Eobinsoifs circus drew the largest erowd ever seen in Salisbury since the war. People commenced coming in the evening before, and coming all through the niirlit. Saturday morning's sun found them pouring in through every road m wagons, buggies, carts, tfnd on foot. By 9 o'clock every back lot was crowded nkfl vehich.es, and the streets and stores filled with people white, black, old and young. The Court House bell rang to announce a speech of Gen. R. li. Vance in the interest ol'lhe Farmers' Alliance: Its tones were feebly audible above the murmur of the voices in the streets. The appointment of the General unfor tunately fell on circus day.

The above is the title of a neat little pamphlet gotten outoy our Solicitor Mr. LonS- I" the preface Mr. Long says: In the discharge of my duties as So licitor nothing perhaps aids me so much to economize time and dispatch business before the Grand Jury and the Court as paius-taklng, prompt and complete re turns made out by intelligent Justices, Mayors and Coroners. When cases are heard and disposed of by them without patient deliberation and care, without reducing the evidence to writing, with out taking sufficient bail-bonds and rec ognizing the material witnesses, and without sending all the original" papers to the Clerk as soon as the case is tried, confusion and delay inevitably result. The Justices, Mayors and Coroners can prevent this confusion and delay by a little care, a little patience and a little trouble. They are the conservators of 4he peace in their respective communi tiesand as a rule are anxious to know and to enforce the law. I In no spirit of censure but with a. hope of being helpful to them, I have prepared this pamphlet for their assistance, trusting it may be re ceived with a proper appreciation of the motjve which prompted its publication. To those just entering upon their duties it may serve as a guide-, and to those who have for many years performed their du ties with credit to themselves and useful ness to the State, it may present the law in a convenient form for reference."' From Franklin. Mr. Editor: When a portion of ouv township was stricken by the hail storm in the latter part of May, and for several weeks afterwards, when' we saw tlint our entire fruit crop, and a large portion of our wheat was entirely destroyed, -things looked gloomy indeed, but subseaueutlv kthe season being very favorable we got a good stand ot corn and cotton. The former lias yielded abuhdatly as good perhaps, as we have ever seen. The cot ton has produced the greatest growth of weed we ever ;saw, and did, iu deedj look quite flattering, and if it had matured properly, and in accordance with appearances, Franklin would have produced the largest crop she ever did. Prior to the frost the cotton was rank and luxuriant, much of it rive to six feet high, and white blooms all" over the fields, but being -so tender and full of sap, it being the more snsceptable to the influence of the frost, it was entirely killed, und turned to a dingy, rusty color anil there is not a single white pod, to re lieve the monotony ot the scene. Even if a few holds do open, it will be so im mature as to be almost worthless, and tuerejire whole fields which will not pro duce enough seed to plant them again next spring, and now, itds, that the dam age done us by Hie hail storm, becomes more fully apparent. Of course, most of the sufferers by the bar! storm, had made some debts to ob tain supplies, &c. These debts were made upon the faith of their prospects for a crop, and we suppose their credi tois will'press for their tdaims, all the same, as if iliey had made a good crop. The prospects of all are gloomy indeed, and how they are to manage, is more than we can see. It is to be hoped that the creditors will be as lenient as it is possi ble for them to be, so as not to suffer themselves. If they will but act in ac cordance with the beautiful "Golden Rule," and "do as they would wish to be done bV our people will have noth ing to fear. The season now being fine, many farm ers are preparing lands, seeding wheat, gathering cornK &c. W..K. Fr.4.ey. A Bride and Groom at the Fair Dressed in Cotton Bagging. Raleigh, Oct, 15. There was a unique marriage at the State fair here today in the presence of several thousand people. The contracting parties wero William M. Bateman and Josephine Knowles. Both were dressed in white cotton bagging, made at Leaksville' in this State. They were escorted; from the city to the fair grounds by a large procession. The cere mony was performed by Chnplaiu Scott, of the State Alliance. Bridesmaids and groomsmen were also dressed in cotton bagging- A great number of presents were made to the bride and groom. These were presented by Gov. Fow leaud were accepted by State Auditor Sander liu on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Bateman, who then received a regular ovation. This novel wedding has attracted wide spread interest. Bateman is an enthusi astic member of the Farmers' Alliance, and detests the jute bagging Trust with all his heart. He took this novel way of showing his hatred of it, and his joy at its defeat by the Alliance. The State Alliance was greatlyiJlensed at his plan and aide(fhim with particu