AN. OLD TIME COUNT V.
1 of sSh ary
was Dissolved and Anson Formed.
SfJ'iYi V- Saunder, Secretary of
btate, in looking over some old council
journals a few days ago, searching for
some facts by request of Gen. R. Bar
nnger, made the discovery that there
was at one time a county called Pee
Dee, covering part of this section of the
btate, embracing what is now Mecklen
burg county. It brings to light an inter
esting bit of the early history of North
Carolina, and we give the letter of Col.
Saunders, bearing upon the subject, in
full. Writing to Gen. Barringer, Col.
Saunders Bays: "In looking over the
council journals for another purpose, I
found a record that will prove of some
interest, viz: "At a council begun in
NewBerne,29th September 1748,Captain
Samuel Davis, Charles Robinson and
Thomas Smith exhibited a petition in
behalf of themselves and sundry other
inhabitants of Pee Dee, which waa read,
being to the following effect: That by
the great distance of that section from
the county court of Bladen, and the
badness of the ways, they were in a
manner excluded from all benefit of
said court; to which by reason of the
bad behavior of many amongst them,
they have frequent occasions of re
course. Wherefore they pray for a di
vision ana to De made a separate coun
ty. When (the now but few) they
doubt not to increase to a . competent
number, lhere was also read a peti
tion, with several names to it, in one
and the same hand writing, as of in
habitants of Pee Dee opposing the
aforesaid petition, in regard of the pau
city and poverty of the inhabitants',
whereupon His Excellency was pleased
to interrogue the presenters of the first
petition (no person appearing to the
other) upon the subject of their petition,
and it appearing to the satisfaction of
his Excellency and the council that the
number of white tithables upon'the Pee
Dee river and near the same, is between
two and three " hundred, and that the
court house of Bladen county (in which
county they have been hitherto inclu
ded) is above one hundre l miles dis
tance from the nearest inhabitants ofPee
Dee, and that at some seasons of the
year the roads between are very bad, if
not impracticable, t or the ease of the
said inhabitants and to promote the set
tlement of said river his Excellency
thought proper, by and with the advice
and consent of the Majesty's council, to
grant the petition for division of the
county of Bladen, and making Pee Dee
and the parts above a separate county,
as aforesaaid, and accordingly it was
ordered that that part of Bladen county
rhich is known by the name of Pee
Deo, together with the parts adjacent
& c- should be erected into a county
separate and distinct from and ind,e
pendent of Bladen county, by tfce nae
of Anson county.
The act of Atsembly creating Anson,
was, yon will .remember, passed in
1749. Allowing one tithable for four
people, the white population of Pee Dee
was between 800 and 1,200. Does the
existence of such a settlement, so far
removed from the settlement east of it,
and known by its own distinctive name,
Pee Dee, for six years prior to the erec
tion of the interesting country into
county (Cumberland) go far toward
provine that its inhabitants came from
the eastern settlements, or does it sug
eest. if it susreests anything, that the
settlers came from some other quarter
A Charlotte Mas Canght br tbe Bank
Fail a re.
Dr. J. W. Byers, of this city, is a
heavy loser in the Mississippi Valley
Bank failure, mentiooea in our tele
graphic columns yesterday morning.
Dr. Byers' family, who reside in Atlan
ta, all lose heavily, but Dr. Byers' indi
vidual loss will be $7,000. He was yes
terday telegraphing for further facts
and particulars in regard to the failure,
and thioks it probable that the bank
will make good a portion of his loss.
Dr. Byers has 'not only attained consid
erable popularity as a physician since
his residence in : Charlotte, but has
proven himself to be a very clever gen
tleman, and we hope that his loss will
not be as heavy a3 anticipated.
Cotton StoleD,
A bale of cotton, packed and readv
for market, was stolen from the place of
Mr. P. G. Johnston, two miles north of
Charlotte, . on Wednesday night last.
lhe cotton belonged to Rev. James
Peoples, an industrious and hard-work
ing colored man, whose house is near
the public highway, on tbe line of the
A., l cc U. Kaaroad. Circumstances go
to show that the cotton was lifted from
the ground and carried some distance
by hand, and then loaded on a wagon
drawn by two horses and a mule. The
thieves were tracked several miles in a
northerly direction, and it is supposed
that they went either to Huntersville,
Davidson College, Harrisburg or Con
cord. It is possible, however, that the
cotton may have been taken to some
country gin to be repacked. The bale
was marKca j. r. on one edge near
the end, and would probably weigh four
nundrea and twenty-hve pounds.
Young Mason Acquitted, but Bechtler
and Simmons Guilty.
Solicitor Osborne has returned from
Shelby, where Cleaveland Superior
court nas been in session for two weeks.
ine court was yesterday engaged in
finishing up the civil docket and will
probably adjourn to-day. A. Bechtler
and J: W. Simmons, who raised the
check on H. D. Lee & Co., bankers, at
Shelby, were found guilty and sen
tenced to ten years each in the peniten
tiary. The young man Mason, who
bears a very good character in Marion,
his home, was fully acquitted. Mason
was the dupe of Bechtler and was in
veigled by him into what seemed to be
a participation in crime, but which in
reality was the result of ignorance and
innocence. He was defended in the
trial by Mr. B. D. Sinclair, of Marion
His acquittal meets with the approval
of all acquainted with the circum
stances.
The Police Court.
Myor Maxwell yesterday morning
fined John Crowell $5 for an affray.
Alet. Phifer, the colored individual
captured bv policeman Blackwelder,
was sent to jail, Mr. D. P. liunter, ot
the Charlotte police force coming up
and identifying the cotton as the same
that had been 6tolen from his farm. Phi
fer had gone to policeman Hunter's farm
a short distance from the city, and filled
two bags with cotton and while passing
the city with the bags on his shoulder
was captured by oincer lilac k welder.
The Inferior court will attend to Phi
fer 's case this week.

