Some papers and people have accused Dr. P. L. Murphy of flee ing from the State to avoid being a witness in the Grissom trial. This we do not believe to be true. The facts, as we under stand, are theee: Ou the 12th "ue nr. iuirpnj 's wife was called by telegram to the bed sine of her father who was nangerosly ill in Virginia; on July ;th, by leave of absence om the Board of Directors he hit to visit his father-in-law 4nl brinf his family home curing his absence the sub- iwnawarf sent to Morganton.

One of the best and ablest of Americai- j newspapers, the New York K veiling Host, hah an editorial in winch this abuse of newfpa persin giving o much publicity to slugging and other refined Northern sports, is properly handled. It .says of certain leading papers the New Yorkj World, Sun and New York Her aid, and the Boston Herald : "Ail these virtuous commentators! f-hut their eyes lo the fact that the public interest which they deplore is largely of their own creation.

A MOONSHINER SHOOT A HELPLESS WOMAN. Fayettevilie Canning Factory, &c. fllejf. Cor. Caucasian. j Favettkvillk, N. C, Aug. 5th, 1889. j It is said that in the upper end of this county, where the counties of Cumberland, Samp son, .Johnston and Harnett come together, there is a nsst of moonshiners who run their stills near the line and evade arrest. Last night, a week ago, a man by the name of Gotier went to the house of a Mr. Fann, in the section above mention, and de manded five dollars. He was told that they did not have it. He left, but returned at 12 o'clock, broke open the door and shot Mrs. Fann and made his escape into Sampson countv. Mrs. Fann is not fatally wound ed, though it was a narrow es cape, the ball or shot entering the side and lodging in the ab domen. She was unprotected,1 her husband being away and no one but little children with her. It is said that Gotier is an illic it distiller, but we do not know that it is true. This was an outrageous affair and we trust the the rascal will be caught. Illicit distilling will corrupt the morals of the young people of any neighborhood where it i.s carried on, and the good peo ple of this section are opposed to it, and are doing their best to put a tor J,oJiLlSM-t:6vfc ble, makes desperate men and ought to be ferreted out. Since writing the above Go tier has been arrested and is now in jail. Sheriff Fisher, and posse of eleven men, surround ed his house Sunday morning at daylight, and sent a friend to tell Gotier of the condition of things, and lie surrendered. He will be given a hearing befora a Justice of the Peace in a day or two. The canning company com menced operations last week, with Mr. Nelson, an expert canner from Baltimore, in charge. About 3.000 cans, of peaches, tomatoes and peas were Xut up the first five days, which is very good for a beginning. Many people visited the factory during the week and were pleas ed and instructed by what they saw. About 2oidlebos about town are at work, and white la bor is given the preference. There is more fruit coming in than was expected or hoped for. Capt. E. P. Powers has receiv ed an appointment at the hands of Collector White, who makes him a Special Deputy, with a salary of 125 per month. Quite a delegation 'of Republicans from this county went up to Raleigh when Mr. White took charge. All wanted office, and most of them came back "piping mad," cussing "Harrison and his' gang for all they were worth." This is the last pull at the pub lic fund they will ever get, and many who fail to get a "lift" will vote with the Democrats at the next election, as they are Republicans for revenue only. The people at Wade, this ountv, held au indignation meeting last Monday and adopt ed appropriate resolutions de manding the resignation of Ds. Grissom. We believe Dr. Gris som unfit foe the place he holds rom his own testimony, and think two thirds of the people of this county are of the same opinion. We have talked to many, and only one man was in favor of Dr. Gnssom s retention, out of hundreds. The first scuppernongs have come to market. Growers say the crop will not be a large one. It is the most delightful et all grapes. Messrs. Kose& haK are inaa ing an addition of 20x30 feet to their large store on Hay strest. Business is improving. The Grand Jury in their re- nort recommends tne earnest consideration of the building of a new Courthouse. The present one is almost worthless. A new one centrally located with vaults and other conveniences is a ne cessity, and the people of the countv are m favor ot mulcting it. we believe.

