Asked to be Suspended.

Chief of Police T. L. Becknell,
was suspended today at his own
request, until the charges brought
against him be either proven or
d%isproved.
Some time ago an investigating
committee was appointed by the
city council to examine into the
city's affairs. Very grave charg-
es were brought against Chief
Becknell. When the committee
made it's report to the council,
Chief Becknell arose and said that
he had not been permitted to ap-
pear before the Investigating COM
mlttee and he appealed to the
police commissioners for a hear
ing. This hearing will be had in
a few days.-Greenville, S. c.,

After showing that the bills IN
question were handled in an in

says: "The amount of work per-
formed by the office during the
first session of the 59th Congress
exceeded by approximately three
times the amount Of work per
formed at the preceding long SEES

by 5 per cent. the amount of work

Captain Surprises Pirates.

A plan to hold up the British
steamer Manning, which trades
between Canton and Wuchow, has
been frustrated. A gang of dis
guised pirates boarded the steam
er at Canton, and were reinforced
in numbers at way ports. Their
numbers aroused suspicion and a
careful watch was maintained.
At the first sign of restlessness
the captain threatened to shoot.
This prompt action led to the ar
rest of three of the ringleaders,
" no yer delivered to the British
consul at Wuchow.
There is al alarming increase
of piracy in Chinese waters, and

Must Start as Child.

A triumph of surgical skill IS
the case of Amos Abbott, aged
twenty-six, OF this place, When
he was about two years old he
fell, striking his head against a
sewing machine. His skull was
fractured and the boy became an
imbecile. He was strong physl-

The young man was taken to the
Reid Memorial Hospital at Rich

two and one-half inches long and
two inches wide was removed.
The brain was uninjured. He

MUSHROOMS KILL STOCK.
Many Horses and Hogs eat Of the Plant
and Then Die.

A curious allment has attacked
stock in this section of the State.
Many horses and hogs have died
from it. The wet weather has
resulted in an enormous crop Of
mushrooms, and the crop is per-
%sistent, as the rains have followed
each other from day to day since
the early spring. Cattle and hogs
are fond of mushrooms; and as
the stock roams the ranges no
discrimination appears to be made
between the varieties that arc edi-
BILE and those that are poisonous.
At first the farmers began to
find sick hogs in their cattle yards.
The sickness was generally fatal.
Then horses began to be attacked
by a strange disease and several
died from it. 1t was noticed that
those which were affected had
been permitted to run the range
or on old pastures. Those kept
in the barn escaped. Finally ex-
aminations of the carcass after
death Were made and the mush-
rooms eaten we're found to be the
cause of death. Farmers are keep
ing their horses III the barn now,
or on pastures that are watched
carefully to see that the poison
Gus mushrooms are not present.
The crop during the present hot,
damp spell seems to be larger
than ever.-Southern Pines spe-
cial to Charlotte Observer.

Trained Veterinarians Needed.

It is singular that the scientific
study of disease of our domestic
animals has been so neglected.
Here and there only has a man
undertaken to prepare himself for
the practice of the veterinarian.
1t is yet a fine field for the ambi-
tious man. A good veterinarian
in each county in this State would
have a better field than the aver-
age medical doctor. The igno-
rance and cruelty that have been
practised Oh our dumb animals
under the guise of doctoring them
is astonishing. It is the belief of
veterinarians that stock would be
far better off if let entirely alone
than served as it has been the
custom to serve them. The keep
er of a livery stable or the most
ignorant horse trader has been
the man supposed to know most
about the disease of horses, and
the average one of these is usually
entirely ignorant of the physio-
logy, anatomy and cause of dis
eases in stock. Being ignorant
not only of these things, but also
of the nature and effects of drugs,
these men have given the faith
full dumb brutes a hard time. In
nine cases out of ten they apply
the most vigorous treatment on
an entirely erroneous-diagonsis
And the faithful animals cannot
protest. Hail to the trained
veterinarian! May he increase in
