The hauling Of horses and mules to

increase. The steamboat Doretta took
several yesterday. among them being
some horses for r.. T. Wilson, Jr., for
his recently purchased estate in Caro-
lima. Mules are going to farmers over
there, and the number indicates that
more attention is probably being given
TO agriculture yearly. The steamboat
men had some difficulty in loading the
mules. They showed outright stubborn
ness in approaching the gangway. It
was one of the times when the co'ored
man was not master Of the mule, for
half dozen worried with one animal for
some time without being able to induce
1t to embark. At last a well-known
steamboat captain got a hickory pole
about ten feet long. and directing the
negroes TO guide" the mule, raised the
pole and began pounding. The wharf
was cleared In an instant.
