Mias Lizzie Small, of Fayetteville is tth a Visit to friends In this community. Mr. Reneth McDonald and Miss Janie Ferguson of Greenwood township were married last Thursday. Judge T. B. Womack’s friends would be very glad that be should be one of the Railroad Commissioners. The Seaboard Air Line brought up a car last Saturday for use on the Egypt railroad. Miss Rosa L. Wood, who is travell ing for the Wilmington Messenger, spent Sunday in Sanford. She repre sents a fine paper and the paper is finely represented. Glad to see in Sanford this week Rev Chas. E. Taylor, President of Wake Forest College. Mis kind, generous smile, so significant of the soul of Hie man, always does us good. A negro medicine-man, having pai4 his license tax, has put a tent on the streets and at night offers a free show to attract a crowd to buy his patent . headache nostrums, Ao. Of oourse it cures everything. j Capt. W. J. Bradshaw’s corps of con victs have finished the Egypt Railroad and, on last Friday, moved to Turner’s HiU, 7 miles below Fayetteville. They are. to be employed in working tor the Atlantic Coast Line. The gas caught fire in the Egypt cotfl mine last Thursday morning. Mr. Jos. Mills and a colored man were very badly burnt about the head and face. Dr. W. C. Melton, who is employed by this company as physician and sturgeon, reports that they are not seriously hurt. Rev. R. P. L»* preached at Buffalo church laat Saturday and Sunday Those who heard him are highly pleas ed and pronounce it an able effort. He , clothed in beautiful language profound and vital doctrines that will no doubt tell in the Uvea of his hearers. DANVH.us,Va., Feb. 16.—The Regis ter has information of a daring case of robbery at Mt. Airy, N. C. Harry Tay lor and an- accomplice named Stone, entered the residence of Taylor's grand mother, Mrs. Samuel II. Taylor, and one of the raseals held her on the floor while the other robbed the safe of 8a. 100. The robbers escaped—Raleigh Chronicle. People from the country report the roads In a very bad condition. There has been such a super-abundance of rain and such scarcity of sunshine that they are cut all to pieces when travel led. Roads and fences are said to be •n index to the civilization of a coun try but in some localities at such times as this the roads must necessarily be bad. The General Passenger Agent of the Cape Fear St Yadkin Valley Railroad authorizes us to say that Tariff 4 Cir cular 644 will be applied in the sale of round trip tickets to Fayetteville, N. C., on account of the North Carolina Htate Sunday School Association. Tick ets on sale March 23rd to 26th, good till March 30th Round trip ticket from Sanford 82.20. ^Representative Currie passed San ford last Saturday on his way from Raleigh. He spent Sunday in Carthage and went back to his post of duty Mon day. We regard him ■ as a safe con servative Democratic Representative. In the excited eagerness of the present .Legislature to relieve the people in every way possible, too many laws may be made. Mr. Carrie does not believe in making new laws unless some good is to come of it—does not believe in change just for the sake of change. County Commissioners and Liquor License It puzzles some of us sometimes to know how county commissioners can refuse to grant license to a man to sell liquor according to law. From a deci sion In the Supreme Court of Muller vs. commissioners the Raleigh Chris tian Advocate learns the following: “If a board of commissioners should lay down broadly the rule that they will grant no license and refuse to con sider an application, a court would issue a mandamus to compel them to consider the application. J3ut if they consider the application anti refuse to issue the license, no court can interfere even though each and, every application ' the county is refused. This Is so Well settled that we learn that In 42 counties in North Carolina to-day there are only seven bar-rooms altogether." CHATHAM COURT. Tho People ot Western;Chatham: Want a Raw County. Court at Pitt*boro adjourned last Saturday. Judge Boykin made a very favorable impression at ITttsboro. He is a young man comparatively, a man of pleasing address and withal a man of good parts. He dispatches business in a business-like manner and at first, it was thought he would adjourn court about Thursday, but civil cases did not move so rapidly. Two eases were tried upon which the jurors failed to agree. During the Intervals of pourt Judge Boykin made quite a favorable impres sion among the young ladies. , He goes to Gfeensboro this week to hold court. The circuits are surely ill-arranged. He came from Oxford, by one or two coun ties to Pittsboro and goes to Greens boro by two or three In getting away. While at Pittsboro last Saturday we met an old irishman familiarly known as Ned Berry. A friend In introduc ing us said, “You did not know that be Carried a musket four years for the .Southern Confederacy." Old ' Ned looked at us with a half-sad and half determined) unconquered look—with an eye beaming with the patriotism which filled his soiil and said, “I never took tfaie oath of allegiance though. X could not take an oath against my country.” The yoke of oppression in Ireland once thrown off and they are a liberty-loving people and are said to be always Democrats. The people of western Chatham made a very strong effort to obtain a new county to be named Burgwyn. The effort met with determined resist ance from the east and we think that both parties are now about satisfied that the present Legislature will not make the new county. However, there is another proposition later to take in a territory of MO square miles around Liberty as centre. * THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Mr, Green introduced a bill t , low Harnett county to fund -I pay the debt of ^ county: a a A bill passed changing the name °r Eastern Insane asy(um to East ern hospital, A bill to establish a geological survey of the State made special or der for February 19th. A bill passed to declare vacant the place of all trustees of the Uni versity who fail to atten.d- for four years,. , ; - Jed. Mr. Bishop introduced a bill to change The Code in reference to running trains oh Sunday. Mr. Hoodi introduced a bill to reg ulate the employment of women and minors under 18 years of age in factories. Mr. Willcox introduced a bill to restore the burnt records of any coutttv. A bill has been introduced to pre vent hunting opossums from Feb. ,1ft to Oct. 1. ... » A bill was introduced by Mr. Hood to regulate elections and pro vide a secret ballot. A bill has been introduced to in corporate -all the churches in the State not heretofore incorported. A bill passed the 3rd reading to prescribe when turpentine leases shall expire, in absence of contract ’—making it Jan. 1st. A bill has been introduced to rer lieye persons unber 21 years of age from working the road. A bill passed the House to pre vent selling or furnishing pistols and pistol cartridges to minors with-’ Out consent of parent or guardian. The Railroad Commissiom bill has passed both houses. Some three or four amendments in the House make it necessary for the Senate to again consider it. The bill is such as the people demand, we think and consequently ought to have, but whether its workings will be satisfactory or not is quite anoth er question. We think rather too much is expected of it. Farmers' Alliance in the Next House. Wamh. Cor. Baltimore Sun. Congressman-elect Shell, of South Carolina, who is one of the leaders in the Tillman movement in the Palmetto State, is here to survey the congressional field and ascer tain how the Farmers' Alliance members are to be received in the next House. He is a tall, well pro portioned man, about 50 years old, with gray hair and long whiskers— a typical granger in appearance. He denies that the Farmers’ Alliance Congressmen are coming to Wash ington with the "intention of form ing or assisting in forming a Third party in the House. So far as he is individually concerned, he is a Dem ocrat, and his first allegiance is to that party and its principles. He will endeavor, so far as he is able, to promote the interests of the Farm ers’ Alliance, of which be is a mem knv in nil 1_' _ reserving the right to vote with the Democratic party on all party ques tions. He will go into the Demo cratic caucus for the speakership with the South Carolina delegation. His present preference is Mr. Crisp, of Heorgia, as the most desirable man, but he believes it would be wise to select the Speaker of the next House from a Northern or j Western State to avoid any section al entanglements. 1 -— Are the Negroes Superior to the Chinese? HalMi/h A>w* ana Okttmtr. The Boston Herald has stirred up some of its negrophile contempora ries in New England by asserting that the Chinese are superior ,to the negroes in capacity for self-govern ment, in intellectual achievements and in most . of the qualities requir ed for the higher types of civiliza tion. Consequently, the Herald argues, if the Chinese are to he ex cluded and those now here are to be kept in subjection as a menace to1 American institutions, how can Southerners be blamed for refusing to submit to the negro supremacy which the Hoars and Chandlers of the North wish to force upon them? So far no satisfactory answer has been made to the Herald's query, but it has nevertheless been vigor ously scolded for its abandonment of the pet New Englaad idea. Raleigh has raised $10,000 for the Inter-State Exposition, and it will be held in that city next fall. Every county in the State should help Raleigh to make this an affair worthy the State and the Hews feels safe in predicting that Meck lenburg, for one, will have a fine reputation.—Charlotte News. . =========== NEWS General Win.

