School Building. ' The brick work on the new school building is nearly completed. The larger part of the wood work on the loof will be completed this week, and by the first of August it is expected the tin work will be finished. If no un foreseen accident happens, Mr. Oliver's promise, on the part of the building committee, that the next session of the school would ; be opened in the new building will be realized. : Good Cotton, Mr. Geo.

He is one of the ' most practical and successful business men in North Carolina, and by his many sterling qualities of head and heart has endeared himself to the indus trial clasps of the State as probably has no other of our public men. He had .many warm and zealous supporters all 1 over th - State for the gubernatorial - nomination, and should the Democratic party see fit in the election , four years hence to elevate him to that exalted po' Bition, we would have a reproduction of the business-like administration which has so eminently characterized that of the last four years and mark a sew era la our material growth.'

This is an in vention of Mr. Allen's for the use of his own household and is a perfect success; he having one that has discharged the duties for which it was designed, eighteen years. The shape is much like that of the rocking horse except that instead of the horse which accommo dates but one rider, this takes the form of a carriage with three seats and ac commodates from one to six children at once. Une can rock alone or anv num ber up to its capicity which is six com fortably seated and not over crowded. The exercise is healthful, safer from accidents than an ordinary swine and will amuse a whole family and some of the neighbors besides. Two vouner ladies can rock in it in perfect security, as it is well braced and of sufficient strength. It is well adapted to the en joyment of the young and contributes no little to the comfort of the older members of the family by engaging the little ones in innocent and unexposed exercise, while they are themselves en gaged in other duties. luessrs.

Mann, a well known merchant of this city, died at bis resi dence, corner of Bute and Bank streets, Sunday morning, after a long illness. Mr. Mapp was a native of Eastern Shore, but had lived in Norfolf for a number of years, where he had been successfully engaged in mercantile pursuits. At the time of his death Mr. Mapp was at the head of the house of Mapp & Co., and was a man beloved by all who knew him. He leaves a large family, among whom are two sons who have for a long time been his partners, and who are in every way capable of caring for the trust confided to them by the father wno, in au tne relations of lire, was a good man.

