HER MIND.
Ten Minutes Before Troth Was
Plighted She Fled With An
other Man to the Altar.

Clarksburg, w. Va, July 10
Out of the west a young Lochin-
var came yesterday-not on a horse,
but in a buggy, and he carried away
| with him the bride-to-be of another
man just ten minutes before she had
plighted her troth. The audacity of
the elopement created CONSERVATION
and the wedding aghast and amazed.
In all of Randolph county, famed
for beautiful women, there is none
whose confines excels that of Miss
Ivie Thompson, daughter of John
Thompson, one of the best known
citizens in the State. She had suitors
by the score, and when Philip III.
Wolfong won her he was the envy
of all the young gallants within a
hundred miles.
The wedding was set for yesterday
afternoon at 5 O'Clock. The guests
were assembled and the bridegroom
came with the venerable Clergyman
who was to make him the happiest
man in West Virginia. A few min
utes before the appointed hour, and
as the guests were looking for the
bride and bridesmaids to appear,
there was a sudden commotion in
front of John Thompson's house.
A horse drawing a buggy and
driven by William R. Rennix had
stopped there, and the bride, evil
IDENTIFY by Encouragement, ran down
the steps, and placing one dainty
slippered foot on the step, sprungin in
to the carriage. The whiplash fell
on the horses back and he started
off on a gallop in the direction Of the
railroad station. Wolfong reached
the door in time to see the buggy
turn a bend in the road. Calling to
his prospective father-in-law, and
mounting a horse as quickly as it
could be saddled, he started in pur-
suit.
The rowels were dug deep in the
TANKS of the horse, but by the time
the pursuers reached the station the
train was pulling out.
The clippers went to Cumberland,
and today a new license was taken.
The beautiful girl who was to have
become Mrs. Wolfong, changed her
name to Mrs. Rennix, and without
an explanation as to the sudden
change in her affections.

Arrived Yesterday Evonlng. He Stood the
Trip Splendidly.

Mr.. c. G. I.atta, who was so seriously

thought to be fatal, arrived home yester-
day evening by the IA train on the Sea-

station by Dr. Hubert Haywood and a
number of friends, who were delighted
to see him looking we'll. He shook
hands and chatted with them from the
car window.
He was lifted on stretcher from the
car to an ambulance and taken immedi-
ately home. Mrs. Latta and Mr.. Allen
Ruffin, of Hillsboro, who had gone to
New York for the purpose, accompanied

How much of the "real good thing the
Democratic Convention of Wake county
missed at its meeting yesterday 1t will
never know, and because of this those
who We're in the secret are sad, forsooth.
It is to be regretted that the long time
spent in hearing the reading of the re-
turns, to which very few listened, kept
the convention in session so long that
opportunity was not afforded for the
various candidates nominated to be
heard. All the legislative candidates
were prepared to make eloquent speech
es; Bill Russ had one of his latest and
laugh provoking jokes on tap ready to
make all the boys grow fat; Capt. Page
was ready with the same brief and APP
nropriate speech of thanks he has been
in the habit of making; Capt. Williamson,
wearing the freshest boutonniere, had
a spicy speech he was anxious to un-
load: Capt. Bernard was waiting the
call "to arms" to salute the convention
and thank them for their partiality to
him; Mr.. George w. Atkinson, 1.-The war
horse of Rhamkatte," had prepared an
instructive speech showing that the
tariff is the paramount issue Che has
maintained that in 1896 and 1900 when he
stood almost alone) and the other can
didates were also ready with brief and
eloquent speeches of acceptance. The
delegates to yesterdays convention will
never know how much uncorked elo-
quence they missed because they took
four hours to nominate one commission
err. He ought to be a good one. it took
so long to name him.

The Beautiful
Sapphire Country.

Il have never dreamed there was any
spot half so lovely outside of Switzer-
land, said prominent banker who re-
turned last week from Western North
Carolina
Where did you go?" l asked
ITO the Sapphire country, of course"
he said. THAT is where everybody goes
now since the Toxaway company made
the work of nature accessible to travel
ers 1t is as grand and glorious a panor-
anna as the world has furnished, and is
now as accessible as transportation over
railroads and macadam roads can make
it. That was always lovely country
the dream of artists and poets-but until
the Toxaway company discovered it, so
to speak, it was so far removed from the
lines of travel that only a few persons
visited it. Now, how different! A rail-
road from Henderson to Brevard carries
you to Breyard to the delightful Frank
lin Inn. 1t is a model hotel-none bet
ter in the White or Adirondacks You
stay there all night in a pleasant room,
enjoy delicious fare, and then start over
the fine macadam road through the
magnificent Sapphire country. Every
mile you come to some new vista of
beauty. thinking that nothing more love-
ly can lie beyond. No other region con-
tains, combined with such wide-sweeping
mountain views so many grand water
falls and such beautiful lakes. The no.

The most interesting of the many at
tractive features to be found are the
Fairfield and Sapphire Lakes Nowhere
else in the South, at this altitude, are
there such bodies of water. All who
visit these lakes are impressed with the
wonderful beauty and greatly varied
character of the scenery There arc
towering cliffs. rising abruptly for &
thousand feet from their shores. and
cascades of rare beauty falling directly
into the lakes from the lofty table land
surrounding. Indeed, it is the general
verdict of widely travelled people that
in respect to the remarkable combination
and varied and attractive character OF
lake and mountain scenery, this section
is unrivaled by any in the world. Certain
ly no other part of America has anything
to equal it.

Once Prosperous Merchant
Blows Out His Brains.
A Swilchman at Charlotte Sends a Bullet
Crashing Into His Body, lnficting a
Mortal Wound.
Especial to News and observer.)

Charlotte, N. c., Aug. 2.-Despondent
over the pranks that fortune has played
upon him, Samuel Taylor, once the most
prosperous merchant of Salisbury, ended
his troubles this morning by blowing out
his brains. Taylor entered the store of
the Rowan Hardware Company early this
morning and asked to see some pistols
Several were handed him for inspection
and then he asked for cartridges. The
clerk thinking he wanted to purchase the
outfit, complied with the request and
Taylor, before any one could interfere
placed the muzzle of the weapon against
his right temple and fired. He fell to
the floor and expired instantly.
Taylor had suffered severe business re-
verses for several years past and this
is presumed to have been the cause of
his rash act. He was fifty years old and
leaves a family.
Chatting under the burden of some
trouble, either real or imaginary, OF
which his family and friends know moth
ing, James p. Baker today made des-
perate attempt to take his own life.
Baker visited the house of a woman ac-
quaintance this morning and appeared
respondent. He remarked to the woman
that he was tired of living and intended
ending it ALL
Shortly after noon while the woman
was busy around the house she heard a
pistol shot and rushing quickly to the
room where Baker had been resting, she
found him weltering in blood, though still
conscious. A physician hastily summon
ed found that the bullet had entered be-
tween the fourth and fifth ribs and had
passed through the stomach. The victim
cannot recover. Baker is a swtchman
in the local passenger yard of the South
ern Railway and has family
Major j. G. Harris, for many years
one of Charlotte's leading merchants, is
critically i'll and his death is momen-
tarily expected. Since retiring from
business Major Harris has been living
at his country home, three miles from
Charlotte. He is prominent in the city's
social and religious circles and has for
many years been an elder in the First
Presbyterian church.
The books of the county treasurer
which were audited today, show that
Mecklenburg county has to its credit

of year.
