THE GRAHAM CASE.
No Warrant for the Statement that he is
Being Prosecuted.


Being Prosecuted.
Hickory, n c., March 3.-(SpeciaD
The action Of the grand jury in finding a
true bill against J. T.. Graham, clerk OF
Superintendent Mebane, has awakened
interest in that yexed case. Unless more
evidence can be obtained than was pro-
duced at the hearing before the magis
trate, there is little probability that
conviction can be secured. The grand
jury doubtless thought that the matter
ought to be- investigated. The cry Of POI
itical persecution is absurd, and Gra-
hams friends are injuring his cause by
making the accusation. Men are not per-
secuted for opinions sake in Catawba
county. 1t is charged That two houses
occupied by Grahstfn have been burned,
and that on both occasions his furniture
was insured for much more titan 1t was
worth. The allegation is also made that
while carrying an accident policy he
claimed to have. been shot in. the toe, and
demanded. the amount of his policy, which
was peremptorily refused. At the pre-
liminary hearing Graham did not go on
the stand He had q perfect right to re-
fuse to testify. But for a man who was
the innocent victim of malicious persecu-
tion his course was singular. Under such
circumstances it would seem that he
ought to have made haste to explain
all the facts and circumstances connect
ed with the case. Before playing the role
OF martyr he ought also to give an account
of the episode Of the injured toe.
J.. Fl. Shuford, president Of the Cataw-
ba county Alliance, publishes card in
the Mercury, repudiating the boilers and
all their works. Shuford had been in
formed that Senator Wakefield claimed
to nave his endorsement of the bolters.
This imputation the county president
takes occasion to deny, with some degree
of heat
A young man named Seeley, from Mas
sachusetts, died here yesterday at the
Hickory Inn. He spent some time in
Asheville hoping to be cured of consump-
tion Finding that his case was hopeless,
he set out for home, accompanied by his
aunt and uncle. He grew rapidly worse
and was taken from the train at Hickory
in a dying condition. His body was
embalmed and sent North to his friends.

Your anxiety is for your
delicate child; the child
that in spite of all your care
full over-watching, keeps
thin and pale. Exercise
seems to weaken her and
food fails to nourish. That

not as a medicine, but as
a food containing all the

recover.
Miss Virginia Laycook has returned
from visit to Grenada and Hardy
She was the guest of Mrs, T.. NJ. Eli:
Thursday night.
Miss Maude Wynn. a highly cultured
young lady of Cotfeeville, is in our
city visiting Miss Ida Wilbourn, and
that reminds me to ask. Have you
noticed how pleasant smile is on the
face OF our most intelligent Mr.
Bailey 2" He has bought MIN a new
buggy and it seemed to have been pu,
through Sunday. Widowers will get
there.
Mr.. Tile Farrell visited his o!d
home one day last week.
Did you hear about the great calam'
ity which befell Mr.. John Daley while
carrying his best girl home few days
ago? MIR. Daley had always been con
sidered splendid driver but some how
he was careless on this occasion and
drove right out in big mud-hole,
when his horse lav fiat down in the
water and mud. The screaming young
lady jumped out and they walked back
to Torrance where she spent the night,
The buggy seat was brought back to
Torrance by negro next morning.
Brother Norfsinger filled his ap-
pointment here Sunday and Sunday
night, preaching Il beautiful and i'm
pressive sermons.
A certain one of our girls remarked
to her sister and aunt a few days ago,
"I'll never be an old maid as long as
Landon Bailey is in this country.
We have been suspectlng something
Of the kind between these two for
quite while and now we feel con
vInced.
The waters are up so high as TO pre-
vent passage between here and the

The Mississippi Farmer urges the
farmers Of Mississippi to plant corn.
1t says:
1.-THE planting season is here now,
and we desire to urge every farmer to
plant enough land In corn to make
more than enough to do.
ut Is q serious mistake for farmers
in this country to buy their corn and
meat from the North. Thousands Of
dollars are being sent to the North
from this country this year for meat
and corn, when that money should re.
main here. We believe Mississippi
can make Its own corn and meat, and
hope II will be done this year."

By NO MEANS FORGOTTEN.

