Stoves. We do not pretend to know much of the peculiar merits of the cooking stove, but would refer those desiring one to the advertisement of the Culver Brothers and to the testimonials therein from well known citizens of this county. The Cul vers go from this community next week, leaving the best testimonial of the merit of their wares in the fact that they sold about four hundred and fifty stoves smce they haw been operating in this community. A Snake Story. Mr. W. J. Staton is responsible for the following. A few days ago while removing some planks he found a snake of tiie water-moccasin spe cies and in striking it cut an aperture in its side from which were forced out thirty three young ones averaging nine inches ill length. Mr. S., says it is the habit of this snake w hen it is alarmed to make a pecu liar noise to warn its young which immc diateiv take re f litre in its mouth. Boss It. Mr. John Xorflcet seems to think we are too rash to "lead the Demo cratic party," and that it ought get rid of us. Now there seems to be three parties in Edgecombe county, the Democratic, the Republican and the John Norflcct party : Mr. Norileet was unable to boss the Bads, the Democrats will not allow him to boss them, and so we would suggest he attend to his own party, composed of himself, which he can boss, and let the others alone. Crmors Louie. When a man ceases to justify himself he is surely getting in a bad strait, and the strait is also nearly equal ly pressing when he has to resort to such far-fetched motives as are sometimes given For instance, what docs the public think of this motive for a democrat's signing the official bond of a Civil Highter: "I signed the bond because Stamps has been making such a fuss about it in his paper and I was determined he should not con trol me In my action ?" This hardly bears the semblance of plausibility and must ap pear to any sensible man as rather curious logic, to say the least of it. Left ins Corinuv fi: ms Coi-xtky's Good. It will be a gratifying piece of intelligence lo our community to learn that Allen Turner, the special pet of the Hadi tal leaders, has left the county. There are two reasons given tor Ins sudden de parture. 1st, that he had stolen three dol lars from a man and brother with whom he thought it would be afterwards impru dent for him to remain in close and inti mate communion : 2nd, that Mr. Jos. Cobb had sriven him one dollar and a half to leave the county,' his work having been done and being no farther need of him, we oppose. SrnoicAi. Oi'ekation. On last Tuesday Dr. II. Mis Hyatt, of Kinston, accompan ied by Dr. Joseph II. Baker, called cu Mr. Barlow, who has been suffering for some time with a tumor in the abdominal cavity, and after examination resolved on a surgical operation. Two insertions were made in the abdomen and instrument, known as an Aspirator and which has been but recently introduced in medical practice in this State, was introduced, by which about seven ounces of pus or purulent mat ter was drawn out. The operation will, it is thought, have to be repeated, but Mr. Barlow hr. t already experienced considera ble relief and strong hopes are entertained of his complete recovery. Tho theory of Dr. Hyatt in regard to the disease was, that it was a hydatid tumor that had sup purated. It is gratifying to Mr. Barlow's many friends to hear of the success of the opera tion. . e Nor Strange. Some of the signers of the Radical bonds seem to think it strange that we should demonstrate so much fed ing against those who are helping these men to office. It is not strange for two very good reasons. In the first place, we opposed signing these bonds because it is in direct aid of Radicalism, doing five hundred times more for its f urthereuce than voting for it : In the second place, it is but natural that we should have some feel ing towards those whom we thought to be our political friends, who would endorse these men who during their whole cam paign urged on filthy negroes to foully vilify the Editor of this paper personally, as Avell as others the first people of our country. The Radical campaign com rnenced with an insulting resolution against us, and was continued in the same spirit by one or two low negroes whom McCabe, Cobb & Co., put up to do the work. Is it strange therefore that we should oppose a Democrat's signing the bonds of such men ?

