The cotton receipts today were
heavy, for any time, but for this late
in the season they were extraordina
rily large. Our 200 bales were brought
in by farmers today. The price .they
got was from 4 3-4 to 5 cents for mid
dling. Said an indignant legislator this
morning, "a committee cant meet
without having several outsiders tltere
to advertise them what to do. There
are more lobbysts than I ever saw or
heard of and the worst of it is the
Ijlained committeemen do just what
they say."

day. He comes welMisguised, though,
and no one would think him a democrat,
judging from his, appearance, for a
beautiful and abundant crop of whis
kers and long, flowing locks of hair
give him the look of a Peffer. But
appearances are deceitful.
This morning a sad, little party
boarded the Seaboard Air Line train.
It was Mr. and Mrs. Hardy accompa

they brought back with them Sam
Ray, a notorious moonshiner who had
eluded arrest for over a year. Sam

time. As to the charge of larceny
"thereby bans a tale."
About a year ago deputies Watson,

To Start a New Resort.
This morning Dr. Ulrich, a wealthy
citizen of Chicago, was here on his
return trip to Chicago from Smith's
Island, at the mouth of Cape Fear

SENATE REDEEMS ITSELF.
A Bill to Give the Monument ?10,000 Passes
Second Reading.
It now looks as though the senate,
the same that acted in such an un
gallant manner towards the ladies
a few days ago, is to redeem itself
in their eyes. A bill has been intro
duced to gr a the monument associ
ation $10,000; the ladies asked for a
loan of the same amount. This bill,
giving the money, "goes them one
better." It passed its second read
ing this morning liy a close majority,
after a spirited debate. The support
ers of the bill feel confident that it
will pass its third and final reading
when it comes up in the senate to
morrow. Then it will remain with
the house to kill or let live.
The folio a ing senators spoke earn
estly in favor of the passage of the
bill: Moody, Fowler, Dowd, Grant (a
Union soldier,) Hoover. Those who
spoke against it were Candler, Black,
Sigmon and Fortune. The bill pass
ed its second reading by the close vote
of 5 majority.

A Short-lived Runaway.
This morning about 10:30 o'clock a
street car passed a buggy in which
were a young girl and an old man,
evidently from the country. The
horse was from the country also, -and
did not like those new-fangled street
cars a bit, so he made a wild kick at
having them pass hira. He gave two
or three frisky bounds and then he
climbed majestically up oa..the pave
ment in front of the postofflce. He
then carefully hooked the buggy to a
telephone pole, jerked himself loose
from the traces and started in the
door of the postofflce, presumably to
speak to revenue clerk Steed, who
was descending the steps. The young
lady gave vent to one little hysterical
scream and the old gentleman said
something tint sounded very much
like d n!! Then the horse, which
was dancing n jig on the steps, was
captured and the fun was over.