Faisoa, of Warsaw, in the city last week. For the last thirty -four days it has raiued. The crops have suffered, but tlie damage is not so great, if the rains would cease at once, and the seasons be good hereafter. Mr. Alex. Clumpier, a. former citizen of Sampson county, died, at his residence, a few miles east of here week before last in his 02nd year. Mr. Crumpler was an excellent citizen and a chris tian gentleman, as this writer knows. He leaves a family who deeply mourn their loss. We sympathize with them, and can only say they have a bless ed hope of meeting him in a better land. - "imVOMIClMI'O RT AM !KOF iOO! KOAlS." It has been said that the test for the advancement and civili zation oi any comm be found in the conditio churcres, schools and roads Certainly one of the most im portant items for a rural dis trict, where all travelling and transportation must be done over dirt should be kerit in the best possible condition. Bradstreet's has an article in point on the "Economic Impor tance of Good Roads," from which we make the following extracts : . . A great deal of interest "has" 'al ready been aroused in the question of road improvement, but much more would be felt if anything like a dofinite notion of the importance of good roads to the material pros perity of the country were generally entertained. It is one thing to ar gue in a general way that improved roads must be of advantage to the paople generally: it is another 'thing to show that good roads are a. direct and appro i ai at 3iy calculable pecu niary benefit. The average man will be .iiade to see at once the Im portance of good roftds when he is told, as the result of apparently care- fd e.tini tle? of the force of truction required on different kinds oi roacis, that any one of the Ix iter elas of ppfmanent road.) would enable a team to draw on the level about four thaos the amount drawn on a com mon dirt road in good condition. On the basis of the experience of Illinois, where considerable atten tion has lately been given to the subject of road ''.np.ovem nt, it is estimated that good roads, even good dirt roads, at all Cjasons of the year would reduce the cot of transporta tion on our country roads more than one-half, while good permanent roads would make the real cost of hauling less than one-quarter of what it is now. ! . . . . It has been estimated that the poor roats of the United States cost the farmer on - the average at least ?15 per horse. Dr. Jeuks considers this estimate a low one. He tstimates that if the roads of Illinois for ex ample, were improved, so that for one-half the year good loads could be hauled and for the other half about-two-thirds as much on the average, the difference between the earnings oi an ordinary draught ior.se on the roads as at present and on the roads as improved would be in the neighborhood of $25 a year. It strikes us that there is much of truth in the above figures and if our farmers are going to con tinue to raise cotton, .which is to haul to market, and take the remainder of the year to haul back home corn, meat, flour, hay and fertilizers, that it would be economy to spend at least one month or a twelfth of this time in putting the roads in good order. John L. Sullivan lias been ar rested in New York and taken to Mississippi on requisition of Gov. Lowry for prize fighting within the limits of his State. The State had offered a reward of $1,500 for his capture, ;and the penalty in that state for prize fighting is a fine of not more than 1,000 and not less than 500, or imprisonment in a county jail not less than 12 months, or both. All aiders and abettors are pnnishable by a fine of. not less than $100 or imprisonment for six months, or both, i Gov. Lowry now has an : opportunity to make such barbaric practices odious and he ought to do it oy giving Sullivan the full penalty of the law. . Later: Sullivan spent last Sunday in jail and had a prelimenary hearing before Judge Campbell of Jackson Miss., Monday morning. The Judge ruled that the' slugger must repair . to. .Marion. county and give bond ' for his ap pearance Aug. 12lh, CUPID'S WILES. A LIST OF COURT-PLASTKR AND ITS MEANING.

