Manufacturing 1? AuruhIu.
.Jj^flSL '1,
Already the advantages to bo reaped
bj the city from the enlargement of the
ennal are becoming inaoiteat. For Borac
time past rumors of the formation of a
large company, having .? in view the
utilization of a portion of the vast water
power to be created by the enlargement,
have beeil in circulation. Lbs* evening
we obtained from an authoritative source
the following particulars iu rogard to
the mattor. ?
About the middlo of March last Mr.
J. J. Gregg, a well known citizen of
this place, long proicinontly connected
with cuttou manufacturing interests,
met in Jioaton uu English capitalist,
whom ho induced to come out to this
eity for the purpose of investigating a
projected laud scheme connected with
manufacturing 'as a basis. The capital
ist, after reaching the city and looking
into the mutter, was so well satisfied
that he proposed that if a company with
a* capital Ol 8100,000 were formed he
would take stocx to the amount of 832,
000, calculating to use a portion of the
capital in laying out streets and con
strutting sewers. No difficulty was
experienced in forming the company,
several of the nio.it prominout citizens of
Augusta making up the required amount
ubovo the 832,000. The capitalist re
turned to Eugland, and, as an evidence
that he meant business, immediately re
mitted thirty two th >UI and dollars ti
the company in Augusta. The company
at once went to work to purchaso land
near the city aud contiguous to the
eftnt?!, and. now owns a very large tract
adj dning or in the vicinity of the c mal.
The compauy has pretty nearly comple
ted its purchases.
The English capitalist reforrod to, as
inducement for citizens here to join in a
manufacturing enterprise to be establish
ed on the Augusta canal, stated that he
would bead a subscription list in Eng.
land with ?11 000 (855,000) to organ
ize a company for the purpose of build
ing on said canal a factory of 25,000
spindles, aud use hja ia&uen<*o to get up
a company with a capital of 81,000,000
with that view. Mr J. J. Tregg will
leave for ISnghtn 1 this in truing to per
fect the scheme in conceit with the
?-?u pitalisr.. He is sauguioe of success
as he has received groat Quouurgehiont
from (.rouiincut English capitalists li
the scheme is perfected, as w? trust ani
believe it will bo. a great impetus will
be given to tho manufacturing interests
of Augusta, and a largo addition ma le
to her material wealth and prosperity.?

Fudkins Makes A Tratlc.
Fudgkins thought himself a sharp
mau. He was good at a trade, and his
conscience whs uot npt tu staud in his
way when, bo was working for himself.
He happened one day at Whitney's
Auction Kootn, and Haw a wlanut side
board whiih pleased hi in. He had
promised his wife that sho should have
one. This would not only answer every
purpose, but it wus really an elegant
affair, and every way as good us new.
He asked Whitney the price of it.
'1 think that is sold, Mr. Fudgkius.
Or at least, a party has the rclus.il of
if"*
'?Thou it is uot really s<Jd ?" asked
Mr. Fudgkius.
'?No,?uot sold"'
?'If not sold,'" broke in Fudg'*....,
"why may I not have a chance],'' What
do you tusk lor it t"
"The party I spoke of has the refusal
of it for lifty dollurs.'
"I'll give jcu sixty," Haid Fudgkins,
who had that vcrj morning priced one
exactly like it at Whitcwood A Beach
at eighty five dollars.
Whitney shook his head He didn't
think it would be hardly lair.
"Why not ?" demanded Fudgkins.
"A trade's a trade. I suppose you have
this thing here to sell. Ten dollars is
something. When t'other man comes,
tell him you had a customer you bad
entirely forgotten! Goodness gracious !
he can't want the article very bad, i''he
didn't know whether or not to take it
at that price. Come?what you say?"
The ten dollars extra appeared to be
tempting. At all events, Whitney final
ly told hiru he might huve it; and the
bargain waj concluded and the money
paid over. .
"I thought.I'd fetch htm !" whispered
Fudgkins to a friend at hii elbow.
"We're all a little too sharp in behalf of
Number Qne to stick at trifles."
Meantime Whitney had opened one
of the doors of the sideboard and was
removing a card which had boeu tacked
upon the inside thereof.
"Eh ?" cried Fudgkins, as he saw it.
?"What's that?"
"It is the card of the lady who bad
engaged the sideboard, sir," replied Mr.
Whitney.
"Mercy on rue !?Sold !?That's my
wife!"

