Police and Coroner Investigate the
Death of COIored Child.
A reported case Of child murder was
investigated by Coroner Goette last night
A 4-year-old colored girl named Carver
died on East Boundary street Saturday
night.
The neighbors were very suspicious of
the cause of her death and various stor-
les were in circulation as to cruel treat
ment. The child's grandmother, who had
been telegraphed for from Brunswick
heard the stories and reported them to
the police barracks, requesting an in
Vestigatton. Chief McDermott notified
Coroner Goette, and they went together
TO the neighborhood and investigated the
case. The neighbors told some harrow
ing tales as to the manner in which the
parents were accustomed to beat and other
wise III treat the child. 1t appeared that
the child was illegiumate, the mother liv-
ing in Brunswick, and the father having
brought the child with him to Savannah
and having married here. This, some of
the neighbors thought, accounted for the
al treatment to which the child had been
subjected.
George Carver, the father, and Rebecca
Carver his wife, were arrested by Chief
McDermott and sent to the barracks sub
Ject 10 the orders OF the coroner. Coroner
Goette held an inquest, which resulted in
a verdict that the childs death was the
result of natural causes.
1t appeared to have been one of those
cases of neglect SO common among the
colored people. DR.. S. p. Lloyd the col
ored city physician, testified that he was
called to the child Saturday night. and
found it dying Of commissions. 1t was too
late for him to do anything for ii then.

Descendants of Chang and Eng Now Living

A few miles from Mount Airy were
the homes of the famous Siamese
twins, Eng and Chang, who were born
in Siam of Chinese parents in 1911.
These twins travelled all over the world

finally assumed. They came at last
into Surry county sightseeing; they de-
clared that it was the grandest country
they had ever seen. and having already
made decent fortune, they decided to.
buy property and settle permanently
in Surry. They met and fell in love
with Miss Adelaide Yates, of Wilkes,
an adjoining county. Miss Yates was.
in an awkward predicament, beloved
by both, but neither could tell of his.
affection without the other hearing it.
Finally the matter was settled by Miss.
Sallie Yates, sister of Miss Adelaide,
cOnsenting to become the bride of
one and Miss Adelaide the other.
The parents of the Misses Yates
strenuously objected to the dOu-
bic marriage, but the young
ladies were not to be deferred. so they
eloped, met their lovers on the bank of
a little stream on the roadside near
their home and, preacher being pres
ent, they were quietly married. The
two couples settled within two miles
of Mount Airy. and for several years
lived together. Owing to domestic
uuarrelS however two homes were
found necessary. and each built COM
Portable home. They lived alternate
weeks at each others homes. and each
raised large family of children, some
of whom still live and are among the
most prosperous and highly respected
people in Surry county.
They were probably the most Won
derful of all human phenomena. They
lived to an advanced age and were
clever, law -abiding men. 1t is said
that they would sometimes have their
little quarrels. and one would threaten
to kick the other over the fence. In
1874 Eng who had been in failing
health. died very suddenly. Indeed,
on awakening one morning his brother
Chang, found that Eng had died during
the night. Physicians were sum-
