NEWS ABOUT THE STATE. WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE WITHIN HER BORDERS. A General Epitome of Recent Occur rence Around antl About V, From the Mountains to the Sea, as Culled from our State Papers. Five thousand blue fish , were caught near Cape Lookout Tuesday. Ten thousand rockfish were taken in one catch in Pamlico Sound. In an affray in Wilkes county lately a man named Henderson was killed, it is charged, by Tobe Matthews.

Glowing reports of the tobacco crop are coming in, and it is said that the growth of the plants is very rapid. Cicero Eskridge, colored, was commit ted to jail at Shelby, charged with an attempt to ravish Ida Wilson, a eight year old colored girl.' The name of the office seeker, by all accounts, will be legion this year. Why this is so is "something no fellow can find out," but It is so. Mr. W. C.

After swimming across the river several times, on the last trip Mr. King sank and was drowned. It is supposed he was taken with cramp. So far as can oe learned, the attendance of the troops at the encampments will be considerably larger than ever before. There is much interest in the work and company commanders are seeking in all possible ways to secure a large percentage of attendance. This is very gratifying. There is a growing sentiment in favor of allowance for traveling expenses for judges and solicitors, in addition to their regular salaries. They ought not to have railway passes, but if they do not take them they speedily discover that travel ing expenses make sad inroads to their salary. A well known physician of Greensboro, it is learned, will give up his practice and will build a hospital there, of which he will take charge. He believes such an institution will pay and will also fill a need. Many persons can not afford to go North to hospitals. This will enable them to get attention here at home.

It is reported that Col. T. C Fulller, of Raleigh, was offered large fees but would not accept the task of prosecution. Iiussell has drawn bills against several parties, three of which have been accepted. Hood's Sarsaparilla is on the flood tide of popularity, which position it has gained by its own intrinsic, undoubted merit. We learn that we did Grant T. Fos ter, the enumerator appointed for Oxford township, great injustice in saying "he was totally incompitent for the place as well as being one of the meanest negroes in the county." He has a good education and is well qualified for the duties ot his office, as well as being one among our most reliable and trustworthy colored cit izens, and it affords us pleasure to make the correction. A Serap ofPaper Saves Her Life. It was just an ordinary scrap of wrap ping paper, but it saved her life. She was in the last stages of consumption, told by physicians that she was incurable and could live only a short time; she weighed less than seventy pounds. On a piece of wrapping paper she read of Dr. King's New Discovery, and got a sample bottle; it helped her, she bought a large bottle, it helped her more, bought another and grew better fast, continued its use and is now strong, healthy, rosy, plump, weighing 140 pounds.

We have seveiid times said much in commendation ofiMiss Clark's school, be cause we believe lier's is an institution of great merit.

She exhibited great enterprise in purchasing a builing for the purpose of education, and sli has established a most excellent institutn on a permanent basis. We are glad to klow that she is conduct ing her school wth so much ability and eclat. She is ana earnest worker in her chosen vocation, ft being with her a labor of love to do herfiuty to the scholars un der her cnarge. We bespeak a liberal pat ronage. Her entertainments are alva3rs of the highest character and contribute much to the enjoyment o those who attend them. Last night was Children's night and the chapel was filledfwith an eager audience. All were delighted and the many compli mentary remark? were well deserved. We wish we had sp;ce to mention in detail some of the features of the program.

If any of ouj citizens who are specially interested in tie finances of the town will i appear before jthe advertising boards in the corridor othe Court House, they will find a full stlement of the expenses of tbe town durifg the past year.- We do not think our people can gainsay the as sertion that w have an economical Board of Commissioners.