The press Of the country at present is
filled with column after column concern
ing Mckinley and the new administra-
ton, as well as Cleveland and the ex-ad-
ministration. But during all the hub
bub and excitement the thoughts Of
thousands Of the American people have
been centered upon one OF their fellow
citizens, as patriotic, as strong, and as
, great as any, whether incoming or out
; going. We refer to William Jennings
Bryan, the brave, popular and unyield-
ing exponent of pure Democracy and
the chosen leader of the party Of the
! people.
Mr.. Bryan participated to some ex-
! tent in the inaugural ceremonies OF his
successful opponent, but those who no.
ted the expressions depicted on his clas-
sic features could read there no sign Of
selfish disappointment, no sulkiness or
petty jealousy; out the light Of the hope
and determination seemed to circle his
brow with halo of brightness. AS he
viewed the marching thousands and lis
tened to the drum beats and shouts Of
his political victors, the thought doubt
less fitted through his mind that last
November over $500 200 of his fellow
citizens voted to make him the recipient
Of this homage and glory, and that a
change OF little more than 10000 votes
distributed in half dozen of the closest
States would have given him the seat Of
honor in the carriage containing the
President and ex-President. Thousands
of his fellow citizens were thinking along
similar lines.
Mr. Bryan's work did not close with
the Inauguration Of his successful oppo-
nent. On the contrary, it has just be-
gun. He is too patriotic an American
citizen to misuse his mighty influence
in throwing obstacles in the path Of the
much -heralded march of prosperity, but
he will not be slow to note the mistakes
of misgovernment and preserve them for
future use. He has by his powerful rea-
soning and magic eloquence convinced
thousands, yea millions, that the free
and unlimited coinage OF silver is the
only hope Of the poor man, and it may
be well for this brand-new Republican
administration to consider whether the
politics he so ably advocated and which
were fought for by over $500, 900 of in
telligent Americans are not given some
slight attention.
During the four years to elapse before
another national struggle Mr.. Bryan will
quietly yet actively go about his chosen
mission Of encouraging the hopes and
ambitions of his party. He has declin-
ed flattering offers of lucrative employ
ment in order to be free and untram-
meled agent among his people, and if
Moses is needed at any time to lead the
hosts from the wilderness of poverty
and dispair caused bya government of
soulless trusts and corporations, William
Jennings Bryan is the man to do it. His
obscurity is but temporary. .-Ex.

that the entire hundred miles Of road
between Memphis and Grenada will be
laid with the heavy steel rail, apd
thoroughly ballasted with a very
superior quality Of gravel, by the time,
or before, the summer traffic and
travel opens. 1t will then be one ofthe

Of very enjoyable time at Carroll Reformed
parsonage, near this city, being a surprise
and donation to the pastor, Rev. Ii. j. Mac
alster, and his family, from members of St.
Matthew's congregation and other friends in

substantials and luxuries, by which pantry,
cellar and corn-bin were generously replen-
ished.
Refreshments Of ice cream, cake, &C., in
great abundance, also provided by the ladies
of the congregation, were served. A presen
tation address was made by Miss Clara Ny
ers, and responded to by the pastor.
very pleasant evening was passed in So
cial conversation and with vocal and instru-
mental music, and at late hour the large
company retired, leaving to the family the
pleasant task of storing away the gifts left
behind, and which was not completed until
the following day.
Among those present and those represented
were Mr.. and Mrs. Jos. p. Yingling, Mr..

Howard and Carroll Join.

The hospitable home of Mrs. Ellen A. Mer
cier, on the Sans Greek road was the scene
of much gaiety on Thursday evening, March
H. Two companies of ladies and gentlemen,
one from neighborhood of Lisbon and Flor
ence, Howard county, and the other from the
vicinity of Freedom, Carroll county, that
stronghold of socability and good cheer, met
and were welcomed by Mrs. MERCER and her
daughter Miss Pearl, with cordially which
was at once charming and sincere. Cards,
games and social conversation were INDUCED
in until eleven o. clock, when all we're ushered
into the dining room where refreshments were
served.
The party from Howard consisted of Misses
Nellie Gather, Mary Owings, Maggie Owings,
Sophia Webb, Belle Runkles and Margaret
Cauthorn, and hessrs. Gather, Patrick,
Selby and Cauthorn; that from Carroll,
Misses Lou E. Dorsey, Mamie Devries, Maud
Slack and Ida Cauthorn, and Messrs. Pierce
Prugh, Clinton Brandenburg, Herbert De-
vries, George P. Beasman and Benjamin
Dorsey.
No better evidence of Miss Mercier's capa
5iities as hostess was needed than the genial
way in which the two companies seemed 10
affiliate, and those of Carroll hope the pleas
antimpresson they made on them was mutual.
