wealthy planter of Edgecombe writes

heartily seconds Maj. Mayo's motion.
Mr.. G. T. Williams sent President
Davis a cane of Edgeconbe wood.
He wrote in acknowledgement, as we
find it in the Southcrner The cane
is precious to me, having been cut by
a North Carolina soldier who contri-
buted to our first victory in the war,
and remembers, as l do, with pride
the battle of Big Bethel. North Car
Dina did her full duty there, an6 it
has given me pleasure often to bear
testimony to the fielity of her sons on
many trying occasions"

been living in Granville county, was

Three tobacco barns in Granville
county were fired last Wednesday near

were destroyed. A negro suspe cted
as the incendiary is being pursued.
The copper-producing region con-
fined to the counties of Person and
Granville is known as the Blue Wing
district, and has only attracted slight
attention in the past, but from all APP
pearances is destined to prove valu-
able and reliable factor in the general
make up Of the States area of metal
liferous production. The eminent DIR.
Emmons, once State Geologist, ex-
pressed the opinion in his report that
this section would eventually prove of
considerable richness. 1t is expected
that the near future will verify this
assertion.
