Milton Chronicle : We are pained to henr of the death of Mr. Robert W. Grave, an aged and highly esteemed citizen of ihia county. He was struck with paralysis, recently, and died a few days ago. Rumor has it that Mr. W. J. Best, and his associates in the purchase, have nut yet taken charge of the Western North! .Carolina Railroad. Saturday last. May 15th, was the day set apart to turn over the property to the new purchasers, but it is said nobody appeared to receive it from the representatives of the State- Monroe Express-. After a care ful survey of the field .we. are convinced that Col. R. T. Bennett's chances for the nomination are better than those of any other gentleman named in that connection. Apparently Col. Johnston, of Charlotte, is leading in the race, but we feel certain that whoever the nominee is it will not be Col. Johnston. Asheville Journal (Rep.) : Let us remind the editor of the Star that the Republicans want the strongest, best and ablest men in their ranks to run, for we think it decidedly more honorable to beat Buch men than to beat just anybody like Jarvis, Robinson & Co. We rexgoing to carry the State by a handsome malority, let who will run. Charlotte Observer: It is under stood that the new owners of the Virginia Midland are even more anxious than ever to reach Charlotte, and that the recent sale of that corporation only puts it in a better condition to carry out the projected South ern extension .

He weighed 262 pounds net, and bad killed and wounded ttiree or four dogs before he finally gave in. 4 We learn from "H.V letter ir& Hale's Weekly that the driver who drove his horses over Mrs. Parks has been sentenced to thirty days in prison and a fine of $50 that Rev. Charles Phillips is much im proved -that three North Carolinians were amongst the recent graduates at the Gene ral Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church, namely: S. Paxton W utters, a native of Wilmington; Walter J. Bnntn, or Scotland Neck, and one whose name was not caught. Morganton Blade: We still con tinue to hear from all section of the county that the fly and frost have greatly damaged the wheat crop, and tnat rust Has made us appearance in many places. That supposed nugget of silver found by Mr. G. W. Harris, in July, 1878, near Licit Creek, Davidson county, and which proved to be meteoric iron, nag neen analyzed Jjy that eminent authority, Dr. J. Lawrence Smith, with the following result: Iron, 96.62; nickel, 2.85; cobalt, .39; phospho rus. .17; copper, a trace; aggregate, 99.94. There was a residue in making the solu tion, but this is dedncted in making the cal culation. A fellow named S. P. Mull, weighing over 200 pounds, assaulted the local editor of the Greensboro Patriot, who weighs 108, with a buggy-whip. He also struck twice at our friend.Capt. Fulghum, when he was arrested. He afterwards knocked a man down, when he was jailed. Threats of lynching were made. The Patriot says: "Hundreds of onr citizens came to us expressing warmest sympathies and indignation at tne cowardly attack. All during the night and on the following day little knots of men could be seen stand ing on the corners talking excitedly, and this morning the approach of the trial started the excitement afresh." Raleigh Observer: The police have been uniformed in a suit of dark blue, sack coats, with while straw hats. The name of Wm.

As a matter of interest to people who intend visiting Asheville we mention that trains are now running across the Blue tRidge, without changing cars or unloading freight, to Long's, within six miles of Asheville.

"The brave little fellow has both hands terribly burned, and are so lacerated that the fingers on both bands are drawn up, and the pains are excruciating. Still, he was at tbe funeral of Miss Chapman this afternoon, but was very weak and pale, and was supported by a young man on one side and a young lady on the other." Lumberton Robesonian : There seems to be, an unusual amount of pros perity in the country. The farms are be coming much neater, and many new bouses and fences are being built. We learn that Mrs. Moon had a very pleasant meet ing at Asbury Church in this county, which resulted, in several conversions. Col. Edward Cantwell, of Wilmington, delivered two lectures in this town last week. Judge Cantwell is a fine speaker, and bis lectures were very interesting. The Ashpole Baptist meeting still continues. Twenty two members have been added, and large crowds are daily seeking religious instruc tions under the ministerial influence of tbe Rev. F. M. Jordan. John Mclver, alias Ben Rawlins, an escaped convict from the penitentiary, who has been working at Mr. Phillip's mill occasionally for the last eighteen months, was arrested in this town last Tuesday morning. We are pleasd to learn that Col. Murdoch McRae is about starting a cotton factory. Tne Clement at tachment will be used.

