MAN DRIVEN FROM TOWN.
G. P. Jockey Is Driven From the
Town of Benson.

Dunn, n. O., July 23.-Yesterday
afternoon a large body Of the best
citizens of Benson waited on G. P.
Jockey, the lawyer who was per-
suaded to leave Wilmington in great
haste in 1898, and gave him ten days
in which to leave the town. This
action OF the part of the good citizens
of the town was caused by repeated
and habitual lewd exposures of his
person.
This is the same Jockey who once
had a barber shop in Wilmington.
Now that he has been escorted out
of Benson, what place will he next

NEW Z
It appears that the increase in
value runs from fourteen dollars per
acre in Goldsboro township to four
cents per acr in New Hope, the in
crease in value on 1881 acres in
Goldsboro township outside the cor
pOration, amounts to about as much
as the entire valuation of Is, $3.50 acres
in Buck Swamp, and $4,000 more
than the entire valuation of 10000
acres in Pikeville, and 81, 900 more
than the entire valuation of 1S,451
acres in Great Swamp, and exceeds
the combined increase in the seven
townships of New Hope, Grantham,
Buck Swamp, Pikevllle, Great
Swamp, Nahunta and InianSprings,
containing 2O8, OGO acres or two
thirds of the acreage of the county.
The increase in eight townships with
100, 900 acres, about three fifths of
the total acreage, is $511, 900, while
the othor four townships with 49,
900 acres, about two ffths the total
acreage, increased only $685. OO.
The eight townships average in
crease per acre is s2.68, while the
average increase in the other four
townships is 36 cents per acre.
The revenue law says, assessors
shall assess all property at its true
value in money. The foregoing fig
ures seem to indicate that the asses
sors in eight townships have follow
ed approximately close to the law,
and the same may be the case in the
otherfour townships, but to one like
myself, not we'll posted geographic
cally in the county nor to the nature
of the soil &C., the lack of parity in
the increase In valuation seems mys-
terious.
Just how the increase on one acre
of farming land in G~oldsboro town
ship is as much as it is on three hun
dred and fifty r. in New Hope, is
difficult to understand, unless the
land in that township is SO poor that
it would have to be MANFRED tC

that my old friend G. S. Wooten

New Hope borders on Goldsbort
township for SEVERAL miles, and i
within two miles of the corporate
limits of this city, has several mile
of railroad and a fourishing station

land in that township in the las

value at the rate of one cent per acre
per annum.

1t now appears that on Tuesday the
Girard National Bank was informed
that the check was a forgery and a
claim was then made on the bank for
restitution. When the board of direct
ors OF the bank met yesterday the mat
ter of the check and the claim of the
warchousing company were considered
and then it was that the facts were
first made public.

lived with his wife and child, that his
eyes troubled him, and that he would

Moloney's descrtion of his wife and
