A young gentleman who was driv ing a lady to the Sound, a few days ago makes complaint of a matter which should be investigated and put a stop to. He was near' the Mineral Spring, driving gently along when there approaches hitu from the other direction two young ltiefc in buggies who were racing with each other. They made no attempt to hold up when they saw another vehicle approaching and the gentfe man who was with the )atjy drove tip as close as possible to the6$de pf the road to allow them toTp&i, which they barely did without graz. ing his wheels. Fortunately it was in a ide pace of the road but there are some places on the turnpike where, in such an event, a smash np would be inevitable.

Where Will the Depot Be? A good deal of speculation is in dulged in no as to - the roiite by which the Cape Fear & Yadkin Val ley It.

It has been thought by many that the old Point Peter property, at the "confluence of the two rivers, would bo purchased and made a depot. Col. Grav told us that this was in contemplation and that he had an option on the property, but that it was by no means certain that the depot would be established there.
