messages of the government are ex
empt. Differential half-cent on min

tles is eliminated so that the dividing
line is pint bottles containing less
one cent and bottles containing more

NEGROES FORMING COnPANIES.
They Will Tender Their Services to
Governor Russell.
Though some of the negroes., like
some of the white people, are afraid
of whizzing bullets and flashing guns,
still there are many among them with
great physical courage and love for
the flag and their country's honor.
At this very minute there are no less
than seven colored military companies
being formed in the state and some of
them already have upward of 200 men
enlisted.
Companies have been formed in Ral
eigh, Charlotte, Wilmington, Jew-
bern, Winston, Reidsville and Con
cord. One is being formed in Frank-
lington and it is stated that Raleigh,
Newbern, Charlotte and Wilmington
will, within the next few days, have
two companies instead of one.

panies is secured they will offer their
services to the Governor and volun
teer for the next call for troops from
North Carolina.

An Interesting Debate Last Night at
-St. Matthews.
The debate last night before the
Literary society of St. Matthews M. E.
church (colored ) was listened to by
a large crowd among whom were a
number of white people. The query:
"Resolved, that all negroes should
support the nominees of the republican
party," was ably debated by W. B.
Winsdor and R. W- Winchester for
the affirmative and W. R. Page and
D. J. Gilmer for the negative.
Every inch of ground was hotly con
tested, but in spite of mountain-like
prejudices the negative won by a ma
jority of the votes of those present.
Viewing this question in the light of
existing conditions, the result of this
debate is a great victory for Page and
Gilmer.
The speech of D. J. Gilmer was par
ticularly effective and the Telegram
will print the whole of it in tomor
row's edition, the reporter having
failed to get it reduced to manuscript
in time for today's paper. It will
prove very interesting.
