Little to Kay aud Plenty to Sell.
The number of country people throng
ing the streets nowadays is almost un
precedented. It is a fact, too, that they
come to do but little buying, in nearly
every instance bringing loads of butter,
chickens and country produce to sell
It has been many years since they have
been po-essed of such a feeling of inde
pendence as they are this fall. hey
hfevfeihad good crops, acd have raised
plenty pt meat and enough chickens to
sell to provide for all their money wants.
So far the weather, too, has favored
them, making it comfortable to wear
bummer clothes and enabling them to
laugh the clothing dealers to scorn. The
tr th of these statements was patent
ye terday when the merchants were
complaining of dull trade, while at the
same time the streets were crowded
with country wagons, and the sidewalks
were thronged with peop'e. It is a good
sign, and a harbinger of the havp time
coming, when oui country friends will
all leave town carrying away cash
bought goods instead of cash-eating
mortgages.

Additional Details of President Bu
ford's Report What is Promised
Charlotte General k ten of the
Inside Workings of the Company.
Below we give fuller and more com
plete details of the report of President
A. S. Buierd, of the Richmond & Dan
ville Railroad at a meeting held in Rich
mond, Wednesday, than that contained
in our telegraphic columns yesterday.
President Buford said that during the
ytar. the r. ad way has been improved by
the addition of 6teel rails, and adds that
the insufficiency of passenger accommo
dations at , Charlotte will receive the
early attention of the management, and
a suitable building provided. The adop
tion of coal in the place of wood fuel on
tha main lines has requiied continued
expenditure in the erection of coal
chutes and side tracks for their conven
ient u-e.
In the motive power department some
additions have been made to the ma
chinery and buildings at Manchester,
sufficient to render the plant at that
point ampiy effe tive in theordinary re
pairs and additions to the company's
equipment. "
Two first-class freight locomotives
built in the company's shops have been
put into service duringthe year, and two
others of the same clans' are under con
struction ""wenty-five cars have been
built to replace others of different clashes
worn out or destroyed during the year,
and eight conductor's cars built and ad
ded to the equipment.
The amou t charged to betterments of
the various branches of the Rihmond &
Danville system, the President re
minds the company, "are permanent
additions and improvements ot the re
spective roads, over and above a full
expenditure for ordinary repairs charg
ed to maintenance in the general, ac
counts." Tlie indebtedness of the company at the
cl. se of the fiscal year, September 30
1883 was as follows: Consul bonds $1,
231,10; general mortgage bonds 3,69V
000; bebenture bonds, $3,969 000; bills
payable Si, 034. 742. 74 the last named
have been reduced by payments about
200. 000; against which indebtedness is
to be credited cash investments held by
the Richmond & Danville Railroad Com
pany, in stocks and bonds of the Rich
mond and West Point Terminal Rail
way, and Warehouse Company, the
Richmond, York River and Chesapeake
Railroad Company the Northwestern
North Carolina Railroad company and
oth rs and acrumulated balances in the
hands of tuntees under traffic contracts
with branch and connecting lines of
roads representing in valuable proper
ties $6 408 018,13.
As already seen, the amounts expend
pended for the year in new property
were: For the Richmond and Danville
Road, S2i6,801.88; in betterments o
the Atlanta and Charlotte Ai' Lme
road 246.139.13; and in betterments of
the Richmond. York River and Chesa
peake road, 4.863.58, making an aggre
gate expended for new property during
the year of j?477.904. 57, or 239.764,7
more than the full interest for one year
on the debentures.
The Jury Couldn't Agree.
We gave an account in the Observ
er a few days ago, of the trial of J no
Twigga, at Rutherford court, for the
murder of Wm. McCall. The murder
was committed in Rutherford county
in the year 1862. Twiggs was tried
and sentenced to be hanged, but tock
an appeal, and in the meantime es
caped to Tennessee,, where he lived in
seclusion' up to within a short time
since, when he was arrested and
brought back to this State. The Mor
ganton Mountaineer received yester
day, givs us the following concern
ing the trial : ' We understand that
on the trial of John Twiggs for the
murder of Wm. McCall in Ruther
ford ton, the jury failed to agree,
eleven being for acquittal and one for
conviction of manslaughter, and a
mistrial was entered. The accused
testified in his own behalt and stated
that he killed McCall in selr defense.
Both the prosecution and the defense
were ably represented by counsel.
There is very little probability of his
being convicte I on the next trial, as
the fact of the length of time since
the commission of the crime and the
fact that he has led a peaceable and
industrious life weighs heavily in his
favor."
Trouble About a Matter ot Salary.
Tlie people of the Poplar Tent neigh
borhood, Cabarrus county, are just now
considerably exercised over the action
of a called meeting of Concord Presby
tery, last week, in depriving them of
their preacher. Rev. Mr. Williamson,
who. the Presbytery evidently feared
would starve to death in Poplar Tent
It seems that they gave their preacher a
ca.hh salary of 600, and besides this,
put the parsonage and a farm of 30 acres
at n is command and it was reasonable
to suppose thrit, if he was any sort of a
fa.i ni- r at all. he could make a couple of
hund r, dd liars from the farm. Some
reports had gone up to tlie regular meet
ing of Presbytery in reference to Poplar
Tent church, and the meeting was called
to investigate the charges that the
church didn't promise enough salary to
its ministers, and failed to pay what it
promised. At this called meeting the
Pret-bytery ordered Mr. Williamson,
the pastor, to 6top preaching to that con
gregation after Christmas; in other
words, i losed the church. The Presby
tery wanted Poplar Tent to join with
Bethpage and have preaching every
other Sunday. The Poplar Tenters want
a preacher all the time, and although
they promised only j?60U, they say they
really give mu' h more, as the minister
has a good parsonage, with thirty acres
of land, all of which he gets rent free.
By having this small farm, as it were,
to fall back on. a minister would find
his salary considerably augmented. The
action of Presbytery in saying tha $600
is too small, and coming down so hard
on the people, has raised such a shower
of indignation and such widespread dis
satisfaction, it is thought that after
Christmas Presbytery will reinstate Mr.
Wiiliameon and let the matter end
The Dtvidson College Kackei.
Edi or observer.
I see in your paperalotfg article from
aMei hodist minister who relates at length
the doings of some Davidson students
on the train at this place. It seems
strange that a sensible man, as the
writer certainly is, should allow him
self to be worked up to such a state
of excitement by a lot of thought-
less college Doy s. tie cuums no personal
insult, but that the boys were singing
some songs &c which were not pleading
to Methodist's eats While I do not try
to jusffy the students for their thought
lessness, still I think that a man of ma
tuie years should hardly notice such a3
occurence, and certainly not go so far
as to publish it in one of -he leading pa
pers in the South. If the gentleman
wanted to prevent such conduct in fu
ture why did h- not simply write to the
Faculty about it and they would with
out doubt used their every means in
their p wer to prevent a repetition of
the annoyance If he really wished to
do aDy good by his remarks he should
have chosen a different cour-e, as it is,
he could have used more effective means
for injuring the college. The gentleman
says that he thinks the management of
the college must be defective Can he
devise a plan which will keep college
students from forgetting their dignity at
times? If so he will accomplish what
many men have tried in vam totio.