"Ah! a cousin perhaps, or a sister; eh, judge ?" replied his friend slyly. "Sit down, doctor," said the judge, "and I will tell you an old story. The point of it you have no doubt heard a score of times; but I venture to say that you nev(3r knew that bach a circumstance actually occurred, and that the principals in it were among the best known of our society people of half a century : ago. My connection with the affair was through my relationship to the lady in the case. After her death her only daughter was my ward, and I afterward adopted her. I was her 'mother's counsel for some years; and one day she gave mo this packet and told me the circumstances. It had such a epice of romance in it that I have always enjoyed thinking about it, and often look at the picture and try to recall her as I knew her in the prime of life. will tell you the story ; I know you will find it interesting." The judge unwrapped miniature, placed it upon desk, and continued : "The autumn session at Seminary in Breslau, in the the the the year IS ,opened with unusually full classes, and the buildings were crowded. Indeed, the number of resident students was so far' in excess of the provision made for them, that it was found necessary to put at least two pupils in- every room in the dormitories. A new wing was to have been finished in time for the opernig of the session; but for some cause it had been delayed, and the students were obliged '-to be conteat with crowded ac commodations while the work on the new building was pushed forward as rapidly as the weatner and the limited means and help would permit vine Duiicung siooa on a high table-land overlooking the village. The original plan of construction was the form of a Maltese cross. The central portion ana mam noors were devoted to the chapel, libraries, class-room?, dining-rooms, and business offices; while the wings above the first floor, were u .ed as dormitories. But three of the wings and the central portion had at that time k been completed, and it was upon the fourth, which was to be built much longer than the original plan,that the work was going op. ; "As it was expected that the new-'wiug, which was 5, to be occupied by the boys, would be done oy the. noiiaays, it was finally deci ded, 7-after V. inufih debate, to turn one of the halls into a dormitory for the young er girls, and the working pupils who assisted in the domestic affairs of the ! ' establishment ; for, with the exception of cooks. rousekeeper, and scullery maids, all of the household service was performed by pupils who in this way paid for their board and tuition. Una of tha girL' dormitories Therefore given up to the boys aud vouug men, and a large numlHir ot girls occupied cots in the, long hail. "The reeular boys dormitory was reached by a separate stairway from the lower floor. The two others, both usually occupied by the girls, opened upon a spacious landing con necting with the hall of the mniii building. ;V '-- "In giving up one of these wings to the boys, the young people were necessarily brought into rather close quarters ; aud arrange ments were made for night monitors, who wera selected from tbu assistant teachers, and were stationed in the hall. They had regular watch-hours, and relieved each other at stated interval?. In this way a check'was kept upon the gamesome youngsters lest they should forget or ignore some of the proprieties of life 'There were no doors to the entrances to the dormitory halls, and, as the occupancy by the boys was to be but tem porary, it was not thought best to pat them up, especially as the halls were wide and high, and the entrances handsomely finished in arches that would necessarily be much disfigured by the process. Screens were therefore provided and placed at each entrance, and - it was taken for granted that this was all that was necessary. "The graduating class of the year previous had been more than ordinarily large; and so much had been said by out-oldcT3--in tavor of the school, that au unusual number of strangers had presented them selves. The opening days were formal, and there was an air of constrained about the place, quite out of accord with the usual order of things. Many members of the graduating class had been students there for several years, the teachers had continued in thefr places, and the seminary had been much mure like a lire family circle than such institutions ?re wont to be. "But now everything was changed. ' There were several new teachers, the few remain ing pupils from the old classes were late" in coming, as tney would drop.; readily into their places, and the regular teachers were too much engaged arranging the details of the new work, to be able to giye more that general attention to what was going on about them. The older and more sedate boys and young men were put into the new dormitory, while the youngsters and madcaps, always plenty iu such institu tions, were lef t, in the old wing. "One night toward the end of the first week of the term. IjAlbert West, one . of the older of the new pupils, was alone in his room in the new dormitory. The rettring-beli had sounded sometime before, and having extinguished the light he was sitting by the; window and coking out over the village. He; was quite homesick, but was trying to reason himself out of a state of mind which he knew, would be fftal to his progress in nis studies, aua a stumbling-block in the way of his ambition. ' 'But it 'was useless; and he declared to himself he was 'in danger of forgetting his estate of manhood, and crying iiko a girl. Indeed, there was some suspicion , of moisture in his eyes and a decided lump in his throat, when, like a flash, into thtj room popped a slender figure in a long, loose garment that trailed on the floor, and lovely flowing hair that fell over tbe shoulder.-. The door was carefully closed " and tne Key turned, and before the young man could speak, came in a whisper the words: wrPvft got it, girls' but such a risk! Do you know I -nearly rau over old dragrn? Sho must have heard me, for she came into the room with a light; but I dropped behind an arm-chair, and she didn't see me. Say, girls, where are you? W elh hide if you want to, you hateful things! I'll never do any more of your old errands! I was near getting . lost, too. T tried every door down the hall before I found the roomi;-.,..

Just so long as iarmets persist in raising all cotton and pur chasing their meat, corn, molas se?, sugar, etc., In foreign mark ets, jnst so long Avill they be poor, instead of having a bank account, they will be in debt. We may or amine thoroughly the interests of the farmers of the cotton States, and we will find in every instance that the most successful farmers are those who raise their supplies at home and who make cotton a surplus crop.
