A New Boat. -
The A. & N. C. R. has commenced a
load, under the superintendence of
Capt. J. J. Robertson, from near Dover
across to the Beaver creek section of
Jones county. The distance is only
about three miles and it will tap one of
the finest farming sections of Jones
county, a section where the farmers
havo to haul their cotton and other pro
duce from ten to fifteen miles. The
Preeident of the railroad is fx?onr!ini
aid to the citizens in that sectim, who
desire this road with the expectation of
making it a good feeder.
We know nothing about railroading
and therefore dislike to make sugges
tions to those engaged in the business,
but it strikes us that the President's
idea about aiding in the construction of
these public roads is a good one, and a
practical one. It is a step towards de
veloping the country along the line and
consequently increasing the business of
the railroad. With a number of these
roads reaching out into the good farm
ing sections, and with reasonable
freights both farmers and railroads will
be materially benefited. In the Beaver
creek section of Jones county the people
have been hearing the whistle of the
train while at work on their farms for
over a quarter of a century, yet they
have to haul their products, many of
them, fifteen miles to get to a shipping
point. This ought not to be.
How HcTolcs Illiimelf,
Solomon Stafford was arraigned before
Justice Watson yesterday to answer a
charge made by his wife, Caroline Staf
ford who wanted him placed under
bonds to keep the peace. After Caroline
had told her story the court decided that
Sjlomon should pay the cost and give
band in the sum of fifty dollars to keep
the peace towards all citizens for six
months and especially toward Caroline.
'Who do you ofTor as bondsmen?"
asked the justice.
'I will stand my own bond," replied
Solomon.
When he was made to understand
that this would not be in accordance
with law, he replied:
"I don't know nothing about the law.
I always tote myself in a way not to get
into law. Neber had but two cases in
law in my life. What must I cive bond
fer?"
"To keep the peace," replied the jus
tice. "Keep the peace howV" replied
Solomon.
"Towards all citizens of the State,
and especially Caroline Stafford."
Solomon pleaded that he could have
the money for the cost by Saturday,
and that if the court would not allow
him to stand his own bond, he would
try to get some one else to do it. A com
mittment was placed in the hands of
the constable, who was instructed to
carry Solomon to the Rodgers house on
Craven street, if he failed to give a sat
isfactory bond and make arrangements
for the cost.

It has been remarked that American
people invest more money in farming
implements than any other nation in
tho world, and especially does this seem
so iii the South, that is, individual
farmers buying costly machinery only I
t) be used a short while in the season
and the balance of the season to lay up
and rest. Improved machinery proper
ly applied, and the State of Kentucky
might be cited where it is done, will
prove advantageous. Farmers in that
State combine in sections for the pur
chase of costly machinery such as mow
ers, threshers and the like, and by pitch
ing their crops so they may be harvested
at different periods, they are thereby
not on(y enabled to put less money in
implements, but get a great deal more
work out of them which is hardly more
injurious than remaining idle.

Mr. Louis' Haywood ' says 1 that
Mr.V Gv W. Koonce, of Cypress
creek had on his plantation a little
pond with no outlet : to drain it, so
he concluded to sink a well in its
centre to drain it. After digging
about eight feet bo came to an old
well curb which on examination
proved to be fat lightwood in an
xcellent state, of preservation,
which he utilized . and cleaned ont
a distance of several feet and found
it set on a bed of rock, and whoever
first dug it had picked through the
rock a hole about 18 inches in di
ameter and at the bottom of this
well was found the hull of a peach
kernel perfectly solid and a small
toy wheel which soon fell to pieces
after striking the air, and the handle
of an old bone handle case knife,
which ,was very large and in good
E reservation. No one in the neigh
orhood had any idea of a well ever
being in that pond. Old man
Killis Koonce, who is over 80 years
old, has no recollection of a well
nor a house near the pond. But
Mr. Koonce has succeeded in drain
ing the pond.

Crop Report.
Washihoton. May 10. The May crop
report of the department of agriculture
indicates an improvement in wheat dur
ing April of 2 points, with a geveral av
erage of condition of 95. There is no
marked change any where, but a slight
advance is noted in the Ohio valley. The
Missouri, Texas, TenneBse, Carolina,
Virginia ', and Maryland May average
last year was 70. The season
has been favorable and the crops
are more advanced than usual. Aver
ages in the principal States are: New
York, UO; Pennsylvania, U5; Uhio, ; ;
Michigan, 91; Indiana, 93; Illinois, 92,
Missouri, 101; Kansas, 67. The condition
of rye averages 96, barley, 97. Cot
ton planting has been delayed by the
rains on the Atlantic coast, and by over
flows on the Gulf coast. The proportion
to be planted in May averages 20 per
cent. In averages this year's proportion
does not exceed 14 or 15 per cent. The
stand is necessarily defective o'n the wet
areas, but replanting is rapidly filling
gaps. The proportion already planted
are as follows: ' JNortn uaroiina, 7a;
South Carolina, 82; Georgia, 83; Florida,
94; Alabama, eU; Mississippi, 7o; Louis

Ill Bones Protruded Through the
Flesh,
A prominent Alabama physician said :
A patient who was almost dying from
the effects of Tertiary Syphilis and who
had been treated by several noted phy
sicians without benefit, used one dozen
bottles of B. B. B. add was entirely
cured. He had ulcers on his arms, and
the bones protruded, through the flesh
and skin at the elbow, and death seemed
inevitable."
