Mr. Sheppard was doing some work near a branch on the place of Calvin Kesler in this county, when he ran across forty five of them.

Statesville Landmark: Luke Russell, of Institute, Lenoir county, committed suicide last week by shooting himself in the head with a pistol.

Mr. Coxe and his family work in on of the cotton mille and were on night duty. At home were left two little girls, aged 10 and 12 years. They were asleep at the time of the fire and would have been burned to death but for the fact that some one in passing discovered the blaze, broke open the door and rescued the children, who were unaware of their great danger. A large crowd soon gath ered and saved most of the furniture. Greensboro Telegram: We are re quested by Mr. W. T. Sergeant, chair man of the water and light commission, to notify all persons who are using the 'city water for sprinkling lawns, etc., to stop at once. The water supply, Mr. Sergeant says, is lower than was ever known. "There is just this about it," Mr. Sergeant said today. "The people have got to stop using the water for sprinkling. If they won't stop on this request Ave will send around and cut off the water ourselves. The use of wa ter except for absolutely necessary pur Ioses must stop until -e get in better shape."

It was corned ihere from High Point. Harmony Correspondent of Statesville Landmark: There have been most de structive hail storms in this section during this season ever known in the memory of the oldest citizens. There is a belt extending from Eagle Mills eastward to near th? county line, three or four miles .wide, that has been swept by several of these storms, the first one in May. Of course th?y are very local in their nature and, as a rule, any one place in this belt was not visit ed more than once, but the hail wrought a great destruction wherever it went. In the early spring it beat off the fruit and in some places entirely destroyed wheat. Later it cut up Ihe young ccrn and almost entirely destcyed some cotton- Still later in July it very baily in jured tobacco and corn folder. Wadesboro Messenger Intelligencer: Lightning struck a stable which, be longed to Mr. G. A. Martin, of Mon.cn, Sunday afternoon, anI killed two mules. The building was only slightly damag ed.

Sanford Express: Sawyer and Swain, two white men who It was believed were guilty of burglary here early In the spring, and who wcr? shot and wounded by a posse of officers while at tempting to make their escape, were given a hearing In the fcuperior court at Carthage this week. They submitted and as the court thought that hey had already been punished enough, for the crime with, which they were charged, they were discharged. Sawyer lost a leg while Swain received only a flesh wound. The cost of operating the Sanford water works is now about 575 per month, and the receipts for last month3 amounted to about $142, the dif ference of J87 going towards paying the interest on the water bond3.

Spain has determined to make the best of the situation and negotiate a commercial treaty with Cuba, a diplo mat having left Madrid for Havana with that object in view. Spain is act ing sensibly, and she will no doubt get much of the Cuban trade which our protectionists, refuse to let the United States have. Louisville Courier- Jour nal. People in the north, says the Provi dence Journal, must bring some judg ment to their consideration of the evils of lynching than is often displayed here. They muse put themselves in the places of their southern countrymen, so far as imagination will help them, and not indulge in passionate attacks upon men, who alter all. are not vastly different in intelligence and impulses from themselves. General Wood's report shows that, though he handled $50,000,000 during his administration In Cuba, he generously turned over a balance of $30,000 for the insular government to start in business with. It might not be a bad idea, after all, to make him the casnier of the Isth- j mi an Canal fund, with the understand- j ing. of course, that no part of it was to be employed in printing argumenta tive literature for any corporate cause. News and Courier. Our American officials should go very slow in criticising France for the ex pulsion of the religious orders, as we ourselves propose to do something very similar in the Philippines and for less plausible reason- France alleges that the orders have constantly conspired against the republic. We have no ob jections, from an American standpoint, to the orders 'n the Philippines, but desire to expel Ihem to placate the Filipinos, whom we have freely charac terized as little better than savages.

