The continued cold snap is telling on the crops cotton and corn. The seas ons thus far have been quite unfavora ble through this section. Chills and fevers, of the summer and fall type, are quite common in the Bucklesbury-' section. Several cases within the past week or two.

We freouentlv hear comolaints about party Tings and machi ae politibs, or that a party is run by a few, for- their own purposes. - Theref is no doubt but much of this is done. : The cause is, that many stay at home, (and these in most instan ces are the - best . element of the : party) and take no. active part in selecting can didates, or in shaping the campaign. The remedy is, let aU, and especially those who complain and think matters badly managed, attend all meetings and see that the interest of the-party is at tended totand not that of individuals. Some unknown thief entered the store of Simeon Wooten in this place on Sun day: night while Mr... Wooten was at church.

The bud worms have been playing havoc on some farms. 7 1 believe H" is" the universal opinion among some farmers' in this section, that "Pate's Patent Cultivator" has no superior as an instrument to work young cotton. It thoroughly pulverizes the land , and throws sufficient dirt to the cotton. 7Jt is very simple iuachin , yet it does admirable work. It ought to be Introduced throughout the South. K-Thi .Ts .tbe pic nic season; and we have all been en joying k hugely. It was the good fortune of j-our corres pondent to attend one. of these pic nics on the Cth of May. given to the Bethel and Sharon Sunday Schools, by the Captain of. the Neuse. It was a gala day for the children. They seemed to enter into the pleasures of the day witli that enthusiasm which is so character istic of young spirits. But the company was not composed entirely of children. Maiden charms and , maternal disunity graced the occasion. 1 know I but reflect the sentiments of a!l those pres ent when I return thanks to Mr. A. G. Coward, the manager, and that genial and affable gentleman, Capt. Robert, for this day of enjoyment. A serious cutting affray occurred at Bell's Ferry Wednesday night, 17th instant. Joe Aldridge, a negro, cut a white man. Warren Wilson of Pitt county, the knife entering the back of the neck and passing round to his throat, making a very ugly gash. Dr. S. K, Woods was called in and rendered medi cal assistance. The wound is not con sidered fatal, and at last accounts the patient was doing as well as could be expected. Cause whisk-.

Taylor has gathered in 74 new subscribers for us in Hyde and Boaufort in the last two weeks. Mr. Elijah Ellis "'cleans "em up" on that Irish potato question. He showed one Monday that weighed twelye ounces. The New Berne Lodge calls the Re publican Convention, held here last week, "Craven county Ring Master and Office Holder's Convention. Major Dennison has received his new press and put it in the place of the old one that bursted at his oil mill. He is now turning out forty barrels of oil per week. The Catalogue of the University of North Carolina .for 1881-'82 is on our table. It shows 199 matriculates during the Collegiate year, of whom there were 8 Post-graduates. There are 12 resident Professors, and 2 Instructors and 1 non resident Professor, who occasionally lec tures. Prof. R. P. Pell, A. B., is Secre tary, and Kemp P. Battle, LL. D., is President. The necessary annual expenses, in cluding tuition, but excluding clothing, furniture of room, travelling expenses, Society fees and pocket money, vary from 169.50 to $233.00 per annum. We notice, in addition to the courses of study heretofore laid down, a Teachers' Course of two years, designed to prepare ; young men to be teachers, either in.the j public or in private schools. We notice in the Catalogue the names ! of two students from Hyde county, two from New Berne, and four from Lenoir I county. ! Died. CHADWICK. Mrs. Nancy Chad wick died at the residence of Mrs. Sarah Oxley of Pneumonia on the 20th inst. The funeral takes place this the 21st inst. at the St. Andrew Chapel at 8 o'clock p. m. The friends of the family are invited to attend. Hammtud Hay. Mr. W.j H. Oliver in opening a bale of Northern hay on yesterday ' found a hame and part of a trace in it. Per haps some one else may . find the other hame in a bale, and another may find the balance of the harness, which, if put together would make a good outfit. " M- J I, ' .