The people of Columbia county have be-
come scared at the prospect of railroad
being built from lIarvcy's creek through to
Sullivan county, and are making an effort to
get road up Fishing creek. Capt ii, j.,
Conner, of Orangcville and Silas McIIenry,
of Saltwater, are making canvass of the
county to secure the necessary aid -Shick-
shiany Echo,
Oh, no, Brother Tubbs, not scared The
IIarvey's creek road has been alkod of too
long to make us believe 1t is going to be put
through very soon. What the people of this
county are after, or at least what they should
work for if they understand their own inter
ests, is railroad that will open our vast re-
sources that are now locked up, and add tc
the wealth and prosperity of this section
The Fishing creek road will probably con
| meet with the Sullivan Il State Line railroad
and form through line to northern New
York connection now being sought afte
by the Vanderbilt and Gowen parties Tn
matter of our road has gone beyond mer
talk. All II needs now is a little pushing an,
the encouragement of the people and it vii
go through.

Gunners often make mistakes in trcspass-
ing on the premises of farmers and Others in
the quest of game. Many farmers seem to
forget the law relative to this matter. For
the benefit of this class of people and as in
structions for farmers, we make use of II
charge of Judge Ross, of Montgomery county,
to a jury on this subject: mo man has the
right to go upon the premises of another,
whether for cunning or other purposes, with
out thc consent of the owner, and every
person so doing is trespasscr, Although
it is customary for persons to enter upon the
grounds of others for the purpose of fishing,
nutting and cunning, yet they have no right
to do it without the consent Of the owner.
Being trespasser he must get off the prem
ises, if directed, and must not stand upon his
going. He must move off MS fast as he can,
but need not run. If he refuses to 90 the
owner can use as much force as is necessary
to put him Off even if it result in the death OF
the offender; but you dare not use moro
force than is absolutely necessary.

Maodened by Love"

News reached here to-day Of terrible
tragedy, which occurred OH the ''Bonnie
Doom" plantation, known commonly q:
last Friday night, resulting In the
wounding Of two highly accomplished
ladies, and the death of a well known
young man.
Several years ago, Capt. VIII S. Lewis.
son Of the late Judge Langdon Lewis,
Of Ajnden, married Miss Ermine,d dc
Grafinrled, of Columbus, Ga a facina
ting and very accomplished young lady,
anu brought her TO Louisiana to reside.
They lived on Bonnie Doom plantation,
and robert l.. Lewis, a younger brother
Ut the husband resided with them. The
young man Is spoken of by these who
know him as honorable, heightened and
very popular. Two months G Capt.
Lewis died Of pneumonia. and Mrs.
Thompson a widowed sister OF MIS-.
Lewis came once to stay with her. Ii
seems that Robert had fallen desperate
y Ii love with his brothers widow, and,
as the story goes, had persuaded her
70 promise llm not TO change her resi-
dence, but to remain on the plantation.
Of which he had taken charge. and was
part owner, intending, after a decent
interval to ask her to marry him.
Airs. Thompson. however, persuaded
her sister to relinquish this plan, and
return with her to Florida,
An arrangement was made for the two
ladies to leave on the down trim of the
Jewell, which boat they were awaiting
last Friday night. Learning of this plan
Robert became much exasperated and
went into his sisters III laws room IN
demonstrate with her. They had some
conversation, which was ended bv hi,
drawing a pistol and shooting her IN the
right SIDE OF her breast. She fell to the
floor, and Mrs. Thompson hearing the
report OF the pistol hurried into the
room, aad was Immediately shot down
by the madden6d young man, the bali
passing round through the side Of her
neck, but not making a serious wound
Young Lewis then knelt down beside
his slster-in-laW and begged her to speaE.
but as she kept both eyes aud lips
closed, he supposed he had killed her.
and Placing the pistol to his temple, he
blew u his " brains, aud fell beside
her, q corpse. Mrs. Lewis wound is
supposed to be mortal, though She
was alive at the last report. Robert
Lewis will be remembered as having
fought a duel shortly after the war with
the Hon. Claunu Pratt, member Of the
Leg stature from Claiborne Parish, in
which Pratt received a wound that sub
s~equently resulted in his death. The
cause of the duel was some remarks
made by Pratt which reflected upon
J Judge Lewis, Roberts father. MANY
young Lewis friends think that the
death OF Pratt was the cause of his
reckless Intemperance.
Mrs. Lewls's family came originally
Orange Co., n. c., and She was !
a great belle in her girlhood. The whole
affair was most distressing. Mrs. Lewis
had been a most devoted wife, aud aft er
her husbands death, was in such a state
Of grief that her physicians strenuouslv

