exciting scene. At Branchvile negro man.
a mulatto girl ana a white man all boarded
the up bound train. The three passengers
took seats in the second-class car Inc
| white man sat behind the negro, and the
mulatto girl sat on the opposite SIDE or the
aisle 1t is said the negro noticed the white
man winking at the girl, who Is said by
! those who saw her 10 be young and
rather good looking. The negro objected
TO the Irritation, and spoke 20 the white
man about it. The white man became in
furiatei at the idea of the Negroes trying to
correct his conduct, and quarrel ensued.
One word let to auot0er until finally both
men arose from their seats and confronted
each other. The white man pulled his pis
tol and pushed it against the breast Of the
negro anc pulled the trigger, but IL snapped
and refused to fire each time. The white
man then pulled up his pistol to see what
was the matter with it as it would not
discharge the bullets and he pulled
the trigger. and the third time
it fired. and fortunately the ball passed
through the window. This shot came very
near hitting a passenger. While the two
meu were clinched the negro managed TO
draw his pistol, but was prevented from
using it by the interference Of the conduc-
tor, William Verdery. who stepped in and
stopped the belligerents from fighting. The
train was stopped and the negro was put off
in the woods. The white man, who is said
to be dangerous character from Black
vile, was carried to that station.

SPANISH BAYONET.

Another of Florida's Pestiferous
Growths Develops Commercial Value.
ST. AUGUSTINE, FLA, Oct. 27.-Anothsr
Of Fiorida's ''pestiferous" growths. the
Spanish bayonet, looms up as an article of
commercial value, capable Of taking its
position by the side of phosphates and sisal
hemp. The word "again" is used for the
reason that the patent office records show
that In 1876 a patent was granted to a party
in Tombstone, Ari. for the roanufact-
uring Of rope hemps from the various
growths OF the 'Yuccas plants" including
the "Spanish bayonet."
Owing to the want of capital and infiu-
ence the invention continued latent About
the same time Chicago men obtained a
patent for making paper pulp out of the
yuccas, including the palmetto and the
Spanish payonetm This valuable invention
discovery was also laid aside, but not for
the want Of money, but because the paper
making corporations brought up their dan
gerous "Florida's palmetto paper
pulp"
To-day Capt O'Shea is commended to
the industries of the world for his successful
efforts in colonizing the Burmudas with
sisal hemp growers with the aid of the
English government; and down to the pres
emit hour one fails 10 find the slightest indi-
cation wherein the authorities of this state
have given official encouragement for the
| cultivation OF isal hemp or for the manu-
facture OF the hemp, thousands of tons of
which are being annually destroyed in
Florida by people who see nothing in the
| palmetto and Spanish bayonet of value.
Men OF brains know that the "yuccasn
plants are latent blessings to Florida
Georgia and the arid plains, which will
with the least encouragement give to the
| people the key to the hemp markets of the
| world.
There is no cost other than the price of
| the land on which the plants grow wild,
Fire and frost will not destroy it while the
least Part Of the root remains uniniured.
Recent experiments made by J. Z. Nor
gan of this city. proves the fiber of the
| Spanish bayonet to excel the MANILA hemI
rope for cheapness, flexibility, strength and
| durability. The process SO far adopted by
Mr.. Morgan is very crude, yet he is able tC
obtain fiber Of excellent quality to the ex.
tent Of 40 per cent. Of the leaf. Much OF
the fiber is lost by him in Kidding 1t of thu
| vegetable matter.
His experiments are so satisfactory &c
men capable OF approaching the value OF
renewing the efforts OF ltr Morgan, ami
Others, TO place the yuccas hemps from the
Spanish bayonet) In the commercial world
that company for the manufacturing OF
the hemp is now being formed, with works

Potato Bugs.

Growers of the Irish potato
in North Carolina and Virginia
are more or less troubled by two
species of insects which attack
the vines. Doryphora decem-
lineata, the Colorado beetle, is
IAN old and well-known pest;
Lytta murina, the black Blister
beetle, is less known, but is be-
coming more plentifuleach year.
The bestremedy for both these
bests is Parish green or London
purple The purple costs less
Than the green, and is easier 70
Hhandle, and therefore prefera-
4 bic. The poison is best applied
wet, using one ounce 70 each
six gallons Of water. A com
mon waterproof will do for a
few rows Of vines, but where
there Is as much as one acre in
a garden IL will pay 70 get the
knapsack sprayer, shown al
Figure / IN fbulletln 10 Oh the AZ,
G. Experiment Station. This
bulletin will be sent free 20 any
citizen of North Carolina, and
10 citizens Of other States on
receipt Of six cents in stamps.
Instead Of plain water IL will
be more satisfactory 20 use Che
Bordeaux Mixture, prepared ac
cording 10 Formula No. ;, giver
in the aforementioned bulletin
using the Bordeaux Mixture al
IL il were water. This com
pound mixture will protect th,
vines from blight as well a
bugs. From four TO six applica
tions will be needed according
as the weather is wet or dry
Rains wash the poison off th,
vines. Gerald Mccarthy, N. .

DR.. gayre was the first American sur

operation for the hip joint disease, or
'morbus coxarius," to use the scientific
name. He repeated the operation before
the international medical convention held
in Philadelphia in 1876 His record rs a
surgeon, skilltul and daring, is equal to
that of any American now living. He has
been surgeon to Bellevue hospital and the
Charity hospital, and in the Bellevue Med
ical school professor of arthopedc surgery
and fractures and luxations and of clinical
surgery. Foreign medical societies have
,honored DR.. Sayrc in many ways, and his
name Is rs well known abroad as in Amer

if you should suppose that this courtesy
