Raleigh. N. C, June .10—Local option elections were held to-day at the cities and towns of Raleigh, Golds boro, Mt. ‘O.ive, Fremont, Newton Grove, Hendersonville, - Durham Wayneville and Washington and for all Cleveland county. Interest cen tered on the elections at Raleigh and Durham. At both places the prohi bit ions were defeated—at Raleigh by hundred and ninety-eight majority, and at Durham by seventy-five Golds boro gave the anti-prohibition ticket a hundred and seventy-nine' majority. The prohibitionists have received quite a reverse in this election and appear to have lost ground at many points. Charlotte, N. C.. June 10.—Re sults of the election at the principal towns are given below: Durham, which has been dry for the past three years, went wet by a majority of sev enty-five. The election there was quiet, but both sides worked very hard Monroe, which has been dry also, for some years, has gone wet by one hun dred and twenty majority. The entire county ot Cleveland voted on the question, and although no official re turns are yet in, the indications are that the county remains wet. Shelby, the county seat, which has been dry, gives twenty-five majority for the wet side. No more local option laws can be held in this state for the next two |Will He Explain?

Major Barues said: “1 do not think there will be an ex tra session. In the first place, I don’t sec any necessity for one. There is always this talk about an extra ses sion. It amounts to nothing. Aud then, I think the President, who is known to be a bitter partisan, will not call an extra session until the elections in the four new States are heard from and the Representatives and Senators selected ean get to Washington. The Republicans will hardly organize Congress until they get all their forces on the ground. _ I don’t think there’ll be an extra session.” A correspondent ol the Charleston News and Courier says: “Not for the world would it do »o say anything about it, but, under the rose, Savannah has some poker players among the fair sex, who can squeeze the average man of the world until he wishes he had never heard of a jack pot or a straight. A dollar and a half is their limit, and it they lose they pay like men. II they win, you bet the losers pay.” The average man. as a rule.does hot not object to being * squeezed,” even at a dollar and a half limit. If a good old-fashioned squeeze isn’t worth dollar and a halt, it isn’t worth ^any thing. Young man, do you own a home? If not, why not?

They al- cady have a line of railway in oper ation from Abbeville, Wilcox county, to Louvale, {Stewart county. The line will be extended from Abbeville ea*t to Savannah, aud from Louvale west to Montgomery. We do net believe that there is any doubt of these ex tensions being made. The company has perfected financial arrangements with the Baltimore Mercantile Trust Company, by which bonds to the amount of S4,100,000 will be issued and sold# The mortgages which ena bles the issuance of these bonds has already been recorded. The bonds hear interest at the rate of 0 per cent, payable semi-annually. Interest ou the bonds commences July 1. These new bonds will take up the bonds of the old Americus, Preston & Lumpkin railroad,which amount|to 8600,000. The mortgages provides that the entire line flora Savannah to Mont- ;ouiery sflall be made a standard auge road, each mile of which will be bonded for 812.000. The preliminary survey for the western extension of the liue from L ouvale has already been made.— Enquirer Sun, Columbus. Gen. George Sheridan was an ar dent Harrison man before the elec tion, and he made a number of spee ches for our blue-blooded aud cold blooded President. It is doubtlul if he would take the stump for him again. He said the other day: “Harrison is indifferent to public opiniou. 1 believe he made use of the expression that he was going to please himself, for it is just like him. It is characteristic of the man. He believes that when the Supreme Pow er undertook the making of the uni verse, at that time it was conjointly settled with the creation of the world that in the year 1881) there should be such a person as Ben Harrison on earth and that he should be President of the United J tales. Harrison isn’t thankful for anything or to anybody. Possibly he may congratulate the Lord on having earned out his part of the contract to make Harrison Presi dent, but its doubtful. Ii he isn’t renominated he will simply say: ‘Well, it is the country’s misfortune.’ This has a genuine ring about it. Indianapolis, June 10.—Advices from all parts of the state indicate great damage from thtf* rains of the past week, both to growing crops and to property situated along the water courses.

The Columbus, Ga. f Enquirer-Sun has lately been doing service in show ing the healthfulness of the Southern States, claiming that the south is really the part of the Union.

There is an astounding statement printed elscwhete to the effect that— ‘ ‘ The hull* of the cotton seed of the c, ton states mil produce more beef butt* milk and cheese, more irool and mutt than all the cloccr and blue aru** of Ten netsec, Kentucky and Ohio. And yet it appears to be true. Atlanta firm fattened 5.300 beeves last \ear on cotton seed hulls at a profit of $20,000. Two tram loads of these beeves were shipped from Atlanta to Philadelphia and sold there in coinpe tition with Chicago beef. This same firm will fatten 10,000 steers next ter. Mr. Joel Chfindler Harris, * an thority on fox hounds, bees and Jerseys, is feeding his herd on cotton seed hulls, and says the result in milk, butter and beef is amazing. In the Southern Firm Mr. W. M. Towers, of Rome writes ot a test between corn, cotton seed meal and cotton seed hulls, which the latter produced vastly better results. And vet until a year ago cotton seed bulls were used as fuel for engines or cast away as worthless. Of all the plants that grow cotton is the roiracl: and its wonders are not yet tried. Iu little black wrinkled seed is as full of meaning as an old Hebrew verb.— Constitution. that Governor Gordon, President du- Bignon and Speaker Clay should map out a program for the formal opening of the capitol. The three held a con ference in Atlanta a few weeks airo, and concluded that it might be taken as presumption on their part to make up a program without being requested by the .Senate and House. Governor Gordon will probably be asked to speak, and the gentleman felt that it might be considered indelicite to sc lect one ot tbeir number to .take a leading part in the ceremonies.

' \(W tho w were large planters and owned the ^Hurricanes*' estate, consisting of three great cotton plantations at the extreme lower end of Warren county, Mies., trad about eighteen or twenty miles below Vicksburg. There were between 12,000 and 15,000 acres of the finest land on the Mississippi riv er in these plantations and 750 slaves. All the letters respecting the busi ness of these places for thirty years were written by Ben Montgomery. He frequently went to New Orleans on business for the Davises and car ried with him once 890.000 in money. He traveled with Mr. Davis all over the north, and coaid have run away fifty times had he wished. But he remained faithful and loyal to the last. The Davises were noted for their kindness to their slaves. They had finer “auarters” ou their planta tions, probably, than any planters in the south, excepting the Hampton’s. They kept a physician always on the places, and in every way cared for their “colored people,” as slaves were frequently called. When Mr. Jeffer son Davis and his brother Joseph left their homes, one as the president of the Southern Confederacy and the other as a brigadier general, they put everything under Ben Montgomery’s charge. He made the crops of 1861- 62 and 1862-63, about 3,060 baleii of cotton, and shipped it to New Or leans f nd sold it to foreign buyers for gold. This money he carefully sent to Mr. Davis. Iu 1863, when the slaves were emancipated, Mr. Davis sold the “Hurricanes” to Ben Mont gomery for 8300,000 in gold, ll has been said that this sale was only a ruse to save tlicsc splendid estates from confiscation. Whether this was true or not, when the Federal “agents for the protection of abandoned prop erty and lauds” came to take posses sion of the Hurricanes they found Ben Montgomery with a title strong and valid that it could not lie upset, and they left him alone place, The House of Representatives is ic most magnificent of halls.
