Death of Mr Richard Granger.-
The v Washington Press of yesterday
siiys: It is made our painful duty this
week to announce the death of Mr.
Richard Granger, Register of Deeds of
this county, which took place at his resi
dence in Washington, on Thursday last,
Bright'8 disease of the kidneys did its
work, and thus passed away one of the
most faitkful of Beaufort county's oSU
cials. Mr. Granget was a man of integ
rity and honesty and beloved by many
friends and acquaintances. He was a
member of the it nights' of Honor of our
town, and his remains were consigned
to their last resting place by his brother
members on Friday last. So passes
away all that is mortal of our friend and
brother. Peace o his ashes.
Richmond and McElreth's. This
company which plays at the New Berne
Theatre on Friday and Saturday night,
has lately made a tour through the
South West. Of their performance at
Knoxville, the Tribune of that city says:
It is but seldom that a Knoxville au
dience lias the pleasure of witnessing a
play so intensely interesting as "Hazel
I Kirke',ipre8ente4. last night at the
Opera House by the Richmond and 11c-
Elreth Company. It is .really the best
new play which. has been played before
the public in years. I
A large itudience witnessed the rendi
tion of this play fast night, and though
the evening was very warm, all enjoyed
the entertainment verv much.
The music furnished by the orchestra
which accompanies the troupe, 7 as ex
cellent. Several now operatic 'selections
were played with ( which the audience
were charmed.
An Argument
Against the Mid-
land. We hear
aeserted that the
Midland Syndicate has actually put no
money of its own into the extension of
the road from GoUsboro, but relies 6ole
ly upou the earnings of the Atlantic di
vision.
MM
This, if a fact wpuld furnish a splendid
argument in favor
of the new
manager
ment. Earning mouey enough to build
extensions is something new in the his
tory of the Atlantic Railroad, and if Mr.
Best and his associate managers can
develop sufficient business with the road
to enable it to build an extension through
the centre of the Slate to Salisbury, and
stimulate the enterprise and. prosperity
to justify it, it will certainly be the most
gratifying outcome possible, and as a re
suit,' demonstrate what oar people have
always maintained; that the North! Car
olina System is not only feasible, but iif
pursued would be the most successful
and profitable railroading in the StateJ
We should be glad to know that Mr.
Best could pay his: lease money, opera
ting expenses, maintenance of roadway,
foiling stock and machinery, and l build
the Midland Extension from Goldsboro
to Salisbury out of ihe earning of the
Atlantic Road. Such management and
energy would be equivalent to the ex
penditure and investment of capital
arcopg us, and all our people would re
joice at such demonstration of the possi
bilities and outcome of our section of the
State and; the railway line which pene
trates it. I
