Yesterday about noon a colored man,
who was a waiter on Market street,
was severely cut on the nock with a
glass. He was abusive to one of the
gentlemen in the house when the gentle
man struck him with a glass tumbler,
making a deep gash. The man lost a
great deal of blood and subsequently
fainted from weakness. His wounds
were dressed by Drs. Potter and Schon-wald.

Worth Knowing.
Bits of toilet soap that are too small
to keep in a soap dish, and yet too good
to throw away, can be saved until a
sufficient amount has accumulated to
pay for utilizing them. Then put them
in a little tin basin and place on a stove
until the soap is melted. Next stir in
enough powdered pom ice stone to give
the mixture a grayish tinge, and pour
the melted mass into a wet cup or other
vessel ,that will serve as a mold, and
set in a cool place to harden. This
will turn out in a bard cake that will be
found first-rate for cleaning the hands
when they are stained with fruit, etc.
More Incendiary Fires.
About ten days ago the store and
stock of Mr. G. S. Beatty, at Beatty's
Bridge, Pender county, was totally de
stroyed by fire. Mr. Beatty, who sleeps
in the store, was awakened between 2
and 3 o'clock of the night in question
by a feeling of suffocation, caused by the
dense smoke which filled his room. He
saw be was almost enveloped in flames
and .sprang out of bed and tried to get
out of the door, but on that night he had
taken the key out of the door and put it
in his pocket. He could not get back to
where his clothes were and had to
jump for his Hfe through a win
dow. By tliat time the entire building
was cuvcloped in flames. Mr. Beatty
valued his stock, fixtures and buildings
at $1,500. on which there was an insur
ance of $800 in the Royal, of Liverpool,
represented in this city by Messrs.
Northrop & Hodges. All of his effects
were destroyed. He did not save oeu
a suit of clothes. It is thought that the
fire was the work of an incendiary, as
.m from under the store. About
one month ago, Mr George Henry, liv
ing in the same neighborhood, lost his
barns and stables by fire, and the evi
dence pointed strongly to the guilt of a
olored man in the neighborhood. Mr.
Beatty proposes to rebuild in a short
time, and again go to work and try to
repair his loss

Arrested for Murder.
John Howard was arrested by Es

just as he (Howard) was boarding the
fast train for this ity. He was arrested
on the charge of murder, and was com

his trial at the next term of the Superior
Court. Howard waived an examina

He is charged with the killing of Joe
Daniels, colored, at Puplin Roads, on
Christmas day 1S78. There had been
some trouble between Daniels and

