Not Spirits, But RattleS.

Believing her house to be haunted,
Mrs. Isaac WelbOrn, wife of a farmer
of the Roundstone neighborhood, per-
suaded her husband to tear up the
hearth in the sitting room, for she
had heard strange noises so long that
she could not sleep.
A nest of rattlesnakes was discover
ed, coiled as in a ball. Mr.. and Mrs.
Welborn heated a kettle of water and
poured the water, boiling, into the nest
of snakes. With a pair Of tongs Mr..
Welborn lifted out the rattlers, ~ in
number, varying in size from six
inches to nearly five feet
MRS. .Welborn said the snakes had
been annoying her all winter. Every
time a big fire was set going strange
noises were heard and persons who
visited the Welborn's ceased their Wis
its and at last Mrs Welborn was
stricken with ervou prostration.
Now she is neutrality-suspicious.

FAYETTEVILLE GALA WEEK
Pearce Amusement Company Opened
Last Night-Work On New Cotton
Mill-The Raleigh and Southport
Railroad-News and Personal Notes.
Especial to The Messenger.)

Especial to The Messenger.)
Fayetteville, April 1.-THE gala
week Of the firemen and merchants
began here last evening by tn first
exhibition of the Pearce Amusement
company at the Ball Parz on Giles
pie street. Those who took in its at
fractions speak highly of their merit
and it is doubtless one Of the best
travelling companies of the kind. The
voting for the queen of the carnival
will close on Thursday, and her coro-
nation. with selections of the maids
of honor. will be among the closing
features of the week. The crowd may
put in an appearance later in the
week but it is certainly not here yer.
The fact is. all the community is rot
with the gala week movement; many
are Indifferent, while others posi-
lively oppose it The experience Of
the street carnival some years ago
did not gain supporters of this form
of amusement and the additional OBJ
lection is now urged that the late dis
astrous fire put the city in bad trim
for a gala week.
The work is now going On in laying
the foundations for the new cotton
mill of the Power and Manufacturing
company of Raeford in the western
part of the county.
The new iron Eccles bridge, on
Green street is. completed for 10th
foot and carriage travel, and is a very
handsome structure. Fayetteville has
many attractive streets, but none more
SO than Green is now, with the impos-
ing Confederate monument on St.
James Square at its northern extremi-
ty, and the iron bridge spanning the
beautiful stream Cross Creek.
The o Brick company will aid
another plant to the extensive one
in operation. The machinery
has been ordered, with a capacity of
10000 or more brick per day and the
new plant will be at work in about
sixty days.
President Mills of the Raleigh and
Southport railroad states that trains
on this road will be running into
Fayetteville some time in June. Ger
tainly by midsummer.
AS Mr.. Alex. Bolton and Henry
King were coming into town today
with a cart and mule. and while
crossing Phoenix bridge, the mule be-
came frightened, and backed agains.
the hand railing breaking it down,
and going over with the cart to the
embankment 10 or Is feet below.
Messrs. Bolton and King jumped IN
time but were bruised by landing on
the bridge. The mule was badly in
jured and the cart wrecked.
Mr.. w. e. Bateman. of Winston,

FROM SHANGHAI TO MANILA
Company Connects These Offieea
History of the Laying of the Cable.
Especial to The MeSseng

Especial to The Messenger.)
New York. April 1.-THE Shanghai
and Manila Offices of the Commercial
Pacific Gable company are in COM
munication by the new cable. Mes
sages between the president Of the
United States and the emperor and
empress dOwager of China have oeen
excha1g ed.
The laying of this cable finishes
the work commenced by the laying of
the Commercial Pacific cable from
San Francisco to Honolulu and con-
tinued by the laying of cables between
Manila and Honolulu by way of Guam
and Midway. Nearly 10. miles of
submarine cable have been made and
laid in an average depth of 26O faith
oms. The greatest depth found on
the line of the cable was 3,49O faith
oms, approximately four miles. The
laying of the cable to China was de-
layed by the political upheaval in
China and later by the war between
of Portsmouth, the work was taken
up dSdlLl duu Tic OulI0u OLdCcS Is uO"
in communication with it's Pacific
Ocean possessions and with China by
means Of the cables of an American
company, operated by American oper-
ators and touching only American
soil as desired by the government at
Washington. The China end of the
cable from Manila is laid far up into
the estuary Of the Yangste Kiang.
The cable ship, which laid the main
part of the cable was unable to ma
neuver in the estuary, therefore the ca
bic already laid was cut and buoyed
and the cable ship proceeded to Woo
sung where an intermediate type Of
cable designed for ShOaling waters
was transferred to a smaller ship.
Also the heavy shore end some
what unusual owing to the shallow
ness of the water. the necessity for
accurate location and the u~nfavora5le
character Of the weather which pre-
vailed during the operations.
The shore end is led into a hut at
Paoshan. : From Paoshan the line is
continued by underground wires to
the Commercial Pacific company's
Office in the city of Shanghai, the
principal part of central China, il the
immediate neighborhood of the rich
est silk and tea districts and the dis
bursting point for the whole of the
Yangtse valley with its one hundred
and fifty millions Of population. About
a million tons of American shipping
enters and clears there annually.
The same organization and methods
that have not only met, but have an
ticipated the requirements Of the pub
lie for cabling facilities between Gu
rope and America is applied to these
Pacific cables.
Mr.. George G.. Ward, vice president
and general manager of all the Com
mercial cables is now in the far east
to confer with the government cfi-
Gals of China and to inspect the Few
cable stations.

