John Sullivan had his trial in Mi.s mssippi for prize fighting in the state, and was sentenced to twelve months confinement in the county prison.

"' There is considerable excitement in London, as the day approaches for the execution of Mrs.-Maybnck, who is paid to be in a condition which pre cludes the possibility of the execution m r The catalogue or advertisement uot r.dorned and illustrated idi a profu Fion of pictures has gone out of style. Barker's Cattle Powder Almanac is the nepius. ultra of the modern idea: Ask him for it. It lias been shown as a singular fact that with rare exceptions persons saved from drowning exhibit no gratitude to theirescuer, especially if in the strug gle, the drowning man should have his hair pulled or get a scratch. . Oiren jieople continue to go to New York for green yowls and come away with bundles of old newspapers put-up in packages like bank notes. The temptation to sudden wealthy is too strong for the ignorant "and avari cious. " VVe acknowledge a ticket of invita tion to attend the State Fair at Ral eigh, in October. Very extensive preparations are in progress to make this one of Ihe most interesting and profitable displays, especially for the farmers, ever yet held by the State. Col. W. H. Yarren, a farmer near Augusta, Ga., has a one hundred acre farm, 02 acres of which are permanent meadows. Four hundred tons of hay have been cut from his meadows in one year, and brought 9,000 or over S90 per acre. Ten men are employed on the farm. The commission appointed to nego tiate for the purchase of 'the Cherokee strip-In Indian Territory has notified the Interior department that nothing else can be donu until their offer of $1.25 per r.crc is submitted to the Cherokee annual council which meets in November. The President and memhers of his Cabinet every one" of them are ab sent from Washington taking- ;u rest irox their ardent labors. The to lerj ef the country, who can barely live by the sweat of their brow, have to put up with what rest they can snatch be tween the setting and the rising of the snn. The "Progressive Farmer" of the 20tji inst., says: "Our State Kxecu tive Committee and out Business Agent, will do all in their i power to supply the brethren with cotton bag ging. Let the brethren aid each otW and get along, if it be possible, until thejrean yet the bagging of the Al lianc. ' - An odd Htory has -leaked out about M. M. Hurley, the Indiananarepu'bU cau who recently declined the position of, Third Auditor of the Treansurv. At the time4t was stated Uhat he dc iclared he had lieen tendered a more hi :crative position by a niilroad, but ac - - cording to the story now told he de clined, because he was .requested toby President Harrison, and the reason he was asked 4viW the discovery that the Government was now suing him for money claimed to bedne ifrom him , when he vn nmnv.l l.w ir; m.-. , land fnnnic the postm .ster. atr New 4 ti.: i ioiiy, tnuuna. H. A. Hartsfield, a' young man of Wako countv. was at Cumberl.ind mountain a few dayi ag.i, where he says) bethought I moulds for coining silver dollars, for which he. paid $75 hi cash. He carried "them over to Asheviile, N. C, and commenced bus-nes.-, but the police snapped him up and he is now in fiil awaiting the next term of the Federal Court. Mr. J.

