Among the Con fed- ons Capt Landers was notified erate troops in this battle the first train Monday that teal business began. When the reg istration books closed Wednes day night 730 students had reg istered. This is an increase over last year at this same time of forty-one. Students, delayed for various reasons, are coming in daily, and it is expected that the total reg istration for the year will be over 825. Two Persians, one Chinese and one Cuban are in fnn nilmtww TH -rkeVirttir Iqcc numbers approximately 25U. It is the largest in the history of the University.

Longstreet's corps from the army of Northern Virginia, which had been sent from Vir ginia to re-enforce Bragg's army. Notwithstanding the Confed erates won a victory it did not result in anything decisive, be cause it was not vigorously push ed. According to the official re port of Gen. HallecC, at that time the General-in-Chief of the Union armies, their "right and part of the centre had been com pletely broken and fled in con fusion from the field Their left was stubbornly held by Gen. George H. Thomas, and thereby a complete rout was averted. Be cause of his strong resistance in this battle Gen. Thomas was call ed and is known in history as "the Rock of Chickamauga." And, by the way, he was a Vir ginian, an officer in the old army who did not resign and go with his State. Gen. Halleck admits in his offi cial report a loss of 16,351 in killed, wounded and missing, and a loss of 36 cannon, 8,450 small arms and 5,834 infantry accoutre ments. During this battle there were many bayonet charges and both sides fought with desperate valor, but the Federals could not withstand the continued charges of the Confederates, and, as stated by Gen. Halleck, the Fed eral right and centre were bro ken and fled in confusion. Al though Gen. Thomas on the Fed eral left made a stouter resist ance yet he deemed it prudent to withdraw his command from the battlefield that night and retired to Chattanooga. It is somewhat remarkable that some of the generals on both sides (Confederate and Federal) were severely criticised on ac count of their aetion in this bat tle. A court of inquiry was or dered by the President of the United States to investigate the conduct of Maior-Generals Mc- Cook, Crittenden and Negley and inquire why they and their troops left the battlefield. After a full investigation the court of inquiry exonerated these officers from censure, because the truth is they and their troops just could not withstand the impetu ous assaults of the Confederates. On the Confederate side occurred a most remarkable incident, no less than a petition to President Davis, signed by several of the prominent Confederate Genewds, asking him to remove GerfBragg from the command of the army, as being incompetent While this petition was not then grant ed yet later Gen. Joseph E. John ston was appointed in Bragg's place. Gen. Bragg, a few days after the battle, removed Gen. Leonidas Polk, because of al leged failure to carry out his or ders, but President Davis soon restored him to his command and expressed the utmost confidence in him. There were three North Caro lina regiments in this battle, the Thirty-ninth, Twenty-ninth and Fifty-eighth, and they well sus tained the reputation of Tar-Heel" soldiers. Indeed the Thirty-ninth regiment won the proud distinction of having ad vanced the farthest of any Con federate troops and captured a Federal battery of artillery. Our that Moore was charging a high er price than that agreed on, whereupon the captain orde.ed him to be arrested and detained until he could investigate the matter. After being confined in the guardhouse about two hours Moore was released and forbid den to enter the fort again. He was indignant at his arrest and told Capt. Landers that he would get even with him if there was any law to reach him. Complaint was made bv Moore to Senator Overman, who called it to the attention of the War Department and a court martial vas ordered to investigate the matter. The proceedings of the court have been watched, or rather read, with much interest because of the novelty of the case on trial. Capt. Landers testified in his behalf that he did not or der Moore to be confined in the guardhouse, but merely to be ar rested and detained in custody until he could investigate the charge against him. While of course Capt Landers had the right to order Moore, or any oth er civilian, to leave the fort, yet he did not have the right to have him arrested on such an alleged offense and confined in the guard house, and it is natural that Moore should have been indig nant and demanded investiga tion. The result of the trial is not yet known, as the findings of the court martial must be submitted and approved by the proper au thorities at Washington before being published or made known. of Equalization to the local board.' Increase in Tax Valuations. Froir the Raleigh News and Observer. The Corporation Commission certified today to the State Treas urer the tax assessment of rail roads and other public service corporations. Ihe estate Treas urer will at once call on these corporations for the State taxes. The total tax valuation is 1126.- 052,257, compared with $95,444,- 707 previous assessment, thus giving a gain for the new assess ment of $30,607,562. The in crease is 31 per cent. The railroad valuations, as heretofore announced, aggregate $115. 239, 684, and this leaves $10,- 812,583 assessment for the other public service corporations. The increases in assessment follows: Electric light and gas companies from $2,220,408 to $3,303,032; street railway companies from $2,035,296 t $2,559,943; tele graph companies from $922,464 to $925,413; Southern Express Company from $419,099 to $800,- ! 