DEATH OF POSTMASTER BUM, OF
ROCKY MOUNT.

The Wilmington Messenger of
Sunday says:
We are exceedingly sorry to learn
Of the death 0! Mr.. Bennett Bum, the
popular and efficient postmaster at
Rocky Mount. He died Yesterday
morning about $50 o'clock. Mr..
Bum was highly esteemed by all who
knew him and his death will lie a
great loss to Rocky Mount. He was
4 Democrat and was appointed by
President Cleveland.
The death of Mr.. Bum removes a
most excellent gentleman. He was
af1ble, popular, and useful and
honored citizen of his town and com
munity. He was a cousin of ex-Con-
gresham B. H. Bum, and was a
member Of the firm of Battle, Bum &
Co., cotton factors and commission
merchants, which did business in
Norfolk some years ago.

The Easter number OF Hmper's Young
People published April 9TH will contain
an article entitled ''Sports and Games in
Central Africa" by Lieutenant A. |.
Mountenay Jephson. Lieutenant Jephson
was Henry NJ. Stanley's second in COM
mand in his last trip into the center OF
Africa in search of Emin Pasha, and in
the course of this long and dangerous
journey he had many opportunities of
seeing how the African savages amuse
themselves. This article is one result of
his observations. 1t is the first of a
series entitled "Sports in Many Lands"
including English boarding school sports,
Partisan boys games, odd Indian sports,
etc, which will be published in Harper s
Young People from time to time. The
same number of the Young People will
contain a fully illustrated article about
bicycles.

AJOKE AT RANSOM'S EXPENSE.

n TIE
The Washington correspondent of
the Winston Sentinel, under date of
March goth, gets off the following:
Yesterday the brilliant and versatile
John R. Morris went with General
Ransom to see Mr.. Cleveland in the
interest of friend of Mr.. Morris who
wants place. Mr.. Morris told Mr..
Cleveland joke on Minister Ransom
IN the presence Of the Cabinet officers
and Chauncey Depew which made the
new Minister blush. 1t was about an
old darkey in Northampton county,
who, when he heard that the President
had appointed General Ransom to his
present position, exclaimed:
ode President has made Gin'ral
Ransom a minister! Use glad de
Central got a job, but l questions de
policy w maxim him preacher. In
fac Use afeard he'll scandalize de
church. Use knowed dc Gin'ral
longer'n Mr.. Cleveland has, and |
knows dis is bad 'pintment."
Mr.. Cleveland laughed heartily at
this criticism OF a.s official action.

A FOOLISH LAW.

The bill printed below is found
among the matter disposed of by the
last Leg islature. 1t evidently was in
tended to cover assignments only, but
Is SO poorly constructed that it has
been construed, by some, to mean all
notes and mortgages hereafter made.
Some are inclined to believe that it
was rallroaded or sneaked through by
some irresponsible person. Still others
are inclined to think that some clerk
may have carelessly, or through mis-
take. left out portion of the original
bill, changing the meaning of it. So
far as it refers TO assignments it is
good. Very few people will object to
such law. But it should not include
mortgages, notes or deeds of trust.
The title, q An act to regulate assign
ments and other conveyances of like
NATURE is all right, and it is plain
that the bill was introduced and passed
in good faith and in regular form, that
it was good thing, but badly worded.
Doubtless the Supreme Court will
render decision that will set the
matter right, and this should be done
at once SO that the business of the
country will not be delayed.
The copy of the bill in the Office of
the State Secretary has the endorse
ment of Senators Starbuck, OF Gull
ford, and Moody, of Haywood. 1t is
signed by Lieutenant Governor Dough-
ton and Speaker Walser.
Here IS copy of the bill:
AN ACT TO REGULATE ASSIGNMENTS
AND OTHER CONvEYANCEs OF LIKE
NATURE IN NORTH CAROLINA.
The General assembly Of North Caro-
lima do enact
SECTION l. That all conditional
sales, assignments, mortgages or deeds
ia trust, which are executed to secure
any debt obligation. note or bond which
gives preference 10 any creditor of the
maker, shall be absolutely void as to
existing creditors.
SECTION ,. That all laws in conthct
with this act are hereby repealed.
SECTION ). That this act shall be in
force from and after its ratification.
Ratified this the 18th day of March,
y. D., lS95.-Progressive Farmer.

Germ of Davis, Hill & Co., Washington,
d. {. We got lief, to the tune OF one
months advertising, and confess our
self wiser, if poorer. thereby. But it
was very plausible way in which we
got taken in. They made good out
ward showing, used stationery with a
cut Of their building thereon, with the
firm name engraved above the door,
and presented every appearance of
being business like and responsible
concern. They wrote US enclosing an
advertisement which they wanted
published one month. Nothing was
said about the amount they were
willing to pay-whether our rates
would be satisfactory to them or not.
We wrote them that we did not do
business that way and named our
price. In reply they stated that they
were glad we had written TO them, that
the matter Of charge had been mad
vently overlooked by them. Our rates
were little higher than they were
paying other papers Of like class, they
said, but if we would publish their
card at a stated figure one month
they would agree to continue it three
months at slight reduction, proper
tionately, from the price named by US
for one month. AS we had seen their
advertisement in a number Of our
exchanges in the mean time-some of
them that we know usually steer clear
Of frauds and dead beats-we con-
Cluded Davis, Hill & Co. were
Responsible concern, uOing legitimate
business as the nature of their trade
seemed to indicate, and SO were taken
in oursef as much by the action of
some of our brethren as anything else.
But we will know better hereafter and
be guided solely by our own judgment
and business principles, by which we
have avoided such frauds as the
Haydock Pill Co., Toronto Advertise
ing Agency, and. others, to whose
seductive offers Brother Hunt and
some of the rest of the boys fell easy
