Quite a curious matter has developed, owing to an appareot conflict of laws, which excites special attention in the Western part of the State. An act passed by the Legislature of 1885 exempted persons who manufactured whisky or brandy out of their own corn or apples from license-tax on its sale in quantities of over This was intended to give farmers, who thus made liquor an opportunity to.

thus wholesale it. The last Legislature, however, passed an act which says that only wines shall be thus sold by the persons who make them. This imposes the heavy Jicense-tax on all the home manufacturers of liquors who here I Public Bale OF CITY' LOTS.

nounce any College President, or Colleg Faculty, that permits tbe "hazing" or il treatment of new students. No gentle man will permit such cruelty, and no gen tleman will engage in it. Speaking of th "haxing" practice, the Re view says: "Never has so cruel and heartless an example of it been made publio as that recently perpetrated at Williams College. xoung George Choate, the son of wealthy and influential parents, was sent to col lege when be was really 10 no physical oondition for the work that would be required of him. He was a victim of the saddest kind of melancholia, and his mind was constantly brooding on gloomy re ligions subjects.

The sophomores seeing ois condition, aeciaea to work wnai iney called the rehzious racket" on him, They talked to him constantly and held mock religious meetings at his room. The result was that he was soon crazed and utterly unfit for his class duties. He would wander about the campus and ask any person whom he might by chance meet, "'A by he was allowed to goto hell? Why some one did not try to ssve him?" He has been taken back to bis father's elegant home a complete wreck. His physicians have no hope of his recovery -This sad case has aroused the college presidents, and at all tbe great colleges extra efforts are being made to break up senseless and cruel habit of tbe older students." There will be ft meeting of the Democratic State Central Committee, in Raleigh, on Wednesday afternoon, the 19th. The meeting is for consulting in regard to the best measures to be adopted to promote tbe welfare of the party.

Mention has been- made of tbe fact that negroes were intimidating labor ers of their race in certain counties in the eastern part of the State and threatening them with death if they persisted in pick mg cotton at forty cents per nundred pounds. Matters nave been tnus con ducted iu a high handed way in several counties, but it appears that the hand of the law is about to put a stop to tbe trou ble. At the Pitt county Superior Uourt this week six negroes were indicted for this offence. They went to laborers in tbe field and told them they were delegated bv ft mass-meeting to say if they picked cotton at less than fifty cents they would wake up the next morning in bell, lhe men were frightened and stopped work. Marcellus Stokes had the three ofienders prosecuted.

Tbe jury cohvioted them all Exchange. Negroes are following the example set them by white people, and are forming secret class combinations, through which they operate for troubliog and deranging regular business operations, and inter- fering with the sure laws of supply and demand. Don't you see where tbe trou ble and annoyance originates and comes in on farmers? No secret-class combina tion ever helped any occupation or any people. JUT" Gov. Scales has pardoned Albert Starnes, colored, who was onder eentenoe to be banged at Monroe, Union county.

Deo. 2d. The case is a very remarkable and interesting one. At the fall term (1885) of the Union superior court, starnes was tried for outrsgeous aseault ami sentenced to death. He appealed to tbe Supreme Court, which confirmed tbe sentence.

The last Legislature passed a law making it the duty of tbe Governor to lesue death-warrants. Gov. scales issued the death warrant for Starnes. It was discovered that tbe law did not apply to cases pending prior to. its passage.

So the Governor withdrew the warrant. At a recent term of Union Superior Court, Starnes van regularly re-sentenced to be hanged Deo. 2d. Gov. scales grants a pardon upon the recommendation of Judge uraves, who tried starnes, 01 tbe solicitor who prosecuted him, ot Attor ney-Gen.

Davidson, and of Associate Jus tice Davis of the Supreme Court. The grounds upon which pardon is granted are as follows: It was a case of identity altogether, and new evidence has been discovered since its trial which is cumulative in character, and hence did not entitle Starnes to a new trial, but whiob, in the opinion of the Judge and others, would have changed the verdict of the jury to not guilty had they known it. He escapes the gallows. Reward fob a Murderer. Gov.

