TALES OF HORROR
from THE NORTH CAROLINA
HILL COUNTRY.
Diseased Mind Of Fratricide Wow
Tor Himself Ferfui Punishment
--sIttin0 for Hours with
Silent Ghost.

A man named Shelton Of Cherokee
county In the mountains of North
Carolina, q few years ago In some
drunken brawl killed his own brother.
Escaping somehow the punishment Of
the law. he was given over to the
horror of what he had done and from
his own mind wove for himself a
frightful punishment. He believed
and asserted as fact that every
night hair was drawn from his head
by his slain brother, coming through
the night from the unseen regions OF
the hereafter for that purpose. 1t 10
q known fact that Shelton did become
bald little by little until not a hair
was left; and some of his neighbors
believed IN the nightly visitation of
the dead man as firmly as the slayer
himself No explanation was offered
and no deductions were made. That
nightly coming, the silent plucking OF
the hair, and the departure were &C
cepted stoically as thing actually
and undoubtedly happening and part
of the mans regular life and expert
ence. Shelton died recently after hav-
Ing allowed himself with his gro
tesquely barred head to be exhibited
in a tent through mountain hamlets
as The Modern CAIN and the local
newspapers recall his story.
1t was another nountaineer. living
many miles from Shelton and de-
barred of any possibility of knowing
about him, who told the mountain
girl he was about to marry that she
must reconcile herself to. a nightly
visit from a man he had killed, VINO,
he said, walked to his bedside and
sat with him an hour after mid
night. The stouthearted bride mar
ried in firm expectation OF the ghostly
vigil at her couch and, according to
her sworn evidence in court. ELECTED
incidentally in the trial OF another
case and in the presence OF an audi
ence of Mortified, stiffened and breath
less mountain people, she was not dis
appointed. She swore that regularly
every night the murdered man kept
his tryst, and that she and her groom

another man of this same neighbor-
hood who committed murder and
undertook to dismember and hide the
body of his victim. He told his friend
that while he was carrying the sew
cred head in bag over his shoulder
across a certain wide hill where the
broom hedge was growing in the late
autumn, the head suddenly began to
whistle tune which was a favorite
with the dead man.
What morbid poet OF romancer
could conceive more CHASTITY thought
than this-the severed head emitting
suddenly the whistling Of a lively
tune, on bleak broom hedge hillside
In the solitude OF an autumn midnight
with the moon looking coldly down?

Think Lightly of 1t.

The road to home happiness is said
to lie over small stepping stones. So
small sometimes are the causes of our
unhappiness that we wonder the conse-
quences can be so great. One great pal
liatiye is the determination by every
member of the family not to dwell
on the circumstances, whatever they
may be, which are alike sad to ALL If
1t be poverty let it be cheerfully and
silently borne; il it be the i'll temper of
grandpa try to make joke of 1t. If 1t
be something infinitely worse and also
hopeless accept it bravely; do not talk
of it. Try in the family circle to ignore
1t. Accept every little enlivening cir
cumstance. Let in all the sun and air.
Work on cheerily and hopefully, know
ing that there is the ray of sunshine
somewhere that has only to be looked
for to be found.

The Cooking of Food.

There is no reason in the world why
men, whether average men or men of
genius, should despise the cooking of
their food. They never show, or are
required to show. the. same contempt
toward any other art. and on no other
is their mental calm more completely
dependent. An i'll fitting coat Is
worry, but not such a worry as dinners
perpetually i'll dressed. To many men,
and especially to men whose work is
sedentary or whose brains are fully
taxed, food which is at once light and
nourishing Is an absolute necessity If
they are to exert their highest powers,
and food of that kind is obtainable
only by care in selecting meats and
good cooking when they are selected.
A man should not think too much of
his dinner or devote too much time to
preparation for it or enjoy it too visi-
bly, when it has arrived, for all those
are animal peculiarities. ut to re-
main content with bad food. when q
little more thought or carefulness or
criticism would procure it in a state fit
to be eaten, is only what Scotchmen
used to describe as "a wasting Of the
maircies. London Spectator.

RANDOM NOTES OF THE ANDERSON
MENoUGH WEDDING.
AS SEEN BY A MAN.


Seven hundred extended invitations packed
the Oxford Presbyterian church to the lid. The
trunks were also packed to that aperature for an
extended trip. The presence" therefor were
most numerous and beautiful.
The bride and groom are now having their
honeymoon. The dressmakers and milliners
have been having their harvest-moon for some
weeks.
The brides dress was OF white satin veneered
with lace and enameled on the inside with a
double coating ofwhite silk.
The bride looked sweet as Violet and happy.
This is no Anderson fairy tale.
The decorations were pink and white. Some
poor, forlorn and jealous looking old maids
appeared to look blue.
Considering the inclemency of the weather,
that the groom is from Atlantic City and that the
brides father has an interest in duck farm at
Lincoln, things went off swimmingly.
No particular change was noticed in the bride,
except perhaps her name
The bride was given away by her father. Mr.
Menough has always been noted for his gen
crosby and this proves it.

The Public Roads.

EDITORS MIDLAND JOURNAL ::
The reason, blantly put, we have no
better roads in Cecil county to show for
the vast expenditure of money on them
year by year, is that, to use a slang ex
preston, "any old thing is good enough
to mend roads.
Men in private life go after skilled
workman to do masonry, or carpentry, or
to build fence; but road mending, 9
most scientific business, requiring in a
section of country like ours skill of the
highest order, is entrusted by our County
Commissioners to hands devoid of the
knowledge of the very first principles of
the art.
The road making is used. and has been
for years, as kind of graft to repay local
politicians aud voters of various political
persuasions for their services in the cam
paign, and to make the dispenser of the
spoils solid for the nextti time he runs for
office.
1t is high time the tax payers would
arise and purge this kind of iniquity from
their midst, and see to it that the money
wrung from them every year is spent to
the BEST advantage.

away from water!" Don't let them
have any water for several days
nor give them much to eat. AT
the end of four days begin to feed
very little grain and don't let them
have much water. Try it on hogs
which have just contracted the
disease. 1t will not help hogs that

Work and Fatigue.

What fatigues the motive power is
getting to work. Once the mind is fas-
cinated and the field of consciousness
restricted to single object the brain
works without exhausting itself. Let
us apply ourselves for good time to
whatever we do and have several hours
of sustained labor. By quitting the
task to dream, to smoke cigarette or
to watch fly one becomes exhausted.
