STnnhprrl i being declared foolish as well as false, and Ministers Hnrlbut and Kilpatrick are pronounced innocent. It is unanimous. Hugh S. Thompson, Democratic nominee for Governor of South Caro- Una, ha, been Snperintendent of Public Instruction since 1876. He i j , , ,, had declined re-election. He was not thought to be a candidate for TT , . , , Ixovernor. He was the dark horse, Generals Kennedy and Bratton were i. j-a mt , the candidates. Ihompson led on the first ballot and was elected on the second. The Charleston Neics and Courier says of Jiim: "As Superintendent of Education, no Southern State or Northern State has his superior; and he has the knack of attaching to him every one with whom he is thrown. The attention paid to the colored schools as well as to the white schools will redound to the advantage of the Democracy in a most unexpected way." As it requires much more ability to make a first-rate Superintendent than a Governor we have no doubt he will make a superb Governor. "Northern papers publish the following: A North Carolina physician having repeat edly used the term 'scalawag' on the wit ness stand the other day. was asked by the Judge what he meant by it, and replied : 'I mean a man who says that he is no bet tcr than a negro, and when he says so tells the truth.' That Doctor knows a thing or two. Exchange. Here is an instance of how soon a thing becomes corrupted in the news papers. Two or three weeks ago the Tarboro Southerner gave the above, but stated it was said by Rev. Dr. Closs. .Now it is a physician who said it. It did not happen the other , . day, but many years ago. Here is a new wrinkle for those in- j tj ur tt . i.- terested. Lady Margaret Hntchm- son, youngest daughter of the late , , , . , Earl of Donoughmore, was married recently, and here is the description given of -herself and page: "The bride wore a short dress of cream figured satin, with lace apron and ruffles, and over a wreath of orange blossoms a spotted lace veil. Her page, Lord Suir dale. was dressed in yellow satin brocade, with stockings and shoes of the same color, and an old gold-colored satin hat with a yellow feather. The service was choral." There were no bridesmaids. Of course Arthur's veto is all the topic in Washington. Well, what is said? The following answer we take from the letter in the Richmond Dis patch from the Federal Capital: "The comment is that the veto will give the Democrats fifty majority in the next House. Democrats also say that it will convince the Southern people that they will look in vain for any substantial benefit from the President and his Administra tion." . Here is the best commentary we have met with on Arthur's last effort at vetoing. It appears in the Philadelphia Times and reads: "President Arthur to Congress: That River and Harbor bill is a shameless steal ; I can't approve it unless you allow me to control the stealings." That is the very size and .meaning of that specious message. Spirits Turpentine. Mrs. L. A. Williams died at Warren ton on the 29th ult. from an over dose of morphine.

In addition to those who were received into the chureh the Sunday previous, we had the pleasure of receiving nine more, six of whom were baptized, which makes forty-eight received in all. Rev. C. M. .Payne writes from Lexington : I noticed all along the line of j the railroad a fine promise for good crops. In this part of the State they are now feel ing the effects of the dry weather failure last year, but they made an abundant oat and wheat crop, and fruit is very plentiful. I noticed in Lexington and here gratifying evidences of the growth of the Redeemer's. Kingdom. They have completed and paid for a beautiful manse at Lexington.

To bee or not to bee," was the question with one of the colored deputies in front of the court house yesterday, and I the bee had it by a large majority. It was a stinging remark one of the bystanders made when the officer was dancing around so lively, but the effects of its venom was neutralized when another bystander applied a little moist tobacco to the sufferer's neck, and at last accounts the main question at issue was in Statelier quo. Mayor Court. There were several cases of minor im portance before this Court yesterday morn ing. The nrst called was that ol Isaac Davis, colored, charged with quarrelling with a woman on the streets in a boisterous manner, and he was required to fork over $4 or go below for four days. Sally Ann Davis, alias Sally Ann Mc- Kinsey. was arraigned for acting disorderly on the streets. It came out in evidence that she bad at one time been an inmate of the insane asylum.and as she was evidently still laboring under the effects of her form er aberration, she was sent below to await further examination into her case. Henrietta Washington,- a small colored girl, charged with being disorderly on the streets at a late hour at night, was sent be low for five days. The festive, frolicksome Scipio Hill, so fond of the bevefage that runs from he at the Front Street M. E. Church Wednes still, was called up again for being "drunk day evening. and down," and told that he was really a nuisance to the town ; whereupon he was hustled down below for ten days, with the hope that it may tend to amending his ways. One of the Excursionists tbat Paid Dear for his Trip. We learn that one of the excursionists from the neighborhood of Goldsboro got himself into a right serious scrape while at Smithville on Wednesday. He is said by some to be a young man of good habits and excellent reputation, but in the giddy whirl of excitement and confusion with which be was surrounded, and being in a strange place, he indulged too freely in in toxicating beverages, and, ere he was aware of it, was so tipsy that he didn't know how to behave himself. While in this state he . came across a young lady, the daughter of a respected citizen of Smithville, and snatched a kiss- from her, and some say passed his arm around her, for which lib erty the unsophisticated youth (as wo have the charity to presume him to have been) was soon after arrested and taken be fore the Mayor of the town, who sentenced him to pay a fine of $50 and the costs; and we learn that he' only escaped imprison ment as a part of the penalty of his indis cretion through the intercession of friends. monthly Police Report.

The meeting at the Court House last evening, for the purpose of organizing a Central Bennett and Green Club, was largely attended despite the bad weather, and the Club was organized under the most flatter ing auspices. The meeting was called to order by the selection of Mr. W. A. Wil liams as temporary Chairman and Mr. R. H. Pickett as Secretary. On motion, T. B. Kingsbury, Esq., Col. E. D. Hall, Col. Roger Moore and Mr. Jno. C James were appointed a committee on Permanent Organization and on Constitu- tion and By.Laws. Pending the report of the committee, Mr. j. h.

Willard. The committee, after some discussion, were allowed until the next meeting to re port a constitution and by-laws. Col. Hall on taking his seat made a short but earnest and timely speech on the im portance of preparation for the coming contest. Short speeches were also made by Mr. T. B. Kingsbury and Col. Roger Moore in response to calls, both dwelling on the necessity of organization, and briefly touching on the questions at issue. On motion, Messrs. W. B. McKoy, W. P. Oldham and Martin S.

Joseph Telfair and John H.

John H. Giles was before Justice Gard ner on the charge of committing assault and battery upon Wright Simmons, and was required to pay one penny and the costs; and then the thing was reversed, Wright Simmons being convicted and or dered to pay one penny and the costs for assaulting and battering John Giles. John Nixon, charged with committing an assault and battery upon a small colored boy, named Charles Smith, and blacking his eye, was ordered to pay one penny and the costs. The Excursionists.
