About four weeks aero, he says, a mad dog bit the hog and he pui it in a pen and kept it up nearly or quite two weeks. As it showed no symptoms of rabies he turned it out again, and it seemed to be all right uuui one aay last week when he happened to see it fall down appa rently with a fit. He ran and grab bed it by the legs and threw into a pen near by. It soon became very violent, frothing at the mouth and gnashing its teeth, when he killed it and buried the carcass. a Q.W. to J. E.

On Triday night wee, the 22nd inst., some of the ladies of the town will give a Book Reception at the hall of the Y. M. C. A. for the pur pose of securing books for a library for the Association. There will be an entertainment consisting of music, recitations, &c, making it an enjoyable occasion. No admittance fee will be charged, but it is expected that all who attend will carry a book to go into the Association's library. Of course any one ,can carry as many books as they choose. It is the desire of the Association to fit up its hall nicely and to supply it with books, newspapers, magazines, &c, and make it as attractive as possible. We hope all will lend their aid to the worthy cause." Perpetual War Taxes. In its summary of the views of Republican Congressmen upon the question of taxation the Tribune says that "the main reason given by those who favor the abolitiorvaf the internal revenue system now, or as soon as practicable, is a desire to ! prevent inroads upon or the over-1 traveling men in the South, writes : A Negro Shot On Monday nightacrowd of about 40 railroad hands at work on tha canal at Ledbetter's mill got on a drunk and made the night hideous by yelling and firing pistols. Dur ing the racket two of the negroes, Geo. Galloway and Ramseur had a war of words, and early Tues day morning the quarrel was re newed, when Ramseur drew a pistol and shot Galloway, the ball enter ing his forehead and coming out just oyer the right ear. Ramseur fled with a pistol in each hand and has not been seen since. Galloway was alive Tuesday evening but bis death is only a matter of a short time, if he is not dead by now. P. S. Coronor Gay was notified Wednesday morning that the negro was dead, and went down to hold an inquest. Lower Richmond Items. throw of the system of protection." Ibis is a frank admission. It is directly in line with the resolution of the Republican National platform, which the frightened leaders sought to explain away or repudiate during the Presidential canvass, declaring in favor of "the entire repeal of the internal taxes xather than surren der any part of our protective sys tem." The plain meaning of these words Wa8 FREE TRADE IN WHISKEY AND TO BACCO rather than remit "any part" of the 47 per cent tariff, three- fourths of which is collected from the necessaries of life or the essen tials of manufactures. Though feebly denied during the canvass, in con cession to what Mr. Blaine called the "moral side of this question," the purpose is now openly avowed by a large majority of the Republi can Kepresentatives who have ex pressed their views. ROCKINGHAM MARKET. CORRECTED WEEKLY BY W. I. EVERETT, DEALER IN GEN ERAL MERCHANDISE. "In God's Country." The above is the caption of a splendid novel published in the No vember number of Belford's Maga aine. It was written expressly for that magazine and is copyrighted, but through the courtesy of Messrs. Belford, Clark fc Co. we have ob tained permission to run it as a se rial in The Rocket. We shall begin the publication of it next week and it will continue through probably a dozen issues. We know the men do not care much about such things, but we publish the news for them and must, of course, furnish some thing to interest the ladies. Lieut. Greeley started a blizzard down this way last week, but it got hung up on the way somewhere or thawed before it reached here. But we are not kicking aboit it At J. W. Griffin & Co.'s drug store you will find a nice assortment of Royster s plain and fine candies, and many other things that you need every day, all at lowest prices. Can the Charlotte Chronicle give us any light as to why we fail to re ceive it nearly every Monday morn ing, and quite often throughout the week ? We shoald be glad to know where the fault lies. Collision on the C. C. B. E. There was a collision between a gravel and a freight train on the Carolina Central, near Northwest, 18 miles this side of Wilmington, early last Monday morning, which resulted in the death of Geo. Smith, fireman on the freight. The freight i i was running on regular scneauie time, and had just pulled out from woodrack when the gravel tram ran into it. Both engines and sev eral freight cars were badly smashed and a number of freight hands slightly injured, lne wrecfc was cleared up in time tor the passen ger train to pass on regular schedule time. Mr. Smith's parents live in Laurinburg, where his remains were carried and interred on Tuesday. We are glad to see that Mr. Leslie Evans has fully recovered his health and has returned to his position with H. C. Watson, Esq. Mr. Evans is a clever young man, esteemed by our citizens generally. Mr. McKinnon, the contractor, is trvine to zet the upper story of the court house ready to hold the December term of court in. But for the delay in waiting for lumber the work would have been completed much sooner. Mr. Hawkins, the new depot agent, is a clever gentleman, and, so far as we have beard, our people like him The same applies to bis assistant, Mr. Dve. It is refreshing to find occasionally an agent of a big corpo ration who is not too autocratic to be courteous.

