ARGUS, and besides giving pal
pable facts about the Populists
and exact causes of their over,
whelming defeat in his State, he
gives North Carolina people some
serious things to think about.
That is a heavy hit he gives
Kolb about his corruption fund
from old Hoar and other New
England Republicans. Of course
Kolb wants to make some show
for THEN doodle" and hence he
is crying fraud and taking on

GENT w. G.. Lewis has just
returned from a visit, in com
pany with Col. Kenan and Col.
Tate, to the battlefield of Gettys-
burg for the purpose, under
commission, of determining the
advances made and the positions
gained by the North Carolina
brigades in that great and mem
orable battle of July 1868. Gent

In a difficulty which occurred
between two road hands, Fred.
Howell, white, and Will Lane,
colored, while at work on the
road in Fork township, Friday,
Howell received a fearful blow
on the head with a shovel, in the
hands of the negro, which rem
dered him unconscious. Howell
is said to be in a very critical
condition. The negro, after hit
ting the blow, fled, and up to
this time has not been captured.
MIR. J. E. Peterson, chairman
of the Board of County Commits
sioners, has been untiring in his
work of inspecting and having
the bridges and road
ways leading into the city. He
is a hustler all round and we
of no one who could have
perfected this much needed and
important work with more com
mendable rapidity than he has.
It was a difficult task, but having
the right man in the right place,
the work was done with credit to
himself and the county.
ALL of the bridges that were
by the recent heavy
rains have been temporarily re-
paired, except the Arlington
bridge, which will be repaired
by Monday. and in consequence
the city was fl:ll of country peo-
pie yesterday, after being cut off
for several days. Some of them
seemed to be greatly elated over
the fact that they could get here
once more, and there was more
drunken people here yesterday
than we have seen before in II
months. The guard-house was
packed full.
JUDGE W. r. Allen left yester-
day afternoon for Marion, n. c.,
where on Monday next he will
open court" and for the first
time don the ermine. Judge
Allen will have long circuit and
will have worn off the wire
edge before he comes to preside
over the courts of this district,
as it will take him some four
years to make the rounds from
where he takes hold. He takes
with him to his high Office the
cordial good wishes of hosts OF
friends in this city and section.
