Another chapter was recorded in
the criminal calendar of Charlton
county, at Westville, lest Friday
evening about eundown.
1t seems that q week previous,
Cecil McGowen and John s. Robin
son had a difficulty, the nature OF
which we have been unable to learn,
but hot and abusive words fell thick
and fast and a few blows were ex-
changed, McGowen striking the first
blow.
On last Friday, McGowen and
Robinson again met in Westville,
and when Robinson started home
about sundown NcGowen called him,
Robinson stopped and McGowen
walked up to him and proposed to
make friends, to which Robinson
willingly consented.
After q short talk with McGowen,
Robinson again started home.
Imagine his surprise when he had
only gone about 80 yards to hear
the sharp crack Of q revolver ring
out on the evening air. just as
Robinson turned, to see from whence
the report came, q second shot was
fired by McGowen, the 3S-calibre
ball taking effect on the under side
OF Robinson's right leg, just op-
posite the knee cap.
On realizing the imminent danger
he was in, Robinson quickly drew
his revolver and fired one shot at
McGowep which was followed by a
third shot Cred by McGowen at Rob-
inson, this ball striking Robinson
about half way between the knee
joint and the hip, producing slight
flesh wound on the front side of the
right leg.
When Robinson drew his pistol to
shoot at McGowen, although the
ball went wide of it's target, McGow-
en- took refuge behind friendly wag
on near by, and occupied by
Claiborne Oliver and family, who
were preparing to leave town, and
there emptied the two remaining
loaded chambers of his weapon at
Robinson, but neither of the last
two shots struck the object of their
aim.
After emptying his revolver Nc
Gowen took to his heels and made
good time in shaking the dust OF
Westville off his feet.
Robinson was taken home and
Dire. Isaiah and Minnie Knott were
called to dress his wounds, from the
effects of which he will be laid up for
some time.
A warrant was sworn out for Nc
Gowen's arrest, charging him with
felonious assault with intent to
kill.
His arrest was accomplished last
Sunday morning by Constable j. G.
Oldham, and on being taken before
Justice William Clark, OF Clark town
ship, on Monday morning, McGoweu
gave bond in the sum of $500 for his
appearance at his preliminary trial
before Squire Clark next Monday,
Aug. 26th.
McGowen is a young man 19 or
20 years OF age and unmarried.
Robinson is 80 years old and has q

Electrical Exhibits at the Atlanta
EXPOSITION.

Exhibitors are already at work in
the Electrical Building at the Cotton
States and international Exposition.
The Bell Telephone Company has a
force of men preparing their exhibit.
This company will occupy over 1000
square feet and their display will be
very fine. 1t will comprise complete
central station, operating telephones
i'll all parts Of the grounds, connected
with the main system in Atlanta, and
with the long distance system through
out the state. Their space will be fit
ted up in a very handsome manner ana
at heavy expense, and everything will
be shown that illustrates the growth
and progress of the telephone business.
The Exposition is to be congratulated
upon the manner in which the Bell
Telephone Company has taken hold of
this matter.
The General Electric Company have
engaged experts to design their display,
and it will be most elaborate. Their
space also will occupy considerably
over 1000 square feet and they may
passlbly require more. The design of
their exhibit will be original and
unique, and will create a decided
sensation. They are going into the
matter with an accustomed zeal and
liberality.
The Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing Company have also
secured one of the large central spaces
and will fill it with varied and inter-
esting exhibit, and there will be the
usual rivalry between these two great
companies as to which shall have
the most interesting and instructive
display.
The Brush Electric Compa ny and
Fort Wayne Electric Corporation were
also among the first to take a large
amount of space, and they will not be
behind any other company in the size
and beauty of their exhibits.

Our State University.

EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-Itisv very pleasing
to an admirer of our leading educational
institution, situated at Chapel Hill, to
note the progress and enterprise she is
exhibiting. All Indications now point to
an enrolment of 600 students. The
University comprises the Academic, Law
and Medical schools, and the Summer
School, now in session, primarily for
teachers. The Summer School has a
corps OF efficient teachers in many
branches and loud are the students in
voicing its praise. 1t is an aggressive
move, hearty appreciation of which is
evinced by it's deservedly large patronage.
The faculty of the University numbers
thlrty-tive professors and instructors
and assistants in laboratories. They
represent the leading universities of
America, Germany, England, France and
Greece. No college in the South can
boast OF superior teaching force.
The best sanitary conditions exist at
Chapel Hill, good sewerage and drainage
and the water works afford both hot and
cold baths.
The 1ntirmary, recently built, is a COM
modlous structure, well appointed, and
lnsures good medical attention to
students. 1t is the twelfth building to
be erected.
An electric light plant is now in course
OF construction, which will supply all the
dormitores and lecture rooms with
lights. Elephant will cost over 81 900.
Athletics are a feature of college life
and while undue prominence is not given
them at Chapel Hill, yet the students
find ample time to indulge in all manly
sports and games. The foot ball and
base ball teams will try hard to wrest
the Southern championship from Nir-
Slnia, and prospects are that Cardinals
hopes will be realized.
The \. NJ. c. A. will erect a building to
cost $4,000, much OF it having been
already subscribed. An effort is also on
foot to raise $50, 900 for Alumni Hall !"
and the friends of the University will be
glad to learn that nearly half of this
amount has been raised. 1t will contain
all the lecture rooms in one building, and
the lecture rooms heretofore used will be
| converted into additional dormitories.
The University is on boom.
The moral tone of the University is
| exceptionally good
The spirit of the student BODY is manly
and self-reliant.
Students who intend pursuing a cole
gate course can not find better instruc-
ton than at the University of North
Carolina. STrDEST

Let your tobacco stand on the hill

not to cut any until u barn can be filled

and quality. Put seven medium sized
plants on IA stick four and a half feet
long. Let the plants go from the cut
ter's hands over the stick in the hands of
the holder. After being filled the stick
should not touch the ground for any
length of time; in fact tits better for
them to go directly from the holder to
the wagon and from the wagon to the

eight inches apart-that is if the tobacco
is of medium size.

THE BIBLE.

No evidence as to the divine origin
OF the Bible is perhaps more conclus-
i've than its evidently cosmopolitan
character. In one sense no book is
more provincial than the Bible. Its
setting is Oriental, and its coloring
most intensely local. The vineyard,
the wady, the olive grove, the bazaar,
the walled town are its familiar fig
ures, and all are tokens OF primitive
pastoral or agricultural life, while
slight suggestions are afforde here
and there in the Bible of germinat-
ing civilization of a more thoroughly
organized and progressive type. The
Roman and the Greek, indeed, cross
the field of vision, as the representa-
tives of a more highly developed social
and political life; but they are on v
incidental characteristic prevailing
type and touch is Jewish and pro-
vincial.
And yet this provincial book, this
local revelation, this Hebraistic me-
mortal, is also the most cosmopolitan
book in the world. and has the
broadcast sympathies of any collection
of writings ever called sacred by the
devotees of any faith. The Bible, as
no other book is, is the record, the
epitome, the incarnation OF Jewish
thought and life and yet the Bible
more than any other book is the il
illustrator and the interpreter of the
common aspirations of race and
the generalized experiences of many
multitudes ofmany lands. The Bible
is the universal book, the current
revelation. 1t bears translation into
any tongue, and it's voice is as divine
when it speaks in Arabic or Japanese
as in Hebrew and Greek. All peoples
find what they need in the Bible, and
are touched at some point of their
experience byits acute-angled truths.
No book has a like range; or so rich
and rare a message; none has had
such past and none will have such
a future &c. A. S. Dwight in New
York Observer.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

A piano should never be placed in a
damp room or near heated stove or
register.
Never cut lamp wick if you can help
it. Instead turn the wick down and rub
off the charred portion with scrap of
paper.
Fine soft bread crumbs are excellent, If
crushed to meal, for cleaning delicate
lamp shades, screens, scarfs and dainty
silk or boiling cloth trihes.
Tablecloths, besides being made in the
old lengths, are now found round and
oval and i'll these cases the napkins
match. Some of the most thoroughly
modern ones have knotted fringe.
One of the best old fashioned pain kill
ers is hot application OF salt. Place
the salt in an old iron shovel and heat
red hot over the fire; then pour the salt
into thin cloth bag and apply to the
aching part.
Don't wash your light kid gloves in
gasoline; it takes the life out of them.
Instead fill a bowl with corn meal, put
your gloves on and rub them thoroughly
as if washing your hands. The dirt will
disappear as if by magic,
