DR.. H. J. Warren, who some
time ago built plant OH th'
Catawba river for securing gold
by dredging, was here yesterday
accompanied by Col. A. H
Ryan, of East Orange, N. J
1t is said that since DR.. Warner
began dredging operations HI
has brought up some rich sane
and that his plan is proving sue
cessful.-Charlotte Observer.
Mr.. Wise Wescott tells us o
second crop that a peach tree
at the home of Mrs. NJ. V. Wes'
colt, is now bearing. A crop O
peaches came in due season anc
now pumpkin of good sizc
swings from the tree, the pun
kin vine having climbed the tree
and run through its branches
The pumpkin is growing to con-
siderable size and is held up by
extra suspensions.-Southpo
Standard.
We have been asked can Judge
Brown get the endorsement OF
his own county sol1dly for AssO-
ciate Justice of the State Su-
preme Court. If those who ops
pose him were to come on: and
fight him it will be doubtful il
he can carry a majority of tie
democrats Of the county. He
has grown less popular in recent
years. 1t is our purpose to dis
cuss the reasons of our views at
the proper time Washing ton

1t is encouraging to learn that
the Chinese are behaving we'll
since the withdrawal Of the
troops of the powers and are re-
storing order in Pekin and the
neighborhood with considera-
bic success. Much has been
done to repair the damage done
by the fighting and by the use
less raids carried on by the Ger
mans who came too late 20 fight.
After all the future of China is
largely in the hands of the
Chinese.
There seems to be a counters
felt esta blishment around in the
country somewhere. Several of
our people have lately found
spurious silver dollars in their
cash drawers, and several have
been passed upon different pri>
vate individuals. The counters
felt is very fair one. 1t has the
right ring but will not bear close
inspection, as it is too light in
weight and too light in color.
We would advise all to keep a
lookout for these spurious coins.
And now the clique that
sought to besmirch the name of
Admiral Schley, headed by that
,oncelted ass, Sampson, and sur
founded by patronizlng subal,
erns, can tear their hair, rend
heir garments and repent in
sack cloth and ashes-for their
allure. For this blot on the
glorious record of the American
navy i'll the recent war with
spain somebody-the respousi>
Die persous-ought to suffer. |
The motives that prom pied the
lefaming Of Admiral Schley are
omewhat akin to the motives
hat sent Capt. Dreyfus, of the
french army, to Devils Island. |
