Where Was He Brought Un2

Who says there is no American Ian guage? Harper's Magazine gives the following story as evidence that in some portions of our land a tongue is spoken that is distinctively our own. Prof. F., of Harvard, tells the tale. He was at picnic, and after the affair was well under way a carpenter, a sturdy New Englander, appeared on the scene with several blanks, out of which he proceeded to construct the dinner-tables. Noting the thickness Of the blanks, the professor chaffingly in- quired why it was necessary to use such heavy timber. Why" returned the carpenter. "Why, in order that not when dinners half eat tables might squash and victuals leave us." It was some hours before the professor was able to translate this satisfactorily, but he finally discovered that it could be dOne

Proper Treatment of Roup.

Roup, one of the most troublesome of diseases to the poultry keeper, comes like cold in the head and afterward settles in the eyes, throat, lungs or whatever happens to be the most vul- nerable part, just as a very bad cold does with a human being. Keep the afflicted fowls comfortably warm, free from drafts and exposure of any kind. Give wholesome, stimulating food.
 Meat sprinkled over with pepper is good, and, as it is disease of the blood, administer some such purifying remedy as flowers of sulphur and put few drops daily of carbolic acid in the drinking water. M

HEALTH IN CORN BREAD.
This Accounts for the Good Condition of
 the Southern Laborer.

This Accounts for the Good Condition of
 the Southern Laborer.
 Behold the average coIored laborer on a southern plantation, said Hon. P B. Winston, of Minnesota and Vir- ginia, recently. How fat and sleek he looks; how his shining eyes and smooth, ebony skin reveal the robust physical man. He is type of perfect health, and to what does he owe his superb condition? I'll tell you in two words-corn bread. There is the grandest food product in the world, and all honor to the noble American who is trying to teach the old world people the various delicious uses of corn bread and the many palatable ways it can be prepared for the table.
 Ii 1t were not for corn I don't know how many of the poor people of Vir- ginia, white and black, would exist. It is in reality the mainstay of life in many localities of the old state. But to really love corn bread I think one must be used to it from childhood. Southern-born men of the old regime commenced gnaW1ng on corn 'poneS'' when they were babies; as they grew older the pene accompanied them on every hunt mt and fishing expedition, and So, When maturity was reached, corn ii some eform or other was wanted at the table three times day. This fact will, l think, initiate against any extensive use of the cereal as food among the people of Europe they haven't been used to it. It has always puzzled me that our own people, out side of the south, fail to appreciate the glories of maize. Tn the great corn growing states of the west it's use is very limited, and the eastern mind, so far as corn is concerned, is bowling wilderness.

ANTS AGAINST SNAKE.
Numbers Won in a Long and Exciting
 Battle.

 Numbers Won in Long and Exciting
 Battle.
 "While camping in Alabama during the late war;" said Col. H. c. Crossman of Dayton, O., according to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, II witnessed an attack of band of black ants upon a striped snake.
 ''One evening, while I was trying to go to sleep, after a long days march, l felt something move under my head. l lifted one corner of the blanket and found snake between three and four feet in length. I quickly hit it with a small stick, but the reptile seemed hardly stunned by the blow, so l picked it up on the end of the stick and threw it about fifteen feet away. The snake landed on large ant hill. Almost in stantly the ants poured forth from their nest, which was underneath, and began vigorous attack upon the in- truder, who was soon covered by scores of his assailants, biting him fearfully. The battle ragged with fury, the snake writhing about in torture.
 'The contest at first seemed an un- equal one, for the snake was rapidly thinning out his prosecutors, but on the other hand the ants were numer- ous and quick in their aggressive movements. The snake with one blow of his tail would kill or wound long line of ants, but the active little crea- lures were soon reinforced by fresh troops and fought with desperation wonderful to behold. I was astonished beyond measure to see the tactics of the ants. When they saw their num- bers were being lessened they dis patched couriers for fresh relays of soldiers, who appeared on the scene in due time to replace the killed or wound ed.
 ''The moon after a time lit up the scene, but as there appeared no near termination of the struggle gave up watching it and, stretching myself again on my blanket, went to sleep. Before striking tents the next morning I went to look at the battle ground. The slain insects were scattered in every direction, but there were six or seven watchful ants upon the back of the snake, which lay stretched out dead near the ant hill"

Increased Stock $4,000

The Stockholders in the Scotland
Neck cotton mills held a meeting here
Tuesday afternoon. The stock was
nearly all represented, and steps were
taken to greatly enlarge the capacity
of the mills.
At the suggestion of Secretary and
Treasury A. Mcdowell, they decided
to purchase new machinery and add
$4,000 to the capitol stock. This
stock is preferred with guarantee
of 6 per cent. and was readily placed.
This will add largely to the capacity
and completeness OF the plant, which
is already one of the best equipped in
the country.
The contract was closed with Mr.. A.
Mcdowell as Secretary and Treasurer
Of the mills for the year, who is given
entire control of the business.
The increased capacity of the mills
will give employment now to about
$50 operatives, and there is now an
opening for more girls. Orders have
been placed for new machinery, part
of which has already been received.

Crops About Rocky NJ cunt.