Well. we like to see our friends flourish.
| A successful establishment helps hai-
! eigh. and that helps the State. There
is often a great deal ofill feeling between
towns and the country but It IS based
on folly. When a town prospers, ana
grows 10 be a city it helps the whole
country for 20 to so miles around.
There are lands within 5 miles OF
Raleigh which Is years ago could not
be sold for s. an acre whereas noW
they could not be bought for So pei
acre. There are splendid lands Ia some
| counties which cannot be sold Tor = an
acre. Wig? Because they are twenty
from the nearest village, and 90 mile.
from any town We do not mean to
say that tie country people are not often
right in their complaints against towns
people. The mistake consists IL blam
ing the whole own for the r~ascalIty,
or ~f9ppery, Of a few. The population
Of a -owr naturally comprises the pro
fessional men, and those trained e
shrewd keen business 7ays, and those
who live by their Wit,. Hence there
are more crimes, and rascalitIeS, and
frauds, IN town than Ia the country.
But you Will, also, find ten Virtues tor
every Vice. The sums given TO Charl
ty, to Religion, to public works, and
public improvements, by our W ctr
zens lin Raleigh would compare favor
ably with any equal number OF people,
anywhere on the globe.
The real source Of harsh feeling be-
tween the town and the country Is the
silly conduct Of a small section OF the
people of both. In town, there i 2
small class Of Snobs and shallow pated
sim9ietons and simpletonesses who a.
sumo airs - aud walk the streets bot
tom upwards, because they have Eade
. lucky strike Ia cotton speculation, or
because their daddy's knew how TO
make store keeping pay 100 per cent,
tone half for tie goods. and the other
half for discount or because their
~grand-daddys managed t. manipulate
a caucus, and climb into a fat Office,
whence Death alone could dislodge
them. There are a few such ninney
hammers III every city, aud they talk OF
ac5 a if the country man, or the
rural rustic" were an inferior being.
There are also a few sharpers, and dis
honest merchants, and tricky lawyers,
in every ely. But they are the excep-
ton not the Rule. They are no more
representative Of the town, than the
man who falsely packs his cotton, or
Iayds his butter, or ''short'-cords his
wood, IS a true representative OF the
country.

week by a son of Gov. Hawkins, Of
Tennessee, whom he had deceived iato
acting as his agent. Loyd'S plan was
to canvas the Southern cities for card,

margin of a map OF the State. When
he had sucked the town dry, he depart

victims to regret that they had not in

on Lloyd Even if he had furnished
the map, It would have been wasted
money. No merchant Of North Caro-
lima ever received an order IN return for
such advertising. Because when peo-

A Quick CHANGE.-The dif.rencc
in width of suags, or track, amene
the Southern Railroads, of course,
necesSitates a change of trucks" OF
wheels, under the Palace" car. which
run Through" over different roads.
Some of u readers may not be aware
how the change is effected. One
method is to have a shallow trench, six
feet wide. and three feet deep. with
several liaes of rails Of different euaces
running through it. When a Slcesp pei
arrives, 1t is switched of, and pushed
down into the trench. A small steam
.agiae sets in motion a pair of jack
screws 1T each side Of the pit, which
hoist the body of the car clear from the
trucks. The latter are then relied out
from under the car, and a suitable pair
rolled in, on the gnase of the new
route. The change can be made in Ave
minutes.
