He has adopted this means of de stroying flies and insects in his garden, and never fails to have a pan full of in sects on each morning.

Bingham, of Salisbury, are reported in the Raleigh News & Observer, as receiv ing distinct ious-at the closing exercises of St. Mary's ScooJ. .They are mentioned on the! roll of Honor average over 95 per cent and again as taking first distinc tion in instrumental music, in addition to which, that paper pays them the follow ing! compliment: Miss Jennie Bingham then read . her essay on "Ireland and the Irish," in which she evidently sided with Mr. Gladstone. This young lady,; the One graduate of '86, carries off many honors. She finished the full course in French a year ago; and her part in the French play on Monday evening evidenced her famil iarity with the language. Her exquisite rendering of tbe Mendelssohn capriccio Wednesday evening, and her inimitable description of "Darius Green; and his flying machine" showed the versatility of her talents; while her standing in the several studies as-given in the roll of honor is a noble one. Miss Annie Blackmer, who also leaves school with a fine record, ranks with Miss Bingham in French, music and elo cution. In the French play, 4?Le Cid," she filled tbe title role; and in the ' Prin cess'' she enacted admirably tle part of Musical Concerts. The closing concerts of Prof, and Mrs. Neave's music school will take place on .Tuesday and Wednesday: nights of next week. The programme for the first even ing contains nineteen selections, and makes very attractive list. On the second niirht. the first, or introductory w pi ; piece will be an orchestral selection: "Sounds of Spring'? after which follows an operetta, "Roshorri" of "The Sleep- ing Beauty" a German fairy tale, in two acts. The lovers of music are looking forward with an t ici pa t ion of great pleas ure in listening to these concerts. The concerts given by Mrs. and Miss Rumple's music pupils, will take place on Friday the 2pth and Monday the 28th of June, at the manse. The concerts wll doubt 1 ess surpass iny concerts given there recently. This) is saying a great deal , but with Miss Rumple's accomplish ments added to Mrs. Rumple's long ex perience there as no reason why they should not be better than usual. Jailed for Supposed Murder. A few days ago. a trial Justice, in Mor gan township, had a negro by the name of Jacob Parker before him on a charge of murder. It seems that last fall Parker got mad at his wife While they were at tending a corn shucking, and kicked her severely on each side (of the abdomen, so that swelling resulted and she became almost an invalid, ii is said that he has been giving his wife, who died on the 3rd inst . . a peculiar poison, said to have been made from snake's heads,' which are cut off for the purpose. These are then beat into a powder and given occasional ly in whisky. He is now in jail and will have a hearing at the next term of Row an court. '. He seems to be something of a Blue beard, having had a former wife die un der circumstances not entirely free from suspicion. Cruelty to Animals. The magistrates of a county, the au thority which protects society from all kinds of evil doers, should be men of in tegrity, fair minded and humane. They are not all so in iiowan, tnougn, as a rule, they are as good men as can be found in any county. Look at this pic ture! One of the magistrates returning home from the meeting on the first of this month, was in a state of intoxication about the only, man seen in that condi tion here for some time. He was driv ing a mare, which was followed by a Colt. He was accompanied by a fellow magistrate, who did the -driving. Some M x ! a a six miles irom town me mare nait ed in the road and balked. She had not been fed that day, and had been dri ven 15 or 18 miles. The intoxicated man gOt out his pocket knife to cut a switch tp force the animal, but instead stuck the animal near the root of the tail in flicting a wound several inches in length. He then got. astride the poor animal and dealt her two blows with the knife, the first striking a rib and the second cutting into the hollow of the animal. This last wound was several inches in length, and the air Was inhaled and exhaled through i Vin the respiration of the ani mal. In this condition he drove some four miles further; and put up for the night. It happened, to be at the residence of another J. P., who on learning the facts, arrested the two magistrates, and bound them over to the next term of Rowan court in a bond of $100 each. There, you have jthe horrible, brutal story 'as it Was given the reporter by the magistrate who issued the warrant for their arrest. Confederate Veterans to Organize. A conference With Maj. Stansill and other prominent Confederate soldiers in this count v has resulted in a call for all of the old Confederate soldiers now resi dent in the county to meet in the court house, in the town of Salisbury, on the 15th dav of Julv. The purposes of the organization are' manifold. The Co u fed erate soldiers of the State, and of the South generally have organized, and very naturally they should. They can do much toward correcting the history of the war, which has been sadly neglected from the Southern point. One of the good things likely to grow out of the or ganization of the Rowan soldiers Will be to encourage perhaps organize a monu mental association, with the view of erect i nu a monument to Rowan's noble dead. There were many who deserve the honor, but there was one in particu lar who was conspicuous for his courage and for his crenerosity to the cause. The - j f people of Rowan, and other counties