Arrested Cow Thief.
Messrs. Alonzo Rose aAdFrank sher-
er arrested a Negro cow thief from
North Carolina on the outskirts Of
Yorkville last Thursday afternoon.
The Negro, whose name was Sam Tate,
stole a cow from Mr.. Erastus Dixon,
near Kings Mountain during the
morning and started for South Carolina
with the animal. The theft was dis
covered within a short time after 1t
was committed, and three men from
the neighborhood set out in pursuit Of
Tate. They tracked the cow toward
Yorkville, and by means Of telephone
messages put Messrs. Rose and Sherer
on the lookout ahead. Tate spent
Thursday night in jail and on yester-
day morning he was taken back to
Kings Mountain.
Requirement to Teach.
Speaking of the case Of Cadet Gard
ner, referred to by Candidate Lowry
in his speech at Barnett's Mountain
last Monday, w. w. Lewis, Esq, OF
the board Of visitors of the South Car
olina Military academy, says that Mr..
Lowry probably misunderstands the
situation. Before a beneficiary cadet
can matriculate at the South Carolina
Military academy, says Mr.. Lewis, he
must give a bond to either teach for
two years after his graduation, or re-
fund to the academy the amount re-
ceived on account of his education.
Such a bond was required Of Cadet
Gardner, and at the recent meeting of
the board of visitors there was adop-
ted resolution, under which the board
binds itself to see that Mr.. Gardner full
fills his obligation to teach or pay. If
he fails to teach, it Is the purpose Of
the board of visitors to sue on his bond,
and the amount to be sued for will be
about $1,000.
Ross II All Right.
Charlotte Observer, Sunday: From
and after today, the Carolina and
North Western railroad Is to De Of
standard gauge. Upon this fact, all
the communities interested are to be
congratulated. AS a narrow gauge
road this line has answered a good
purpose in the accommodation Of the
people and the development Of the
country, but the towns and country
which it serves have outgrown a mar
row gauge and deserve the better facil-
tiles which they are now to have. The
good and growing town Of Lenoir Is
particularly interested in this change
Of gauge and Is hence to be especially
Naturally and properly
it Is to celebrate the event. We don't
know how the clever conductor be-
tween Chester and Lenoir. Captain
Ross, will like the new departure, nor
how he will look on a passenger coach
Of regulation length and width, but If
it suits him We hope the arrangement
will be made permanent and that the
road. having reached full staure, will
be pushed on into the mountains.
Railroad to Blowing Rock.
Lenoir News: We have it on unques-
tionable authority that the Carolina
and North Western Railway company
Is now in position to entertain rail-
road proposition to Blowing Rock. If
the people Of Wautauga and Caldwell
and others interested will grade the
road from Lenoir to Globe. David Mil
Ter place, or Mark Bolick place, near
Bailey camp, whichever place Is ad-
judged most available, the railroad
