The proprietors of the Visitor are always anxious and willing to ac commodate their patrons as far as it can be done without detriment to the interests of the paper, or injustice to our friends. Our space is limited, and in order to make the columns at tractive, the matter should be as va ried as possible.

Potato Bugs. Correspondence of the Visitor. It is quite refreshing to see occasion ally a truly unselflish, public- pirited progressive man. Raleigh has the satisfaction and proud distinction of claiming, at least, one such. I allude to your whole souled, clever townsman, Capt. B P Williamson. He has done more per haps to revolutionize the system of farming in central North Carolina, by encouraging the cultivation of the grasses and stock-raising than any other one man or set of men. Bat my purpose was to speak specially of a new enterprise in which the Captain has embarked, and be it said to his credit that he sometimes makes sacrifices in order to prove his theories. He has fully demonstrated the old theory of growing two blades of grass where one grew before. The Captain, this spring, conceived the idea of propegating the specimen , commonly known as "potat obug," on an improved plan. Learning from observation, as well as the testi mony of his neighbors, that the Irish potato was the favorite food of this animal, bird, varmint or whatever you may choose to call it, he turned under the clover on his brag lot and planted in potatoes. Passing the lot one morning, just a'ter a rain over night, I discovered that one potato had cracked the ground, and that evening I noticed that it had disappeared, but on look ing down I discovered a whole regi ment of his "new importations ' set ting on his plank fence -with faces to the front Just like soldiers. It is both interesting and amusing to see them dismount in the early morning and their skirmish for the potato tops. The Captain evidently over-estimated the yield of his brag lot or -under-estimated the increase and capacity of his pet bugs. It is evident that the supplv of food has been en- tirejy Inadequate and the Captain f A Slanderer I'unlshett. might have been objected to the very serious and grave charge of . New York Star.

Thus endeth t e fi'&t lesson. Sklih Prwapeetn. Development of the South. The Chattanooga Tradesman, in its report of new industries established in the Southern States daring the week eiidiDg June 7th, records the organization of 57 new industries, the incorporation of 19 new railroad com panies and three electric street rail way companies. The Tradesman re ports among the new industries during the week at $5,009 cotton and woolen mill organized at Houston, Texas, a $250,000 cotton mill at Mon roe, La, a $200,000 car coupler frctory at New Orleans, a $50,000 foundry at Jackson, Tenn, a $500,000 gas com pany at Asheville, N C, a $100,000 cot ton gin factory at Pilot Point, Texas, a $1,300,000 mining and improvement company at Bartow, Florida, a $50, 000 development company at Carters- ville, Ga, a $1,000,000 mining and fur nace company at White SulphurJ Springs, W Va, a $500,000 develop ment company at Harper's Ferry, W Va, a $500,000 smelting works at Hot Springs, Ark, a $t25,000 woolen mill at Bridgeport, Ala.

"Amen." i ought to do to suppress the "rebel demonstration." From that he tarn. ed to a tirade of almae of Southern men and wouieu and especially the women, whom he chirged with the grossest immorality. Suddenly a quiet looking little man, with a Prince Albert coat aud a high hat, stepped up. There was something in the young man s race lie was not over twenty five that awed the crowd which had before been laughing at the orator. "Sir," said the young man, "I'm a Southerner." "Well, I can't help that," said the big fellow. "My mother and sisters are South ern women,' continued the young man, without noticing the interrup tion ani in the same dangerously quiet way. "Well," said the blatherskite con temptuously, "I don't-know but what they are the same as " He did not get any further. The little man hit him such a blow as I never saw delivered outside of a prize ring, a is "ring" for the instant' seemed to be a pile driver run by elec tricity. The big fellow went down, and, after a quiver, laid !still. The little man turned and said in the same quiet way: "Is there any gen- tleman here who sympathizes with his sentiments. There wasn't any one who did, and several of those present tried to congratulate him, but he modestly walked away. The big fel low, with a broken nose and both eyes swollen shut, was carried into a drug store to be patched up. No one seemed to know who either of the par ties was. Southern Cultivator. An amusing story is told of a weal thy old lady who had frequently ex pressed her intention of leaving all her money to her favorite servant. One day the servant was sitting in the kitchen talking to her sweetheart when Bhe said: "I wish the old lady was dead." A parrot which belonged to the lady had overheard this wicked re mark, and every time its mistress was in its presence it cried, "I wish the old lady was dead." The lady, get ting annoyed at hearing it so often, went to her minister and told him about it, upon which he promised to send a parrot of his, which was a very religious one, to stay beside hers for a day or two, and see if it would con vert it. This was done, and the lady going into the room where they were kept a few days after, was rather ta ken aback at hearing her own parrot crying out' "I wish the old kady was dead," and the minister's'responding in solemn tones, "Amen, amen." Jackson's Men at Richmond. fl A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun at Hagerstown, Md, sends the following incident in connection with the recent unveiling ceremonies at Richmond, Va: The morning after the unveiling of the Lee statue, as the sun rose over Richmond its rays fell upon a row of figures wrapped in gray blankets and sleeping on the green grass around the statue of Stonewall Jackson in Capitol Square. As the sun grew brighter and the bustle of life moves the city these figures one by one unrolled themselves from their blankets here a gray beard, there a gray head got up, yawned.and stretched themselves in the morning air. Just then a'citi zen passing by said to them in kindly aiaxiety :"Heaveh8,meD,c6uld you find no better bed in Richmond last night?" "Yes," answered ove, "there were plenty of places; all Richmond was Open to us, but" and he turned his face to the silent 'face of his im mortal chief and added, with a throb in his throat "we were his boys, and we wanted to sleep with the old man just once morel'' Ten Cents a Day Without Board New York Tribune. California miners who have re turned from China declare that the Lig Hi mines, of the riehness of which many surprising stories have been told, are ordinary quartz mines. They ere all operated by Chinese, who have learned from foreign miners how to run stamp mills. The ore runs from $25 to $50. The price paid for labor is ten cents per day without board. Rev. Sam. Jones. Charlotte News. Rev Sam P Jones is to begin a series of meetings in Norfolk, next Friday. In Richmond, last Sunday, in his talk to men, there were 12,000 in the audi ence. The sermon was a strong one, and was about the sin of avarice, drinking, card playing, dancing and theatre going. Richmond did not respond in a financial way, nearly as well as did Charlotte. On Sunday. a collection was taken up for Mr Jones and Mr Stewart, and though j there were 12,000 people in the house, not quite $1,000 was raised. Monday night, Mr Jones worked to raise money to pay off the debt of the tab ernacle, and despite his most earnest efforts, only $600 resulted. Judge Shipp Better. Judge Shipp's condition was con sidered at midnight last night more hopeful. If he is no worse today, the chances are in his favor.
