Attacked on tbe Streets at Night Wai
Highway Robbery Intended! :.
Night before last about 9.30 o'clock
Mr. C. W. Eddins, clerk in the post
office, started from the square to the
residence of Mr. W. W Pegram, just on
the corporate limits on south Tryon
street. When in front of Mr. Jas. H.
Carson's he was overtaken by a negro
man who came up near him and looked
him in the face. Mr. Eddins stepped to
one side and demanded what the negro
meant. He gave some answer which
could not clearly be made out and
walked sullenly away. Mr. Eddins
drew a mall . pen, knifethe only
weapon he had-r-and then walked on,
keeping a sharp lookout in the direct
tion the negro had taken. About , fifty
paces beyond the point where he was
first attacked, he was suddenly con
fronted by another, man, whom he also
discovered to be a negro. Before he
had time to anticipate an attack from
this individual, the man seized him,
pinioning his arms to Ms side. Mr.
Eddins retained the use of his arins
from tne eiDows aown, ana in me
struggle which ensued he plunged his

Having thus gotten nd of his assaiK

the track told him that he (the negro)
was cut, at the same time saying that
he had gotten old of the wrong man;

Xlobbetr Grocery Store, "-j
Messrs. Green Long and William
Garrison sleep in a room immediately
over Long & Bros, grocery store on
College streets Between tt 10 and 11
o'clock night before last, they heard
the bell of the patent cash till ring, and
knew by the sound, that there must be
thieves in the store, i Mr. Long came
downvthe stairs 'into the street and
cautiously unlocked the front door. As
he entered, he heard retreating foot
steps in, the rear of the room, and the
next moment a noise very much like a
man falling down stairs. As soon as a
light was procured he discovered that
the. back door had 'been prized open,
and that the stairway leading to the
Sound aaf strewn with plugs of
bacco. Nothing else besides the
tobacco was missing, and it is likely
that this was all the thief got, except
perhaps a box of cigars. This is the
third store on College street that has
been robbed within the last two weeks.
Officers are working up. the case.

The Status of Fair Aiuvociation mat
ters. '
At a meeting of the Carolina Fair
Association in February last, the execu
tive committee were instructed to con
fer with the stockholders in the old
Fair Association.the present owners of
the fair grounds, with reference to the
rental of the property for holdine a fair
ucai xoii, aiju weic ciupuweieu. lu uitvKe
a contract,. withthe-nnderstanding that
the asseciation eonsidered $300 as suffi
cent rental for the errounds. The exec
utive committee accordingly had a con
ference with the owners and offered
them $300, This they declined to take,
fixing the rent at $500. The committee
then made a final proposition to give
$400, which the owners also declined to
take, and so the matter stands, and is
likely to stand, so far as we are able to
learn, till next fall. The committee,
representing the association, say they
have reached thir ljtuattim, and if
wiey can t get, me grounds at a reasona
ble price the association can't afford to
have a fair, lt is by no means a wealthy
corporation is in fact just able to stand
alone, and it can't bear a heavy load in
the way of rents.
The prospect, is rather gloomy just
now ; what s goipgo Vfdone about it ?

Messrs. Scribner & Co., In 1873, began the publi

highest position. It has a monthly circulation of
OTKB 50,000 COPIES.
Itv is published simultaneously in London and
New York, and the transatlantic recognition is al
most as general and hearty as the American. Al
though the progress of the magazine has been a
steady advance, it has not reached its editor's ideas
of best because her ideal continually outruns It.
