The new law which came so near to

tracting gr. at a teiiti ui and discu-sion
atiioiie, ihe pi- pi1'. Owing lo th numer
ous iiuestioiis that were being asked Mr.
V. f. Melver gave the matter some
serious til-night, c msi ler. ng; what would
be the Lest way for the people to meet
the issues the law ha- forced upon them
lie r ached the f llou ing o inclusion.-:
If a D'cco ot red estate is to be sold
with deterred payments let a deed be made
to a thir l pariy, upright and reliable, on
the conditions that he i- to deed it to the
h.ivi-r when t lie re in a ind er of t lip mire ha so
j m-,)ev is pai,i and in case ot failure to
iay it lie is lo sell ir, and pay tile expen
ses, then the remainder due the original
owner, and the r- matnder, if any, to the
intended purchaser.
It it is desired to borrow money on roil
cslate Mr. Melver thiuks tiie only way
left is to give a mortgage and in addition
conte judgment before the Clerk of the ' Charleston paper showing thp bad condi

To "ive Mr M Ti ers own words he
siys:
"In connection with t lie new law as

The law leaves the niaitgage good except
I as against existing creditors, and the
mortgage will be good as a conveyance of
tho homo-stcad iutcres'.
T see no w ay of a g o i security 0:1 per-

This will be a little more expensive,

Di. P. .lu-rseu pi iiited the ordinary
corn. Good larming can be done and
wil' pay in North Carolina. Tobacco
once paid enormously .400 or hp re to
the acre and from ioOO to SI. 200 to the
hand far the best coal cureil leaf. It pays
well yet. but not half what it did iron
181'J to 1S75. But iliei'e is mqney in it ,
w hen the land is rich, the skill is good, I
the tobacco is fine. Some farmers still
make $150 or more to the acre.

Mr. Jarmau learning of the de-perate

j,il.
lint Mr. .Turman did not rest satisfied
w ith what he bad accompli-hed an I went
to work to see what was the past event in
the man's career that cau-ed him to seem
in suoli constant apprehension.
Mr. Jarmau s investigations at lust led
i hi!n t() su t
that the man was Ben
Hill, a ne
ro who in 1883 escaped with
t wo other prisoners from Craven cunty
jail one was recaptured but Hill and the
other succeided in makoig tfood then' es
cape Hill, it seems, was in South Caro
lina the last heard from. He was in jail here
lor killing his wife. His home was in
James Otv, but they had been off to work
in the country. He choked her to death
and threw her bi dv under Bachelor creek
b idge. 'i he earoner's jury thought at first
she was drowned but ihe marks were
found on her throat, the truth discovered
and Hill jailed.
Mr. Jarniiin on Thursday, the 38th,
had Mr. R. B, Blackle Ige. who still
lomembers and felt sure he could identity
Hill to come and se- if th - man in jtil
was he. A telegram announces that Mr.
ISlaekledt'e says the man is Ben Hill sure.
So. ulu-r the lapse of many years.
Hill is likely soon to be on trial
for the greiler crime an I may at last an
swer lor it with his life.
Hilh when living near Xew Berne,
j before committing the murder, is said to
have Peon a very violent tempered man

The Town Clock.
As tlier6 is such a general concensus of
opinion as to the desirableness of a town
clock will it nDt be well for a petition for
one to be drawn, duly signed and for
warded to the proper authorities ? Will
it not be well lor the board of city council
to take action setting forth the need and
desire of the citizens for this improve
ment to the public building? The ap
propriation is not likely to be exhausted
in the construction so there is no reason
why any modification of the roof that
may le necessary should not be made aod
the clock put in upon the completion of
the buildiug.
Dui; Into Bnrial Vault...
In digging to make the basement ot the
public building two old brick vaults were
lound each of which contained a few
human bones that had almost crumbled
away from age. Of course no one knows
anything about them.
It will be remembered that about two
years ago while the street hands were
grading Broad street, a human skelleton
was unearthed in the middle of the street
nearly opposite the residence of Mrs.
John Hughes. This was only about
eighteen inches below the top of the earth.
It will be noticed that the skeletons just
found were less than a block away from
where the first one was found.
Progress of Confederate Monument.
The Confederate monument has been
completed as far as the main shaft. A
scaffold is being built around the monu
ment to aid in getting the imnieose shaft
in place. The derricks have been strength
ened prepamtory to the great strain that
will be put upon them. This of course
is the most difficult and dangerous part
of the whole work of const rucl ion. The
contractor hopes to have the shaft in
place by Saturday night.
It is -aid no cement will be necessary
as the immense weight of the stone will
keep it in place. Ril. Correspondent

BiiNincNN Men Indignant.
A special to the News and Observer
says ihe business men of Greensboro are
very indignant over the new mortgage
law.
They declare it will work many hard
ships on a 1 classes. It cites the instance
of a bank president who had $6. 000 from a
Iridid iu another state had sent him to in
vest t here, but he will now send it bat K

A Mockery to Farmer.
The Fusion Legislature passed a 6 per
cent interest bill claiming that it was for
the benefit of the "poor farmer," und
then, as if to mock him with l.lse hoes,
turned around and passed a law prevent

price.
That is flic (ff -ct of the law iu rega d
