E3f We rise to remark that the
weather was decidedly warm yesterday.
tSF Even the fruit trees are dying
from the effect of the dry weather and
intense heat of the sun.
C" Mrs. M. C. Tate will build a
residence on the vacant lot at the
corner of Ninth and Tryon streets.
IW People in the city are frequently
startled at night by pistol reports. The
habit is a lawless one and should be
discontinued.
53 At a late hour Saturday night
Christopher Lomax, colored, threw a
rock at William Northey, which struck
him on the ear and disfigured it
badly.
A farmer named Earl, who lives
about two miles from the city, is the
owner of a four-legged chicken. The
story is vouched for by parties who
have seen the fowl.
EIT The woodlawn picnic Saturday
was a splendid success. A genuine old
fashioned picnic dinner, the usual
games, dancing and the enjoyment of
woodland strolls were the chief pas
times. tW Professor Winchell announces
that "the sun is cooling off." Glad to
hear it Charlotte people may take
courage, although the thermometer has
gone into summer quarters for the
balance of the season at about 98.
Hr They do say that "all signs fail
in dry weather," but the weathdrwise
predict rain here in a day or two be
cause the sun set behind a bank of
clouds Sunday evening. Send us more
clouds if they will bring the necessary
amount of moisture to produce rain.
E3T The public school fund for
many of the districts in the county for
the school year of 1880-'81, is exhaust
ed. Teachers taking schools in these
districts will have to wait until after
September, when the sheriff begins the
collection of taxes, for their money.
Joe Ross, one of the principals in
the murder of Bob Hennegan, contin
ues to be a bug-a-boo to colored people
in the country. Dozens of them in dif
ferent portions of the country are ready
to swear that they have seen him, fully
armed, lurking about in their different
neighborhoods after dark.
JSP" The Augusta merchants have
combined against the Charlotte, Colum

Wilful Destruction of a. Churchyard
About 12 o'clock Saturday night a
whole pannel of the new fence which
has just been built around the yard of
the Episcopal church was torn down.
The police quietly investigated the
matter yesterday and traced the deed
to two young men of the city. It is
understood that they represent it as
the act of a wanton, moment and
sprang from no feeling of malice. "They
were- summoned to appear before the
mayor this morning.
Once more Antt-Prohibtion Score
to Victory
The whiskey men scored their first
victory, y esteaday, before the courts.
The case of the city against Elliott &
Remley to recover the penalty of $50
for an alleged violation of the prohi
bition ordinances recently enacted for
bidding the sale of spirituous liquors
"for use a3 a beverage." was called be
fore Justice Hilton at the hour ap
pointed. The right of challenge was
exhausted on both sides before the
jury of six men was finally impan
elled. John T. Schenck was then called
as a witness and testified substantially,
that he purchased whiskey of the de
fendants on the 24th of June ultimo,
without any intention, however, at the
time of the purchase of using it as a
beverage. Here the city rested its
case:
The defense contended" that if
Schenck had no intention at the time
he procured the whiskey of using it as
a beverage that under the principlethat
requires criminal law4 to be strictly
construed, a verdict must be rendered
in their favor. ' ut presuming the
question of fact to be proven, the next
question would bp,Mwere" the prohibi
tion ordinances valfd? They were pass
ed by a number of men' sitting as a
board of aldermen whose official exis
tence had, in reality, expired by virtue
of its limitation, in the preamble of
the ordinances themselves they say
that they are enacted to carry out a sen
timent of trie people as expressed at the
ballot box, a few days before, when the
very result of that election had been
the choice of another set of men to car
ry out the people's wishes. It was their
province to say what those wishes were
and it was not competent for the old
board whose term had expired to come
together and anticipate legislation on
the subject. Other grounds taken were
that the right conferred upon the board
of aldermen by the legislature to grant
and cancel licenses, did not imply a
right to prohibit everybody from
the sale of liquor, but only for certain
men, and these for good and sufficient
cause ; and, also, that the ordinances
could not be made to apply to whole
sale dealers, for the reason that they
were not required to have license, but
simply to pay a privilege tax, the col
lection of which the city might enforce,
but had no power, further, to compel
tnem to stop tneir Dusiness.
These positions were argued ably
and at great length by the counsel on
both sides.
Justice Hilton, in putting the case to
the jury, charged in favor of the city
on the question of law. and, in regard
to the question of fact that is, wheth
er Schenck had purchased the liquor
for use as a beverage, that if they
found that it was his intention to use
it as a beverage at the time he bought
it, they were to find in favor of the
city ; but if not, the defendants were
entitled to their verdict.
The jury retired, and in less than an
hour returned a verdict of acquittal.
The news got abroad about dusk, and
created quite a sensation on the streets.
Anti-prohibitionists were evidently
highly pleased over the result, and it
was remarked that they could be dis
tinguished by the broad smiles in which
a number indulged. "What- will be the
effect of this decision we will not un
dertake to predict.
;
Novel Way to Kill a Snake.
One day last week, Tom El wood, who
is well known in Charlotte, was in town,
and filled up pretty considerably on the
ardent. On his way home, a colored
man driving his wagon, he discovered
a moccasin snake by the road side. He
ordered his driver to stop and got out
to kill the snake. Catching his snake
ship with a strong grasp in his right
hand, 'about amidships, the reptile
showed vigorous fight and bitElwood
three times on the arm. Becoming in
censed at such treatment he asserted
with an oath that he would not be out
done as a bitist, and attempted to get
the snake s head into nis own mouth
with a view of returning the compli
ment In his attempt to do so the
snake again bit him severely on the
cheek, which only rendered him more
furious. He finally succeeded in get
ting a death grip on the snake
with his teeth and actually bit off its
head. Strange to say the snake's bites,
usually considered poisonous, had no
appreciable affect upon El wood, who
now announces that he is a rampant
anti-prohibitionist, because he thinks
the whisky in him at the time probably
saved his life. If he will go back to
first principles we think he will find
good reason for being on the prohibi
tion side, because none but a drunken
man would tackle a snake after that
style.
AntI-Prohiltlot la Berry hill Town
ship. Pursuant to a short notice a portion
of the voters of Berry hill township as
sembled at Collins' Store last Saturday,
the 9th, at 3 p. m,! for the purpose of
declaring against the prohibition bill,
and to organize for the campaign.
The meeting was called to order by
G. W. Sloan, and J. W. Brown was re
quested to act as secretary. A commit
tee consisting of R. R. Ray, David
Weaver, Joseph Cathey, J.Robeson and
W. L. Hoover, was appointed to nomi
nate permanent officers and suggest
resolutions. The committee retired
and ok returning suggested that the
meeting resolve itself into an Anti-Prohibition
club, to be known as the Ber
ryhill Anti-Prohibition club, and sug
gested the names of the following gen
tlemen as officers, viz:
President G. W. Sloan,
1st Vice-President W. A. Freeman,
' 2d Vice-Presidentr-Watson Parks,
Secretary J. W. Brown.
The suggestion was unanimously
adopted. The following resolutions
were also reported and uanimously
adopted:
Resolved, 1st, That we are unquali
fiedly opposed to drunkenness, believ
ing the habit to be sinful in the sight
of God, and degrading in the eyes of
man, but we would rest the evil where
it belongs and punish the parties that
are guilty.
2nd, That we believe this sugar coat
ed measure called prohiDition to De in
its incipiency concocted in the interest
of the few, and for the oppression of
the many, and not tending either to
the moral or religious elevation of the
people, but on the contrary on account
of the inquisitorial interference with
personal rights will tend to provoke
the people to resort to smuggling and
numerous other devices to evade its
unjust operation, so that we honestly
fear the proposed cure will be worse
than the disease.
3rd, That we, as good citizens, feel
that it is a duty we owe ourselves and
our fellow men to oppose this meas
ure. 4th, That as voters in Berryhill town
ship we hereby pledge ourselves indi
vidually and collectively to use all
legitimate means for the defeat of this
insidious measure called prohibition,
and we most cordially invite every
voter regardless of past political affilia
tions to join us and vote with us on the
4th day of August, when we intend to
roll up such majority as will cause those
reckless invaders of personal rights to
quail and show to the world that we
are watchful of the God given heritage
"our personal liberties."
On motion a working committee of
fifteen were appointed, viz: D. Weav
er, J. M. Wilson, Chas. B. Todd, W. L.
Hoover, Joseph Cathey, J. T. Grier, J.
Lee Suggs, D. F. Kelly, Green Potts,

