THE McDOUGALD RESOLUTIONS.

The CHRONICLE expressed its
dissent to the resolutions adopted at
Red Springs that reflected upon
Judge MCIvER. We have not
shadow of doubt of McDoUGALD's
guilt and we believe the evidence
justified his conviction. We are
not surprised that the good people
of Robson are indignant that he
has escaped punishment, but this
indignation caused them to 90 too
far. The Carthage Blade says that
the jury at no time gave any init
nation that they could not agree.
AS to the charge that he failed to
order a special venire, this is never
done except when there is reason to
suspect the integrity of the sheriff
or some of his deputies. The sheriff
of Cumberland is an honorable GEN
tleman and d.no suspicion of unfair
ness rested upon him before the trial
or rests on him now.
The CHRONICLE is certain that
the good citizens who adopted reso-
lutlons rejecting on Judge McIvER
will regret their action. now
that 1t is shown they acted upon in
correct information. They are
honest and honorable men and they
will make reparation for whatever
prejudice their arraignment of the
Judge may have produced.

The State Of Tennessee has been
compelled to borrow $2OO,OOOfrom
the Commercial bank. This is the
outcome of the strike of the miners,
and the troubles which have pre-
vented the convicts from working.
The company which contracted for
the labor of the miners refused to
pay the amount agreed upon, on the
ground that the convicts had not
performed the service for which
they agreed to pay. This makes a
deficit in the State Treasury, and
made the loan necessary.

WEDNESDAY, Dec. %, 1891

REV. r. G. BEAMAN's first SER
mon in Durham was on the conduct
OF ministers and how they should
deport themselves. They cannot be
too discreet and careful for they are
the personal exponents and teachers
Of Christianity. Their bad conduct
makes the way ofthe gospel to mems
hearts more difficult.

IHE farmers of North Carolina
purchased one hundred and twentv-
five thousand tons Of commercial
fertilizers this year. At twenty dol
lars a ton, this amounted to two mil
lion and five hundred thousand dol
lars. Much of this money might
have been saved by the use of more
cotton seed, stable manure, and
other home fertilizers. This is the
time of year for farmers to plan for
making a big crop next year at as
little expense as possible.

quency was undergone by Mrs J. II.

of nerve which had been cut out in an
operation for the removal of a tuner.
The dogs nerve was incased in a sheath
of discalcifed chicken bone. The sheath
will be absorbed, and meanwhile it is
hoped that the two ends of the human
erve will send out flaments oper this
bridge and finally join together again.
The success of the operation is expected

A TERRIFIC RIDE.
The PerilOus Experience of a Careless Pos
tai Clerk in a Tunnel.

He had car to himself, and at one sta
ton up in the Allegheny mountains had
left his car for minute or two to run for
ward to the engine, which was taking
water. The water tank was directly west
of the great tunnel, and when the tender
was filed and the train started the clerk
sprang to his car. The entrance to the
car was on the side and a solitary handle
was grasped, whereby the clerk pulled him
self up to the door.
To MS horror he found the door had
been Jared shut and could not be opened
from the outside, and the second he dis
covered this fact the train shot into the
tunnel With the desperation born of a
terrible death staring him in the face the
clerk hammered and kicked at the door
and shrieked aloud for help, but the noise
of the train drowned his cries, and with
both hands grasping the handle, mis- feet
On the iron step and his body glued to
the side IF the car. for fear of being
dashed off By the jagged sides, he was
carried thrsugh the tunnel.
As the tunnel is mile long and the at
n-o~phere therein is almost sitting this
juckless mail clerk S experience can be bet
ter imagined than described. When the
Tram snoL lnGO Gay l1gnG again the engineer
looked back, as is the custom, to see if his
train was following all right, and discov-
cred the clerk in mis- narrowing position
Quickly stopping his engine, the engineer
ran back and with the assistance Of the
conductor helped the almost demented
nan to the ground, where he utterly col
lapsed, the strain upon his nerves being
too great.
For six months he was under a physi-
cian's care, and after he became a well
man again, said: Il thought that tunnel
was ten miles long, and my head, l i'm
agined was hollow, with the dense smoke
rushing In my mouth and nostriLs and
coming out at my ears like steampipes.
Whenever | think of that ride my brain
reels and feel myself crouching, as l did,
upon the outside of the car during that
horrible experience.
