Nigger in the~ Cotton Pile. IAbo: t t-; o'clock Tuesday morning ait1 Dudley's Station, some one called at the store of Mr. John Frierson for a bottle ot laudanuni for a sick neigh~bor. W hile' seriung this person the dog belonging ona the premises was barking to such an extent that Mr. F'rierson concluded he" would go and find out the cause. As lie wvalked out of hb~ house he discovered a gate lead ing to his cottont house closed, and the dog trying to paw under. This aroused his sus- ti picious, and he called his mother-in-law to go and wake up Mr. Reese who lives ne-ar. 'lI Oni his arrival Mr. Frierson stationed hima p at a door, and himself went through the S store into another dloor opening into the a: cotton room. Hie mai~de a search of the room t and discovered that some one had robbed ii him or about 1,0005 pounds of cotton, lie w-as about to go out when lie discovered ti something black about the size of a man's s hand projecting from the pile of cotton. lHe - threupon approached the black spot, and kicking it with his foot he found that it wa i~ something solid and very haid, aind feaingi' i: thait the- ob-ject might be a cannon ball tilled s with somie kind of explosive he h.:sitated tl about kicking it again. After some little 1 time spent in retlection Le concludedl to try e t igain. This time the blow caused the c object to become more e*xposed, and it turn- ' ed out to be a negro's head. [he negra's nome is Henry Owens, but is familiarly known as --Doubting Hlenry,"' a bi very bad character. After M~r.

A large number of persons have been in wan within the last few days from various etions of the county for the purpose of ving their taxes, and in almost every in ance they do not seem to understand why is that their taxes are higher this year tan last. Naturally we are asked lo explain the tuse. The people have become accustomed > having their property assessed at a nom tal valuation: some lands that would bring a the market as high as ten dollars per :re, have been assessed at less than two ollars per acre, making the tax very light. ut this state of affairs wts changed at the st meeting of the board of equalization. hese gentlemen decided to raise the val ation of all lands at something near the :ual value. The tax levy is somewhat less this year tan it was last, but with the increased val ation on real estate the amount colleete i. y the treasurer will be larger, antd will pat surplus into the treasury that w'll proba ly pay off all the back iidebtedness of the >unty. Next year with the sate assessed alue on lands, together with the increase of ther property, we see no reason why tho ix levy cannot be considerably reduced, ad the taxes very much lessened. The county auditor has nothing whatever > do with assessing the property. le re ives the returns as made out by the tax avers, anti at an appointed timie he turns ,em over to the ienihers of the board of iualization, Wio ps upon tleti ZId as ss the tax valuation.

The facts in con i nection with the affair are, briefly, these: Bass was originally from New York, but has recently been living in North Carolina, and was also in the employ of Maj. Geo. W. Earle while surveying the railroad. He winted to leave town yesterday, and beconing I short of money he was endeavoring to raise the necessary cash by pawn ing a pistol and overcoat, but had not succeeded when he applied to Prince. The latter Was about to lend hin the money, and had it in his hands, when the pistol, which was a bawrmerless revolver, went off while in Bass's hands. The ball struck Prince in the abdomen.