The lato Elder John Smith, of Ken
tucky, who died recently at anadvanocd
age, was ono of the most eccentric wits
south of the Ohio river. He was famil
iarly known throughout Kontucky as
Raccoon Smith. While still ia the
Baptist ministry, and attending the
annual meetings of that body, a tall lank
green specimen of humanity preseuted
himself before tl o Association as a
candidate for the ministry. Ho was
regarded 03 not being of entirely sound
mind, and labored under the hallucina
tion that he was especially "culled to
preaob," aud kep , constantly importunnt
ing the Association to give him the
necessary license. In addition to his
particularly unbalanced mind, young
Mecks was the possessor of as huge and
ungainly a pair of feet as ever trod in
shoe leather. Tired of his importuni
ties, and not being disposed to graut
the licenso, the Association handed him
over to Smith, with instructions to
make au end of the ease, and between
them took place the following conversa
tion :
Smith?"So, Brother Meuks, you
think you have a special call to
prenob ?"
Mceks?"Yes, the Lord has called
me ta the work, but the Association
refused mo the license."
Suoth?"How do you kuow you ore
called ?"
Mecks?"Know it I I feel it in my
heart. 1 want my license."
' Smith?"Bo you believe in tho
Bible, Brother Meeks ?"
Moeks?"Certainly 1 do?every word
of it."
. Smith?"If I can prove by the Bible
that you are uot called to preach, will
j jou to satisfied to drop the matter and j
1 not further importune (ho Association
lor a license 1
Brother Meeks usscnled to this and |
Raccoon Smith deliberately epened the ,
New Testament at Rniuaus a, 15, and |
in s grave tone read,?"How beautiful
are the feet of them who preach the
gospel of peace," oic. Thou glauciag at
Meeks large feet remarked : "You see,
Brother Meeks that tho feat of the
j preacher are beautiful. You sir have
I the most monstrous ugly fect of any map
in the State of Kentucky j ther.fire by
this Bible, it is clear that you have not
been especially culled!'' As Smith
finished his remarks the Association
went off into a paroxysm of luughter.

A Scene From Idle.
A young man entered the bar room of
n village tavurn, and called for a drink.
? No," said the landlord; ' you have had
too much already. You have had
delirium tremens once, and I can not
sell you any more." He stepped abide
to make room for a conple of young men
who had just entered, ami the landlord
wuitcd upon them very politely. The
other had stood by silent and sull.'n. ami
when they had finished he walked up
to the landlord, and thus addressed him;
?'Six years "go, at their age, 1 stood
where those young men now are. I was
a man with fair prospects. Now at the
age of twenty eight, 1 am a wreck, body
and mind. You led me to drink. In
this room I formed the habit that has
been my ruin. Now sell me a few glas
ses more, aud your work will be done I I
will soon be out of the way; there is no
hope for me. But they can be saved ;
they may be men again. Do not sell it
to them. Sell it to me, and lot me die,
and the world be rid of me but, for heav
en's sake sell no more to tin ..: !" The
landlord listened, pale and tumbling.
Setting down his decanter, he exolaitned

will ever sell to any ooe I" And he

Colored Good Templars.
Last Thursday evening, Hod. E. R.
Dudley, of New Berne, d divcred an
address in the church at Warnersville,
on the subject of Temperance. His re.
marks were practical, straight forward
and replete with common sense. The
meeting was not a large none, not more
than one hundred and twenty five being
present. Mr. Dudley's address, to our
notion, was iu a better vein than those
the colored people have had the oppor
(unity, as a general thing, to listen to.
The main idea was that his people should
save their earnings and invest the prof
its arising from their labor, in land.?
He said that in this way, where land is
so cheap, niany colored people, in a short
time, by industry und economy, could
become lauded proprietors. It was
evident they could not do this so long
as they squandered their means in buy
ing intoxicating drinks. We sincerely
hope the advice will bo taken and acted
upon. There is too much disposition on
the part of the colored people to flock
to the towns. Many proprietors in the
country would be glad to dispose of
their lands in small parcels, for
cash. A f-w acres well cultivated,
will afford a support for an ordinary
family.
On Wednesday night, Mr. Dudley
organized a Lodge of Good Templars.
After his address, Thursday night, he
held anuiuer meeting, taking in more
members, so that the society now num
bers about two hundred. He has or
gauized societies in New Berne, Kinston,
Wilson. Raleigh and Faycttevilhs. The
movement among the colored people is
fast assuming importance, and the good
re- nit - promise to be incalculable.-? New

