"Her eyes dey vos Iluniuel blue," you say as you look at a new blue ground, unlike anythiiiK elae yet seen. The cultivated blossom of the gay parterre, and the wild flower of field and wood are all levied upon for the patterns while life invcii- - tion of the artists shows much originality in flguresand colors, ltlack grounds with white . figures, white grounds with black liuures, gray grounds with many figure, dahlia grounds with purple figures. Surely the most fastidious need not desiair.

It Is only live cent "a cakee" and you can carry it about in your itocket like a piece of tobtcco and take a nibble whenever the spirit moves you. Now that the railroad has pene trated Stanly County, many Char lotte people will take the long desir ed trip to the narrows and falls of the Yadkin, two of the most wonderful works of nature in the whole coun try. One Charlotte party will make the trip the first week In" May. A M A N. A man told us the other dsv that his cotton was coming up so fast that he could hoar the earth cracking all around as the seed sprouted, and a man not acquainted with that music would think the demons were pur suing him, and hustle. Now we can't vouch for this statement, but you can hear the cotton cord pop ping as we continue wrapping the many packages that pus from us every day, and from the wav our Grenadines are sidling we will tie the farewell knot over the last yard this week. Nothing common or dingy about (hem ; in waifer spots, croscuts, dots, solid twist, fancy and plain. We can suit yon fancy.

The Commissioners stated venter day afternoon that they found upon examining the railroad tariff tables of the State that North Carolina has suffered no serious harm from exor bitant freight rates and that the rates wun a tew exceptions are lor than those of the State of Georgia where a Kailroad Commission has been m existence for twelve years. In those classes winch are higher the Com mission oas ordered that thv h Placed at the same as the (ieorirla I SkOB, un regard to passenger fare th Commission has decided to plate the rate ou all roads in North Carolina at three and a quarter (.Sl. ) cen's per i i . i .

There is no second-class fare in use In Georgia, the ruie mere oeiog cents for all pas senger transportation. The Commission has decided tl,i the changed turiff on freight shall go iuwj eiici on june bu next, and that the new passenger rates shall go i.w em ri on june nrst next. Noti- ncation to this etlect will be mh out to the railroads and blanks will acompany them upon which they may make known aii v objections thev may desire, which shall 1m nt in t,. the commission on r before May 20, and all such objections w ill be con sidered by the commission, and after consideration an J rates will be per mauontiy settled for all roads in the Mate, to take effeot on the dates mentioned. A longer time is fixed for the consideration of object ions to me rreigni rates than to passenger, aud the cointiiisDion will he glad t hear any objections. The w ltrlnmnt ItulMing.

II Got the Mink, but it Cost Hint a Finger George McCall who farms about six miles east of the city w as in town to-dayjwilh a mink which he caught In a steel trap, last night. George also had one linger less than he had yesterday. In attempting to opeu the jaw s of the trap to take out the Imprisoned mink, his grip slipped and the little finger of his left hand was caught between the teeth of tin trap. The finger was nipped off near the second joint as neatlv as a surgeon could have done it. George tarred the lacerated end and w rap ped a rag around it He didn't seem to think the loss of the finger a mat ter worth talking about at all. ItUhnp Callonajr n OH).

ItOBBBMS IN A 1'OSTOmCK, The Safe Bored Into and the Cash and IiegUterd Letters Htolen. Cash and stamps were very scarce commodities in the United States poetoftlcc in the town of Newton this morning. Robbers were at work there last night and they cleaned out the shop in a thorough manner. When the postmaster opened the office this morning he found the safe door standing open. Letters and pa pers were scattered around, bat, the safe was painfully empty of valna ables. An investigation showed that the safe had been robbed of $125 in cash, besides a lot of registered pack ages, whose value lias not been as certained, and a pretty liberal sup ply of stamps. The robbers bored luto the door of tho safe and knocked out the lock. There is no clue of the deed, but Is thousrht to have been the work o fprofessionals. The Richmond anil Danville I tail road. Kiernau's News Agency is Inform ed by President Joliu H. Ininan of the Richmond terminal, that no suc cessor to W. t .Oakman as vice pres ident of the Danville road has yet been thought of. Mr. Ininan ex presses himself as greatlv pleased with the traflic condiiious in the south and with the outlook for srwi- eral business. The gross eir.i intra of the Danville reported vesterdav show very handsome increa-es for the first two weeks In April, and the net earnings areeveu proportionate ly larger. The policy of the manage ment will lie to cut down expenses as far as practicable, and s secure as large a net revenue as possible. Traffic matters are in first class shape, and harmony prevails between all ol the various Southern systems. The lease of the Georgia Central will brine about (i. 200 miles of railroad under one di rect management that of the Rich nionil and Danville. One important remilt of the new deal will be to make practicable a large reduction in expenses hitherto paid out in sal aries to a numVr of traffic agents and other employes, and will also simplify working details.

Policeman Blncbwelder and a ne gro had a dink'iilty at the Irade street station of the Richmond and Danville railroad today, and the in cident is significant as an ontcrop- ing of the feeling which prevades a certain element of the negro popu lation. The negro, one of the ludi-li kind, was blocking up the eutrauce to the ladies waiting room and was politely asked by the officer to either go inside and take a seat, or stand outside. He replied in a very inso lent manner, struck at the officer and tried to grasp his billy. Failing iu this, he jumped to the street and picked up a rock, but as he drew back t t1 row it, the officer's pistol covered him. He was brought to town and locked up. Chmnge if schedule. A change in the schedule of the northbound vestibule train on the Richmond A- Danville road will g into effect tomorrow night. The ves tibule now leaves here for Washing ton at 7:0VS p. 411.
