On last Tluirtiduy tbe boiler at the
slfuni saw mill ot Mr. M. J. Jordan,
near (iult in tliia t'ounl', suildeuly
exploded and kdled two men, and
several others narrowly escaped a
horrible death. 1 he killed were two
colored men, one of whom wan tho
fireman, lliey were killed ho ud
denly and quickly that they never
knew what killed them, the topH of
their beads boiti" blown oliand their
"brnins blown out" literally and
scattered on tho wound. A more
horrible eight and a more complete
wreck cannot well be imagined and
was sickoning even to old soldiers
who had witnessed the carnage ol
buttle fields, 'lbo boiler was on
cafed in rock and mortar and when
it exploded iho rocks were hurled iu
all directions, and the boiler itsell
was blown all to pieces and scattered
around tor a considerable distance,
pieces weighing olll) pounds beiiii:
hurled several hundred yards. And
yetslrange to say there were severul
men standing near, some only 1j or
2U feet Irom the boiler, who escu.od
unhurt or only slightly shocked by
Iho explosion, although large rocks
and pieces ol the boiler were hurled
with tnrrilii; lorce all around them.
Why all ol them were mil instantly
killed seems simply miiucliloiis. Mr.
Jordan, tho owner ot the mill, was
standing at tho log carriage, about
15 teet distant from the boiler, and
was knocked down by the concus
sion but escaped unhurt, except a
slight twuiso on the back ot his bead.
Mr. (innrge Frasior was standing
near Mr. .Ionian talking to him
about a bill of lumber, and ho also
was knocked down by the loree ol
the explosion and his right cheek
slightly skinned by a piece ol the
boi.er and his shoulder grazed by u
flying rock. Mr. Isaau J. Hyuttm,
who was iii i to near, escaped without
even a bruise, as also did Mr. (-ohm
Snipes, tho sawyer, who only tiro
minutes bulore tho exphMiou ha
been on ton ol tho boiler lor some
purpose.
The windows in Mr. Jordan's
dwelling, about 1100 yards distant,
wore shattered by the commission
and tho doors torced open. A hole
,vus knov'Ucd in the roof ot the
. I welling by a large rock. The uoisu
id the explosion was heard several
miles, and j.ui'cd the buildings at
(iult, over hail a mile distant. The
root or covering ol the saw mill was
blown away ami scattered all around.
The engine was almost entirely
ruined, and Mr. Jordan's total pecu
iiistry los was considerable, amount
nig lo several hundred dollars.
Wo happened to he at (iull on the
day of the explosion, arriving there
about nalt an hour alter it occurred,
and loti ikI the good people ot that
itsaauy iputt place much excited
over the horrible accident thai had
insl hrppened. The net no at Ihc
j .mil was appalling and will never
lie foi :;olteu by those who w.lutiasod
it. It .vas cm taioly one ol the moat
lerriluo accidents that ha ever oc
curred in this e unity, and il was
only by a mereitul and almost in: rue
lllotis dli-peiisalion ol I'lovilciice
that il was not worse and did Hot

('haih.'.m t'o.w. We are pie tsed
lo know thai the coal deposits in
this cm n'.y a i e now at tract in.; in uch
attention and are being succrsriully
iev loped. For several years tho
F pi c al mine has lice cxtomivi
,y worked, and recently expensive
machinery has been added lo ii-
plant which will ureatly increase
Ihe. output ot this valunh e mine.
1'ic lor the intelligent management
ol .Mr. S. A. Henszey, the energetic
president ot iho Fypt Coal Com
pany, that mine will now do a large
business. The coal louud thdo is
bituminous, but higher up Deep
river, on the old l.vau pUcc, an
excellent quality ot ke'.ii anthracite
coal is now doing mined. This coal
is wilhii. a short distance (about 2UU
yards) of the (i!eudou& (iull ra 1
road, recently constructed trom (iull
tii Deep river clgfil miles, and is he
ing worked by the Black Diamond
Coal Company, a corporation ol
Philadelphia capitalists. Two or
three s'nat'.s have bton sunk to the
depth ot about 10U teet. and the
prospects are very encouraging tor
a deposit ot coal in larye quantities.
Thco shafts aro sunk quite neat
the 111 i 11 0 that was worked during
the war, and the coal from which
was burned by the blockade runners
lhal plied between Wilmington and
Nassau. And it was tor the want of
this semi-anthracite coal that the
famous blockade runner, tho "Ad
vauco", was coin polled on its last
trip to use bituminous coal, which
caused ils capture, lucause its douse
black smoke enabled the Federal
steamers lo follow and overtake it.
A good deal ot this coal has re
cently been shipped to Kaleigh and
other points, and is pronounced by
experts to be of tbo very best quali
y- Aud by the way we notice that
several newspapers havo culled it
Carbonton coal trom Moore county,
whereas it is Chatham coal about aj
and a half from the Moore j
county lino. We made a hurried 1