- Railroad Meeting. We learn that a very enthusiastic railroad meeting was held at Trenton last Saturday. It was the day appointed for the meeting of the committee from Jones and Onslow counties.5 Capt. E. R. Page was appointed a committee of one to see President Best of the Midland Railway and submit to him a propo sition in regard to the road from Core Creek via Trenton to Jacksonville. Jolly Old Field. ' We learn the Trent River Transporta tion Company has purchased the Jolly Old Field landing in Pitt county on the Contentnea Creek, and contemplates erecting a wharf and warehouse at that point for the accomodation of their pa trons. We regard this as the most im portant Landing - in that section, and this move will be a great convenience to the shippers as well as to the Steam boat Company. This company has done much to increase and facilitate the business of Neuse and Trent Rivers and Swift Creek. ;V Superior Court The Spring term of the Superior Court of Craven will convene here: next Mon day. There are now on the State docket sixty -one cases, with a probability of being increased to seventy-five during the week.. The most .of these are for petit larceny, assaults and battery, etc.. there being only one important case that of Henry Bryan for the killing of J. M. Agostine. On the civil issue docket there are about sixty cases, and fifty-three on the summons docket. The States docket will probably con sume the most of the first week if the murder case is tried.- Change of Organization. The Democratic State Executive Com mittee has. just issued a supplement to tne .flan of organization published in the Journal last week. The only im portant change that we. see is in the number of delegates to be sent to the county and State conventions.. -Each township may send as many delegates as it wishes but snail cast in the county convention one vote for every twenty five voters instead of one yoite to every one hundred voters as heretofore. In Senatorial Judicial and Congressional conventions the counties may send one delegate for every fifty votes, instead of one vote for every one hundred. In the State Convention the counties may be represented by one vote for every one hundred and fifty votes instead of three hundred as heretofore set out. And alternates must be elected by the county conventions and not appointed by the delegates. Change of Schedule. " We learn that the Midland road will change their schedule on next Sunday to connect with the North Carolina road, and will come down in the evening in-; stead of the morning. ' -. ' ' " The Raleigh train reaches Goldsboro at half -past 6 p.m.. and this will place the Midland train in Morehead as late as 9 or 10 o'clock. Cant Dr. Blacknall, in behalf of his guests for the coming season, get the R. & D. authorities to change their schedule a little so as to get to .Goldsboro a little earlier ? The cars now lie over in Raleigh about four hours, and if they would stop this and come on direct to Goldsboro the Midland cars could leave there by 3 o'clock and get into Morehead by sun set. If Dr. Blacknall can secure this concession from that road he will be rendering his guests a great service, for no one likes to arrive at his destination in the night. It has been a great incon venience heretofore. Closed the Trade. Last Friday a man stopped at the door , of Harrell's shoe shop on Middle street : with a sack in his hand and inquired; "What do you have for half soleing j boots?" "Seventy-five cents," repliedlarrell. j "Well there's a little something to do I to the heels, can't you do the whole thing for seventy-five even money ?" 1 "No, must have a quarter for the j heels. One dollar for the job. " j "All right," said the man throwing down tne sack and beginning to move off. "Hold on Mister,"' said Harrell as he j drew out a boot about fourteen inches j long from the sach. i "Never mind" said he. "I'll be round 1 church was literally crowded with peo . after them this evening. " pie, all of whom seemed to be deeply ' Harrell knew by this that the fellow impressed. There never has been so i considered the trade closed, so he had I mueh feeling shown on the subject of j to make the best of it. He half soled the ! religion as there is in our town now, man's boots but he says it took just one ; and the labors of the Rev. Mr. Puckett and a half dollars worth of leather to do it. He makes no more trades with a man with a sack on his shoulder without ex- ! amining his feet. There are some negroes in Georgia who know how to make money and save it, as will be seen by the following fig ures from the Comptroller-General's re port for the present year, 1881, which show an increase of S671.179 over the previous year Number of acres of land, 660,358; val ue of land, $1, 754. 800, city or town property, $1,323,045; amount of money and solvent debts, 96,399; household i and kitchen furniture, $600,892; horses, mules, etc:, &2,213,021: plantation and mechanical tools, $225,973; value of oth er property not enumerated, $264,821; aggregate value of whole proiertv, 6, 476.951.

