A FEW HOURS LATE. THE COMMON WEALTH force have been pressed with work since the election as they have not been in a long time. We have been careful to get up election returns.

Shot from ambush. JoeWisbel.an old colored man about 80 years old, was shot from ambush a few nights ago as he was going from Palmyra to his home near by. He had been to the village and was returning home quiely a few hours aftertiight fall. He had for years yoted the democrat ic ticket and those whoknow-him think that be was shot by some one who had a spite against him for voting as he does.

Heavy Less By Fire. A Day of Rejoicing. Last Thursday the election returns were opened at Halifax, and people from every precinct in the county were there. The Scotland Neck band went up and made music in honor of the vic tory.. There was speech-making, a general rejoicing and the Scotland Neck boys all returned wearing flowers which the ladies had given them at Halifax. Last Monday morning about 3 o'clock the barn and stables on the Grafflin farm ori Roanoke river about seven miles from town, were entirely consumed by fire. Sixteen head ol team, four fine oxeu, nearly all the farming implements, and a large quan tity of forage, were consumed. It is a large farm, working about thirty head of team, and all the forage of the farm was consumed, which with the team, the implements and the buildings, made a loss of some $1,000. About as many mules were saved as were destroyed. The fire occurring at a late hour, it was in full blast almost before it was known. Some young men whom Mr. W. P. Daiden, the manager, had left in the dwelling. house were aroused but only to see the great buildings and the pitiable beasts a heloless Drev to the merciless flames. The fire caught from the south, it seemed, and the wind being from that direction the flames soon swept through the entire building, making it impossible to work more than a few minutes alter persons reached the scene of the disaster. It was perhaps the finest and best equipped building of the kind in the county, and the community greatly svmnathizes with the owners in their great loss. The ceneral opinion is that it was the work of incendiaries. Mr. Darden wa-4 at his home in Scotland Neck'and as soon as a mes senger could bring him the news he went to thel scene of the disaster to find the fruits of much labor destroyed Suspicion rested upon three colored men, (Jain Smith, Alien xnompson and Richmond Norfleet. lhey were arres'.ed and brought before Justice J. A. Perry and kept in custody until Tuesday morning. The case was iieard when Smith and Thompson were released for want of evidence but Rich mond Norfleet was sent up to jail to await trial at the Criminal court. The Commonwealth deeply deplores such an occurrence and sympathizes with the losers of the property, and also hopes to seethe guilty partus brought to justice. North Carolina is almost in the throes of a resolution. To be sure, it is not very far-reaching, being confined to this State alone ; but it Is none the less in tense in its character. Albeit it has thus far been a bloodless levolution, its significance to the welfare of the State means much. The stamp of disapproval has been heavily placed upon the disgraceful State administration, which has ob tained for the past two" years ; and it fs the work of "the people" about whom demagogues have "prated so long and loud.