000; Pullman Company from $258,758 to 342, 198; water com panies from $526,794 to $561,907; bridge and canal companies, $176, -550 to $151, 350; refrigerator com panies, $66,341 to $70,048; steam boat companies from $86,750 cut to $71,710; flume companies from $12,850 to $29,020; turnpike com panies, $13,025, same as last year. The increase in land valuations this year is $80,000,000. Knife Blade Fatal After Two Years. Special to the Charlotte Observer. Wilmington. Sept. 15. After carrying! a knife blade 2i inches in length in his head for about two years and suffering no inconvenience whatever from it, Arthur Davis, colored, died at the James Walker Memorial hos pital at last following an opera tion about three weeks ago for removal of the blade. The ope ration was apparently success ful and the negro left the insti tution. But he returned a few days ago and was having convul sions. He grew rapidly worse until he died. He told the hos pital surgeons that in a fight two years ago with George Newberry, colored, he was stab bed in che back of the head. He appeared not to know that the knife blade had been Wrung oil in his cranium and left there. The uncertainties of jury tri als have recently been forcibly illustrated in a case tried in Wa tauga county. A man, named Baldwin, was tried, convicted and sentenced to be electrocuted two years ago in the superior court of that county for murder of the town marshal of Blowing Rock. An appeal was taken to 1,300 Patients at Morganton. Statesville, Sept. 15. R. R Clark, of Statesvill, secretary to the board of directors of the State hospital at Morganton, was in Morganton this .veek to attend the regular quarterly meeting of the directors. Several mat ters of importance were before the board, the most interesting fetture of the meeting being the report of Dr. John McCampbell, superintendent of the hospital, disclosing the fact, that the insti tution is now full and new pa tients can now be admitted only as others are discharged. There were in the hospital August 31, the supreme court and that court anri 809 womn- a tnta j ftf 1 37fi rne report says further: "Dur ing the past two years we have granted a new trial because of error in the judge's charge to the jury. At the new trial he was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to the penitentiary but he again appealed and again the Supreme Court granted him a new trial. The third trial was held re cently and this time the prisoner was acquitted and released. Thus after one jury had convicted him of murder in the first degree and another had convicted him of manslaughter, the third jury ac quitted him. Of course we would not intimate any opinion as to which jury was right, but we cite this case as a striking in stance of the uncertainty of a jury's verdict. been able to admit practically all meritorious cases. This was due to the considerable increase in capacity made by the Sawyer colony and th nurses' home. However, admissions have been so free that we have again reach ed our capacity, and selection of cases and rejection of many that ought to be cared for will be nec essary. ' ' A Dreadful Sight to H. J. Barnum, of Freeville, N. Y., was the fever-sore that had plagued his life for years in spite of many remedies he used Bucklen's Arnica Salve and wrote; "It has entirely healed with scarcely a scar left." Heals burns boils, eczema, cuts, bruises, swellings corns and piles like magic. Only 25c at O. R.Pilkington's. Damaging, Frost in New England. Boston, Sept. 14. Damage of more than half a million dollar.-- dollars was done to New England crops by a heavy frost during the early hours today. With the weather forecaster predicting continued cold weather for to night, farmers in this section are discouraged. A disastrous spring drought then prolonged rains, too late to benefit their products, and-now unexpected frosts have made this a particularly hard year. The Mexico crop in the Con necticut valley received a severe blow from the frost, growers an nouncing the loss on this product alone in Massachusetts and Con necticut wiH be approximately $400,000. Forced to Leave Home. Every year a large number of poor sufferers, whose lungs are sore and racked with coughs, are urged to go to another climate. But this is costly and not always sure. There's a better way. Let Dr. King's New Discovery cure you at home- "It cured me of lung trouble," writes W. R. Nelson, of Cai mine, Ark., "when all else tailed and I gained 47 (pounds in weight. It's surely the king of all cough and lung cures.'' t housands owe their lives and health to it. It's positively guaran teed for coughs, colds, lagrippe, asthma, croup- -all throat and lung troubles. 50c and $1. Trial bottle free at Q. R. Pilkington's. Gov. Kitchin has been very se verely censured by the Granville county newspapers for not ap pointing their countyman, Mr. A. A. Hicks, as the successor of Judge Biggs. They vigorously championed his nomination for Governor, but now they are very bitter in their denunciation of him. An Innocent Spectator. From the Asheville Citizen. Nine people were killed yester day and many more wounded at Syracuse, N. Y., when an auto mobile crashed through a fence and mowed them down like a gi gantic reaper of death. They had gone to the track to see the chauffeurs dare death, and their friends will weep because death did the unexpected thing, the dreaded destroyer sparing the driver and seizing the kind-hearted spectators who had attended on the chance of seeing some one else meet a spectacular finish.

It has been said that the day of mi racles is past but it would seem that something near to a mirac le has actually come to pass in Gaffney. This statement may seem to be rather remarkable, but the following is a remarkable condition of affairs. The bare fact, plainly stated, is that Mrs. L. C. McGuinn, who lives on Limestone street, 70 years and isome months old, with out teeth for 14 years, is now growing a full sett of good teeth. Not a Word of Scandal marred the call of a neighbor on Mrs. W. P.
