WILMINGTON. N. C .. MONDAY SEPTEMBER! "1885. NO. 208
A Dastardly Act.
Early yesterday morning some one
entered the stable ot Jacob Thompson,
the well known colored baggage; ex
pressman, who lives on the corner of
Eighth and Taylor streets, and taking
therefrom his horse, led him to the
lailroad track. They got htm near the
road and as the horse would not go on
the track, the scoundrels proceeded
to mutilate him. They got
possession of a railroad axe and struck
him in the eye and on the back of the
head and in various other places on the
head and then, as the animal fell, They
left him tor dead. This must have been
alter 3 o'clock as at that hour Tbomp.
6on is sure that the horse wa3 in his
table. On rising at an early hour
Thompson looked lor bis steed but as
he was not to be found he came to the
reasonable conclusion that he
had escaped - and ho thereupon
set out on the Sound road in search of
him. Not finding any traces of him he
turned back after going a few miles and
returned to the city. The horse was
found afterwards lying on the strict
and badly mutilated. He was not dead,
however, and will probably recaver.
He was blind in one eye and this is,
fortunately, the eye that was injured by
those who stole him. There is no cer
tainty, as yet, a9 to the scoundrels, but
there are some good clues to work up
on. '
Columbus County.
We have heard it remarked that "it
will be a good day fur this section
when the last barrel of turpentine has
been made and marketed" and we don't
know but that there is more truth than
poetry in that sapient observation.
When the turpentine is all gone then
farming will take its place and the man
who can make money out of the pine
trees at the present price of the raw
material ought to grind a fortune out
of good farming land with corn at 50
cents a bushel.
But farming is not the only employ
ment open to those who many wish to
tnrn from turpontine to tillage. There
is a splendid prospect ahead for many
in the raising of beef cattle, sheep, &c.,
for market, provided ah! provided
wo can find a legislative body with
backbone enough to protect the sheep
from the dogs. To these Columbus
county opens an excellent vista. There
are some splendid pasture lands in that
fine section and these will surely be
utilized at no distant day.
These remarks have been suggested
by reading in the Chadbourn Times a
short article written by Mr. Gerald
McCarthy, of Washington City, the
celebrated botanist who has been
spending some weeks in this vicinity.
It was written for Rev. A. Kirkland, of
Whiteville, and is a3 follows:
Columbus county has the best soil
of any coast county south of Hyde. It
is prevailingly clay, with a thin layer of
sand above, and in tho "bays," a super
imposed layer ot vegetable mould.
Such a sod possesses the elements of
great and lasting fertility. -
The fortune of tho man is made who
will be the first to inaugurate stock
growing on civilized principles in this
section. Kentucky blue grass and or
chard irrass will grow finely on timber
ed land similar to the Chadbourn tract.
Timothy and Redtop hay can be grown
upon cleared or unshaded clay land,
and will require but littlo drainage in
most cases none.
Bermuda grass is about the only for
age grass that thrives on thin sandy soil.
This grass makes the best pasture that
over a sheep's cje or an ox's gazed
upon. It does not seed in this section.
It must be propagated from root cut
ting, which can be purchased by tho
barrel in Charleston, S. C.
Sorghum llalapense. otherwise call
ed Johnson or Means grass, is a most
valuable grass for drowned laud. It
will grow in standing water and cattle
Wilt swim to get a nibble of it.
Clover will grow admirably on most
soils in this county. Good i corn land
will produce good clover, and will pay
seven times as 'much as the same acre
age in corn. Clover, however, re
quires considerable skill in coring the
crop. Millet would also dowell here,
as would Sorghum. X
Now. for a downright lazy man's
crop, there is nothing like bay. Only
get a meadow properly seeded in
Timothy and Redtop grasses and the
meadow will outlast its planter. The
lazy farmer need only send his men to
mow it three or four times a year,
securing at each mowing one ton per
acre, which will readily sell for $20
per ton. Broadly speaking any land
that will grow rice will grow Timothy
and Bed top grasses, and such land is
pretty abundant in this section. .
As to medicinal herbs and, useful
wild plants, there is a large number ot
species in the swamps and woods, but
it would be of little purpose for me to
enumerate them by their Latin names,
and most of them have no common
English names. Sumach, of which
there are several species pretty abund
ant. Is purchased by several . Virginia
firms who export it for tanning."

Pistols for Turo.
Last night, as Sergeant George W.
Bishop, ot the Police force, was on , his
way home, he was accosted by a small
boy who.tpld him lhaVthere was jimp
son weeds to pay on the - corner of
Third and Castle streets. This i3 the
palatial residence ot John . L." Owens,
proprietor of the saloon corner ot South
Water street and Mnter's alley.
Sergeant Bishop proceeded at once a
the direction indicated and : Soon ' met
John, batless, coatless and cheerless fTTH
his way he Jcnew not whither. t He
brought him to a standstill and then
John, with many tears forcing their
way along his ruddy cheeks, told his
tale of marital infelicity. He had
quarreled with the wife of his bosom
and she had emptied a loaded pistol in
his direction. 'At tho houso pretty
near the same tale was told with the
addition that John had come home,
up to his ears in whiskey, and after
mak'ng kindling wood of the farniturc,
had fired a Fourth of July salute at his
wife from the mouth of a pistol, which
Mrs. John had returned.. The only
injury sustained was a slight wound
in John's left jaw. The two were ar
rested, and John is now in limbo,
while his cara spouse, who declared
that she was too sick to appear in conrt
to-day, was released on her own recog
nizance to appear to-morrow.
