The famous mind reader
Bishop, Of New Yo k, was strick-
Ell down with cataIep5Y last
Thursday just aftec performing
his most wonderful feat. In
about three hours Drs. Irwin,
Ferguson aud IIance were per-
forming an autopsy, without
notice to coroner or Bishops
family. The mother and wife
of Bishop claim that lie was not
dead, but simply in a lance as
lie has often been before, at one
time remaining in that condition
for 48 hours. 1t seems that
Bishop himself feared that he
would be buried alive or sub
jected to an autopsy while yet
alive at soIe time, and he had
requested hi- wife to keep his
body three days before living
it up. The doctors have been
put under arrest.

Some time since we mentioned
the fact that our farmers who
grow rice sustain a serious loss
by carelessness in harvesting,
and again the matter is brought
to mind by the following letter
shown us by Mr.. W. A. johnson:
WILMINGTON, N. c., May 16 'S9
Mr.. w A. JOHNSON, Clinton, n. C
DEAR SIR:-We have received
the rough rice shipped us some time
since, and as has been the case with
nearly all the rice of your section,
we find it damaged and chiefly in
the way it was harvested.
Is there not some way in which
you can induce the good people of
Sampson to use better seed, and last
but not least, more care in harvest
ing? They are losing thousands of
dollars each year by their manifest
indifference to this matter, After
going to he trouble and expense of
making a crop they should enjoy
the fruits of their labor, but they
can never do this while they are so
indifferent in preparing it for mar
ket. Respectfully yours,
NORWOOD GILES & Co.
We hope rice growers will
make a note of the above as it
is to their interest.

Quite all important factor in
the dc velOpment of any section
of country is the public roads.
Good roads a"e an ADVERTISEMENT
in themselves Great attention
deservedly is bestowed i'll this
country upon railroads, while
wagon roads are generally left
to take care Of themselves, or
are turned over to managers
who know little about road max
ing. The public roads OF the
South need much Improvement,
and no time should be lost in
devising effective methods Of
lettering their condition. With
this end in view a number Of
prominent citizens of Georgia
have invited the people of sew
eral counties of that State to
send delegates to a Road Con-
gress, to be held at Atlanta On
March %, to consider the sub
ject of improving highways and
devise an effective and econom-
zeal system of road making.
Similar action ought to be taken
by the people Of other States.
Good roads pay for themselves
in the saving they effect in the
wear and tear OF vehicles and
the strain upon draught animals,
to say nothing of the advanta-
ges to traffic and the convenience
of the travelling public. The
material for road making Of the
highest order are abundantly
distributed all over the South,
and the public loads of that sec
ton, with good management,
could be made the best in the
country. Manufacturers Rec

MILLS DON'T LIKE THE OUTLOOK.
The Free Trade Idea Play ing Heb In the
North.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Roger @. Mills
has just been interviewed agaiu by G
Washington correspondent. In his latest
talk he complains that Democratic leaders
have not sufficient courage TO push the
tariff issue as strongly as it should be
pushed, and therefore men OF his class
are more or less handicapped in talking
to northern audiences on this subject. In
northern cities where he was to speak,
the committee invariably came to him in
advance and asked him what he was go
ing to talk about. When he replied lie
would give them his views on the great
issue of the day, the tariff, he was eau
toned not to say anything about free
trade,
He says Democracy will never succeed
until its leaders follow the example OF
Cleveland, and come out boldly and state
the position OF their party on this ques-
ton. Intelligent people Of this roun-
try do not want any beating about the
bush.
Mr.. Mills thinks the race question will
soon settle itself. He observed while in
the north that the number of colored peo-
pie in that section is rapidly increasing,
and in the course Of the next quarter OF
century he expects the south to getfid OF
a large proportion of its coored popula-
ton. 1t is slowly but surely leaving the
sonth and finding its way into northern
a1d western states, so that within the next
twenty-five years there may be different
feeling in the north so far as the color
question is concerned. He was astonished
to learn that there are something like
100000 colored voters in the state OF Penn
,ylyania.

SHOT BY BOB FORD.
a Gambler Named Curry Shot at Wal.
senburg-ThFee Bullets, and
Each Hit.

fray occurred Yesterday in the saloon ans
dance hall OF Kerr d Ford, in WhicI
Ernest Curry WIS shot by Bob Ford, one
OF the proprietors, aud the man who sIlo
Jesse James.
Curry is u gambler and has been @
monte dealer in Ford's establishment
For Il day or two he has been drunk and
abusive, and last night when he came
into the saloon Ford ordered him out.
He refused to 90 sanl drawing revolver
fired at F0:l. TttG bullet knocked one
OF the ornaments oil OF the bar.
Ford quickly fired three shots, each of
which struck Curry. One went into and
nearly through his neck, passing between
the jngnlar vein and the wind pipe, and
is still there. Another took effect in the
left arm below the shoulder. BY this
time Curry had partly turned round, and
the third shot struck him under the
blade.
Curry is sill alive, and what the result
will be is not certain, but his condition is
critical. Ford was arrested and had a
preliminary examination, in which he
was acquitted. Curry is from Dodge City.
He came here about two months ago,
since which lie has beaten Ford out OF
some money.
