Relic. of u Lost Tribe.

Moscow Correspondence of the London Standard.
A valuable archaeological find has just
been made near the ancient town Of Nov
gorod in the province Of that name, on the
banks of Lake linen. The articles found
include hundreds of flint arrowheads, spear
heads. axheads Of slate, flint fishhooks and
an enormous mass Of crockery and similar
fragments, ornamented in the same style
as those found previously in other parts Of
the same province. The discovery has been
made by NJ. Peredolsky Of the St Peters
burg University. a son of the archaeologist
who originally studied this province. and al
ways insisted upon the existence in the
neighborhood Of Lake linen of numerous
population during the stone age, a theory
which thus receives satisfactory proof The
articles found are all OF one class and date.
indicating the existence of a considerable
tribe. which must have either been wiped
out or have migrated to other regions be-
fore attaining any higher stage Of culture
than that Of the stone age.

Southern Spinning.
From the Atlanta Constitution.

The southern spinner is already, so far
as consumption goes, within a fraction Of
that of his northern neighbor. He is over
loaded In yarns, perhaps, In proportion to
the finished goods handled but there can
be no doubt of his coming up to the line
In short time. Diversification in manu-
factures as well as the filing OF special
orders, Is the secret of success. It is by
paying attention to these features that the
New England spinner now holds the van
tage. but there are southern spinners al
ready at work on the same line Every
spinner so engaged is making money. The
requirements of the trade are now greater
than ever

Another Ananfas.
From the Memphis Scimitar.


There was a crowd of calamity howlers
gathered in a hotel rotunda during the
great drought of the past summer, and each
was telling the other that all the crops
would be burned up and everybody would
starve to death. An old man, who has the
reputation Of being a man who can always
tell story better than the one just told,
put in his voice and said that the present
drought was nothing to the one they had
when he was a boy in Carl liny."
They all listened carefully to his wonder
full story of how so many people starved to
death, and how when they cut their bodies
open they found that they had actually
eaten grass before they died. He told the
story through without interruption, but
as soon os he finished one of his listeners
asked:
But why did they cut open their bod
ies?'
This was a poser for the old man, but
after splitting refiectiveiy at a spot on
the wall, he said:
why, to see what they starved to death
on, Of course
Then he wondered what they all wanted
him to buy the drinks for.

Indian Y0gls.

From the Indian Mirror.
What about the stories of Indian yogis-
confirmed by European evidence-who have
permitted themselves to be buried alive,
the grass to grow over their graves. and
have been dug out alive after an interval
of several weeks? There may still be liv-
ing some Of the men who saw Hari Dass
Sadhu buried alive In Lahore in the pres
ence of Ranjit Singh and his courtiers,
both European and native. Corn was sown
over his grave and special arrangements
were made to make communication by any
means impossible After the harvest was
cut the grave was opened before his majes-
ty and all his courtiers. and the Sadhu
was dug out in a state Of coma, animation
being gradually restored to him by his
disciples by some special process known to
them. There were European witnesses to
the phenomenon and some Of them have
left records.

Health Beport For June.

births reported as follows: Whole
number of births, So; white, %; colored,
13. Whole number of births, 19-white,

There were Is deaths under five years
of age, which is more than fifty per
cent of the whole number of deaths.
This leaves less than fifty per cent of
the deaths occurring at non-expected,
ages and relieves the seeming bad show
ing made upon the face of the report.
The temporary annual death rate per
one thousand inhabitants was for the

expenses of the institution. It's ex-
penses for June were over $1,000 less
than they were for last June.
Il think we can save the State in a
year not less than $4,000, and notwith-
standing the great loss we suffered
from freshets we will have the peniten-
tiary next January in as good financial
condition as it was last January
What was your loss on the farm by
the freshets?" was asked.
1T was very great. "At first it was
estimated at $4,000, but now we think
possibly half that amount will cover
it. The bitches were all filled up, the
dikes were destroyed and the following
damage was done to crops:
1--WE had LOO acres of cotton, 200
acres was destroyed, but most of it has
been replanted.
"Of 600 acres of corn, $50 acres were
destroyed. About 60 0acres have bee1
replanted, but we will not make more
than three-fourths of crop.
''Of 125 acres of oats, 20 acres were
destroyed. Loss total

THE bitches and dilles cannot be re-
paired until after the crops are laidby
in August. The work will be very
costly.
The board yesterday had application
fer 500 convicts to work on the new
railroad to be built from Marion to
Tennessee.
I'VE will let them have all we can
spare" said a director ut is our policy
to put out all the convicts we can at
profitable employment. We have about
closed up the shirt factory and we have
sold out the peanut cleaner. They were
too expensive. The shirt factory was
costing the State some $4,000 year
to operate. We have stopped all the
men from work in it and next week the
women will finish up the odds and ends
we have left and We'll close down for
good
The work of the board yesterday was
of a routine nature. The members hope
to finish today in time to leave on the
morning trains.

official comment is made as an induce

There never was a time when oppor-

pretty roughly this afternoon by a mob of
negroes returning from the ball game at
Southside between the Winston and
Greensboro teams. The conductor put
one negro off the car this afternoon for
bad conduct. This negro and some of
his friends watched for the car returning
from the park when a rock was thrown,
striking the conductor a severe blow in
the mouth. Conductor Moser drew his
pistol and went after the negro, shooting
every ball out of his pistol.
The friends of the negro followed the
conductor, overpowered him and beat him
numerically. He was stabbed in the
muscle Of one arm, stamped in the face
and otherwise roughly handled. The mo-
torman stopped his car as soon as possi-
ble and succeeded in running the negroes
away from the conductor. The negro who
threw the first rock was arrested to-
night. Officers are still looking for the
others members of the gang. Officers and
citizens are wrought up over the brutal
punishment inflicted upon Conductor

CHARLOTTE's WATER SUPPLY.
Important Matter Discussed at Meeting Of

Charlotte, n. c., July 5..-A very inn
portant matter was discussed at the
meeting of the Water Commissioners
this afternoon: An improved water sup
ply for Charlotte. The water supply
is sufficient for the present, but the
question of more water is to be a very
important one in the near future. The
water shed is east of the city. When
located there We're no dwellings, near the
shed. Within the past few years the
buildings have sprung up as if by
magic; Elizabeth College has been
built, and the Eastside, especially when
the car line is extended, will be as pop

self means change of water shed. The
city several years ago tapped Briel
Creek, and it is from that creek that
the additional supply of water will be
gotten.