Rev. Dr. O. B. Strickler, of Atlanta, pastor of the Presbyterian church, found, on his return from a vacation, that his congregation had raised his salary from three to four thousand dollars a year. After expressing his gratification at such evidence of es teem, he respectfully declined the ac ceptance of the increase, believing the church could make a better appropri ation of flie monev. Lula Kissman, a German girl, living ten miles west of Savannah, Ga., was assaulted in broad dny light at her home, by Walter Ashbury, colored. A desperate and bloody struggle ensued, which the girl kept up until released by an old negro man who' came upon the scene. Ashbury fled, but the news spreading, a company went in pursuit and overtook him. He was brought back for Identification confessed his crime and was hun. Burglars at Tai boro, N. C, have been troubling the people no little oi late. Tuesday night of last week no less no less than six houses were at tempted by them. The last house they visited was that of Mr. B. F. Moore. Mr. Moore was awake heard and saw them, and when they ran he ran after them nd overtook iheni, and found them to he two negro boys about 16 or 17 years old. They are now in jail awaiting trial. Jjiere was war between the "Jav.l mrds and the "Woodpeckers'the former representinvhite Democrats, and the latter the negroes and a few whites at Richmond,. Texas, on the loth, in which Sheriff Carvey and deputy Blackeney were killed, and others wounded. Troops have been ordered forward to restor order. The ' V oodpeckers held the town. Of course there was great excitement. The cause of the disturbances, not so plain to people at a distance. The Abbeville Evening Journal, and the daily Citizen of that city slipped up badly ou giving a highly compli mentary account of Judge Clark's .barge to the Grand Jury . of Bun combe. The Judge made no charge to the Jury not a word! But the edi tors took it for-granted that he had. and complimented him in hidi terms for the learning and appropriateness of his supposed performance. Blessed is the enterprising news paper whose ways are past finding out. Big Tom Reed is booming for 'the Speakership of the House, and if it is true as claimed now that he is to be backed by the republican national com mittee and the administration he can be put down as certain winner. If the democrats had the selection for a republican Sneaker I think. McKinley, of Ohio, would be the man. He is a staunch republican but he is extremely liberal and fair minded. So much can hardly be said for Big Tom Reed without seriously stretching the truth. " new summer resort is projected at Linville, at the foot of, and including, the famous Grandfather Mountain, hi Western North Carolina. A town has been laid out with wide streets, exten sive parks and drives. Northern an d Southern capitalists are at work at it, and there is no doubtLiuville will soon become a famous place for sum mer tourists. It is nearly 4,000 feet elevation, and is sajd to be cool and bracing in summer and temperate in winter. - i Dr. Fuller, first assistant Physician at the Iusane Asylum, denies having congratulated Dr. Grissom on his ac quittal after his late trial, and of say ing his sympathies were with him dur nig its progress. He also denies hav ing protested against the election of Ur. Rogers is Second Assistant PhrsL cian, though he did say that he thought n.c .in,omiuient without his knowl edge was not treating him right, con quering tne relation- they were to sus-1 tain to :!. I. rtiliA The Farmsrs Alliance. Careless people of town and cities, and, indeed, of many in the rural dis tricts, have attichel very little im portanee to the orjf miz ition known as the ''Farmers' Alliance' Many have looked upon it as an ephemeral movement, and . are looking for it's death. And Je.ist of all do they ex pect from it any grand res-alts which shall be productive of good to its mem bers or to the State at large. We sincerely hope that such persons may have cause far abundant surprise and joy on discovering their mistake. This organization should not only maintain its existence but grow in strength every day. There is great need for such a body at this t.me, and the da' is Coming when the need willbe great er. They now constitute the only hope of deliverance from the crush ing power of capital in the hands of a few whose greed for power and money will yield to nothing but the superior power of the farmers of the country. Congress be tongs to the ca Iheir money rules its deliberations against the masses of the people and in the interest of the rich corporations and manufacturers. It will continue to do so unless the people show lesistence. The process of enthraldom will go on with accelarated speed, unless the Farm ers' Alliance and those who may sustain them, shall be able to break the fetters with which they are being bound. All hail the success of farmers in every attempt to restrain the " aggres sive encroachment of the money power on the rights and the liberties of the people. They have successfully resist ed the Jute Trust, as we hope, and it is most devoutly to be wished that one by one they may find the way by which to crush every other combination that shall seek to rob them and oppress the country. The Yadkin Railroad. Build it, of course. We have got it to do, or we will loose all that we have held valuable in the lower end of this county, and a1 1 of Stanly and Mont gomery. We will lo- se not only the social intercourse but we will loe all the wagon trade that our merchants have been counting on as so valuable. Now, stop awhile, and consider why we will lose it all. Because the Roa noke & Southern