A Queer Runaway Marriage.
(Laurinburg Exchange.)

When couple elopes to get married
it is usually on account of refractory
parents, but a widower and a widow
who were married here yesterday eloped
on account of their children. The par
ties were Mr.. d. A. McRae, a prominent
farmer of Richmond county. and Mrs.
Mary E. Clark, of Moore county.
They had been lovers when they were
children in school together, but through
some pitiless fortune they had been sep
arated When the groom's wife died and
the brides husband, the undying love
was again kindled, which drew the sur
vivors together. The courtship went on
for some time "unbeknowins' to the
children, of whom Mr.. McRae possesscl
seven and Mrs. Clark three; but when
they came to terms and decided to marry
at home, the children on both sides the
house raised such a rucus that it was
wisely decided to postpone the ceremony
Mrs. Clark went to Raeford on visit
and her lover wrote to her to meet him
in Laurinburg. They came together at
the Glenn Hotel yesterday, and in the
presence of Messrs. J. c. Morgan, j. II.
Morgan and John Chisolm, they Were
married by DR.. ]. M. Rose.

selves in as awkward situation as the

Tom Dixon's Story.
(Lumberton Argus.)

That is a good joke Tom Dixon has
played on Mrs. Stowe in Transforming
her brute of a stone, Master Legree,
, unto one of the reconstruction scalawags
, who plundered our fair State genera
ton ago. Dixon's novel, we believe, is
destined to do much toward giving the
people of the North, as we'll as our gen
Grafton in the South, a clear conception
of the conditions prevailing during those
troublous years, or as Doctor Kingsbury
would say. those ''parlous'' times imme-
diately succeeding the Civil War.
Dixon is a genius from any side we
view him, but vacillating one. First a
politician, being elected member of
the Legislature before he was old
,enough to vote; then for short season
an actor; next a preacher, beginning his
pastorate at Goldsboro, and rapidly ris-
ing till he reached Fifth Avenue Bap-
fist Church, New York, whore he soon
leaped to a sensational pulpit of his own
making, only to abandon it later for a
lecturing career, and finally turning up
as a novelist.

Ben. r. Tillman, Jr., a soft-voiced.
clean limbed athletic young man, stood
at McLaurin's side while he was calling
Senator Tillman liar and was within
arms reach of the junior Senator when
his father jumped impeteously over
Senator Teller's legs and landed his fist
on McLaurins eye.
The young man, whose title to she
privilege of the floor is drawn from the
fact that he is his fathers secretary,
kept his eye on McLaurin's hands. If
the junior Senator from South Carolina
had drawn a weapon he probably would
have become participant in the fight.
AS it was, he merely looked on, thus es-

young man who knows his place. 1t was
