A VERY WISE HEN.

Susquehanna has hen with a head
for mathematics. Last spring she sat
and hatched few chickens, which
were taken from her and added to
another flock. But she would not give
it up. Instead, she went outside and
clucked until her proper number of
chickens-no more, no less-and stratted
about with them at her heels, the
proudest fowl in all the county. When
the young ones We're large enough to go
to roost they feared to follow her to
such a height, so she took them one
by one upon her back,and set them off
carefully in a row, then perched at
the head of them, confident that she
had discharged the whole duty of a

We DayR of Amid,

The memory of Webster will al
ways live. In our boyhood school
days we loved his "blue back" SPELL
er. In this connection we notice in
the Concord correspondence of the
Charlotte IN. Co. News, an account
of an old-time spelling "bee," which
recalls the memories of Webster's
blue back school days when we were
"choosed" to toe the mark in the
'match." We note also with inter-
est that these spelling bees" are
again taking their old accustomed
places in the country schools. Why
this book was ever discarded for in
ferior spoilers is-well, not a mys-
terry either, when we remember the
variations between the cold" and the
"new" days. Like the "new" wo-
man, they are too Fantastic" to
mention. However, we are pleased
to see the sold blue. back speller
resume its place, even though it is
"about in spots," as it were.-Rock

HIS BRIEF FREEDOM.
Convict Campbell Discharged and Inn
mediateIy Arrested for Horse Steal

HSoidISIy AEFcSteu TOT horse SteaI-
ing.
G. G. Campbell finished a two
years term of imprisonment in the
penitentiary today. For period of
about six seconds Campbell was a
free man. His freedom was short
lived, says the Raleigh Press.
The law requires that the peniten-
tiary authorities srall, when a con-
vict completes his sentence, purchase
a ticket for him outside of the coun-
ty, and that he be given his dis
charge on the train.
Warden Fleming put Campbell en-
the train this morning in compli-
ance with the law and as soon as he
gave the prisoner his discharge,
Sheriff Jones and his deputies, who
were in waiting, arrested Campbell
on a warrant from Mecklenburg
county charging him with stealing a
horse.
Campbell is a desperate character.
He threatened Warden FIeming's
life and says he will kill him if he
lives. The prisoner escaped from
the pen once and stole the horse at
that time.
Campbell is an intelligent looking
young white man. He will be taken
to Charlotte tomorrow. He accuses
the penitentiary authorities of Sc
verest cruelty.

CAME NEAR BEING A WRECK.
Accident to the Southerns Local Train
Saturday Night.

Saturday night there came near
being serious collision at the Fifth
street crossing of the Southern. No.
10, the local train that is due to leave
Charlotte at 6 o'clock, was pulling
out of the yard slowly. On one of
the side tracks a switch engine was
moving a few cars of lumber. Just
as No IL was passing the switch,
one of the cars of the lumber train
broke loose and moved back over the
switch. The baggage coach and
second class car of No. 12 struck the
lumber car and for few moments
the passengers were badly frightened.
The glasses in the windows of the
coach were shattered and the front
steps were torn off.
Mr.. G. II. Williamson, q tobacco
drummer of Winston, was the only
passenger that received any wounds
of consequence. He was badly cut
about the face by the flying glass.
The accident caused the delay of
No. 10 about an hour.