lar relish. Gov. Fowle said to-day that Bateman and the Alliance had plainly shown the people that jute was not king in North Carolina. Not a single yard ofbagging has been sold here? Farmers will not use it, and dealers will not handle it at all. Alliance inert are arrangiug to make alght against the American Bagging Company, which has just formed a new trust. They will meet at St. Louis, Mo., December-, and make a square ,nght against it. MARRIED. At the residence of J. K. Rurke, Mr Robt. Knox and Mis Zulia C. Cowan, both ofMt. Ulla township, Rev. Dr. Rum- Fenaion Legislation. Philadelphia Ledger. General Martin T. McMnhon. Army man, one of t he board of governors ! of the Soldiers' Home, and one who lias j given close study to Pension matters' de- i viares it 10 oe ms deliberate conviction that the pension legislation suggested at the last encampment of the Grand Army at Milwaukee will, if enacted into laws, cost the people of the United States as much as the war did itself. He says that it is time the thoughtful, patriotic men oTthe Grand Army should protest. No body will doubt that General McMahon is entitled to speak as a representative of the veterans. He was in the field in every battle fought by the Army of the Potomac during its five years of service. He caught General Sedgwick in his arms at Gettysburg as he fell dying. Two of his brothers successfully commanded a New York regiment and successively fell at the head of that regiment. If the ser vice pension bill should be adopted Gen. McMahon would receive tlie largest pos sible pension under it. Gen. McMahon said : "In my opinion the prevailing senti ment of the Grand Army, if it could be properly ascertained, would be found to be simply tbis that the Government should comply with the implied contract made with the men who entered the ser vice in the war of '01 by givingliberal pen sions to those who were actually disabled ana to tne widows of the dead soldiers who are in need. Neither the Govern ment nor the people ever undertook to do more than this, and the talk about pen sioning every man, without reference to his physical disability or his condition in life, is carried to an absurd excess by many people who claim to represent the Grand Army." Of the effect of the passage of the Ar rears of Pensions bill upon the soldiers, he said : "I can only say that the arrears paid to disabled soldiers in the National Homes was, in the great majority of in stances, a misfortune rather than a bene fit. By far the greater number of these men, coming suddenly into the possession of large sums, amounting in some in stance to thousands of dollars, immedi ately took their departure from the Homes, only to return after a few weeks or months utterly broken down, ragged, robbed and destitute. When the Arrears of Pensions bill was passed it was claimed that $40,000,000 would coverall expendi tures under the law. It has already ex ceed more. than five times that amount, and there are claims still pending for over $200,000,000 more. The pension legislation asked for now, if enacted, will very greatly exceed any estimate thus far made, and I have no hesitation in saying that it will greatly exceed the entire cost of the war." Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin. FOR THE WEEK EXDIXCi FRIDAY, OCT. 11. The veports of the correspondents of tlie Weekly VV eat her Crop Bulletin issued by the N. C. Experiment Station and State Weather Service, co-operating with the U. S. Signal Service, show that there was a deficiency of rainfall and tempera ture and an excess of sunshine during the week ending Friday, Oct. 11th. Very little rain fell during the week and a few sjiowers would be beneficial. The tempera tu re has been below the average over the entire State. Killing frosts oc curred on the mornings of t he eight h and nineth, for which warning were issued well in .advance by the Chief Signal Offi cer. No reports have been received of any injurvdone to tobacco, which has probably all been housed. The cotton erop, however, seems to have been con siderably damaged in many places. Cot ton continues to open very slowly; the bolls seem not to have been as fully ma tured as was thought, and it is difficult to estimate w hat damage the frost lias really caused. It will perhaps not prove as great as is supposed. The first killing frost Uiis year occurred earlier than usual, the average date being about Oc tober 10th. Eastern District. The weather has been slightly warmer than in other dis tricts, with a little rain. Frost did not reach the southeastern portion. Central District. The temperature much below the average and heavy frost caused damage to late cotton. Tobacco safe-, corn is being gathered. Western District. Cloudless w eath er. The temperature was lower than in other districts. Frost damsvged cottou and killed pea-vines. The Cotton Movement. AN INTERESTING COMPARATIVE. STATE MENT BY THE NEW ORLEANS COTTON EXCHANGE. New Orleans, Oct. 14. The New Orleans Cottou Exchange statement is sued to-day makes the net cotton move ment across the Ohio, Mississippi and Potomac rivers to Northern United States and Canadian Mills for the week ending October 11th, 18,645 bales, against 32,584 last year, and the total