home on that plantation last
Monday. Two young white men,
j. ii. Lance and X. O. Lambert,
book agents, representing @. II.
Robinson & Co., of Charlotte,
are charged with the killing.
Hood was shot through the heart,
with pistol ball, and died in
stantly. One of the young men,
Lance, was shot in the left arm.
with a shot gun.
Immediately after the shooting
the young men hurriedly lett,
crossing the North Carolina line
and going to the home of Mr.. j.
+. Austin, who lives in the vi
cinity of the town of Waxhaw.
where Sheriff Hunter, who went
In search of the parties as soon as
he heard of the homicide, found
Lance, the wounded man, Mon
day night. Lambert had left MIR.
Austin's before the arrival of
Sheriff Hunter. Owing to the
serious nature of Lance's wound,
the Sheriff was unable to bring
him to Lancaster. Physicians in
attendance said that Lance could
not be removed even on mat
tress. Sueritf Hunter, therefore,
had to return here yesterday
morning without his man, but
before leaving him made arrange
meDts for his safe keeping.
Magistrate j. d. Griffin, act
ing coroner, held an inquest over
the body of Hood Monday night.
The verdict of the jury charges
Lance and Lambert with the
killing. The trouble between
Hood and the book agents was
about claim the latter went
to the formers house
TO COlleC'. III Is Salu that the
difficulty began when one of the
agents went to the mantlepiece
to take down a clock. Lance
claims that Hood shot at him
first, the load striking him in the
arm, and that he then fired on
Hood in self-defense. Hoods
widow however, il is reported,
says that her husblnd did not
shoot at all-that Lance was shot
by his companion, Lam bert. The
real facts will probably not be
known until later.

"Wfy Can't we Do It?"
Timely Question Surveyor
Belk Propounds to all In
terested in Good Roads,
The Macadamizing of One
or Two Miles Next Year
Suggested--M .Belk's Lib
eral Proposition.

MT Edltor: why can't our coun-
ty build one or two miles of
macadam road the coming year?
The chain-gang has been cut
out IF the county's expenses with
a saving to our county of about
two and one-half thousand dol.
lars annually, and with the in
come upon our hired criminals
added our county is about three
thousand dollars better off each
year.
Why can't we use this amount,
or part of it, to build better
roads?
So far as know, our county
has not yard of graded and ma.
cadamized road outside of town
limits, while MeckIenburg Coun.
'y, n. c., just little north of
us, has 243 miles OF graded, ma
cadamized roads-more than t
of that county's entire public
road mileage. WIZ can't we
make beginning some time?
Or course we can, but why not
now?
Ii our County Board can see
its way clear financially to spend
few thousand dollars even on
better roads, would like to
suggest one of two places to be
gin. First, the Redfeld road
from town limit to Mellow place;
and second, the Gills Creek hills
on the Chesterfield road.
The first named section of one
and one-fourth I'D miles is the
levelest and perhaps more travel
ed than any road leading out
OF town, and would just be con-
tinuance of the macadamized
WORK that was recently done on
East End to town limit. This
section OF road has but one bill
hat would have to be cut down
the Mellow hill--and could
be shaped and macadamized
from town limit to the parting
of the Red6eld and Chesterfield
roads for about two thousand
dollars. There could be one.halt
the road bed macadamized
and the other half left
dirt for dry weather or it
could all be macadamized as the
board saw fit.
The second section comprises
three bad hills on ellis creek 5
miles east OF town and the
st aightening of the road and
the making of a new road to les
sen the grade for about + of a
mile. Two of these hills lie west
of Gills Creek and one hill Just
east Of said creek, which is on
|
the Chesterfield road just east
of ellis Greek church.
Each of these hills could be
cut down and the valleys filled
in and the road straighte ed and
the steep grades reduced one.
half or more, all for a cost of
perhaps less than one thousand
dollars. These are the worst hills
of any road leading out of town
for radius of five miles.
These hills are dreaded by
every body that travels this road.

PORTABLE VILLAGES.
TurcOmans Move Their Houses From
Place to Place.

TurcOmans Move Their Houses From
Place to Place.
The Turcomans, who live on the east
ern shore of the Caspian sea, carry
their villages about with them when
they travel. AS tribe sets out on a
journey every man packs his wooden
house upon a camel, which the animal
can easily carry, and when Il spot is
reached where he and his friends in
tend to remain for any great length of
time the camels are unlOaded and a
hour or so to build
1t is to be remembered that the
houses are real houses and not tents
and that the settlement is not a camp,
but a village. The travelling house of
the TurcOman is marvel of skill and
ingenuity and is really much lighter,
more portable and can be packed into
a much smaller compass than any of
the so called portable houses that are
manufactured and sold in some parts
of our country.
The frame is made of strong, light
wood laths about an inch broad by
three-quarters of an inch thick, cross
ing each other when set up in position
at right angles about a foot apart and
fastened at each crossing by the thongs
of rawhide so as to be movable, and
the whole framework may be opened
or shut in the same manner as those
toys for children that consist of a
squad of wooden soldiers and will eX-
pand or close at will so as to form
open or close columns.
One part or more made in this way
and all inclOsing a circle fifteen or
twenty feet across form the skeleton
of the walls and are firmly secured in
place by bands of ropes made of hair
or wool fastened round the end of each
rcd. From the upper ends of these
rods similar rods bent near the wall
and into something less than a right
angle are so disposed that the longer
portions slope to the center and, being
tied with rope. form the roof.
Over this is thrown a covering of
black felt. having in the center a large
hole which answers both for a window
and a chimney. Large pieces of the
same coarse black felt are wrapped
round the walls, and outside these, to
keep all tight. is bound another frame
of split reeds or canes or of some very
light, tough wood bound closely tOgeth-
er with strong cords.
