The people in the vicinity of Indian
Point, Mt. Desert island, have their curl
osity aroused by the report that an Eng
lish syndicate is to establish there works
for the manufacture OF bleaching com
pound. To lend weight to the rumor
comes the statement that seventy tons OF
ture have already been shipped to Indian
Point. Where SO little reliable informa
tion is obtainable Maine people are apt to
be skepticai. A visitor to the vicinity OF
Indian Point just now hears remarks
which cause him to suggest that the Eng
fish syndicate might save the expense Of
shipping caustic here-it can be obtained
in liberal quantities near at hand.

The laurels which Hall Mccormick,
the Bar Harbor cottager, claimed for
driving a coach and four to the top OF
Green mountain, have faded. 1t was not
an unprecedented feat. E. H. Greedy,
the Ellsworth horseman, drove a four
in hand to the top OF Green mountain
nineteen years ago. The party which he
took to the top was distinguished one,
including Senator Don Cameron and
Mrs. Cameron, Senator Eugene Hale and
Mrs. Hale and Mrs. z. Chandler, Judge
A. P. Wiswell and Mrs. Wiswell. 1t was
party of ten, besides the driver. This
is not the only feat in the way OF driving
performed by Mr.. Greedy. Years ago he
was handling the lines over four horses
on the old stage lines, and has driven over
some roads that would make the crack
''w hips" of Bar Harbor's swell set turn
pale.

The Secretary of State last night come

that if the abstract of votes shows that
Judge Brown received a majority of the
votes east for sudge in the First dis

word "Jr.;;" or in errors in the initials

the Governor in discarding such petty
techniealities is to be highly commended.
1t is also thought that mistakes of the

like that of Judge Brown. Secretary
Thompson stated last night that the cleo

AFTER THE EDITOR?
Three Times Rocks Crashed Through
The Train in One Night

the IRAN in One Night
(Shel0y Aurora.)
Monday afternoon we left Raleigh at
800 on our way to Waynesville. Just
at dark we were standing at the water
cooler in the smoking car as the train
was leaving Burlington, when a pistol
shot or a rock crashed through window
near us, on the opposite side of the car.
4 hole was made half the size of Il
mans hand. A gentleman had a min
ute before the crash been sitting by the
window, and had he remained there,
his life might have paid the penalty
On search no rock or bullet was found.
In half an hour we had changed cars
at Greensboro and again we went into
the smoker. Just as the train was
steaming into the suburbs of High Point
the above incident was repeated. Again
search was made and no bullet or rock
could be found. On reaching Salisbury
we changed cars again and we were
standing in the smoker listening to a
banjoist who was returning from the
circus when the two lamps fell and
smashed. leaving the inmates of the car
in the dark.
The writer rode in three smokers in
two hours time and something happened
to each one. but in neither case was
anyone hurt. although each time the
excitement was intense.

The Tyrolsse Leyer.

In the Tyrol the first time a young
man pays a visit as an avowed lover
he takes with him a bottle Of wine,
and, pouring out glass, presents it
to the object of his affections. If
she accepts it the whole affair is
settled and his proposal Of marriage
(unspoken) has been accepted. Some
times she is not prepared to surren'
der at once, and then she will make
excuses as to wine disagreeing with
>er, or that her priest had forbidden
her to take any, or, in fact any subter-
fuge, that occurs to her at the
moment. The purport Of the excuses
is that the proposal made by the
offer of wine is premature.
Not a word need be spoken, as the
act of Infringing the wine" as it is
called, is synonymous with the act OF
proposing, and the custom dates back
to the Ninth century. If any OF the
wine is spilled it is considered an
unlucky omen, and there is saying
for an unhappy marriage. "Ihey
have spilled the wine between them.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Please allow me space in Your
columns to say few words in regard
to the cotton growers meeting on
the 18th instant, as I was not allowed
to express my views on that day,
although had been asked to do so
bv men from different sections of the
county, I will now attempt to give
them in as few words as possible.
Every man of sense knows that the
credit Of the country is based on bales
Of cotton to be raised. If a man
rents land he gets certain number
of bales. If he hires a cropper he
tries by all means to make him raise
as many as possible. If be hires
wage hands he estimates how many
bales it will take to pay wages and
ration bills and how many be can
have left over. If he goes to borrow
money he is asked at once about how
many bales be expects to make and
if tenant how many bales be pays
for rent. So you see every species OF
agricultural business is based on
cotton. If aman owes no man any
thing he can lay on his oars and let
the world wag as it will, bat if be is
in debt, he has to make an attempt
to pay, and what can he do but raise
cotton in this belt? Talk about rice
How much land will it take to make
enough rice for any family? Besides
we can raise money in no other GER.
tain way but by the sale of cotton.
I will state for the information of the
censor of the meeting that we do not
plant ten acres to tue mule in our
township and besides we raise our own
corn, bacon, molasses, rice, potatoes
&c, at home, but having no market
near enough We try to make just
enough for home consumption.
So far as my not being in sympatl
with the meeting, that is a false &C
cusation. Sympathy is one thing and
common sense judgment is another
Township, County, State and Ma
tional conventions will do very wei
as wind machines but at the same
time the boys will plow on prepar
ing to plant cotton. Cotton at five
cents is bad, but no cotton TO sell a
five cents is worse Every man i:
guaranteed the right to do as b'
p'eases as long as he pleases to dc
right and | submit there is no wrong
in raising cotton at loss, as the loss
falls altogether on him. Ii the pow
e.s that be would get up a scheme
for a man TO raise all the cotton h'
could and was not to expose for sale
