Roper Lumber Com pany were watering logs on Mackey's Creek, near here, on Wednesday last when two negroes were injured and one white man (George Bunday) killed. The logs were being hurled down an embankment to the water and these men, working below, thoughtlessly stepped in the track of the logs with the above results. No blame is attached to any one in the matter. George Bell, the negro who was dis emboweled at a colored protracted meeting in Plymouth, is still unable to get out. We had the heaviest rainstorm last night that has visited us this sum mer.

It rained incessantly and hard for four hours, with most terrific thunder and lightning during the time. Everything is flooded this morning. Gninwod. A Card. To the ladies and gentlemen of the Atlantic Hotel at Morehead, who so kindly made up a purse for the bene fit of my unfortunate sister, Mary Gill, I beg to express through this medium my sincere and grateful ac knowledgements in her behalf for their noble assistance which has been already of such benefit to her.

The cotton compress will also be delayed in its work if none arrive. The price has already advanced about fifteen cents on the bundle and may be more. One of the city cotton factors yes terday stated that the matter of bagging and ties was of far more import ance to cotton producers than they themselves imagined, He startled a reporter by stating that it was a source of net revenue amounting to over $6,000,000 to southern planters, and explained the matter in this way.

The producer buys bagging and ties for every bale of cotton by quantity, paying from 80 to 95 cents. He sells tins same material by weignt at whatever may be the price per pound of cotton when it is sold. The average weight of bagging and ties for each bale of cotton is about twenty-three pounds. If cotton isells at nine cents per pound, the producer receives $1.97 for the bagging and ties which cost him 95 cents at the maximum. The production of cotton in the South is something over 000,000 of bales annually.

Over one dollar net is made by the producer on the bagging and ties on each bale which of course! makes the net revenue over $6,000,000 Some efforts have been made by northern spinners to have the National Cotton Exchange establish a tare weight for bagging and ties, but these efforts have been successfully combatted by the southern members of the Exchange.

Was It Suicide I Durham Recorder. Capt.jW. A. Lea had returned from the funeral of his brother-in-law, Mr. Wm.

Warren, bf Prospect Hill, who was found dead with a bullet hole in his brain, and in response to our in quiry remarked that it was a well- established case of suicide, but that no theory could be advanced as tb why he suicided unless he was suffer ing from mental depression. The morning of the tragedy Mr. Warred arose apparently in 'good health, transacted the duties incident to the morning and sent his wagons to the mill. About 9 o'clock; he told his wife he was going into the woods and kill squirrel for dinner. He took his rifie and went out and that was the last for half an hour seen of him alive, later he was found behind an outhouse, not more than hfty yards from his dwelling house, dead.

From the position of Mr. Warren, his ramrod and gun, it is conceded that he sat down on the ground, cocked the trigger, and placing the muzzle of the rifle to his forehead sprung the hammer with the ramrod. A small hole marked the course of tbe deadly' missile. The skin was burned, with powder, which showed the close proximity of the rifle to his Fire at New Berue. Condensed from the Journal 24tli.

Fire broke out in J. A.

A Very Probable Dearth of Cotton Ties. Conversation with the i cotton mer chants has elicited the fact that some great inconvenience, not serious trouble, is imminent, in the cotton trade in this section on account of the scarcity of cotton ties. There are none to speak of in the city and none can be procured, except possibly a few which were ordered some months ago. It seems that some time since, the patent on a very popu-lar tie ran out. Up to this time, this tie was made in'such quantities as to fill a great demand and at such prices as kept the factory going.

When the patent ran out, a large number of makers commenced to put it on the market and competition was so strong that the price fell below the cost of production. This caused a cessation of manufacturing these ties not long since and all the factories shut down. The makers of the Arrow and Delta ties in Pittsburg have been seriously rippled dn account of strikes and some time ago ordered their agents to make no more sales as they could riot fill the orders. This state of affairs was not anticipated by importers and they have not placed sufficient orders to meet any great demand. None at all can be had at the ports just now, nor for some weeks later by importation; the very earliest not being expected before the 20th of September.

The cotton season in this immediate section is ait least two weeks earlier than usual, but the staple may be kept Out of market till later than usual for want of ties.