LARGE NUM11ER OF TAX PATERS PJl ESEXT REPRESEXTE D P.Y COUXSEL. An intense interest having been awaken ed on the subject of the official bonds of the new Sheriff, Register and Clerk elect, a large crowd was in town on Monday to attend the meeting of the Board of County Commissioners and ascertain the result. The usual hour for meeting, however, passed and no bell being heard the crowd began to wonder the cause of the delay, but it, was soon ascertained that the board was w aiting to see that all the officers elect were read' to give their bonds before they assembled, commencing their career as public officers with a degree of partizan zeal that augurs but little good for the pub lic weal- At about two or three o'clock however it was ascertained that Mr. McCabe had a bond that they were deter mined to take and hence they met, the new Board consisting of Jno. Lancaster, Wily Webb, James Norville, M. Exum, (col.) and Frank Dew, (col.), leiving qual ified bcfoie A. McCabe, J. P. KEGISTEe's liOND. The Register elect, A. McCabe then pre sented his official bond for acceptance, w ith R. S. Dawes, Geo. S. Hawes and Charles Peel as sureties. By consent of the Board each of the sureties was put upon the stand separately to testify as to their pecuniary worth, and was cross-examined by Mr. Phillips, attorney for the tax-payers. Mr. Dawes justified to the amount of -3,0oo ; Mr. Hawes to the amount of $1,UU, but on being examined asserted that the title of his real estate was not in himself, that his personal property was worth only about Srl'ioO and that lie was endebted to the amount of $4on. Mr. Peel also justi fied to the amount of 1,00(1 and a cross examination showed that he owned no real estate whatever. An examination of the tax list also elicited the fact that Mr. Hawes paid tax on nothi. save the poll, an that Mr. Peel paid only on a poll and a thousand dollars of real estate belonging to his mother. The Commissioners could not however stand against the frowns of "Mar- Cage," who sat immediately in front of them, so they received all the sureties, accepted the bond and inducted Mr. McCabe into the office of Register. The bond, taken altogether, is rather poor for the boss of Edgecombe Radicalism to give. The Board having exhausted itself on the Register's bond adjourned to meet Tuesday at 10 A. M., but as, the day be fore, it was found that their friends had not gotten everything fully prepared, and hence they did not meet until about half past twelve, when the siiekut's bond was taken up. Fred. Philips, Esq., again appeared for the tax-payers, and J. M. Perry, Esq., for Mr. Cobb. Mr. Cobb presented his bond to the amount of -j5,-000, 4,000 for taxes and $10,000 for faithful performance of his office of Sheriff. Mr. Philips took the position that the bond was illegal because not conforming to the requirments of the law, the statute re quiring the amount of the bond for taxes to be double the amount, to be collected, w hich in this instance was admitted to be something over $40,000. Mr. Perrv, on the other hand, argued that the statute was simply director' and only required the bond to be sufficient. The point was dis cussed at lcDgth by both Counsels, . when, on motion, it was decided that the Sheriff's bond should be $00,00 instead of $00,000 if the letter of the law had been complied with. The bond was then accepted for the former amount with the following su reties: R. II. Austin, Mrs. Wiley Walston, Wiley Webb, John Lancaster, John King, W. T. Cobb and John K. Cherry. Mr. Austin and Mrs. Walston were not requir ed to justify publicly, but were privately received, Mr. Austin for $18,000 and Mrs. Walston for $5,000. Wiley Webb justifi ed for $10,000, by his own showing the full amour i of his property at liberal fig ures, John Lancaster justified for $5,000, and testified that he was worth about that amount, owed a thousand dollars and was on B. Bryan's bond to the extent of $0,000. Messrs. John King and W. T. Cobb each justified for $10,000, and Mr. John K. Cherry for $4,000. the ti:easit:ei:'s bond was taken up, and Mr. R. II. Austin gave the required bond of $50,000 with Messrs. Wm. S. Battle, John S. Dancy and Wm. II. Johnston as sureties. the clerk's bond was postponed until next Monday, to give Mr. Duggan full time to make up the ne cessary security. Truly a most accommo dating Board of Commissioners. The people of the county were much as tonished to see several persons, who had heretofore operated with the Democratic party, go forward and aid to office at a pe cuniiuy risk men whom they had apparent ly opposed in the canvass. It presented an enigma not easily unraveled. As far as we are concerned, our views have been too frequently published to require reiteration. We simply put in