LETTER FROM KINGS MOUNTAIN.
KINGS MOUNTAIN, N. c.,
nEl 1910


A melancholy accident happened near this
place last week, by which worthy man lost
his life Mr.. Samuel :Harman, a carpenter,
was working on a scadold about eight feet
high, and the scafold falling, precipitated him
to the ground. Mr.. Harman was working
with a chisel, and when be fell his neck came
in contact with the edge Of the. instrument,
which severed the windpipe and two arteries,
causing instant death. Mr.. Harman was q
leading elder in the A. R. Church, and q
model Christian gentleman. ..a
Notwithstanding the dull times, our town
is still improving. We now have popula-
tion of from 300 to 1926 persons, and some
building is now going on. The house of wor-
ship being erected by the A. R. Presbyterian
denomination is nearly completed, and the
lumber is being hauled and other preparations
making for erecting an academy building.
In the meantime we have good school un-
der charge Of Capt. Bell.
We also have the banner lodge of Friends
of Temperance in the Stats-our lodge hav-
ing been in operation about twelve months
and numbering $50 members. The Masonic
lodge is also in very prosperous condition.
In fact, everything seems to prosper at this
place, and there would be much more build
ing done if eligible lots could be procured on
which to build. But the land Immediately
adjacent to the village is owned by parties in
Charlotte, who seem to be Indifferent about
selling 1t off in lots.
In addition to other natural attractions IN
this locality, the spring Of medicinal water,
four or five miles from this place, is worthy Of
mention, and will, no doubt, at some future
day be an attractive place of resort by the in
valid. The water of this spring has proven
quite efficacious in the cure Of cutaneous and
scrofulous affections.
Trade is rather dull here now, owing to the
low price of cotton, which is quoted, at from
6 to III cents, extremes. j. b.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.

The executive committee of the Senate on
the 18th, was wholly occupied in the discus
sion of the peace policy and the existing sys-
tenn of appointing Indian agents on the re-
commendation of the religious bodies of the
country. No conclusion, up to the hour Of
adjournment, was reached. The House pro-
ceedings were unimportant ...
In the Senate on the 14th, a bill reducing
the Presidents salary to $4,000 after the
4th of March, 1877, passed, by vote Of 26
to 20. After the vote was taken, Mr.. Chris
tiancy said he would move reconsideration
of the vote, and entered notice to that effect.
The House discussed the proposed transfer Of
Indian affairs to the war department., and the
bill introduced for that purpose was made the
special order for the 30th instant.
In the Senate on the 18th, bill was re-
ported from the committee on Indian affairs,
providing for an agreement with the Sioux
nation regarding portion of their reserva-
ton. This bill is for the purpose Of obtain
ing from the Sioux the absolute relinquish-
ment of the Black Hills country. The ne
gotiation therefor is to be conducted by FIVE
commissioners to be appointed by the Presi-
dent. The House was in committee Of the
whole on the Legislative appropriation bill.
In the Senate on the 18th, a resolution was
introduced and placed on the calendar, provi-
ding that proceedings and debates shall ap-
pear in the Congressional Record as they are
actually delivered, grammatical errors ex-
cepted. A resolution was adopted requesting
the secretary of the treasury to furnish the
Senate with statement Of the annual pro-
duct of gold and silver in the United States
from 1S45 to 1875, inclusive; also the amount
of gold and silver in other parts Of the world
for the same years, together with an estimate
of gold and silver now in the United States.
The bill regulating the counting Of the elec-
tora1 vote was discussed. A long discussion
ensued on the bill making an appropriation
for the deficiency in the bureau Of engraving
and printing, and to provide for the circula'
ton of silver; but no action was had. The
session of the House was devoted to the dis
cussion of the proposition to exclude from
the galleries promiscuous spectators, on the
ground that the building is so badly ventila-
ted as to render it unhealthy for members
when the galleries are crowded.

