A letter from Dr. W. R. Capehart, of Avoca, to the commissioner of agri culture, says the heavy and most in cessant rains in that section have done damage to the cotton.

Dr. Capehart also says he is now feeding to stock ensilage which if four years old, and finds it perfectly good. He will exhibit some at the state fair. :. Newspaper Changes. Yesterday's Charlotte News con tained the following: Mr. W. E. Christian, son-in-law of Mrs. "Stone wall" Jackson, who is to be on the staff of the Ralaigh News and Observer, as associate editor, was formerly in Charlotte as associate editor of the Democrat, but for several years past has been connected with the ; New York Press, on which paper he has done some fine work, notably last spring, when he got hold of the line of defense by Breckinridge's counsel, and a few months previous when he went to Panama and wrote up the ca nal scheme. Mr. Christian is a versa tile writer, a man of good judgment and a thorough democrat, and the new owners of the News and Observer made a good stroke of business when they secured his services. He is here on a visit to Mrs. Jackson and to be with his children for a day or two. He will begin service on the Raleigh paper next Saturday. He is very popular in this section of the state, and our people are glad to have him nearer home. . News and Observer Publishing Company.

The managers have decided to make a new departure, and bate decided to ar range a free-for-all race, open to all horses owned in this state May 1 last. The purse U $100. The distance is one mile and 200 yards. Fonr horses are tt enter and three to start. The money will be divided as follows: Winner 50 per cent, second horse 25, third 15, fourth 10. It is very unusu al to charge no entrance fee. All the men who think they hare speedy horses now have a chance to prove that matter. The distance is one which will not affect a horse's re cord in future races, as it is more than a mile. Street Car News Notes. The cars are running well now and the schedule is close. The conductors are Burke Bunch, B. Gloverand Frank Royster. The motormen are M. W. Rigsbee, H. W. Warren, 'A. C. Bash ford, Frank Bell and J. C. L. Harris, Jr. Math. Jones is engineer at the power house. The cars begin to run at 8 a. m. aud stoji at 11 p. m.. Bus iness is quite fair now. The trip out to Pullen park is a delight. The rap id motion of the cars makes a most refreshing breeze. There are many visitors to this park in the evenings. As yet the lights are not put up in Brooksida park, so it has few visitors. The extension of the line to the union depot is soon to be made. That will prove a great convenience. The Weather Report. For North Carolina: Fair Saturday, preceded by showers on the coast to day or tonight. Local forecast: Sat urday, fair, continued warm. Local data for 24 hours ending 8 a. m. today: Maximum temperature 06; Minimum temperature 75;rainfall 00.0, Fair weather, with high tempera. ture, prevails this morning. Light rains have occurred at a few places since yesterday morning. The pres sure is low over eastern North Caro lina and Virginia, but is high both in the southern and in northern parts of the country. The temperature is very high in the west. Probably the warmest weather of the summer will be felt here Uuring the next day or two. Political Points. The Charlotte Observer saysof the platform adopted by the democratic state convention: "Very few com ments were heard yesterday on the platform. Some expressed the opin ion that the democrats had stolen the Lpopulists' 'thunder,' and had left them nothing to make a fuss with or about. Not one dissenter has been heard to the plank endorihg Cleve land and his administration. 'Take it all in all,' said one of tie local pol iticians yesterday, 'it is a broad glat form, taking in a full sweep, and al lowing room for populists and dem ocrats both to stand on.' " The Observer's Washington corres pondent says: "It was expected that the platform would be drawn in the modified light of the last few weeks. The action on primaries was antici pated, but the majority was larger than expected. The general opinion is that this fact strengthens senator Ransom, who is1 also regarded as stronger by reason of the drift of events. Attacked because of his friendship for the administration, he will be benefitted, it is thought, by the returning popularing of that great leader, president Cleveland." In the Market. The market prices for the week are as follows: Chickens, 10 to 25 cents; eggs, 121-2 to 15 cents;' cabbages, 5 and 10 cents; corn, 10 cents per dozen; tomatoes, 15 cents per dozen; potatoes (irish), 25 cents per peck; potatoes (sweet), 25 cents per peck; onions, 25 cents per peck; snaps, 25 eents per peck; okra, 5 cents per basket; peas, 5 cents per. quart; butter beans, 10 cents per quart; cantaloupes, 5 cents watermelons 5 to 25 cents a piece, ao cording to size.

AN ESCAPADE. It is AlleeJ Initios Mil ruJ Win Eloped with a Gnl. The (loldsboro Headlight, by re qilef;t of the lli.il- ncllib'-r of tin- con tracting parties, two weeks ago pnb lished nn niiiioiiiii'eiiiHiit of t he mar riage of Mr. Samuel Smith, of Vir ginia, to Miss Kiln Truitt, of Al.-i ina nee county, this state, alleged o have taken place at Black Creek, Wil son county, July 24th, to overcome the obstacles of obdnrate parents. That paper in its issue yesterday said: "Since then it has come to light that Smith, w hose real name is William K. Hay, is a iioMi-liaut and married man, of Burlington, who deserted his wife (who was a Miss Holt) and two children that morning, and by ap pointment met Miss Truitt, who was summering at Cicero luiuernl springs, and came here. The register of the hotel Kennon bears the entry of "S. S. Smith and lady,' both occupying room 12 that evening, before and after sup per. Hay endeavored to procure a marriage license here but being un able to establish the legal marriage able aire of the vonnir lady "he failed to obtain the document. Both left on the train that night for W'im..ii and through the proprietor of Ward's ho tel there managed to obtain a license at 11 p. m. Hay's age is given as 37. which is collect, but the age of Miss Truitt is put down at 18. when really she is not unite 17 yens old, accord ing to information given by her t'ath er. We have thoroughly investigated this matter but, are unable to obtain any record of their marriage, either at Black Creek or elsewhere, lla.y told us, iu the presence of Miss Truitt, that 'Squire Turner, of Black creek, tied the knot; but there is no such magistrate at that place. As they left Wilson early on Wednesday morning, coming here on their way to More- head City, there was no chance for them to get married unless aboard the cars. Their honeymoon (?), thougl brief, was spent at the Sea Breeze house at Morehead, both leaving there a week after. During their sojourn several telegrams arrived for Hay, in forming him of his wife's critical ill ness, and calling him home. Hay re turned to Burlington on Wednesday, August 1st, and Miss Truttt went on to High Point, returning home last Saturday. Hay tells it, that the young lady had the marriage notice publish ed for fun. Miss Truitt claims they were not married, as she refused after the license was issued." Master Sammie Link, aged 1.) years, was married Sunday last to a Miss Lyles, both of Forest Hill. Mrs. Lisk is about 25 years old and should train the child in the way it should go, "and when he is old he. will not de part therefrom," says the Concord Standard. The Big Fly Wheel Revolves.
