Yarn About a Lake OF Gold.

J, G.. Hosler ls back from Alas
ka with weird tale about a lake
of gold. He says he he's discover
ed the lake and as proof brought
back with him a pouch Of mug
gets worth over $15O,OOO. Hos
Ter went to the assay office and
asked whether it could pay on
gold as we'll as q mint. He said
that three months ago he met an
Indian north of Bellingham who
had shot his squaw after she had
beaten him and was in hiding
The Indian became sick and Hos
ler cared for him. Out of graft
tude he showed him to lake
where there were countless mug
gots. The Indians, he says, wor-
ship the nuggets and drop them
back into the lake. One night ha
slipped into the lake, being care
full to avoid the superstitious In.
dians and in few hours collected
the nuggets he brought back with
him. He says the Indians call
the body of water the Lake Of
God.-Seattle dispatch.

Won BY a Colin.

A Raleigh, N. c., item says tnat
very queer incident occurred in
that city few days ago. A young
man from the country came in
buggy with two girls of his neigh
borhood, both young and both
deeply in love with him. He let
it be known that he loved both 80
we'll that he could not make his
choice. Raleigh was reached and
of course the Office of register of
deeds was the first place visited.
All stopped at the house of O.
friend and it was suggested that
the girls flip dollar to see who
got heads and who tails. The
younger of the two girls got heads
and won her much coveted prize.
The license was secured and q
magistrate tied the knot and the
happy couple was so good hearted
as to drive by the house, pick up
the loser and carry her home. The
comment on this affair by young
women is very amusing. Some
declare the man was not worth
having, because he could not &C.
tuallv make up his mind which of
the. two girls he loved the better of
the two. Some of the young
women contend that both the
girls In question had very little
sense to bother with such q man. T..

CLAUD BARBER SERIOUSLY SHOT,
While Out Hunting the Accidental Discharge
Of a Gun Wounds Him.

A special to the Charlotte Oh.
server from Barber last Thursday.
Says:
Claude Barber, the eldest son
of Wm. P. Barber, prominent
farmer here, while out hunting to-
day with some friends was acci-
dentally and seriously shot with
l2-bore gun. Their dog pointed
covey of quail, and while walk
ing up to flush the birds the gun
carried by a friend at distance
of about nine feet was accident
ally discharged by the trigger
coming in contact with a button
on his coat, the charge entering
Mr.. Barber's right breast, tearing
large hole and passing through
his right lung about two inches
below his heart, finally lodging in
his left side. He was removed to
his home and DR.. Chenault, of
Cleveland, summoned. The
doctor decided to take him to the
hospital in Salisbury and tele-
phoned DR.. Stokes to be ready to
operate upon Mr.. Barber's arri-
val there. Mr.. Barber at this
writing is resting easy and his
pulse is good, and the doctor says
unless pneumonia or blood poison
sets in he has chance for recov-
cry.
Mr.. Barber is about 26 years
old, of exemplary habits and one
Of the most prominent young men
in the county. There was four
men in the hunting party and
strange TO say Claude Barber was
the only man in the party who did
not have gun. When shot Mr..
Barber did not fall, but said he
was shot and it was at first
thought his wound was not seri-
GUS, but realizing quickly how
bad he was wounded a messenger
ran to a telephone near at hand
and summoned Mr.. Barber, his
father, and the doctor. Needless
to say the young man who carried
the fatal gun is suffering keenly
because of the serious accident.
Mr.Barher was accidentally shot
by his brother, William. He was
brought to Salisbury and an opera
tion was performed on him at the
Whitehead Sanitorium, which,
it is believed, will save his life,
as the wound is not 80 serious as
was at first thought. He is GET
ting along as we'll as circumstan-
ces will permit.

Amount.'Of Gold in the World and the Gold
and Silver Product Last Year.

The Treasury Department has
just completed it's final figures on
the amount of gold there is in the
world and on the worlds product
of gold and silver during the year
1900.
On December 81, 1905, the
worlds stock of gold amounted to
Sc, 1888, 100000, of which the Uni
ted States held s1,693, 5000
Germany s1,03o,o 100000; France
1924, 400, 600; Russia 1899. 400, 900,
and Great Britain s46S, 100000.
From this it will be seen that
this country has vastly more gold
stored away than any other nation
and more than three times as
much as Great Britain. The Uni
ted States owns approximately
one-fourth of all the gold in the
world.
During 1906 the production of
gold over the world amounted to
$4OO, 245, 800 and the commercial
value of the silver produced in
that year amounted to SIP, 120,-
