MORGANTOWN RESCUE
STIRRING EVENT IN HISTORY
OF NORTH CAROLINA.
How Colonel SEWER Was Saved-who
Was the Lan and Outspokeu Youth
Who Answered to the Name of "An-
drew Jackson?" v

The crowd in M%organtown at The
opening of the Sewer trial was the
largest which had ever assembled in
North Carolina, or, for that matter,
In the entire country south of the Po-
tomac. The roads were unusually
good in the summer of 1898. and for
100 miles around people had ridden
over the hills to hear what the hero
OF Kings mountain" who gloried in
having been a rebel and a traitor
against England, would say when put
on trial for his life on the charge Of
rebellion and treason against North
Carolina. The high court did not open
until 10 o'clock, and long before that
hour both the court house and the
square around it were crowded with
men In every variety of costume from
the uniform of a general of North Car
DINA militia to the buckskin shirt of
the Watauga backwoodsman. The
four "groggeries," which were ample
Tor the needs of the town on ordinary
court days, were swamped with GUS
toners, and nothing but the liberal
supply OF such pocket pistols" as our
colonial ancestors carried with them
on such occasions prevented a deplor-
able epidemic of thirst. AS it was,
the crowd kept in a good humor.
There had been only one fight during
the morning, and it was all too brief.
In the crowd which hurrahed for this
fight, and for every other which took
place during the day, there was "a tall,
lank, uncouth looking young man, with
long locks of hair hanging over his
face and his back hair done up in an
eelskin cue" According to Albert
G%allatin, his name was Andrew Jack
son and he had stopped to hear the
trial, intending to proceed afterward
to Robertson's colony on the Tennes-
see side Of the mountains. Gallatin
says "his dress was singular and his
manners those of a rough backwoods-
man." This is undoubtedly true, but
it has never been definitely proven that
he was the same Andrew Jackson who

Tho Postal SaYinga Bank.

For many years efforts have been
made to establish postal savings
banks, but the project has always been
violently opposed by the people who
did not wish banking business divert
ed from its present channels. There is
Just now a possibility that the postal
savings bank may m~aterialize. This
will be Of great benefit to small de-
positors and those who have no con-
fidence in the ordinary bank. A bill
which is to be introduced early in the
next session of congress provides that
the amount deposited shall not exceed
three hundred dollars. There are
many localities where banks are not
convenient, and a very large con-
tingent of the public have no real faith
in banks as a mean of safety for their
hard-earned dollars. No matter how
reliable these institutions may be they
have heard SO many stories about
runs" and bank failures that they
have grown suspicious. II they can
put their treasures direct into the
hands of Uncle Sam they will feel much
confident as to their safety, and
very much more money will be saved
by this means. AS an encourager to
thrift and prudence the postal savings
bank will be one Of the most valuable
a~uxiliaries in the community New

rs A GREAT JUMPER.
Why HIGGINS is CALLED THE
HUMAN KANGAROO.
Some of His Extraordinary Feats De.
scribed and Illustrated-Into a (ase
of Eggs Without Breaking q Single
One. v

In the Strand Magazine Oswald
North writes of the extraordinary
jumping feats of John Higgins, 1.-The
Human Kangaroo" From this article
we quote:
The curious thing about Mr.. Higgins
is that he is considerably below med
ium statue, being but s feet 81 inches
in height. He is not yet tw~enty-six
years Of age, and m from Black
burma district famous for the num-
Der and variety of athletes it has pro-
duced. Higgins various feats are
truly remarkable, whether considered
merely as jumps, or as dramatic spec
tacles, i%ngeniously contrived and brill
liantly executed. The photographs re-
produced here were specially taken on
the stage of the Pavilion theater, in
Piccadilly Circus.
One of the feats which Mr.. Higgins
is shown performing is one of a num-
Der of very extraordinary trick
jumps. Clutching his dumb-bells, The
wonderful little nan gives a few
ka~ngaroo-like leaps, and then rises
into the air and alights right in the
middle of a case of eggs! And yet no.
an egg is cracked, although the ath-
lete is seen to linger in their midst for
a moment and then rise gracefully
over the back of the chair. We asked
him how this was done. He said lie
couldn't tell; it was partly an effort
of will. When he alighted for that
fraction of a second on the eggs, he
did not, of course, exercise a single
ounce of his weight, but completed
the jump by certain strenuous move
ments of his shoulders and the upper
part of his body generally.
Often people in the audience have
doubted that the eggs were real eggs.
But such persons are always courte-
f! ously invited on to the stage, not mere

