Green, a young white man, who does
draying here, was murderously as
saulted tonight by two men. supposed
to be negroes. The skin was torn from
the side OF his forehead by what was
probably a glancing blow with o
heavy stick and his nose was smashed
between the eyes with some Jagged In

splintered the bone and tore deep
ragged hole into the uppes passage Of
the nostrils. Green was under the in4
auence of whisky during the after
noon and at the time Of the assault
was in front Of the city guard house.
So far witnesses are scarce and the
wounded man Is not in condition to
tell anything about the affair. Only
one eve witness has been found-a
small negro boy who works at the
bottling works-he was coming along
Black street and when he came In sight
Of the guard house saw the end OF the
affair. Green was scuffiing with two
men, whom the boy says were negroes,
and when they separated one struck
Green with stick and the other threw
something, after which they both ran
Off No clue has been gotten yet as
to the assailants. Green's wounds are
being dressed and are not supposed to
be mortal though quite serious.

Mr.. ]. Barnett Fewell is one Of the
farmers, who believes in the old time
way of Giving at home" His fine
7lace, eight miles north Of the city
md near the Catawba Power compa-
nv's plant, is well stocked with those
things which make life a comfort. In
addition to those articles OF food,
which he raises by cultivation. the
beautiful original forest which stretch
as away from the back Of his home to
the river a mile away Is full OF squir-
~el and o'possum. The former play
unheeded on his barn yard fence and
rNuld at any time be shot from his
door. This he does not allow and the
frisky little animals, who make their
home near the house are sacredly safe:
Farther away, though, Mr.. Fewel
hunts some and allows his friends to
do so. He generally has several fine
"possums" in captivity where they are
fed on corn and their wild flesh chas-
tened for the feast. Wednesday even
ing a party Of eight was invited out to
this home for supper The good wife
had three fine o'possums ideally pre-
~ared and surrounded by the luscious
w indispensable sweet potatoes and
the favored "stags" who were the
guests had a lovely time. After supper
the party went out for a very brief
hunt and returned in fifty minutes
with another fine 'possum, captured
near the river. The guests were Messrs.
