Thiec Cotton Warehouses Needed.
The Waihaw Foterjirise says:
'"Farmers in this art of the o-un-
tr do not any reason why they
should be iuu-in-aU-J m a cotton warr-
house at Monroe, a it mould be liltlr
or no benefit to ttiem, t-ing1oeateti
away fmm the home market Thev
feel, and rightly so, that if they are
to take tttirk in uh a wan-hou1 it
should be located at Waxhaw, where
thev market tlieir cotton and where
it ran lie more ooivenuutlv stored
Of course the farmers around Uxiiroe
need anth a warehouse, a d) the
fanners around Waxhaw. '
This i the oorrtvt view of the mat
ter of course. NoUhIv knows and
appm iatea this fact any more than
the olluvrs of the county association,
we have no doubt. The Marshviile
and tlie Waxhaw merchants should
U stir themselves along w itii the far
inept of their territory to see that the
warehouses are buiit. It would ! a
tine tiling to nave a warehouse ill
each one of these5 towns, but if only
one is to U- hal. of mrse it would
lie of the greatest service if situated
here. Have three if -ssible, but
one bv all means.
Tlte force of hands in Mvk'ieiiburg
county engaged in uttin Jown
macadam on the M"tir h- and t'har-lotu-
road has now reached Matthews,
and it is stated that the work will be
jmsneii on down IMS way to U:e
I'nion and Mivkleiiburg hue. There,
of coins', it will come to a dead
stop. This means the same that it
means ou all the other roads that
lead into I'liarlutte, that the trade
from the terminal stvtions will pre
fer many miles further over the mac
adam roads than a shorter
distance to its natural place. Soir.e
of the other counties are preparing
to offset this by building roads of
their own And unless all of them
do this all the roads of this section
will leail as straigtit to Charlotte ere
long as did the ancient roads to
Rome. We have no envy for the
enterprise of the town that is stretch
ing out its tentacles as Charlotte,
but rather admiration. We only de
sire to ask how-long the surrounding
places can stand the dwarfing pro
cess. Of course this is but oiiepha.se
of the ipiestion of road making.
There arc others more iniortaiit.
l'fof. Massey says that this county is
the most progressive farming com
munity in the State, and in other
ways we are achieving a worthy rep
utation. All depends more upon
good roads than upon any other one
thing. What is I'nion county going
hi do about it?
The Supreme Court is wrestling
with the iiuestion of w hether a bugoy
trace is or is not a deadly weapon.
They ought to have no trouble in
deciding in this case, as it is one in
winch a base fellow bv the name of
Archbell, in Beaufort county, leat
his nineteen-year-old wife with this
instrument. When applied Uiamule
a buggy trace may not be fairly con
sidered a deadly weapon, but when
applied to the tender llesh of a wom
an it ought Ui be deadly enough to
cause in some way the death of the
rascal who uses it.

When the McCown case came tie
fore Judge Walker it was heard bv
him alone, the other members of the
court not sitting. Counsel for the
State, Solicitor Hrooks and the At
torney General and counsel fortlie
defendant, Guthrie if Guthrie and
Fuller A- Fuller, agreed to submit
the matUT without argument.
It was agreed by both sides that
the question to be settled was the
original one, as to whether Judge
W ard had the right Ui attach for
contempt for an assault upon his
person out of court. Judge Walker
refused U) discharge the etitioner
and remanded him to the jail at
Durham. An appeal was at once
taken to the Supreme Court, which
body will hear the appeal tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock, before the
call of cases from thesi-cond district.
Any discussion before Judge Walker
was waived in advance, in order that
the case might be heard by the full
Supreme Court as sjieedily as possi
ble, as it involves a new questiou
and one of great importance.
Judge Walker made the following
order:
"This matter coming on to be
heard before me at the Supreme
Court room upon the petition for a
writ of habeas corpus and the return
thereto by the sheriff of Durham, it
is now, upon consideration, aniudeed
by me that the application for the
discharge and release of the petition
er from imprisonment under the
judgment and order of commitment
for contempt of court, made by his
Honor, George W. Ward, judge of
the Superior Court, be and the same
is hereby denied and the petition is
dismissed, lhe petitioner is re
manded to the custody of the sheriff
to the end that he may be confined
in Durham jail in further execution
of the judgment and order of Judge
ward, or until bis discharge in due
course of law. From the foregoing
oraer or judgment me petitioner ap
pealed to the Supreme Court and his
appeal is allowed upon his giving
security and costs in the sum of $25.
