The opening of t'ue fall ses sion of Pitts boro Scientific Acad- om v has heen nostnonnd till the 4th of September. The largest sweet potato that we have seen this season was raised by Mr. M. T.

Eubanks & Co., at Love corner, near theJourt-house, carry a line of coffins and caskets. Prices right. Orders filled by one of 8 years experience in the busi ness. At the Democratic primaries, on last Saturday, many persons participated and will vote our ticket next November who had heretofore voted with the Popu lists and Republicans. A former section foreman on the Pittsboro railroad, named D. T. Williams, tried to kill his wife and two daughters whiledrunk at Raleigh one night last week. He was sentenced to the roads for twelve months. The aspirants for the Demo cratic nomination in this count' conducted their canvass on a high plane, and, while every man wish ed to be successful, he-did not re sort to any under-hand methods, and hence no sting is left. The defeated aspirants and their friends will now, of course, jrive the nominees the same cor dial support which they would have expected if they had be?u successful. There will 03 no sink ing or scratching. Received this week an ad vanced shipment of fall and win ter shoes at W. L- London & Son's. They make a specialty of shoes, handling only the standard makes in both heavy and light grades. See their stock before you buy.

London & Son's Popu lar Store. Mr. William O. Farrell re quests us to return his thanks for the very complimentary vote, which was given him for county commissioner, and to say that none will support the Democratic nominees more heartily than he and his friends. A contract has been made to erect a monument to the Confeder ate soldiers of Robeson county at a cost of nearly $4,000. It has not been a year ago since the monu ment was proposed, and yet in nearly three years' time only about $1300 have been raised for the monument to Chatham's sol diers! A postoffice inspector was here last week and rode over a ratal free delivery route which the residents of that section wish to have established on the road running from here by the county home. We hear that he will not recommend its establishment be cause of the creeks too often be- ing patt fording. ' : ' ' On Wednesday night of last week, at 8 o'clock, "Miss Florence Hatch, a daughter of Mr. Artemus Hatch, was united in marriage to Mr. J. M.

Court adjo'urned unexpectedly on last Thursday afternoon, soon er than was expected, because several of the cases were com promised which were expected to take two or three days to try. In the case of Charles Faucett against the Seaboard Air Line Railway the jury rendered a ver dict in favor of the plaintm for 650. He was a colored brakeman who was jerked from the top of a freight train by the rope on the pipe of a water tank that had been left hanging over the track. The case of L. G. Cherry and others against the Cape Fear Power Company and others is an action for the recovery of a tract of 480 acres of land on Cape Fear river near the Buckhorne dam. The plaintiffs are the heirs of the late J. A. Harmon and wife, who made a deed in fee for the land in 1868 to II. H. Prince- The plaintiffs allege that Harmon and wife had only a life estate m the land and that they were entitled to it after the death of Harmon and wife. The judge decided that, while this was true, the statute ot limitations barred all the plain tiffs except two of Harmon's daughters who had married when under twenty-one years of age- Judgment was rendered in favor of those two plaintiffs and against the other plaintiffs. Both sides appealed to tli-i Supreme Court. Tno caso .of Walter Fei-guson against J. George Hannah was an action to enforce specific pei -formance of a contract to sell a tract of land and for damages. After all the evidence was intro- duced, at the suggestion of the judge, a compromise judgment was agreed to by which the de fendant pays back to plaintiff the '100 paid him, and the plaintiff pays to defendant the value of the wheat crop made on the land by him- This had been proposed by the defendant before suit was brought. The case of J. J. Thomas and wife against the Seaboard Air Line Railway was an action for damages by fire to their land. It was compromised by a judgment for 75 to plaintiffs and each par ty paying his own cost-!. Lee Hilliard, as administrator of Eliza Hilliard, against the Dur ham & Charlotte Railroad Com pany was an action for damages for killing her by the. train knock ing her off the track at Carbon toa. The defendant alleged that she was killed throHgh her own negligence by trying to walk across the track in front of a moving train. At the conclusion of the plaintiff's evidence the judge decided that he could not recover. There were two cases wherein S. W. Willett was plaintiff dnd Atlantic Coast Railroad Company was defendant, being appeals from a justice's court- Both cases were compromised without a trial, one for $120 and the other for $10 to be paid plaintiff. The cause of action was the delay in delivery of certain freight. There we're also three divorce cases, in.6ach of which a divorce was granted and in two of them the parties were white. One was the case of Julius Morphis against Melissa Morphis; one was L. N. Webster against Carrie Belle Webster, and the third was A. G. Iddings against N. A. Hag wood and Isham Hasrwood. The last named case is the first divorce suit thakwe have ever heard of wherein there were two defend ants In this case the wife had left her husband several years ago, had obtained a divorce from him and had married another man, and she and her second hus band were the defendants in this suit. ' - On the appearance docket are twenty-two cases against the Cape Fear Power Co. brought by some of the land owners on the river between Lockville and the Buckho'rne dam, because of the new dam backing water on their land. By an order of Judge Pur- nell all these cases ... are to be transferred to the Federal court at Raleigh for trial, as the Cape Fear Power Company. is now in the charge of two receivers ap pointed by Judge Purnell.

There being no further business the convention then adjourned with everybody in good humor and well pleased with its good work. A more harmonious con vention was never held in this couuty, and it was well called "a Democratic love feast." There was not a discordant note sounded nor any -unpleasant incident oc curred -to mar. the harmouv that should alwavs prevail at evervi Democratic convention. While every man aid not get his hrst choice in every nomination, and, as a matter of course, some, were dis appointed, yet everybody went away satisfied. There was no grumbling or "kicking" whatever (as there usually is after most conventions), and there was not the slightest suggestion of unfairness. any this had Among the delegates at convention were several who heretofore voted the Populist and Republican tickets, and our nomi- nees win not nave anv more en thusiastic supporters thia u:;.y are. We are pleased to k::ow Ui those delegates represent a ,; t. number of former Povmiists ; Republicans, who will vote our ticket at the n3xt election. With their aid and with such harmony in our r'-mks the uuterrificd Demo crats of Chatham will elect oni entire ticket by an overwhelming majority, and don't you forgot it! Our nominees, at least most of them, ai-e well known throughout the couu;ty. The nominee for Sen ator was-our member of the House in the last Legislature. He was born nd.veared, and is now living, on a farm and is a farmer and school teacher. The nominee for the Housje was born and reared at this place,, graduated at the Uni versity inll8i)y, then studied law and has been practising here for nearly four years. The friends of temperance need not have any fears of either of our legislative nomiuees ', taking any backward step in temperance legislation. The renomination of our clerk, sheriff and register shows how our people appreciate their faith ful discharge of the duties cf their respective offices. Every one of them' will be re-elected by an increased majority. The man agement of our county affairs can safely be entrusted to our nomi nees for commissioners. Thev J all "safe, sane and sober."

Gentlemen; - We want to donate some L. & M. Paint to your church wheneyer they paint. The largest Methodist church in Georgia expected to use 100 gallons of the usual kind of paint, they only used 32 gallons L. &M. mixed with 24 gallons Linseed Oil. It costs less to paint a house with L. M. than with other paint, because painter mixes Linseed Oil fresh from the barrel, at 60 cents a gallon with L. & M., and doesn't pay 11.50 per gallon for 'Linseed Oil as dona if ready-for-use paint is used.
