l hey Struck a Log.
The sewerage force is now at
ork on Spring street nearing the
corners of Mill and Spring - street?.
On Friday before striking Spring
street a short distance from the dy
namo and about twelve feet down
in tbe ground they struck a large
log. This is very probably some
wood of olden times , when Concord
was not a town. It is hard to diss
tinguish whether it is oak or wal

Fnlly Convinced .
One Mr. Samuel Pate, a Repubii
can, from Martin county, having
heard and seen so much in the
newspapers regarding the condition
of Craven county openly announced
that he would like to go to Craven
county, and if it was half so bad as
made out he would stump the coun
ty in behalf of . the Democratic, par
ty. And those stalwart Democrats
of Craven, hearing of the announce
ment made by this Republican, ac
tually paid all of his expenses to
make Craven a yisit, and after he
had visited and seen the true con
dition of things, the Anglo-Saxon
blood and conscience was 1 stirred
and he exclaimed that he will not
only stump the county, but the
whole State of good old North Car
olina in behalf of the white man
and his home. Part of Mr. Koonce's

A DARK SCHEME.
Wilminsrton Kegrois Try to Buy Tire
Arms From tne Odell Hardware Co.
Their Scheme Detected.
From tbe Raleigh News and
Observer we notice that negroes
at Wilmington, who have been
corresponding in regard to buying
a quantity of rifles from the Odell
Hardware Co., in Greensboro,
have been detected in their dark
scheme. It is supposed that the
negroes are preparing to be armed
on election day. One reason to be
lieve there is something dark like
this behind is the fact that the
negro who was doing the coi res
ponding for . the arms is the
chairman of the Republican
executive committee of that coun
ty. In the letter, a fac simile of
which appears m that paper, he
asks for prices of, twelye 38-calibre
guns with the privilege of 25, six
teen shooters, also twelve 32 and
38-calibre guns.