Scales offers $200 reward for the capture and delivery of Samuel underwood, who fatally stabbed Luther Hicks, at Jonesboro, Moore county, tbe 10th of last September. In that vicinity there was a habit among a certain class of people of expressing their superiority in physical strength or ability to "clean out" a crowd in a free fight by saying "I'm an Eli I On the day of the murder, Underwood, who is a white man, stepped out of a store and proclaimed to all bystanders that he was an "Eli. Hicks, who was colored. echoed his words and said be was an "Eh" too. This led to some words between the two parties which resulted in Under wood's rushing on to tucks and plunging a knife in his breast which killed him.

They say that they believe in Temperance, but they are a unit against Woman's Suffrage. We doubt if there are a hundred white women in the Carolinaa who desire to vote. Raleigh Chronicle. We don't believe there are fifty decent white' women in North Carolina who would go to the polls with the motley crowd that generally surrounds such places, but every negro in the land would go.

The females who run the "National Union" at tbe North, and clamor for the right to vote are no doubt destitute of children to nurse, and also destitute of love for home and home affairs Females who want to vote are not worth much, whether single, or. married, or doubled. I 1 That Wiix Case. Chatham Court (Judge Shepherd) has been busily en gaged this week in trying' the matters in dispute: between Mrs Bryan and Mrs iloring. It involves about $20,000 worth of property, tbe estate of William Fan-cette.

He died and left a Will which was duly admitted to probate. This Will gave the property. to his sister, Mrs Bry an. Afterwards another and a later Will was attempted to be set up, that gave the whole estate to his cousin, Mrs Monng, and her children. The case was tried be fore Judge! Gilmer, nearly two years ago and was decided in favor of the last Will.

An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, and a new trial granted. The trial is now in progress. 1 here is great interest manifested; in tbe There is an army of legal talent on each side that has been very rarely equalled in any trial that has come before tbe courts of North Car olina. On Mrs Moring's side appear Col. Raleigh, Major Graham, of Hills- boro, Mr Manning, of Cbapel Hill, and Messrs Headen, Womack and of Chatham opposed to these and for Mrs Bryan are Judge Fowle, Major Hinsdale, Busbee and Busbee of Raleigh, ex-solicitor N- strudwick, liulsboro, and Messrs Howze, London and Marcbi- son.

1 I i Each side is on its mettle. Every inch of ground Is contested. Both sides tare managing their case with skill, and can tion. A great many witnesses have been summoned, perhaps as many as eighty or ninety. We may expect argumeuts fore the jury, on both sides, that will 1 hibit great wit, biting irony withering sarcasm, bitter denunciation, touching pathos and moving eloquence.

We merely mean that Mr Carlisle should be made to pledge himself to do the clean thing by the enemies of tbe mternal revenue system as a condition precedent to their support of him for the speakership. lie gave them no cbaoce in tbe last Congress and will give them none in the next unless be is foiced to.

They should not support Mr Randall for tbe speaker's chair, for he is opposed to our party a principles on the tariff; ques tion but they hold tbe balance of power in the next House and should use it for the promotion of the interests of their con stituents. These cannot be subserved through Carlisle, unpledged, nor through any other man who would appoint as stubborn and imprudent a man as 1 Mills, of Texas, chairman of the committee on ways and means. We are addressing ourselves more par ticularly, just now, to Messrs Henderson, Cowles and Johnston, of the seventh, eighth and ninth districts of this State, and may add that public opinion will sus tain them in their refusal to vote for Car lisle, even as tbe caucus nominee for Speaker next winter, but that it will not sustain them in blind and unconditional support of any man who is committed against the legislation which their people desire above all things. i We direct attention to the letter of our State Superintendent ot Publio Instruction, Maj.