For the Review.
Rice Culture.
(Continued from No. 8, August 34.)
No. 9.
If, (as has been fully proven, in the
preceding papers on this subject) the
rice industry could neither have been
commenced nor maintained since 1865
without tlie aid of a protective import
tax. what vital interests are at
in Eastern North Carolina artlns time!
If the American producer is dependent
under present conditions, on the protec
tion of an import duty, as it has been
shown herein, and is well understood
that he is, now important to;the section
so much interested: to have all the facts
understood by the national legislature.
With the advantage even of an import
duty the prices he obtains are governed
by the state of the markets and the
quality of his grain, and his profits may
proceed wnoiiy irom nis aDinty to ex
ceed the average yield or by reducing
t.h Aver&ere cost of the crops. Such
profits may fall to those only who are
favored with lands easily cultivated,
and of extraordinary fertility.
If the effect of the import duty on the
rice market be now considered, it will
be found that the average price
of good American rice in 1880-'81
did not exceed $5.50 per 100 pounds,
showing that domestic and foreign rice
were nearly equal in price, (see last
number, Asiatic rice $5.40 per 100 Bs,)
and were brought into contact under
the most absolute conditions of compe
tition. In round numbers, 118,000,000
lbs. of American and 69,000,000 s. of
Asiatic rice were offered in the market,
and the actual demand for home con
sumption was for 176,000,000 lbs. If
either the Amerjoan or the Asiatic noe
had not been summed, it is evident
that the prices must have risen pro
portionately to the limit of the capacity
rf thn pinsnmer to Durchase. This was
illustrated in 1864, when the price of
Aciotio rinfi then in sole control of the
market, ranged from $12 to $17 per
hundred pounds,' while the contrary was
illustrated with equal force in 1880-'81,
when American and Asiatic rice con
tended in the markets ; prices fell in
Southern markets to $4.25 per 100 fls.
for good rice. Here the minimum was
below the average prices tor like quali
ties ia 1837, 1838, 1839, 1854, 1855 an4
1857 covering the most prosperous pe
riod of American rioo husbandry
It is only left to infer that the effect of
the import duty has been ; extraordina
ry increase in the production of
American rice, and a correspon
ding reduction of price. In sixteen
years the crops have increased more
tlian ten-fold, and prices have declin
ed from one hundred to one hundred
and fifty per cent. It has induced ac
tive competition with foreign importa
tion without reducing its value. The
average annual consumption of foreigu
rice in the past eleven years has been
about 50,000,000 pounds, but in 1880- 81
the consumption largely exceeded this
amount having been about 5b,ooo,uou
pounds. . . . . fio
.NOTE 1 ne writer uuww "
vannah Morning News, this morning,
that on the 21st of July Mr. T. L.
Maury, a rice broker of New York, had
called on the Tariff Commission, at
Ixmg Branch, and read a statement
"advocating the abolition of all duty on
rice in the rough or paddy state,
First, because it wo.dd be of the great
est amount of good to the greatest num
ber of people. Second, because it would
not injure the rice growers of the South,
but would rather stimulate the produc
tion of rice at smaller prices, He quotes
Southern planters as telling him that
an average price of 3 cents per pound
would be profitable. While the prices
this year have averaged 64 to 7 cents
per pound. Third, because it would
create a new industry here in New
York or rather increase au old one in
supplying cleaned rice to the West In
dies,Mexico and Canada Fourth, that
it would most assuredly increase the
production of rice at the South, that is
equally desired with cheap wheat and
cheap corn."
This "rice broker" or "middle man
either is a deliberate falsifyer or he is
so ignorant of the subject upon which
he undertakes to enlighten the tariff
commission that he ouht to be harm
less If the statistical information and
other facts bearing on this industry,
that have been laid before your readers
in the foregoing papers, are to be relied
upon, this New York "nee broker
should for awhile hide his head and
first make himself acquainted with the
rudiments at least of rice culture cetore
he goes before an intelligent American
board, setting revise the import duties
on foreign agricultural productions as
well as on manufactured articles.
According to well known rules of rel
ative values, cleaned rice at three cents

they will open a mercantile business,
under the firm name of Anderson &

a severe rain and thunder storm, the
house of Dr. M. R. Morrison was struck
by lightniDg. The shingles were torn
k)ff the roof, the plaster in one of the
rooms was knocked off, the weather
boarding was torn off a place several
feet sauare and some ot the members
of the family were quite severely shock

shocked and Mrs. Morrison was rcn

News and Observer: iThe ears of corn
are remarkably heavy this year, as any
one riding through the luxuriant fields
will notice. Commercial travelers
all agree that business is good, and that
the fall trade prospects were never
brighter. There doesn't appear to
be any abatement in railroad traveling,
for every train passing through the city
is crowded. A secretary of the
State Agricultural Society, to fill the
vacancy caused by Major Gulick's res
ignation, has not been chosen. There
are several applicants. It is actu
ally a fact that farmers have left wheat
and oats in shocks in the fields in this
vicinity, without taking the trouble to
shock them, so that the grain has
sprouted and is all ruined. A
negro man, whops charged with having
committed murder in Sampson county,
some years ago, was yesterday brought
here from Chatham county, by a depu
ty sheriff, to be delivered to the author
ities of Sampson county, who were
waiting for him. The negro had been
captured in Chatham county. Owing
to some hitch in the matter of transfer
ring the prisoner from the custody of
the Chatham officials to those of Samp
son, the prisoner was taken back to
Chatham last night.