New York Journal. General Grosvenor had a spasm of candor in his last Chautauqua address, when he referred to the Teller resolu tion, under which the United States went to war with Spain. "This resolu tion," he said, "declared that our pur pose in the war was not aggrandize ment, and that we did not want any territory. I did, and I had Cuba in mind. "The regret of many of our states men regarding that resolution i.i some thing like the bitterness fe.it by the convalescent who had weakly forgiven .his enemies when he thought he was dying. Sprigfield Republican. The agitation in the south against the employment of child labor in mills has made a promising and encouraging start, a number of southern newspa pers having taken up the question, while individuals here and there are making themselves heard. The Conncetlcut cotton duck company that intends to move its plant to some southern state will find itself in a very few years lobbying at the dors of the southern legislatures to prevent the passage of an anti-child labor law. . This is a form of slavery that the new south will not stand by. Opinion in Connecticut con cerning the course is not flattering to that concern. If business must feed and fatten on children under fourteen years of age, then modern industry is on a very insecure foundation Spring field Republican. Sharp wars are brief. An era is now foreshadowed when both brief and long wars will be bloodless By an arrange ment of small mirrors in a vertical tube attached to the rifle, the soldier can conceal himself behind a fence or wall and fire with deadly aim without ex posing his head to view his rifle sights. Equipped with this device two oppos ing forces without artillery could cause no bloodshed. The maximum damage done would be the breaking of a few mirrors above each other's heads. The enemy first deprived of his apparatus would be "hors de combat." With the hyposcope war becomes only a test of marksmanship, the coward is as good as the brave man, and soldiering be comes popular, promoting its true pur pose peace. New York Press. Justice Shlras of the supreme court bench celebrated his seventieth birth day last Januaiy. It is believed that he will be the next member of that bench to retire- Mr. Justice Shiras is a Pennsylvanlaian, and the Pennsyl vania seem to think that a man from their state must, of course, be his suc cessor. They look upon the seat as being one of the prequisities of their state. And in this situation it is re ported that Senators Quay and Pen rose have already selected their man, in the person of J. Hay Brown of Lan caster, pa. Mr. Brown of Lancaster may be an exceptionally able" jurist, but the country would look with dis pleasure at the elevation of any per son known as "Quay's man" to the su preme court bench.

The bones were found at a depth of thirty-five feet below the surface, and some of the scientific sharps say the man lived as much as 35,000 years ago. The skull is very thick, which no doubt indicates that he was a practical joker and possibly met his death by locking the boat- Exchange.

Last winter the Seaboard Air Line made strenuous efforts to obtain chartersfrom the Vir ginia legislature for roads tapping the coal fields. Now its purchase of the East & West railway shows that it will be a factor in the coal-carrying trade of Alabama and Virginia." The coal will be delivered io ships at Savannah and Tampa.

A cabic di patch has been received from General Chaffee stating in his judgment an ac tive campaign against Moros in Mm danao was necessary in order to curb the opposition that has been growing against United States authority.

