one seemed tu drag. Evidently it did not
take with the audience. As a consequence
a comparatively small audience greeted tha
Company luesday to witness the capital
French play, "The Princess of Bagdad.
The company redeemed itself this time.
From the rising of the curtain the actors
entered into the spirit of the play. They
had the audience with them the entire
evening. Frequent bursts of applause
greetedthem.
It is to be regretted that the latter piece
was not played Monday, Had it been, the
rainy evening Tuesday would not have pre
vented a full bouse. There is histrionic
talent in Claire Scott and two or three of

The Stoum. The equinoctial storm
burst upon us last Friday evening and for
several hours the "big rain came dancing
to the earth as if it did rejoice over the
wild havoc it was making with crops, farms,
road3 and bridges. The rain fall was great -er
than it has been in forty-five years. It
was seven and seven-tenth inches. It will
cost the county hundreds aad it may be
thousands of collars.

out was the tresale over Hendrick'a creek
near the fair grounds. The . old channel
being somewhat biccked up by an old brick
culvert which was destroyed in the June
freshet in 1867, could not carry off the im

dollars. Where there is an apparent fall
ing off it is owing to a failure to list. Par
ticularly ia this the case with cattle, hogs
and sheep. We have no; doubt that if all
property had been listed, the asereeate
-value in the county would be five million
or 500,000 more than it is.
The number of white polls bears a belter
proportion to the white vote than that cf
the colored. The number of white votes
ia about 1,800, colored 3,900. The num
ber of white polls in '80 wa3 1,273, colored
2,590; in '81, -white 1,335, colored 2.515 :
82, white 1,334, colored 2,378.
There are too few cattle, hoea and
sheep. There is not a hog to each inhabi
tant, there is only one cow to four persons
while if the sheep were divided, there
would bo only one to every ten. These
figures are not eucouragiiig,hey show that
our people are not raising one-fourth
enough meat to support them. They tell
their own tale. There is a demand for
meat that if the number of cattle, sheen
and hogs be quadrupled will not be suffi
cient.

e&ominatio:
ii The ri
Republican Jmomisxtios. The radicals
of this Township met at tlie Court House
last Monday and nominated Sam Lawrence,
colored, the present incumbent, Constable
for the Township. There pere five aspi
rants ior me place, Dut iawrence distanced
all of them combined. The only part of
the proceedings worth mentioning was the
discussion as to how the vote should be
taken. There was some disorder ipt awhile
and quite a divirsity of sentiment, seme
wanted it viva voce, some tby holding up
hands, some by dividing and others by
ballot. R. S- Taylor, colored, made a
very sensible speech in favor of a vote by
ballot. He contended that bis people had
sufficient intelligence to cast a ballot.
They had to do so in JtoVemrv;f They
should do so now 'ut he bould not carry
PC-mt. Each candidate took a position
in different parts o to cqurt room, and
his sunnorters were asked, tb stand around
him till they were counted.

Mjldisgn Square Tii3atre . A Tueat
ricil Company sent out by the Madison
Square Compaay of New York, will give
cur people Saturday evening an opportu
nity of witnessing Esmeralda,a play which
has become quite celebrated. It wa3 writ
ten by Mrs. Burnett, and the scene iu
two of the acts is laid in this State. We
therafore give an outline of the play.
Ei bei t . Rogers with bis wife "Liddy
Ann and daughter Esmeralda owned a p'W)r
smuil farm ia one of our Western counties.
The daughter who waa very pretty was in
love- with Dave Hardy a first-rate specimen
of a Tar Heel farmer. When the play
opens Dave had secret ly made his prepara
tions for getting married. He is teillng
Mrs. Iiogers a sbrewd calculating woman,
of his love for her daughter. Reluctantly
Bhe consents. Then comes on the sceT(b a
Northern speculator, who ofiers to buy tbe
'farm, for a price, sufficient for what it was
worth a3 a farm. The speculator is aware
that there is a valuable vein of ore on it,
but this has been adroitly concealed until
tbe bargain has been made and the deed
signed, then Dave snatches the deed from
Mrs. Rogers tears it up and exposes the
purpose of the speculator. A new bargain
is made which makes Rogers a millionaire.
Dave is discarded because he is t jo poor
for the rich daughter. 'Dave leaves.
Tho Rogers family go to Paris live in
princely, style. They make the acquain
tance of an American artist and bis two
sisters who become firm and fast friends of
Esmeralda who has been destined by her
mother to marry a French a1 arquis. Dave
follows them to Paris and then he learns
that the rich vein of ore on the Rogers. !
farm had given out and that a really valu
able one had been discovered on Dave's j
farm miking him a rich man. j
;The next act opens With old Mr. Rogers j
who Is completely ruled by hia wife, beg
ging the Marquis to forego his engagement j
with bis daughter Vfh,o ia, breaking her
heart fox Dve. The Frenchman' refuses.
Bhe meets Din, rejects the Marquis with
scorn and defies her mother vowing that
she will go hack to North Carolina.
In the laet act the old man throws off
petticoat government and brings Dave and
Esmeralda-togethor. When he does Mrs.
Rogers finds oat that their money is all
gone aod that Daye baa been supporting
BcnTitU-Philips Club Ye Fence Law T. P.
BraiweU. Esq. AccepUd a Situation
Left for LWky Mount Sickness, $c.
Batilkbobo, Sept. 23, 1882.
Editor Taeboro' SouxHaBSKE :
There waa a Bonnett-Philips Club or.
gauizeu nere last Thuisday with Dr. J. G.
ivea as President, Messrs. G. C. Battle,
G. V. Smithson, T. P. Braswell and W.
P. Davison, elected as Vice Presidents, and
1. yj. uryan. secretary. rot being pres
ent, 1 r;gret tJ be vmablo to give the pro
ceedings in full. Suffice it to say, that the
meeling was hurmonious and enthusiastic,
a number of promintt citizens of both
Edgecombe and Nash becoming
members. Appropriate remarks were
made by Dr. J. G. Rives, the Presi
dent, and others. The meeting adjourned
tojmeet again next lhursday, the 28th
inst.
The supporters of tha no fence law had
a meeting herq ct Thursday last. The
committees in their report stated that they
bid met with little or an opposition to the
law in their different sections, and that
the' had hopes of winning tbe few over
that still opposed it. This is something
that should deeply interest those that want
to rent lands, as well as the land owner,
and from theprominent gentlemen who
are at its head, and who are laboring ear
nestly for its adoption, I feel confident that
at no distant day we will have it as a law.
I learn that the -W. & W. Railroad Co.
will, in the near future, erect a new and
commodious brick warehouse at this place.
The site selected is some three hundred
yards north of the present warehouse, and
is in every respect a desirable location.
Our citizens hive long felt the want of a
larger and more roomy warehouse, and we
are glad to know that the Railroad author
ities have at last concluded to build us
one that will be alike creditable to them
selves and our town.
T. P. Braswell, Esq., our very popular
merchant, is having a grocery department
added to his large two story building on
tbe corner of Nash and Railroad streets.
Our young friend, Jno. Stokes, has ac
cepted a situation in the dry goods store of
bis brother, W. D, Stokes, Esq.
J. A. Taylor and family and Mr. J. H.
Jones left yesterday for Rocky Mount,
.their future home.
Joseph Hobgsod, Esq ., who has been
quite sick recently, is, on tbe streets again.
Much sickness prevaile in this and the
surrounding community, and our efficient
and popu'-ar physician, Dr. W. H. White-
bead, is kept busy irom early morn till
night attending to their wants, &c.
The Ska'ing Iunk has butted, but their
was no wailiDg or gnashing of teeth." -Yours,
