The two young Steel Creekers who bought the right for the State of Geor- fia in the Walker patent improved giji rush and wiper, haven't any too much cheek, but there is no foolishness about them and they are all business. As soon as they reached their territory they walked right up to the executive gin and slapped one of ' their wipers on it, stepped back a piece and asked His Excellency what he thought of it, arid before he knew what he was doing they had him sitting dpwn writing them a certificate to the excellence or the patent. Gov. Colquite is a granger and a Methodist, and down in Georgia they look to Gordon for their politics but to Colquitt for their agricultute and religion. Railroad Notev. The day train on the " Richmond Danville Railroad arrives twenty min utes later and leaves twenty minutes earlier than heretofore. Engineer Krogg, one of the best and liveliest runners on the Air-Line road, has been unfortunate in one particular since he entered the service. During ten or twelve years of running he has killed nine men, Jim Baswell, who was run over near Easley's, Friday night, being the last And yet Krogg is one of the most careful and reliable engi neers on the road. It is said that the Western North Carolina Railroad schedule will change again about next Monday. , l lie directors ot the JS orth Carolina Railroad held a meeting in Raleigh on Friday, but no business of public im portance was transacted. The Charlotte, Columbia & Auarusta Railroad will hereafter run trains on Washington time, which is used by tlie Richmond & Danville Railroad, and which is about fifteen minutes , faster than that hitherto used on the road.

Virgil E. Moore, a voung white man. 22 or 23 tolr tubeTriitendent of the farm of Mr. Robt H.

Moore had been ill for severtl days, but not seriously so, and there was great surprise among those on ttye! place upon learning r ot r hie auadeai death. The mystery was solved, how ever, when Coroner Alexander held an inquest over the body yesterday, arid Dr. T. J. Moor-who-was summoned to attend, investigat9d the circumstances attending the man's sickness. He had been suffering from chills, and it was in evidence that he had ' been seen to take as medicine a white powder,which was lying on the-table beside his bed. Dr. Moore analyzed this and found it to be strychnine, andthe' mfereribe'is iilear that the deceased had taken an over dose of this and that it was this which hatl, jArpduc.edti bis death. The jury, therefore, found" 'as their verdict that the man had died of an overdose of strychnine, by whom or how adminis tered being unknown. j Mow the man obtained the poison, or who from, are facts which have not yet been ascertained, though there is little or no doubt, as stated, that he had been taking it in order to break the chills, and through ignorance took too large a dose. I Moore's relatives live 1 near Spartan burg, S. C, and have been informed of his death. Kb vlroaed with Danger.
