One of the Most Romantic Spots i'm
North Carolina.

Hamilton Mcmillan, Esq, writes the
following interesting account of one
of the most delightful localities in
Cumberland county:
In one of the most romantic spots
in middle North Carolina is situated
Longstreet church in Western Cum
berland. Here in the years following
the disaster at Culloden came the sol
diers of Prince Charles Edward to
find an asylum from expressions
among the pine clad hills of Carolina.
The church is the fourth ediflce erect
ed on this spot since McAden preach
ed to the Highlanders in the fifties Of
the eighteenth century Here on
January 25th, 1852, assembled the
Carolina Boys under Captain Murdock
McRae MCLAUGHLIN. The day of as

muskets these volunteers marched to
Raleigh and rendered their services to
the governor OF more than 100 men,
who volunteered, not more than twen-

tlefield of Monroe's Farm, where
Wheeler's cavalry defeated General
Fitzpatrick in March, 1865. Cumber-
land veterans have selected Longstreet
for their annual reunion in September
of this year.
The exercises will be of unusual in

Making Bricks From Sand.
{ elizabeth Rconomist.N


In Scotland county, North Carolina
there is body of several hundred
acres of pure sand supposed to be the
deposit OF sand from some prehistoric
volcano. 1t is a peculiar sand. very
fine. free from impurities and con-
talns large proportion of silica
lime. The owners of the barren sand
waste are turning it to account in the
manufacture of bricks from the sand.
The manufacture of bricks from the
sand is no new idea in the Albemarle
section of North Carolina. The law
ONCE of Judge Heath, on upper Broad
street in Edenton. N. c., was built of
sand bricks made from sand procured
from Nag's Head, in the late fifties,
and in 1875, bricks in the building
were hard and well preserved Their
manufacture was patent process, and
a contract was made to build a church
of the sand bricks in Gatesville, N. c.,
but the Civil War, which came on soon
after prevented the execution of the
contract.

ROSE AFTER BURIAL.
Such Scene Occurred in Richmond
County Before The War.
(Laurinburg Exchange }

(Laurinburg Exchange.)
The Laurinburg correspondent of
the Charlotte Observer writes the fol-
lowing interesting article to his paper:
"Apropos the death of Senator
Roswell Hawley, of Connecticut, OH
yesterday, there is an interesting story
being told here to the effect that his
mother was supposed to have been
dead once, and was buried, and that
after her burial some robbers went to
her grave, dug her up and were help
ing themselves to her jewelry when
one of them, in taking a ring from
her finger, caused her to have con-
scious spell and they discovered that
she was not dead. In their fright they
left her and some neighbors in pass
ing discovered her condition and took
her to her home. 1t was after this
that young Joseph Hawley was born.
The old Stewartsville plantation on
which the Senator was born is now
owned by Mr.. Henry w. Malloy, of
Wilmington. a son-in-law of Squire
Peter McRae, of this place. Our older
citizens give the above story as au-
thentic.''
That such an occurrence really hap
pened is not to be doubted. but Mrs.
Hawley was not the lady who figured
in 1T. The above peculiar circum-
stances attended the supposed death
and burial of a Mrs. Lindsay. and the
child afterwards born was ordained
a Presbyterian minister. This occur
renee was many years previous to
Senator Hawley's birth.

at the time and had his door locked
but the laundryman concluded to go

promptly arrested and yesterday after.

Emmons County Record: Tuesday
two men were discovered out In the
Gus Benz neighborhood, near the
northern line of this county, acting in
a suspicious manner. They had a
string of horses, and were apparently
avoiding observation. A telephone
message was sent in from the section
house at the Soon. P. crossing, and
Sheriff Shier. John Roop and DR.. Roop
went out there. They got the men
and horses and started with them for
Hazelton; the men riding on horse
back and the captors riding in buggy
behind the prisoners, the latter lead
ing the horses. 1t was getting quite
dark, when the sheriff's team baked
and could not be urged forward. The
men got short distance ahead and
the sheriff halted them. Instead of
hating, they. cut the led horses loose
and galloped of across the prairie.
The sheriff took a couple of shots at
them with a Winchester; but it was
too dark for target practice and he
missed them. The seven horses wer,
recovered, but the n,en are still at
large.

The girl who 10 handy with her needle

and useful work. She need not be a
dressmaker to fashion the choicest of
blouses and frocks. Never was there
such a demand for handmade things. and
the girl who will give some time to plying
the needle may be just twice as smart in
her summer gowns as her richer cousin
who can have them all made. but who
does not know how to embellish them
This blouse model Is simple in construc-
ton and admirably adapted to hand en-
broidery or insets Of lace. The broad
tuck extending over the shoulder adds
breadth to the shoulder and taper to
the waist A second tuck at each side OF
the front gives the broad center panel
effect which iS very becoming to most
figures. A strip Of Mexican drawn work
might be set In the center of the front or
wheels Of the dainty Tenerife lace. The
popular English syelet work might serve
a. adornment or q design In the stuffed
IL always smart touch upon shirt

A SIckENING ACCIDENT.
Little Four-Year-OId fodder Manned
In Terrible Manner

In Terrible Manner.
st. Thomas Times: A most dis
tressing accident occurred on the farm
Of James Spangelo near Mclean last
Saturday morning. Mr.. Spangelo was
clearing a piece of land and used
traction engine and wire cable to pull
the stumps. He had started to pull
large stump and stopped to adjust
the tackle. When he attempted to
start the engine it was found to be on
dead center. The engine was revers-
ed and the cable sagged. When the
engine was again started, it went for
ward with jerk. The strain was too
sudden and the hook at the engine
broke allowing the cable to fly back
with terrible force and velocity.
Just as this occurred the little ones
OF Mr.. Spangelo arrived on the scene
with lunch. The cable struck four
year old boy across the face inflicting
most serious and painful injuries. The
cable cut through the little fellows
cheek, knocking away or breaking all
the upper jaw as far as the nose, the
tongue being cut in two lengthwise.
Two men who were working with Mr..
Spangelo were injured, but not seri.
ously. The injured persons were TAX.
en- to Walhalla Immediately and their
wounds dressed. In spite of the very
serious wounds sustained by the little
boy he is expected to recover.