ad joining, will not forget the gallant Col. Chas. Fisher, and they will be glad of an opportunity to contribute to a monu ment to be erected to his memory. He not only uniformed and equipped his regiment, (the 6th N.?C.,) consisting of ten companiesabout 1000 men at his own expense, but gave his life for the cause. A monument of Dunn's Mountain granite would be suitable. One face should be inscribed to Col. Fisher, anoth er to the more than a thousand men from Rowan, who rest unsung, neath the sod of distant battle fields. - aw Enochville Items. Mr. John Ritchie of Atwell Township, died of consumption on the 12th inst. and was buried on j Sunday at Lutheran Chapel. He was a truly good man. He leaves a wife an seven children to mourn their loss. Mr. A. Yost is eating green corn and many of us have ripe peaches and apples in abundance. This place can boast some fine fruit. The farmers have at last gotten their crops out of thje grass. Wheat is being harvested, though it is not as good as Was expected, )Bverybody is busy. W. Those who attended the Lutheran church last Sunday listened to a fern, an of unusual force and brilliancy, preached by Rev. C. B Miller, of Rowan county. Mr. Miller is young in years, but is an excellent preacher. rCkar. Obtertei. MINING DEPARTMENT. T. K. BRttXKR, KDtTOR. Mining Outlook. Just now there is but little of interest in the mining (E&grietit of the State. There area number of prospec pectors abroad, but they are slow in re- porting resultsThere is no ammunition in the normal operations of the active minesthe work is generally progressing satisfactorily, yet devoid of incident. The producing mines are keeping up their records to the average. i Yancy County, t - At Paint Gap, in Yancy county . mining operations, for gold, have been commen ced by two gentlemen of experience. They have gone to work in an entirely new territory, but have done so after a deliberate survey of the ground. Their progrees will be watched With interest. Goid Hill. It is the intention of the present man agement of the Gold Hill mines to sink the main, Randolph, shaft several hun di ed feet deeper in order to prove the ground at greater depth. It will be re membered that this shaft is now 750 feet deep, and it is probable that it will reach a thousand feet under the direction of this management. The company organ ized for this work will not rest until a thorough knowledge of the situation is had. The company is composed of Lon don and Swansea (Wales) gentlemen, the latter being interested in the famous Swansea reduction works. Mike Holtshouser Mine. At the Holtshouser mine, in this coun ty. Superintendent Tiernau, has erected a hoist, and is preparing to set up other machinery. It is reported that the ma chinery once used at the now idle Bullion mine has been purchased and will be set up at the Holtshouser. The machinery consists of a ten stamp mill, pump &c, and some of the buildings. The work now being done at the Holtshouser is in the main shaft. It had to be enlarged to; twice its former proportions it was originally a prospecting shaft. It is now going down as rapidly as possible, and; is full size. The property contains 64i acres, lying adjacent to the Gold Knob mines. There a number of veins of auriferous matter on tne place varying in size from 6 inches to 4 feet. Some fine placer gold has been found on Kluttz's branch, which runs through iho pro perty. The McMackin Mine. The McMackin mine lies just over the Rowan border in Cabarrus county, and belongs to the Gold Hill group. Work is now going on in there under the super intendence of Mr. Townsand, of Penn. He has put up a whim, and is sinking the old work shaft, which was sunk some 40 years ago. When the shaft was first sunk some of the ore taken from it was worked at the Gold Hill mill and yielded from 75 cents to one dollar a bushel. The shaft has been cleared and they have struck the vein where former work wras abandoned. There are 256 acres in the property, which is supposed to have all the veins of the Gold Hill and Union mines on it, as it lies on the southeastern extension of those veins. The present work isbeing prosecuted on the extreme western portion of the property. No work has as yet been done on the other gold, silver and copper veins. It is re ported that Mr. Townsend has bought Geo. Counter's interest in the Mike Isen- hour place, and that he has also bought the machinery formerly used at that mine, and that it will be taken to the McMackin at an early day. For tne watctnpan. From the Banner Township, j Messrs. Editors: At present we pro pose to confine our remarks mainly to some matters and things relating to Franklin township. Owing to the late Spring and heavy rams, our people have had a hara strag gle to get their farms and crops in good condition. At present, however, the crops are generally clean, and corn, cot ton and tobacco are growing finely, and if there are no more adverse seasons, a fine crop may be looked for. As a general thing the wheat crop is very inferior, though now and tnen you find a field which was properly put in and well fertilized, that will make a good vield. . The oat crop is unusually fine the best I think I ever saw as the season has been just right for it. We have quite number of grain drills, and a large pro portion of our wheat and oat crops were put in with them. With us, clover, is becoming quite an item. You will hardly find a farm where there is not more or less grown. 