A hure rattlesnake, seven feet in length was killed by a railroad engine near Wilmington. The section master has had the reptile skinned for the purpose of mak ing himself a pair of shoes. State Auditor Furman savs that the number of pensioners in JNorth Carolina will be about 5,000, an increase of nearly 200 over last year. The pension war rants will be issued in .December. Mr, Wash Boyles of Slate, who has heretofore been an influential Populist of his section, has left the ranks of the 30 called party says the Danbury Reporter. Mr. Boyles declares himself a Demo crat in every sense of the word. Two years ago the Populisms carried Chatham county. This year the Republicans have re fused to fuse with them and have put out a straight ticket. The Democrats are hard at work or ganizing the county and hope to win. Three men of local prominence, who have been on trial at Smith field charged with burning their store in order to get the insurance on the stock, have all been ac quitted. The insurance compan ies have declined to pay the insu rance and have been suad. Isaac H. Smith, a colored lead er of Craven county, comes out in a letter in the New Berne Journal calling on all colored men of the State to assert their manhood and fight the fusion ticket, lie says the ticket is not a Republican one and not binding on the colored man. Judg-e Russell told the Wash ington correspondent of the News and Observer, last week, that the Democrats will elect every norai nee in the State.

The Sampson Democrat learns that seven wild deer were killed in Kenansville township, Duplin county during the past week. One was a line buck weighing 170 pounds. In Pitt county last week a man found a half grown deer m a ditch and killed it with a rock before it could escape. Charlotte News: The biggest shake-up in the Way of a wrick the Southern has had since it be gran business, occurred Saturday night at Holtsburg, a station just north of the Yadkm river bridge A Charlotte bound freight train was torn all to pieces, and the track was ripped for the distance of one mile, the accident was caused bv the dropping out of a pin of a Janney coupler. The pin bounded and lodged on the rail, a wheel struck it and then the racket besran. Ten box cars went tearing along the ground, some on one side and some on tne oth er side and were mashed to pieces. The track was unbolted or unspiked for a mile. Of the ten cars, fortunately ior tne com pany, six were empty. The other were loaded wi'n lumuer. GOOD ROADS. Three Hundred Men, Who Hean Bus iness, Say we flust Have Them. About three hundred delegates, representing many counties of the State, were present when the State Good Roads Conference was called to order in Charlotte's beautiful City Hall at 12:30 Wednesday, Sept. 13th. Dr. R. J. Brevard, Mayor of Char lotte and President of the North Car olina Road Improvement Associa tion, called the conference to order, and welcomed it to Charlotte in a neat speech, which was eloquently responded to by Mr. Jas. C bteven son, of Wilmington, and Mayor Pat- ton, of Asheville. Dr. Brevard is President of the Conference and Prof. J. A. Holmes, Secretary, Col. J. C. Tipton, of Salis bury, Assistant Secretary. After the organization and announcement of the programme the conference ad journed, re-assembling at 2:30 o'clock and immediately adjourned to visit parts of the city and vicinity where road building and repairing are in progress, being transported on elec tric cars tendered by the city railway company. Charlotte leads in this work and its inspection afforded much pleasure and profit to the del egates. In quarrving rock for ma cadamizing its streets, the city has opened up a hole large enough to contain the btate capitol at Kaleign and this quarry is right in the heart of the city. The steam drills, der ricks, and great rock crusher are all worked by a 30 horse power boiler. The delegates were also shown how the steam roller tears up a rough street and packs it down again smooth and even. At 8 o'clock the conference re-convened and Hon. S. B. Alexander, Member of Congress from the Sixth District, and the father of the Meck lenburg road law, gave a history of the law and a synopsis of its provis ions, explaining and emphasizing its adaptability to ail parts of the State. He was followed by Capt. W. E. Ar drey, his colleague in securing the enactment of the Mecklenburg law, who read an interesting paper on "What have good roads done for the farmers of Mecklenburg county." Showing that the agricultural inters ests of the county have been im mensely benefitted. One horse can haul as much as four formerly could, and many thousands of dollars worth of farm products were put on the market now that had no value be fore, the advantages of the city are extended to the country and along the lines of the macadamized roads lands which a dozen years ago could not be sold for $15.00 per acre will now bring $75.00 to $150 per acre, but are not for sale at any price. S. H. Hilton gave a history of the work ing of convicts upon the Mecklen burg highways, and how the county had come by experience to build much better roads now and at much less cost than when they began. Mr. D. R. Butler, city engineer, read a valuable paper on the cost of macad amizing streets and highways in Charlotte, with some interesting facts relating to the machinery and technical description of the road. He showed how the cost of this work of improving the streets and side walks had been greatly reduced by having better machinery. Following these papers, Prof. Holmes gave a stereopticon exhibition of large pic tures of the fine macadam roads to be found in all parts of Europe, and also of the bad roads in North Caro lina, emphasizing the fact that we have a great country, but we can never develop it ourselves, nor can we attract the thrifty and intelligent people of other States and countries to aid us until we have the good roads such as those people have at their homes. Thursday morning by eight o'clock the delegates assembled in front of the Central Hotel, where the citizens of Charlotte met them with carriages for