Referring to what we said about
the Legislature electing- persons of
of its body to the Railroad Commis
sion, the New Berne Journal says:
"Very true, but a man's 'fitness' for a re
sponsible position nowadays is generally
measured by the amount of work he has
done for the party. Is it 'strangely im
modest' for magistrates to elect county com
missioners from their own body f This is
not prophecy but an accomplished fact."

The Washington Star has a long
account of a duel that occurred near
Washington in 1846, between two
North Carolinians Dr; David John-
'son, brother of the late Dr. Charles
EL Johnson, ot Raleigh, and Mr.'
Thos. F. Jones, a prominent lawyer
of the Murfreesboro country. John-
son was killed at the first fire. It
grew out of a. domestic scandal. We
well remember when it occurred.'
Jones was in the Legislature at one
time and was a man of talents: The
account says:
Mr. Jones and his party were arrested '
on the field by constables from Washington
A coroner's jury was empaneled, and a
long harangue was made by a village law
yer. The jury brought in a verdict of wil
ful murder, and committed the parties to
jail. Judge Dorsey was sent for, and im
mediately appeared and took cognizance of
the case. He at onee released the witness
on bail, and discharged the second and
surgeon. At the meeting of the court two
months afterward the grand jury refused
to find a bill of indictment, and Mr. Jones
returned to his home."
During the late canvass the Star
showed that according to the census
of 1880, there were soma 69,000 elec
tors in the State who did not exer
cise their right to vote. The Pitts
boro Record says the largest vote
ever cast in that county was for
President in 1880, when 4,090 was
the total. The census of the pre
ceding Jane called for 4,862. So
there were about 800 voters who
stayed at home. This has been the
case generally since the war. The
State would go Democratic by 30,-
000 majority if all men would vote.

The Moore - Gazette in"its last issue
boasts of a fiddle in that county that is 112

now owned by Mr. James Moore of this

America many years ago by Commodore
W. E. Boudinot, of. this place, to whom,
while an officer in the United States navy,
it was given in 1843, at Cape Town in Af
rica. The violin Was repaired in 1742 (141
years ago), as is shown by an inscription on
it, and the gentleman, who gave it to
Commodore Boudinot, assured him that
it was made in 1642, nearly two
and a half centuries ago !
The Legislature has very properly pass

instead of five as heretofore. There

must be hurried up. It will not do to give

Deiitr action of a Large Warehouse and
20)000 Sack of Salt Loss Covered
by Insurance..
Yesterday-afternoon, about half-past'4
o'clock, the alarm was sounded for fire in
the sixth fire district, which comprises that
I portion of the city on the west side of the
Cape Fear river. The flames were soon
discovered issuing ' f Jom the roof of the
warehouse belonging to Mr. A. A. Willard
The 'steamer "A. Adrian" happened to be
the only engine ready for the emergency at
the moment, the horses of the "Little Giant'-
and the "Cape Fear" being engaged in
hauling for the streets. AH were
quickly on hand, however, , but con
siderable delay was experienced, . in
j getting the "Adrian"- ffie only steamer
sent over on a fiat, but when that was ac
complished the little Nyce had her. in the
vicinity of the fire in very short order. In
the meantime) however, the flames had
gained such headway that very little could
be done except to save adjoining property.
In fact the fire had pretty much done its
work. The frequent explosions in the
building at one stage of the conflagration
had a demoralizing effect in some instances,
particularly in the case of a business man,
holding forth in the. neighborhpod of Mul
berry and Water streets, who was4iurry-
ing in the direction of the wharf, but com
menced a rapid backward movement when
told that the explosives were powder cans
and that the magazine was close by.
The warehouse was stored with about
fifteen to twenty thousand sacks of salt, the
property of Mr. Willard, and it is thought
that the loss on the warehouse and con
tents will aggregate about $15,000, which is
fully covered by insurance in floating poli
cies. The Are was thought to have originated
from a spark from the smokestack of a
steamer which had left the wharf but a few
moments before the flames were discovered.
Tne Board of County Commissioners
Visit oar Graded School.
In response to an invitation from Mr.
Noble, who has charge of the Graded
Schools of this city, the Board of County
Commissioners visited the Schools yester
day, accompanied by some other gentlemen,
in a body, and witnessed the present modes
of teaching. They were greatly impressed
with the order, quietness and neatness of
the pupils, both white and colored, as well
as the evident competency of the teachers,
all of whom appear to be interested in the
truly good work in which they are engaged.
If our citizens would take the time to visit
these Schools, they could not fail to be
greatly pleased, and all those engaged in
the laborious work of teaching would ,be
encouraged and feel that their work in the
interest of the rising generation is appre
ciated.
The employment of Mr. Noble as gene
ral supervisor of all the graded schools of
the city has proved a move in the right di
rection. Visitors, as we understand, are welcome
at all times, and so perfect is the order
that.you may enter the room and you will
scarcely be noticed, each one being intent
upon his or her duties.
