NEGROES HAVE A ROW.
Three Shot and Badly Wounded-The
Case Will be Heard To-day.


Case Will be Heard To-day.
A high old racket between some "cul-
lud gemmen' took place near AIilburnie
Sunday night 1t appears that the dusky
sports had attended the negro Methodist
church in that section and were on their
return home. There We're eight in the
party. 1t appears that some coon in the
party spoke disparagingly OF some dusky
damsel. The discussion. it appears,s be-
came general and it also appears that
the ladies. though absent, had able and
ready champions. Needless 10 say the
spiritual food they had received and
their religious meditations were cast to
the wind. and Il general free fight oc-
Cured RaZors and pistols flashed I'm the
moonlight and the curses and yells of the
crowd made a scene indiscribable. Dur
ing the melee Snow Hinton was shot
through the thigh: a pistol ball struck
boy named Robinson. but fortunately
for him the bullet struck his skull, MAX
ing graceful run around his craniam,
merely inficting scalp wound. An
other negro whose name we could not
learn, was shot and badly wounded.
Warrants are out for the entire number
and the matter will come up for trial be-
fore Justice John Nichols to-day.

TWO LINKS TO Be BUILT
REIDSVILLE TO KERNERSNILLE
MT. MOURNE TO GASTONIA.
SAORTsNS THROUGH LINE FORTY MILES
If This is Done the Value Of The North Carolina
Road will be Greatly Deprecated, as it
will Then be Only a Local Road
double Track Needed.

The Southern Railway has completed
its Mocksville Mooresville branch, and
within the next two weeks regular
schedule trains will be running on it.
This makes the Southern independent
of that part of the North Carolina Rail
road between Greensboro and Charlotte
the part that mas always hitherto been
most valuable to the State and absolute
" indispensable to the Southern.
1t was the fight over the lease ques-
ton in the last Legislature, it has been
alleged, that caused the Southern to
decide to complete this link of % miles.
Since the settlement of the lease Ques-
ton. however. the line is worth little
for anything other than local traffic, but
already the Southern officials are CON
templating completing the links from
Reidsvile to Kerncrsvlle and from Mt.
Mourne to Gastonia This would then
become the through line and the North
Carolina Railroad by Greensboro. Sails
bury and Charlotte will be only Il local
line.
Now, mind you, | don't say this will
be done but / do say the management
OF lne southern Is contemplating TN
ACCESSIBILITY of it. The only question now
is that of the cost. To complete these
two links will take about 43 miles of new
road over a country that must be graded
at great cost.
On the other hand, to build it will
shorten the Southern's through line 10
Florida some 40 odd miles. This in the
near future will mean an hours shorter
ride to Cuba and Porto Rico.
And this. in these days of competition
for through business among transporta
ton lines, means much. Then again il

THE FIGHTING" SQUIRREL.

The Fighting" squirrel in the Capitol

mounted the backs of several gentlemen
on their way to church Sunday. If
you punch at him with stick, strike at
him with your hat or attempt to play
with him, he seems to consider it chai-
Ienge and accepts it on the spot. If you
go ON and attend to your business,
though, the squirrel will do the same

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS,

misc the Tax Cases.

Great Falls, Oct. 5.-The county COM
missioners finished their October ses-
sion to-day. Charles Swartz appeared
before them as the special agent of the
Northern Pacific Railway company,
and offered to compromise the claims
OF county for taxes on the COM
pany's land by paying so per cent. of
all taxes levied and penalties n all
of the accrued costs. The commission
ers thought II best to accept the terms
offered. While the company has quite
a little land in Cascade county and the
assessed value OF hat land Is only
about two-fifths of that which lies in
nan instances beside IL but belongs
TO others. The company has twice OBJ
ain a judgment in its favor in what
Is known as the Myers case. which is
still pending in the United States su-
preme court. The county, in ase that
the suit is decided in favor Of the rail-
way company. is better of by one-half
OF what Is due. though of course II
would lose In equal sum should the
case be finally decided against the rail-
way.
The board appointed John Rush to
be constable in Belt township. 1t also
voted to dispense with the services of
the game warden for the present, and
TO stop his pay also. Five thousand
dollars was transferred from the poor
