SOUTHERN aLEANINGS.


For some months past the people of Ca
barrus County, NC, have been excited by the
visits of a weird negress, with long hair and
cleaning eyes. She asks in hardly distin-
guishable gibberish for baby to eat, and
makes efforts to get hold of the children. The
men, getting tired of the fears of their wives.
determined to try to catch the creature, and
for the last week crowds Of farmers have been
daily and nightly chasing her without sue
cess. The first effort to catch her was made
by John Roberts, blacksmith. The
wild creature had appeared several
times at fire which it was the
habit of Carey Moore, coIored, of the
neighbOrhood, to light after dark in the yard
of his house for the preparation of his meals.
Roberts was put there to watch for her, and
she appeared even before the flames were
well kindled. She presented such a wild look
in the half light and asked for TODD in such a
wild fashion that Roberts was demoralized.
He recovered, however, made an outcry, and
attempted to seize the woman, but she slip
ped through his hands and disappeared in
the dark shadows of the woods. Major Steven
Coweu caught sight of the creature on the
following morning and chased her across an
open field. He was badly hurt in his efforts
to keep up with her, and reported that she
Outran buck and cleared four corn rows at
a leap. That night she was again en-
ticed from the gloom of the woods by
the kindling of a IRE, and was chased
by thirty men without success. Capt. Marsh
Allen later on met her in the neighborhood
her face torn and bleeding and a long, bloody
knife in her hand. The creature was Naked
and so unearthly and terrible looking to him
that he says he is not sure it is a human be-
ing. Her hair reached almost to her feet but
was l1inky like that of the African. 1t is not
mere fright which has caused the country
people to organize in their attempts to catch
the creature, who has been living in the forest
and swamp Businesses for year or more.
Some months ago it is reported that an in
tant was spirited away from its parents
yard while they were in the corn-field, and
was never heard from, and the disappearance
was from that section of the country in which
the wild woman has been seen, and mothers,
white and black, are in terror for fear their
little ones may also become food for the can
nibal negress. The excitement among the
negroes and simple country folk is intense.
BY the more intelligent farmers the theory is
advanced that the creature is some half wit
| ted woman who has been so hunted down
! that she lives in terror of all human beings,
and, therefore, lives like an animal in the
/ forest.