since September 1, 42,457, against 61,716. Total amount mill takings, North aud South, for the tirst six weeks of the sea son, 240.261, against 289,405, of which by Northern mills 197,894, against 236, 875. The total amount of the American crop that has come into sight during the past six weeks is 1,162,472 bales, against 963,734. Tlie statement shows- that in cluding the amount left over from the last crop, notwithstanding the heavy in crease in port receipts, the total Ameri can supply available since September 1 has been only 56,476 greater than for the same period last year; It shows an in crease in foreign exports of 178,068 bales, and a decrease in American spinners' takings of 40,144, and a decrease in American stocks at ports and interior on October 11 of 81,48 compared with the close of the corresponding week last year. New White Honse Rules. THE PRESIDENT WANTS SEVERAL HOURS EACH DAY TO PREPARE HIS MESSAGE. Washington Post. The necessity of making some pre paration for the meeting of Congress has compelled the President to establish the fid lowing rules for the transaction of business at the Executive Mansion, which will be "strictly adhered to: Senators and members and others hav ing business with the President will be re ceived every day , except Monday , between the hours of 11 aud 12-.30 o'clook, and at no other time. - The public reception in the East Room at 1 P. M. on Mondays, Wed nesdays and Saturdays will be held as usual. The President regrets the inconven ience to whieh friends may be subjected by the enforcement of these rules, but he is sure that they will sec the necessity of his having some hours each day which'are absolutely free from in- terrupt ion. "Hooray for Book Hill." It is related that during Evangelist Pearson's meeting at Rock Hill, S. C, the date for John Robinson's circus fell due. It arrived on time with the -usual grand flourish. Tho procession moved along the main thoroughfares, the band played, the animals grunted and growled and the inevitable small boy followed and screeched his best. Later an at tempt was made at giving an entertain ment, but the crowd under the canvass was a dead failure.. John Lovvlow was greatly disgusted, and remarking bit terly, 44 that little 95 pound preacher has knocked us out," pulled up stakes, can celled his engagement to show at night, and left for the next town. Charlotte Neum. Prohibitory Amendment Defeated by Large Majority. Hartford, Conn., October 12. Re turns of last Monday's election from all except one of the 168 towns of Connecti cut show that the prohibitory amend ment received 23,045 affirmitive votes, and 50,271 negative. The majority against the ameudment is 27,266. Twenty three towns were carried for the amend ment under the local option law. Eighty-three towns, a gain of three, allow liquor selling within their limits and eighty-five exclude saloons. In the town elections the Democrats gained 7 towns over last year, the summary be ing Democrats, 63: Republicans, 66: di vided 39. Attacked by Natives. London, Oct. 15. Advices from Blis bane, Queensland, states that Sir Wil liam MacGregor, administrator of Guin nea, accompanied by a party of twenty two men, recently landed on the island of Demarara. A force of 250 natives made an attack upon the party, but after hard fighting they were finally re pulsed. When the natives retreated they left eleven of their number dead or wounded behind them. Several of the whites were wounded. Sir William's party then sej, fire to and burned the village of tlie natives. The Virginia Contest. Reports received from all the surround ing counties around Petersburg are to the effect that the negroes are organizing democratic campaign clubs, ana within the past week no less than half a dozen of these clubs have been organized in Petersburg. A few nights ago John M Langston made a lengthy political speech in Petersburg before an immense gathering of colored men, who filled the nail to overflowing, but at no time dur ing his address did he utter Mahone's name. Ed. Brown Hot Guilty. Special to Asheville Evening Journal. Marion, N. C, Oct. 15. Ed. Brown, who was charged with the murder of Col. Roger J.

The stars and stripes, the country's emblem of unity and power, was hissed at in a public hall in that city, last Saturday afternoon. There were about 1,000 people present, and half of them were socialists. It was a socialist meeting. The red flag was displayed soon after and was greeted with great applause. We doubt whether the national flag could bejiissed in a southern audience without instant resentment.

C, Dear Sir: My wife had been a great sufferer from dyspepsia for years, no thing she ate agreed with her and no thing seemed to give her any relief. She was induced to try a bottle of Dr. Mur ray's Dyspepsia Cure, and after using one and one-half bottles she is entirely cured. I have never known her to express any thing but indifference as to whether she ate anything or not, but now she is al ways hungry at meal times and digests everything that she eats.. I take pleas ure in informing yon that in her case it has done a great deal more than we ever thought it was possible for any medicine to do. Respectfully, L. Lyebly. I x OUR FALL SLATE.
