BE Got Their Password.

N. Y. Herald: This happened in a
tile town in Southern Illinois not many
days ago. 1t is in section where the
Farmers Alliance is strong, and lodge
OF that organization exists in the town.
They meet Monday nights.
There is only one lodge room in tho
town, and on Tuesday nights it Is occu-
pied by the local branch of the knights
of Pythias.
The President OF one OF the country
sub-Alliances came to tow one Tuesday
He had visited the town Alliance before,
and when he saw lights in the lodge
room concluded he would go over and
condole with the brethren over the de-
feat of Buchanan.
He gave the proper knock at the outer
door. The wicket WAS raised and an car
was placed at it to hear the password. '
Il plow, hoe, spade" whispered
the Alliance man.
The ear was replaced by an eye, and
it in turn gave plare to mouth, which
whispered in reply:
THE h-ll you do" and the wicket
dropped with bang.
The indignant farmer shortly afterward
met brother" to whom he told his
tale of woe.
"Why, dad blame it," was the sharp
comment of the brother, ''them q
Knights of Pythias, and you've given
EN- our password"
"Doqged if amt" Was the response,
but (brighthening up) durn 'em, I've
got theirs"

From this weeks Murphy Scout the
following items interesting to Ashe
Williams are taken:
J. d. prevard, esq, of Asheville, was
with us last week inspecting a nice farm
in the beautiful valley ofPeachtree. Mr..
Brevard is well up on modern farming
and we hope he will invest, for we want
our people to get out of the old ruts of
hog and hominy and try clover, grass
and beefsteak.
Mr.. George Vanderbilt's agent, Mr..
Frank Boynton, who was stopping in
Murphy last week, was sent here to col
lect some specimens of our timberS. He
wants some sections of trees four feet in
length. Our State should thank Mr..
Vanderbilt for the interest he is taking in
our forestry exhibit for the COlumh han
Fair.
Col. A. T. Davidson of Asheville, has
been in town the past week on business.
He is welcome guest in every house Oi
the old resident citizens; his presence
b, ings sunshine in every household and
If he was to spend a month among us

days of yore and he bids fair to live fol

Children Take Part


Children Take Part.
The exercises incident to the observ-
ance of Washngton's birthday and the
celebration of the second anniversary of
the Junior Order United American Me
chanics, in the Grand opera house yes
terday afternoon, were largely attended
and very interesting. Superintendent P.
P. Claxton, of the city schools. together
with several teachers and a number of
school children were present.
On the stage sat Revs. McNeely Du-
Bose, H. F. Chreitzherg. ]. L. White and
r. F. Campbell, Prof. Claxton, ]. X.
Starnes, ]. D. Murphy, ESQ.,, George H.
Burnham, S. S. Pope, r. L. Fitzpatrick
| and F. l.. Shuford. while the Juniors &C.
cupied the dress circle on the east side of
the house,
Jesse X. Starnes presided over the
gathering. which was first led in prayer
by Rey. r. F. Campbell. Mr.. Starnes
then made short talk, thanking the
friends for attending and especially the
school children In speaking of the pub
| lie schools he said: 'The order favors
the public schools, for these schools pre-
pare our girls and boys for the high
schools, the colleges and the cemeteries"
Mr.. Starnes recognized his mistake Mt
| once and corrected it, but the crowd had
to indulge in quiet laugh.
Revs. Messrs. Campbell, DuBose and
| Chreitzberg followed in order named. in
brief talks on the good work to be done
| by the Juniors and the praiseworthiness
of the order. Mr.. Chretzberg said he
| knew not whether the order admit
| ted ministers, but if it did he could be
counted a candidate.
Rev. ]. l.. White talked from the text,
"The home" which he found in one OF
| the pamphlets of the order. He said the
tendency of things today was to disor-
ganize the home. The formation of gi-
| dence OF this. The owners of great fac
| tories now have matters SO calculated
that they know exactly what it costs
| for a family to live. and they will pay
them no more, the poor employees work
ing from essfly morn till after dark. Said
he, "the man who SO mercilessly grinds
the factory people is worse than a dog"
The reason Grover Cleveland was elected
last fall, he said, was that the people
wanted Justice to be done the home,
land" he continued, with Grov yer Cleve-
land as president and Walter Q. Gresham
in the chair of secretary of state, l feel
that justice will be done the home.'
| This was greeted with storms OF APP
plause.
Prof. Claxton was the next speaker,
and he touched at some length upon the
public schools, to the support of which
institutions every member of the Jr. o.
U. A. NJ. is pledged.
]. ID. Murphy was the last speaker on
the program. and for fifteen minutes
kept the audience laughing over his
anecdotes.
The exercises were interspersed with
singing by the school children, led by
Miss Maud Powell.

ordinate councils in Asheville. Its

ATTEMPTED ESCAPE.
a Prisoner Tries to Jump Out of
AGAR window.

q Car WINDOW.
Sheriff Brookshire returned Yesterday
afternoon from Salisbury, having in
charge Ben Barrett, colored, who is
wanted here for completely in the shoot
ing of Engineer Tyler here year and a
half ago.
When the westbound train had passed
Statesville Barrett asked the sheriff to
allow him to go to the closet. The re-
quest was granted, the sheriff accom-
panying the prisoner. When they had
closed the door the prisoner suddenly
sprang head foremost through the car
window, shattering the glass. The
plunge carried Barrett half way through
the window, and the sheriff grabbed one
OF the prisoners legs just IN time to pre-
vent his dropping to the ground. Barrett
struggled wildly. got one leg out and,
hanging head downward, caught the
bottom of the car and pulled with all
his might. AT this time T. H. Lindsey OF
Asheville, having heard the crash of glass
ran to the sheriff's assistance. He caught
Barrett's leg and was jerked against the
Jagged glass, by which one of the small
veins of his temple was severed. The
two held on until the train was stopped
and the prisoner taken back into the car
by the aid OF Capt. Underwood. Sheriff
Brookshire says he believes over a pint
OF blood came from Mr.. Lindsey's
wound; and the clothing of the sheriff
| and MIR. Lindsey was covered with
blood.
At the time Of the attempt to escape
the train was running at a speed of per.
haps 80 miles and Barrett would nc
doubt have been killed had he dropped
| out.
Barrett is in Jail, and will have a hear
| ing as soon as witnesses can be sum
| mored.
