From the Charlotte Chronicle

From the Charlotte Chronicle
Speculation in land is not as peace
full business as it is cracked up to
be, in some parts of the country, at
least.
The Morganton Land and Improve
ment company bought a tract of TO-
4SO acres, lying in Mcdowell, Mitch
ell and Yancey counties, North Caro-
lima A party of surveyors, headed
by Richard Williams, were sent to
survey the land. They stopped at a
house on Black mountain, near the
edge Of the tract of land they were
sent to survey. The first night they
we're served with notice that if they
didn't decamp before the next sun
rise the house in which they were
staying would be ridGled with bullets
Knowing what the warning meant,
the surveyors left those parts that
same night, walking fifteen miles
down the side of a mountain to get out
of the neighbnrhood.
The 7O,4S0 acres Of land is an old
grant made by the State to Bob Hen
~, and known as "the old Bob Henry
tract" A large number of people
have settled on it, and now resent any
intrusion, whether authorized by lew
or not.
This is not the first instance in
which surveyors have been chased
away from the land. About fifteen
years ago similar instance occurred
Those who have settled on the land
evidently think that possession is nine
tenths of the law, and that nine tenths
is majority any day.

PECULIAR TO OUR SOIL.

Troy comes to the front with a
monstrosity of nature in the shape of
kitten which can be seen any day at
the house Of Mr.. w. NJ. Atkins. 1t
has seven legs and eight feet, two ex-
ira hind legs with feet and claws, and
one extra fore leg which grows two
feet. The extra hind legs are joined
to the body Immediately between its
other hind legs, and the extra fore
legs. Its extra legs and feet are of no
benefit but to the contrary appear to
be and are in its way, preventing it
from moving as rapidly as other two
kittens that belong to the same mother
cat. 1t is, kitten like, playful and
friskey.
