would meet them. About half an
hour before sunset, Nelson and
the other young man came to
the place where the girls were in
waiting. and when it was getting
dark, Kendall and Vickers came,
and Kendall asked Nelson what
he was doing there and Vickers
drew q pistol and called Nelson
an ugly name, and at that t h e
girls ran (the young man who
came with Nelson having e t
when he saw Kendall and Vick-
ers coming) and had not gotten
many yards away, when they
heard a pistol shot, and did not
see any of the men again that
night.
Kendall and Vickers never got
to their boarding house t h a t
night (25th OF Sept. until some
time in the night, so the proprie-
tors OF the boarding house testi-
fed. The Greer girl was asked
if she lost anything that night
at or near the place of meeting,
and she said she lost a ribbon
off her hair, and then'a piece of
ribbon which had been found
near the place of meeting, was
shown her, and she said she be-
lieved it was hers.
The Lewis woman was not put
on the stand, as the prosecution
or the State>believed the evil
dence was sufficient to bind to
court without her.
Kendall went on the stand and
swore that he had never been in
that particular piece of woods in
his life, and knew nothing what
ever of the killing of Nelson.
Both men were committed to
iail without bond to await the
February term of court.

The term printers devil as ap-
piled to the boy who does t h e
chOring around a printing Office
has a peculiar romantic history.
In early days printing was styl-
ed the "blark art aud printers
were supposed to be in league
with satan. But IT was in I h @
time of Adus Minutius in Venice
that the matter took a Serious
turn. This was the famous print
er who first published the Greek
and Roman classics. He took in
to his employ a negro boy who
was homeless on the streets OF
Venice. The people supposed, the
the story goes, the boy was an
imp from Satan and he assisted
in printing. Mobs collected a.
bout the office and we're aboutto
wreck it, when the boy was
brought forward and exhibited,
showed that the boy was flesh
and blood. but he was still called
the "printer's devil" and every
boy in his position ever since has
been 80 called. .-Ex.

The NcIver Monument,
Charlotte News.

The News has before commend
ed the action OF those who were
engineering the work of securing
funds for the erection of a monu-
ment to the memory OF the late
DR.. McIv,r. one of the foremost
educators of North Carolina,
founder OF the Greensboro State
Normal, and pioneer in general,
in the work of education. 1t is
right and fitting that the good
that this man has done for the
State should be remembered in
this manner and we are glad to
note the enthusiasm of the peo-
pie of the state in the work.
Following is a part of a letter
sent out by Mrs. &c. Abbott, of
this city, recently printed in the
News. The letter ls in the form OF
an appeal to the people, especial
ly the ladies, tor funds for the pur-
pose Of erecting a monument.
The appeal is a strong one, and
we trust our people will respond
as heartily as the good people
are all over the state. This, in
part, is the letter >ol Mrs. Alb
bott:
1T is not now muny months
since DR.. Charles D. McIver died.
1t is the purpose of those " h o
loved him and wish his name to
be remembered in North Carroll
ma TO erect a statue in his lnem-
ory and they are calling upon all
the friends of education in the
state to help them. OF course the
school he established is the best
possible memorial OF this great
man, but trail human nature ia
40 prone to receive the benefits
which great men have given and
to forget the giver, that we
should have some monument of
the man himself other than the
school he founded.
The statue will not only hon.
or him and show something OF
the love we all must bear him,
but will be constantly teaching
the great story of his life to. the
young men and women who pass
that way. We grow like the char.
acters that we contemplate and
what a splendid thing it will he
Tor our youth If we can lead them
to contemplate the high ideas,
the strong faith in those ideals
and the lofty steadfast purpose
to accomplish them that Dr.. Nc
Iver had"

