did the same thing, last year. It is
a pleasure to lecord such noble,
generous deeds. It is a pity the
wealth of this country were not all'
in the hands of such men,
Charlotte had a disastrous Are
last Saturday night. The fire orig
inated in the basemeut of Wilson &
Co's; drug store. The entire build-, j
ing was destroyed and considerable
damage done to the Central Hotel
building. The entire loss amounted
to over $50,000, mostly covered by
insurance. The building burned
used to be used as the Belmont Ho
tel and belonged to Mr. Eccles.
We understand that the itu
presion has gotten out that the
bonds which are to be voted on
would tax the eutire county. We
do not know how such an idea
could have originated, but we as
sure any under that itppression that
it is a mistake. The County Com
missioners, however, might very
properly make an appropriation to
aid in establishing a system of wat
er works for fire protection, as the
Court house and its contents are
county property and much of this,
if destroyed by fire, could never be
replaced by any degree of human
ingenuity: ' But this will be a mat
ter eutirely discretionary with the
board of couuty commissioners.
Our esteemed Register of Deeds
is not altogether pleased with the
way in which things ate going on
betweeu himself aud a certain pop
ular young grocery merchant of this
place. The former gentleman says
he is in the blank business and that
he keeDs certain "ereen" blanks
which he would be pleased to fill
out. at the small sum of $3.00, and
he thinks that as he has beeu a very
taitbful oatron of the erocer, that
the latter ought to return the pat
rounge in some degree at least. Our
svmuathies iu this particular in
stauce are iucliued to go out in the
direction of the Register, beeause
we do uot think that this oueness
ou tho part of the young merchant
should any longer exist.
Dr. W. L. C rouse met with a
very painful accident last Monday
afternoon. One of the buckets at
his well had become detached and
fallen into the well. Some hands
had been attempting to hook the
bucket from the well b? means of
an open link of large chain. While
they were absent from the well,
Doctor happened to go to draw wa
ter and, uot kuowiug the bucket was
off one end of the rope, let the
bucket down. Attracted by the
rapid descent of the bucket, he
stooped over the well to see what
was the cause ; and just as he did
so the end of the rope to which the
link-hook was attacked came up
with great force and struck himjust
above the left eyeball and cut a con
siderable gash, inflicting a painful
wound. It was indeed a narrow
escape from losing his eye, but, it
is thought, his sight will not be in
jured. Itch on human and Horses and all ani-
mals cured in 80 minutes bv Woolfor's.
