Now that General Fitzhugh Lee has
reiterated and emphasized his former
public announcement to the effect that
if alive he will be candidate for a seat
in the U. S. Senate, it is supposed that
some of the other opponents OF Senator
Martin whose names have been men,
toned in connection with that place
will "fing away am bition' at least for
a time, as with Martin and Lee in the

NORTH CAROLINA POLITICS.

A dispatch from Wilmington says: The
situation here is rather more strained
owing to a rumor that the republicans
will run county ticket despite Govern
or Russell's promise that none shall
be put out. Governor Russell arrived
here last night, and was closeted with
local republican leaders and o. X.
Dockery, republican candidate for Con-
gres5 in this district.
The democratic committee and the
committee of business men yesterday
selected Martin Willard and George
Rountree, as candidates for the lower
house on the democratic ticket in the
stead of Peschau and Kerr, the con.
vention nominees. This was in com.
pliance with an agreement with Gov
ernor Russell that if democrats would
change their legislative nominees he
(RusselD would prevent the running OF
sn opposition ticket. Willard and
Rountree are both prominent demo-
Gratis.
The increased excitement last night
was on account of a rumor that there
would be a republican ticket in the
field despite the Governors promise.
q dispatch from Raleigh says: The
populist executive committee of Edge
combs county, following the example OF
the last populist candidate for COVER

Crops and Weather.

The crop report for the week ending October II, shows that cloudy weather on four days of the week with frequent misting rain, together with abnormally high temperatures on every day of the week. served to further degrade and damage cotton. Following are the amounts of precipitation for the week; Brinkley. O15 inches; Forrest City, trace; Fort Smith, 003; Helena, o.09i Little Rock, 0. s3; Malvern, 0eS; Pine Bluff. 049; Prescott, 2e9; Russellville, 1.b4: Texarkana, 099; Warren, 1.e7. With the exception of Clay county in the northeast section and few locali- ties in the southwest section, the re- ports of serious damage to cotton are general. The injury consists in seed and lint rotting in the boils; seed sprouting and the lint being beaten out on the ground and soiled. Worms are eating the leaves from the cotton, but in its present stage this is not consid- cred detriment to the crop; very little has been picked during the week. In many places the ground is so soft that it will not support the corn stalks, and that which is down is rotting; corn in the shock also is rotting; the fields are so muddy that it is impossible to gather corn. Peas have been injured through rottinR and sprouting. Turnips, sweet and Irish potatoes are doing well in most plaees.

A Nen York CenfrnI Innnrntfnn

George Fl. Daniels, of the New York Gen. tral & Hudson River Railroad, has made an announcement which is of a rather start ling nature, but 1t is one which ought to please the patrons of that great system and particularly those who travel on mileage books. I he circular reads as follows:

 Mileage books will be issued in the name of the head of a family or firm, and will be available for the use of any member of such family or for any traveller for a firm, pro vided the name of such member or traveller is written in the book by the agent selling it, in the place designated. They will be honored for transportation by the conduct ors of all trains, including limited trains, but only to the end of the run of each conductor.
 If the holder of such ticket desires to ride beyond the run of conductor, or on q night train, or to a point on 6 branch line, he should present his mileage ticket to the ticket agent, who will detach the proper mileage and issue a mileage exchange ticket, on which baggage will be checked to any sta tion on the New York Central or any of its branch lines, thus avoiding the necessity of being disturbed after retiring, or of recheck- ing baggage.-From the Pittsburgh Post, August 21 IS98
