Crop Comment. -
Some have been led to believe that
the cotton crop( in this State at least,
Was thirty per cent, larger than last
year. This opinion has been based
upon the fact that up to this time
twenty-three thousand bales have
been received at this port in excess
of the amount received up to the
same date; last year. Conversing
with planters, and isome of them
intelligent .men and -close observers,
they state that the excess in produc
tion in not as large as supposed
granting that there is an excess at alL
They say that the seasons being un
usually favorable cotton opened two
weeks sooner than usual, and. the
bolls opened with a uniformity on the
plant that enabled them to gather
more at one picking than at any time
for many yeara previous. ; If such is
the - case, theT present rush of the
''fleecy staple does . not . indicate, as
many suppose, an excessive crop. -
Whether the cotton crop is better or
not the farmers oh . "a,- general ave
rage,
tion
" must be in. a. better condi
. as. a .result' of: success in
other . agricultural ventures than
cotton," as they are: certainly , pur
chasing supplies more freely than tor
years past. Whenever ; yon see a far-j
met building pew. houses, putting up
plank- fences, imprpying his yards
and gardens and hauling new. furni-j
ture home, you may pnt it down - aa a
sure fact that 'he is doing weU." '

An Interesting case was tried in the
Superior Court yesterday; John D.
Southerland suing for divorce from
Melissa Southerland. The plaintiff
in the case is quite a young man. He
came to this county with his parents
from Duplin three or four years ago
and settled in Federal Point town
ship, ' where he became acquainted
with Miss Melissa Turley, the daugh
ter of Mr. Wm. Turley, a farmer liv
in the neighborhood.. Young Souther
land "kept company" with Miss
Melissa for some months. Although
he might have contemplated matri
mony, .(.he was rather dilatory
about coming to the point and Miss
Turley's father thought it was advis
able to hurry up matters. ,
It was alleged by the plaintiff that
he was waylaid in the woods and
captured, and ' with V a pistol point
ed at ' his head by the father of
the young lady; was Hold that he
must, "marry or die." Seeing that
there was no escape, Southerland re
luctantly 'submitted, and was then and
there joined' "in wedlock with the
young lady by a justice of the peace,
who was with 'the party that made
the capture. Southerland, the re
luctant groom, -said that he accom
panied his bride to her parent's home
but left soon afterwards, and has ever
since refused to. live with her.
The defendant was not present in
the court" room," nor was she repre
