Jail, Last Saturday he was arrested at

died Sunday night. The sheriff kindly
sent him under guard to be WI Ii his dead

is great as is his suffering, and yet his
-ase excites pity.
Hon. Donald W. Baiue, Of this city,
narrowly escaped a horrible death in
Greensboro on Mo day. June 23d. We
quote from the Greensboro Patriot as
follows: lie came in on the Cape Fear
ard Yadkin Valley train, and as the train
crossed South Elm street, running slowly,
he jumped from it. The corner of the
car struck him, knocking him under it.
His head struck a cross tie, cutting an
ugly cash in his face. Mr.. Drake, who
was standing by, caught him as he fell
under the car and saved him from being
| crushed to death. DIR. w. J.. Richal dson
was hastily summoned and dressed Mr..
Baine'S wounds, which are painful but
not serious. Mr.. Bain9 was on his way
to the bedside of a very sick brother at
Ge1manton, and was abe to continue his
journey"
Winston has just enjoyed a rare treat
in hear ng, at a "children's service" in
the Methods. Protes' at Church Of that
city, an address delivered by Miss Misao
Tsune Herati, a japanese young lady,
who is being educated in this country by
the Protestant Methodist Church, at their
| college in Westminster, Md. The Daily
makes this reference: "The address by
Miss Misao TSune Herati, Of Japan, was
appropriate to the occasion and attentive
ly listened to. She spoke Of the good
work which had been an was still be-
ing accomplished by American mission
aries in Japan; of the beautiful cities in
that country the various idols that were
wo~rshipped by those who have never yet
been taught t. know that there was q
God. She alluded to her early school
days when she was brought over to
Amer ca seven years ago, at which time
she first heard the name of Christ"
The following from the Statesville
landmark should prove a warning to all
persons not to plunge into w&ter these sui
try days while overheated: Saturday
afternoon last Eddie Miller, the l6-year-
old son Of Mr. Henry w. Miller, started
from town with for companions to Kest-
ler's mill, two miles to the south, to go in
bathing. 1t was a race to see which
could ge. there first, and they ran nearly
if not quite. all of the way. Arrived at
the pond they undressed hastily and
plunged into water a little over their
heads and as Eddie Miller struck the
water his ompanions saw a change come
over his countenance. He sank like lead
without a struggle, and as he rose, after
a lapse Of two or three minutes, Clarence
Steele. who had tried the water anC
come out, caught him and dragged hin
ashore. The youth took a ep or two
gasped once or twice, and died.
A correspondent of the Charlotte New
gives this fshy story: "Mr. W. R
Burwell and DR.. NJ. A. Bland were fishing
off the bridge across the inlet at thu
Hammocks yesterday for skipjacks. Mr.
Bsrwell had his ordinary 8-foot pole ant
silk line with a tempered steel hook
He had peer hauling up skipiacks at tn,
1ate of about 20 a minute when all a
once he had a bite that almost jerked hi
arm out of socket. He wrapped his leg
around a post and with both hands trie,
to keep the fish from getting away wit
his pole. The reel spun around so fas
that it smoked. DR.. Bland went to hi
assistance, and after a fight that laste'
for ten minut they landed a 25-poun'
sheephead, the biggest fish of the kin
that has ever been caught there wit
. hook and line. After this experience
is safe to say that NJ. Burwell will here
after have no use for Bryan's Folly, an,
Mr.. Bryan and Gnat Gray will have t
go it there alone in the future"