The New Baptist Church.
The new Baptist church building in

complete set of elegant stained glass
windows, that have been nttea in ineir

Killed by the Locomotive.
Day before yesterday a colored man
named Jerry Johnston, was knocked
from the railroad track near Chester, by
the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta pas
senger train, and instantly killed. At
the place where the accident occurred,
the narrow guage track runs alongside
that of the C. C. & A. Johnston was
walking on the narrow gauge track and
hearing the train coming up behind
him, he stepped oyer to the Charlotte
Columbia & Augusta track without
once looking back. It was a fatal step
for him. In a moment the engine struck
him and knocked him fully twenty -five
feet into the air, and falling with his
head on a crosstie, his brains were dash
ed in all directious. No blame can be
attached to anyone except the foolish
man himself. It was at this same place.
and in the same manner precisely, that
an old white man was killed by the
train a few months ago.

Improvements on tbe station House.
Through the courtesy of alderman
Robertson, the reporter was yesterday
shown through the new guard house
which has just been completed. lhe
walls of the old house have been used
in the structure of the new, but the in-
terior.ha8 all been re-arranged. An
immense cage, iron bound and unbreak
able, has been built, divided into eight
cells 6x6. Each cell is divided by
heavy timbered partitions and furnished
with wrought iron doors, ihey are
provided with water closets and other
modern appliances for cleanliness, and
are as comfortable as they are strong
and secure. The floors of the corridors
are laid in cement, to allow of thorough
cleaning out. the waier supply being
plentiful. A a door has been made
leading from the prison into the mayor's
court room, and and altogether the
new guard house is a vast improve
ment on the old. It is large and strong
enough to meet all the demands that
may hereafter be made upon it.
Tbe Firms Involved Its Assets and
Liabilities
St. Lour, Nov. 22. Thy iirm of
O. K Bonham & Co. still maintain
that they have not failed, but noth
ing definite concerning their condi
tion or situation of affairs in Vicks
bure can be obtained from them. It
, t a
is learn a airect irom v lCKsuurg,
however, that Jno, T. Halvin, of the
firm of Halvin &Co., who isolso one
of the partners of the firm, had visi
ted St. Louis a few days ago and
foundjthat Bonham 's sim ulations had
involved the house for a very large
amount, and that Geo. M. Klein,
who is the principal partner in the
firms of Bonham & Co. and Halpiit
&Co. and president of the Mississippi
Valley Bank, decided to close his
bank at Vicksburg and place all his
assets in the hands of an assignee.
The property of Klein's and others
will also be disposed of in the same
way. The bank's liabilities are esti
mated at $500,000- but assets are
placed at about the some figures, but
can be realized upon but slowly.
The amounts due preferred creditors
is $37,000. The firm of O. K. Bon

three years ago as wholesale gi ocers

Cyclone aad Railroad Accident
MURPHRECSBORO, ILLS. , Nov. 22.
A cyclone passed over this place yes
terday utterly wrecking the house
of Bailey Carter near here and doing
other damage.
Before daylight yesterday morning
a tree was blown across the track of
the St. Louis Railroad in the suburbs
of Murphreesboro. A man and wo
man witnessed the incident and at
tempted to warn the train back in
from Harrison by waving lanterns
but withont effect. The handsome
coach with 20 passengers pitched over
a trestle and tell 20 feet, landing on its
side. No one was seriously injured
The Scenic Piay.
The large crowd that assembled at the
opera house last night was quite pleas
antly entertained by "The World" com
pany, in which Mr. J. Z. Little appeared
as the star. The play is nothing like
Hamlet, and though the acting was not
of the highest order, it was all quite
good. The redeeming feature of '"The
World" is the soenery, and it alone is
worth going to see. The ship sinking
in the waves, the party at sea
on the raft, the appearance of a
ship in the distance, which tacks about
and comes to the rescue, were about as
realistic representations, we believe, as
is possible to get upon a stage. The
prison and asylum scenes were good,
and the "moonlight on the lake" was a
beautiful panorama. Everything was
given just as it was advertised.
The World is to be presented again
next Monday night, and all should take
advantage of the opportunity to see the
excellent stage scenes.
Fatal Railroad Accident.

Muggelion from a Farmer.
2b the Obviivr
The stock fair at Newton last week
recalls to mind a proposition made by a
farmer of Berryhill Township that he
had proposed to drive his cow over to
Charlotte to let some friend over there
have some idea of the value or intrinsic
worth of his peerless bovine. Could 'nt
some of our farmer friends agree with
Mr. B. , on some day hereafter to be pub
lished and let us have a stock fair in
Charlotte. There are some fine stock in
vhis county and why not all show
out together. Whether Mecklenburg
has a stock fair or not Tom By rum 's cow
i3 a beauty of her kind and will be
heard from again.
