A Desperate Killed.

George Hunt, notorious desperate of
this county, was arrested in Golden VAL
ley township, Rutherford county, We'd
nesday after bloody battle with the
posse that was after him. Hunt was
desperately wounded, being shot in sew
eral places, one thigh bone being shatter.
ed by rifle ball.
Hunt is wanted on number of grave
charges. About a year ago he was con-
victed in the superior court OF York
county, S. c.. OF q murderous assault and
sentenced to o year in the penitentiary,
but escaped from Jail by breaking out
through the roof. He went up into the
mountains of Rutherford county and
engaged in blockade stilling. He soon
became q terror to the law abiding people
around him, successfully eluding or inti-
midating parties sent to arrest him.
Some weeks ago he came back to his
old home in this county, and tried to
persuade his wife to follow him into the
mountains, and when she refused, took
forcible possession of their two children
and carried them out. At the last term
of Rutherford superior court, in April,
Judge Armfield issued writ of hd6eas
corpus for the children and bench war
rant for Hunt. The processes were
placed in the hands of determined officers,
who recovered the children, finding them
concealed in stump in the "Lane settle
ment," as noted in the Review at the
time, but Hunt soapd.
On Wednesday Deputy sherifs Getty,
Robertson and Jos. Hodge came up with
Hunt In Golden Valley township. When
summoned to surrender Hunt, who was
armed with rife and pistols, levelled
his rifle at the officers and fired, the Gall
narrowly missing Hodges head. The
officers returned the fire and Hunt fell,
desperately wounded.
He was then taken to Rutherford and
lodged in jail, W here he is rcoiving the
best medical attention. His condition is
critical and he will probably die.-

Who Will Beard the Lion l.?

COLUMBIA, May 30.-The eyes of the
public seem 10 be directed towards the
railroad corporations to see what they are
going to do about the dispensary law.
Nobody seems to know exactly what is
likely to be done, and that makes 1t all
the more interesting. The counsel for
the various corporations have not yet
come to any definite conclusions as to
what they will say when their profess
sional opinions are solicited. This morn
ing one of the leading railroad counsel in
the State said that the corporation he
represented had not yet asked his opin-
ion, but that he expected to be asked at
almost anv moment. For the present,
in consequence, he was only giving his
'curbstone'' opinion, and that was that
any public carrier that refused to accept
a shipment of liquor from any one out
side of the State and consigned to parties
in South Carolina would be liable for
damages, and that he would probably so
advise his company. He would also
advise, if asked, that accompany cannot
legally handle any goods from one place
to another within the borders of the State
when the original place of shipment was
not outside Of the State line. IT the
State would agree to stand all suits for
damages h0 supposed that the roads
would agree not to handle whiskey offer
cd by shippers outside of the State, but if
the State would not 60 that far, then it
appeared to him that the roads would
have to paddle their own canoe and look
after their own interest and give careful
consideration to the possibilities Of losses
by suits for damages. The indications,
however, are that every road wants the
other road to be the one to make the test
in the Courts. One thing seems to be
pretty well settled and it is that no one
wants to handle shipments within the
State. The general consensus of opinion,
however, is that the roads cannot refuse
q shipment offered outside of the State as
long as the State itself is engaged in the
liquor business.-Special to News and

A Crusade Against Candy.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., May 26.-Rev. M.
L. Gates, of Grace NJ. e. Church in this
city, has started crusade against candy
and has warned the parents of his con-
gregation against letting their children
eat it. lie says that the Prohibitionists
should inscribe on their banners and
pledges Abstinence from rum, tobacco,
and candy"
Thousands of little. children die an
nually of confectionery Diseases" says
DR.. Gates, sand I firmly believe that
when the parents of little children once
learn tho gigantic evils contained in con-
fectionery and the incurable harm it
entails and the many little graves dug
by it ard the multitude Of children it
renders weak and puny, they will
quickly enlist in the ranks against the
candy shop.
II firmly believe that next to the rum
shop the candy shop causes more deaths
than any other form Of dissipation. The
candy bnbit is a terrible one. Hundreds
of children are continually eating candy,
and it is matter of medical record that
it has caused thousands of deaths. The
consump ption Of too much sugar, either in
ordinary food or in confectionery, causes
fermentation of the blood, and that, as is
we'll known to medical men, brings on
diseases which are often incurable, Hun
dreds of children die of troubles attribut-
ed to soraething else, which are, in fact,
due to ahe consumption OF too much
sugar in confectionery"

