A Fatal Draught.
Monroe Enquirer.

Monroe Enquirer.
A distressing accident occurred
at Mr.. Penney Stewards, in east
Monroe township, last Thursday
Some str Gimme 'ablets had been
put in dringklng glass and one
of Ste~art's daughters, aged
about 6years, poured some lemon
ade into the glass containing the
tablets and gave it to her little
three year-old sister, Ole, to
drink. After drinking the lem
onade the little girl went into
convulsions and died in short
time. The older girl took some
of the lemonade into her mouth,
but finding the taste bad, did not
drink any of it.

Killed by Lightning.

Gastonia Gazette: An unspeaka-
bly, sad tragedy called our towns
man, Captain j. A. Huss, to the
home of his brother William,
near Grouse, yestel day morning.
Tuesday afternoon, as was report
ed to the Charlotte Observer, Mr..
William Huss and two grown
sons were hoeing cotton in an
open field in front of their house.
A storm was ut hand; but it bad
rained little, and there had been
much thunder or lightning. Sud
denly the three men fell to the
earth and lay still. There was a
loud clap of thunder. Members
of the family ran to the PROSTATE
men, and found the father and
older son dead. The younger
son was unconscious. A pbysi
clan was called and every effort
was made to resuscitate him: but
in vain AT last reports he was
still unconscious, and his recovery
was not expected. 3

Catawba Falls Property Sold
Mr.. Finley's Wheat.
Cor. Yorkville Enquirer.

Cor. Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock Hill, June 2s.-Mr. F.
H. Barber, who owned one
sixth interest &C tract Of 400
acres of land at Catawb ba falls, is
happy in having gotten $4,000
for it. His interest cost him less
than 5000 ten or twelve years
ago. $21, 900 was paid In cash
for the tract. Your correspon-
dent could not learn the name of
the purchasers; but understands
a rich syndicate is the wner and
that the object is early develop
ment. The syndicate now owns
all the land on the western bank
of the river that is needful for
their purposes.
Congressman Finley was In
town today. Our correspondent
has been told that his wheat crop,
which was very fine before it was
cut and shocked, is in bad shape.
He will likely lose large part of
it. Some of the wheat shocks
have seen in other fields are grow
lag, and looking beautiful and
green.

need act be introduced except
where 1.-THE teachers aud trustees
deem their introduction feasible
and desirable. The adoption lasts
until July 1, 1906, five years and
as stated before no paw warrent
shall be issued t. any teacher who
uses in the public schools of this,
State any text books other thar
those named in the adoption"
There are, however, a number
of special school districts whicha
are Dot bound by this adoption,
the charters of said districts dele
eating that power to the local
boards Of trustees. This is the-
case with most of the gradedH
schools in towns and cities.
The selection of books by the
State board was made with view
to adapt the changes to the schools
in rural districts particularly.
The new adoption provides that
publishers cannot decline to ac-~
cept in exchange books now used
in the schools. There is a noder-.
ate differences in the price. For
instance a Second reader costing
"a cents may he obtained for 15s-
cents in cash and an old reader In.
exchange
The following figures, showing
the number of pupils studying the
the various branches of instruco.

Col Springs Loses Four Mules
and Four Others are Sick

and Four Others are Sick
The past week Col. Leroy
Springs has lost four fine mules on
his Erwin plantation. He valued
the mules lost at SITS. per head
and had refused $3.50. for two of
them. He has four theirs that are
very sick now. Friday he teIe-
graphed for the State Veterinary
Surgeon, who arrived Sunday. He
went out to the Erwin place and
made close inspection of the
stables and lot in which the mules
are kept and made the best dag
nosis of the cases he could-dis-
secting and making a thorough
examination of the bowels, intes-
tins and brain of a mule that had
Just died. He found the Stomach,
bowels, etc. in perfectly healthy
condition and pronounced the
trouble to be spinal meningitis.
He thought the trouble due
largely to the poor ventilation of
the stable, oats overhead in
heated condition and large
quantity of manure in the stalls
which also produced heat. He
left a prescription and is expected
t"return today t, note the effects
of his prescription.

Col " A Neal
Was Convicted
Former Superintendent of, State
Penitentiary Recommended to
Mercy.
The State, 3Oth ult.

The State, 3Oth ult.
Col. w. A. Neal has been found
guilty of the charge of failure to
turn over the assets of his Office
to his successor at the proper
time. The verdict is said to have
been rendered in accordance with
the law as given to the jury in
the charge of Judge Gary.
The case was given to the jury
at IL O'Clock yesterday and at 5
the court was informed that q
verdict had been reached. When
the jury had been brought into
court, a slip of paper was handed
to the clerk by the foreman.
This slip contained the verdict
which read: "The State against
w. A. Neal, Guilty, with recon-
mendation to the mercy of the
court. J. M. Van Metre, fore
man.
Col. Neal was in the court
room at the time. He did not
evidence any surprise when the
verdict was read. He crossed
over to his attorneys, and Mr.
Bogg gave notice of a new trial.
The court announced that the
motion would be heard Monday.
This is one of the few violations
of law in which motive is left out
OF the question, yet the penalty is
quite severe. The statutes declare
that public officer found guilty
of the charge in the indictment
shall, upon conviction, be liable
to fine of 81, 900 and .imprison-
ment for not exceeding twelve
months.
"Section 3O4" of the criminal
statutes of 1895 is the law under
which the indictment was based.
1t declares: cit shall be the duty
of every sheriff, judge of probate,
clerk of court of common pleas,
county treasurer aud any other
State or county officer, entrusted
with funds by virtue of his
office, upon retiring from Of
fee to turn over to his successor
all moneys received by him as
such officer, within 80 days from
the time when his successor shall
have entered upon the duties of
his Office" etc.
The features of the case yester-
day were the verdict returned
by the jury; Col. Nelson's scath-
ing criticism of the penitentiary
directors and of the committee
which investigated the affairs of
the penitentiary; the splepded
argument of Gen. Bellinger and
the charge of Judge Gary. After
the construction Of the law by
the Judge, the jury could not find
verdict of not guilty, and it
was thought that a mistrial was
the best Col. Meals friends could
wish for.
The State seems to have been
materially helped by the resort of
the defence to the plea that Col.
Neal was addicted to the use of
morphine. 1t appeared that this
was desperate chance for the de-
