Mr.. CuIIer's Recollection of 1856.

Mr.. Cutler, one of the Oldest
and best informed weather pro-
phets tells us that this spring
season SO far is very similar to
the spring and summer season of
1856. He says that there was
very little corn made in this Sec
tion in 1856, that it was a cold
spring, that the worms, moles and
field mice destroyed most of the
corn and it was impossible to get
stand. It is the same way this
year. The moles, mice and
worms have been the worst in
many years. He says that people
here had to haul COTE from lower
Iredell and Mecklenburg that
year, and he is of the opinion
that Wilkes will not raise this
year near all the corn she needs.

ordered to quit their construction
work in connection with the Ches-

siderable tracking, lowering Of

The reason assigned for diacon-

conditions of the market at this
time it would not be desirable to

Were Foraker Made President.

Just suppose Foraker were to
get the nomination and be elected
PRECEDENT. What rush there
would be of negroes to tn e
White House seek ing fe d 9 r
al Offices; and many would
get them, especially in the South
Mr.. Foraker's election would be a
calamity to the coun try. 1t
would reopen the race question in
the South with all the intensity
and bitterness of reconstruction
days, and would bring to the
white people of the North such
experiences in race antagonism as
they have never dreamed of. We
do not suppose he would appoint
many negroes to Office in those
states, but his election would give
to the negroes there more than at
the South the feeling of having
won the victory over the whites
in a contest based on the race
question. Mr.. Foraker's speeches
to negroes in Ohio were of the
most violent and race prejudice
producing kind. They showed an
animos;ty toward the South which
it is hard to realize that a citizen
of this country could entertain
against the people Of any section
Not only that, but his effort ha:
been to make the negroes believe
that their race has been discrimi.

treated by the white peopfs il

their champion in a contest to be

Mills claims that he killed Deal

weight with the court and should
have none with the jury. The

Or. Broughton Sticks to 1t.

Spartanburg, S. c., June 28.-
Rev. DR.. Len G.. Brous shton, who
has been conducting revival ser.
vices in the First Baptist church
here for ten days or more, brought
his meeting to close this morn
ing. During the course of his
sermon he made an attack on the
Charlotte Observer because of GER
tain editorial utterances in that
paper with reference to his cru
sade against cigarette smoking,
which were copied in local
newspaper.
Mr.. Broughton said that the
Charlotte Observer had been try
ing to destroy the force of his
fight against cigarettes for ten
years. There were two reasons
for this-one because the men
who manage the paper are liquor
and cigarette men; another rea-
son, he said, is because the paper
is sheet of the American Tobac-
co Company.
In spite of the Charlotte OBJ
server he said he still stuck to his
statement that a man who smokes
cigarettes Tor ten years will lie
and steal.-Special to Charlotte

The LOVING CASE.
court Appears to be Favorable Toward the
"UnWritten Law"

Houston, Va, June 28.-Argu-
ment in the trial of former Judge
william q. Loving for the mur-
der OF Theodore Estes was begun
late this afternoon after a day
spent by counsel for both sides in
the preparation of instructions,
and a wrangle over them before
the court. The instructions as
read by Judge Barksdale, discuss
ed murder, it's various degrees,
the question of reasonable doubt,
the time allowed for mans an.
cry passions to subside and espe-
cially insanity.
The following Instruction pre-
pared by the prosecution touch
ing on the ''unwritten law' was
stricken out by the court:
"No man under the protection
of the law has a right to be the
avenger of his own wrongs; ii
they be of a nature for which the
laws of society give him an ade-
quate remedy thither should he
resort; but be they of any nature
whatsoever he has no right to
avenge them except in the man
ner prescribed by the Ia~~. The
unwritten law by which is meant
the right of the citizen to become
Che avenger of his own wrongs in
a manner not authorized by law
or against the law has no place
in the criminal jurisprudence of
Virginia"

YOUNG MAN SUICIDES.
ALife Filled With Promise Brought Sud-
denly to a Sad End.

Smith, son of Rev. T. ". Smith,
of Concord, killed himself here
this afternoon. He was a gradu'
ate of Trinity College, having ia
ken his masters degr 30 t h i s
month, and for three weeks has
been in the employ of the Amerl-
can Tobacco Company. No reas-
on is assigned for the rash act
other than that he was tired of
the fight with life and gave up
all hopes.
William Smith, better known
among his more intimate friends
and baseball enthusiastic as "Bil-
lie," had been captaih- of the
team for two years. playing as
short stop. In addition to his
athletic work in the college he
won honors in his studies, was
president of his class in his SEMI
or year, manager of the Trinity
Archive and also manager of the
South Atlantic Quarterly. He
made good at all these.
Soon after leaving college he
accepted position wit b tn g
American Tobacco Company in
Durham and was assigned to learn
the business. This morning at
about 10 o'clock he went to the
manager and told him that his
services were not such as to give
him (Smith) satisfaction and spg-
gested resigning. He was cheer
ed up and told to 60 to doctor
and get some help that would re-
lieve him of his depression and
melancholy from which he was
suffering. He did as direc t Q d
and then went to his room. When
the medicine was delivered before
l O'Clock this afternoon his dead
body was found in the room that
he occupied.
From thu circumstances in the
case it was evident that he stood
before q mirr,r aud there fired
the fatal pistol shot ts.rough his
hrain. He had 'undressed pre-
paratory to retiring as directed by
the doctor, and the general i'm
preston is that he conceived the
idea of self-destruction but mo-
ment before the act was commit
ted. y 1t was probably Oh the I'M
pulse of the moment.
The remains of Mr.. Smith we're
taken from here to Concord this
evening, being joined here by the
mother and two sisters who had
been. visiting in Clinton, this
State. The only brother who was
not in the sad family party is 7.
W. Smith. of Petersburg, Va,
He will join the party at Green's
boro. Tonight his friends are un-
able to assign any cause for the
rash act other than that he was
despondent and i'll. and commit
