THE THREE C.'S.
Everything Lovely and the Contractors
Pushing the Work

Mr.. Ben Hampton, contractor on the
Three C's, called to see us Tuesday and
reported that the entire grading between
Rutherfordton and Marion had been
completed. Messrs. Jackins & Crosby,
also Maj. Adams. had finished grading
and dressing their sections. Four and
one half miles of track We're laid and
surfaced. Delay in securing enough
laborers had retarded track laying, but
it is now thought that the remaining
twenty-one miles to Marion will be
finished by August lst, if the supply of
steel rails is not exhausted. At Ruther-
fordton there is enough iron to lay the
track twelve niles.-Shelby (N. c.
Aurora, I'd.
BIG PLAN FOR CONTRACTORS.
Mcdonald, Shea & Co., paid off the
contractors on the Three C's, Monday,
and the snug little sum of S27+,0Ot was
disbursed. johnson City merchants
came in for nice share of it. The ru-
mored trouble has all blown over and
work will proceed all along the line.
Long before Christmas 100 miles OF
road will be in operation from the
North Carolina line to Minneapolis,
Ea.-Johnson City (Tenn.l Comet.
THE AUGUSTA DIVISION.
UNION, S. c., July 14.-Work is pro-
crossing very rapidly on the Augusta
division of the Three C's railroad,
which is now being graded from Angus
Ia to Blacksburg, distance of fseventy-
five miles. 1t is thought the road will
open up a country that has long been
in the need Of such convenience.-Spe-
cial to Columbia Record.

the church was crowded. During the early
part OF the services-the psalter and re-
sponses-thev had maintained an attitude
Of rapt devotion, with profoundly solemn
faces and bowed heads. The Te Deum
was arranged to q long and unusually elab-
crate musical accompaniment, and these
ladies had remained seated. The lines,
.Let us never be confounded," were sung
with q flourish and an operatic staccato
which came to a sudden and pronounced

loud burst Of harmony which had precsded:
there was no gradual dying away, but q
quick, petrifying stop. And In the solemn
hush came the sound Of q small, shrill, but
painfully clear voice, and the words:

aroused the neighborhoot md men,
women, and children turned out in q
general search. The next day John
Peters, coat was found near the river
bank. Marks of a struggle were also
discovered. Immediately there arose
q cry that the man had been murdered;
and, about this time, there came along
. reputable citizen who declared that
he had, several days before, heard Sim
White and AL Miller swear that they
won& kill Peters. The two men were
arrested and taken before q Justice of
the Peace. They avowad their inno-
cence, and their lawyer declared that
they could not be held for murder I'M
til it was proved that a murder had
been committed. This proof was not
long wanting, for a fisherman soon ar-
rived with the information that he had
found the body of Peters. The body
was identified, and the preliminary
trial proceeded, resulting not only in
establishing the fact that White and
Miller swore that they would kill Pc
ters but that they were overheard to
declare that they would drown him.
They were held over and were indicted
by the Grand Jury.
When the case came up before Judge
Quirk of the Circuit Court some of the
ablest lawyers in the State we're in at
tendance, for White and Miller were
not friendless, and moreover they were
not without means.
After more than a week of sskirmish-
ing" q jury was impaneled. and then
the great trial was begun. The major
ity of tho people, including the press,
q four-column folio set in small plea
and printed in the back room of p. ID.
Whitson's crossroads store, believed
that . verdict of guilty would be rem
dered, and bets were made with persons
who believed that the prisoners were
guilty, but who thought that the jury
might be @Culvered."
The trial had not proceeded far when
II could be clearly seen that the Judge
was convinced that White and Miller
were guilty. This iurist was something
more than q peculiar old fellow. He
was . decided. character, and 20 set
