County Aid to the Duplin Canal.
At Kenans ville. on Monday, the 6 th
inst., during the sitting of the Magis
trates, they gave Maj. W. L.Young a
hearing upon the question of Duplin
county giving aid to the Canal.
. Maj. Young stated, according to the
report of our correspondent, that he had
not been authorized by the Company to
take aiy steps in the matter, but as the
Magistrates represented the sovereignty
of the county, it would be well for them
to advise themselves upou the matter.
That the Legislature of North Caro
lina had empowered counties and towns
to give aid to the Company, either by
taking stock or endorsing the Company's
bonds. And while the Company could
at will submit the question to any coun
ty or town for the action of the popular
vote, yet it required the majority of the
votes cast in any connty or town to give
the legal sanction.
Major Young stated that he was hope
ful that the Company would be able to
get along without having to call upon
the lOHnty for aid ; but in case the Conr-
pany should do so, then the county could
be secured by making the stock preferred
and prior to a first mortgage ; that this
would preserve the county's interest even
should the Company fail.
That the county would make money
by taking stock as the iavestment would
be a good one. The profits oh the
drained lands would be very great, and
the tolls would be perpetual. Upon the
close of his remarks Major Young
thanked tho Magistrates for the courtesy
they had extended to him. i
For years the eanal scheme has had to
struggle against old time prejudices, ig
norance and ridicule, all ot which are
formidable obstacles to overcome. But
lay by day the scheme is becoming to be
better understood, and less attention is
being paid to the many idle rumors cir
culated around. And the public mind
begins to realize that the canal enter-
prise will be a success in the near future
as it has outlived ridicule and is now
receiving the serious attention of the in
digent. Should the county be solicited to take
stock the amount that will be asked for
will not exceed 28 cenU on the one hun
dred dollars worth. By dividing this in
to two payments it would only be 14
cents for each respective year. This
amount is toa small to receive any seri
ous opposition.
If the Canal should be extended to the
mouth of Gosben, the result to Du
plin would be fabulous, as it would in
crease the value of real property doable.
Duplin county has never done anything
for herself. Now i3 the time to secure
the drainage of the 50 or 60,000 acres
of mud land within her borders; should
she move in the matter it would
stimulate the other interested counties to
joint action.
W. J. Moran, Esq., 3 St Charles
Market, Boston, Mass., observes: For
two years past I have been lame from
water about the kneejoiot. I have band- j
aged the knee, used liniments and pre- j
scriptions from eminent physicians of
Botton, without any benefit. The only
relief I could obtain was from the hand
of a hired nurse. Two weeks since I
was ordered to try St. Jacobs Oil. The
swelling is reduced, the nurse discharged,
the tendons Jiave relaxed, the pain has
to a great extent disappeared, the band'
ages removed, and I feel free from pain
and better than I have for two years
Superior Court.
The entire time of the Court ha3 been
occupied for the past two days with the
case of M. P. Taylor versus the Bell
Telephone Company, in which plaintiff
brings suit againsUthe Telephone Com
pany for a violation of the contract made
with him by a summary dismissal from
their employ without occasion on his
part for such action. The plaintiff also
claims damages to the amount of several
thousand dollars for damages to his good
character in the matter of a card pub
lished in the daily papers of this city, in
which it was stated by the General
Southern Agent of the Telephone Com
pany that iir. DeForest superseded and
succeeded M. P. Taylor, who was re
moved for cause. Tho defendant in the
suit introduced no testimony but relied
simply apon the plaintiff's witnesses.
The counsel. for plaintiff, as we have al
ready previously stated, was Col. D. K.
McRae and Judge Russell, Attorneys for
defendant Majors D. J. Devane and C.
M. Stedman. Major Devane made the
first speech before the jury yesterday af
ternoon, and it was thosght by his
brethren of the bar to be a very able one
while by others it was characterized
as a very ingenious argument.
Judge Russell followed Major Devane in
a speech ot about forty-five miuutes, but
it is seldom that a lawyer or a public
speaker either says so much in that small
space of time aa did this profound and
gifted lawyer in the few remarks which
he interjected into this case before the
Judge and Jury yesterday afternoon.
Col. Dun -an K. McRae followed
Judge Russell and spoke 'over
an hour, continuing his speech
this morning for at least two hours. The
members of the bar who listened to the
last yarned distinguished speaker refrr
to it as one of the best efforts of his life.
However this may be, certain it is that
Col. McRae's speech was a very elabor
ate one, and exhibited an amount of
legal acumen that few members of the
bar can rival, and none, we believe, sur
pass him in the possession of. Major
Stedman followed Col. McRae for the
defendant, and we are told, made a very
good speech. It was not our privilege
to remain and hear the last named gen
tleman to the end, though we heard
his beginning, which was in his
usual bold and aggressive style.-
His Honor's charge we were also debar
red the pleasure of listening to, but
we are told that it was clear and compre
hensive in its meaniug and impartial,
as was to be expected, in its bearing to
wards the two interested parties. The
Judge concluded his charge at 2 o'clock,
when the jury retired to make up a ver
dict, and are at this writing, 4 p. m.,
still out. The counsel for plaintiff noted
one or two exceptions to the ruling
of the Court in regard to the admission
of testimony during the progress of the
trial and also one or two exceptions we
believe during the Judge's charge. The
counsel for defendant also noted some ex
ceptions during the progress of the trial.
Ventilate Your Closets.
The Scientific American tells us that
soiled undergarments or the wash clothes
ought not to be put into a closet, yen
tilated or not ventilated. They should
be placed in a large bag made for the
purpose, or a roomy basket, and then
put in a well-aired room at some distance
from the family. Having thus excluded
one of the fertile sources of bad odors in
closets, the next point is to see that the
closets are properly ventilated. It mat
ters not how clean the clothing in the
closet may be, if there is no ventilation
that clothing will not be what it should
be. Any garments after being worn for a

The chickeu Dispute.
The chicken contest is still in progress.
Up to 1 o'clock to-day, there had been
five fights in all, one yesterday and four
to-day. Those fought to-day were won
equally by Charlotte and Wilmington,
and as Charlotte won that fought yes
terday she is now one ahead. Accord
ing to tha programme, there are yet sev
enteen fights to come off.

It must have been exceedingly gratify
ing to Miss MacCall to be greeted by eo
large an audience as assembled at the
Opera House last evening on her first
appearance in this city-" She had a crit
ical and an intelligent audiencd and in
point of numbers it was much larger than
that which greeted Mrs. Scott-Sid-dons
when she appeared here.
Miss MacCall was introduced by Col.
A. M. Waddell in a very appropriate ad
dress. Ber repertoire consisted of seven
pictures and only in the first did she ap
pear in propria persona, reciting in a
very clearer manner Charles Mackay's
poem, '"If I were a voice." The other
pictures were presented in costume and
were selected with a view of showing
Miss MacCall's versatility. ;She evinced
much careful training and the manurism
of the professional style. Her voice does
not seem to be one of great volume but
it is musical and sonorous and we think
when she has more experience and it en
abled to judge of the sizeof the hail she
must fill she will appear to better ad
vantage, ner enunciation was clear
and distinct. We thought Miss Mac
Call very clever in her recitations but
were better pleased with her in "Widow
Bedott's Poitry" and Tennyson's latest
poem, "Rizpah." She is a young lady of
great promise and we think is destined to
take an elevated stand in the profession
for which she has a talent and which she
has chosen. She must not cease to work
and study or permit her friends to per
suade her into the belief that she is now
a great actress. Miss MacCall, accom
panied by her mother, left this morning
for their home in Rockingham.