news ana observer.
The tendency is marked in North
Carolina to let the good old GUS
tom of the fathersgo into disuse.
! In the realm of social pleasures,
the new generation has almost
lost the zest and chivalry atten-
dant upon the tournament. Once
people were good spoilers a n d
the cutting up and down and the
Spelling Bee gave pleasure and
instruction. With their departure
come poorer spoilers and too lit
tie attention is given to spelling.
This paper has started the New
Year with an agitation for a re-
turn of the old time tournament
and the old time spelling bee.
Nothing has taken their place SO
valuable or diverting or t h a t
gave such social enjoyment. Why
not have a tournament social at
the next State Fair and make it
the crowning event of the annual
gathering? 1t would be asplendid
idea, too, to get up Il spelling bee
with one entry from each county
and give an hundred dollars to
the best speller. And why n o t
have the tiddling contest, with a
splendid prize to the best fiddlerin
North Carolina.
The year 1907 ought to be
marked by a return to the an
cient landmarks-those that af-
ford innocent pleasures as wellas
those that are elevating and up
lifting. The time was when tn e
departure of the Old Year was a
solemn religious festival an d
watch night services were held in
many churches. Why has this
means of grace been neglected?
The merchant takes an inventory
of his stock at the close OF each
year to see how he stands financ-
tally. Why shouldn't men review
the year to see how they stand
before their Maker and make SOL
emn resolves to better living for
the New Year? While most OF the
churches havegiven up this whole
some service, it is gratifying to
know that it is still observed by q
few as the following from the Tar
boro Southerner shows:
midnight services to see t h g
Old Year out and the New one in
were held in the Episcopal church
Rev. F. H. Harding conducting
them. They were solemn and i'm
pressive till the bells and whistles
rang out the end of 1906, then
there were disapasons in b o t h
voice and music creating 1907"
The passing of the Old Year
ought to be a time for reflection
and for good resolutions. What
place more appropriate for this
t h a n the holy temples? T h e
preachers can invoke no service
so impressive and no influence SO
helpful as to restore the old GUS
tom of watching the Old Year
out and the New Year in.

CALDWELL LETTER.

greetings. l wish you all a pros.
porous and happy New Year.
We have just passed through a
real cold spell, but the weather is
mild now, and the health of the
people right good.
Christmas was very quiet, and
since the holidays, people have
settled down to business, and
notwithstanding..the bad roads,
some lumber is being hauled, and
new enterprises started up.
The Coffey Wagon Shops and
the Table Factory at the old
plant north of Lenoir, will soon
be in operation, and there is talk
of a cotton factory in the same
locality. Lenoir is spreading out
in every direction, and a lot OF
people are moving into town
from the country.
1t looks a bit gloomy for the
farming interest, as men say they
cannot get farm help, and so
have to give up their farms, but
l suppose, in most instances, the
farms are either sold or rented.
Our schools are all well patron
lied. Your Prof. B. B. Dougherty
visited this county during t h e
holidays, and l learn made a
very fine educational address at
Hibriten Academy and remained
over Sunday, and talked well to
the people about Sunday schools.
Watauga county did a hand
some act when she gave us Prof.
Winkler. He is doing a fine work
at Hibriten.
One of our best schools had to
close by reason of the death OF
Prof. Victor Beaches wife. He
was haping a fine school and his
wife was assistant, at Kings
Creek Academy, and she devel-
oped q case of consumption and
died in December.
lam glad Brother J. F. Davis
has returned to Watauga and
hope he will do a great work for
our Lord. In my humble judg-
ment he is a fine gospel preacher.
regretted to give up my work
at Blowing Rock, but l had
climbed the mountain over all
kinds of roads and through all
kinds of weather for the past 3A
years, until it was too wearing
and tearing for me. The people
of Blowing Rock were very kind
to me, and | was 10th to leave
them. and wish to make special
mention of the kindness and
brotherly love shown me by Bro.
Savage, the Episcopal minister
residing at Blowing Rocks He is
a splendid christian gentleman,
and l shall be glad to meet him
and show him a kindness at any
time.
Lenoir and community h a v e
just passsd through a great Sen
sation. Lawrence Nelson, son of
Rev. j. H. Nelson, ofthis county,
who had been missing from Le-
noir about three months, was
found in a piece of woods about
two miles from town and about
one mile from where l live on the
18th of last month. The body
was found by a Mr.. Stine who
was rabbit hunting. 1t was bad
ly decayed, but was identified by
the clothing, a crippled foot and
a letter in the pocket of the cloth
ing. There was a bullet hole thro'
the collar of the coat and thro'
the bones Of the neck, and it ap-
peared that the ball had entered
the back of the neck. The prelim-
mary trial lasted two days and
there were about SO witnesses.
A Greer girl gave the most dam
aging testimony against Ken
dali and Vickers, the men charg-
ed with the crime. She said she
was present when Kendall gave
