TWO WARNINGS TO WIFE BEATERS.
Landmark
A report comes from Maxton that
John Thomas. colored. who lived near
there, fell dead few days ago while
chastising his wife with leather strap
Negroes In that community. it Is said, are
very much wrought up on account of
the incident and attribute Thomas death
to some supernatural avenging agency
This is parallel to the case of Will
loughby sawydr, of Statesville, who
dropped dead in Statesville two months
ago while correcting his spouse, and is
another warning to wife heaters; and if
wife heaters are being punished for their
sins it is not probable that all the pun
ishment viii fall on colored men, as this
pastime is by no means confined to that
race.

Fried His Trout in Rattlesnake Oil.
(Hendersonville Hustler.)

Judge Ewart with James b. Ewart and
j. H. Ripley have just returned from a
successful fishing trip in the brook trout
streams in Pennsylvania county, and the
upper edge OF Greenvile county, S. G.
They report fine weather and fine catch
ing. With lots of the speckled beauties
they brought back the skin of large
rattlesnake which they killed near the
State line.
Judge Ewart tells the following good
one ON Mr.. Ripley:
ION taking the snake back to camp it
was stripped of its fat, which was rend
cred and put in a tin box, it being, it Is
said, an infallible remedy for rheumatism.
This box Jim Ewart put on shelf IN
camp. During the day the campers
usually separated, some whipping one
stream, some another. One day Ripley,
returning to the camp before the others
and being very hungry, made up a fire
and proceeded to fry some of his catch.
While looking for the lard he spied the
box containing the rattlesnake oil, and
not knowing the contents, supposing it
to be lard, he proceeded to fry his trout
and made a hearty meal of same. And
it was not until the return of the other
campers that he discovered that he had
fried his mess of trout in rattlesnake OIL =
Since that time Mr.. Ripley's appetite
for fried trout has perceptibly diminished.

COLLEGE CAN AND OUGHT TO BE
CONTINUED.

The action of the Raleigh District Con-
ference Of the Methodist church, publish
ed in yesterdays News and Observer, not
only pleased all the Methodists in the
State. but gratified as well all friends of
education. The conference unanimously
resolved that it was the duty of the one
hundred and fifty thousand Methodists in
the State to save the oldest college estab-
lished by the church and they set influence
IN motion to continue the college, if the
owners will sell to the church at the
same price at which they offered it to the
trustees of Trinity College. There is no
room to doubt that they will do this.
1t would be humiliation to North
Carolina Methodism to see Greensboro
Female College pass from the church.
The district conference at Louisburg
sounded note of hope and cheer The
college can be held by the church. II
will be held by the church. To suppose
otherwise is to display lack of knowledge
of the spirit of North Carolina Methodism.

Rev Mr. Davies supplied the pulpit
in the Congregational church, last
discourse on Character Building."
Mr. Davies home is in Unionville, your
correspondent was told. 1t is to be re-
gretted that so few were out to hear
the sermon and also the fine singing.
Ii. w. Greene sang a solo which those
who have listened to Mr. Greene'S voice
will know was good. Miss Beatty of
Boston gave as the offertory zone
Sweetly Solemn Thought" and
brought tears to the eyes of many, as
her voice is ''sweetly sympathetic"
There was also a trio by Mr. Greene,
Miss Wallace and Miss Beatty. At the
Christian Endeavor meeting Miss
French rendered a solo very nicely.
The season is nearly over and we shall
miss the sweet voices from the summer
school, but their reward will be the
greater by and by for the many plea
SAINT hours given for the pleasure Of
the people here, and sometimes at their
own Inconvenience, too.

mains about the same.

There is strong rumOr, emanatlng
from source that gives 1T show Of
probability, that the special New
Haven-New Milford train will be con-
tinued another season. There is no
question that the patronage will in
crease another year, as the charms of
Newtown, Brookfeld and New Milford
as summer resorts are better known
by New Haven people. The putting
on of this train speaks volumes for the
management of the Consolidated, who
are prompt in giving the public the
best of service where there is any show
of fair returns. 1t is the popular
thing to raj against trusts and cor
porations, but here in the Housatonic

better service than in the old Housa-
