Even up in the "pan handle"
Mr. Harvell gathered up soil
that is alluvial and almost black?
He seemed delighted with the
Pecan groves with their trees
three feet thick. He has some
, as fine specimens as you ever
cracked your enamel on.
He has some specimens of
corn, one of which seems just
the thing on which to feed little
chicks. It makes from 50 to 75
bushels per acre. He says as a
corn growing country it is better
than North Carolina as to quan
tity but inferior as to quality. J

well. They are independent and
happy. .

age is a "necessity. Complaints
have been lodged against tha
present art-angement. and he
thought a sewerage system
should bo ecued at onpe. U,o
asked tbfc board ,to construct a
line 'tapping the waitl system
tlfat would supply the need there!
and would embrace many more
be askad to extend the corporate

desired ,the liaae might bo con

entire plant and community,
though he preferred to have it
taken in as a whyle and pay the
taxes to the town and enjoy
police protection and pother
benefits.
Mr. R E Gibson presented the
claims from the growing taxable
wealth of the community and
hoped the commissioners would
see the force of the claim.
On motion the matter was re-

Goldsboro, N. C, May 19.
A shooUng scraf e is reported
f rtfm Mt; Olive, 'where on Sat
urday night a negro whose name
could not be learned shot a white
man named Bill Miller. The
njgro emptied his pistol, which
was a six shooter, into the white
man at close range and the
later, with six balls inhisbody,
is still living, but is said to bo in
a serious condition. The contro
versy arose over some money
which the white man claimed
that the iwvro owed him.. It
seems that Miller is in bad
repute in the community from
his association with the negroes,
and the public generally are not
disposed to make much effort to
condem or to apprehend the
negro, and the occurrence is not
much regretted. The point at
dispute between the two men
was of a trivial nature and is
not thought fit for publication,
'On her wedding day the
happy bride can see no good
reason why. tho honeymoon
should not last forever."
