A HeinOus Crime Near Salisbury.

Salisbury Herald.
News received here yester-
day of a negro man commit
ting an outrage on the per-
son of Mrs. Lewis Klutz, a
white lady, living one and a
half miles south OF Faith =.
O., this county, about 8 o
clock Saturday evening. Mrs.
klntz was returningfrOm the
spring near her nome with IA
pail of water when she was
assaulted by the negro. He
brandished n large knife, say
ing he would kill her if she
made any noise. After ac-
complishing his heIlish pur-
pose he took her ear rings
and the rings off her fingers
and fled. She was found by
her husband a short time al
terwards in an unconscious
condition. The news was soon
spread over the country and
a posse of men started in pur
suit of the villain. All day
yesterday the woods in the
neighborhood were 'scollre1'
by dozens of armed men look
ing for him. Last nightmen
were stationed at the ,vari-
Gus surrounding houses ly--
ing in wait to catch him, but
up to 10 O'clock to-day he
had NJ t been seen. The ppo-
pie are highly indignant aud
if caught he will probably be
suspended to a limb, The ne
gro's name is unknown but
Mrs. Klutz says she can iden-
tify him.

After looking over the cal
ander and seeing that all the
appropriation bills, except

that as nearly all Of them

might be a good scheme to
give the Senate a chance to
catch up. So the House adj

WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular Correspondent

w WnlColuW nelu LII Il w
forced off the republican tick
ct in a few days" Such were
the startling words OF a big
republican who was Il promi-
nent Harrison worker at the
Minneapolis convention. The
Harrison people are Just be-
ginning to realize how great
a blunder Reid's nomination
was, and they also have a
strong suspicion that they
are the victims of d put up
Job, that the anti-Harrison
men, who it will be remem-
bered controlled t h e New
York delegation, prepared
the whole scheme in advance
so as to make Harrison's de-
feat certain before the peO-
pie, if they failed to accom-
plish it before the conven-
ton. Ii proof of this they
point to the fact that a com
mittee from the New York
Typographical union was in
Minneapolis to vouch for
Reid's having turn n e d his
newspaper office over to un-
ion men-a statement, by the
way, that was misleading,
inasmuch as no change had
at that time been either made
or fully agreed upon. Now,
| it costs money to send a
committee from New York to
Minneapolis, and the Harri-
son folks want to know who
sent those printers and who
paid their bills out there, and
if the Reid business was not
prepared in advance, why
they were sent there at all.
These awkward questions to
answer.
1t was to talk about this,
as much as about the Cabi.
net and other vacancies, that
Chauncey Depew sent for,
1t was not believed that he
knew anything about the in.
sid e working. of the Reid
scheme, itbeing thoughtthat
he was imposed on at the
time; but his knowledge ol
New York politics is relied
upon to aid in getting to the
bottom of the matter, Re
ports have already come ir
from allsections, stating that
members, of labor. organiza'
tions will not support any
ticket with Whitelaw Reid's
name on it; they refuse tc
vote for a man who for fiji
teen years has been one o
the most persistant and pow
erful enemies Of organized la
.|bor in rhiscountry. Friends
/ 1of General Grant have also
been n,imerously heard from
they, too, refuse to supporv
the ticket il Reid remains up
on it. a
These things have alarmed
]Mr. Harrison and his mana
gers, and they have started
d movement to get rid 0
Reid. They hope to maxi
i the pressure SO strong upol
Thin that instead Of writing
the usual letter ofacceptane'

week, Rev. F. 5. Blair, of Gull.
ford College. N. e., gave =
very interesting talk on Sun
day Schools and the work of
the North Carolina s. S. AS
sociation, OF which organiza-
tion he is field visitor. Mr..
Blair visited Watauga for
the purpose of reorganizing
the county associa ton. Al
ter the talk, several interest
ed parties remained and held
a conference with Mr.. Blair
about organizing the work
in the county. Owing to
there being to no notice Civ
el there Was no one present
from the country. Mr.. Blair
insisted on a program and q
convention to be held as ear
ly as convenient, at which
time the selection of officers
should take place and the
organization more perma-
n1nt
The following program was
arranged without the con-
sent OF the greater part OF
the speakers, with the hope
that they will lend their aid
to make the convention &.
success. -
A few years ago, a similar
organization was made at
this place, but no convention
was held, ard all the officers
except the secretary, Mr.. M.
B. Blackburn, have left the
county. Mr.. Blackburn was
asked to discharge whatever
duties might fall upon that
officer until the convention.
The object OF the associa-
ton is for the advancement
of the cause OF the Sunday
Schools throughout the land.
1t is non-sectarian, having