Latham. It was in good order and sold well. Sam. Ipock and J. J. Spear, fourteen miles from the city, have planted sev eral acres in Irish potatoes, and they will dig and ship Thursday.. Mr. J. C. Whitty of Polloksville, was in the city on Monday. He says the ground has been broken for the Baptist Church to be erected there 4 Sheriff D. B. Hooker of Pamlico called on us on Thursday. We are glad to hear the cold snap has not seriously hurt the crops of that fertile county, . Miss Johnnie Bell, of Ilaslin, Beau fort county, is sojourning in the city a few days. She is a Bell by name and also a belle in beauty and attractions. We had a pleasant call on Tuesday from Messrs. Macon and J. N. Foscue of Jones. . The pleasure was enhanced by a new subscription foe 'a cousin in lexas. W. S. CB. Robinson was in the city yesterday. He is in mortal dread of living the life of an old bachelor, and appeals to the newspaper men to help him to procure a we. Mr. Wm. Foy was selling a lot of sheep yesterday to Capt. Southgate of the steamer New Berne. The price paid was three cents jper . pound for live weight horns, hoofs, wool and all. Mr, D. K. Parsons of Maysville, Jones county, called to see us on Monday. He reports a-pretty fair stand of cotton in his neighborhood. Says he dropped f jn to tell us what a good paper we were making. 7 AH: Tumelrofk county, was in the- city yesterday and reports the crops in fine conditions The farmers are fully up arith theirwork, and a large quantity" of rice .will be raised if the seasons continue favorable. We met Mr. Frank Foy, of Tones, on Friday and asked after his sheep inter est. He keeps several hundred in his flock and thinks they pay pretty fairly, although he is troubled some from rav ages of two, as well as four-footed dogs. Mr. J. E. W. Sugg of Sugg Bros, near Snow Hill was In the city on Tuesday. We were sorry to learn from him that John Grimley'sarm was still giving him much trouble. John has many friends in this part of the State who feel sin cerely any trouble falling on him. Mr. G. K, Dixon from near "Polloks ville, Jones county, dropped in on Mon day to have his name entered 011 the Journal book. He says. Col. N, Whitford is the coming man in Msilis- trict for the Senate. He also reports labor plentiful in his neighborhood and cotton doing well. H put forty acres t-s-h n oronl loaf mtraAb- Mr. T. A. Green and Caps! H.-Gray returned from Baltimore and Norfolk on the steamer New Berne .yesterday morning. They failed to find a suitable boat for the New Berne and Pamlico Steam Transportation Company, but had several good propositions to build one, which they will submit to a meeting of the Board of Directors some time next week. Superintendent J. C. Scarborough ar rived in the city Wednesday from Jones county, and took the train for Raleigh. He was sent down by the State Board of Education to examine the TFhite Oak pocosin lands in Jones and Onslow counties. He declined to " be inter viewed, or rather refused to intimate .'what his report to the Board would be; otherwise, lie spoke favorably of the lands, and says he used every effort to obtain the views of those living on the borders of the pocosin, and all others who claim to know anything about it. We hope he will use his influence in having the convicts sent down to com plete the road, already begun, through the -pocosin and cut others in different directions. We have contented all along that the whole State was interes ted in the cutting of roads through these lauds', and the fact that new entries have been made since the beginning of the Quaker Bridge road is evidencethat the market value will be materially in creased by so doing. , : Morehead City Items. Mr. Editor: Our town is terribly ex cited over a horrible case of infanticide. Some unknown colored woman took her child supposed to have been alive and buried it under the southwest corner of the Atlantic Hotel, but either through fear or some other cause, neglected to bury it deep and the dogs detecting the smell dug it up and eat off the legs and arms, the head and chest remaining in tact, when it was discovered by a boy who made it known, generally. Mr. A. H. Webb, telegraph operator here, was appointed by the Probate Judge as a special Coroner in this case, and sum moned a jury of six men who, upbh'in specting the body found it in such a mutilated condition that they deemed it their duty to