EAST CAROLINA DIOCESE.
Dr. Watson Elected Bjotiop Sy a Unan
imous Tote of Both Orders.
The Observek yesterday received a
telegram from Newborns, announcing
that Dr. Alfred Augustin Watson was
elected Bishop of East Carolina, the new
diocese in this btate, by the Episcopal
convention in session at that place. Dr.
Watson's el- ction was unanimous on
the first ballot by both clergy and laity.
The diocese over which Dr. Watson will
have control is composed ot Hertford.
Bertie, Martin, Pitt, Greene, Wayne.
Sampson. Cumberland. Robeson a:cl all
the counties lying between those named
and the Atlantic coast.
Dr Watson, the newly elected Bishop,
is about 65 years old, and is a native of
Brookln, New York. On November
3, 1844, he was ordained deacon by
Bishop Benjamin F. Onderdoiik, and in
3 845 he took pastoral charge of Grace
church, Plymouth, and was the first
rector of that church. On May 21, 1845.
he was ordained priest in St John's
chuich, Fayetteville. He took charge
of Chrii-t's church in Newbernein 1859,
and in 1803 was appointed assistant to
Bishop Atkinson, in St. James' church.
Wilmington. In 1865 he was ordained
rector of St. James church, aud hascon
tinued as such up to the present. Dr.
Watson enlisted as chaplain, in 2nd
Regiment, North Carolina Troops, in
1861, and distinguished himself for his
unselfish devotion to duty. As a
churchman, he stands high throughout
the United States, and is considered
one of the ablest divines in this country.
For pome time past he has been chair
man of the committee on canons to the
general conventions, a post of great im
portance and responsibility. He was
always in favor of the division of the
diocese, and in 1868 made an important
report favoring the division of dioceses.
The elevation of such a man as Dr.
Watson to the Bishopric will give sat
isfaction to the Church in this State. A
better man could not have been selected
to fill the place.