Having delivered himself Of this har.

Having delivered himself Of this har-
angue without seeming to care whether
1t would please the bystanders or not,
the tall young man shook hands twice
with young Sewer and turned toward
the court house, followed by q cheer
from the tackles" or plebeians, as he
would have called them in the Ian
guage of the volume Of Plutarch he
carried in his saddle bags. He had a
way of his W in getting through a
crowd, and a few minutes later he was
in the court house and inside the rail-
ing, talking in low tones to two Other
young men whose conversation showed
that they were law students and fierce
republicans like himself. SILENCE IN
the COURT said the high sheriff, stern
ly, and the undersheriff. who held the
royalistic mace which had helped to
occasion the "~Jacobinical' outburst,
brought the handle Of it down on his
desk in a series of menacing thumps.
AS the noise ceased the Judge looked
over his spectacles at the prisoners
dock. 1.-THE defendant has heard the
indictment charging him with high
treason against the sovereign common
wealth of North Carolina, by the grace
of God free and independent. Let him
stand up before the bar Of this court
and plead whether he be guilty or not
guilty."
Sewer rose slowly. He was smooth
ly shaven, and his face, still unwrin-
killed., gave him the appearance of be-
ing 10 years younger than he really
was. He had dressed himself care
fully in the full regimentals of a Con.
tinental colonel, and when he rose to
plead, the crowd outside, seeing him
through the windows and being safe
from the anger of the bench, gave it's
verdict in the case by a lusty cheer.
The judge frowned. and the sheriff's
mace once more pounded the desk. AS
the cheer died away Sewer began:
IF it please this court"
But he never finished his sentence.
The taller OF the three men who had
ridden up out side with the led mare
pushed forward before him and bowed
to the Judge:
my name is James Cozby, II it
please the COURT" he said. II am dep
utized by the people of the Watauga
settlement to represent this defendant
by challenging the Jurisdiction of the
court to try him. When the court
wants him again, let it send to Wa
tauga for him!"

lowed this astonishing utterance, an

GA Inv lOI1lNG N CAlN)lLE.
Nothing but a close examination of The
bell in stu will convince such people.
A curious thing is that Higgins never
practices. He considers his evenings
work before the public quite enough
practice. Another remarkable thing
is the way in which he has attained,
after years of perseverance, his pres
ent position as champion all-around
jumper. Fearlessly he has attacked
professional and semi-professional
men, who have made one particular
kind of jump their specially. For ex-
ample, there was the match with
Gregson, of Grimshaw Park, for ESQ
a side. The conditions were stand,
n cross, and four Jumps" That
Gregson was a specialist vas evidenced
by the betting, which was three to one
against Higgins for the cross, and ten
to one on him for the match. Higgins,
however, won the cross by one and
a half inches, and the jumps by nine
feet!
What may be called the athletes
most sensational jump is also shown.
His victim for this occasion only was
Mr.. Frank Munro. AS a rule Higgins
has to content himself with a paid I'm
derling as corpus vile, unless there
happens to be some one in the audi
ence burning for distinction. A chair
is placed on the table. and the as
sistant leans back with his elbows on
the table and the back of his head
resting ON the seat of the chair.
When all is in readiness, and the
audience suitably worked up, Higgins
retires slowly to the other end of the
stage. Here he dips his shoes into a
preparation of lampblack and oil, so
that his mark" may be proof positive
of successful accomplishment. Then
giving the usual preliminary leaps, and
carefully calculating distances with
his eye, he bounds into the air, lin

afterward exchanged shots with Sewer
| on the road tt Knoxville. 1t is not
necessary for the purposes of this his
tory to dwell on that point. 1t is
enough to say that he had a keen eye
for horselesh, and when three stall
wart backwoodsmen rode up with a
led mare whose slim TANKS, clean-cut
limbs and erect head showed her aris-
tocratic blood, he was alert at once.
81 want a horse to ride over the