A Visit to (Jui.F Wo made
hurried visit lu (iult, in this cotiuiv
oient, uecutise it is ono ot theohtcMt
places in this country; having been
settled before tho Hovolulionary war
and Wilcox'e mill thcro was a noted
placo nearly a century and
halt
ago. i he name "dull was
i veil
this place because of a deep hole in
Deep river there. Several tiinesthe
hopes ot its citizens have been raised
only to be disappointed. When the
plank road was eouslriicted there
trom Fayetteville, nearly titty years
a'0, the citions ol Cull' confidently
expected that place to become i(nil
an important point. Again, when
coal was discovered all uround there
bright visions tilled the minds of its
citizens, but the waul of transporta
tion facilities checked the develop
merited thecoal discoveries. Then the
illusory schema of making Deep
river navigable buoyed up thoir
hopes, only lo be disappointed by
the failure of thai project. Finally,
about fifteen years 111:0, the (J. F. &
Y. V. railroad was extended Irom
jg) pt to tiulf and then the latter
place at once built up rapidly and
became one of the most important
stations on that road between Fay
olteville and (irevnsboro'. isoine of
the most prosperous merchants in
the county do business there, and
more col ton is shipped from there
than frem any olhor point in this
county.
Tho future of this old place is now
bright, and its ciii..ns can now
reasonably expect their long delayed
hopes to he realized, il is iiucoiniug
ipiite a railroad centre and will soon
have abundant transportation lacili
lies. In addition to Ihe ('. F. & Y.
Y. railroad another and a compe
ting railroad is now being construct .
ed. It is the Kaleigh &. Western
railroad and will bo a connecting
lino betweed tho Richmond .V. Dan
ville system at Aalieboro' and the
Seaboard Air liiue at Colon, near
Sautord, About ten miles have been
graded and a cousideratile lorce is
rapidly pushing 011 the work. The
roadbed will bo graded as tar a
Harper's X Koads by Juno, and
pussibly (lie entire distance to Ashe
boro' by Christmas. Besides this
new road the (ileiidou it (iull Min
ing and Manufacturing Company,
iu order to develop its mineral prop
erlies, has constructed a railroad
from (iull up tho Valley el Deep
river a diMtini 0 ot eight miles The
building ol' these two roads havo
he 11 nod wiil be of great benclil lo
1 1 nit and the surrounding country.
Uecenllv a valuable stone quarry
lias been opened near (iuit and is
being worked by a Xorlolk conipn
ny, A train road has been buili lo
the quarry from tho (!. F. it Y, V.
railroad. Another and important
improvement at liult is the Keller
mill put up last tall by. Mr. J. M
Mclver, which is making as fine
flour as can be bad any where. Al

Mauy f ai mers toil on year after
year, and wouder why it is they can
: never accumulate moio than a bitie
living. Tbo fact that such a stale of
utfaiis should exist iu a laud &o pros
perous and fertile as oiiih, goes to
show that the management is radical
ly wrong. It is not because you do
not labor hard enongdi, or because
your crops are not productive enough.
We think one great trouble wilh uiaiiy
I'nriuers lies in tbe fact that through
Ibe winter luont be t hey feed th profit s
to their horses, etc , when they are
not earning them one rent.
Now, we think by pursuing tbofol
lowing methods, this leak and lossol
profits could be greatly overcome:
Devote a portiou of your imds to
raising clover, grasses and forage
plants, for buy and pastures. l'y so
doing you can Lave plenty of good
hay lo feed your stock during wiuler,
which will keep tbein iu good coudi
Hull, without so lunch grain, thereby
saving the corn and outs ; also by hav
iug plenty of good pastuio to graze
y our stock ou during the summer and
fall; thereby shortening tbe time ot
feeding, and keeping the horses in
good wui kingoidiir without auy grain,
thus saving the grain that you now
leeii uiictug me summer ami nui.
Uelter still, your lands will increase
iu fertility, so that your hay and pas
tures will increase in quantity and
quality, also your grain crops will
double iu yield ; theieby making dou
blu the amount of grain that you do
make under tbo presuut way of farm
ing, also saving one half the grain
that you now lecd, which would be a
considerable item in tho prosperity of
our farmers.
Tbe season for corn planting will
soon be at baud, ami preparations
therefore should be begun early, that
the corn may bo put iu tbo ground
early and in the best possible coudi
lion, yet, 111 order to plant early, th
ground should not bu broken when
loo wet; better plant late thau have
the ground stirred in such a condition.
Iu cultivating tho crop it is very
important to begin stilling the soil
veiy esriy, even before tbe coin all
comes up wiil have its advantages all
the better, lhis destroys iiiyuads id
weed seeds at tho period of germina
tion, when most easily destroyed, and
by lima early stirring the soil it is
kept from packing by too long stand
ing unstirred, waiting fur the corn !
get sutlieieutly high for plowiug. 'Ihe
il 11 0 mentioned stirring is tie.-.t done
with a barrow, l'iow deep at tbo
fust cultivation, as il lets iu air and
warmth' to the roots better; afier
which give shallow, level 1-ultivutiou.
I believe our farmers sliouid lest new
