The accident TO Gen. W. II. Coz,
and to Gen. Scales, IS now followed by
the narrow escape of Eicc-Pccsident
ThOs. a. Hendricks. He was on a
train which whirled down a bank, and

nearly 4 dozen of its occupants. Hen
bricks escaped with only some painful
bruises.
The shooting Of Mrs. Jackson and
her paramount at Atlanta last week had
some curious features. The wife, a
blonde of 80, had beckoned the saloon
keeper across the street. Her husband
saw it, aud laid his trap. lie fired upon
them in bed in the same room with five
lovely little children. Mcdonald fired
three shots in return. The house took
fire, the children screamed. and the false
wife fell at the door bleeding from a
wound in her stomach. Southwark the

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, as they have can
didates Of every shade of skin and
scheme; but Wake rarely gets left in
such style of matters. The late county
convention which spilled so many cuss-
words into the public ear, has resulted
in great dissatisfaction, and Il ~privateer
ticket conference has been called to
meet next Saturday and put out a new
ticket. Gen. German, Colonel Purnell,
and many other local leaders are said to
back the move. Ed NJ. Bledsoe sent
in his resignation as a nominee Of the
House, but it was not accepted.
1t is understood that the Raleigh
Light Infantry" Will disband. Capt.
Upchurch resigned, and the company
failed to respond to orders 10 parade for
inspection when ordered. y new order
for Friday night has been issued, and
possibly the company may revive. Capt
Anthony Of Hornets Nest Riflemen''
has resigned. He was the first to put
on the new ''Blue"-belly uniform. We
believe the State Guard could be rcor-
ganized, and made one of the most eff
fective bodies in the land. But it should
be SOUTHERN in all things.
