RESCUED HIS BROTHER.
A Thrilling Story of the Heroism of a
Young German Life Saver.

Young German Life.Saver.
A thrilling story ofGerman heroism
at sea comes from Schlewig- Holstein.
One morning recently fishing viii
lage was awakened by gunshot off
the coast. Fastening to the beach,
the people saw ship wrecked on
reef about mile away. The
crew were in the rigging. A life-boat
was run out, but Harro, the leader Of
the crew, was absent.
Eight men, however, rowed out to
the wreck. The crew were got into
the life boat, with the exception OF
one who was lashed high up on a
mast
He was half frozen, and as the storm
was increasing and the life boat over
loaded it was decided that he could
not be taken off. When the life boat
returned to the shore Harro had ar
rived. He asked whether everyone
had been saved, and was told that one
remained
81 will fetch him." said Harro;
"will you 60 with me3"
The men refused, saying that it was
impossible.
Then l will 60 alone" cried
Harro, and sprang into the life boat.
At this moment his mother came run
ming down and begged him not to ven
ture out, reminding him that both his
father and his brother 1--WE had been
drowned. 1--WE was his youngest
brother, and as he had not been heard
from for several years he was supposed
to be dead.
"For love of me-" Harro's mother
begged, don't go!"
"But the man on the mast!" ex-
claimed Harro. care you sure he has
no mother TO mourn his DEATH"
Harro's mother said no more, and
her son and four other men set out
for the wreck. 1t was reached, Harro
climbed the mast and fetched the
hal frozen man down and laid him in
the bottom of the boat. When near
the shore Harro waved his cap and
shouted:
"rell my mother we have saved
Uwe!"
The long lost brother and son was
found.

Spoils.

The Republicans and Populists Divide the
Spoils.
RALEIGH, N. c., March s.-The repub-
licans get the second position at the
penitentiary. and this goes to Under
wood, of Nash county. The fusionists
are to evenly divide the patronage of
the penitentiary and of the Atlantic 4
North Carolina railroad. While Sena-
tor Grant or Duncan, of Beaufort, is to
be made president of that road, yet the
change will not be made until next
September, when the regular annual
meeting is held.
The bill regarding this road provides
for the election of state proxy and to
equalize the stock so that the state will
have the same representation as pri-
vate individuals. This, of course, is to
put the road in the hands of the state
proxy, who. it was arranged, should be
selected by caucus.

NORTH CAROLINA NEWSPAPERS
TStateSyille MascOt.I

[Statesville Mascot
North Carolina journalism has GER
tainly taken an advanced step in the
last few years. Up until short period
before this the State did not have but
one daily paper which would compare
credtably with those of other States.
But to-day the East is represented by
the Wilmington Messenger and nearer
the central part of the State at the
capitol is the Neys and Observer and
further West is the Charlotte Observer,
three daily papers which represent
and live in Gffereut sections of the
State. They are edited with conspicu-
Gus ability and running over with the
very latest news and happenings of the
whole country. AS newspaper either
of them would stand creditable COM
parison with any journal of other
States. There are other small daily
papers which fill sphere in their use
fulness in different sections and towns.
In addition to these daily papers are
the weekly ones which are published
all over the State. The most of these
papers are making Improvements each
year and at this time our State stands
equal to any in the point Of able and
intelligent journalism. No one can
estimate the great medium of intelli-
gence and power of the press in its
fullest measure. To-day within the
narrow limit Of a week every reading
man in the State can be and is in
formed OF every important event and
movement which takes place almost
in the whole world. The invention
and application of the telegraph lines
have of course added much to the use
fulness Of the present day newspaper.
While this army Of editors over the
State are laboring to inform and
enlighten the people they are also
standing armed for the defense of the
State and its institutions against any
wrong. The people have come too to
appreciate the labors of the journalists
and would feel as if they were lost
without a newspaper. Long live the
press i'll its usefulness doing good for
the people and the State.