GuytOn Slfings,

Not having much news for this week,
Messrs. Editors, we desire to make few
remarks in behalf Of the boy who lives
on the farm.
It is not infrequent to hear farmer
say II do wish my boys would be con-
tent to live on the farm. don't see why
they have such hankering for city life,
and are so dissatisfied on the farm, any
way" This and like statements are
made by farmers every day. The reason
to me is very apparent. The most of
them have no showing on the farm what
ever. If you ask farmer how much
money he gives his boys per year, nine
cases out of ten twenty-five dollars will
cover the amount named. With this
small allowance the boy has got to clothe
himself, and what boy is it that don't
like to have little spending money TO
call his own? There is going to be q
fishing party on Che creek or picnic on
the river, but the corn needs hoeing or
the cotton plowing, and, Of course, the
boy has to stay at home and do that,
however much be would like to 90 to the
picnic. On Sunday of course "the stock
is too tired from the previous weeks
work to be driven to church or Sunday
School; besides, it is only two or three
miles, and the boys can walk that dis
tance; walked four or five miles when
was boy" Should you stay and lis.
ten, he would 60 on making excuses and
suggestions by the dozen. If you ask
him about reading matter, he will tell
you they take the County paper, or prob
ably one of theSouthern weeklies, which
they will tell you is too much for the
boys to read they don't have time, and
besides, it might give them taste Of the
outside world, and have tendency to
make them dissatisfied with their sur
roundings. This being the case no Won
der by the time the boy is twenty-one he
is thoroughly disgusted with rural life,
and is ready to 60 anywhere or do any
thing to get away from the farm. They
don't stop to enquire the reason, but want
remedy, which is simply this: Give
the boys chance on the farm let him
bring money, to call his own learn him
the value OF it, and how to use 1t to the
best advantage. Give him plenty of good
literature, subscribe for one or two good
family magazines, throw in with this
some good religious reading matter, let
him keep up with the world and it's do
ings, give him some leisure time, and
teach him how to use it, don't encourage
idleness, and, my word for 1t, your boys
will be more than willing to stay on the
farm, unless they show great talent for
something else. This being the case,
don't try to step them, but on the other
hand, encourage them all you can in the
occupation which they feel is suited to
their tastes.
Our little city boasts a man with the
greatest presence of mind on record. He
tainted in the field the other day, and
was telling his friends about it later,
when one Of them asked him how long
he remained in this condition before re-
covering, replied that there was negro
boy present and he (the man who fainted)
told him to throw water in his face:
Ask Bud about it-he can tell you.
Plenty of rain, cherries and flies.

Governor Flower Talks of 100.

CHICAGO, juno Ex-Governor Flower
has been enlightening the Western poll
ticians on the relations of Mr.. Cleveland
with Tammany. He said:
ssLast fall Tammany Hall carried New
York State for Mr.. Cleveland. In the
preceding campaign the organization,
which represents $500 mmitteemen,
met ard cast a unanimous ballot for
David B. Hill to be the nominee for
President. Tammany Hall and nearly
all OF the workers for the Democratic
party in New York State did not think it
wise to nominate Mr.. Cleveland, but
after his nomination in Chicago last June
every man in Tammany's ranks gave
him his earnest support.
"I know of no true Democrat in the
State of New York who does not to-day
give the President his heartiest support.
II there is any dissatisfaction in the rank
and file of Tammany I cannot place it.
We are every one of US Cleveland men,
and shall be united in support OF him
until the end of his term, apd probably
after its expiration if he is again made
the leader Of his party in another cam
paign. 60,
sThere ia no reason why Mr.. Cleveland
should not be the nominee of the party in
1896. One Presidential term has inter-
vered between his administrations. It
would take another term before he had
served two consecutive terms. 1fin 1896
Mr.. Cleveland desires the nomination of
his party no man can successfully stand
in his way. At the present time | do not
know of any aspirants for Presidential
honors in the party. ."-NeU York World.
