THE state senate did a very mean
thing when it rejected the improved
mechanics lien law that had passed
the house by good majority. 1t is
not at all creditable to that body that
measures IN the interests of the people
encounter in it such determined oppo-
sition.

AMERICUs, Feb. 23.-The school en-
tertainment at the NJ. E. church last
night was well attended, despite the
cold and threatening weather. At the
low price of ten and fifteen cents the
neat sum of thirty dollars was realized
which will go toward the purchase of an
organ for the use of the school. The
programme was rendered without a
hitch and this morning we hear only
words of praise by those who were pres
emit.
The weather is little severe this
morning variously reported at from six
to ten degrees below zero.

JIG. Hornberger has received letter
from the chief of police of the city of
Topeka, in regard to little Johnny
Bethurem, mentioned in the NEWS
Saturday, and interested himself
to get the status of the boys case as
far as he could by an examination of
the probate court records. He found
that upon the death of VIM. Bethurem,
the BOYS father. Harvey Fowler was
appointed guardian of the boy. Mr..
Fowler, who called at the Office in the
afternoon, said he had been appointed
guardian and had some moLey in his
possession belonging to the boy-that
the boy ran away some time ago and
he had been unable to learn his where
abouts until he saw the notice of him
in the papers. 1t was Mr.. Fowl
er's intention, under the direction of
the probate court, to go to Topeka after
the boy and bring him back to his
home, near this city. We are satisfied
that Mr.. Fowler will do all he can as
guardian to promote the interest and
welfare of the boy with respect to the
pension and all other matters.

Between eleven and twelve years
ago mans body. terribly mangled,
was found on the railroad track out by
the Moon creek bridge. and upon inves-
tigation certain marks upon the body |
showed that he had evidently been /
murdered and placed upon the track. |
He Is supposed to have been buried |
there and the railroad bridge was built |
upon his grave, but from reliable men
who have been in the employ of the |
company for years, and who are solid
and sensible, it is learned that an ap-
partition much resembling the dead
man, comes upon the track and waves

| night to trains passing this bridge.
Between 10 and II o'clock at night,
February 2lst, this year, while engine
59S, pulling west-bound freight, En-
gineer George Strunk, one of the oldest
men on the road, and as everyone
knows honest and reliable,
with Harry Bayard, former
conductor firing, when nearing the
bridge had their attention called to
this strange, white figure frantically

were put on the engine reversed, and
the train came TO stand still. The
two men went forward to see who, Oh
what it was that frightened the traiI
men, but could see nothing. Engineer
Strunk, when questioned as to his op
inion of the appearance of the spool
said that he could not say that he saw
, anything, but that his train men sale
: they did. Said he, 81 do not say it wal

fireman stepped down from his sea
and said, my brother would swear or

that great number of engineers ant
fremen had seen it. One man,

Too many good men have seen tn
sight for it to be mythical. This fgur

your readers a brief account OF what
the South Washington Alliance, in
Fender, is doing. They had a grand
picnic on the 25th inst. at Willard,
and it was my good fortune to spend
the previous night with their Presi.
dent, DR.. K. J. Powers and his inter.
esting family. He is a model Presi.
dent, and if all the Sub-Alli4pce in
the country were differed BY men of
his Judgment, energy and determine
ton, the day of our deliverance would
be nearer than it seems to be. They
have an Alliance store and a cotton
gin in Willard with advantages to
the members which I am sorry | can.
not publish. 1t would surprise and
crafty any member of our order if
he would go to Willard and hear
what DR.. Powers can tell him, and |
would advise all who are in easy reach
Of the place to make the trip.
The picnic was a grand affair, but
[ need not go into particulars; the
regular newspaper correspondents
have no doubt relieved me of this.
Representatives from sixteen Sub.
Alliances in Fender, Duplin and

day; and ! have no doubt that much
good was accomplished.
