HYDROPHOBIA'S VICTIM.
Horrible Death of Eleven Year
Old Boy-Terrors Caused by
Mad Dogs.
Newbern journal.

Newbern Journal.
Ten weeks ago Preston Ogles
by, the 11-year old son of Mr..
Levi A. Oglesby, of Wildwood, a
small station on the A. & n. G..
Railroad, in Carteret county, was
bitten by mad dog, and last
Saturday he died with hydropho>
bia, the result of the dogs bite.
The story of the dogs wild
rush through the village is horri>
BILE in its train of terrible results,
and that one animal can cause
such destruction only proves the
danger which is possible to come
from dogs.
The story of this mad dogs
running and biting is as follows:
Some ten weeks ago this dog
came rushing through Wildwood,
and biting a horse, a hog and an
OK. These animals died within
three weeks.
The horse was bitten through
the nose, and while feeding, after
wards, the matter from the horse s
nose got into the feed in the
trough which some chickens ate.
The chickens were seized with
spasms and nearly died.
A chicken belonging to a colored
family was killed by the dog, aud
the family ignorantly thought to
save the chicken by cooking it,
and the whole family died from
eatingit.
Young Oglesby, who died Sat-
urday, was bitten on the face, but
the wound had healed and the
boy vas thought to be all right.
But Friday last the boy became
sick, and death came the next
day, as related above.

NEGROES AND WHITES
MEET IN BATTLE.
Armed Negro Miners Under Ed
Ellis Lose Four-Members of
"Knights of Africa"

Birmingham, Ala, June 27.-
Three negroes are dead and one is
not expected to live until morning
as result of u Iiot between the
white and negro miners at the ore
mines near Cardiff in Jefferson
county.
The races came to a clash in the
late afternoon in Glasgow Hollow,
where the negroes congregated,
armed with Winchester rifles. A
white man passing along the road
was held up and roughly handled.
This news soon spread, and an
armed body of white miners
moved toward the hollow. 1t is
supposed that they went around
by circuitous route in the noun
taius and came upon the negroes
unexpectedly. Ed Ellis, the ring
leader, armed with rife and
Colts revolver, fell at the first
volley. A rife bullet did the
work. There was another volley
and four of the other negroes tell.
Jim Dill and Adam Samuels died
in few minutes later, being re-
moved to a negro house. Geo.
Thomas was shot through the abdo>
men with a Winchester bullet. He
is not expected to recover.
Rudolph Williams will live.
The trouble started yesterday
when it was thought that John
Shepherd, who, on last Wednes>
day afternoon assaulted Mrs.
Monroe Jones near Corona, was
in that community. The negroes
armed themselves to prevent his
capture. Both sides were aroused
and only the timely arrival of a
sheritf's posse prevented an OUT
break. This morning tho negro
miners held a mass meeting and
refused to 60 to work. They all
belong to secret organization
known as the "Knights of Afri-
ca" or the "Mysterious Ten. :"
They keep rifles and ammunition
on hand at all times. 1t was in
the afternoon that they gathered
in Glasgow Hollow, although with
what intention is not known.
Influential citizens say that the
ringleaders are now out of the
way, and they hope to manage
the negroes. Ed Ellis, the head
of the band, and holding the chief
office in the secret organization,
made speech to the negroes just
before his death telling them
not to believe what the white of
ticers had told them, and swearing
that he, for one, would get even
with Sheriff O'Brien, who, yester-
day, at the point of a shot gun,
ordered him to disperse his gang.

MURDER IN GREENVILLE
COUNTY.
Special to The State.

Greenville, June 27.-On Sun
day evening, two miles above
Marietta, there was fatal shoot
ing affray between Tench Cox and
Prioleau Sutherlin, two well
known young men of the upper
section of the county. There
seems to have been very little
difficulty between them before the
shooting commenced, and they
were accounted close friends.
The killing occurred in the
public road in front of Zion Bat
sons house about 6 o'clock.
Deputy Sheriff GiIreath and
Coroner Wilbanks were notified
hy telephone and they reached
Marietta early Monday morning.
An inquest wss held with Matthew
Gillespie as foreman of the jury
and DR.. NJ. l.. West ss examining
physician. The body of Suther-
lin was found by the coroner just
as he fell, lying on his side and
with a pistol in his hand. Two
balls from a 3S calibre pistol were
found on the person in the left
side and back, one evidently fired
AS Sutherlin was ree'ing. The
jury returned verdict of death
by pistol shot at the hands Of
Tench Cox, and that said killing
was wilful murder in the first de =
gree.

Tabernacle Dots.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I will again try
to give you some of the happen
ings in the Tabernacle neighbor>
hood. The health of the COM
munity is very good ut the pres
ent. We know of only two or
three cases of sickness in our en-
tire neighborhood.
The farmers are looking some-
what better since the. recent
showers. The sad look that was
seen in almost every face, while
drought continued, snow changed
into a pleasant smile, and the
farmer goes forth with renewed
energy and high courage, to bat
tie with General Green" who,
has become bold enough to assume
the aggressive.
Crops are in very promising
condition except where there was
failure in securing a good stand.
Gardens are generally backward,
although there are some e1cep-
tiOns TO this. Our wide awake
and energetic preacher, has q
very fattering prospect for a fine
crop of cabbage, beans, squashes,
cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. We
would say just here that while he
is most successful gardener that
he is, in our opinion, one among
the ablest preachers that the coun-
try affords. He always has the
privilege of speaking to a large
congregation and never fails to
receive the most careful attention.
The young people were given
a very pleasant and enjoyable oc,
casion on Saturday night at the
parsonage. There were several
young people present and all
seemed to ENJOY the occasion very
much. Quite a nice little sum
was realized from the sale of the
nice and delicious pies that were
furnished by the handsome young
ladies Of Tabernacle and surround
ing community and after this
came the most important feature
Of the occasion, "supper, which
was served in q most enjoyable
manner, as the young men after
buying the pies proceeded to find
the owner of his purchase, who
was to share with him in eating
the luxury. The boys say that
the pies were sweet but that the
girls were much sweeter. Young
cupid had pierced the heart OF
one of our best Young men, SC
deep, that he became very absent
minded and on arriving Fat the
parsonage and seeing his best Cir
there he just dismounted and
tied his bride reins In very
neat manner and turned his horse
loose, thinking at the same time
that he was tieing him to a pine
tree, and in all probability would
have gone home without thinking
of his horse again, had not an
other young man been kind enough
to tell him what he had done.
Quite a number of our people
attended services at Mt. Prospect
last Sunday. The Rev. Allen
McFarlan, of our circuit, preached
two very able sermons.
Our young men seem to have 8
great deal Of trouble with their
bicycles. On last Sunday evening
two Young men wishing to go to
church, thought they would make
time by both going on one bicycle,
Having gotten we'll started dowr
hill, they failed to guide it a.

great was the fall, the one ir