call in a physician and the meeting was postponed for the time. Suspicion points strongly to a certain mula to girl. Will try to give you fur ther facts as they become known. On Wednesday last the two Norwe gian barks in our harbor were literally loaded with bunting, and ever and anon a salute was fired on board of the Qxild britiga. All this was done in commem oration of the coalition or union of the governments of Sweden and Norway j under the reign of King Oscar, it having taken place on the 17th of May. The i Captain of the Giddbringa says they have i had five National holidays since he lias been here Shrove Thursday. Good Fri-1 day. Easter. Prayer Day and Ascension Day. He says if any person is caught at work in Norway on either of the above I days they are liable to a fine. The Rev. J. E. Mann, presiding Elder for this district, preached .for .us on Wednesday night from the! text : "And your covenant with hell shall be disan- nulled and your agreement with' death shall not stand." Isa. 28 ch. 18 v. The ! are being blessed. Mr. B. B. Rainey. the clerk of the At lantic Hotel, is busily engaged cleaning : up the house. He says that.Mr. Catling j is going to build two cottages of twenty- six rooms each, to be ready by the 1st of j Jul-. These cottages are being framed 1 now at Goldsboro, and will be brought : down soon. This certainly will be a huge affair before the enterprising Major gets through with it. to whom j not only this town but the whole coun- tv owes a debt of gratitdue. The Baptists of this place are earnest ly at work raising funds to build them a church. The Shepherd's Point Land Company with their usual generosity, though it is not becoming in me to say so, have given them two lots for build ing purposes. They commenced to unload one of the barks of ber rails vesterday. and from 4hmmberf trains leaving, hem loaded it looks as if the management of the Midland had 'commenced, to. lay their track or tracks with energy at last. There are, now stopping at the old Macon House Sans Souci Hotel Mrs. Claypoole and family, and Miss Kilburn, all of your city, who seem to be enjoying themselves finely. This is verv early f for summer boarders. The interest in the meetings of ilie Rev. Mr. Puckett seems to increase in stead of diminish : he is now assisted by the Rev. Mr. Fleury of New Berne. L. A. W. Polloksville Items. No Daily Journal to-day: somebody overslept himself. suppose The fishing club has disbanded, and the croquet club has resumed business. We have a very interesting Sabbath School now in Polloksville with John C. Whitty as Superintendent. The lumber for the new Baptist Church is being hauled, and work will be commenced on it in a few days. It is a mistake about the "Fishing Club" angling in vain, for they are sure it catch an Eel every time they go fishing- " " If Prof. Vennor is responsible for the present cold snap, I think a committee should wait on him and ask him to hold up awhile. Mr. Oglesby returned from Carteret last Saturday with his bride, ami of course the young gents of the place give him a calathumping. The cool weather for the last few days is making the cotton look very bilious. We notice that Mr. Vennor predicts a very cool and wet summer. , t We saw one of our merchants a few days ago having a steam engine placed in his store, and a gentleman from the country asked us if Mr. intended to discharge his clerks and run his store by steam. Farmers are busy chopping cotton. Some complaint of scarcity of hands. We noticed one of our farmers in town a few days ago buying a very sorry hoe (of the goose-neck pattern), which we suppose he intends to use himself. Mr. S. Hudson is negotiating for a brick machine, as he contemplates going into the manufacture of brick. This machine is capable of turning out from 15,000-to 20,000 bricks per day, and will add another enterprise of great import ance to this place. Mr. W. Koonce will in a few days be gin work on Mr. Hudson's store, en larging it. He is running a force of six hands besides himself, and has just all he can do. He will finish J. H. Bell's new store in a few days. It is showing off now considerably with its new coat of paint, and will be when finished the best building in town. Jones County Items. Rev. Canady Flowers, an old colored man, died on May 13th. Mr. Jacob F. Scott, who has been sick for some time, is slowly recovering. Mr. Abram Hnggins, formerly