Whltford Explains. Newbebn, N. C, July 16, 1884. Editor Journal: I am not omxsed to criticism, if fair, it is proper, and if unfair generally falsehood brines out truth when it is otherwise designed. But it has been suezested to me that other interest than that of the road of which lam executive officer might suf fer at this time from misrepresentation respecting its earnings and schedules, if not explained. Therefore I will state, notwithstanding the belief of many in this community, from the recent asser tion that there has been less tiavel over this road up to this time and at this season than has been years, it is not true, as the following statement of the book-keeper of this company, Mr. Dill, will provp. He gives the passenger earn ings tor tour years as follows: June, 1881, $1,997.94; June, 1882, $2,737.85. (This was during the management of W. J. Best & Co., the most popular known in the history of the road and absolutely without oriticism at that time.) June. 1883, 83,038.66, under present man agement last year; June, 1884, $3,084.62, witn tne returns or the sale of tickets by the Pennsylvania and Richmond & Danville roads yet to be added, which will make this year's passeneer receiots over $3,200, and in excess of any other year in six, as in 1879 and 1880 they were about 81,500 and 81.900. It will be recollected last month was cold and unfavorable for summer travel. Again, it has been said and believed in the community that fifty-one (51) passengers left Tarboro laBt week for Nag's Head, and their only objection to spending some considerable time at Morehead City was the trouble, annoy ance and expense caused by the delay occasioned Dy , me present schedule, they being compelled to lay over a night and day at Goldsboro. Now for the fact. The agent of the W. & W. road at Tarboro telegraphed our agent on the 15th inst: "I am informed eight (8) left for Nag's Head last week. " It is prorer here to state that about the time of the change of the schedule of the A. & N, C. R. R., I met, by appointment. Capt, J. F. Divine, Superintendent W. & W, Koad, at Uoldsboro, and there he. with out objection, conseutsd to run with passenger cars in it one of his daily way ireight trains from weldon to make close connestion with our passenger train at 4 o ciocic at UoidsDoro. as soon as the summer travel should require it. This was done some days ago, and the citizens of Tarboro and other places on the line of the W. & W. Road can now make convenient connections with us at Goldsboro when so desired. I do not believe the managers of the W. & W. Road would turn off passengers when offered, and if they do not come this way it is because they prefer to go else where. In arranging our present schedule. every interest of our people was duly considered. If we left Goldsboro at night it would increase the expense and risk of running our unusally fast trains for this road, which would not be proper to incur without some certain benefit to the road and public. As a matter of course, running night trains would have lengthened the schedule over the road 1 . 1 f ana mucn interierea witn our way travel. Moreover, the latest Northern letter mails, and all the paper mail north of Baltimore, are carried on the fast train on the W. & W. Road, which reaches uoldsboro about o o'clock, p.ni Thus if we were to wait only for the train due at Goldsboro from the North about 6 o'clock, we would not receive the daily papers here as early by several nours as we oo now. most of them would probably not be read until the morning after the arrival of the train at night. It would make a midnight scneauie tor morenead, and of course there and at Beaufort all mail matter would remain in the office until sun riser Then again, would passengers enjoy such a schedule? like turning out at night over the entire line? We think not; and if run would destroy in t measure our summer travel and all in terest connected therewith. Is not the E resent schedule the very best for the usiness men of Goldsboio, La Grange. Kinston, Newbern, Morehead and Beau fort I mean that we could run with one tram. Passengers going up can spend a few hours in the towns above us and return before night; those com' mg down can have time in daylight. evening and morning, for business. If part pf the great Northern mail, without the papers, were delivered earlier. would it compensate for the loss that would otherwise accrue to our business men from a night schedule? Pleasure seekers would turn from it. But the mails by the present schedule from Wiimiagton and all points south of it, and from Raleigh and all points west and north-west of it, including the city of Atlanta and the States of Ohio, Ken tucky, Illinois, Missouri, and part of Pennsylvania, are delivered by our trains sooner than ever before. The daily papers, printed in the morning at Wilmington, Raleigh, Greensboro and Charlotte, containing . the press dis patches, can be read at Newbern and Morehead the same evening at tea. and at Beaufort a little later, while at Kin ston and La Grange they are received still earlier in the afternoon, and all the New York, . Philadelphia and Boston papers, as before said, reach the suh scribers a few hours sooner than they otherwise would if we were to wait for the'six o'clock mail from the North at Goldsooro. As to the conference with Col. A. B. Andrews, with reference to the change of schedule, passenger rates, etc., he acted with much fairness and liberality. He at once consented to re duce his time to Goldsboro one hour, though, the time before given to Raleigh was some advantage to 'him. 'Also. without hesitation, he agreed to fix the same rates for passengers coming down his wads to Morehead City; that is oharge them up the road to Asheville, Warm Springs, eto. Sleepers, too, if the travel was sufficiently heavy, would be run through to Morehead. V The owners and proprietors of the hotels on the sea shore were consulted and all desired an early and quick scneauie lor tne Bummer. As you re' marked some day or two since, it is im possible for one train to connect closely with the numerous trains running on two of the largest and. most important roads in the State. I am also conscious that those that have the least interest in trains and mails are, as a general thing, the most clamorous and dissatisfieed with their managements, Merchants and others having important business transactions or personal matters are not apt to forget they are in reach of the telegraph..

The Postmaster General asked for the resignation of T. P. Graham the Chief of the Postage Stamp Department, today, and it was promptly tendered and accepted. This omcer had charge of the com mittee appointed by him each week to count and destroy defective postage stamps. While the Postmaster-General regarded him as an honest man, he thought he had not exercised that degree of care in the supervision of the committee of clerks that might have prevented the larceny by Bruggeman. Moses Bradshaw, a third-class clerk and an old employee, was promoted to the vacancy caused by the resigna tion ot Graham. The Superintendent of the Topo grapher's officer, Mr. Kossor, also resigned to-day, and his place was niled by the appointment ot W. L Nicholson, who was removed two years ago to make a place for Kosser. No charge of fraud is pre- lerreu against Kosser, and no reason is assigned for his resigna tion. A simple and apparently sure method of preventing the stealing oi stamps which have been lorward ed to the department for destru& tion as defective stamps has been devised and will hereafter be put into practice. Tho sheets of defeo tive stamps are to be perforated across the face at the manufactory in tne same manner that each stamp is perforated around the border to make it readily separable from others. Of course stamps perforated across the face would be unsalable and the inducement to steal them would be removed. Made Insane in Chicago. New . Haven, July ll-All of the members of the Connecticut delegation to Chicago except one arrived home in their special cars this morning. That one, Charles H.
