The Supreme Court Reporter.

Owing to the great increase in the
work devolved upon the Attorney
General the legislature deemed it wise
to relieve that officer of the labor OF
reporting the decision of the Supreme
Court. The act lately passed returned
to the former system of having the re-
porter of its decisions selected by the
court itself. The News and Observer
says that on yesterday the Court Sc
lected for sthat post Robert T. Gray,
Esq, of Raleigh. His appointment
will give universal satisfaction and is
guarantee that the reports of the
Court will be inferior to none of the
former volumes. Mr.. Gray is native
of Winston and is a brother Of Messrs.
J. A., e. E., E. S. and w. T.-Gray, OF
this city.

There viii be no Extra Session

WASHINGTON, March Sit is now
practically settled that there will be
no extra session of the Fifty-third
Congress unless the financial condi-
ton of the country absolutely requires
it. Mr.. Cleveland realizes that the
new Congress would not repeal the
Sherman law without the substitute
of legislation strongly in the direction
of free coinage of silver. As conse-
auence there is a feeling here that
there will be no extra session of Con-

THE NICE WEATHER
Facilitates the Farm Work and the
Farmers are Busy.

Correspondence ofthe Sentinel.l
Bellows CREEK, n. c., March IL
We are having some nice weather now
for farm work and the farmers are
making good use of it. Owing to the
rough weather comparatively little
work has been done. Farmers are
dissatisfied with the low prices Of to-
bacco and say they are not going to
plant as much this year as they did
last, but there's nothing else we can
raise to any advantage. The farming
interest of our country is getting in a
bad condition. 1t is very much like
our Legislature, the profits won't pay
the expenses. We had hoped ouI
Legislature would pass some laws that
would benefit the former, but we
don't seem to be in it at all.
We are very sorry Mr.. Watson's to
| bacco bill did not become law. l.
| we had more men ofgrit we would ge
rid of these outrageous trusts that ar
sapping the life of our country.