SHOCK FELT IN SACRAMENTO
No Serious Damage Done There.
Tracks of the Southern Pacific Road
Disappear From View.

Sacramento, Cal, April 18.-Ths Sc
veres1 earthquake felt in this city in
many years occurred at 5:13 o'clock
this morning. Buildings rocked like
cradles Many clocks stopped. No
serious damage was done here. A
few cracks were. discovered in the
stone postohice building. Slight dam
age was done to some brick buildings.
Telegraph and telephone wires ara
Frustrated between Sacramento and
San Francisco. and no communication
could be had with San Francisco this
morning. Chimneys and watertanks
were shaken down at Suisun, Solano
county, and at Tracy, San Joaquin
county.
A short time after the shock a mes
sage came from Suisun Solano coun-
ty, stating that a long section OF
Southern Pacific track had disappear
ed from view. 1t was learned later
that at one place between Sprig and
Teal Stations in the Suisun marshes,
for a distance Of one mile and a half
the track had sunk three to six feet,
and at another point near one thous-
and feet of track went out Trains
which were dispatched for San Fran
cisco had to be brought back and sent
by the Lathrop route.
The track sunk by the earthquake
is near the place where a loaded pas
senger train came near going out Of
sight.
There are great crevases On each
side of the track through the marshes
and it is reported hat a great ocean
of water has flowed owe the low
lands between Suesun and Benecia.
A short distance below Suesun, a
Southern Pacific switch engine sank
into the ground for a distance of three
feet, not far from where the tracks
disappeared.
A railroad dispatches said the
shock was felt as far east as Hazen,
Nevada. about 80 miles beyond Wads-
worth.
A hotel in the town of Co~llinsvil,e,
the Sacramento river, was wrecked
by the earthquake shock. No n
was injured there.

American NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
in the Governors Offce-Chartersi
by the State-Other Raleigh News
Notes. |


Raleigh. y. G., April Is.
The number of convicts now at work
on the Raleigh L Palmico Sound Rail-
way has reached 100, an equal number
are pushing the grading ON the Ra-
leigh & Southport Railway.
Five charters were granted today,
among them being one TO the IredeIl
Telephone Company, headquarters at
~Statesville, capital stock $4,000, j. II.
Weston being the largest stakeholder;
the Cement Block Company, Salisbury,
$4,000, j. j. Kincaid and others stock
holders; The Bradford Knitting Mills,
inc, Statesville, 100000, J. A. Brad
ford principal stockholder; The Co
lnmbia Laundry Company, Greensboro,
100000, X. y. Hadley and others
stockholders; The Patterson Manu-
featuring Company, incorporated, Of
Salisbury, is authorized to increase its
capital stock from 100000 to 100000.
Pending the improvements in the
Offices of the governor and private sec
secretary, these officials are tempor-
arily occupying the office Of the state
treasurer, who is out of town. Steel
filing cases are to be installed in the
Office of the private secretary TO re-
place the old and cumbersome ones of
wood which have been there for SO
many years.
AT the state school for the white
blind here a number of improvements
are in progress, the cost of these being
met from the fund of $4,000 specially
appropriated for the current year.
These include an iron fence of grace
full design around the block on which
the buildings stand, this being known
as Caswell square, and the install
alton of a refrigerating and cold stor-
age plant. There will be some other
minor improvements.
1t is said by persons who have been
travelling a good deal in the rural dis
idiots that they eve saw the farmers
work harder. The sheriff of this cOun-
ty remarked that they were doing
every thing they could do" OF course
they are behind hand in their work on
account of the wet March.
Surprise and disappointment are both
very freely expressed here at the de-
clinatiOn by Ex-Governor AycOck of
the appointment a S commissioner to
the Pan-American Congress to meet in
Brazil in July. 1t is felt here that
this is not only a compliment to him
but to the state as we'll.
The tip is given that the school book
fight will be the hottest you ever
saw" 1t begins to look that way. The
advance guard of the book agents has
appeared, but seems to be merely look
ing around to see what will be the
possibilities. Book contracts this year,
for the next five years, means some
thing for it takes a lot OF school books
to- supply North Carolina now.
State Chemist B. w. KilgOre is on a
tour of inspection of all state-soil test
farms, which are reported to be in
very excellent condition indeed.
