One of the most prominent re-
publicans in Stanly says he puts
the question to himself in this
way: "On which side would Jesus
Christ be if He we're on earth?"
And his conclusion was that
Christ would be on the side of
prohibition, it being the wise and
safe course. And who is there
Will doubt this fer a moment?
A rising vote at the Baptist
church Sunday, following an earn
est and able discourse on the tenn
perance question, found the con-
gregatlon almost as unit in favor
of prohibition.

There is plot of grass cover

there is some poisonous herbs
growing in the grass. Mr.. Webt

poisonous or that the wet soil or
which it grows contains poison Of
some kind. The case will be fur

who occupied the farm on which
the grass is located, last veal
noticed that it was unusually fine
looking and he cut some of it and
fed it to his COWS. As a result
two COWS died in short time af.

narrow escapes. Mr.. Mcdaniel
was not sure that the grass killed
the COWS but he did not use any
more of it. Some time ago Mr.
Galliher, a saw mill man, moved

it to Craze. In less than Is minu,

both steers fell dead in their

investigation and when it was
learned the same plot of grass

SHOT DAUGHTER and HIMSELF.
SwInnev Tried to XIII His Daughter and
Then Killed Himself,

Enraged at his 16.year-old
! daughter, Nellie, because of q
harmless school girl prank, DR.. G.
0. Swinney, who recently came
here from New York, fred two
shots at her, and then turning the
revolver on himself placed the
muzzle In mis- mouth and pulled
the trigger, dying almost instant.
ly. Badly wounded as she was,
with two bullets embedded in he1
skull, Miss Swinney ran from the
room and upstairs to the princi-
pals room before she fell,
The tragedy occurred in the re-
ception room of the Normal and
Collegiate Institute, large girl's s
boarding school in this city, where
Miss Swinney had been pupil for
the past session. Just what oc-
Cured prior to the shooting is not
known, as there were no witnesses,
and the girl, while still conscious,
could give but a vague account.
DR.. Swinney, who up to few
years ago had been prominent
physician in New York city, has
for some time past been in poor
health, and Of late, it is alleged,
his mind has been unbalanced.
Recently his daughter was one
of number of the school girls
" ho, as an April fool joke, absen-
ted themselves from school, and
the father brooded over the little
escapade until it assumed to him
the proportions of actual wrong
doing. When DR.. Swinney called
on his daughter at the school this
afternoon about 8 O'Clock he was
shown into the reception room,
and a few minutes later his daugh.
ter came down and went into the
room, closing the door behind her.
She sat down at the piano, her
father sitting beside her. Half an
hour later girls and teachers we're
startled by four shots ringing out,

ney, with blood streaming from
the wounds in her head, came
rushing from the room. In a few
minutes the widest confusion
reigned, school girls and women
teachers running here and there,
but Miss Robinson, the principal,
speedily restored order and hasti-
ly summoned physician.
Miss Swinney was desperately
wounded and there is little chance
for her recovery. The room in
which the tragedy occurred show
ed signs of a hard struggle. Chairs
we're overturned and the piano
stool, with one leg broken, was
lying in the middle of the room.

ward with the revolver, with four
chambers empty, under him.
The attempted murder and sui
eide were evidently deliberately
planned. Before going to the
school DR.. Swinney bought a re-
volver and two rounds of car
tridges at a pawn shop. Although
it IS said his mind has been un-
balanced for some time, he had
never been violent and his family
was totolly unprepared for the
dreadful tragedy. He was the
father-in-law of DR.. J. o. Sinclair,
a prominent dentist of this city,
and since his return from New
York a few weeks ago DR.. Swim
ney bad made his home with him,

here with varying sentiment. Some

The man who stops reading
