EIGHT MYSTERIOUS MURDERS.
A Place in North Carolina Fruitful of As
sassination.

A Place in North Carolina Fruitful Of As
sassination.
CHARLOTTE, N. c., Oct. 24.-At point
three miles south Of Reidsville, known as
Mizpah Switch, eight murders have been
committed in the last few months, and all
of the efforts to capture the murderers have
proved futile. A few weeks ago detectives
from Richmond were sent to the neighbor-
they returned completely bafied, and even
while they were in the vicinity two men fell
victims to the assassiuB. @
Recently, Peter Witcher was going home
on the railroad track, accompanied
by his son. Whom they reached the
Switch, two masked men, armed
with pistols and knives, came out
of the woods on the left of the railroad.
and asked if they had any money. They
both replied that they had none. The old
man was knocked down with q club. The
boy escaped and ran to his home, which
was mile and q half away, and told his
brothers what had happened to their
to whore the two men were last seen. On
the railroad lay the mangled body. of their
father. While the son was gone to give the
alarm freight train passed over the body,
but not until after the throat had been cut
in several places.
Soon afterward Sydney Lees body was
found near the track. Jonathan Robbins,
jim Scales, Joe Turner, Sam Huston and
Rufus Martin have all shared the same fate,
and yesterday an unknown mans body was
found near the switch. The negroes say
that they cannot live in the neighborhood,
az the place is infested with demons.
Plnkerton men have been to the place. and
the Richmond and Danville authorities
have sent expert men to the vicinity, but
their work has proven futile.
A short time ago switch at this place
Was turned and freight train was COM
pletely wrecked. one man being killed md
several wounded. This brought more de-
tectives but they left without solving the
mystery.

other farmer. There are many elements
that enter into the cost of farm products
and possibly all of them vary in every in
dividual instance. One man cuitivates
much more intelligently and economically
than another One mans methods, ma
nures, stock, food and help come to him
much more cheaply than another's. One
man S farm may be much better adapted to
certain crops than that of another. The
seasons upon two farms are not expected
to be uniform in their benefits. however
nearly adjacent the farms, as they do not
always find the same crops in the same
condition. For these reasons. together
with many others, it is plain to be seen
that each farmer must determine for him
self the cost of his products What we
greatly need upon our farms is sthe same
business methods that are used in every
other enterprise system as will let
US know, all the time, what We are doing
and what we ought to do land ought not
to do Anything short of this brings US
to haphaGard life that takes its chances

around the world without ice or arsenical
fluids These two bodies which lie in
modest state In this house have turned
parchment color with the hurrying of
time, and the eyes have become much
sunken There is no odor, no putting up
of flesh The ghastly look is wanting, and
one almost feels that it is not the solidfied
clay of some loved one. but a wonderful
likeness carved by divine soul ptor from
some rare wood. Think of sleeping with
these dead and petrifed bodies!
But this is not all that the old wonder
worker of the mountains does. He can
stop decay at any point, and cures ulcers
of long standing by an external applica-
ton of this discovery. By the same pro-
cess he keeps fresh, without ice, salt or
brine, all his meet, butter and eggs, and
does the same for his neighbors. Fruit
Of all sorts, vegetables, ETC., are kept just
as easily without decay, and watermelons,
Strawberries and peaches and cream are
now assured for the Christmas dinner.
Mr. Hamrick has made little or no effort
to put his process, which such learned
men as Drs. Cilley, Freeman, White, Dor
emus and Hordesley pronounce one of the
greatest discoveries of the age, far ahead of
what the Egyptians knew. Indeed, Ham
rick seems to regard it rather as a curious
experiment than otherwise.

4 letter from Philippi. w.

A letter from Philippi, w. Va, says
Three miles over the mountains is the
house of G. w. Hamrick 1t is five
room log house, the exterior weather
boarded but not painted. The front win
dows face a narrow valley that is bounded
by hills so high they shut out the sun after
4 o'clock. There is nothing about the
house and it unpretentious yard to attract
more than passing glance for any one
who may chance to travel the unfrequented
country road that winds its way lonesome
ly into the hills beyond, yet it is full Of
curiosities that have puzzled the notions
and set some of the brightest minds in the
country thinking.
The plain old house is full of mummies.
both of brutes and human beings. Here
are mummies that outrival any Egypt
ever knew. The Egyptian embalmers re-
moved brains and blood and viscera, and
wrapped the clay shell that was left in
bandaging. saturated in oils and oint
ment. In this house lie the bodies of two
adults. natural almost as In life. every par
ticle of the skin exposed to the air, blood.
brains and viscera remaining. In the
veins and arteries the blue and black blood
stands out as clear and natural as when
these people lived and walked and knew
the passions and emotions of beings.
The finger and toe nails show the pink
flesh of life. and on the cheek of one who
died of consumption, the scarlet mark of
that disease remained clear and distinct.
For two years exposed to the air. without
decay or odor, these bodies have lain in
this mans house just above his bedroom.
His process is discovery of his own, but
it is SO simple, he says, that boy of
fifteen after a single lesson, can do the
work as efectually as the inventor him
self. The rooms of Mr.. Hamrick are
miniature museums. In the door that
leads to his bedroom huge white cat
sits guard, its tongue, undecayed, Tolls
out as if it were about to lap milk. For
four years that cat has been the sole guard
of that lonesome door. On a mantel
and in the attitude of listening, is young
deer.
Rabbits, pigs, squirrels, chickens and
even a calf are to be seen. all as natural as
/ IN life and all preserved by this wonderful
secret. Mr.. Hamrick claims that in ar
hour he can prepare Il body without max.
ing an incision of any sort or removing
any part of it, so that it may be takeI
