CURRENT COMMENT

All Of us would like to regulate
things in this world and think we
could do it to perfection. We see
young men focking to the towns,
leaving the farms to 60 to rack,
but this is a great country and
the young man has a right to
crafty his aspirations. With the
arrival of the commencement
prior there come the annual pro-
tests from various quarters over
the tendency toward adopting a
profession already overcrowded,
the line of argument being based
on the point from which the sltu-
alton is considered. Within the
last few years there has been un-
deniable tendenacy toward adopt
ing one of a half dozen professions.
Doctors and dentists, lawyers and
engineers have been turned out in
wholesale numbers, and their
number increases in greater pro-
portions annually. That this
tendency should be viewed with
alarm is not surprising, although
much of the fear appears to be
unwarranted. The opportunities
today may not be as great as for
msrly, but they are still there for
the man possessed Of ability and
willing to labor for success. The
man determined to win gains rec
ogndtion; the one contented to
drift along remains in obscurity
and views with alarm the advent
of more am bilious persons into
the field which he has neglected.

Negro Murdered Near Cleveland.

News was received here last
Thursday of the myterious death,
on the day previous, on one Will
McKathap. His absence from
home caused inquiry to be made
but nothing could be learned of
his wherea bouts. His wife while
stalking out a COW near plum
thicket q short distance from the
house discovered his remains,
which indicated he had been shot
twice in the head, and dragged to
the thicket by means of horse
hitched to his feet. Upon inves-
tigation by Coroner Dorsett it
was determined to arrest and
charge Elmore Phillips and Clyde
Lewis, step-chlldren of McKathan,
boys in their teens, and June
Phifer, all colored, with the crime
two boys first named admit hav-
ing dragged the man to the bushes
but claim that Phifer did the
shooting. Phifer claims that he
can prove an alibi. 1t is also
thought that McKathan's wife
had something to do with the
affair.

elected as follows: Holland
Springs, captain; 4 Walser, 1st
lieut.; Wade H. Phillips, End
lieut., The pew company will
belong to the Bird Regiment, if

cants may see Capt. Springs and
enlist within the next few days.
The company intends to go to
Wrightsville to encamp this

Ivey Frank, of Healing Springs
township, d'ed Saturday of lock-
jaw, caused from gunshot
wound. About d week prior to
his death Mr.. Frauk was riding in
a wagon, carrying q loaded shot
gun. By some means the weapon
was discharged, a portion Of the
load entering his arm, l.oc&jaw
followed in few days and caused
his death on Saturday. Deceased
was So years old. The burial
took place at Baker Springs last
Sunday.
Geo. F. Morefeld, Esq, was in
the northern part of the county
Sunday and tells US that Charles
Mock, an Arcadia township negro
who had recently moved to Davie,
was drowned while in the Yadkin
river Saturday afternoon. Mock
was in swimming with a party of
negroes and they say he was seiz-
cd with cramp; that he managed
to reach rock about the middle
of the river and climbed out of
the water on the rock. The other
negroes say they hallooed at
Mock. telling him to hold fast
uutil boat could reach him.
The cramp must have been severe,
however, as the negroes claim
they saw Mock draw up as if he
was in great pain and slide from
the rock into the river, where he
drowned before they could go to
his rescue The water was very
deep and the body was not recov-
cred until sun down Saturday
afternoon. A gentleman from
Arcadia who was in town Monday
says relatives of the drowned ne
gro are alleging foul play on the
part of the companions who we're
with him on Saturday. These rela-
tives say that watch and sum
of money Mock was known to
have in his possession when he
went to the river, are missing.
