/ known white man near southern Pines.
/ The man was a repaiTer OF umbrellas, and
/ from prpcrs found on h'm II appears that his
name was Edward Hardy and that be was
/ from south Carolina.
/ The remark IS made here that Governor

The greed for Office on the part Of the Re-
] al "a
! Office one can name there are dozens OF ap.
plicants. It IS noteworthy that not few
! negroes are among these, and they are
neither slow nor quiet IN pressing their
claims. Now IL remains to be sPcn whether
/ the guesses are sbrewd that Harrison viii
appoint few negroes TO Office OF any degree
/ Of importance.
The Raleigh sboe-Factory is TO be so en-
| lqrged that IL wiItDe able 20 manufacture 900
pairs daily.

aggregate $4,000. lie has nOw gone out
/ Of The county 10 make up the amount. 10

! collector.
! There is reason TO believe that in the course
/ Of 1889 the state will again engage in hsh
! propagation, possibly on a small scale, or m
/ conjunction with z private association or
! with the Government.
The state pentcniary has now more con-
vicls ut work on railroads than ever before.
| There are some 900 so engaged, and there are
applications for at least 800 more on iiie. The
/ state never ceases 70 exercise entire supefyi'
/ SION aud control OF It's conVcts. As result
/ Of this and a. constant wslehfuness, the con-
Wet system OF North Carolina Is as free from
abuses as that " any State or country.
Unless fuuds can be secured the graded
schools OF this city will have 70 be closed

In recent interview James II. Jones
/ (coored), o. this city, who was the body

are 30 lncehsed against Jones, who is a Re-
publican and an alderman. that they refuse

I pretty positive thing thai the Legislature

that the first duty is 10 those disabled men
who now get only $50 yearly.
