LAUGHING AT LOOK-sMITHs.
Two Romantic North Carolina Mar,

Two Romantic North Carolina MARI
ages
A romantic e!"pemebt took place
at the Greensboro, N. c., Female Col
lege a few days ago. Ed Heiliy. of
Mt. Pleasant, N. c.. was snitor for
the hand of Miss Matte Kinnlv, of
the same place. Objections seemed
to have been interposefl by the young
lady's parents who dispatched their
daughter off to a boarding school,
hoping to break off the attachment.
Heilig went to Greensboro, procured
ladder, mounted tn his loves VIM
dow, and in the darkness of night,
carried her off ond took her to Sails
bury, where they were married. The
last legisture of this State granted this
institution special police powers for
the prevention of such disturbances.
and making it misdemeanor to enter
the grounds for the purpose of inter
feripg with or inducing any student
to violate the rules of the institution.
AS this is the first violation since this
enactment, it is thought that suit will
be instituted against young He;lig.

A romantic marriage occurred in
Jof nst' m county a few days ago.
Thursday night previous, Mr.. Nathan
Driver appeared at the residence, or
rather on the outer fence of the ward
which surrounded the residence of Mr..
Mack Smith, with the intention of
stealing his daughter. The old folks
got hold of the secret and met their
prospective son in law in person, and
a little fracas took place followed by
the flight of Mr.. Driver. A warrant
was issued for Mr.. D. at the instigation
of Mr.. Smith, and the trial set for the
following Saturday morning at the
Township shelter. Saturday morning
the parties appeared. Two of the wit
nesses for the defendants, the Misses
Smith, being absent, the court ordered
the constable to go after them Mr..
Driver was deputized to accompany
the constable. On their return the
party halted in front of the residence
of Mr.. j. M. Martin, short distance
from the shelter, and while standing
in the buggy, dozen or more gentle
men holding the horse and same num-
Der clinging to the buggy, Mr.. Nathan
Driver and Miss Anna Smith were
united in the holy bonds of wedlock
by Rev. F. T. Booker, J. P, the cere-
mony being witnessed by about 200
spectators. The party then proceeded
to the shelter, and the trial proceeded
which resulted in verdict against
tho prnsocntors

and in the shape of an alligator. 1t

Foust, of Brick Church neighborhood
The cotton factory is believed to be
an assured fact. A meeting was held
Monday night in the courthouse, and
it was decided to raise committee to
draw up bylaws and letters of inoor
poration and report to a meeting to be
held in the court house the second
Monday night i'll September.
A small number of delegates from
differ ent tobacco markets met here
Tuesday in the rooms of the Chamber
of Commerce. Owing to misunder-
standing about the place of meeting
the attendance was small. The few
made up in earnestness and enthusi-
asm what they lacked in numbers. j.
L. King, of Greensboro, was elected
president, and G. E. Webb, Of Win
ston secretary. The excursion to
Mo-ehead was abandoned on account
of the weather; but the next session
will be held at that place.

ard of Menlo Park, just before he
sailed for Paris few days ago.
Speaking Of his seemingly never ceas-
ing Investigations he said: "When |

covery l keep at it night and day,
sleeping but few hours on lounge,
with my clothing on. | have gone for
weeks at time with but three and
four hours sleep each day. If were

feeling out of shape and with all de-
sire lost for continuing my labors. My
train of thought would be lost. |
have got complete little den where
I work, which | have christened No.

as it takes in about half of one floor
and is supplied with every known in
vention in the line of electricity l
enjoy life there more than anywhere
else, and am never easy until | get
back, and | am surrounded by as fine
lot of men as any one could wish TO
be associated with. The greatest
source Of enjoyment to me is. when |
have hit upon new idea, TO call III
some of the fellows and give them
surprise [ remember well when |
had about perfected the phonograph.
| had the instrument placed near the
table in my den While was absent
at dinner two or three of the men be
came engaged in conversation near
the door. One fellow complained Of
the trouble he had had in his family,
of how he had lost two children, and
the difficulty he had in getting along.
The phonograph received the conver
sation, the melancholy statements of
the man and the comments of the
others, and when | returned and turn
ed the crank the whole thing was re
peated, | summoned the sad work
man to my den and told him to take
chair | touched the crank and out
rolled the whole talk. You never
saw a more surprised man in all your
life He sat there looking at me ap-
parently thrilled with wonderment-
| extenued my sympathy and aid OF
| course, but his trouble was lost III his
! surprise.
II remember we'll when We began
to work ON the incandesceut light
About fifty men remained up all night
with me, and, to keep us awake, |
hired German band to play lively
airs. About midnight we had our
lunch served The novelty of the
work and the idea of a band playing
in the laboratory kept the men awake
until about l o'clock, when under
various pretexts, they would go TO
some other parts of the building. In
variably they found some hi,ing place
where they could sleep. | had sew
eral skirmishers looking up the drowsy
cnes, and they were all brought back
to thei, tables aud forced TO keep
awake. after that they worked all