Gone to Richmond
Mr. Willis E. Peeram has crone to
Richmond to reside. Genial, beloved
and popular, in his departure society
loses a favorite and private life a whole
souled friend and companion. He
leaves a void not easily filled. The
friend of everybody, his absence will
be generally regretted, and the sincer
est wish, perhaps, will be, not so much
for his success abroad as that the ties
which bind him to us will prove too
strong to be broken away from, and
will eventually draw him back to his
native place.

Tbe Hopewell Copper in 1 ne.
The Baltimore Sunday News pub
lishes the following item in regard to
this mine. Messrs. Codb and Gorter
called on us yesterday and assured us
that the Baltimore newspaper had
about gotten the facts: "The Hope
well Copper Mining Company of Balti
more, has been recently reorganized,
and on a more solid basis has resumed
work with vigor. A large quantity of
machinery was shipped on Friday last
by Messrs. Thomas C. Basshor & Co.,
the well-known Baltimore machinists,
to Charlotte, North Carolina. This ship
ment completes the necessary machin
ery, and puts the mine in full working
order. Mr. J. M. Cone, the well-known
builder of this city, witn tne superin
tendent, O. G. Gorter, who has so suc
cessfully managed the affairs of the
Harlem Stage company and its work
shoos for three years past, start for the
mines on Sunday evening, 10th inst.,
and will arrive in Charlotte in time to
receive the shipment of machinery.
They will at. once proceed to em,nloy
mechanics and miners, reshafttbe mine
and vigorously pursue the working.
The Hopewell Mine is located 11 miles
northwest of Charlotte and 2 miles
from the States ville Railroad. The ore
is rich in gold and copper and averages
1 ounce gold and 15 per cent, copper to
the ton, an actual result from a recent,
assay by Charles Robinson, Esq., of the
Charlotte Smelting Works. The out
look is very bright for the gentlemen
embarked in this enterprise, and from
all appearances the stockholders will be
fully remunerated for thr outlay of
capitaV"
