C, August 9, 1890. Wanted the Commissioners to Fence the Low-Grounds. Rather a remarkable ques tion came before the county commissioners at their meeting last Monday. We are inform ed that the following gentlemen brought a petition before the board : Rev. A. N. Campbell, 0. J. Spears and J. A. Green. Th netitioners ask the com missioners to place -a fence along the Cape ear river, a distance of two miles, in order that thfi low-rrrounds of the above named parties, together with others, might be protected -against stock running upon it, at the expense of the county. This proposition to tax the Dfirmle for the benefit of the nrivntp intorpsts of a few in dividuals is monstrous and -without precedent. If our Com missioners had ordered any such thing1 as these gen- tlpmfin asked for. they would - 9 V at once have been enjoined by legal proceedings. What will come next? There are some men who seem to look upon the people as the simple slaves of their will to be taxed when ever the private interests of a selected few may recpuire it We are being taxed now to pay bonds sold at a discount when if properly managed tney wouict hftvfl brought a Dremium. The o - npnnlft want to call a halt in J ' " this system of oppressive tax ation. It is needless to say that not one of our worthy Board favored the fence.

River Junction, Fla., August 4. the most disastrous cyclone that ever visited this section of Florida completely annihilated Carrabelle, Mclntyre and La nark Ian, south ot here Wed nesday! , - At Carrabelle only nine louses remain of a once beauti ful and prosperous town, com munications from the mayor state that 200 families are with out homes or shelter and many are completely destitute. Of Mclntyre, only two mm boilers mark the site or me town. Lanark Inn, the famous bum- mer resort, was blown into me Gulf. The Carrabelle, Tallahassee and Georgia Railroad is. washed away for a distance of thirty mile's.-' A passenger train was blown from the track more than one hundred yards. Many pas sengers were injured, but their names are unootainaoie. No fatalities are reported from Mclntyre and Lanark. Fifteen ships, lying at anchor in Dog Island Cove and Upper Anchorage, are now all high and dry on St, George's and Dog Islands. Twelve were loaded with lumber and ready for sea. Nothing remains of them but a mass of wreckage. When the Italian barque Cor teria struck, she split half in two from stem to stern. Three pilot boats and steam ers Iola and Capitola, and for ty boats under twenty tons were lost. Six lumber lighters, load ed, are gone. Not one of the entire fleet can be saved. . Five unidentified bodies were recovered to day supposed to be sailors. Tugboats have gone from here to the scene of the wreck age ; all possible aid being giv en. Fifty destitute sailors were brought here to-day and are be ing cared for. A mass meeting of -citizens is being held here to night and all possible . aid will be given the Carrabelle desti tute. One million dollars will not cover the loss. The insur ance is small. We had the pleasure, a day or two ago, of hearing the fine flute, trombone and piano playing-of Mr. Will P.

Mr. Harrell also showed us a very interesting naval relic of the late war with Spain. This was a copper shell, that carried a one pound steel-pointed dyna mite ball, that had been "fired at the enemy, at Santiago, July 3rd, 1898, from the U. S. Cruiser Brooklyn, the Flagship of Admiral Schley." It came into the possession of Mr. Har rell through a friend, who had n. sail or acquaintance on board the ship, who was in the terri ble engagement oft bantiago. These shells were secured by him, as souvenirs for friends on shore ; and one of the shells, containing the ball, was truly a ormidable looking missile. were their them lilt Sill (Co-Education.)

Harnett county needs a bet ter system of mail routes. The government spends quite enough -to have a good system of mai routes, yet they are very defi cient, for instance it takes as long for a letter to go from Bradley's Store to the county site as it would from New York and the distance only G or 8 miles. There might be great improvements in many other places. Let the people, who are interested in this route, go to work and remedy this. We need a direct line from Holly Springs to Angier and from An gier to Lillington via, Bradley's Store, back by Winslow to An gier. Other offices should be supplied from other points and save expense to the government and the people will be more benefited. Cape Fear Enter prise. The Union agrees with the Enterprise, we do need a better system, and need it bad. If the people along these lines will get up a petition and make out the route just as they want it, we will take pleasure in aiding them in anyway we can to se cure it.

It has for years been the leading cotton market in this part of the state, market ing more than 8000 bales here last season. The News aud Observer in speaking of our tobacco and cotton market says : "Seventy-five thousand nojinds of tobacco sold m one day on the floor of the tobacco warehouses of Dunn at its first opening sale, is an event oi no little imDortance. Nearlv five - . m thousand dollars was paid for tobacco tor the hrst sale in a virgin tobacco section. Dfunn has been a jzood cotton market since it was established.

He had been in feeble health for a few days, but his friends had no idea . that the end was so near. Verily "in the midst of life we are in death." The death of Capt. Ray is a public calamity. His place will bQ hard to fill. He was a brave Confederate soldier, and lost his left leg at the battle of Gettys burg. He was a lawyer of ability, and had a very large practice. As a citizen he wore the white flower of blameless life. As a christian he was faithful and constant to his vows. The people of Harnett join with the people of Cumberland in the deepest grief over the loss of this princely man. Peace to his noble ashes. NOTICE ! SALE OF TOWN LOTS. On Thursday.
