want to redeem their best clothes be-
fore the new year. There are crowds
also who want to pawn other things
in order to get money to pay their
debts. ~FawnbrOkers receive high rates
OF interest. in which they are protect
ed by the government.

WASTE OF TALENT.
THE CASE OF WILLIAM MACON
COLEMAN.

THE CASE OF WILLIAM MACON
COLEMAN.
A writer from Concord, this State,
says:
when you read the name of William
Macon Coleman, how few now living
know or can, without reflection, call to
mind the gentleman who was at one
time the Attorney General of North
Carolina and afterwards minister TO
Stettin. Germany. He was educated at
Chapel Hill, studied law and at one
time thought seriously of becoming a
Presbyterian divine. Gifted beyond or
binary mortals in book lore, he turns
up at this writing as n contributor to
the Dallas (Tex) Mercury and The
Sycle, OF Conway. Ark. He and fam
lily have been living near Washington,
D. C.s for a number of years. His reli-
gious and political ideas are not at all
In accord with the doctrines of the
present day, but In every line he writes
he shows literary research and ability
,squandered and wasted. No matter
what he does or what he writes he will
not surprise those who have known
him from childhood. Gifted. cratic
and brilliant. out of date, harmless.
Can any one tell why such a talent
should be wasted?

said:
"A man named Conner was killed

Suspicion pointed TO a brother OF Con-

idea being that the brother-in-law had
committed the crime as revenge for
mistreatment of his wife OH Corners
part. The suspected man was arrested,
but proved that he was in Salisbury,
hfty-five miles from Catawba Springs.
In the early part of the night and also
shortly after sunrise next morning, and
as there was no railroad between the
two places, he was released, 1t being
considered impossible to make the trip
between the hours at which the defen-
dant was seen In Salisbury. On his
death bed, however. the Salisbury man
told how he had been provided with
fresh horses along the way and COM
mitted the crime and returned to Sails

early hour in the morning. He arrived
