Rates very moderate. Special rates on long contracts. EDENTON, N.C., July 5t". 185. Norfolk's real estate assess ment has increased nearly $2, 000,000 in the last five years. An interesting item lor the un dertakers and keepers of insane asylums is the announcement that the New England grocery iobbers have ordered 1,200,000 cigarettes from one firm. Ex The Boston girl who is riding around the world on a bicycle and a wager of $20,000 is getting along pretty well. She has ar rived at El Paso. Texas, and de clined over 1 50 offers of marriage In Connecticut Joseph Gridley married widow Gridley, but of no kinship. He is 80; she 77. They were lovers sixty years since, quarrelled, separated and now marrv. She is rich and that explains the folly. The Suffolk Observer says: The oyster laws of Virginia are now attracting some attention and a modification and improvement may be looked for in the near future. Maryland waters are not so well protected as Virginia waters. Virginia can improve for the mutual advantage of the planter and the stall. The News & Observer has pre pared a statement of figures cruite elaborate, but which eoes to show that at the end of 1896 there will be a deficit of $275, 000 in the treasury. That is, that the income of the State at that time will be that much less than the expenses The figures and estimates showing this are given in lull and very clearly, A Boston millionaire named Turfts is reported to have pur chased a tract of 5,000 acres of laud in North Carolina, upon which he will lound a free sani tarium for indigent consump tives. He will build 500 cot tages and provide light employ ment for the sufferers, so that they may not feel that they are under too great obligations to the benefactor. Ex. The Richmond Dispatch says: Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Carlisle said, in a recent speech, that he is not an aspi rant for any office, his name is being persistently put forward by some of his Iriends as a "Pres idential possibility." Mr. Car lisle is modest, and may be an unambitious, man, but we feel warranted in saying that he would accept the Presidency if elected to it. The Wilmington Messenger very truthfully says: North Carolina is exceedingly adapted to hay growing. It can be made of great utility and profit if our people would learn to farm. In stead of importing hay from the North, North Carolina should be exporting by the 10,000 tons. The Wilkesboro Chronicle the other day said that Mr. Hackett had sold 12,000 pounds of the best hay from first cutting of twelve acres, and has from 9,000 to 10,000 pounds yet of the same cutting. The second cutting will yield as much as the first. All this is the first year's cutting. Such results can be obtained in almost every one of the ninety six counties. Why not? Judi cious cultivation will fetch it. We find the following item go ing the rounds and there is con siderable truth in it: "No true, honest, self-respecting man or woman is greatly disturbed about social recognition. It is those who feel their inferi ority who are always loudly as serting that they 'are as good as anybody.' M And it is equally true that the well-bred never act in a manner that suggests they feel they are better than the gen eral run of humanity. The true gentleman squares his conduct by the golden rule, which is the universal solvent of all our rela tions to our fellowmen. "As ye would that men should do unto you, do ye also unto thein." Double Office Holding. Office monopoly is undemocrat ic, it is against public policy, it is a ban to society, and it is un wise. Under the Constitution of North Carolina no man has the right to hold more than one of fice in the State. Art. XIV, Sec. 7, says: "That no person can legally hold more than one office (whether of hon or or profit) under our Constitu tion." There is another and perhaps a more serious version of the matter; it is this : "That a person who is lesrallv in possession of one office, cannot accept the sec, ond without vacating the first, that such acceptance while hold ing the first is an abandonment of the first, to all intents and pur poses, and that the first by such action is as vacant as though the holder of the same had tendered his resignation." Are there any double office holders in Edenton, or Chowan county ? ONE CENTNER MILE. A LOW RATE TO THE COTTON STATES AND INTERNA TIONAL EXPOSITION. Atlanta. Ga., June 25. Rates to the Cotton States and Inter national Exposition were prom ulgated here to day by Commis siouer Findlay, of the Southern Passenger Association. The basis is approximately one cent per mile on distances of two hundred miles and over, and is the lowest rate ever given an ex position, being little over one half those made to the World's Fair at the outset. The raiK roads profited by their expe rience at Chicago, where rates made too high at the outset held back the people, and the fare was reduced. Here it was de cided to reach the lowest at once and make the attendance uni form . The Exposition manage ment is much gratified at this action, which insures the max imum attendance from all terrN tory. Sales from points beyond the territory of the Southern Passenger Association have not been fixed, but will probably be on the same basis. Suburban rates have been granted on a very low basis, so that when the city is overcrowded, visitors may run out to outlaying towns as far as twenty-five miles and return next morning for a trifle. This will add accomodation for many thousands of visitors. Letter From Texas. Chappell Hill, Texas, i June 24th, 1895. J Mr. Editor: Inclosed please find ten cents for which please send me your Trade Edition. Being an old E. City boy any thing about the Albemarle dis trict will interest me. While I am interested in mv adopted State, Texas, I am still interest ed in my native State, North Carolina. I am glad to know there has been a great improve ment in old E. City and Edenton since I left there in 1879. The low price of cotton has brought a great change over this country in the last two years The cotton acreage has been greatly reduced in this section this year and a goodeal of that which was planted has been turn ed out, owing to excessive rains. It has been rainine here since the 4U1 of May, so that we have only been able to work two to three days a week. Yours respectfully, W. B. Crawford. A telegram from Charlotte says John bun, who murdered his wife last Friday, wishes to waive trial and be hanged next Friday, to be near his wife. The grand jury has returned a true bill against him. Seymour Keener, a cousin, shot and killed Ljllie and Laura Moore in Rabun county, Ga. He ambushed them in a fit of jeal ousy. Laura was killed in trying to save her sister. He is in iail. FOR SALE.