Nich oUon and M. J. Thrower, Esq. Both samples were very fine bright syrup, and we had rather have it than the Cuba or New Orleans molasses. We re glad to know that both gentle men found ready sale for their sur plus product at a fair price, and we will wager there was a greater profit n it than in cotton. From the Laurinburg Exchange. The Oil Mill has gotten down to work about right. A Council of the Royal Arcanum was organized here last night. It starts with 35 members. Since our last issue we have learn ed that it is not definitely known who did kill Duncan Chisholno. It must have been a badly mixed up affair. At the Quarterly Conference here last Wednesday the vote was a tie On the question of recommending to the Annual Conference that the Metho dist church here be made a station. Mr. W. T. Myers complained slightly of a pain in his breast while at work yesterday and also last night and died suddenly in his back yard this morning. He had just finished his breakfast and started to work. . Last week a pair of socks and a handkerchief were missed off of the clothes line of Mr. L. A. Monroe, and ot course, tne washer-woman was suspicioned. But a day or two af terwards a cow, which was being fattened for beef, was killed and both the socks and handkercheif were found unhurt in her.

From what we hear, there are some very incompetent persons em ployed by the Postomce Department. Mail irregularities are worse than we erer knew them to be. Recently a party here addressed a business let ter to a person living at Goldston, Chatham county, with directions so plain that any mail agent fit for his business could have understood them. In about ten days the letter wae returned without any explana tion at all, the mail agent seeming not to have known where the place was. We hope that now, since the elections I are over, Mr. Wanamaker will give his department more atten tion and free it from the incompe tent officers who got their places only because they proposed to be members of Mr. Wanamaker's party. A Big Gold Find. Salisbury, N. C, Nov. 8. News comes here to-day of a rich gold find in Montgomery county by Tebe Saunders. Last week he took out 2,000 pennyweight, and sent, be sides, seven pounds of gold ore to the Charlotte mint. In one rocker- ful of grit four ounces of gold was found. The gold is in placers' grit, and is the richest ever found in the State. Two peck baskets full of gold and specimens were taken out of the mine vesterday. Tebe has 100 at w hands at work, and gets so much rold that no pretence is made at weighing it except on a pair of gro cer s sea es. or to measure it in a half pint cup to pay the royalty which is shared bv the hands. Be- - low the grit small veins are feund that are more than half sold. There is no fraud about this, for the gold shows for itself, and it has created intense excitement here.

We learn that the work of recon struction on the Pee Dee mills is so far advanced that unless there is some farther disaster operations will begin during the coming week. The northwestern corner of the building which was undermined during the flood of August will be finished within a few days, and the work on the stone dam will be completed during -the present week. Earth will be still placed on the dirt dam so as to add to its strength. Quite a number of the operatives who left for other places soon after the stop page of the mill have returned to begin work so soon as operations are returned, and most of the others who are abeent we hear will do so. Full work cannot be done before the ear ly part of December. The Roberdel mill expects to resume about the first of December, but Midway can not begin so early. The damage by the flood was great enough to the mills, but worse to -the hands employed by cutting ofl their wages. J. R. Britt, Laurinburg, N. C, is headquarters for Buggies, and Road Carts.
