Mr.. Burbank's New Paper.

The Los Angeles Record, the daily
paper which Mr.. Burbank is editing
for the present. had 500 circulation at
the end of the second week. 1t is ex-
pected that as new subscribers are
coming in at the rate Of from 600 to
800 month there will be nearly 1000
subscribers before the Record is three
months old. The paper costs 300 a
day, although it is only four columns
larger than TIE SENTINEL. 1t gives
employment to thirty-tiye people in
Guiding carriers, and it is regarded by
the press of California as one Of the
brightest papers in the State. Los
Angeles had a population of $4,000 In
1890, but in five years it has gained
nearly $4,000 people. From 40 to sc
houses are built every week, and Its
business blocks and residences would
do credit to almost any city in the
United States.

| sit is somewhat surprising" re
marked citizen today, that the
recent Legislature cid not impose a
I special tax on bachelors to be used

Had the Fusionists passed such u

The bachelors, not only in the Twin

likely TO have their boaSted comforts

events take d different turn in the
near future. Heretofore many of that
class have been disposed to Sneer at
the benefits and blessings of married
life, and point with affected pride at
the peace and happiness Of the other
state, so far as men are concerned.
They talk patrOnlZingly Of the lectures
their married male friends receive,
and hint sarcastically at the value of
paregoric and soothing syrup as pro-
not troubled with buying shoes for
many little feet, and gloat, or pretend
to at least, over the delights of novel

However, aS has already been men

A painful if not fatal accident be-
fell Mr.. Il. e. Bailey, near Midway,
He was chopping race with two
friends, named Frank and Edgar
Lindsay. He took the first cut Of Il
common-sized tree and finished the
cut first. Then he walked up the
tree to start on new one, passed by
Frank and was in the act OF passing,
walked too close and Edgar'S axe
struck his shoulder, sinking to the
handle. The attending physician
says 1t is the worst case Of cutting
that he ever saw. The latest news
received says that Bailey is getting
along as well as could be expected, but
it is feared he will not recover.

BROTHERS PLEAD GUILTY.
RESULT OF a MURDER TRIAL IN
SURRY COURT.
Negro Women-The Allegheny
Lynchins Case Postponed.

District Attorney Glenn returned
from Surry Court last week. He
says that the trial OF the three Nc.
Bryde and two Barnhart brothers fOI
the murder of Frank Montgomery was
concluded March Goth. The prisoners
plead guilty to manslaughter. Two
OF the McBrydes were sentenced tC
Jail for six months, while the third
| one was set free. One Of the Barn.
harts goes to the penitentiary for two
years, while the other one received
the same sentence as the two MI Bryde
brothers.
The brothers killed Montgomery
(who lived in Virginia. near the Mort h
Carolina and Virginia line, last fall
The evidence showed that the deceas-
ed was partly responsible for the
shooting scrape, during which he lost
his life.
HORRIBLE CRIME.
Capt. Glenn says that the grand
jury returned true bill against two
cOlOred women for murder. Their
crime was horrible one. They killed
little child last fall by building a
fire and holding it over the blaze. The
flames ran in the child's mouth and it
was held in this position until death
relieved it of its sufferings. The two
women claim that they did not intend
to kill the child, but did it only to
reprimand 1t for disobedience.
LYNCHING CASE POSTPONED.
The case against the Allegheny
lynchers, which was removed to Surry
for trial, was again postponed. Many
are of the opinion that If the case
ever comes to trial nobody will be
convicted. Several members OF the
lynching party have left North Caro-
lima.
Is CENT CHAFF CASE.
Several cases were tried at this term
Of Surry court in which not more
than ST. so was involved. The smallest
one, perhaps, was between two farm
ers over Is cents worth of chaff. One
claimed that he had purchased the
chatf for that amount, while the owner
denied the charge. Two lawyers were
engaged in the case and of course
came in for fees much larger than the
worth Of the chaff. 1t required one
day to hear the case. The jury re-
turned verdict against the man
who claimed to have made the pur-
chase.

Wednesday night about o'clock, a
Durham lady, while going home from
a neighbor's house, which was only a
short distance away, was stepped by
some negro scamp and very badly
frightened. She told the rascal who
she was, thinking he had probably
made some mistake, but she seemed
unabashed and turned to get hold OF
her, as she screamed and ran. She
could In no way identify the negro
and the police have been unable to get
hold of any clue as to his identity.

Wrappers are getting scarcer and

the difference is felt when it is run

only one establishment. What a
difference it would make il we had a