"This is not my day for t%rading!'
said the tallest of the three backwoods-
men, as he dismounted and gave the
reins of his own horse and OF the led
mare to a young man, who, as if by
Encouragement, pushed out of the
crowd to take them.
81 will give you a hundred for her."
Il tell you it's not my day for trad
hunting shirt, briskly. Come, gen.
tlemen.'
With his companions he pushed
through the crowd to the court house
door with the air of a man who had
business there. To offers of "a hun
bred and fifty" two hundred" two
hundred and fifty" for the mare he
paid no attention whatever. The young
man in the eelskin cue, who had fol-
lowed him half a dozen steps to make
them, returned to the youth who was
holding the mare and began to ques-
ton him. At first communicative
to a degree, the young nan finally re-
Taxed and said, half humorously, half
fiercely:
"If you want to know who those men
are 1 can tell you. They are Maj. Jim
Cozby, Capt. Nat Evans and Capt. Jack
Gibson. They were over in this part
of the country once before when the
British were licking o people, and
now they have come back to see you
hang my daddy, John SEWER"
ALLOW me to shake your hand, sir!
I am pleased to meet you, sir, or any
other relation of Colonel SEWER" said
the North Carolinian. The truth is,
sir, that the gentry, who never were
anything but half Tories at best, have
taken possession of this commonwealth
and are trying to run it on royalist
rather than republican principles. In
the court house there now, your father
the friend Of Franklin, sir, and the
upholder Of the rights of man-is be-
Ing arraigned before a judge who
wears an imported London wig AMI
gown warranted to be of the exact
pattern worn on the Kings bench. And

him as If he were the lord mayor of
London. Republican institutions will

The number of cattle in stock in
Britain is given at $500, 497, of which
2,532,379 are cows and heifers in milk
or in calf, and 1882 3O are returned rs
being two years and above. AS against
the two preceding returns, COWS show
respective increases in number of TO-
704 and 1850; while the cattle Of two
years old and above present relative
decreases of 41,S27 and 0 8,295. OF
cattle which have attained the age of
one year there is a increase of 54,42S
over the return of 1896, and of 170,479
over that of 1895. AS compared with
the total of 1896, calves or cattle under
one year of age show a decrease OF
26,390, but present an increase of ST.
524 as against that of 1895. Pigs have
fallen considerably in number, being
536, 499 less than in 1896, and 542, 129
below the total of 1895.

RINGING A BELL IN FLIGHT.
gers for an infinitesimal period on his
subjects face, and then descends to
the stage on the other side. The or
deal past, the subject rises bashfully
to take that share of applause to which
the big smuts on his nose and eyes
entitle him.
Another illustration depicts MI. Hig-
gins showiest feat-jumping over IN
ordinary brougham. OF course, Hig-
gins does not leap off the ground clean
over the carriage; no human being
could do that. Observe the small table
2 #. 8 in. high, which is placed close
to the near hind wheel. Taking as
great a run as the stage will allow
Higgins springs lightly on to the table,
pauses for a moment, then rises with
an extraordinary bound right over
and across-the top of the brougham.
One opines that the value of the car
riage deteriorates nightly, mainly on
account of those dumb-bells, which are
discarded in flight. Often they fall on
the carriage and knock it about. Or
one will fall on a lamp, and batter it
somewhat. But it is a grand feat this
jumping over a full-sized brougham-
splendidly engineered so as to bring
down the house the moment the HUI
man Kagaroo" alights on the carpets
placed on the other side.
