"A husband should spank an un-
rully wife; it is his right to do so. -
Thus rules the asture Judge
Mandell, of Detroit, Mich. The
case in which this ruling was
made illustrates the faulty of
the ruling A man named
Sobke had petitioned the court
to restrain his wife from beating
him. And the Judge informed
the man that the best thing he
could do would be to take his
wife across his knees and admin
lister the slipper to her. If it
had been IN his power to do so,
would he have been likely to ask
the court for protection? The
Judges theory may have some
thing in it, but it makes all the
difference in the world whether
the husband or wife has the
stronger arm.

Sunday at the Seashore.

Commencing Sunday, June
5th, and continuing throughout
the season the Atlantic & Birm-
ingham Railway will make it
convenient for the Irwin County
public to spend Sundays at those
peerless Seashore Resorts, Bruins
wick, St. Simons and Cumber-
land, by putting on a new train
which will run from Fitzgerald
to Brunswick and return, giving
almost the entire day at the
Ocean. This train will leave
Fitzgerald at $50 a. m. and will
arrive at Brunswick HOO a. M;
returning will leave Brunswick
at 700 p. m.
The fare from Fitzgerald to
Brunswick and return on this
train has been fixed at 5000,
which is so low that it will be
within the means of everyone to
spend at least one day during
the summer at the Seashore.
A sufficient quantity of the
very best equipment will be furn-
ished so that everyone will be
comfortable. Arrangement
have been made for a special boat
to connect to and from this train
for St. Simons Island. The
short boat ride will be one of the
features of the trip.
Each of these trips will be in
charge of a competent passenger
Agent, whose whole duty will be
to look after the comfort of our

Ashton was literally crowded
last Sunday with colored people,
all gayly attired and in fine spir-

ion meeting which was in session
several days.

charge of this section (No. y of

awarded the premium that was
offered by the company to the

competitors was an increase of

Capt. Byrd is a man of sterling
qualities and would succeed any
where.
Quite a large lumber of our
citizens took in the fish fry at
Minnie last Tuesday. Their
greatest pleasure, it seems, con-
sisted mostly in extracting the
numerous and various kinds of
fish from the big mill pond there,
the latter having previously been
relieved of most it's water. The
writer admits his ina bility to
give anything like a just account
of all the fine fish caught,
and the fun and frolic all had on
that occasion, and he will not
attempt it.
Mr.. Matt D. Young who re-
sides about six miles from here

the misfortune to lose his home
by fire last Saturday night. The
house and it's contents, including
the furniture and all of the fam.
ily's clothing, were consumed,
indeed there was nothing saved
from the flames. The dwelling
was nice one and only recently

THE CORPSE CAME TO LIFE.
A Case of "Chici<ie, My Chickle. MY
Craine, My Crow" i'm Actual Life
At Hickory.
Especial to News and Observer


Hickory, n. c., August For some
time there have, been repeated at
tempts to burglarize stores in this
place, and considerable excitement
was caused by these raids. Last night
the policeman on duty around the
square discovered suspicious signs
about the rear of the George w. Hall
Company's store. He Immediately
summoned certain resolute spirits to
join in the capture Of the burglar.
They advanced boldly UP the rear
street and discovered man engaged
in removing one of the glasses from a
back window of the store. The COM
pany presented arms at once and the
night air was rent by a loud volley.
With a deep sepulchral, groan the ne
gro for it turned out to be negro.
fell to the ground. The party rushed
UP in time to see him gasp his last.
They concluded that it was advisable
to see whether he hadt any accomplices
in the store. Accordingly they dragged
the body out under tree and went
into the store where they found no
traces Of burglars. The dead man evil
IDENTIFY regarded this as game OF
"ChicBie, my chickie, my cranie, my
crow" At any rate, when they came
back the negro was gone" They
reasoned that dead man would not
be likely to travel far and made q
search about the premises, but all in
vain. So they dispersed firmly con-
vinced that the corpse had played
them Il low down trick.
Some light was thrown on this
dark and bloody mystery however,
This morning, when boot-black
named Major casually remarked
that boon companion of his was in
disposed and carrying his arm iii a
sling. The Majors dusky compan-
ions roundly denounced him for his
indiscretion and in due time knoWl-
edge of these things reached the ears
Of the Chief of Police, who invaded
Bobtown the colored settlement,
whence he soon returned bringing the
corpse in custody.
The negro, whose name is Jim War
lick, says it was a mistake about his
be ing dead and all the evidence indi-
Gates that his view of the matter is
correct. He has a slight flesh wound
in the arm. Mr.. Warlick will have a
hearing before the mayor, unless IN
the meantime. he accomplishes anoth-
Ell mysterious disappearance or dies
and stays dead. His slayers are in
clined not to discuss the subject.

Asheville, N. c., August superior
court for the trial of criminal cases
convened here this morning with
Judge Fred Moore. of Asheville, pre-

should have presided over the present
term of court, but owing to the illness
of Mrs. Shaw an arrangement was ef-
fected between Judge Moore and
Judge Shaw whereby the former
should hold the court. 1t has been
generally understood here that Mrs.
Shaw had so far improved as to per-
nit Judge Shaw to be here this week,
but the arrangement of exchange OF
the two judges which had previously
been made for Judge Moore to hold
the court was adhered to.
There are a number of important
cases to be tried at this term of court,
among them two murder cases, one
burglary case, an embeZZlement
CHARGE, and the indictment against
Magistrate d. III. Reagan for malfeas-
ance in office. The two murder cases
are John Nicely for the killing of Jake
Corpening, which occurred on Noun
tain street one Saturday night a few
weeks ago, and Corpening Garrett for
the murder of Amos Greer during the
month of June, Greer having been
killed with a bowling alley ball
thrown by Garrett. The two men
charged with burglary are DICK ana
Horace Johnson, who, several weeks
ago. burglarized several residences and
