from the city, and the force is at
work two miles beyond that point.
It is understood that the iron for
this road has been ordered and it is
expected that track laying will be
begun at an early day.'
Grape and Banana Hulls.
The grape hull nuisance is un
abated. There is no ordinance on
the subject, so far as we can ascer
tain. We have been hammering at
this thing for-years past but one
Board of .Aldermen seems to be
about as indifferent as another. We
'have seen a lady slip on a banana
peel and fallAto her knees. It is all
right, though, gentlemen, or it will
be until somebody slips and receives
a serious injury and the city wil
probably have to pay the piper.
Rapidity and Solidity.
Mr. Frank Williams, Paymaster
on the Carolina Central Railroad,
while on his last trip; up the road
took a number of photographic
views of 'the road where it was
so broken by the : recent cloud
burst. No one who has not noted
the ground attentively can at all
understand how serious the disaster
was nor the amount of labor neces
sary to put the road in good order
again. In all there was 1,750 feet to
repair and 1,350 feet of this was
trestle work.' Capt. Whisnant was
on the spot all of the time, day and
night and he has been compliments
ed tyy iuany on the rapidity arid
solidity of the work. . It required
about a weelc to do all of the work
but in one place 200 feet of the
trestle was repaired in 24 hours.
Fire at Maple Hill.
We regret very much to learn of
the destruction by fire of the resi
dence of Mr. Gibson James, -at
Maple Hill, in Pender county, on
Thursday last, onnthe morning of
that day, about 2 or 3 o'clock. Mr.
James was aroused by his wife's
screams and awoke to find the house
in flames. They rushed from the
house with the children and their
calls for aid brought to their assist -ance
a number of tenants on the
place, most of whom are colored.
These latter were just ; returning
from a meeting and they worked
valiantly. It was soon apparent
that it was too late tosave the house
and so all. of the furniture except
tha in he kitchen was saved. But
the house was a total loss. We do
not know that there was any insure
ance. Mr. James estimates, his loss
at $1,200 and will rebuild, as soon as
he can get the lumber. ;
Political Note.
t;. Our esteemed contemporary, Cab
man Jones, informs us that he can
not support our nominee, the .mos
quito, for the dignified office of
national bird. lie says the mos
qui to does not soar high enough.
Indeed, he says that he has lived in
countries where, mosquitoes filled
the air chock full down near the
earth, yet on , going " up fifteen feet
above- the ground he always es
caped them. The Post is not an
organ. It means to be fair to all
parties, and it must say that Cab
man Jones, if his testimony be act
curate, has presented the only real
argument we have heard a gainst the
mosquito. Surely tljis proud nation
will not accept for its bird one that
never flies higher than fifteen feet
from the earth However, before
we foresake the mosquito we mean
to obtain, if possible, the evidence
of somebody who has slept in a sec
ond or third story room withouta
mosquito net lover his (or her) bed.
