ARRANGEMENTS ARE BEING MADE TO
HOLD ITS EELD TRIALS HERE,
It Will MritiK joo Sportsmen and
Several Thousand Dollars to
Hickory.
Mr. F. R. Hitchcock, presidei t of
the N. Y. Gun Club, and Mr. John
White, manager of the N. Y. Dog
Kennel, were at the iiiu for a few
days last week. They were here to
inspect grounds for the use of
sportsmen to try their clogs. The
president, when asked concerning
the facilities and location here pre
sented, replied :
"The grounds are not quite so
ample as those around High Point, '
which are now used by other clubs:
but I tnmk they will prove sufficient
for us. There is one advantage that
this locality presents, and that is in
the matter of hotel facilities. At no
other point where sporting grounds
exist in this State have we been able
to find ttie same accommodations
for the stay of the club."
' Have you selected your grounds
yet f"
'•Yes; we have fixed upon the
I body of land lying on each side of
Clark's creek, as I believe you call
it. We intend to make use of a
j tract about live miles in extent, for
whi 'h we are perfectly willing to
pay the owner for the privilege of
: hunting over, the right to belong
exclusively to ourselves.
"You contend for prizes, do you
not ?"
"We do. Ihe first prize is £500;
the second §3OO, and the third
Si 50."
"It seems to me ihat among all
your sportsmen there would be a
perfect slaughtei of birds."
"That is an erroneous impression.
We are merely training the dogs,
not trving te> see how much game
we can kill. Sometimes and, in fact,
most all the time we hardly kill
•J
more than five or six birds a day.
Netting does more to destroy them
than we sportsmen. We are anxious
to protect the game, giving rewards
tor killing hawks, and paving tne
~ *
netters to give up netting.
"When do }ou hold your fieid
trials I
"In November of the present
\ear. I shall return in a few da}s
to make the necessary ariangements
for holding them."
The members of the club
who were here have returned
to New York well pleased with
Hickory. Both directly and in
directly it will prove to the ad
vantage of Hickory to have them
here. Hickoiys reputation is
growing, and these sportsmen from
ever} State in the Unien wi'l sp end
it still further. Our genial towns
nan. Mi. li. 1. Lobb, under whose
auspices the members of the club
here last week made their exaiuina
t ion of tie gionnds, extends a cor
dial welcome to all sportsmen, and
SB} s that he will do all he can to
Halt their spoiling a success when
they come to Hickory.

Facts about Senators.
There are four members of the
United States Senate who can never
be candidates for the Presidency of
this Republic, under the Constitu
tion, because of alien birth. Sen
ator Jones, of Nevada, was born m
Herefordshire, England; Gen Mc-
Millian, of Michigan, in Hamilton,
Ontario; Senator Beck, of Kentucky,
in Dumfriesshire, Scotland: ami
Senator Pasco, of Florida, in Lon
don, England. While it is the ex
ception lather than otherwise that a
Senator was born in the State he
tectioaal lines ha\o been
closely observed. Of the Northern
Senator only two were born in the
South—Senators Cullom, of Illinoi-,
in Kentucky, and Senator Hawley,
of Connecticut, in North Carolina.
Not one Southern Senator is of
North e r n origin.—[ Washington

There was no emigrant train to
day, for the simple reason that the
Richmond \ Danville railroad com
pany, great as it is, could not get
enough cars to meet the demands.
In addition to all those reported
last week, 980 negroes passed
through Charlotte last night. As
fast as the cars can be returned
from Atlanta they are tilb-d up with
negroes and again sent out for west
ern connections. It is stated that
since the first of last October 21,-
000 negroes have left North Caroli
na, and crowds are yet to go. If
the exodus keeps up at its present
lick, all that wrangle in Congress
may be avoided.— {"Charlotte News.
Suicide of a Defaulting Official.
NEW YOKK. Jan. 25.—George H.
Lounsberry, defaulting cashier of
the postoflfice, who shot himself at
his homo in Hackensack, N. J , ves
terda}, when he became convinced
that his crime had been discovered,
died this morning. Three postoffice
inspectors who bad started to arrest
him, reached his house shortly after
the shooting, and they only left it
when the physicians announced his
death. So far as investigation has
gone his shortage is between £4.0,-

Cheatham is getting "skeerd."
He is looking f*ft»r his fences in the

teis have left to make it go Demo

Collector Eaves seems to hang in

were an outiage JJ on the people ot

in Pennsylvania. Mr. Ray, in
