NEARLY ALL the negroes in the State
who went to the polls to-day voted the
so -called "fair election" ticket, neither
knowing nor caring that none of their
own race was invited to the conference
at which the "fair election" humbug
was formulated. It will not be until
the sweet by-and-by that the negroes
will acquire sense enough to distinguish
those who wish them well and would
help them, from those who play them
Tor what they are worth, deceive them,
and still use them as monkeys do cats
to pick chesnuts out of the fire.

ASLEEP FOR MANY YEARs.-A
strange affection has overcome Amos ]
Manning, of Mt. Carmel, Pa, who only
remains awake long enough each day
to eata slight meal. He sleeps over %
hours in every "a. He remains fol
weeks at a time in dreamless sleep
The doctors do not yet know what the
outcome will be.
Manning is 81 years of age. Eleven
years ago he was afflicted with this un.
natural disease. He woul1 go to bed
and remain there for a week at time,
being awake but an hour or SO day
and eating but one meal. Then he
would again recover and resume work.
He seemed to be greatly refreshed by
his long slumber.
The peculiar malady grew upon Man.
ming, and it finally got so that the
sleep spells lasted for three, and even
four weeks. This state of affairs con.
tinued until about a month and a.hali
ago. Then he took to his bed and re.
NAMED there until last evening. Dur
ing that time he was awake but half
an hour each day, or just long enough
to swallow little food, and then he
would sink back into slumber. Man.
ming resides with his mother, who has
bee1 widow for nineteen years. He
has placed himself under the care OF
doctors, but no medicine has helped
him to any great extent.

Poor OLD Mrs. Pollard was brutally
and cruelty murdered, for little
money, months ago, by some negroes
whom she had never harmed, but often
befriended, but, though her murderers
were tried and convicted, the
laws delay has interposed to prevent
their punishment, and they are still
alive, putting the taxpayers of the
State to the expense of supporting
them, aud also of paying large fees to
lawyers. Such delay is not conducive
either to the prevention of such crimes
or to the suppression of lynching.

A REMINDER OF THE WAR.-When
General Banks's army was moving up

one of his caisons mired in Spring Hol-
low at the south end of Main street, in
Woodstock, and the ammunition, con-
ssting of large number of shells and
shrapnel, were thrown out. Some of
the citizens, knowing. the explosive
character of these instruments of death,
had them removed and placed in deep
hole in Elk run on the lot now owned
by Samuel Fellers' family. Elk run
having become dry. as is the case with
nearly all the small streams, the shell
were exposed to the view of some Of
the inquisilive youth of Woodstock,
and on last Sunday quite number OF
them were dug out by the boys. They
should be handled with great care, as
serious accidents have been frequently
caused by the careless disposition of old
shells.-lShenandoah Herald.

THE @. F. AND Y. V. r. Z.

The reorganization committee of the
Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad,
whose headquar' > are in Baltimore,
have prepared >rt which will be
submitted to the .lders.
This report states u. is the ma
ture and deliberate judgment of the
committee that reorganization is only
possible of the road as unit, and that
such reorganization is absolutely essen
tial to preserve the property and the
interests of all the creditors.
The reorganization plan provides for
thu issuance of $500, 900 of Al per cent.
preference bonds, S3,400,000 Of new
general mortgage bonds bearing in
terest for four years at 8 per cent, and
at 4 per cent. thereafter, 81, 70O,00 first
preferred stock, $500, 1000 of second pre-
ferred stock and 100000 of common
stock.
Under the plan proposed the holder
of each ga" bond of 81 900 and coupons
will receive new general mortgage
bonds of $1,000; first preferred stock,
$4OO; common stock, $500; total 81 800.
The holder of "Bn or sc" $1,000
bond and coupons will receive new
general mortgage bond, $3.50; first pre-
tered stock, $500; common stock, 5000;
total 81, $50. The first and second pre-.
ferred and common stock will be vested
in voting trust. Attention is called
to the fact that the reduction of % per
cent. in the principal of the ''B" and
&c" bonds has been provided for by an
allotment to these bonds of an equivs-
lent in an additional amount of prefer
red stock and that, should the road earn
so much in the future as the present
interest charges on its outstanding first
mortgage bonds, substantial dividend
could be paid on the preferred stock.
