u Nery Tough ISOy,

About two weeks ago, Charles Angie,
Of Eagle Mills, North Caroline, boy
nbont seven years old, was leading a
COW, having the rope tied by slip knot
to his arm, when the COW ran away with
him. lilo was dragged headlong over
rocks and stumps, his body dislodging
large rocks from the ground and some
times not striking the earth for a dis
tance of ten feet, The COW ran until
she got into a wheat field, where she
got the rope around stump, the boy e
head against the stump, when she pulled
until she broke tho rope and freed her
self of her burden. The boy was bruised
from head to heels and his face and head
were gashcd all over, but no bones wcrc
broken and in few days time he was
in as good shape as ever.

with razor Saturday, died yesterday. The
suicide was employed until Il few weeks
ago in the C0OpCragC Of Lowell Nj. Palmer

bic to secure employment, and in order to
purchase bread for his family was com
PEELED to sell his little household effects.
On Saturday the family parted with the
last Of their furniture and they are now in
distressed circumstances This 50 preycd
upon Ford's mind that he determined to
end his life in order that his family might
! receive the small insurance upon his life to
keep them from starvation. Before com
hitting his rash act he wrote this letter to
his wife in small account book:

ENDORSING CLEVELAND AND TARIFF REFORM
The following resolutions, offered by
Major Buist of Charleston, were unani,
mously adopted on the recommendation
of the committee appointed:
Resolved '1st, That the Democratic
party of the State of South Carolina in
State Convention assembled do hereby
express their unqualified appreciation OF
the administration of President Olevcc:
land and their desire for his renomina-
ton and re election.
Resolved 2nd, Thati in President Glove
land the Democracy Of South Carolina
recognize an exalted type of American
manhood. lnasmuch AZ he is mindful of
official responsibilities, fearless in official
action and steadfast in the face of i'm
pUrtunity.
Resolved Sd, That President Cleveland,
in his public life, exemplities the simp-
hcity without parsimony, the dignity
without eXcluslveness, which should
mark the character and conduct Of one
who is higher than all other rulers, in
being the embodiment of the sovereign
majesty Of more than G0,000,0 900 people.
Resolved, 4th, That the enormous ex-
crss of public revenue over the necessary
and proper public expenditure is III
Itself startling evidence of needless and
therefore unj ust taxation. Tho millions
so withdrawn from trade and industry
arc barren of legitimate fruit, and are in
themselves menace to the business of
the whole country.
Resolved, 9th, That the message OF
President Cleveland, advocating re.
duction in the revenue. by lowering the
taxation OD the ncccssarics of life, and
the raw material OF manufacture, meets
with our hearty and thorough approval
as a statesmanlike and practical way il
which the overburdened people can DC
relieved without injury to labor or dan
ger to capital.
Thcsixth resolution was rejected upon
the unfavorable report of the committee
1t is as follows:
Resolved, 9th. That, recognizing the
necessity for concession in order to Sc
cure liberal measure of tariIf reform,
we give to the tariff bill, reported by the
Committee on Ways and Means anl
known as the Mills bill, our cordial ap
proval, and urge the Democracy Of til,
country to accept it as u meas"r" whicl
will make life easier to the people n
large, increase the opportunities O
manufacturers, and maintain the present
| high position of enlightened American
labor.
On motion, Major q. l.. Buist, o
Charleston, was called to the chair. A
resolution of thanks to the President fol
his courteous and efficient discharge o.
his duties was unanimously adopted
Col. Pope responded in brief but earn
est speech, which was loudly applaudcd
