Mr. Reid, of Mass., who is here prospecting for the purpose of establishing a shoe factory in Durham. On the ar rival of last evening's train President K. P. Battle was met at the depot by 75 ttudents with 100 feet of rope attached to a top bug- fy and by force was placed therein and auled through mud and mire to the Cam pus, under the light from 25 torches. The President made a brief but happy talk and thanked the boys for the ride. The' result of his efforts in securing the appropriation to the University is fully appreciated.

Mabry that the' collision on the Ducktown Road Thursday was caused by a discrepancy in the watches UBed by the conductors. Mr. Charles F. Pelham died at the Western Insane Asylum at Morganton, yesterday morning. Mr. Pelham had made many friends in oar city, who were grieved at his recent affliction, which terminated in his death, under the most deplorable circum stances. - -y.y &legti Visitor: Speaking of the voting Texan who was hung by Eil- Eatrick order, Dr. Warren says: "Gen. Jlpatrick immediately gave orders to have them pursued and hung within ten minutes after Jfcwere captured, and said if this were not done he would hold somebody re sponsible for the act They were pursued. captured and brought to the capitol grounds and there hung, just after Gen. Kil patrick had taken possession of the public building in the name pf the United States." The italics are ours. Only one man was pursued, and only one man was hung. He was not hung in the capital grounds but on a tree near where the new Governors mansion is now being built He was buried in the Confederate cemetery. There are other errors of a glaring charac ter. We have it in our power to set the matter right. Lin coin ton Press; A large ho tel, to contain thirty rooms, is to be imme diately erected at the new town of Mt. Holly. . The handsome depot at that place is about completed and other substantial improvements are on - foot. We are sorry to learn that the wheat crop is look ing badly. We are told that on an ave rage there is not more than half a stand, and what is left is yellow . and dwarfed. The price of onions is now one dollar per bushel, about double what it . was two , weeks ago. The interest in the projected railroad frpm ML Holly to Denver still continued, we are glad to learn, unabated. We are told that $10,000 will be subscribed by the citizens of Denver. We see no earthly ex cuse for the road not being built especially since the bill in aid of branch roads has be come a law. We believe the road would pay a larger dividend than any other road of the same length in the United States and it would develop one of the finest sections m riedmont Carolina. Charlotte Observer: The new furniture factory in this city of Messrs. Elliott & Marsh has commenced work, and is now running on full time. Thev will have'a large lot of newly made furniture reaay tor ampment within a tew days, and already, have a number of orders to fill. The postage paid on the Charlotte Obtener per annum, is in the neighborhood of one thousand dollars. It is a grievous tax, and we therefore welcome the recent reduction by act of Congress.

' They have, swindled the country peo pie out of thousands of dollars. The arrangements have been made by the Sen ate Committee consisting of Messrs. Ran Eom, Sherman and Uawley, and are about the same as four years ago. ' Mr. Sherman will be ex-President Arthur's escort, and the Vice President elect will be escorted by Mr.' Hawley, while Mr. Ransom and Pres ident Cleveland will form the third couple. The oath of office will be administered by Chief Justice Waite, the ceremony to take place on the inauguration platform, east of the Capitol. Raleigh News- Observer: ' Gov. Vance says of the account given of the in cidents attending the occupation of Ral eigh by Dr. Warren, that they are in sub stantial conformity with his recollection. At a' called meeting of the baseball clubs of this State, held in this city yester day,, Wilmington, . Goldsboro, Durham, Winston, Oxford, Henderson and Raleigh were represented. The object of the meet ing was to organize an association or league to govern games ior the coming season. A permanent .organisation was effected, offi cers elected and committees appointed, and the work of organizing clubs and arrang ing for games was . begun. . But the matter of interest, specially, to Raleigh peo ple is that no less than seven new vineyards are being . planted near Raleigh. CoL Heck gave the names of the owners of these vineyards and the probable number of vines they will have, as follows: Capt. B. P. Williamson 5,000 vines; Messrs. J. B. Burwelland Omega Foster, 6,000 or 8,000; Dr. R.-.H. Lewis, 8,000; Mr. Harry Bilyeu, 5,000 .or. 6,000; Messrs. Wom ble and Batchelor, 5,000; Col. J. M.' Heck, two vineyards, 15,000. There are now near Raleieh two excellent vineyards. One, the Thomasbere, is noted for its wine. It has about 16,000 vines, and there is a quick and ready sale for both Wine and grapes. Mr. William Shellem, near the city, has about 4,000 .vines and is very successful, last season particularly so. In Wake county there, are about 16,000 children of the lawful common school ages, scattered over the entire county. -The school districts in this county are about four miles square. The smallest number of white children reported from a district is 29, of coilored 18. : The largestrnnmbet of whites U441, of colored 225. After giving every cent possible, and making, I believe, the ; largest appropriation ever made, we are en abled to give $1 63 per scholar only in this county. , The Congressional Temper ance society celebrated its nrty-second an niversary this week tRenresentative Vance. whe is the President of the Society, made an interesting address.

A present will be given to each bearer of a ticket There will be literary exercises, music and refreshments. The following paragraph occurs in a recent letter to the Chicaeo Inter- Ocean: "A curious display from the Greg ory Institute, Wilmington. N. C, teaches quite a lesson in domestic economy. The girls have sent specimens of 'stocking- darning,' and of that still more economical and homely employment known as 'refoot in? old stockings.'

It is illustrated by diagrams and maps. We hope Col. Sloan will be welcomed by a good audience. ' Cotton : .
