Over 100,000 Dollars Worth of Property Des troyed. The great cloud of smoke that hung over Fayetteviile Monday evening like a huge black canopy and which many mis took for thunder clouds, was the result of the most disastrous woods fire that ever visited this county. Ten thousand acres of the best belt of timber in the county was destroyed, be sides miles upon miles of fencing. One house and numerous barnes were also burned, and it is thought many head of cattle, pigs, etc., fell victims to the flames. The fire started west of Little Rockfish. about 14 miles from this city, near tho Sessoms place, crossed Rockfish, Middle and Bones Creeks,and came within 9 miles of Fayetteviile, and but for the providen tial rain of Monday night, would have reached this eity, so fierce were the flames. Eye witnesses say that they never saw such a grandly terrific sight, for miles nothing but a sea of leaping, licking, shootiug, howling flames, the roar of which could be beard four miles distant. Hundreds of people could be seen all along the line digging trenches and felling timber but nothing could stop tho mighty march of fire nothing but providence. A. D. McNeill, Esq., of 71st, an exceed ingly conservative man places the loss at over $100,000. The fire swept a territory of 5 miles by 2, destroying over 2,000,000 feet of timber on an area of 10,000 acres. 4k food Worl for the Ainenal. The Wilmington Star always friendly to Fayetteviile said yesterday: Mayor Cook, of Fayetteviile, issued a call Monday for a public meeting to be held there yesterday afternoon to aid the movement that has been inaugurated looking to the rebuilding of the United States Arsenal of that place. Th Star sincerely hopes this movement will prove successful, and sees no. reason why it should fail if our friends in Fay etteviile act with their accustomed energy. There is not a more eligible location for an arsenal in the country rcertainly, not one in the South and we candidly, believe that if its advantages are fully and fairly presented at Washington, favorably ac tion will be taken. The State Convention. The Democratic Executive Committee in session at Raleigh last night called the State Convention to meet in Haleigh on the 25th of June. The Raleigh News and Observer says: The State convention was called to meet in Raleigh June 25th to nominate candi dates for Governor and other State oncers, and presidential electors-at-large, elect a State Executive committee, elect delegates to the National Democratic convention and transact all other business that may come before tho meeting. A large majority of the committee are in favor of the free coinage of silver and the sentiment seems to augur the adoption of a ringing free silver plank in the plat form to be adopted by the State convention. The city has a force of bands at work cleaning up the lower pajtpf the old cem etery, Thjs cemetery could be made one of the prettiest in the whole country by the expenditure of a few thousand dollars.
