The gu ct Of the town was disturb
ed twice last week. The Republican
township convention was held on
Wednesday TO appoint delegates to
nominate county officers and repre>
sentatives on the following day. The
first days proceedings were very
uoisy ard resulted in one or two
fights though little damage was
done to the dussky combatants.
They held on all day session the fol
lowing and noise and confusion
reigned supreme. There was a good
deal of quarrelling and swearing but
no fights. The result of their de
alterations was that the present re-
gister Of deeds and the present clerk
of the Superior court were nominal
ed with John Mitchell as a candi-
date for sheriff. The nominee for
the Legislature is T. Newell Nc
Kenny, youth of twenty-five who
has only been resident of this
State for two years. 1t will be an
easy matter for him to be defeated
by Mr.. NJ. L. Wood his democratic
competitor. There is a rumor adoat
that there will be an Independent
negro republican candidate in the
field who will enter the lists for that
position. There were about fifteen
negroes before the convention asking
for tue nomination and each and
every one of them are dissatisfied
with the result Of the convention.
The Rev. W. II. Riddick, who has
charge of the Methodist churches IN
this cou"ty, began series Of meet
ings at tao court house last Friday
night. The Methodist have very
fine building in town, but it did not
have seating capacity for the large
congregation that attends these
meetings.
Mr.. Frank Kale shipped bale of
cotton last Friday which weighed
eight hundred and two pounds.
The farmers Of this community are
speaking of organizing an associa-
ton for holding an annual fair in this
towo. Oae would be Of great benefit
to this community and no county
in the east could show a greater
variety of agricultural products or
fine specimens Of any kind of manu-
features than could be shown by the
people Of this county.
Prof. 2. r. Boggs has received go

The Superior court which will con-
Yene on the 9th inst will have sew
eral very important criminal cases to
dispose Ozone Of murder, two of
perjury and about fifteen cases OF

docket is also very large and there
are several very important cases on
it.

THE AMERICAN INsTITUTE-COopER
UNION--A GREAT FLAG SCIENCE.
The fifty-ninth annual exhibition
of the American Institute began last
week in the big exposition building
at 63d street and Third avenue. For
the coming two months this big fair
will be one Of the most popular at
tractions Of the Metropolis, repre-
senting, as it does to large extent,
Our progress IN the industrial arts
and mechanical ingenuity. To
enumerate in this Space its many
interesting and instructive sights is
obviously impossible. Suffice it to
say that the exhibition aims to be
national in It's nature. and is q bust
ness enterprise of the first magni-
tude. Many large manufacturers
make as many sales at the Institute
in two months as they do in six
months at their aalesrooms. Every
available inch ofspace ia occupied
by the exhibitors, and the prospects
are that this years shew will be more
successful than any of its ffty-eight
predecessors.

LONG MAY 1T WAVE.

A patriotic project is on foot to
place the stars and stripes so high
as to be the first thing seen by the
passengers Of an incoming ship. 4
hugh pile 125 feet high is to be soon
erected between the twin lighthouses
at the Atlantic Highlands, near this
city which are 181 feet above the
level Of the sea. The flag will there
fore waYe 500 feet above sea level
and he visible far out TO sea and be
fore any other object. The cost Of
the enterprise, which will be about
5000, is being raised by popular sub
scription the limit being 81.
The flag will be kept flying every
day in the year and be taken care of
BY the keepers Of the lighthouse.
The scheme also includes the placing
of flags at all the principal, harhors
Of the country, and its originators
hope to see a liberty pole at every
cross road through the land.
