Among the appointments made by
the directors of the Orr Cotton Mills
we arc pleased to note the name of Mr..

ment to thoroughly competent and
worthy young gentleman, and we con-
gratulate alike the mill and Mr.. Harris
upon the happy selection.
Raln is very much needed every
where in this County, not only to cool
the hot atmosphere, but to revive the
growing crops. Everything is needing
rain. Corn and cotton are both suffer-
ing, and If it does not come soon the
corn crop will be injured badly. The
rainfall i'll this County since the 18th of
April has been very light.

1t has gotten to be quite serious
matter and one that demands some
official attention-there reckless, thought
less manner of handling fire arms in
the city. Especially is this true of
those who know best the real danger
OF such carclessness from repeated dis
charges OF weapons, supposedly un-
loaded. 1t would be very poor joke
if some one should lose his life by such
rattleb brain foolishness.
Monday night an alteration occurred
between Governor Tribble and Miss
Ola Wright, both of the colored per-
sunsiOn, in which the feminine portion
Of the association came into forcible
contact with q brickbat in the region
of the forehead. The point of attack
being six measured feet from the vital
portion OF the body no serious damage
was done. Green-eycd jealousy was
the casus that bellied the trouble, if
we may rely on current, yet too often
erring, testimony. However,, Mayor
Hood has kindly consented to arbitrate
the difference and fix the necessary
forfeit, upon tho convenience of the
second best party mentioned. All ru-
mors will then be set at rest under
judicial investigation and all the facts
be known. Let us possess our souls in
patience and await the sitting of the
Investigating tribunal.
