To us at this time diversifica tion of crops is greatly needed. The continued growth of one staple with out a regard to the raising of home supplies will be ruinous in the ex treme, unless other crops at the .saoa'cu-time be grown to lessen the cost of home, consumption. Lu cerne, there is every reason to be lieve, will be a valuable aid in this direction. Those . interested in the subject will do well to read this bulletin (No. 60) of the Experimental Sta tion.

That the American peo pie like to be humbugged is amply verified in, thi large, sales of medi cine, which hare rewarded him for his arduous labors "in behalf of suf fering humanity." News reaches us of a desperate as sault with a lightwood knot made upon Mr-Lauch McNeill by a man named BullarcL in the lower end of the county on Saturday last. They were school commissioners and fell out about the selection of a teacher for their district when Bullard dealt McNeill several blows with the light- wood-knot, felling him to the ground and inflicting painful injury. We know Mr. McNeill to be a kindly, peaceable man, and trust to a happy issue out of his trouble. Al last re port the matter was undergoing ex amination before, a magistrate. The first Quarterly meeting for Rockingham Station, M. E. Church South, was held on Saturday and Sunday, last, the Presiding Elder. Dr. W. H.

But with it all, Charlotte has all the time been going forward and is to-day perhaps the livest town of its size in the State. Two-riraportant railroad connec tions which Charlotte very much desired, and needs, were lost on the day before our arrival by the failure" to vote of a large number of the reg istered voters, who were indifferent in the matter, and the business men were a little "blue" over the result But thej are not of the kind to sit down and mourn over ?' what might have been." They accept results as they come and reach out for some thing better. The Rocket has a number of pat rons in Charlotte who have been using its columns for several years, and we take it as an acknowledg ment of its value as an advertising medium that every one of them re newed their contracts, and several of them were kind enough to say that they' highly appreciated The Rocket as an advertising medium To Mr. Julian H.

G, tion from Laurinburg in .regard to the hew court house for Richmond3 count. fAi the Writer thereof-fails to, furnish us with his name- we must decline, in conformity with an established , rule of this, paper, to publish his letter. We will say to him, however,' and to all others who are so muvb exercised over the pro posed, new;, court-house, that the commissioners: have not "passed a resolution asking the Legislature to pass a bill authorizing our county to be taxed to the extent of $20,000 to build a new court house." They have made, or will make, applica tion to the Legislature fSr power to issue'bonds to build a court house not to exceed twenty thousand dol larskin cost, and it is to be hoped that they will build one to cost the full amount f the bonds asked for. It would be false economy (or rather no, economy at all) to put up. a building sufficient only for the pres ent needs of the county. Are we to be always at the tail end? Is Richmond county destined to stay in the old ruts and let all its neigh bors outstrip it in the onward marcn 7 li so, tnen our inena is right give us a $6,000 dollar court house and all will be well. But our correspondent gives himself away when he says : "Were the censirs of lower Rich mond, at least, taken we are satisfied that this would be found to be the almost unanimous verdict, viz that 10.000 or less would build ; court house ample and sufficiently tasteful for the needs of Richmond county for a thousand years to come." All ! And so it is "lower Rich mond" which must dictate as to the plans and cost of the new cour house! Is that it? Does the prej udice go so far as that? Are the people of "lower Richmond" so self ish as to inaugurate a rule or ruin" policy, simply because they are not immediately benefited by the new c. h.? We . have always held a different opinion oftliem. That which benefits one section of the county ultimately benefits the whole. The new court house will not belong to Rockingham nor to upper Richmond; it will be the common property of all the people and one section should take as much pride in it as another. It is worse than follv to erect a court house which will refiect discredit upon the county and which will, in a few years, have to be remod eled or rebuilt. The action Of the State Line Alli ance, whose resolutions we publish in another column, does not reflect the sentiment of the farmers of the county. It may reflect the scnti ments of a few individuals, but we refuse to believe that a majority of the farmers of the county are "moss backs" and obstructionists. They desire to prosper and ought to re- joice in tne advancement ot the county. Every public improvement is a step forward for the county and the individuals composing its popu lation. Public advancement always precedes individual prosperity and the man who would hinder or re tard the general welfare for his own 4 The caucus-wfijtch; was,h eld in Raleigh on .Tuesday right last re sulted, in the nomination of General M.-W.
