We are very sorry to hear that Col.
E. d. Hall, Chief Of Police, is con-
fined to the house with painful af-
Fiction. About a week ago, while
writing, he stuck pen into his

that blood-poisoring is feared. The
entire right arm is swollen and in

were glad to hear, however, that he
was somewhat better this afternoon.
The Franklin Press says: Mr..
c. G. Henry showed us the other
day the skin Of a deer-a snow
white buck-which was killed by
Mr.. Tabor of Swain county. 1t is
the white buck that is said to yield
the mad stone. We have not heard
whether one was found in this deer
or not.
On lastThursday Mr.. !. G. Bates
of Knoll, Macon county, was busy
working with the lumber in his dry
kiln. His little boy, some six or
seven wears old, was in the kiln with
his father. Mr.. Bates was called
out for something and left the little
fellow inside Suddenly he noticed
that the plank mad started to
fall and made rush for the child.
but too late. The lumber fell upon
the child's head and crushed and
mangled it in n horrible manner.
when he was taken out life was not
quite extinct, but before he could
be carried to the house the little
fellow was dead. Mr.. Bates made
a grab for the..child just as the plank
fell and had his own head badly
mashed.

REV. Mr.. PEARSON IN NEwBERHE.

REV. Mr.. PEARSON IN NEwBERNE.
The Newbernc Journal thus re-
fers to the services of the above gen
tlemen in that city:
The church was packed Yesterday
at the II o'clock service The sub
ject was "Looling Unto Jesus" and
was handled in the preachers usual
simplicity of style, illustrating his
scriptural quotations with force and
striking effect. At the conclusion of
his sermon several went forward
and confessed Christ.
At night long before the hour of
services the church was densely pack
ed. Rev. DR.. Vass conducted the
preliminary services. Rev. Mr..
Pearson being informed that the
church was filled and the congre
cation would take it as a favor if he
would come on and begin the services,
he arrived some minutes ahead of
time and began his last sermon at
these meetings.
His sermon was upon the text to
be found in the goth verse of the Sd
chapter of Judges, Il have message
from God unto thee" After cxplain
ing the nature of Gods message, how
the messenger should carry and de-
liver it, he announced sven indict-
ments in the message which he as an
evangelist would deliver to them
1st, Your record is simple.
I'd Your nature is wicked.
Sd. God loves you.
4th. Christ died for you.
9TH. Repent or you perish.
9th. Unbelief will damn YOU.
9TH. Faith in Jesus Christ will Sc
cure your salvation right here and
now.
The preacher handled this subject
with much power and JUNCTION of
spirit. 1t was strictly what we would
term a gospel sermon an effort to
convert sinners to Christ.
This sc mon closed his series of
meetings which have resulted in the
conversion Of about two hundred and
fifty, and caused many backsliding
Christians to renew their VOWS to the
church.
The NJ. Z. Church was crowded at
the after meeting. Much interest
was manifested and many went for
ward and professed conversion. The
preacher made a proposition to all
who could resolve to hold family
prayer to come forward.

A Good Decision.

WASHINGTON, March 3 First
Comptroller Durham has decided
that the marshal in paying the fees
Of jurors and witnesses is not at lib
erty to pay them to any one except
the Juror or witness himself; that
certificates which are usually issued
by the clerk or marshal in evidence
OF the claims Of witnesses and Jurors
are not negotiab)e and cannot be
made negotiable, and that the mar
shal has no authority to pay such
certificates, except in the hands of
the original holders. Section 3477
revised statutes, declares the as
signme2t of claims against the Uni
ted States to be void, and the Comp
troller says that the marshals Will
be held accountable accordingly in
the disbursement of public funds.
He says also that this decision will
put a stop to the traffic in claims of
jurors and witnesses throughout,
which is constantly giving rise to
scandals, especially when tne ap-

BUSCoMBE SUPERIOR CoURr.

BUXCOMBE SUPERIOR COURT.
Judge McRae and Solicitor Moody
have already arrived in the city for
the purpose of holding the Spring
term of Buncombc Superior Court.
The criminal docket contains more
cases than usual, while the civil issue
docket has been materially decreased
by the superior business methods Of
the last presiding judge-Montgome-
~. We lean that an effort will
be made by the legal fraternity to
get through with all the cases on the
calendar, and in this endeavor Judge
McRae's we'll known capacity for dis
patching public business will not be
lacking. There are three capital cases
to be disposed of, and the trial of
these will occupy the entire first week
and probably the better part of the
second, so that the civil docket will
not be taken up perhaps until Thurs
day of that week. The first case on
the criminal docket is that of the
State VS.. Cowan, for murder, to which
reference h already been made in
these columns
