FARMERS SAFE
Held 1000 In Cash.
Accumulation Of a Life Time Found
by the Widow Of Edward Elliott
Who Recently Died at 81.
A STRANGE STORY.
Atlanta Journal.

Atlanta Journal
A rusty old safe in lonely three
room farm house on the Mayson and
Turner's Jerry road has been hugg,ng
thousands OF dollars in greenbacks and
gold within its iron bosom for more
than half century. Yesterday morn
ing the doors of the safe were swung
back on the creaKing hinges and the
horde of wealth was exposed for the
first time to the wondering gaze OF the
heirs to the fortune. Later it was re.
moved in bags TO the big safety vaults
CT the Neal Loan and Banking COM
pany, where thieves do not break
through and steal.
The money, nearly 81 1000, is the ac-
emulation of years OF honest toll and
frugal living by Edward Elliott, who
died in December at the ripe old age OF
81 years. He was farmer and owned
two hundred acres OF rich land in the
vicinity OF the city dumping grounds
two miles and half from the union
depot. He inherited the land from bis
father and lived in the little farm house
close to the public road since his boy

The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1900-02-08

There were fewer lynchings in this
country during the year 1899 than in
any year for the past fifteen. Every good
and trle citizen deplores 1ynching of
any kind, and especially were some in
this country most horrible. The whole
number OF lynchings for 1899 have
been summed up to be lO7. OF these
1O3 were In the South, one in Penn
sy.uania and three IN Kansas. OF the
victims 81 were negroes and % whites.
1t Is to be hoped that whateyer the
provocatlon, the lumber of lynchings
Will grow smaller every year until the
regular course of law shall finally deal
with evey criminal.

Doubtless it will be a surprise to
many to read the statement that tn ere
Is country in the world in which 1t
is considered crime to smoke. But
such is the case in Ably ssinla. The
Penny Magazine tells in paragraph
that the law forbldding the use of tob-
acco there dates from 1642. It was
first merely intended to prevent smok-
ing in the churches, but it was taken
too literally and now even foreigners
who smoke there at al, have to DO SO sub
rosa, as it they were still school-boys.
Many new ideas and things are be.

Is principal heir to the fortune, perhaps
Is 79 years of age. Since the death Of
her husband she has lived almost alone
in the cottage with the iron safe aud
its precious contents, her only compan-
Ion being a granddaughter Is years Of

that the safe held the big store of gold,
though she knew her husband had saw
ed money during his lifetime.
On the ADVICE of her lawyer, Mr.. Je.
ome McAfee, who feared that the cur
rent rumors of the deceased farmers
sayings might tempt evil persons to
crime In search of the wealth, she sent
Tor an official Of the bank yesterday
and in the presence OF the attorney,

and several relatives opened the safe,
the combination of which had been
left to her by her husband before his
death.
