and killed Eli Holder, a white man.
Boone is in Jail. There have been
several such affairs at this same
camp-ground.
One of the peculiar sights of this
court is to see the heretofore smooth
shaver faced Col. Linney, with a
luxuriant growth of side-burns. 1t
does not, however, effect the Colonel's
good looks or his ability as lawyer.
Mr.. Chewing, of the firm of Wade
& Chewing, was in town Monday.
He was looking out for more hands.
The headquarters of the firm has
been moved into Wilkes. He is want

Winston Negroes Hurt.

Winston Negroes Hurt.
The Reidsville correspondent of the
Danville Register, under date of the
18th instant, says:
ED Thomas, colored. and a negro
youth whose name is not known,
were asleep on trestle about six
miles south of this place, when the
south-bound train. which is due at
this place at S:55 q. m, came along.
The engineer says he saw them, but
not in time to stop his train, and
they were struck by the COW catcher
and thrown fifteen or twenty feet
down the embankment. They were
picked up by the train crew and
brought to this place and two ply
sicians called in. Ed. Thomas arm
was badly crushed and had to be am
putated. It is thought that he will
recover. The boy was much more
seriously injured. received blow
on the back of the head which crush
ed his skull and pressed a portion of
it in. When picked up he was uncon-
scious and has not yet recovered. 1t
is thought that he will die. They
were from Winston and were here to
find work, and failing, were returning
home when the accident occurred"

DR.. Dlxon's Plan.

DR.. Dlxon's Plan.
DR.. B. F. Dixon, Sup erintendent OF
the Oxford Orphan Asylum, was in
Winston last week, discussing plan
for erecting q cotton factory at the
Asylum.
The good Doctors plan is to raise
$780, 900 for this purpose by private
subscription. He says this amount
will put up a good factory for the
reason that the manufacturers of the
machinery will give him a big dis
count; that the railroads will haul
the machinery free and that brick can
be made on the Asylum grounds at
very small cost.
If DR.. Dixon succeeds, he will ac-
complish the two-fold object of cloth
ing the orphans and giving employ
ment to those who are old enough to
do labor. One firm in Philadelphia
has already agreed to take all the
yarns the factory can produce at a
fair price.
We sincerely hope DR.. Dixon will be
successful.

The Reidsville Sensation.

Webster's Weekly of yesterday
says: "The coroner's jury investiga-
ting the Morris case resumed it's sit
ting yesterday morning after a rest
of a week, and consumed the day in
examining Mr.. and Mrs. Calvin H.
Scales, the parents of Mrs. Morris.
The evidence produced was to the eff
feet that while Mr.. and Mrs. Morris
life was not an ideal one, yet there
had never been any violent outbreaks.
The Legislature of 1887 changed
the analyzation of stomachs, which
requires an Investigation of the val
idity of suspicion. Unless the coro-
ner's jury deem the suspicion strong
enough to warrant analysis and such
analysis show traces of poison in
the stomach, showing foul play, it is
our opinion that the investigation
will amount to nothing, so far as
Mrs. Morris is concerned,
''The stomach is still in Reidsville
awaiting the action of the jury"

Large, Healthy Names.

The Smith Grove correspondent of
the DaVie Times gets ahead of 'em
all on names. He says that in one
'coon" family in Davie the first child
was quietly laid in the cradle, with
the swaddling clothes still on, and
labelled thus: Dukey Daniel Levi
George Abram Harper.
Number 2 was quieted with a few
drops of paregoric while the following
entry was made in the family Bible:
Jinsey Ann Florence Victoria Miner

Blowing Rock Notes.

The season just closed has been
very satisfactory in spite of the wet
weather-and this is more than can
be said of most resorts during this
wet summer. This writer has spent
no more delightful days anywhere
than he spent this year at the old
Watauga Hotel. This year the hotel
was managed by Mr.. l. N. Corpening,
one of the owners, assisted by Col.
Lewis d. Williams and Miss Bette
Williams, of Charlotte. 1t is the
unanimous verdict this year among
the visitors that the management
has been perfectly satisfactory. Inn
provements will be made before the
opening of the next season, and a
much larger number of guests is ex-
pected. The other owner Of the hotel,
Capt. j. G. Finley, will have the gen.
eral supervision next year. Wehope
to shake the genial Captains hand
next summer

The Lecture Last Night

The Lecture Last Night
Mr. E. S. Simmons, of Washing
ton, N. c., lectured last night at
Browns Opera House, on the eek
istence of a Personal God" The au-
dience was a small one, owing chiefly
to inefficient advertising and the
shortness of the notice given, but the
lecturer did not let this fact affect
him. He is capital talker, at times
eloquent, and handled his subject in
a mastery manner. In the course of
his remarks he alluded to the fact
that no man had ever claimed the
authorship of the Bible, and the lee
ture throughout was replete with bib
lical history and original thoughts
How any thinking man could deny
the existence of a personal God pass
ed his comprehension. We wish
more of our people had heard him.
He goes from here to Morganton,
Asheville, Charlotte and Salisbury.

The New York Herald says truly:
"Our people please themselves with

they have the right to NEEDLE little

scream like SO many crows and joys
over the eternal principles of free

economical facts and controlling
forces in the political destinies of a

forward on lines that indicate the

spirit. In that movement a great
