WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE WITHIN
HER BORDERS.
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.

SFreaky weather, but it don't "tie our tongues."
Our stock is right ready to meet any change.
The $15 grade of Suits and Overcoats gives us a
text that commands attention. We're farther
away from the other ready made clothiers than
ever this season. Put our garments and theirs
at $15 side by side and you'd think ours were
"custom" clothes. You can tell we're doing
pretty "smart" work by the very faces the tailors
are making over the race we are running them.
If clothes lit are stylishly cut cut to new and
neat patterns and wear well where does the
$10 or 15 more they want you to pay come in ?
Economy and good judgment "turns theirs
down"- and turn you to us. Which is better to
buy fiom "life" or from pictures? From a
stock where yon pick out the completed gar
meuts try them on and "take in" the effect or
run the risk of a chance shot at a colored fashion
plate V In our way the cost is less and we'll
guarantee Perfect Satisfaction.
We are doing the making ourselves and know
whereof we speak. 'Tisn't for profit only It's
building up our trade to be exceptionally excel
