A General Epitome or Recent Occur rences Around and About Us, From l be Mountains to tbe Sea, as Culled from our State Papers. A fire at Statesville destroyd two bar-rooms and D. C. Rufty '& Co.'s grocery-store. At one time much of the town was in danger. Colonel S. MeD. Tate, the new State treasurer, resigned a Federal oifice which paid him $6,000 a year, to accept Hie treasnrership, and o course, will he succeeded by a Re publican. The excitement in Stanly county over the murder of Mr Francis Tal ley in his own house continues. Two white men, named Efird and Morton, are under arrest, charged with complicity. The murderers nearly cut off Talley's head with an axe. Two white men were lodged in jail at Rntherfordton for shooting into a train from which they had been ejected. They used revolvers and fired many shots into the cars. The railway people made up a posse and captured them after a short chase. William Hasten, a native of For syth, died Wednesday at the Confed erate Soldiers1 Home in Raleigh. The deceased was about 72 years of age and has been in feeble health for several years. During the late war he served in Company K, 43rd Regiment. While Mr. Allen Byrd, treasurer of Harnett county was absent from his home, he left a trunk containing $1000 of the county funds in his house, in the charge of his aged fa ther and mother. A few nights ago thieves went to the place and carried off all the money. The next Legislature will have to make increased provision for the in sane. The asylum at Raleigh is now overcrowded and many applica tions are on file. It was also have to make ad appropriation to complete the buildings for the deaf mutes at Morganton, work on which has stopped for want of funds. In Weldon, Nov. 25, a horse at tached to a buggy, in which were Mr. W. T. Medlin and Miss Bettie Boseman, ran away in the upper end of town, throwing the occupants out. Mr. Medlin escaped injury, but Miss Boseman was dragged some distance and quite seriously injured One of her arms was broken and she was otherwise cut and bruised about the body. The senation in Richmond county growing out of the murder of Deputy-Sheriff Livingstone and the lych ing of Duncan McPhatter, the negro desperado, does not abate. It is now alleged that Duncan Morrison, a white man, was making plans to or ganize a mob to lynch some of the men who captured McPhatter. The pursuit of Arch. McPhatter, Dun can's brother, continued until he was captured and badly wounded. The Hotel Zinzendorf at Winston, was completely destroyed by fire Nov. 25. No lives were lost. It caught from the laundry and hard wind blew it into the house. Some furnitture and most of the guests' baggage and papers were saved. The board of directors met at 4 o'clock and resolved it to be the sense of the the board to rebuild as soon as practicable. The loss will be $25,000 to f 30,000 over insurance. The Winston Sentinel says a mar riage was to have been celebrated in Winston this week. The young la dy had made all the necessary ar rangements so far as she was con cerned and was awaiting the arrival of her lover for the event to be sol emnized. The young man failed to put in his appearance. The reason given for his action is that the girl Whom he had promised to wed dis carded him once, hence "turn about was fair play." Saturday there was a conference between Governor Holt and the State Board of Worlds-Fair Man agers in Raleigh, at which it was decided that the $25,000 which the last Legish tare appropriated out of the direct-tax fund, but which at one time the Governor decided could not be so used, is now found to be available. This relieves all the trouble and a fine exhibit from this State is assured. Active work will now go on orders to that effect having been given. Dr J. J. Mott, of Statesville, ex- state chairman of the Republican party, was one or the bondsmen of the defaulting Republican Sheriff ot VY ake county, Rowan Rogers. The latter gave a bond for the coun ty taxes and another for the State taxes. The men on the county bond have sued those on Rogers's State bond, alleging that Rogers took money belonging to the county taxes with which to settle his State taxes (which are due December 1st an nually). They say this act of his was a breach of the bond, and they sue to recover the money thus di verted and used. It is an entirely new question in this State. The men on the county bond have had to pay some $10,000 shortage. The Supreme Court files an opin ion in a remarkable case. Two years ago Jennie Culberson, 25 years old, promised Samson Edwards, 02 years of age, that if he would give he $275 she would marry him, and that with the money she would buy a tract of land, taking this in lieu of her dow er. The parties live in Chatham county. Edwards gave her the money and she bought the desired land. She stopped there, as far as he was concerned, and married a young man of 21. Edwards sued to recover his money. The Court gave judgement for $275 against the woman, but that put Edwards no nearer his money, as the Court de clined to order the sale of the land and the woman had no other proper ty. The Supreme Court comes to Edwards's rescue and orders the sale of the land. It is one of the most singular cases on record. The Court holds that there was a contract, which the woman deliberately violated. A PARTIAL EXPOSURE. There Must ISe Something; Kotton in Denmark. (Cor. State Chronicle.) Sometime ago I saw in the Chron"- icle, some questions asked concern ing the management (or what now seems to have been the mismanage ment) of the alliance business agen cy, and of one Otho Wilson's connec tion with the same. It seems that the recent meeting of the alliance executive committee in Raleigh caused quite a flutter in the camp of the "elect and infalible." From all accounts it was a "glorious meeting," much penitence and many fair promises for the future. Can the Special Informer now answer the questions propounded sometime ago? Will brother Worth now deny that brother Wilson was paid by the "Durham Fertilizer Com pany" to sell "Our Official Brand Guano," and at the same time paid by him from the Alliance funds full salary and expenses? I will not ask him whether this latter amount was paid him in considera tion for services rendered in organ izing the third party and "Gideons Band," because he was himself a candidate on the third party ticket. I only ask for facts and not motives. The people constitute the jury in this and kindred matters and they willjcaref nlly weigh the facts, inspect and pass upon the motives. How much money was paid to Marion Butler, Rev. Massey, D. Reid Tucker and scores of others who were engaged in missionary work, educating and enlightening the people? How much money was paid to the "Progressive Farmer," the avowed organ of the North Carolina alliance but evidently the willing advocate of the third party, in order that it might live to abuse and villify the true men of the alliance, denouncing them as renegades and traitors. Thanks to the executive commit tee for making it possible to get at the bottom of these matters. They acted wisely in providing that any sub-alliance, having an interest in the agency fund, should at any time be allowed to "look at the book." If this had been the case all the while how different things might have been and how differently "some folks" would have fared. Many a poor fellow would have kept the hard earnings which he cheerfully contributed never dreaming that it was being used for the benefit of a favored few, in order that they might grow fat and saucy. The day, not of retribution, but simple justice is at hand, and in the language of a "third party delegate" in our demo cratic State convention, I would say to the brethern, "Look out, you will hear something drap presently." One more question ; What action did the committee take in regard to the future connection of Otho Wil son with the alliance business agen cy? Did W. S. Barnes abuse his office by an improper use of the alliance. TOBACCO, MEDICINE &c. hoop ' Em Boy R. F. KNOTT. A. HOBGOOD. G. V. KNOTT K . F.
