Mr.. Lee, the hypnotist, gave another

unlimited amusement to the audience.
Tonight the performance will be given

THE CHARGE.
A HOT FIGHT BtFoRe THE COMMITTEE
Major George Hall Doesn't Object to the New
County Provided Those who Want
it viii Furnish Their
Own Dirt.

It's sort of an all-day sucker-the
Scotland county bill.
Already the House Committee on
Counties, Cities and Towns has spent
two whole afternoons hearing it dis
cussed, and the end is not yet.
Monday afternoon, from 3 to $3.50
o'clock, was consumed in the examina-
ton of witnesses on both sides, and an
argument against the bill by Maj. John
d. Shaw.
Yesterday afternoon the same length
of time was spent in like manner, ex-
cept that of course the witnesses and
speakers were different.
This afternoon the hearing will be con-
tinued, and, it is expected, will be con-
cluded. What that conclusion will be
l am unable to say, being neither a
prophet nor son of prophet.
The hearing yesterday was opened
with short speeches. in the way of tes-
timony, by half dozen prominent
farmers in the territory proposed to be
embraced in Scotland county. They
were therefore witnesses for Scotland.
Mr.. Locke d. McKimmon: Il am
a farmer, living in Stewartsville town
ship. The people of my section are
unanimously in favor of the new
county,
Mr.. D. z. Hardin: 81 am farmer.
/ live in Stewartsville. The people
in my section are unanimous in favor
of Scotland
Mr. Robert R. Covington: 'I'm
from Stewartsville township, three miles
from Laurinburg. I'm heartily in favor
of the new county. / have heard of
only one man who is opposed to it,
Mr.. Frank ID. Gibson: II live at
Gibson Station, nine miles from Lau-
rinburg. / have heard but little objec-
ton to the new county"
DIR. Daniel Shaw: II live in Spring
Hill township. / don't believe there are
more than ten or twelve men in the
township opposed to the new county.
For twenty years we have been trying
to get a court house at Laurinburg.
We have worn out vehicles enough go
ing to Rockingham county to build a
new court house at Laurinburg."
Mr. John l.. McCallman: Il have
canvassed nearly half of Richmond and
/ have met only one man who wouldn't
sign petition for Scotland. Some have
signed the petition against it and didn't
know exactly what they We're sign
ing"
This concluded the evidence. Mr..
w. G. Quackenbush, principal of the
Laurinburg school, was the first speaker.
He began by referring to the charge that
it was the people of Lanrinburg who
were agitating this question. He de-
MED this, claiming that the demand
came from the people of the entire
lower end of the county. The evidence
just given. he said, proved that.
'sThe people who have been most ac1
tive in this fight are not men such as
will be benefited by this change OF
county seat. And as for Laurinburg,
what great benefit can come to it from
making it a county seat? Are towns
made of court houses and jails?

HENRY BLoUNrs SUCCESS.
He Charmed a Large and Cultivated
Audience.

To the Editor: Henry Blount gave
of Warrenton last night a large and
cultured audience assembled in the spa
cious auditorium of the Warrenton
academy to hear him. Many of the
teachers that have been attending the
Teachers Institute here this week
We're present.
Chow Chow" is an appropriate name
for Mr.. Bleunt's delightful mixture of
many of the spiciest things in wit
and humor in literature and life and
many of the rarest gems of thought
and feeling.
The speaker took up the harp of life
and struck on all its chords with might
every chord vibrated and his audience
were responsive in. mind and heart.
Laughter holding both his sides was
there to drive away dull care Tragedy
in her sable robes was there to break
open in human hearts the fountains
of feeling. Beauty in her white-robed
splendor dazzled and delighted the eye
of imagination and soofhed the soul as
the gifted and thrilling speaker spoke.
The entertainment was under the
management of the ladies who are rails
ing funds for the erection of monu-
ment to Warren's Confederate dead,
and so the speaker appropriately closed
with a thrilling tribute to the match
less courage of Confederate soldiers and
the undying devotion of Southern
women.

SNEAK THlEVING ACTIVE IN HENDERSON
Thieves Were About to Make Away With
Much Booty When Mr., and Mrs. Fred
Hill Returned to Their

Henderson, y. c., August 25.-(Spe-
cial)-Quite a sad affair occurred near
Townsville, a few days ago. Mr..
Fred Marrow had some trouble with
his washerwoman, who persisted in
bringing the laundry basket in the
front door, contrary to his wife's wishes.
After repeating the offence several
times the washerwoman grew impudent
t ohis wife. Mr.. Morrow, on his re-
turn home, went over to the colored
woman's house and she abused him,
and called him a fool, whereon he slap
ped her. She got a large stick and
was beating him, when he succeeded
in taking the stick from her and beat
her over the head with it. The wo-
man was not considered dangerously
hurt at the time, but died in two days
1t is thought that her death was caused
by injuries inflicted and Mr. Morrow
ran away. Immediately on her death, TO
parts unknown.
Mr. Fred Marrow is the son of Mr..
Drury Marrow, and they are people
of position in the county. He was a
young married man engaged in farm
ing. He has a wife and two small chill
dren. He also has relatives and friends
in Henderson, who deeply regret the
unfortunate affair.
There have been a good many sneak
thieves in Henderson, recently, and
they have broken into the houses OF
both white and colored people.
Last night Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Hill,
en- Turner avenue. went TO call on
friends and when they returned home,
just after ten O'Clock, they found the
back room windows open, money and
other things stolen, though the thieves
had taken flight. Mr.. Hill thought they
ran when they heard him enter, as
things were left scattered and the
windows wide open. Tnere were indi-
cations that there were several enga-
ged in the work They were careful
to use Mrs. Hills keys, which they
found, to unlock trunks and bureau
drawers. They left basket of silver
untouched. No doubt Mr.. Hills return
prevented sheir ftfrthef search. 4 p

Especial. There are about seven hum
dred new tobacco barns in Martin coun-
ty. and this means from three to four
thousand acres in tobacco more than

strong and growing demand for a
home market. Moved by this demand
yesterday large and enthusiastic
body of citizens from the town and
throughout the county assembled III
the court house for the purpose OF
formulating plans, by means of which,
the needed warehouses may be secured.
The meeting was organized by elect.
ing Mr.. Jno. ID. Simpson, of Everetts,
chairman, and Mr.. w. G.. Manning,
secretary. After a number of vigorous
talks came the financial feature. The
stock was divided into shares of $40
each, which were literally subscribed.
Every farmer will have an opportunity
of owning stock in this enterprise. With
more than $1,000 already subscribed
the market is assured. Martin county
has just recently begun to cultivate
tobacco and until recently her people
were ignorant of the wealth hidden in
the golden weed. No section of the
State grows a superior grade of tobac-
co. The growth is large and the color
ideal. Already our farmers who raise
tobacco are n1se ations.

WILLIAMSON is awake to the demands
for market and by next year our
farmers will be selling their tobacco
on home market.
There We're about $4,000 pounds of
tobacco shipped from this place one day
this week, and about the same quantity
shipped from Everett the same day.

STILL MORE CONTEMPLATING

The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeiters and secured
a large quantity of bogus bills, which
are so cleyerly executed that the average
person. would never suspect them of be-
ing spurious. Things of great value are
always selected by counterfeiters for imi-
tation, notably the celebrated Hostetter' S
Stomach Bitters, which has many imi-
tators but no equals for indigestion, ner-
yousness and general debility. The Bit
ters sets things right in the stomach and
when the stomach is in good order it
makes good blood and plenty of it. In
this manner the Bitters get at the seat
of strength and vitality, and restore
yigor to the weak and debilitated. Be