a long driye over the country roads. The whole process of build ing the best modern roads was seen, and all kinds of machinery were at work grading the old country road; rolling the graded surface; the farm ers hauling rock off their fields and cording it along the road; the spread ing of coarser stones at bottom on the dirt road surface, and rolling them down; then putting on another layer of three inches of stone, and rolling this, and then two inches of fine crushed stone on top and rolling this. All along these macadam roads the houses and fences and the farms generally were in good condition, showing the influence of the roads. The only complaints that the dele gates heard was that these roads were not being built fast enough. The wagons they met coming into town on these roads were hauling loads twice as large and more than would be seen elsewhere, and the conclusion arrived at was that the half had not been told about these Mecklenburg county roads. At 11 o'clock the conference re-assembled at the City Hall, and an im portant paper read was one by Mr. W. C. McMackin, supervisor of roads in Wake county, on working public roads by county convicts. This pa per awakened a considerable inter est and discussion. The other strong papers were presented by Rev. Jno. R. Brooks, of Monroe, and Rev. Dr. Jno. A. Preston, of Charlotte, on the importance of improving the public roads as a means of increasing church attendance in the country. They showed how this vould improve very greatly the attendance at churches and Sunday schools, would enable us to have better churches, and in every way aid the work of the church and the improvement of the home life of country people. An other important paper was presented by Prof. Alexander Graham, of Charlotte, showing that our bad roads kept from 10 to 35 per cent, of children away from school in winter time; made it necessary to have too many school districts; and often made it necessary to have schools in summer, and this again interfered with farm work. Other yaluable pa pers were the following: 1. The Importance to the Farmer of Better Roads; by Col. John Rob inson, Commissioner of Agriculture. 2. Some Needed Improvements in the "Alternate Road Law;" by T. K. Bruner, Secretary of the Board of Agriculture. 3. The Ways and Means of the Road Problem in North Carolina; by J. A. Holmes, State Geologist. 4. The Capitalist and Public Road Improvement; by Dr. McAden. 5. Better Public Roads will Stim ulate Diversified Manufactures; by Maj. Schenck, of Cleveland, and Mr. White, of Alamance. G. The Road Problem in Eastern North Carolina; by J. A. Holmes. 7. The Need for Encouraging Su pervision in the Improvement of Public Roads; by T. K. Foust. 8. A Cheap, Good Macadam Coun try Road; by Prof. Wm. Cain of the Universitj7. 9. The Turnpike Roads of West ern Virginia; by Prof. J. W. Gore of the University. A number of important resolutions were adopted looking to the pushing forward of this road improvement work in all parts of the State, urging all the counties to provide for the use of all their convicts on the pub lic roads when sentenced for less than 15 years, and looking to the employment of engineers to super intend the road improvement work The conference adjourned to meet again in Raleigh during the State Fair in October. NON-PATIZAN JUDICIARY. The Goldsboro Caucasian says that no one who favors a non-par- tizan judiciary will now vote for Judge Connor. Certainly not, he is a partizan, says the Charlotte Obser ver. But Judges haircloth and Furches are not partizans. are they? Judge haircloth was not the Re publican Candidate for Lieutenant Governor in 1884 and did not stump the btate lor his party, did her Judge Jj arches was not the Repub lican candidate for Goyernor in 1802 and did not stump the State for his party did he? He did not write a letter to the Winston Republican, a few months ago op posing a fusion with the Populists, in the interest of the preservation of the integrity of the Republican par ty, did he? A typical pair of non- partizans are these two r s Pair- cloth and h arches. 1 heir partizan- ship has been made thrice as flagrant as that of Judges Shepherd an,d Burwell, but it is of a type which suits Mr, Marion Butler better And that's what's the matter with Hannah ! GOOD POINTS. In an interview with a newspaper correspondent, Congressman Grady makes some good points as follows: Mr. Grady thinks that the Re publicans would never have much exceeded the 37.000.000 per annum fixed as a limit by President Grant in something he wrote, it the South had remained Republican, as it was before 1876. Bat losing the grip it had on the Southern States and de siring to retain its grasp 011 the North, that party largely increased the pension roll, thereby acq airing a solid hold on the soldier vote. The business men, manufacturers, etc., stood the storm because lavish expenditures meant a high protect ive tariff, and these people were making money out of that or thought they wrere. But the point Mr. Grady desires to make specially at this time is this: The Populists lay great stress on what they would do if they were in power in the way of lessening ex penses and the like. The people of North Carolina have been told ad nauseam through the columns of the Progressive Farmer and Caucas ian what the old parties have failed espeeially what the Democrats have failed to do. Now, whatever may be the short comings of the Democrats while in power they have certainly reduced expenses. They have cut down the unlawful part of the pension roll. Men not entitled to pensions have been refused them, while legitimate pensions have been paid. But these economizing Populists what do they have to say to the bill intro duced by Senator Allen to increase the pension roll some three or four hundred millions, and other Popu list increases to the same end and nearly on the same line of extrava gance? When Baby was siclr, we gave ner iesvcvti. When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria. When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria. When she had Children, she gave them Castoria.