The large threshing machine manufactory of the Nichols & Shep ard Company, of Battle Creek, Mich.,"last Saturday gave $50,000 of its paid up stock to its employ ees and workmen.

We are deeply in earnest when we say we want to see our farners make their meat and bread and clothing at home. Any farmer can raise and keep a few sheep. The wool from these will make the very best i of clothing for both men and wo men ; and the lambs come in splend idly for fresh meat during the sum mer. Flax will grow splendidly in this latitude; and, in addition to fur nishing the warp or jeans, the seed is very valuable as a market crop. Let our farmers, then, raise some sheep and swine, aud grow some flax, and make their own clothing, and live bn the fatm, and live off the farm and keep free of debt, and they tvifl become prosperous and happy;—Raleigh Progressive Farm er. ' Rockefeller has given 1,600,000 to the new Baptist University in Chica go. He pays $100,000 every month.

He lost $175.00 in green backs and a note for $25.—High Point Enterprise. Monday the House adopted a res olution requesting our delegation in Congress to vote that the govern ment should take control of the telegraph and telephone lines. It would have been better to haye adopted a resolution asking that the Constitution of the United States be changed, and' that the Federal gov ernment be given the national pow ers of the Empire of Germany, or of Russia, or of France; and be done with these piecemeal efforts at cen tralization.— Raleigh News and Ob ierver.

We have the pleasure to announce a new departure—the location of an Agency in New York City for the purchase and selection of our stock in order to enable us to quote jower prices than others who buy on long time and ask big prices in these days of panic and hard times. Big prices will not do in these times when even the wealthy can not afford to waste their money and the poor require double duty of every.dollar and every penny. As our prices change frequently it will be impossible for us to give standing quotations, but it will be our aim to name figures that will compel you in self defense to buy of us—prices that will teach you in the silent logic of truth the differ ence between the cash and the cred it system—between the right and the wrong way. Thus we are fight ing against the old rotten credit system for money, for reputation, and for the people. Respectfully Submitted by J. B. YARBOROUGH, Jonesboro, N. C.
