There are some who contend that such shows are veritable business par.alyzers and that nine times in ten they injure a town by carrying off money which otherwise would bo spent at home. On the other band some claim that the town will be benefitted thereby, as many people who woui,d otherwise stay away will be attracted here by the show and will spend money with our business houses. t The officers of the local military organization are much gratified at the interest being taken by the members of the company in the drills preparatory to inspection April 26. At the drill Tuesday evening only three members were absent aud it was learned that their absence was due to causes unavoidable. The members are working faithfully to acquaint themselves with the new tactics and there is little reason to believe that they will not succeed. Policeman L. R. Culp of Pineville effected the capture of Robt. Huntley, col . about ten miles west of Charlotte Inst Wed need ay night and brought liira on to this place, reaching here abont 1 a. m. yesterday.

Hall of Indian Land some time in August last who was endeavoring to arrest him on a warrant which had been placed in hie hands to serve.
