RALEIGH, n. u, July l3.-Early
in the spring desperate named
Aaron Ingram committed murder
in Swain county. His victim was
man named Sherman WEIGH. He
went in hiding, but was pursued and
fed into Tennessee. a sheriff and
posse went after him, but Ingram went
TO Arkansas. Governor Scales to-day
offered reward Of 5000 for him.
A calculation Of the preferences OF
Wake-county delegates for congress.
man is that tbirty-six favor General
Cox, thirty.four G. NJ. Cooke, and
twenty-five b. II. Bum.
a very severe wind and rain-storm
passed near Sherwood church, Cumber-
land county, blowing down large trees.
Considerable damage was done the corn
crops. The rainfall was greater than at
any time in about forty years-so says
the oldest inhabitants. The entire low
lands crop on the Cape Fear river has
been destroyed by freshet. The crop
prospects look gloomy, and farmers can
not expect more than half q crop Of corn
and cotton. This is the deliberate opin-
ion OF Cumberland farmers.
Two weeks ago bright and promis-
ing son Of Colonel Samuel Mcdowell
Tate, of Morganton, was kicked by
mule. After lingering in much pain he
has died. His age was nineteen. lie
bore his fathers name.
Tho Governor has made requisition
on the Governor Of Virginia for Bill
Chavis, a negro who was convicted Of

There are now over 800 guests at the
Atlantic Hotel, Morehead City. Most
of the State officers go there in the
course Of the next ten days. Governor

in the mountains. lie has engaged a
suite Of apartments at the Atlantic.
The roof is being put on the new
State building for the Supreme Court
and library. Work is pushed rapidly.
Fire at Snced's Ferry, 0nslow county,
destroyed the residence Of I. J. Caps,
whose loss was $500, with no insur-
ance. The house of Webb Trask was
also badly damaged by fire.
The liquor-men were unable to find
foothold near Raleigh save at Milburn,
n. c., six miles distant. and at point
near the fairgrounds. There is great
demand for jugs, and the liquor-dealer
near the fairgrounds, who is only three
miles from Raleigh, will make for
tune. The nti-Prohibitionists are angry
OF the passage Of the pTohibitory law,
and they resort to all sorts Of schemes
to evade it. 1t is probable that one or
two people in the city are selling on
the sly, and some arrests may be eX-
pected. Attempts will be made to
break up the business Of dealers near the
city. The county commissioners will
be urged to revoke licenses. The Capt.
tai Club here was put to some trouble
by the adoption of the law, but now
sells to its own members. Strangers
taken to the Club as guests Of its men,
hers are no longer allowed, as hereto
fore, to purchase club liquors. The
sales of temperance beverages of all
kinds are unprecedented, and the drug
stores and some grocery-stores are in
this way doing very heavy business.
The question Of liquor or no liquor is
already deeply seated in local politics,
and is an important factor even in the
congressional race.
Over year ago Henry Scott color
ed) left GoldsbOIo' for Kansas to work.
