a FieD dish Father

RALEIGH, n. g., Jun" 29.-Near
Lumberton, last evening, Frank G..
Mears. a white man, living near there.
compelled his six-year old son to walk
home. Being tired when he reached
there, the boy laid down on the steps
aud fell asleep. The father, finding
his wife III bed sick, picked up d piece
OF plank and attempted to kill her.
She fled, with her baby In her arms, but
the tiendish husband dealt the infant
two hard blows. He then beat the
other children most brutally, saying he
would kill all. He gave the boy aIeep
on the step fearful blow on the back
of his head, fracturing his skull.
The inhuman man removed his blood
stained garments, put on his best
clothes, and came to Lumberton. News
of the bloody tragedy was soon known.
The sheriff Immediately arrested Mears
and lodged him in Jail. The youngest
child will die. The others are uncon-
sclous. and will either die or he injured
TOR life. The oldest is nine years and
the Youngest only nine months. When
asked where his children were, Mears
said: "Hheit bodies are at my place,
out their souls are in heaven"

Keitt The Kicker.

NEWBERKY, July 4..-.There was a
big crowd here today. The county
convention refused to permit the forma-
non or new club by vote Of 81 to 81.
Resolutions endorsing the nomination of
Cleveland were enthusiastically adopted.
they were opposed by Delegate J. l..
heltt, the Democratic Senator from this
county, but he was in hopeless minor
lty, all by himself. When questioned he
said he would vote for Cleveland when
the election came if at that time he was
member of the Democratic party.
Alter the convention the Tillmanites
heid caucus and put out legislative
ticket and ticket for delegates to the
State convention. The legislative ticket
the same as at the former caucus.
,Only about 300 votes were represent.
ca. The convention has worked no
harm to the Sheppard and Orr ticket.
Everything was done in good humor
and without bad fceling.-State.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, July IA let
ter from LaSalle county, eighty miles
southwest Of San Antonio, gives pict-
ure Of the drought and desolation in
that section. In three years it has not
rained drop. The prairies, once car
peted with rich grasses, are as bare as a
billiard table. The streams have gone
dry. Ihere is no water anywhere.
The sun reflected from the white earth
makes the glare and heart almost un-
bearable. Deer, turkey and other
wild animals have LETT. Even the
familiar jack rabit has disappeared.
All cattle and sheep have been sold
and shipped into other States. The
citizens yesterday appealed to Governor
Hogg to furnish the many Mexicans,
many Of whom arc in a starving oondi
tion, transportation to the cotton dis-
tricts. where they may find v ork. An
earnest call for food has been issued.

A MOST LIBERAL OFFER.

II there is-one thing that we ap-
,preoiate moro than another, it is to
have an entire stranger throw for
tune in our way in such q manner as
has Mr.. H. Wagner, of 3o4 Morris
avenue, Elizabeth, New Jersey. The
gentleman evidently knows whom he
ican trust. Hence he writes US IN
perfect confidence. He may rest
assured that his confidence will no. be
betrayed. We will only publish his
letter, as copy OF the issue contain.
ing it may fall into the hands Of some
one who will greedily accept tho offer,
and the purpose sought by the phi an.
trophic gentleman will thus be
achieved. To be sure the authorities
may likewise see it, and thus be led to
hunt for Mr.. Wagner, TO endeavor to
persuade him to desist from his phil.
an.ropic work. This for the good OF
the community. as it is not best that
money should be made too easily.
But the gentleman is safe, even from
the police authorities, as II they were
Of much account, they would not ad.
NIT such productions to the mails.
In thanking MIR. Wagner for the
friendly intentions expressed in his
more than kind offer, we wish to con.
grstulste him on the perspicscity
which he diplsys in selecting con.
fidants at such long range, aud to
sincerely assure him that, in this case
his confidence has not been misplaced

guarantee you clear Geld to work in,
and IT I'm satisfied at personal inter-
view that you would make me . good
Agent, l may offer you moro liberal
inducements to take the State agency
and make you special rate for any
deal over $4,000.
II you have not the money to buy
my goods, l would consent to your
taking some confidential friend in
with you who has the necessary
amount, provided. Of course, he il
Trustworthy and could keep the secret.
You could both then come on together
and make the deal; however, you
would be very foolish to take any one
in with you If you co, ID raise enough
money yourself. You can make
money faster aud easier by dealing in
my goods than you ever dreamed Of
before in your life. You arc bound
to be successful, there can be no such
thing as fail.
An opportunity like this to make
an independent fortune in q short
time, and at comparatively small in
vestment. is we'll worth q favorable
consideration, and should not be re-
jected hastily from conscientious
scruples or otherwise. 1t was never
intended that one man should have
millions and another nothing; the
wealth and good things of this world
are too unevenly distributed; others
have suddenly grown rich around you;
perhaps right in your own neighbor>
hood some one person has risen
quickly into worldly possessions with.
out any apparent cause for his sudden
prosperity, and still no one would
imagine that he might have engaged
in a similar business to the one l am
speaking of to you at present.
And now, my friend, unless you
have money enough to live comfort
ably on for the rest OF your days, this
is just the business you want to take
hold Of, as the goods can be handled
with perfect safety and immense
profit to yourself, and enable you to
provide competency for your old
age and pass your remaining years in
ease and comfort.
No wrong in it, Uncle Sam has
millions of OUR money locked up 10
the Treasury, uselessly aud urjus.iy
so.
l know that you have some dis
lance to come, but considering the
ire mcndous profits and no risks whats
ever, it is we'll worth the slight incon-
venience of journey here, and as far
as expenses are concerned, will
make q liberal allowance to cover
them, and promise that If you do
not find my goods just as represented,
Or should you upon any reasonable
pretext decline to consummate a
trade, guarantee to refund to you
your entire expenses, from the time
you leave home till the time you re.
turn, and make a liberal allowance