of this county. but lately of Craven, died on the 6th of May. Charles W. Lindsay is canvassing the county as a book agent, and is meeting with fair success. Mr. P. M. Pearsall lias left Trenton for a few weeks visit to his old .home in Sampson among the "big blues." Thos. C. Whitaker, late of New Berne, will, open a store soon in Trenton. We welcome him back to his old home. Miss Lou Edwards who has been teaching sometime" in Trenton will leave for Kinston. She has gained many friends in Trenton. The Methodists are going to, build a nice parsonage in Trenton opposite Mrs. Pritchett's. Rev. Mr. Johnson of this Church preaches at Cypress Creek every 3d Sunday. Elder A. Hart of the Disciples preached at Deep Spring on the 2d Sunday of this month; and Rev. George Harrison of the Free-Will Baptist preaches at the same place every 3d Sunday. The.peach crop around Trenton bids fair to be a good one the best for many years; Irish potatoes are fine; plumes will Boon be- plentiful; cabbages are ripening, and the persimmon crop is yet far off in the distant future. Julian Bender has returned from a visit to his home in Onslow, bringing with liim a pet alligator. His 'gator ship seems to have a fondness for law yers; he smiles whenever Captain Ras berry or Cab. Koonce goes around. Guess he wants an injunction served, or Jiabea-H corpus prayed for. .Onslow County Items.

H. : ; :. : : 1 : : : 1 Greene County Items . Stow Hill, N: ., May 21, '82. Mr. Editor: The cotton, wheat and corn. crops of this county have been greatly damaged by the frost and cold weather. Mr. J. B. Faircloth is up from the attack of rheomatism and is improving j fast. 1 A nnther uew jewelry store is going up : in Snow Hill; it is being built for Mr. I Henrv Potter, of the firm of Exum and ! Potter. i i Dr. C. Thompson from Onslow and i Mr. Frank Brown of Jones were up to j the ball, in fact the boys rolled in from an parts. More Anon, There was a grand ball in Snow Hill on the 14th inst. There were two belles from a distance present, one from Hick ory, the other from Wilson. Music was I furnished by the Kinston band. We have a florishing Temperance Council in Snow Hill now, but it has not been fortunate enough to reduce the number of bar-rooms, but is no doubt doing a great deal of good. The Dis trict Council met at Ormondsville on the 19th inst. Ephkim. HM1j to Warwick. j "N'mw Counts', May 17. 1882. Mksisks. Ki itors: An article in the Journal from Uichlands, in this county, dated May 4th. and signed "Warwick, Jr.'' may deserve some attention, from the fact that the people abroad know nothing concerning the matter which the writer undertakes to make capital out of, but many do know Foiuethinjj of the author, and ome are thoroughly ac quainted with his animus. If the arti cle was passed by unnoticed (as it de serves to be) it might perhaps create a wrong impression in some quarters. "Warwick Jr. V article is so full of misrepi esentations, and his attempted reasoning and inferences so puerile, that to undertake t follow him through, and to make a full exhibition, would take up more space than ought to be done in an ordinary newspaper communication, and which, if done, might be attributed by some to be a defence where none was needed. The statement that the indebtedness of Onslow county "does not extend back beyond 1876," and that at that time the Board of Commissioners then in office "'published a statement showing the county to be out of debt and a surplus in the treasury," is simply not so, and what s more. "Warwick Jr." knows it well. A statement was posted to the effect that there was $1,200 or more in the hands of the treasurer; this was so, and it was done, if I am correctly informed, to hurry up those holding claims against the county, so that they could be pre sented for payment; and "Warwick Jr." has heard this explanation often. A statement was posted up at the end of the fiscal year, showing a' balance Out standing of $2,500 or thereabouts. No one regrets more than, the writer of this article that the jurors at the last Spring Term of the Court were not paid, and he would like to see a law nassed by the next General Assembly requiring the treasurers of the different counties to retain enough in their hands to meet the pay of jurors, and in his opinion an act of this kind would be eminently just and proper. The explanation that he has heard made as to why the jurors