convention is held annually

by the first of next week.
Mr.. Durburrow has introduced
a resolution on the subject in the
house. An effort will first be made to
take Nd an act on this resolution,
instead of meeting the fight by
way of an amendment to the general ap-
propriation bill. The whole subject has
been thoroughly discussed so that mem
bers know the merits of the question, and
unless an effort be made to delay a vote,
it ought to take very little time for the
expression of the will of the house to be
made known. If Obstructive tactics
should prevail the appropriation bill will
still be available as a means for forcing
the matter TO a decisive vote.
Information was received here to-day
of the death Of Hon. George H. Harring-

4 Joker Among Birds.

The bluejay is the most persistent
practical joker III the feathered king
dom. He will conceal himself ii a
clu1np Of leaves near the spot where
small birds are accustomed to gather,
and when they are enjoying themselves
in their own fashion will suddenly
frisliten them almost to death by
screaming ont like a hawk. OF course
they scatter i'll every direction, and when
they do so the miscellaneous rascal gives
vent to a cackle that sounds very much
like a laugh. If he confined his pranks
to such jokes as this, however, he would
not be such a bad neighbor to birds
smaller than himself, but when he
amuses himself by breaking the eggs i'll
thei; nests and tearing the young to
pieces with his bin he becomes a pesti-
lent nuisance, and they often combine
their forces to drive him out of the
neighborhood. They do not always
succeed. for he is as full of fight as OF
mischief, but 1t severe conflict teaches
him that they, too, have their rights, and
this induces kim TO mend his manners

THE KELLEY INSTITUTE
Twelve Years of Established Merit
NOTE OF WARNINCI
TO THE PUBLIC:

TO THE
DWIGHT, ILL.,, April 80, 1892.
As a matter of justice to ourselves and To
the reputation of DR.. Leslie F.. Keelev's
Double Chloride of Gold remedies, for the
cure of the liquor, opium, morphine and
tobacco diseases and Neurasthenia, We warn
the public that these remedies are used bv
no institution or sanitarium in the United
States except those established by on CON-
pany under the uniform name of The
Kelley Institute"
All others claiming to use our remedies
are frauds and imposters.
We have now sixty Kelley Institutes e.
tablished in various parts Of the United
States where the Kelley treatment is ad.
ministered and the Kelley remedies sold.
We, however, caution all to examine well
and know that they are dealing with genuine
representatives, authorized by us, before
taking the treatment or purchasing remedies.
The fraudulent establishments use the name
of "Bi-Chloride of Cold or similar titles.
The newspaper do not discriminate sufi-
GENTLY to know that they are imitatorS, and
so put down all accidents occurring at such
establishments as being brought about by
the Kelley treatment. This is a matter Of
much concern to us, hence this warning.
Respectfully yours,
THE LESLIE +. KELLEY CO.
Curtis J. Judd, Sec'y and Treas.
The Kelley institute at Greensboro, \. G.,
is the only one in the state, and all repre-
sensations that there is in the state any cure
that is identical with, or the same as, the
Kelley Double Chloride Of Gold Cure are
malicious, false, and made for the purpose OF
deceiving. We learn with indignant regret
that such claim is being made, and feeling
that if it be hurtful to us it will prove more
disastrous to those who are deceived thereby,
we sound this warming.

WHAT TO GIVE.
A Tine-hOnored Custom Which People
Generally VIII Observe.

Generally VIII Observe.
Almost every man i. asking the ques-
ton: What can I buy for a suitable
Christmas present." Some men think
the custom of dispensing Christmas pres
ents ought to be frowned down; that it
forces them to make expenditures they
can i'll afford; that the giving of gifts is
not a pleasure but is suggested by a sense
of duty. The great mass of men, how
ever, remembering the days of their child
hood, look to the Christmas season with
JOYOUS anticipation. They are anxious
10 purchase suitable gifts, but they do not
know what to buy. Right here is where
the advertiser shows his foresight. He
advertises his goods, showing the pro-
spective purchaser what to buy and where
TO buy it. There are many merchants In
Durham whose Christmas trade amounts
to a considerable part of the years gross
receipts. These are the merchants who
advertise in THE GLOBE, which has cir
culation larger than the combined lists OF
all other papers printed in Durham, and
which prints the news when news is
news. The live ones are in our Christ