The Federal Court.
Ye-terday was a dull day in the Fed

expected to arrive.

The interests of humanity seem to de
mand the publication of the following
facts: Two months ago my attention
was called to the case of a p r woman
who was said to be afflicted with a car
eer. I found her with an ulcer on her
shoulder at least five inches i circum
teience, angry, painful, and giving the
p tient no rest day or night for six
months. I obtained a supply of Swift's
Specific, which I persuaded her to try.
She has taken five bottles, the result of
which is that the ulcer is entirely healed
up, nothing remaining but a small scab,
not larger than one's finger nail, and
her general health is better than for
five years pt. She seems to be per
fectly cured.
An old man of sixty-seven j ears has
been subject to scrofulous sores for five
years. He had one on his heek as large
as a silver dollar, swollen, raw and con
stantly exuding very off nsive mattt r.
Another on his foot of the same charac
ter, and several on his hands all of
about two and a half years standing.
His general health was- poor, and he
could scarcely get about at all. He has
taken two bottles of Swift's Specific.
The sores are all well, leaving scarcely
a vestige of their former existence, an
his- general health ; better than it has
been in ten.years. X consider its effects
wonderful almost miraculous.

such plea. Acts of 1883, chapter BIO,
construed by Ashe, J.

counterclaim, which is in the nature
of a cross-action, where the plaintiff
relies on payment in fact.

to fb an amendment answer, provi
ded no .natter be set up therein which
will effect o ders previously made in

Morris vs. Gentry :
1. Judgments of a court in a case
properly constituted before it, and
where it has jurisdiction of the par
ties and the subject matter of contro
versy, are deemed to be valid and
will be upheld until impeached by a
direct proceeding for that put-pose.
2. And although such judgments
may afterwards be reversed, the
rights of third persons honestly ac
quired thereunder will be protected;
but otherwise, where such persons
have knowledge of any irregularity
or fraud in procuring their rendition.
3. The law presumes that a party to
an action has notice thereof and of
its nature, but the contrary may be
shown in a proper proceeding for
that purpose.
4. The interests of miners are un
der the care of the court, and to the
end that the same may be protected
in suits brought by or against them,
the court should that the ne.i t
friend or guardian ad litem be ap
pointed under due consideration of
an application in writing, and not
upon a simple suggestion.
5 Demurrer was overruled in ti e
court below with leave to defendant
to answer over, and to plaintiff to

though demurrer was sustained on
appeal, yet no final judgment will be
entered in this case, but it will be re
manded f ji- further proceedings in
the court below under the leave
granted.

1. A judgment tion obstante cere -dicto
is granted in cases where the
plea confesses a cause of action and
the matter relied on in avoidance is
not sufficient.
2. A sheriff's deed made to a pur
chaser of land for taxi s within the
twelve months after the sale, is void

The aesthetic movement in England
has entirely ditd DUt, because well,
because people think there is more good
common sense in taking Dr. Bull's
cough syrup than in carrying a lily.
Good style is good sense, good health,
good energy and good will, but a bottle
of Dr B'lll's cough syrup is a good ben
efaction that suffering humanity has
already learned to appreciate.

Most of our readeis have thought very
littl- of the fact that in the exudation
they see clinging to the sweet gum tree
in the hot summer mon'hs there is a
principle that is considered the most
powerful stimulating expectorant
known They have no doubt thought
less of the tact that in the mullein plant
seen in the old fields is a mucilaginous
substam e that acts as a soothing demul
cent on the inflame I mrfaces of ti e
lungs, and which has attracted the at
tention of the medical world in conse
quence of it-t wonderful effects on con
sumption. When these things are con
sidered it is not surpris ng that "Tay
lor's Cherokee Remedy of Sweet Gum
and Mullein," the great panacea for
coughs, croup, whooping cough and all
bronchial affections, is proving such a
boon to those suffering. For sale by all

Are now in strong demand, because prudent men are now providing such pro
tection against the cold weather
soom sure:
There is no earthly reason why a gentleman, however parth ular about his
clothes, should py Custom Tailor's prices for such a garment as an overcoat,
when those we have are equal in style, finish and fit to anything m ide to or. er.
and the variety to select from is almost bewildering. In this particular stock we
have always maintained a pre-eminence over any house in the State.

The strongest argument in favor of our Clothing is that we cheerfully refund
the money paid if a cusiomer thinks he has chosen unwisely.

purposes we refer them particularly to our