Adjournment Of the Legislature.
by a concurrent resolution of both

Assembly will adjourn tonight.
One Cause Of Crime.
I'm his charge to the grand jury Of Tai
iaferro county, Georgia, last week, Judge
Pottle gave as one cause Of crime on his cir
cult, the failure ofplanters to raise sufficient
supply of food for all the consumers. He
stated that crime in his circuit was on the in
crease, and as far as his knowledge extended,
it was the case in other circuits. AS conse-
quence crowded jails, multiplied and protract'
ed courts, with enormous burdens Of taxation,
have become indispensable to the protection
of society and the maintenance Of anything
like law and order in the country. The cause
of this state of things, he said, was in the de-
fective system of agriculture among us-the
failure of the farmers to produce the bread Of
life. The history of all governments, the
world over, demonstrates the fact that good
society, prosperity and happiness could not be
maintained by people who did not raise
their own supplies.
Showers Of Fish and Flesh.
The Louisville Courier Journal states,
on what it asserts to be reliable authority,
that about 2 o'clock P. NJ, on the 3rd instant,
the day being perfectly clear, shower of
flesh fell in Bath county, KY. The wife of
farmer Crouch whose place is near Mudlick
Springs was standing in her doorway, and
observing particles of peculiar and unusual
kind descending from clear sky, called 9TH
ers to witness the startling phenomenon. The
fall of the flakes lasted about ten minutes.
They came down in scattering showers and
settled on space of Mr.. Crouch's farm,
probably one hundred by two hundred yards
in extent. After the fall the people collected
around the ground thus covered and exam
ined what had so mysteriously descended
from the heavens. The flakes were from the
size of pea to that of human finger and
rather thin. They were Of regular flesh COL
or, and in touching trees and fences left a
mark similar to that of blood in its secondary
condition. The flesh was somewhat like
mutton in appearance, and was readily de-
voured by hogs and chickens.
And. in addition to the above, we have the
following fish story, from Winchester, Indi'
ana, under date of the 18th instsntl
eve had the greatest sensation to-day in
the history Of the county. The people are
wild with excitement, and at this writing are
visiting the scene by hundreds. About 10
o'clock this day, the sky being clear and the
sun shining, there was ram from the heaV-
ems of acres of living, fish, Some as long as
four feet. Mr.. Joseph HullsNhad calf kill.

LETTER FROM BLACKS STATION.
BLACKS STATION, s. c.,

Business at this place is not now so brisk as
it has been, or as is usual at this season Of the
year, except in the sale Of feHilizers. The
farmers of this section are investing as heavily
as ever heretofore in fertilizers to be used on
cotton crop, which fertilizers are to be paid
for in the fall at an advance of twenty per
cent. on the cash price, This indulgence en-.
courages extravaganza and burdens the plan
tor with debt, in the hegipnipg-not only for
fertilizers, but in many instances for bread
and meat, in addition to the expense of hired
labor and with no security for the future, ex-
oept faint hope Of a price for cotton that
will Justify such extravaganza and specula.
tion. The present prospects are that large
crop will be planted, and if there is an aver.
age yield, we may expect cotton to be low

The only hope to change such system and
correct the evils resulting from it, is to induce
the farmers to divide their lands into tenan-
tries andlease for q number of years, for GER
tain improvements at fixed per cent on the
value of the lands, or to sell every alternate
lot, thereby doubling the value Of the remain
ing half.
= A meeting was held here last Saturday to
consider movement in that direction. Rev.
Tilman r. Gaines, real estate and emigrant
agent, who has an Office in New York city,
was present and delivered an address. He
explained that the channels of emigration are
now open to the South; that heretofore an
emigrant's ticket from New York to Chica-
goa distance of fifteen hundred miles-cost
only FIVE dollars, while tc Greenvile,S. c., the
cost had been thirty dollars; but that he had
been instrumental in inducing the different
railroad companies to lower the rates to Green
vile to twelve dollars, and half the usual
rates of freight on any personal property
they may bring with them. Mr. Gaines pro-
posed to furnish us and all others in the Pied
mont.region, with class Of emigrants able
to buy or lease our surplus lands, who would
be interested in a good government, thereby
relieving us politically, besides building up
our schools and churches. The organization
of an Aid Immigration Society was effected
