INTRODTCTIONS

Hoe 1t Should be Done.-In introducing
two persons. the mutual friend should
be very careful, and. in fact, should
knou that such introduction Will be agree
able to both parties.
If invited to spend the evening with a
friend, 1t is the bounden duty of that
friend to introduce you to all of his or
her guests; but %supposing everybody
there has come by invitation of your
host or hostess, it will not be u of
place to introduce yourself by having a
general conversation, Of byintroducing
n to the other for it must be taken
for granted that persons unfit to know
would not be invited.
In making the introduction, it is al
ways better to introduce the younger to
the older, the gentleman to the lady.
and the inferior in station to the more in
telligent in this wise: Mrs. Jones.
allow me to introduce you to my friend,
Miss Smith J" Mrs. Miller, allow me
the pleasure of introducing to you nv
friend, Mr.. Mills" 1t is not necessary

VALUE oF LAND5-CosT OF PRODUCTION
Granville and Rockingham counties
may be taken as fairly typical as to the
character Of the product, value oi lands,
cost Of production, etc. Want OF trans
portati0n facilities, nearness or remote
ness Of markets, aud the cost Of iertllI
zers as affected by freights, would alter
some Of the figures given il applied to
other counties.
GRANVILLE COUNTY.-Ihe price OF the
best lands is about an average OF = per
acre; yield, Coo pounds. Inferior lands
are worth s. to s.; yield 500 pounds OF
inferior tobacco. Wages, by the day, for
field bands, 80 cents and board, by the
year, 500 to $50 without board, or $50
with board. Estimated cost on the best
soils, $40 to SD 80 per hundred pounds
In the northern part Of this county a con
siderable amount OF red. coarse shipping
tobacco is raised, which greatly reduces
the average price for the county.

MISCELLANEOUS.

A PRELIMINARY injunction has been
granted preventing the American Base
Ball Association from consummating the
expulsion of the "Mets.''
EARLY on the morning of the 9Th a sud
den explosion startled the people of Kan
sas City from their slumbers and investi-
cation showed that the gas works had been
blown up and the city was in total dark
ness. The works were reduced to a wreck
by the explosion and the debris took fire,
which completed the destruction. What
caused the explosion was being investi-
gated, the officers of the company being of
the opinion that it was dynamite. The
night engineer was badly injured and the
loss was estimated at over slCO,OOO.
IT is stated that the Queen Regent of
Spain has signed decree granting am
nesty to political and press offenders includ-
ing all exiles except those who were guilty
of rebellion while holding military COM
mands. The latter, however, may solicit
clemency. Press prosecutions will be aban-
doned and journalists now in prison re-
leased.
AN explosion Of natural gas occurred in
the house of Wesley Greer, Cannonsburg,
Pa, while the family were asleep. The
whole family (six persons) were suddenly
blown into the yard, but no one was fatally
injured. The house was destroyed.
A MUTUAL insurance concern, known as

In the case of Carnegie Bros, of
Pittsburgh, Pa, against the Cleveland,
Youngstown e. Pittsburgh Railway,
Judge Baxter, in the United States
Court, at Columbus, O., lately rendered
an important decision. The claim of
the company and others, including the
contractor of New York City, amounted
to total of about three hundred thou
sand dollars, and the Central Trust
Company came in with a cross
bill asking for the foreclosure
and payment of the first mort
gage bonds, amounting to q
million and half. The Judge held
that the claims for material and labor
were prior under the law of 1888, not
withstanding the mortgage may have
been placed on the property prior to
that time. Judge Baxter, in rendering
the decision, created somewhat of a
sensation by remarking that all such
schemes were Matched in fraud, and it
would do some good if the principals
who mako business Of swindling
ssberers and contractors could be
placed In the fsnitsnpsry.

The Supreme Court of Ohio mas de-
cided the case of Scofield, Schurner
&, League against the Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern Railroad, in favor
Of the plaintiffs. They are independ-
ent oil refiners of Cleveland, and
sought to enjoin the railroad company
from granting the Standard Oil Com
pany lower rates for carrying oil from
Cleveland west than it granted them.
They claimed that lower rates were
given the Standard Oil Company by
giving them rebate on the regular
tariff. The case was decided by Judge
Blandin of the Cuyohaga Common
Pleas. and the question raised was re-
served in the District Court, and the
case brought direct to the Supreme
Court, where it was argued a few
weeks ago and has just been decided
in favor of the firm.