1 have seen one farm on which there cannot be less than fifty acres heavily clovered, and I suppose the yield of the first crop must have been from forty to fifty tons and probably much more. v. The grape interest is also becoming a large item, and in traveling around, you will see many embryo vineyards of from one to five hundred vines, Whilst there are several persons having from one to two or three thousand. Notably amongst our grape growers may be mentioned Messrs. John Fisher. A. M. Cruse, all three of the Thomason ReeVes, A. L. Hall, W. brothers, Mrs. R. Fraley and others. Market gardening is also becoming quite an item, and on two different farms, I have seen on each, what I supposed to be ohe acre in onions alone, whilst others have large areas in cabbage from which they are now selling hard heads. Without a doubt, there are more fine fruits grown here, (especially early peach es,) than in any other township, and no tably amongst our fruit growers are the Thomason brothers, H. C. Bost, J. A. Hudson, T. P. Thomason. W. R. Fraley and others. This year the peach trees have a heavy crop, and large profits were anticipated from that source, but the late heavy rains and cool, cloudy weather have caused them to rot, and at this date the prospect is that we will have none for market unless there is a change in the weather to arrest their rotting. The apple crop is abundant. For some time past, the prices of tobac co have ruled so low that our farmers have become discouraged, and the acre- age planted is much lean than in former years, but having less to cultivate, they will probably try to make a better grade, and get better prices and more money in the end. It has sometimes been mooted as to tne number of tobacco barns we nave in Franklin. A short time since, a very re liable gentleman told me, that he had in vestigated the matter, and after a careful count he estimated the aggregate num ber, at about 150, many of which are ar ranged Tor curing by the flue system. The business of fish culture has as sumed considerable proportions with us, as we have quite a number of private ponds, in which the German Carp are raised. Some' have recently gone into the business, whilst othere notably WV R. Fraley, Esq., and J. A. Kluttz, each have two ponds, the former has been in the business for fifteen and die latter about four years, and they both have in their ponds, large numbers of carp rang ing from four years old, and twelve pounds in weight, to thousands of young fry just hatched. So for as we can learn, the people of our township are fully satisfied with the action of the magistrates in re-electing the old board of County Commissioners, though we have no doubt some persons in other portions of the county were per sonally disappointed. When you see a person drive rapidly into town, and run around to shake hands with every voter and make himself generally familiar, and say to every one e meets, ''we intend to make a chair man out of yon to-day," and again, whilst the meeting is in session, when you see an individual "popping up and throwing bomb 'shells, offering resolu tions, making motions, offering amend ments and generally retarding the pro gress of the business of the convention, making themselves conspicuous, you may set it down as a "maxim of eternal truth," that (hat individual has an "axe to grind," and is aiming at more than he has the courage to avow, which don't count worth a cent. By thy way. Col. Sumner, as mouth piece of the Board of Commissioners, re commended the levying of 65 cents tax on the hundred dollars worth of proper ty. Doubtless this recommendation was made after a careful and minute calcula tion was made of the needs of the coun ty. This was to cover all expenses, run the schools, etc., and yet it met with some opposition. Is any of our sister townships cursed with a country grog shop? that greatest and most damning of curses to be fast ened on any community ! Such a place is always the centre of attraction, the rendezvous of the idle, the low and the vicious. All the disturbances of a com munity generally originate at such places, and yet there are men of small enough souls, and so devoid of pride, as to pre side over such pestiferous establishments. There is one such in Franklin township, which all good citizens desire to see abated. More anon. The Man About the Country. June 14th, 1886. Convicts Strike.

Pension Money in the Town Treasury. The colossal fraud of the age, which rewards tbe patriotism of foreigners and depletes the treasury of our national government pension grabs is most hap pily illustrated in this beautiful and Wf H behaved town. There, resides in the worse part of the town an Irishman, by the name of Moike Garey, who knowl edge of english is so scant as to make ii diflicult to understand bis utterances. is a true son of the ErnqraMTsle, and must hail from Cork, si nee he is forever pulling' the cork from a whiskey bottle. He is an utterly depraved, drunken got, and is upheld and supported by the general government, in a monthly allow ance of $30. This supports him and keeps him drunk. If he had to work to earn it, it might be different with him. His eon duct of late has been such that he has contributed an averaere of about one- r - - - t - t f i fourth of his pension money to the coffers of the town. He has become a familiar subject in Mayor Neave's court. The offences are "disorderly," "drunk and down," Ac. He is now in Jail, having refused to pay his last fine. -ow, there is certainly a doubt as to his ever having been in the federal ser vice, and if he were, there is not the slighthest evidence that he is in anyway disabled, yet he draws $30 a month, nen- sion from the government of the United States, and for what ? a reward for bia patriotism and devotion to the Union cause and to keep drunk on.
