The News-Observer says: "Some
time ago learned Judge of the Su
perior Court of North Carolina held
that a bull dog was "deadly wea
pom That was knotty question,
but knottier one now arises. In
the market Tuesday two negroes
quarrelled. The lie was passed, and
the man whose veracity was ques-
toned at once swung q ten pound
mud>turtle around his head, and
let it fall with all its weight and his
added force upon the other mans
mead. The case came before the
Mayor. It vas claimed that the
turtle was deadly weapon. The
blow with it had inflicted a deep
wound on the mans head. It is a
nice point of law, and will attract
attention. The Superior Court will
have to tackle the case.

Interestinr Experiences.

Hiram Cameron, Furniture Dealer Of Co
lumbus, Ca, tells his experience, thus "For
three yoars have tried every remedy on the
market for Stomach and Kidney Disorders,
but got no relief, until used Electric Bltters.
Took five bottles and am now cured, and
think Electric Bitters the Best Blood Purifier
in the world. Major A. B. Reed, of West
Iaberty, KY, used Electric Bitters for an old
standing Kidney affection and says: Nothing
has ever dono me go much good as Electric
Bitters.''

two years, and in January, 1873 re-
tu>ned to South Carolina, entered

when he removed to Marshall, N. c..
when he continued his practice un-
til February, 1880. when he was ap>
pointed Deputy Clerk of the U. S.

had much interesting and instructive
conversation. From him we learn that
educational interest is growing in the
State especially IN certain sections. The
only obstacle to better work is want of

A New SITE FOR THE FEDERAL CoURT
HOUSE.
A number of our citizens have
suggested the Buttrick property, at
the intersection of Patton Avenue
and Haywood street. now occupied
as a broom factory as a most eligi-
BILE location for the federal court
house. There is about one acre of
land in this beautifully situated
property, surrounded by the leading
business avenues of our city,
the eastern corner on Patton Ave
nue. Immediately fronting the street
from the depot. It is rather eleva-
ted, and, handsome structure ups
on it, besides its local conveniences
and advantages, would present a
most handsome appearance front
ing the western main approaches to
the city. In many respects it is a
very admirable location, and a
large number of our citizens will
present the place to the considera-
ton of the government agent who
may be appointed to select site for
our new public building.
