Sam Cowan's Sad Fate.

This community was thrown into high state of excitement last Frl- day morning by the announcement that Sam Cowan, day laborer, had been found dead at his humble home on River street the night before un- der circumstances that pointed un- mlstakably to foul play. Three fam lilies live within a stone's throw of the Cowan cottage and they were aroused about eight o'clock Thurs day night by screams from Mrs. Cowan. On entering the house Cow an was found lying across the bed, with his pants on, hls feet touch ing the floor, dead. He looked as if he had been sitting on the side of the bed and falling backward, ex. pired. Not even pillow was under his head. Mrs. Cowan stated that he had peen sick all day and in the afternoon had eaten some green ap ples and drank all the ice water he wanted. She said she knew he was very low and went after doctor, but the one she called on wouldn't go without pay in advance. It was proven that she did not speak to the physician at all. Her conflicting storles, and the further fact that fifteen chickens and two pigs accus- toned to running in the yard were found dead, presumably poisoned by the vomit of the sick man, red to suspiciong gofs the gravest character. Coroner D. R. Grant held an inquest and after hearing all the evidence the jury was of the opinion that Cow an came to his death by poison ad. ministered by hls wife or some other person, and rendered their verdict accordingly. Mrs. Cowan was there upon arrested and taken to jail. She soon fully realized her position and felt the necessity of revealing the plot Accordingly on Monday after noon she made a clean breast of it, confessing that her paramour, one M. s. Sweden, lumber man and a widower, gave her the money to pur- chase the medicine which he admin istered himself, causing her hus- bands death. She swore out war rant for his arrest and he was i'm mediately taken into custody.
 An examining trial will take place soon as the parties are ready.
 The Cowans had been married l3 years, 9 months and 26 days up to the time of his death. Their mar ried life has been marred by frequent seperation. The wife IS entirely de void of personal attraction and IS evidently weakly balanced mentally.
 The jury of inquest was composed of the following gentlemen;
 B. J. Strickland, T. H. Elgin, B. CowelI, J. E. Rushing, A. J. HoG man, w. L. Oates, J. T. Taylor, J. D. Humphreys, J. w. Rorex, J. T. Od om, H. D. Reddell, A. NJ. Johnson, J. F. Moody, J. s. Finley, H. F. Tate, H. Youngblood.
 Cowan's body was exhumed yes terday and the stomach taken from thence and sent to Fayetteville in care of Mir. Joe Rushing, where the chemist of the University will make an analysis of it to see if traces ol poison can be found.

BOII Worms.

In this issue will be found letter from MT. David Yancey of Texas in which he takes the position that lamp burning in cotton fields does not prevent the ravages of the boil worm and contends that the theory is al- together wrong This question, like every other, has two sides, both of which will have strong friends and advocates. Mir Yancey is well kuown to us and to many others in this county and we have no doubt about the honesty and sincerity of what he writes. There may be some here who will continue the use of lamps and experiment for themsel- yes. Others may want to try some thing else if the pest does not cease It's work. For this class we append the following from an exchange con corning an entirely different method
 The suggestion is made that the boil worm can be suppressed by spraying Paris green on the stalks using one pound of Paris green tc 100 gallons of water. Machines fol spraying will cost about SIP. Flour small quantity, added to the watel will make the poison stick to tho leaves better. Another writer says Take two small osnaburg bags containing two or three pounds ol ParIs green, tie to each end of q pole 8 feet long. Throw it across 1, mule and trot the animal briskly down cotton row; the jolting vii scatter the poison over 4 rows or each side of the mule. There II no danger to the man or beast, ai they keep ahead of the cloud.

All Honor to HemphiIl.

The following are few choice extracts from the celebrated speech of Representative Hemphill of South Carolina in opposition to the Fed eral election bill:
 What was the use of talking about free ballot in Kansas, when the Stata had been so gerrymandered that the 147, ,000 democrats of Kansas had never been represented on the floor?
 The right to cast vote and to have it counted was mere delusion and a fraund unless the laws of the country were so framed that the vote should amount to something.
 We know we must either rule thls country or leave it. Now for my self, before the people of tue United States and before God, in all rcver- ence, swear we will not leave it. I Applause
 When the Republicans of the North had taken the beam out of their own eyes and fixed the laws so that the peoples wish might be hon estly expressed, when they acted as they preached, the Southern Demo crats would receive them with open arms, and If they did not take their advice, would suggest something better which would be agreed to-. Under this system, winch it was pro- posed to revive, the people of the South had been robbed some years ago by the picked williams of the North, backed up by the bayonets of the United States army. The South did not want to be put in that posi- tion again.

 THE EYEs. There are three defects of the eyes, namely: Hypermetropia.
