WELDON IND T%ICINITY.
Trains Discriminatory Fear and Cincin'
natl Observation-Disclosures Burned.

WELDON. n. c.. June 12.-ISpecial. The
people of Tarboro are much exercised over
the discontinuance after the Goth inst. of
trains TO that place via the Hitch road. This
road kept down freights by its competition
with the CoastLine, and its discOntinuance will
put the people again in the power ofthat great
corporation. The reason given by MIR. Hitch
for this action is that the road does not pay.
This statement is not satisfactory 10 the pa
irons of the road, who claim that while this is
the dull season the road declared a dividend
of 8 per cent. last year and that 1t has been
better patroniZed this year than ever before.
They say there are other reasons.
The Cape Fear and Cincinnati railroad will
run entirely across this state. having its
eastern terminus at Southport, in Brunswick
county. Mr.. George Is. Morton, of Whining
ton, vice-president of the company, says lie
has received application from the roads Bos-
ton syndicate for 100. 900 acres of land
suitable for trucking, 100 which it is in
tended 10 put 1000 German families. Five
hundred families of Scotch farmers are await
ing notice as to the time when they can To-
guarantees 200 French families 10 settle on
the line of the road for the purpose of en-
gaging in grape and wine culture.
, The Norfolk and Southern Railroad Com
pany has purchased the Albemarle and Pan
togo railroad, the price paid being $3.50, 900.
The two roads will now be operated as
one management.
On Wednesday the store and warehouse of
Paul Harrell, at Woodland. Northampton
County. took fire from some unknown cause
and were entirely destroyed, together with a
stock Of goods belonging TO Taylor Il Parker.
The loss, which was $1,000. was partly covered
by insurance, A clerk who was asleep in the
store at the time barely escaped with his life.
The fair. warm weather Of the past few
DAYS has been most beneficial to the crops.
The cotton is improving, though there is
complaint of its dying in some localities.