failed to receive their pay is this, that there was no money in the hands of the sheriff and acting treasurer to pay with, that it had been exhausted in the pay ment of other "current expenses." He is informed that the jurors were told that they would be paid out of the first monies that came into the sheriff's hands, or that their tickets would be re ceived for taxes. Numbers of jurors, though, got their tickets cashed at one hundred cents on the dollar by parties who had the money to spare, or who owed licensed taxes, so the writer has been informed. Now I propose replying to the spirit that dictated the article, and noticing somewhat the author. "Warwick Jr." is generally considered to be the irre pressible and immortal 0f old note fame, a long range lawyer, who, it is said, like a distinguished Republican leader of the State of Pennsylvania, Bill Kemble, understands "addition and silence, "but , unlike his great prototype, is not well grounded in the rudiments of "division, " therein these two great men differ. One, the former, has been a sort of standing candidate for every thing and anything almost ever since he was "pipped, ' ' and has succeeded in get ting nothing unless it be laying the cor ner stone of his existence money. An Ishmaelite, and one whose "independ ence" in all things consists in chronic grumbling and fault finding. But the most astonishing thing in his whole article is to find him compliment ing such able, learned and just Judges as Seymour and Gilmer. Well, these distinguished gentlemen have cause to congratulate themselves upon escaping that which numbers of others have failed to do, the unbottled reservoir of gall of the elegant, virtuous, and chaste "War wick Jr." The best informed people in Onslow county know that "Warwick Jr." has for years been assailing and criticising very unjustly the financial management of our county, and saying and writing little Fpiteful things about its officers. They know that he has done more to de preciate its county paper, more to dis organize the Democratic party (when under a false color he assumed to be one of them) than auy man we have ever had. Now the mask is torn from his face, politically and otherwise, and none are so poor as to do him reverence. He is over into the Republican party, body and soul, and with no goods to deliver except his immaculate self. But mark you, he will soon le giving that party a taste of his peculiar methods'that will cause them to think that the "heathen Chinee"' is preferable. Democrats manage the financial af fairs of Onslow county, and the political machinery of the Democratic party is under the control and management of the Democratic majority, and every one is in the free and full enjoyment of all civil and political rights guaranteed by the laws, and votes as he pleases, and in this way and by so doing they have suc ceeded in running the so-called "politi cal machine" so as to keep "Warwick Jr. "out of all ositions of honor and trust withiu their gift. And they will continue to do so unless some stuien dous change takes place ou the part of the irrepressible "Warwick Jr." and which recent developments would seem to indicate is still in the far distant fu ture, if ever. We have a very expensive county charge in the bridge across New River at the county seat. It is a very import ant bridge to our citizens, you might say almost indispensable. The bridge required overhauling and repairing, and in 179 the Commissioners levied a special tax of six cents on every hun dred dollars worth of taxable property and eighteen cents on the jk11 to repair it. They said from what it was going to cot that it would be out of the ques tion to meet "current exjenses" with out said tax. The people came up with out grumbling and cheerfully paid the tax. But how was it with "Warwick Jr."? He sues out an injunction, re-; lieves himself and causes tne county to ; or three times the amount of his tax for costs. Now he rides over it, ; walks over it, and would be the first I man in our county to find fault with and sue the county in case of an acci- dent. This is one of the evidences of : his public spirit, his county pride. But enough. If all that could be said, and said truthfully, was in print about I .somebody it would make a good sized I book, and with some as readable as Scott's '"Heart of Midlothian, Dickens' "Pickwick Papers," and George Eliot's Daniel Deronda.
