The Wilmington Messenger says: Mr. C. F. Carroll, a ralway postal clerk on the Washington and Chatleston rail way postal route, informed a Messenger representative that a cut had been order ed on Fayetteville by the postomce depart ment. This means that the crews that have been running from Washington to Charleston have been assigned to keep up runs on the north and south divisions. It is said that this makes it much easier on the overworked mail agents, and the object is to give better service to the general public. The change went into effect Sunday. An Important meeting;. The State Executive Committee will hold to-night, probably the most important meeting that that body ever assembled for. Everybody seems to be in the dark. The Raleigh correspondent of the Wilmington Messenger says : The talk to-day was almost entirely re garding possible democratic-populist fu sion. There is naturally great interest in the meeting of the democratic committee tomorrow night. The powers of that com mittee are not nearly so great as those of the populist and republican committees. If any changes should be made in the democratic ticket would not a convention be necessary ? Yesterday, all at once, there was an out break of talk about possible changes in the State ticket and some democrats were heard to say "why not put Guthrie and Worth and Montgomery on the ticket?" Others protested against even the mention of such a thing. The session of the State committee is apt to be lively. Cumberland Court. To properly appreciate the great heat of yesterday and , this morning, one had only to watch the counsel, in the Henry Simpson case, address the jury.

At 12:15 the case was given to the jury, and they are now deliberating whether Henry. Simpson is guilty or not guilty of the charge of rape whether he shall be set free or condemned to death. Bishop Holmes, charged with murder, will not be tried at this term. The coun sel for the defense asked for a continu ance, giving several reasons therefor, and the Judge granted the request. One thing that always strikes a person upon entering crowded court room is the number of old men to be seen, es pecially old darkies.
