HE CAME BACK.
CLOSE CALL FOR CLARK.
How He Knew He Wasn't
Dead.

Thomas H. Grishham, Press
dent of the board of managers
of the Dodge City Soldiers
Home, told a reporter Of the
Journal last week story about
an old soldier named John Clark,
who came near being buried
alive. He had been Ill a long
time with typhoid fever, and
lapsed into a comatose state and
was pronounced dead, Burial
robes were placed upon him and
he was tenderly placed in cas-
kct to await interment on the
following day. During the
night he regained consciousness
and rose up in his narrow pris
on. He upset the coffin and
was sent sprawling on the floor.
In CONSERVATION one attendant
rushed into the room and re-
treated, declaring he had seen a
ghost. Then other attendants
came. St:inulants We're quickly
applied, the limbs and body of
Clark rubbed with alcohol. He
soon opened his eyes After
careful attention and nursing he
recovered entirely, and today
tells the story OF his narrow es-
cape from being buried alive.
Nj Grishham has talked
with Clark about his strange ex.
perience
Tell me-" said Grisham to
Clark one day since the dead
man came to life, chow did you
feel when yoll died and how did
you first know you were alive?"
"When | appeared to myself"
said Clark, "to be dying, the ex-
perience was a very pleasant
one, | seemed to be entirely free
from trouble and to be passing
into a new realm. When | be-
gan to recover consciousness I |
found myself III what seemed to
be a coffin, but | at once knew
that | was not dead because my
feet was cold and | was huns
gry.'
II don't understand what you
mean" said Grisham.
II knew" replied Clark, "that
if | were in Heaven | would |
not be hungry, and if | were in
hell my feet would not be cold"

WILMINGTON AROUSED.

The pulse Of feeling in Will
mington again bats quick and
hot with the fever of excite>
ment. The bill introduced by
the Hon. George Rountree, the
member of the House of that
city, amendment the City Char
ter, was the cause of the out
burst Of feeling as manifested in
the mass meeting OF citizens
held on the 18TH inst. A dis
patch says The spacious Court
room was crowded to suf1ocatiG II
with WilmingtOn's representa-
tive citizens, who gathered to
take action in regard to the
new charter introduced in the
General Assembly a few days
ago by Representative Rountree.
The amended charter embraced
in Mr.. Rountree's bill was draft
ed by a committee appointed by
the Chamber of Commerce, and
while expressing the views of
TWO hundred business men it
has not met the approval of the
balance Of the citizens Mrs. w.
E. Springer presided at the
meeting Stirring speeches were
made by several prominent men.
A set of resolutions was drawn
up and adopted, protesting
against Mr. Rountree's bill and
setting forth as the sense of the
meeting that the people should
vote for their choice for mayor,
chief Of police, city clerk and
chief of fire department as the
primaries, and expressing strong
disappoval of the police CONS
mission provided by Mr.. Roun-
trees bill. The resolutions set
forth also that the citizens must
in future govern this city, and
not ring politicians.
On motion, a committee Of ten
citizens-two from each of the
FIVE ward-was appointed tc
draft a charter along the line ol
the resolutions, which will be
submitted to the Citizens IN mass
meeting, and after approval be
forwarded 10 Raleigh for intros
duction in the General Assem-
bly,.
"The meeting was an enthus'
/ iastic and harmonious gather
ing, and displayed plainly the
intention of the citizens gener'
ally to have good government
There has been considerable
feeling for some time agains
the Chamber of Commerce fo
having the amendment charte'
| introduced in the Assem- bl,
before submitting it to the citi
zens."

A Crying Need.

It is both d triment and a
disgrace to the State Of North
Carolina that a reformatory for
Youthful criminals has not
been established before this.
What is best to do with that
class of our youth who by evil
tendencies or evil associations
are growing up as criminals is
a question on which all who
have studied the matter are not
agreed, but we find them all of
one mind IL one thing, and that
is that a hideous wrong is COM
nitted when young men are
locked up in the same prison
aud forced to mix with men whe
have been criminals all their
lives.
It's to be hoped that some
wise and benehcient Legislation
will be at once enac5ed by the
General Assembly.
By all means do what you car
you gentlemen who are now
making our laws, to help those,
although fallen may yet bs
saved-Rocky Mount Argonaut

TWO AGED LADIES PERISH
IN THEIR BURNING
HOME.

In the Ruins

Durham, N. c., Jan. 3o-At
an curly hour this morning On

and Polly Garden, two aged
maiden ladies, were burned to
death III their home. A negro
by the name Of Luke Rigsbee,
while on his way to work short
ly before sunrise, discovered the
house to be On fir. and gave the
alarm. He went at once to the
scene, and upon arriving there
found the west end OF the roof
falling in. II was impossible
to enter the burning building
on account Of the fame and
smoke. In the ashes of the
burned dwelling were found
two Charred skeletons, those of
the ladies mentioned above.
One OF these, which IS supposed
to be that Of Miss Polly, was
found at a point Immediately
between where two beds stood.
The other one, supposed to be
that of Miss Nancy, was found
at a point that would have been
very near the middle of the
floor. The two ladies', who
were 81 and 65 years Of age re-
spectlvely, had lived on Mr..
Woods place for about twenty
years. Miss Nancy the oldest
one, had been sick tor sometime.
Both were in very reduced cir
cumstances, and but for assist
ance of friends, could not have

If they had all cues

us a'gallon Of big ho,uiny-o old

l read in the last "Home and

and if I was a farmer | would
try it. This was in Kentucky.
where a man planted it in well
shaded forest of beach aud dog
wood and gum trees, and 1t grew
both from the seed and the
roots that be planted and gave
him good crop. It's market
price is S. pound. 1 know
that it could be grown in this
mountainous region, among the
foothills. | know a good farmer
who makes money growing tur
nips for their seed, and he sells
all his crop to Peter Henderson,
Of New York, and Peter sells it
back to us a. 500 per cent pro
fit Any smart, Industrious wo
man could make money right
here by growing roses and hot
house plants. Our people senC'
off lots of money for such things
and some of them are no account
when they get here.
Nobody around here has ever
raised any asparagus to sell, but
they buy it in Atlanta at Is
cents bunch and bring it home,
or they buy it canned from the
grocer at IS cents. A man in
Marietta grows it by the acres
for the Atlanta market and
makes big money. Why not
grow it here? Shifty is the right
word we must be shifty if we
wound keep up with tie pro-
gress of the times. Wit and wis

but necessity is the mother OF
invention and continuance. We
must get out of the old ruts and
