around Pleasant Ridge still make that
fruitful region for the deputy collec-

was called to that community Monday
afternoon to oficiate at a demolishing
ceremony about two miles west of
Pleasant Ridge. One still and eight
fermenters were so put asunder that
man can hardly join them together

the opinions filed by the supreme
court last Tuesday was that in case
of State against Phons Rhyme for the
murder of Mr.. T. G. Falls. The de-
fendant is granted a new trial. Upon
what grounds the opinion was based
we have been unable to learn. '''''''''
Within the past few days, Mr.. T. NJ.
Rhyme, of Costner, who, by the way, is
one of Gaston's best farmers, has lost
$40 worth of fine thoroughbred Berk-
shire hogs. They died of peculiar
disease and Mr.. Rhyme would be glad
to know what it IS and what should be
done about it. They did not appear
to be sick more than two or three
minutes. The disease seemed to at
tack suddenly and kill quickly. The
hogs were in good condition, and
would eat heartily in the morning and
be found dead before night. In one
case he noticed that fine brood sow
failed to eat at dinner-time and died
before dark. Mr.. Rhyme says the
hogs had no cholera he doesn't know
what the disease is. What do the
stock doctors have to say about it t?.'''''

and the plant was running in full
blast. One of the operators, a young
white man, spied the deputy as he
crouched behind clump of bushes.
Mr.. Loftin pulled off his hat to better
conceal himself; but he was in his
shirt-sleeves. The watcher stretched
his neck up turkey fashion and eyed
the white among the bushes, peering
now on this side and now on that.
Satisfied that be scented danger, he
turned, and said to his comrades,
Let's run boysp' And they did. AS
Messrs. Loftin and Huss lunged
through the laurel down to the plant,
they caught rear sight of three necks
and three pairs of flying heels. They
found supplies of eggs, ham, pie stuffs
and other delicacies out OF which they
prepared sumptuous meal, of which
they ate heartily, washing it down

water handy if they wanted it.