railroad is not ready to come and won't bj for more than a year; because the South Atlantic & Northwestern can't be built; because the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley R. R. is now at work surveying its line from Fayettevil.le to Albermarle to cut off Salisbury's trade; because we will lose all prospects of ever developing the great w::ter power of the Yadkin river; because our gold mines will continue to lay idle, and we lose the industry, trade, value and reputation that profit able working of them will give; be cause kickers, who object to our own road and want competing roads, are estoped from having them by the Inter-State Railroad laws, as well as the State 1 aws, which make it a penal of fence to compete, but require all roads to charge the same r.ites from and to the same point; because if our people do not vote the subscription Cabarrus will, and the road will then o from Concord, and we will be cut off again. So you see, men, bretheren and felbw citizens, we have have got to register and vote the subscription or we will be indeed cut off. Let us then not delay or even jeopardize our own best inter ests by any more hesitancy, but with a will take take hold ar.d Iieip. Fairs. There are to be id less than twelve fairs iii different parts of the State this summer and fall, to wit: At Winston August 21, 22; Newton; -September 0, 10; Hickory, September' 24-27; Cabar rus; October U; Alamance, October 9, 10,11; Warren County same days; State Fair, October 14-19; Eastern Carolina, October 22-24; Roanoke, October 30, 31 ; Cumberland, Novem ber, 20, 22. They will make a harvest for the Railroads even at half rates. It was charged on the Republi ans in the presidential cr.nyass that they would endeavor to corrupt the ballot boxes of this State by buying votes. Subsequent developments sis made by Senator Quay show that the charge was true. $30,000 were paid over by his private secretary, Frank Leach, to secure a republican victory. Secretary beach says that he irave SSOOO fr Estes for use in the district of Cheat ham, the negro: $3,000 to Judge Set tles son, to elect Mr. Brower, and 5,000 for se in Congressman EwartV dis'.ricts. The other 815,000 was used iu the other districts in the State, ac cording to the claim of Senator Quay and his secretary. But as nobody has been able to show that these sums were expended as in- tended, the presumption is that it was not so expended, but that it uever left the pockets of th u,e lK,CKei;5 or tn ose who were entniit- with its disbursement. Washington Letter. (From our regular correspondent.) WASHlxViTr.N, Aug. 19, IS83. President Harrison flitted into town Friday and out ajrain Saturday after m on. The horde of pap-hunters scent ed the game from afar and m ule a charge-on the White House. There were weeping and wailing and gnash ing of teeth when the hungry- crowd was informed that the President could not be seen, and the agony was piled on when they discovered that this w: s probably the last time President Hai rison would come to Washington be fore October. Saturday aftern ron about the time th;.t President and Mrs. Harrison and private secretary Halford were starting for Deer Park in the private car of President Mever of 1 he B. & O. R. K., Jialf a d( ien insignificant appointments were au nounced. The President and wife go to India napolis this week for the hist time since the head of the house became our chief magistrate. I do not know how the old man is feel.ng about ihe trip. out it is no violation of confidence to :s:iv that Mrs. Harrison isdelighled and she would be still more deliffhted if she was returning to stay, for she has never ceased to be homesick r.nd to pin for her quiet house in Indianapolis. 1 am informed by one who I think knows, that the extra session of Con gress will be called for October 21 or 2S. It is likely to be a memorable session. Already the proplncy has been made by a well known democrat that if the republicans of the house attempt to change the rules so they can admit all the contestants belong to their party it will cause a contin uous session to the 4tb, of March 1891; when the Fifty-first Congress expires by limitation. That is probably an extreme view, but all the sins indi cated very bitter political wr; ngleover the rules of the H louse. Commissioner Tanner reiterates that the personal relations between himself and Secretary Noble are the pleasant est. He Jidmits that there are official differences. It would be useless to deny it when hardly a day passes that the Secretary does not in some manner overrule or - change some decision of the Commissioner. Just previous to the first of July Mr. Tanner decided that Pension agents might make need ed increases in their clerical force in excels of the money npnropriatwl for n,.. L ' ...i.i ...i. r.r,.,..i Ln.iu i;t- muu ..n. Lonjjress for an appropriation covernm the deficiency.

It seems very certain that utiles; the official re- lations of these two men are oon changed that one or tin other will have to retire to private life. As it is now their opinions are too wide apart for anj thing that is approaching har mony. If the democrats thro'.ighoufc th; state are as enthusiastic over the ticket nominated at Richmond last week as are the Virginia, Democrats who fre rpient Washington, a victorv is certain this fall.

A bag was quickly thrown over his head and after receiving a sound lashing, a rope was put around his neck and he was swung up to the limb of a tree, where he hung for two minutes. He was with difficult resuscitated. He and the woman left the next day, pur suant to orders, and crosWd the State line into North Carolina. NOTICE. .