An Extraordinary Courtship.
A few nights back a party of ladies
and gentlemen were laughing over the I
supposed awkwardness attending a dec
la ration of love when a gentleman re
marked that if be ever had an opportu
nity to offer 4iiruxelf he woul .l do it iri
a collected aud busiucss liko man
ner.
?'For instance, said no addressing
himself to a beautiful lady present, "I1
would sny ;' - 1
''Miss S-, 1 have been engaged I
two years iu looking for a .wife. 1 am
in the receipt of a clear income of two
thousand dollars a year from my present
business, which is daily on the increase.'
Of all the ladies of my acquaintance I
admire you the most. Indeed, to speak
plainly, I lovo you and would mo^t glad
ly make you my partner for life 7"
"You flatter me by your preference,'*
goeJ humoredly replied Miss-, to the
surprise of all pr?sent*
"Not at all :" said h!, "I am entirely
sincere."
"Then I refer to my father V'said the
lady.
"Bravo r* exclaimed the gentlo
mnn.
"Well, I dc-c l a r e !" exclaimed the
ladies, in one united chorus.
- The lady aud geutletuau were married
soon after.
"Wasn't that," asks the narrator, "a
modest way of coming to tho point, and
a lady like method of taking a man at
bis word ?"
Well, as Charles Lamb would say,
"It wasu't anything else."
A Touching Incident.?We make
the following extract from tho report of
the proceedings of tho Irish Americans
of Chicago, on docoratiou day :
When the grave of a s ddicr was ap
proached, the column halted, the name
of the occupant was read by Colonel
Stewart, and the companies presented
arms. Occasionally, where one was
needed, a bouquet was deposited. A
little mound, which was pointed out as
the resting place, of a Confederate oap
tain?a prisoner who died at Camp
Donglas, was decorated with nothing
but fresh, green grass. The spectators
j thought it would be past in silence, but
when sbreast of it, the command,
"Halt!" was heard. The usual satuta
tion of respeot having been given, sever
al soldiers stepped from the ranks, drew
from the muzzles of their muskets the
bouquets intended for a comrade's grave,
and generously planted them in the sod
wbieh covered the remains of the Con
federate. The incident touched all who
witnessed it, and proved the noble gen
erosity oi the Celtic hearts that pr~
?4 the deed.

State Taxes.
an IMPORTANT DECISION
. Raeet
A decision baa been lately rendered
by Judge Graham which has an impor .
taut bearing upon the question es to
who is liable for the payment of tax?
upon real proporty that may have been
sold. The circumstances of the case
as follows: D. B. Gilliland, Esq., refe
ree, sold and conveyed, ander order of
court, a lot of land to B. D. Lazarus m
the 23d of July, 1872. Mr. Asher D.
Cohen, solicitor for Mr. Lazarus, the
purchaser, claimed that the law making
July 1 the day when return* of property
for taxation are called for, had changed
the day whereon the ownership fixed the
liability for taxes as between seller and
purchaser, and that the estate of Gads
den, for which thereferco had sold being
tho owner on the 1st July, 1872, should
make return of this property for the
taxes of 1872 and should pay them when
called for by the treasurer. The attor
neys for the executors of Qadsden (Mes
srs. Simonton and Barker) contended
that the A. A. 1788, whioh is as follows
has not been repealed, and is still of
force, viz: "And all taxes on real or
personal property which shall be sold
and conveyed on the said first day of
October next, and after the aforesaid
first day of October in each and every} htki
year thereafter, shall be returned mod
paid by the seller thereof, any lav,
usage or cuttern to the contrary notwith
standing." They also claimed thai
neither the ohaoges of the day when the
fiscal yesr begins, and ends, ner the
change of day when returns of property
are called tor,can, by implication, change
this positive statutory enactment. Judge
Graham ruled that, in the faee of poet
tive enactment, tbe construction of bro
kers and others based upon analogy and
npou the theory of repeal by implication
could not prevail and that until the act
of 1788 above cited is actually repealed
the seller who sells and conveys beffcra
the 1st of Octobt r, although ifter July
e lnt-M is uot liable for the. tax*s ef
he year.

* 'Scene In a Nevada Court? f&#sa

of tho country was net conspicuous in
the early days of Nevada, judging (torn
a scene which occurred in ' one of the
lively little towns in th it region, rela

Nevada bar. On one occasion, court
having been formally opened, counsel in
the fir?t sase called took exceptions to

"No use referring ib any book; I've

"But, your honor?"
"No, I don't want to hair anything

"It lolls you you-are wrong," retorted
tbp counsel:
"I am right," reiterated the court.
"1 say yoa ain't," persisted the eoun
sei. 7*MTtiv****mM
"Crier I" yelled the Judge, "I adjourn
this court ten minutes."
And jumping from the bench, he
pitched into the counsel, and after a
lively little fight placed him ia'hors du.
combat, after whioh business was resutn
ed. Bat soon another misunderstanding
arose.
"Crier," said the ooart, "we will
adjourn this time for twenty minutes."
And he was about taking off his coat,
wheu the counsel aaid : "Never mind.
