like a charm and Mr.. E. was much pleased
with the outlook for his new industry.
He informed the Obser0e," that he ex-
pected to add spinning and weaving ma
chinery during the SUMMER and double
the present capacity of his factory as
early as practicable.
An item from the city of Charleston
is to the effect that Moses johnson, the
colored driver for DR.. Mellow, who was
presented by the ~coroner's jury as an &C
cessory to the murder of Capt. E F. Daw-
son of the NeaOs and Courier, was taken
before Judge Wetherspoon on the LIST

The editor of the Durham Tobacco
Plant has the nerve to say: A cry Of in
dignation should come from every quar-
ter of the State at the action of the peni-
Tertiary authorities in agreeing to hire a
large number of convicts to the Wetmore
Shoe Factory, at Raleigh, at so cents per
day. Thus is convict labor to be brought
in competition with the honest labor of
the State. 1t is simply outrageous and
should be protested against by all good
citizens.
A leading clergyman of Louisville
was suddenly called away, and a substf-
tute preached to his congregation. The
substitute had no sermon ready, and he
used one of the regular minister's manu-
scripts. The tracings on the margin kept
him smiling all through a deep and serious
discourse, much to the wonder of the
congregation. j.. Among other marginal
notes were " bite lip bitterly" extreme
agitation, " "pious smile" and cloud ring
ing voice.
TO avoid arrest and trial under a
charge of treason, Gen. B~oulanger, under
advice of friends, fed from Paris to the

his conference with Rochefort at Mons

Beige warns Boulanger that his expulsion
from Belgium will follow any lntrigues on
his part against the French government.

atlanta Constitution. at makes the
price and governs the market. The
making of steel has up to this time been
controlled in the North. The bessemer
company by smothering the basic patent
under which alone the phosphoric ores of
the South could be worked, has protected
the North in the making of ingots. In
four years that patent will have expired
and then the South will gather the steel
industry unto itself"
The special sale at the Capital Alli-
ance Warehouse on last Wednesday was
a most gratifying success. The sales
aggregated about $4,000, and the farmers
all seemed satisfied and pleased with the
prices obtained. The counties of Wake,
Johnston, Nash, Wilson, Franklin and
Chatham, were represented. The manage
ment and buyers seem determined to
make the Raleigh tobacco market stand
alongside the best and foremost in the
State, and we congratulate them on this
suspicious beginning.

lowing letter was received by a physician