The 1rgonu'd says although there
has been a good deal of grumbling
about the crop prospect, ana IN spite OF
the crops being a little backward, we
see no cause for complaint. 1t is not
always the forward crop that is the best.
and in this vicinity we have plenty of
time yet to come out all right.
The tobacco Is rather small as a gen
eral thing, although we have seen some
beautiful fields, especially in the Red
Oak section, but it is hardy and looks
strong and fourishing. The corn crop
is looking well, and the cotton crop, al
though still small, has plenty OF time
ahead of it to come out in good shape
if the seasons are favorable"

BENJAMIN D. GRAY DEAD.

Probably never before in its history
has our community been 80 shocked
and stunned az on last Saturday night
when tidings came that Mr. Ben GRAY
was dying. Other good men and promi-
nent citizens, men reyered and loved
have gone from us to God. But the
suddenness Of the blow combined with
the most estimable character of the
victim to render the death Of Mr.. GRAY
doubly distressing. All the morning
OF Friday with his accustomed care and
industry he was looking after the al
fairs Of his farm, enjoying, as he re-
marked TO the writer at the time. I'M
usually fine health. But that after
noon at five O'Clock, as he was assisting
in Harvesting the horse of friend, he
received from vhe animal terrible
kick which resulted in his death the
following evening at nine O'Clock.
News of the accident awoke uniyer-
sal sympathy and apprehension. And
when death ensued the entire commu-
nifty felt the blow. Every one that
knew him realized a sense of personal
bereavement. What a rare man he
was A quick and sensitive con-
science; clear moral perception a
lofty integrity ; a sublime devotion to
duty; guilelessness that was child
like, and a gentleness that was woman
lv-all these, men saw in him no Won
der we loved him so. OF him as we'll
as of any, next to the Man of Nazareth,
it may be said that in his character
ENERGY and truth have met together !;
and peace have kissed
each other" His character was firm
and positive, his convictions clear and
decided And yet, 1 doubt whether he
ever made an enemy. 1t need scarcely
be said, these things being known, that
as Christian he exhibited the beauty
of holiness. As a member and deacon
of his church, his pastor and brethren
could always command his service and
his means, and could rely on his wise,
faithful, and loving counsel No man
ever questioned the christianity of B.
D. Gray. No whispered SANDER ever
stained his SANITY life.
Mr.. Gray was born January 81, 1887,
Beginning life with nothing and charg-
ed with the care of large family, by
diligent application and prudent man
agement he had amassed comfortable
estate, demonstrating how much more
fortune looks to the man than to his
circumstances. His famiIy-a wife, six
sons and three daughters-ah, how they
will miss him But the sobs Of the
immense throng while bis pastor told
briefly of his beautiful life, proclaim
as no language can how generous is the
sympathy felt for his loved ones.
From the Baptist church, his spirit
ual home, and on a glorious Sabbath
evening, we carried him to his grave.
And they laid the pilgrim in an
upper chamber whose window looked
towards the East. There he slept till
the sun rose ; then he awoke and
sung" r. Z. V.

Death of Mr.. William E. Hinton.

Death of Mr.. William E. Hinton.
Mr.. William +. Hinton, Of Peters
burg, father of Mrs A. S. Dunn OF this
place, is dead. The Petersburg CORES
pondent to the Richmond Dispatch
wrote June 22nd:
"Mr. William E. Hinton, ST.. one OF
our Oldest and most respected citizens.
died very suddenly this afternoon about
o'clock. He was the senior member
OF the widely known banking firm of
Hinton & Dunn, which tor the past
thirty-siX years had conducted large
and successful banking business in this
city. The ten or fifteen years previous
to this he was member of the bank
ing house of Paul & Hinton. 1t was
only very recently, as stated in this cor
respondence, that Hinton x Dunn de-
cided to wind up their business, and
since the lst of May they have been ell
gagged in this work, progressing so far
to date as to leaye but little to attend
| to.
Tie firm had vacated the banking
house IN which tor SO many years they
had conducted their business, and had
erected handsome office further up
Sycamore street in which to wind up
their affairs. MIR. Hinton came down
daily to assist in the duties, and to-day
he was in place as usual, in good health.
He was cheerful in spirits, was as
bright as ever in business, and had a
H. L. l.
Office.
"AbOut two O'Clock, while resting in
an easy chair, he was taken suddenly
i'll, and died almost misunderstanding
no word Or showing no sign of recOgni-
ton of those who gathered around him.
Several gentlemen were in the office at
the time Their first intimation of his
illness was groan from Mr.. Hinton,
and when they rushed to his side and
saw his condition one of them imme-
diately ran for physician. In less
than five minutes DIR. ID. w. Lassiter
arrived, but Mr.. Hinton was then dead.
His death, indeed, was almost lmme-
date after the attack. The Doctor said
that death was the result of heart-fail-
ure He died sitting in his chair.
"Mr. Hinton was about so years OF
age. He was one of the finest as well
as one of the most successful business
men in the State, and by his careful
ness in business he amassed a large for
tune, which in large measure, it is
supposed. will be inherited by his three
married daughters, the only children
he leaves.

who has been SO long prominent in the
banking and business circles of the
community, was a..great shock
