Not long since the son of congressman W. H. H. Cowles committed suicide and now the sad intelligence reaches us that Mr. Willie Warren, of Mt. Pleasant, had taken two bottles of laudanum.

Warren was or years old and no cause whatever can be assigned for the deplorable affair. The outlook for the progressive town of Oxford is just now more promising than ever.

Blow, Esq., for Solicitor. We all endorse what the correspondent says, and equally so do endorse your mention of the fact of the can- of Col Isaac A. Sugg for the same position that Mr. Blow aspires to, we do not think Pitt county should go to the convention divided between two such good and capable men, and we think Col. Sugg has the prior claim to the of all the Col. Sugg was a can- four years ago, and although nearly all the lawyers in the district thought Col. who was the appointee of the Governor and served only two years, should have the office one elective term, and therefore favored his nomination. This he has had. Col. Sugg, in the face of the opposition of his legal brethren, was only defeated in the nominating convention by a very small vote, and it was remarked by one of the leading men of the district who now occupies a high judicial position that he did not believe any other man in the district could have made a better canvass. Col. Sugg enjoys the reputation of being the ablest prosecuting attorneys in the eastern section of the State. I have often noticed that owing to his special adaptability as a prosecutor that he appeared oftener with the State than any other attorney. As to his ability to fill the office and prosecute it with a vigor, none who know him will deny. He was active in the discharge of the duties of the office while Solicitor of Pitt county Superior Court, and everybody be- him to be one of the most officers in bringing offenders to justice. As an active Democrat his course in the past is proof. The manner in which he took his defeat, at convention four years ago, and tho manly speech he made before the con- after the nomination of Col. and while defeat was most stinging and the course he sued during the and not only when called upon, but watchful to see where the enemies camp could be at- tacked and routed. Col. Sugg has given to the cause of the party large- of his means and services. He has done all that a working Demo- could do. He is identified with the interest of the people of the county, agriculturally and every other way, that is for the material interest and prosperity of the people, liberal and generous to all the table demands made upon him as far as he is able He has labored for the success of the Democratic cause whether national, State, or a zeal that showed the true spirit of a stalwart Democrat, and now the party has an opportunity to show its appreciation of the kindly and well performed services of Col. Sugg in the past. And we think it would be a most graceful thing for the people they die to unanimously support Col. Sugg in the convention and nominate him to the office he is most peculiarly fitted for, and one he richly deserves, and one that not only the people of Pitt county the people of the district would be de- lighted to see fill. The offenders be the only ones to fall out with him. Let Pitt and the whole district go solid for Col. Sugg, will be great satisfaction when his term of office expires, in tee foot that he has his duty well and Jew. Opinions of the Press, On Questions of the Say. UNEASY. Courier.

One of the pars ties, Frazier, was lynched by a mob Newton was placed in jail but after- wards escaped, Adams ran away. He and Newton met in Mississippi rent- ed land down there and run a farm together. Sheriff in some way discovered that they were fugitives from North Carolina and wrote to the Sheriff of different ties in this State until he learned the men were wanted in Beaufort county. He succeeded in capturing Adams but Newton is still at large. Episcopal Council.
