Coa temporary KiU History la the Oaroll aae Th Keynote Straek la One Stat Barrel borates ia tlte Otaar. Mr. A. B. Davidson, of this city, is a director of the Graniteville Manufactur ing Company, of South Carolina. The Graniteville mill is one of the pioneer mills of the South. It was built by a Mr. Gregg, of Edgefield county, South Caro lina, lone before the war. The mill has been uniformly successful ever since it was built, and at toe late meeting, wmcn was attended by Mr. A. B. Davidson. who has been a director for oyer 27 years, the usual semi-annual dividend of 5 per cent, w&s declared. sir. uregg, wno tram uns mui, was, even in the days of slavery, an enthu siast on the subject of the value of manu facturer in the South. In those anti bellum days, although he was a citizen of Edgefield, iu the lower part of the State, was compelled to come to the upper part of the State to find men who fully shared with him his ideas of the profi: to indi viduals and advantage to the State of manufactueres. Mr. A B. Davidson, of this city, and Mr. A. B Spring, a planter of York county, South Carolina, became his associates, with others. Mr. David son has been ia the entire interim a di rector in the company. The Graniteville mill was successful during the war, '60 to '65, and it was eminently successful since the war. Mr. Gregg built even better than he thought. Be founded a mill which in the post-bellum period showed just in what way the redemption of the South lay. Col. D. P. Hammet, of Pied mont, with the example of the Granite ville mill before him, established the Piedmont Manufacturing Company with tcant capital to begin with About the same time, encouraged by the success of the Graniteville company, Mr D. E Converse established the Clifton Mills aud Mr Ellison A Smythe, former ly of Ch&rkstoa, established the Pelzr Mills Contemporary with these events, the Holts, of North Carolina, were develop ing the same line .' f manufacture, which was independently established by the father of the family, Mr. E. M.Holt, abont the same time that Mr. Gregg was working up his company down in South Carolina. I: is exceedingly gratifying to know tba. the Graniteville company continues to ; rosper and to pay its usual dividend at the rate of 10 per cent, per annum It is also gratifying to know that the brach of industry opened up by Mr. E M. ilolt, long before the war, has been successfully developed by his sons, and his sons sons, and that one of the best hopes of North Carolina now lies in fol lowing up the development ef manufac tures on the plans he laid out about half a century ego. Mr. Geo. H. Bayne, of the firm of Carey, Bayne & Smith, New York, is at the Central Hotel. Mr. H. F. Smith, superintendent of the Newton Cotton Mill.lately purchased by Messrs Heath, is in the city. Mr. W. T. Jordan, of the Mountain Island Mills, is at the Central. Everything at the Charlotte Oil and Fertilizer Works is shot down. Mr. Oliver is beautifying the yard in front of the mill by planting it off in walks. shrubs and laying JOHN TODD AHEAD In the Shoot fir the Silver Pitcher What the Gunners Say. John Todd disclaims the fact that he has the handsomest gun in the Gun Club He says Colonel Anthony has that hon or. The Observer thinks as he and "the colonel" tie so often on their-- shots at each other, that this is but another tie, and proposes that they shoot it off The shoots, which occur every Tues day afternoon, attract quite a number of sport-loving folks. Two shoots so far for the silver pitcher are recorded The tore at Tuesday's shoot was as follow : Todd, 45 (out of possible 50); JuBtice 44; Anthony, 43; Andrews, 43; Creswell, 42: Carson, 42; Dodge, 41. Mr. Todd is two birds ahead of the highest man iu the race for the pitcher. The club has received two new mem bers Colonel Nichols, a retired army fiicer, here for some months, and Mr. J. H. Sloan. THE MOUHT HOLLY CHCRCH. Mew Church Officers The Building to be Completed. The Presbyterian church at Mount Holly can truly sing "Through many tri&ls I have come, but grace will lead mo heme." The effort to build a church there, after many perplexities, was final ly carried through, largely by the active work of Mrs. C. L Hutchison, and now larks but little of being completed This, the Observes learns, is 9con to be. An interesting meeting has just closed there, wbich was held by Rev Mr. Fos ter. While there was but one addition to the church, much interest was mani fested. Elders and deacons were elected as follows: Elders, Dr. Eddleman and Mr. Welst; deacons, Messrs Love, John son and Capt. Holland; trustees, Messrs C. E. Hutchison and Love. Texas Cotton Acreage Largely Increased This Tear. Mr J H Barney, the English cotton buyer, jvho has desk room inthscrflce of Messrs. Howell, Orr & Co , and who re turned Tuesday night from Texas, re ports the influx of Germans and Bohe mians into that State as something wonderfal. In many places it is so German-like that you can easily imagine that you are in Germany- These new people are opening np new lands, the majority of which is being planted in cotton. With a fair season. Texas. judging from the increased acreage, which is estimated to be from 20 to 30 per cent, over any previous year, will make 3,000,000 bales this year. , Anglers. A surry containing Messrs. H. H Orr, Will Dixon, E L. Martin and C. A. Moseley, left yesterday afternoon for a fishing expedition.

