The stir about the recent double lynch

Galhard, one of the men accused OF beng
nthelynching party. Indignantly dlsclalms
that he had ANYTHING 10 do with 1t, ana
savs he can prove that he was at home with
his wife and family at the time. The war
rants issued have never been presented.
IL is very doubtful whether the better
judgment Of the well-informcd negroes
will make any Roadway against the argu-
ment Of the labor agents. 1t Is urged that
the negroes are land-hungry and wish To
90 TO a country where they can secure
land. But they can get land cheap IN
North Carolina, vet not IA twelfth are land
holders some say not twentieth. The
white people are taking no part in the
matter and do not even offer advice. The
negro is left 10 his own devices and de-
sires.
The porpoise-fsheries along the coast
will be in good shape for the coming sea-
sons work. The factory which works up
the hides failed last spring, but Is still IN
operation. 1t appears that there is con-
siderable prof. in the business, properly
conducted.
MOONsHINING.
The revenue officers have succeeded well
in their efforts to stamp out mOOnshining
in this district. There is quite change IN
the status of affairs, as Tar AZ can be
learned as compared with that year ago.
The Cross and White cases at this term
of Wake Superior Court Will be taken up.
They are overshadowed by the Boyle case,
and hence will attract very little attention.
Both Cross and White are now depressed
in spirits and no longer lounge on the
streets, as was once their custom. There
are only two cases against them set Tor tins
term. Some eight or nine other cases arc
vet in reserve. The case against Cross and
White, on their appeal, will certainly be
heard by the Supreme Court OF the United
States in November. There has been an
expression of doubt as 20 whether their
case would certainly be advanced by that
court, but your correspondent Is assured
that IL certainly will be.
The rumors that work on the railway
from Springhope, Nash county, 10 Raleigh,
would soon begin prove TO be grOundlesS.
There are no signs of the extension.
The exercises at the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College on the Sd of October will
attract many people from this CITY, and
also from other points. Things are being
nut into neat shape at the college. Ii is
quite probable that the Raleigh street-car
system will be extended so as 10 reach the
coliaOa which IL maxi 10 the CitV Park and
