who some years ago was coal-black
man, is now as white as any member OF
the Caucasian race.
About 10 years ago Dolph began to
notice small white spots on his body. in
marked contrast to the general coal
black appearance of his hide. These
gradually became larger and more nu-
merous, but without any Inconvenience
or pain, until the spots appeared on his
face and hands.
In q few years he was wonder to be-
hold, his face presenting the appear
ance of having been whitewashed in
spots. The white splotches gradually
enlarged, however, until for the past
few years Dolph has been a white"
man from head TO foot. the only intima-
ton that he was once coal black c. til
zen, being few black spots about the
size of q 10-cent piece on the top of his
head and smaller ones on the back of
his neck
Dolph is an industrious citizen, and
can be seen at work here almost any
day. being a plasterer by trade, and
while he has long since ceased TO at
tract the attention of Newton people, a
few years ago, when he was about ''half
and half, T" he never failed to excite the
interest of strangers. Never during the
whole experience has Dolph suffered
any Ill effects from his exception to the
rule that the Ethiopian cannot change
his skin, despite the general belief that
as soon as he became entirely colorless
he would die. He is now almost 90

McLaurfn mt Greenyille.

1t gives us pleasure to be able to
present in full today. the speech that
Senator McLaurin delivered at Green
willie last Wednesday, and we desire to
commend it to the careful considera-
ton of all our readers.
There has been a systematic effort to
make it appear that Senator McLaurin
is trying to organize new Republican
party in this state. The effort has been
based upon the fact that Senator Nc
Laurin has been one of the Democratic
senators who have had the courage and
manhood to vote with the Republican
majority for certain measures that he
considered conducive to the welfare of
the country at large and of South Car
olina in particular, instead of voting
with the Democratic minority merely
for the purpose of obstruction. In his
speech, published today, he explains
each vote and tells why he entertains
the views for which he has been so Sc
verely criticised. He makes 1t clear
also that instead of leaning toward Re-
publicanism, he holds more tightly
than ever to the Democracy of Jeffer-
son, Calhoun, LowndeS and Cheves,
and that he would have our people to
more zealously guard their own inter-
ests instead Of allowing themselves to

THE vAGRANCY ORDINANCE.

There is a marked difference nova
days in the state of public order COM
pared with what it was formerly, and
the change Is for the better.
I'VE have not done a thing" said
Chief of Police Love on Monday, "since
last Tuesday. 1t is getting so dull
about here" he continued jokingly;
that I am beginning to have fears
for my job"
What is the trouble?"
. mo drinking, no rowdyism, no loaf
ing, no nothing but beautiful quiet"
"And no liquor selling?"
"Still some; but they are right quiet
about it. The town Is certainly dryer
than it has ever BEEN"
ITO what do you attribute this state
of affairs?"
"Principally to the vagrancy ordi-
nance. In getting rid Of so many loaf
ers, we have broken up a lot Of gamb-
ling, liquor selling and blind tiger run
ming. OF course, these things have
not been entirely stopped but there
has been a considerable check to them
There Is no doubt Of the fact that the
absence Of the idlers has much to dc
with the general quiet that seems to
have settled down on the situation.

CATAWBA BRIDGE GONE.

/The Carolina and Northwestern
railroad, which escaped serious injury
on account Of the recent floods, came In
for it's share of damage as the result
of the rains of Monday and Tuesday
which were particularly severe In the
mountains of Western North Carolina
During Tuesday, about one hundred
feet of the bridge over the north fork
of the Catawba, at Cliffs. went down
putting a stop to all traffic and entail
ing heavy loss. The new hotel that
had just been erected on the river BANK
at Cliffs for the entertainment OF sum
mer recreation seekers, was also de-
molished and almost entirely washed
away. From information procured or
Thursday it was thought that 1t woule
be impossible to replace the bridge II
ten days, and the work may require
two or three weeks. In the meantime
trains from below will go no further
than Hickory.
The washing away Of the Cliffs hote
will interfere seriously with the plans
of the company interested in that en-
terprise. 1t had been arranged that
commencing next Monday, there would
be a change in the schedule Of the pas
senger train that would make the
Cliffs hotel. regular dinner station
1T was proposed to run on through te
Lenoir and return, after stop Of but
few minutes, to Cliffs. where there
would be a wait of about an hour be-
fore the resumption of the trip south.
Although the Cliffs company has
been hit a pretty hard blow by the dis
aster described, it will probably go on
with its enterprise in accordance with
original intentions, except the work OF
rebuilding the hotel may possibly De
delayed until next spring.

IT will be remembered that on the
breaking out of the South African war,
and for months thereafter, there was a
very appreciable rise in ocean freight
rates. 1t was because of the fact that
Great Britain had occasion to call up
on her merchant marine to transport
troops and war material to South At
rica. Thus the American people, in
Guiding the cotton producers Of the
South, were taxed. and are still taxed
on account of that war. But this In
cident is only circumstance to what
would be the result if an European wal
would break out. Having practically
no merchant-marine Of our own, we
would be unable to secure transporta-
tion of our ocean freights at any price
Even the recently purchased Leyland
line, a mere drop in the bucket, would
not be availab BILE, because under British
registry and the British flag, it would
belong, in case of war, not to US. but tc
Great Britain.

PATH OF THE CYCLONE.

The cyclone which did so much dam
age in Catawaba township last Tues
day morning, passed on to Fort Mill
and wrought additional ruin in that vi
cinity. The Charlotte Observer, of
Wednesday, tells the story as follows:
Persons who were awake at Fort
Mill, S. c., yesterday morning at 6
o'clock, saw coming from the south,
what they termed a black spot or
rapidly-moving cloud. There was a
rumbling in the air and a great mass
Of debris was swept on with the cloud.
The cyclone struck the plant Of the
Charlotte Brick company, which Is To-
Gated on the river, about two miles be-
low Fort Mill, and tore off the shed
on the several large buildings. Half a
dozen mules in a shed were pinned to
the earth by the falling timber, but
were not hurt. A cow, in a stall close
to the mules, was killed, and a large
number of chickens and turkey COB
bier in the sheds were also killed.
Mr.. T. B. Gautier, general manager
Of the company, who lives in a house
close to the plant, saw the cyclone
which he describes as terrific. Mr.. S. S.
McNinch, of the firm, left Charlotte for
Fort Mill yesterday. Mr.. B. D. Springs.
also Of the company, will reach that
place today. The machinery Of the
plant was not injured. The company's
office building was torn away, leaving
inside only the safe and the flooring.