B Springs & Co., selling fertilizers in Concord for some months, returned to the city yesterday, his work being over. Mr Morris had good luck Buisineas was good.

These gentlemen will remain in the city until to-night when they continue their journey North SEABOARD AIR LINE MEWS. Humors la Connection With Mr. Mon core's Resignation. Conjecture is rampant in Seaboard Air Line circles. The talk in connec tion with the reported resignation of eu oerintendent Moncure, of the Carolina Central, as it drifts this way, is to this effect: If Mr. Moncure resigns, the road will be made into two divisions, tne Car olina Central and Raleigh & Augusta Over the former Mr. John H. Winder, superintendent of the Georgia, Carolina & Northern, will have control; ever the latter, Capt. T. W. Whisnant. The cause of Mr. Myers' resignation as gen eral superintendent was due, it is stated, to the management wanting to cut off 60 hands iu the shops in Ports mouth. Mr. Myers said he could not run the road on less force, and that led to his resigning The Revival Closed Sixteen Baptized The meeting at Tryon Street Bap- tut church, which has been conducted by Rev. Mr. White, of Ashevelle, for the past ten days, closed last night with an immenBe congregation present, the house being packed as it has been for a week past. At the afternoon service sixteen persons were bapt'zed and five received for baptism, making about forty who have joined this church, while a number of the converts of the meeting have con nected themeeives with other churches The general opinion of those who have heard Mr. White is that he is not only a vigorous and original thinker, but has remarkable gifts as an evangelist, his power of illustration and felicity in put ting things being very fine. The people of Charlotte have greatly enjoyed his earnest and interesting presentation of Gospel truth, and he may always be assured of a hearty welcome from this community He Talked Too Much, and Is Mow In Jail. John McDowell, colored, is in trouble, and all because, like the parrot he "talk ed too much." Yesterday he was standing on the street talking to a gang of darkies. Ser geant Baker passed. Before he got out of ear shot, he heard McDowell remark, "dat man will arrest you shore if vou does anything wrong." The officer stopped, walked back and asked the ne gro his name, "John McDowell" was the reply. "Well, come right along; you're the fellow I've been looking for for some time," said the officer. The ne groes looked on aghast, while McDow ell's countenance was a study. Mr. Ba ker turned his prize over to the sheriff The negro was arrested on a capias for a bill of cost. He had been wanted since October. Yesterday's Runaway. Runaways1 are getting to be daily oc currences. Yesterday afternoon a hack belonging to Sam Caldwell, colored, and which was being driven by a small boy, started down the slope on East Trade. The horse became frightened and began kicking. He ran and kicked alternately. During one of his spurts he ran on ta the pavement in front of Mr. J. G. Shan nonhouse's. and fell with bis head almost in the door. Mr. Shannonhouse was standing in the door, and ran inside thinking the horse would run into the store. After it fell it had a kicking spell, which made every one keep a respectful distance until it was over. Came Within One of Being; Senator. An interesting fact in connection with the recent appointment to the senator ship vacated by the death of Senator Vance, and one which, up to this time, had not gotten into any of the papers, is that if Governor Jar vis had declined the appointment Governor Carr would have tendered it to Hon A. Leazar, of Iredell, at present superintendent of the peni itutiary. Will Probably Buy the Wriaton Place. Dr Herron, who is at present living at kit. Holly, haviDg moved several years ago across the river, is thinking of mov ing back to Paw Creek, and is now ne gotiating with Mr Lloyd Wiistonfor his plf.ee Mr. Wriston still lives at Mt Holly.

C, to fnrnish several numbers at a benefit concert to be given soon. The quartette will no doubt accept. Prof. Cranz, of the Seminary, is .pre paring for his final concert early in June. A Picnic In Lower Steel Creek. One of the most pleasant eff airs which has occurred this season In lower Steel Creek, was the picnic Tuesday, by Msj. W. W. Boyce's and Miss Hattie People's Sunday school classes. They belong to Centre church, and are among the brag classes. Maj. Boyce offered his yard for a picnic, and there the frolic took place.

The Proft-reaalve Grocer Falls. Mr H. C. Irwin, like "Humpty Dumn- ty," had a great fall last night. He was standing on a barrel (not for the purpose of making a speech) when he made a misstep and fell. He was right badly hurt about the hip. He said he felt like he had fallen off a roof.
