by II. ID. Guerrant u Co., made despe-
rate assault to-day on c. c. HAZEL, a
member OF the firm. Mr.. HAZEL had
given the negro some work. which he
failed 10 do as instructed. He was told
10 leave the store, but was slow IN get

slapped him in the back with light
check book. The negro then picked up
two heavy weights, one of which struck
HAZEL in the face, making an ugly
wound and the other barely missing his
head. The negro then ran, and so far
has evaded the police.
A sensational story comes here from
Pelham, in Caswell county. A young
couple lust married were returning home
when Samuel Walker and John Land
thought TO play a joke on Thorn by
giving them cake which had been
drugged. Both bride and groom were
made dangerously sick, and the neigh
bors were so indignant that the jokers
had TO skip A warrant has been issued
for their arrest.
People near White Mill, in this coun-
ty, are highly incensed at the dastardly
assault on Miss Mary J. Wells by ne
gro named Stephen Myers. He caught
bis victim near her home and dragged
her into the woods and assaulted her in a
horrible manner. Her screams attracted
her sisters TO the spot, who got there in
time TO recognize Myers, and he was ar
rested. The victim is a middle-aged
lady and OF unsound mind.

As telegraphed to the Dispatch last
night General Malone remains chair
man of the Republican party. lie is
deemed the proper man for the place,
and the fittest one for the work TO be
done. The General expects to start out
on his campaign in few days, and Will
sneak at many points in the State. The
most tedious work of the conference held
here WAS that of apportoning speakers
and fixing dates
Arrangements for holding the Tobacco
Fair in this city are progressing satlsiac-
torily Though the date has not yet
been fixed it is believed that the fair viii
oren about the Doth of November All
Of the arrangements are ut the present

Der of vice-presideuts in the counties has
been increased from one to three III each
county.
A well-informed Republican is authori-
tv for the assertion that II any deal has
been made with Langston to secure his
support of General Malone IT was not
made here that really no love IS lost
upon the negro leader by the head OF the
Republican ticket and his friends.
