tiff for room rent. board, money loaned
and dressmaking done for the plaintiff
amounting to something like 5000, and
admits that on October 90, 1899 the
plaintiff loaned her 5000 instead of $500,

1t is a fact perhaps not known to
many people that CASTOR county ships
every year several carloads Of beef
cattle to Asheville. AS this is not
cattle-raising country one would be
inclined to think that 1t would, on
the other hand, be a difficult matter
to secure enough beef cattle for home
consumption. These are not CASTOR
raised cattle, however. They are ship
ped in, mostly from east Tennessee,
fattened here on cotton seed meal and
hulls and then shipped back to Ashe-
Vile for consumption there O.id In
nearby towns. Just recently Craig d
Wilson have shipped three carloads
and Mr.. w. n. Davis will ship another
the 18th, all to Asheville. 1t Is cheaper
the cattlemen say, to ship the cattle
here, fatten them and reship than 1t
would be to ship a sufficient guam
tity of cotton seed meal and hulls to
Asheville to fatten the cattle there.

the desk is, and frequently people
who have never stayed at the hostelry
will go to the stand to register. The
other evening a man from up in the

Of the girl.

LAST USE OF ARMoR.
II Was in 1899 and Was a Picturesque
and DiabolicaI Scene,


In January, 1899, at the town of
Aqullla, in the Abruzzo, then held by
a garrison Of 400 French troops, the
peasants broke into the town, and,
though they were driven out by the
French, they continued to give serious
trouble. They even drove the French
into the fort and made ready to bonn
bard them with heavy guns. The
French were in an awkward position.
Boulert, the officer Of artillery, ram
sending out men to spike the guns on
the glacis under the fire Of the insur-
gents from the neighboring houses,
suddenly remembered that he had
seen in his magazine some suits of
plate armor, and he proposed to try,
whether, protected by them, men
could not sally out and work in Sc
curity under the musketry fire. He
got together twelve suits and dressed
out twelve gunners and grenadiers
thus, selecting big men, be it remark
ed. At a certain hour the garrison
lined the covered way, and from
thence and from the fort opened a
steady fire Of musketry and of artil-
lery on the lines of the insurgents.
Then out marched the twelve
knights Of the eighteenth century,
much in David's state Of mind when
he complained he had not proved his
armor. The men carried handspikes,
hammers and spikes. Moving natu-
rally slowly and awkwardly in their
heavy steel mall still they succeeded
in completing their work under hail
of bullets from the insurgents. The
scene Is described, as we can we'll be-
lieve, to have been most remarkable
and to have had something pictur-
esque and also diabolical about it.
AS the mailed figures moved in ST.
lence among the guns, their hand
spikes looking like maces, their 81
lence and the slowness of their ac-
tions seemed unnatural under the
steady hail of bullets. The insurgents
were believed to have thought hell it.
