What VIII Happen.
Raleigh News and Observer.

1t is bad enough for public Of
fetal to solicit five. hundred doll
lar bribe as did the Republican
chairman of the board of commits
sioners of Vance county. It was
scandalous enough for a member
of the Warrenton county board to-
become a fugitive from justice be-'
cause of seduction; it is crime
enough against Southern civiliza-
ton for negroes to be given voice,
in the management of white schofs.
1t is enough to make every patriot
blush with shame to read the trans
formation from the clean, orderly
and decent government that has
prevailed since the native white
population regained control Of the
States affairs after the orgies Of
of 1869 until the new crowd
came into power.
The actions of these officers is
bad enough, but the Asheville Ga
zette tells of story of how num-
ber of Populists in Cabarrus couIi-
Ity sought to shield one of their
Der for compromising felony
that shows a moral bluntness, to
say the least, that is most disheart-
ening to those who believe that
, public Office is a public trust. The
Gazette thus tells the incident:
"Mr. l.. G. Caldwell, of States
vile, a Cleveland elector in 1892,
! wanted pie bad, and turned Pop.
. last year. He failed to get the
Pop. nomination for Congress,
! though it is due to candor to say
) he could have beaten Shuford, the
successful candidate of his party.

r examination. Mr.. Caldwell acted

$ of court in Cabarrus county, at

: was indicted for compounding ~

II well was approached by number
l. of Populists. Some reprimanded
him, others told him of reports to
II the effect that Democrats had paid
g him $50 to prosecute Mr.. Farr

Apropos Of the droll surprises that
await the woman who marries a
man addicted to practical science
the following anecdote is related:
On the Palisades a cottage had
been erected containing a laborato-
ry for the development of untold
scientific mysteries. One day the
u%nscientific bride observed a water
bug-which had apparently mate
rallied for the observation-disclosures,
ing unsuccessfully to climb out Of a
deep tub. Not having a fondness for
bugs, she called to her husband to
come and seize him and put him to
death. The husband calamity rush
ed to the rescue, but, becoming in
terested in the scientific aspect of
the creature, slowly replied:
"No, I'll not kill him. I'll take
his weight and the angle at which
he invariably slips back into the
tub, and then we shall have his CO.
efficient of adhesion"
Whereat the amazed lady became
speechless, marveling great at the
resources of the scientific masculine
mind.-Youth's Companion.

Peter johnson was in Brayton, last
Tuesday, and was setting up the
filthy weed to his friends in honor of
his recent marriage. Peter and Miss
Katie Birk stole away to Atlantic the
other day and were united in marriage
and are nicely settled on a farm just
north of the Highland church. Peter
said none of his Brayton friends /" cow
belled" him any but oh, my, what a
lot of fellows ove in the Valley did
get after me.
Sunday while all the inmates of
Tom Kelley's home were away, with
the exception of his hired hand, Mr..
Henry Hendricksen, that gentleman
led out the horses to water when one
of them whaled away and hit him
laundering kick in the side and hurled
him to mother earth with great force
where he laid in an unconscious state
for an hour or so, with not u soul
about to aid him in his dire distress.
Finally he struggled back to con-
seriousness and came to Brayton for
consultation with DR.. Koob. No
bones were broken but the Doctor
says the young nan was pretty badly
shaken up.
The other day little Cathleen Free
man, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Freeman, ran to her mother and COM
planned that her hand hurt, and her
mother stopped her work to see what
the matter was and noticing that
a threat seemed to be in the little
girls hand and when she would at
tempt to pull the thread out it would
cause the little n to scream with
pain. The parents took the little girl
to DR.. Koob's Office, in Brayton, and
it was found that 8 needle had been
run into the hand, head first, the point
broken off and SO deeply was it inn
bedded in the flesh that 1t would have
to be cut out with a knife. DIR. Koob
administered chloroform to Little
Cathleen and removed the needle.
Charlie Milliman and Moses Brink
erhoff returned from their trip to
Texas, last Monday, and are again at
home in Oaktield. We" buttonholed"
them and this is what they told us of
Port Arthur and the south generally:
Port Arthur would be a good place
for a frog pond, ifit wasn't salt water,
is about as big as Brayton and there
are hundreds of men there, who have
spent their all to get there, and who
must either walk out or go hungry,
as there is no work of any kind to do.
They say the land around there is low
and marshy, being but two feet above
the level of the sea, but further back
in the interior the land is slightly
undulating. They advise all who
contemplate a trip to the sonth in
search of work that they had better
bide Q wee. The boys took q boat
ride and swim in the gulf Of Mexico
and speaking in general terms of the
far south they, like Embassader John
Hay, remark We'll, as for me, no
| thank yop, I'll not take any of it in
mine."

That Body at Cousins, Island.

IL seems there was body washed ashore
at Cousins island as first reported and
that Coroner Perry did not find it as he
was misinformed as to the part of the
island where it was lying.
The body was found at Graves cove,
near Cornfield point, which is at the
northeast corner of the island. Mr.. Cal.
vim Sawyer found the body and notified
the selectmen of Yarmouth. Wednesday
evening, after his futile voyage down the
bay, Coroner Perry telephoned the Var
mouth selectmen to bury the body, and
an inquest will probably be unnecessary :,
From what information could be OBJ
tanned it seems probable that the body is
that of the young man drowned off
Jewels island about three weeks ago.
This young man was employed for some
time by lady on JEWELS island and was
drowned it was thought while pulling
some lobster traps. The dory was found
floating about but his body was not re-
covered. This body was badly decom-
posed. He had on no coat or trousers; a
pair of thick soled shoes and black stock
ings supported by carriers and a red
sweater
1t is understood that reward of s1OC
was offered by the lady who formerly en-
ployed him, for the recovery of the body,
which sum will probably go to Mr.
