The Reformers in New York State
do not'seem to favor either Whitney

Manning is a sharp party manipula

Lincolnton Press : Last year
Mr. J. O. Toutherow, of this county,
raised 1,600 pounds of tobacco on two acres
of land near town. ; Some idea of the qual
ity of tbe tobacco may be formed from tbe
fact that Mr. Toutherow was offered 25
cents per pound or . $400 for the lot by, a
Shelby tobacco firm last - week. : A
few weeks ago - we published an item rela
tive to a fight between Miles Hester, "the
bully of the Big'Ore Bank," and George

though Stiller got the : "beBt of it" in the

warrant against Hester: In the meantime
Hester procured a marriage license, "stole"
Stiller 's daughter, made his escape and
was married to her.

Trnek Farming:.
We had the pleasure of a call yesterday
from Mr. T. -B.-Maesey, of Oak Grove,
Westmoreland county. Virginia, but for
merly of Maryland, who is here on a pros
pecting tour with the view of purchasing
land and going into the truck farm busi
ness on an extensive scale. Mr. Massey
was led to visit our immediate section on
this errand from reading an" article in the
Stab from Mai. W. L. Young on the
"Semi Tropical Area," which he contends
embraces the .country round about
this . city. He had the paper in
his pocket yesterday, and was much
struck by the views there advanced. Mr.
M. says that if he becomes sufficiently eat-c
isfled by what he sees to decide upon em
barking in the business here, others of his
friends will follow. He will spend severa
days herein looking around, and we hope
that he will be afforded every facility in
his investigations that he may require.
An Exciting Runaway.
A wagon team, belonging to Capt T. J.
Southerland, started somewhere on Front
street yesterday morning and ran away.
Dash ing down Front to: Princess street,
they turned that corner and were running
furiously in the direction of Second, being
nearly abreast of the stables, where a young
colored man named Jamie Wbitty, in the
employ of Capt. Southerland, rushed out,
threw himself by the side of the frantic
horses, seized the one next to him by the
head-gear and instantly arrested them in.
their wild flight, seemingly at tbe imminent
danger of his life. Those 'who witnessed,
the dangerous exploit, among whom were
several who have had much experience in
the matter of looking after horses, say that
it was well done. But for the sudden stop
pace serious damage might have resulted to
the wagon and team, if nothing else. As
it was, if there was any injury it was very
slight. - .

applause, and her acting was excellent

In discussing the Judicial Bill in the
House of Representatives, last Tuesday,
Mr. Womack stated that he held in his
hand, a petition signed by 1,000 tax payers
of New Hanover county asking that the
Criminal Court be abolished. Surely, there
must be some mistake about this matter.'
We knew there was opposition to the
Court, but we had never heard that it had
reached the formidable proportions of
"1,000 tax-payers." The friends of the
Court should give that petition a careful
examination.