Tli rice A rated. (Detroit Fice Press (Dem.) With cbaractei istic Roseveltlair di rectness, the president has carried his Cuban reciprocity quarrel to the people In his Fourth o July speech at Pitts burg, Mr. Roosevelt declared, with that blumness which has brought him most of his politicaLsuccess and all his poll tival enemies: "I regret that a meas ure of reciprocity with Cuba is not al ready embodied in statute or in treaty but it will be just as sure as fate." The boldness of this challenge to the beet sugar interests and the beet sugar cabal will startle the senatorial clique that was responsible for the smother ing of the reciprocity act. They are becoming customed to the president's "you-be-damned" methods in private.but it is an innovation to deal with a president who does no: tan.e!y submlt to defeat in the interests of party harmony. Mr. McKinley caught all his files with molasses, and when the fly refused to stick he accepted the seemingly Inevitable in a spirit of cheerful resignation. Mr. McKinlev re garded free trade with Porto Rico as a "plain duty"; but when congress de clined to accept his opinion, he grace fully adopted the opinon of congress. He had led the congressional horse to water, and if the obstinate beast would not drink, he himself was disposed to stoop down and wash his hands of all responsibility. Not so with Mr. Roosevelt- The animal ought to drink. So the president gleefully seizes the horse by the neck and proceeds to chuck its nose into the water. It is an interest ing performance, and the sympathy of the spectators is certain to be with the bronco buster. A president can seldom make a mis take by appealing to the conscience of the American people, and few citizens will think the worse of Theodore Roosevelt for refusing to accept the inaction of congress in respect to Cuba as final. On the side of the beet sugar combination are nineteen senators, ac tuated by Various motives: but on the side of the president is the great ma jority of American people, who have some little pride in the honor and good faith of their country, and see no rea son why these should fee prostituted in the interests of a single industry" that can soon sustain itself off its by-products. ' The Short Step Between. (Philadelphia Record.) "I was on the Paris when she ran on the rocks off the English coast, a couple of years ago," said a Philadelphia trav eling man yesterday, "and in the panic that ensued there was an incident that stands out in my memory illustrating the slender thread betvveen the tragic and the ridiculous. We had a fellow on board who had managed to keep pretty well loaded all the way across, and when we struck the rocks he was in his usual condition. When everybody though for sure we were going to the bottom, he sat down at the piano in the saloon, and what do you suppose he be gan playing? 'Home, Sweet Home. Somebody went to him and begged him to stop. Immediately he switced off from the doleful strains of the old song to the rollicking melody of 'Down went McGinty.'

Some amusing errors are made by translators. An Italian paper turned Kipling's "Absent-minded Beggar" into a "Distracted Mendicant." Another Italian editor who translated a passage from an English paper about a man who had killed his "wife with a poker added an ingenfus footnote to say, "We do not know with certainty whether this thing 'pokero' be a domestic or surgical instrument." The desperate expedient of the French translator of Cooper's "Spy," who had to explain how a horse could be hitched "to a locust," is worth recalling. He had r.ever heard of locust trees and rendered the word by "sauterelle," or grasshopper. Feel ing that this needed some explanation, he appended a foot note explaining that grasshoppers grew to a gigantic size in the United States and that it was the custom to place a stuffed specimen at the door of every mansion for the con venience of visitors, who hitched their horses to it.

Pa.. August IS. In a clash between striking mine xrkers and deputies here tonight, Patrick Sharp, a. striker, of Lans-ford, was hot and killed almost instantly by a deputy. The shooting caused considerable ex citement for a time, but order was soon restored without any other j-ersoti being injured and the town i :unv quiet. A deputy named Hcxry Mv ill rnoyle was arrested charged with ls.e killing of Sharp, and wa3 takt n to t;je county jail at Mauchchunk. The shooting occurred short. y after 6 o'clock. Five deputies wcra on thlr way to shaft Xo. 1 of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company just outside of the town. In the centre of tha town they were met by a number of strikers who began persuading them not to go to the colliery. The Qfficera did not stop but kept on their way and tried to prevent any trouble. The frtrtktm. it Is said then began to abuse the men and followed them nearly up to the col liery. There are conflicting stories a to what actually brought on the clash, but before the deputies entered the place a. shot was heard and Sharp dropped to the ground. The bullet entered hla body close to hbs heart and he died al most instantly. Witnesses say that the shooting was done by McElmcyle and that he stood only six or ieven feet from Sharp when he fired his revolver. Only one shot was fired. The deputies immediately withdrew to the colliery and a large crowd gath ered about the place. When it waa learned that Sharp was dead there was the greatest indignation among the strikers and other town people, and for a lime it looked as though serious trouble would follow. Cooler head among the workers, however prevailed upon the crowd to disperse, using the argument that if there is an blxdshed troops would surely be sent hen from Shenandoah. The crowd disirsed and the town soon calmed down to its nor mal state. Witnesses to the shooting w.-nt to the office of W. It. Watkhiit. the justice of the peace, and made Information against Harry McElmoyle, charging him with the shooting of Sharp.
