DEATH OF +. A. DEAL, ESQ.

We regret TO record the death Of j. Augustus
Deal, ESQ.,, which occurred at his residence in
Blacks Station, this county, on Wednesday the
23rd ultimo. The disease which terminated his
life was pneumonia, with which he suffered bu1
few days, having been violently attacked Mr.
Deal was among the foremost Of the most liberia
minded and energetic citizens of Upper Carolina
and had been identified with number Of public
enterprises of importance. His latest enterprise
was in the formation of the Cherokee Falls Man
ufacturng Company, Of which he was president
and the controlling spirit, the mill, erected
mainly through his efforts having been in sue
cessfnl operation at Cherokee Falls in this coun'
ty for four or five years. Although the bent Of
his mind was on the material development and
industrial progress of the State, he was we'll In
formed on subjects of political economy, and
while he did not desire political preferment al
the urgent solicitation of his friends, who repos
ed the utmost confidence in his ability and lnteg
rity, he accepted the Democratic nomination FOL
the House of Representatives in 1876, and with
the others on that ticket was elected. In the
irving times Immediately succeeding the elec'
ton, he stood squarely and firmly with the par
ty of honesty and reform. He was subsequent
ly elected to fill the unexpired term OF Mr.
Green, who was elected member of the House
in 1878; and as his legislative record was with
out blemish, so was his private character un'
sullied. His death removes from our county
one of its most valued citizens.

THE FEE FIENDs.

So far as known the fee fends took
nothing from the government yester-
day. Probably the plunderers are in
sympathy with the Saturday holiday
movement. But, hold on. half Minute
we're too fast again. The Commits
sioner was put in the way of gobbling
fair days wages for an honest man.
The men arrested on indictments for
unlawful cohabitation were taken be-
fore the Commissioner to renew their
bonds. and thus one of the fee fiends
gathered in enough to prevent the day
from being counted lost. while
the Marhai, another of the fee
fiends gets few dollars for notifying
the defendants that they will please go
before his brother fiend and give bonds.
All these bonds should be given in the
District Court. but if this were done the
Commissioner would make nothing
from them and the government would
save his fees. The fee fends know how
to work the act most prpftably for
themselves, and while the government
continues to yield up at their bidding
they will keep on working. When the
end comes and an investigation is had,
some startling figures will be exposed.
