OYER The STATE.

the removal Of a large oak stump /
which occupied the middle of the side
walk in the western part Of the city. |
That stump is the same one News
reporter doubled over one night last
summer and skinned himself generally. |
A cross street has been opened which
placed this Internal stump right in the
middle of it, and but for that it would
have possibly remained as a falling
over block for all time to come

In our last issue we published such
showing as to convince the most
skeptical that our present Grand Jury
is composed of MEN OF WEIGHT. The
Jury is composed of twenty good men
and true, fit representatives of grand
county. One of them was in to see us
yesterday, and requests us to say that
the Jury has been polled on the Guber-
natorial question, and they are unit
in their choice for Governor, fact
which will perhaps account for the
high average of their weight, for every
mothers son OF them is a STONE MAN.

The L., N. o. 4 I. Railroad Compa-
NY are having built twenty locomotives
and 500 box cars to meet the demands
of the increased business anticipated
this coming Fall.
The law requiring railroad compa-
nies to furnish separate passenger
coaches for the whites and blacks
having recently been approved by the
Supreme Court of the State, the rail-
road companies in this State have
done away with the smoking cars and
now have sepalat coaches for whites
and blacks. The law went into opera
ton on the A Il NJ. road Friday, th'

4 We have heretofore opposed Co
4 stitutional Convention, and have
a. ways, when discussing the subjc'
!. given, what seemed to us to be, goo
reasons for the faith that was with
= us. We confess, however, that o
views have undergone material chan
on the subject. We believe times {
mand several important changes
D. the constitution. These, and oth'
u that have been proposed or suggest'
we will discuss at the proper tin
" Suffice it, for the present, to say, Il
we think tho next Legislature shot
\, give the people chance to vote
the question, (elccting delegates at
=. same time, and thus "killing two BIZ
with one stone,") and. If a bill to Il
effect is introduced early In the sessi
IS we have no doubt 1t will pass and
: come a law, no matter who may
elected Governor. We give 1t our
dorsement in advance, and shall ad
- cate and vote for the Convention,
Id der the bill.-Southern Reporter.
