The Atlanta correspondent of the
Macon Telegraph understands that Mr

Private Secretary to Governor McDan

to the Governor, too, no doubt. The
report is without foundation in fact,
thinks the Augusta Chronicle, Mr.
Randall being the corresponding editor
of that paper.

is taught in the schools than how itfis

the things he needs to know, we shall

Illinois stands as the Empire State
of the Northwest. Illinois takes ".the
lead in manufacture of farm implc?
ments, in distilling, in other branches
of production, and is rapidly placing
herself in line with the other Eastern
States in the manufacture ol the ' vari
ous kinds of iron. The farm and orch
ard products of Illinois in 1880 were
five times greater than the products of
the gold and silver mines of the whole
country.

colored boys who were swimming in
the creek near the old Athletic Grounds.

air hideous with their obscenity, j This
is an outrage and the police authorities
should take the matter in band at ouce
and suppress it.
The First i Excursion .
Li
We are glad to learn that the pros
pects for a large attendance on the ex
cursion to be given to-morrow ;by the
Ilechabites in this ? city are1 very
good. It is the first of the season and
many who have been! longing to get opt
of town for a day of rest will take ad
vantage ot this opportunity.! The ar
rangements are all in the hands of
experienced gentlemen who will see
that the wants of all are prom pth
attended to.
Kain Needed
There is much need of rain in the
country as well a s p the city. There
were good showers in the vicinity of
Burgaw on Friday night, but they ex
tended but a short distance either North
or South of that locality. It is' true
that vegetation has suffered but little as
yet, but the ground lis getting dry and
parched, and unless showers moisten
the earth within a few days, the crops,
already retarded by the 'cold and late
Spring, will suffer materially.
The Graded Schools
The School Committee have appoint
ed the following days for the - public to

Competitive Examination.
la accordance with an announcement
made several week since , by ' Hon.
Wharton J. Green, Representative-elect
to the Forty-Eighth Congresi from this
District, in the columns of jtbe news
papers throughout the District, a com
petitive examination of candidates for
admission to West Point j Military
Academy was held at Fayetteville on
Thursday, the 10th inst. Tnef Board of
Examiners was composed of Messrs.
Graham, Bradford and Rose, all ot
Fayetteville, the first named gentleman
being the principal of the graded school
at that place. The examination was
thorough and conducted with entire im
partiality. Among the candidates who presented
themselves for examination was Mr.
Charles Gerhardt, of this city, and while
we cannot but regret that' his competi
tors, who struggled manfully for ; the
prize, were defeated, we congratulate
onr young friend on his success and
acknowledge to a sentiment of pride
that the coveted certificate was awarded
to him. Mr. Gerh&rdt is a native of
Baltimore, Md and was educated in
the public schools; of that city. I ! He is
now 20 years of age, has been in this city
about four years, and is the book
keeper in the establishment of Messrs.
Hart, Baily & Co. , He wiU leave for
West Point in a few days with onr
hearty congratulations on his success.

Vacation.
The average small boy begins to loofe
forward to 1 the close , of the present
school term and in anticipation enjoy
the pleasures of fishing, hunting, pic
nics and other pleasurable occasions.
We hope that they may all be fully re
alized and that no accident or untoward
event may mar the vacation time, for
we were once a boy and know all aboui

1 ' A Monster Reptile.
Two thoroughly reliable residents of
the Moore's creek section.Messrs. Wm.
Gurganus and J. I. Croom, write us
an account of the killing by them of
what is probably the biggest snake
which has ever been encountered in this
section. Mr. Gurganus says thai on the
Uth inst., while passing along the road
near the head of Moore's creek, in Pen
der county, he saw something lying
across the road which, with a careless
glance at it, he took for a log of wood.
As he was about to step over it he saw
it move and springing back he called the
attention of Mr. Croom, who accompa
nied him, to the object. Mr. Croom
thereupon got a stout . pole and struck
the monster across the head a terrible
blow but it did not either kill or disable
him. Mr. Gurganus thereupon came
to his assistance and together they dis
patched the shake. These gentlemen
write us that by actual measurement
the monster was 15 feet 6 inches in
length and 6 inches across the top of his
head but they neglected to tell us to
what species it belonged, though it was
probably a rattlesnake.

Truck Farm Ins:. I
In nearly every direction contiguous
to railroad'and steamboat navigation
facilities the people of the South are
paying increased attention to the culti
uation ot vegetables for the Northern
markets, and with much promise of
financial success. A few years after
the war closed there was an attempt
made to make "truck farming" a pay-
ing industry, but it resulted generally
in loss to the producer, principally be
cause of the ignorance of our people
regarding this entirely new system of
agriculture. As the years have rolled
by, however, the best systems have be
come better understood, and where
once the attempt resulted in discourag
ing disaster, it is now attended with
pronounced success. We find many
now engaged in j tlhis enterprise along
the railroad lines, and with a better
knowledge than formerly of the North
era demand, and how to supply that
demand, they are j meeting Jwith very
encouraging returns for their eare and
labor. There are millions in the busi-
ncss when once U is fairly understood
and systematized, and receive that
strict attention whithout which no en
terprise will be sure to prosper. .
A Retraxit, j
A day or two since we printed an ed
itorial squib to the effeet that "Phil.
Thomas, if his wife tells ihe truth,
killed an innocent man.' It was an
unfortunate, and almost a bloody error,
for rkftT Thomas, (which bis name is
not Thompson) who 6tops at Mr.
Bridgen1 store on North Front street,
and sells three pounds of Royster's
candy for one dollar, and j who never
killed anything bigger than a fox or
uglier than a baboon, descended upon
tis in a blast of indignation and demand
ed a "retraxit", which we here tender;
not that he himself cares a caramel
about it, bnt that his friends are about
to
run him to earth on the subject.
Therefore, we apologize. It should
have read : Phil Thompson" instead of
Phil Thomas."

j Almost a Fire.
At about 12:30 o'clock this afternoon,
a fire was discovered on the roof of the
kitchen.of M r- R. M. McDougall, on
Sixth ' betweeu lhcsnut aiid Princess

when first seen but a few well directed
buckets of water promptly thrown ex

damage was done than the burning of
a slight hole in the roof. No general
alarm was given.
The Transirressor's "Ways.
Late on Saturday night Constable
Buuting received a telegraphic dispatch
stating that his services would be re
quested to arrest a man who had arrived
here from Savannah, Ga., and also that
a man would arrive on the last
train from the South, for the purpose
of identifying the party. When the last
man arrived, he in company with Mr.
Bnnling repaired to the Purcell House
where they satisfied themselves that the
man they wanted was there , under the
cover of an alias, ! They then proceeded
to the house of Justice Gardner, routed
him from bed, and upon the affidavit of
the stranger, a warrant was issued for
the arrest of the. .suspected party, and
the latter was arrested at about 2 O'clock
on Sunday morning and committed
without bail to await the necessary ex
trdiation papers to enable him to be ta
ken to Georgia for trial. The name of the
accused man is William, Stanton, alias
Letzer, alias Baldwin, and the crime of
which he stands "accused is embezzle
ment. He is apparently not more than
21 or 22 years of age and has quite a
prepossessing appearance, : and the
charge, as near as we anjearn, is that
he has been in the habit of getting
booths and periodicals to sell , onr com
mission from a news agency and instead
of making his proper returns had ab
sconded with the funds.
