"The result of the meeting of the committee

that short time will not again be adopted

company is progressing satisfactorily with
their business in Liverpool, and in spite OF
the strong opposition on the part of Liver
pool brokers, about twenty limited companies
of Oldham have already appointed them thelI
brokers. All accounts agree that "the corner
ended very quietly"

now in Mecklenburg Jail awaiting execution
for burglary on the 25th of November, was, it
is said, United States deputy marshal in
York county, South Carolina. during the re-

torious colored political characters in the
county during all that dark time"
Says the Gastonia Gazette "Mr. Frank
Boyd, we'll to do farmer of CASTOR county,
bade his family good bye last Wednesday and
has not been seen since. The family and
neighborbood are very much alarmed, as he
sometimes has strange spells. They have ex'
amined all the old mines around, and Friday
intended to drain Mr.. T. j. Falls mill pond

It's projectors propose to reach one of the
North Carolina ports and there to establish
coaling depots and obtain an outlet for the
ores of their rich mountain beds. 1t is

the surveyors assert that the road is to be
built by Lenoir, Taylorsville and Statesville
that the building of the road was assured, and
that the people along the route would be
asked for nothing.

NOTES FROM SOUTHERN YORK.

SMITHS TURNOUT, September 2S.-We
have recently had some rain in this vicinity,
which damaged the opening cotton to some
extent, though we were glad it came, as there
were great many farmers who wished to
SOW oats as early as possible.
Our cotton crop, so far as | know, east OF
the C. G. & A. Railroad, and north Of the
York and Chester county line, will fall short
by at least 40 per cent of last years crop:
Corn will not make one fourth the yield OF
last year. The corn in great many fields
has been cut down aud cured for fodder.
The farmers are gathering their cotton
very rapidly. A great portion of them are
half through picking now. =,
There will be large quantity of small
grain sowed by our farmers this tall, pro-
yided the season is favorable. E. 5. b.
