The Stateaille Landmark ha a
judicious editorial on tbe movement
to create eycral new counties, sod
especially one out of Iredell and
Rowan and Cabarrus. How many
counties it i proposed to Ircct du
ring the present sesion we cannot
say, but some half doxen sets of men
are urging tbe creating of as many
counties. I be Landmark says:

As a general thing movement of
thi kind originate with very few,
who aro cn the make, and who aro
themselves not greatly suffering from
lecooveoieuce. Tho landmark shows
that the proposition to erect a new
county cut of the territory or the
three counties named would be a

the manipulation of axe grinders. It