C, May 19,1880. Robert P. Smith, Chilesburg, Va., writes , "As for Tutt's Pills I don't know how I could do without them. I have had the Liver disease for over twenty years. Two years ago I got your pills. They have entirely cured me. I always keep them. . I My neighbors know I have them and send to me for them. They always speak in the highest terms of them." v a; MAY 20. 1880. The American Vnion. Mr. Robert Morton, Superintendent of the American Union Telegraph Company, was here yesterday. He called on us and informed us that the wires of the new com pany would reach Wilmington some time during the month of Juno. He gave us a map showing the present extent of its lines and the actual and proposed con nections. The American Union claims that it has erected over 25,000 miles of new wire.leased the lines of the Dominion Telegraph Com pany of Canada, made so exclusive con tract with the new French Atlantic Cable Company, and established connections with the lines of many important railroad com panies, as shown on the map, giving in it all systems of lines in the United States and Canada of 50,000 miles of wire and 1,550 offices, and also cable communication with Europe. As its lines have reached the various larger cities they have been opened for bus iness at the prevailing rates, and even under these circumstances theresult has been most liberal and emphatic; Mr. Morton states that the American Union has secured telephonic connection in nearly all the principal cities of the United States, and calls attention to the fact that a decision was rendered by Judge Thayer, in St. Louis, on the 17th, giving tbe Amer ican Union equal facilities in tbe telephone exchange of that city wittuany other tele graph company. magistrate' Conn. Susan Mary Franks and Dorcas Franks, two colored damsels, were before Justice McQuigg, yesterday morning, on the charge of committing assault and battery. Defen dants were ordered to be released on the payment of costs, in default of which they were committed to jail. Lucy McKinsey was arraigned before Justice Millis on the charge of wilful tres pass upon the property of Daniel Williams, bpth colored. Judgment was suspended on the payment of costs, from which de cision defendant appealed to the Criminal Court, and was ordered to give bond in the sum of $50 for her appearance. Mary Giles was up before Justice Gard ner on tbe charge of slandering Virginia Easterling. Defendant was ordered to give bond in the sum of $50 for her appearance at the next term of the Criminal Court, in default of which she was committed to jail Tne Exchange lp Close, bm No Sus pension of Business. There was a meeting of the Produce Ex change yesterday at noon to take into con sideration the propriety of closing the Ex change and suspending business to-day, tbe 104th anniversary of the Mecklenburg De claration of Independence. After a pretty warm discussion it was finally decided to close the Exchange, but not to suspend business, which amounts to a distinction with a mighty little difference. In ether words, the Exchange will be closed, but the members thereof may do as much business as they please. Bobbery of a Colorea Preacher. Tbe study of Rev. W. H. Banks, pastor of theEbenezer (colored) Baptist church, was entered on Monday night last and robbed of about $30 in money. Entrance was effected by the aid of a false key, and the bottom of the drawer in which the money was locked up was prized off. Some of the silver was found on the floor under tbe drawer. Suspicion rests npon a certain party, but no positive clew has been obtained as to the identity of tbe robber. census Enumerators. The number of census enumerators for this city is now complete, Messrs. Archie Alderman and James W.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. A Card. AB THBRK HAVK BEBN VARIOUS STATU meats of the proceedings of the Brunswick County Convention, the undersigned, who were present and witnessed the occurrences of that day, deem it their duty to give a truthful account of the affair. When the Convention met Samuel R. Chinnis, Xsqr., was nominated for Chairman against Dr. W. O. Curtis. Mr. Chinnis was elected Chairman by a fair majority, which was effected by a good number of the McKoy men who voted for him on the pre sumption that the Delegates were to be afterwards elected by the Convention, and these very men who voted for him afterwards withdrew. When Mr. George H. Bellamy moved that the choice of the Convention as between Maj . stedman and McKoy should be ascertained, a great deal of neise and confusion ensued, four men talking at the same time, and in the midst of this Babel the motion that the Chair appoint Delegates was put and the negative vote was not even taken. In this way a snap judgment was taken very much to the disgust of those desiring fair play. Dr. Curtis was then called on to calm the excite ment, which was intense and disgraceful. He (Or. C.) moved that the Convention adjourn to meet at a future time and place (for reasons already given in the published accounts). Dr. Curtis' motion was put in a garbled manner, and the McKoy men dis pelling of fair play withdrew. Immediately on the withdrawal the undersigned were requested to make the count of both sides and counted fifty-seven men in the McKoy party, all citizens of Brunswick county, and sixty-three in the Stedman party, amongst whom were Messrs. Stedman. Darby, urimths. Gore and others, not voters. We believe that previous to Major 8 tea man's arrival en the ground we had a large maierity, and that even hispresemce did not much affect the status of the McKoy side, and for an endorsement of this paper we refer to any fair minded, un prejudiced man on the ground at the time; JOHND. BELLAMY, JB , W. B. MoKOY, may SO It E. H. KING. The Brunswick Bolt. Card from a Majority of the Demo cratic Executive Committee- WB, THB UNDERSIGNED MEMBERS OF the Democratic Executive Committee of Brunswick county, being four of the seven mem bers of the committee, and all that were present, certify that we were present and participated in the deliberations of the Democratic Convention which met at McKeithea's store on Monday, the 17th inst The sentiment of the Convention before and after the Bolt was overwhelmingly ia . favor of Major Charles M. stedman, the Stedman candidate being elected chairman by a vote of over two to one. There was no excuse whatever for the Bolt, and the cause was simply that the McKoy men were in a hopeless minority. The Convention was amass convention, regularly called upon two weeks' no tice, as was done in Sampson and other counties.; A. W. RIEGBR. Chm'n, WM. W. DREW, F. M. MOORE, myl9 3t nac J.H.DOSHER. Brunswick County. A Card. J HEREBY CERTIFY THAT I ATTENDED the Democratic Mass Convention, held in Bruns wick county, May 17, and was a witness to its pro ceedings. The sentiment of the Convention, even before the bolt of Judge McKoy's friends, was very largely in favor of Maj. Stedman for Congress ; and on a test vote for Chairman between Mr. Sam uel R. Chinnis, the Stedman candidate, and Dr. W. G. Curtis, the McKoy candidate, (to decide which the voters were separated into two bodies), I am confident that the Stedman men outnumbered the McKoy men over two to' one. my 19 st nac W. I. GORE.