a plea for Mr. W. T. Cobb, who has always been unqualified in his adherence to the cause of the white man and who was doubtless induced to this act against it by what is usually one of the purest and best motives, that is, love for his own brother who needed his assistance. We do not justify the act, but Mr. Cobb is too good a man for it not to be regarded with paliation under the circumstances. It will be thus seen, that after all that has been said, and after all that Messrs. Cobb and McCabe have done against the white people, they have been placed in two of the most important offices of the county of Edgecombe. It only remains to indict the Commissioners now for the act, in the first place for taking an insufficient Register's bond, secondly for taking an illegal Sher iff's bond. Our people should have the manliness to stand up for their rights, and should never stop at a measure half-way. After consulting good legal advice, if it is thought that either of the above points is tenable, they should be promptly acted upon. The new Board has been cccupied re vising the jury list. We suppose the com plexion of the next list will be even dark er than heretofore. So much for Radical ism and Judge Moore. W'eldox Fair. The following circular explains itself. We hope our people will give their patronage to their own fair at Weldon. Weldox, N. C, Sept. 1, 1874. The Fifth Annual Exposition of the Roanoke and Tar River Agricultural So ciety will be held at Weldon, N. C, com mencing on the 20th October, 1874, and lasting four days. Every preparation will be made for the accommodation and con venience of the exliibitor, and every possi ble railroad facility will be obtained. The Executive Committee feel thankful to those who have heretofore aided so lib erally in the annual exhibitions, and trust that not only each farmer but every one feeling an interest in the Roanoke and Tar River section, and the advancement of the interests of the general farming public, w ill contribute something to the exhibition this year. Yours Respectfully, Joedox Stone, Sec'y. Washington, N. C, i Sept. 7th, 1874. Dear Enquirer-Southerner : For the last time I head mv epistle "Washington." To-day has dawned as brightly as ever a day did, and all nature is wearing smiles, and men too, seme of them at least, for to day many of the officers elect commence their career as public men. It is really amusing to see some of them in their efforts to appear calm and to take it as matter of course. Our county has an entirely new set of officers except the Sheriff. The Court House presents a busy scene, the old officers 'lacking up and preparing to trans fer their boaks, papers, fcc, to "their suc cessors in office. The merchants too are bus', some of them at least preparing for the reception of the Fall stock, which will begin to arrive on Thursday per Steamer Pamlico. They however can not do as good a business as they did some years ago because of the multitude of country stores. I counted the stores from this place to Leachville (CO miles) and there was 18 exclusive of the stores at Bath. Another thing to their dis advantage is the number of crafts that ply between the various points in this county and Newbcm. Newbein always pays the producer a better price for his cotton," corn, iV'C, and difference in ihe freights is mere ly nominal, and until Washington shakes off her lethargy and show s more activity, it will always be the case. ( )ne thing that has attracted my attention, times without number, is the many young men who are shirking their part in the bat tle of life, loafing around the streets of this and other towns, and the public places in the country, talking of the hard times and the scarcity of money and of work. It is a shame and a disgrace to Old North Caro lina, instead of putting their hands to the plow and doing their duty, they, as some one has said, arc waiting for "something to turn up," instead of rolling up their sleeves and making "something turn up." Since writing the above the Count v Com missioners have organized by electing Ja. L. Fowle, Chairman, and F. B. Satterth waite, Attorney, vice Col. R. W. Wharton, the old Attorney who has served for six years past. There are more applications for the job of keeping the Poor House than I ever heard of 1 efore, there are at least s, and I expect more. After a long debate Mr. Ashley Congleton was declared elected, the former incumbent stays and superin tends however. I have seen and heard but little (f the proceedings of the day. A. W. Satterthwaite, Coroner elect, I have heard, will not qualify, nor II. F. Price as Surveyor. The boys arc painting and rubbing up a cannon preparing for the jubilee on Thurs day next. The country is safe, is in good hands. Au revoir. Zap.a.
