Find 1879 Mexican Towns
Not Officially r,

City of Mexico.-The geographical
commission appointed by the govern
ment sever years ago to map all of
the towns of the country have just
made their report. They make the
astounding statement that they dis

Many of these towns are of con-
siderable size, ranging in population
from 5000 to $4,000 people.

His Start as a Printer.

It is remembered of the late
Thomas K. Bruner that he got his
early training in the printing
business in a rather strenuous
way. One of the mean things the
Yankees did in Salisbury besides
burning the railroad shops, was to
sack the printing Office of The
Carolina Waterman edited by J.. J..
Bruner, father of young Tom, then
a lad of about ten years of age.
They carried ali the type cases to
the window and pitched the type
into the street. The elder Bruner
making the best of the mat
ter, set to work on the rather dis
couraging task of picking up and
sorting the type back in the cases.
It was a tedious job. Young
Tom helped in it and thus got his
experience of type setting from a
conglomerate mass of metal in
the street. It was not long until
he had developed into a bright
newspaper writer and helped his
father to make The Carolina
Waterman the equal to, and in
many respects the counterpart of,
the old Charlotte Democrat
Charlotte Chronicle.

THE SALOON ELECTION.
No Place For Hesitation by a Christian
Man About Whe|s He Ought to Stand.

The voters of the State are to
cast their ballots the second time
on the subject Of Prohibition.
This is to be the last election on
the question. It will be adopted
by a majority larger than that by
which it was defeated. Nobody
thereafter will have following
enough to induce a Legislature to
submit the issue again to a popu-
lar vote. The majority should be
as it will be a great one. It is east
er to enforce a law enacted by the
moral force of a great majority.
There is no place for hesitation
by a Christian man about where
he ought to stand. Every intelli-
gent disciple of the Lord is in
stinctly resolved already to vote
for it. This Is an election in
which there is no ground where
duty can be done by not voting
at all. There is no neutrality in
morals. Not to vote is to help ene-
mics of the measure. Every voter
must be for or against it. The
Word of God clearly calls every
saint to vote for it. And that
settles the question. We owe it
to the poor and ignorant to close
the saloons. One'of the amazing
things insthis country is the reck-
lessness with which men who earn
their wages by hard labor-honest
labor-pour their hard earned
money lnto the Golfers of the sa-
looms. Wes,must help strike down
any thing that fills our jails, de-
stroy the comfort of home and
the peace of families, debases and
brutalizes our people. The natur-
al tendency Of. THE saloon Is to
produce criminality in the popu-
lation. at large and among saloon
keepers themselves. It debauches
net only the body social but the
body political as we'll. No drunk
ard can enter the kingdom of God,
and saloons are Misunderstanding
Thereforeswe are called upon as
missionaries of the cross-every
one of us-to help wipe out the
saloons as a part of our work OF
rescuing the perishing.-Presbyte.

DOES ANY ONE REMEMBER?
Son Of Marshal Ney Claims to Have Visit
ed Rowan County 80 Years Ago.

Son Of Marshal Ney Claims to Have Visit
ed Rowan County 80 Years Ago.
The Indianapolis News of Feb
ruary goth last comes to us with
a very interesting story. Under
the date line of Saltillo, Ind, a
staff correspondent describes at
length the hundredth anniversary
celebration of an aged man who,
owing birth on February goth,
has seen only twenty-four birth
days. 1t is not the hundred years
or the leap year birth of the cele-
brant, however, but a claim to be
the son of Marshal Ney and a tale
hanging by that claim which lend
the event most interest.
But it is because this old fell
lows story harks back to Peter
Stuart Ney, the mysterious North
Carolina school teacher who has
been declared none other than
Marshal Ney by at least one
painstaking Investigator that we
give him so much attention. His
account of himself as set forth by
The News correspondent follows
in full:
ST was born in PARIS, on Feb
ruary Doth, 1903. My father was
Grand Marshal Ney, and my
mother was Madam Ney, his wife,
whose maiden name was Mile
Aglae Auguie. I was the third of
four Children, and was between
seven and eight years old when
Waterloo crashed over our house.
Of course I remember it. And
then came the days of sorrow. 1t
was along in 1921 that I next saw
my father. That was in Balti-
more. I had been sent across the
ocean by my mother, and saw my
father, who was then a country
school teacher in South Carolina,
living there under the name of
Peter Stuart Ney. He picked out
for me a medical career, and put
me in school in Philadelphia,
where I studied at the Jefferson
Medical College uuder DR.. James
Rush.
IT never lived with my father
in this country, but I saw him a
half-dozen or more times, the last
time in the forties at a tavern kept
by Thomas Allison, at Statesville,
N. G. He was then teaching
school in Rowan county, North
Carolina. where he died Novem-
Der 18th, 1916, insisting that he
was the great French marshal.
II went to Rowan county thirty
years later and to get my fathers
body and bring it back here, but
I vas not permitted to do so be-
cause of the local objections in
Rowan county, whore his memory
was much revered."
It was almost inevitable that
the peculiar and suspicious cir
cumstances attending Marshal
Ney's supposed execution and
burial should have given rise to a
tradition of his survived aud sub
sequent temperance. Concern.
ing this tradition and Peter Stuart
Ney's part in it we do not assume
to speak with confidence. It
would not be at all unreasonable
to suppose that Ney's life was
saved by a chivalrous enemy on
condition that he live there
after in romoteness and obscurity.
Those who feel a special interest
in the subject may read with prof.
it the late Rev. James A. Weston's
Historic Doubts Concerning the
Execution of Marshal Ney." It
is worth noting that whatever the

FIRED SHOTGUN AT HUSBAND
Mendon Woman Arrested by Rutland
Officers Saturday Night.

Rutland, Oct 13.-Mrs. Carrie
sharkey of Mendon was arrested Sat
urday night by Deputy Sheriffs E. S.
Whitaker and Pascal Ricci on a
charge of assault with intent to kill,
being armed with a dangerous wea-
pom, the assault having been made up
on her own husband with loaded
shotgun. The fight took place in
the early evening and Mr.. Sharkey
reported the matter to States Attor-
ney X. A. Lawrence, who made out
the writ ordering her arrest She
was committed to the county Jail and
will probably be arraigned today Mr.
and Mrs. Sharkey have been married
but a few years and they have baby
only a year and half old. The Of
fers say that Mrs Sharkey acted as
If she had been drinking, although
she was not intoxicated at the time
she was arrested, which was about
10 o'clock.
The details of the affair could not
be ascertained Sunday as Mr..
Sharkey was nowhere to be found
and the woman denied the entire az.
fair. Mr. Sharkey was not at home
when the officers arrested his wife.
Il is understood that Mrs. Sharkey
had been TO Rutland during the day
and purchased some liquor with
which she became intoxicated. Her
husband was in the barn and she
yelled TO him to come TO the door
which he did only TO see a lighted
lantern being hurled at his head. He
retreated and when next he appeared
a shotgun was fired at him A num-
Der of the bird shots lodged in his
coat, but none entered his person. In
the fight which ensued, Mrs. Shar-
key claims she was knocked down.
The gun was brought to the city and
placed in the hands OF the officials
Mrs. Sharkey was not arrested
without some trouble. When the Of
ticers arrived they found no one in
the house except the baby. A thor
ough search Of the house failed to
disclose the whereabouts Of Mrs.
Sharkey. The officers then went TO
the barn and had about given up the
search when they found her where
she had burrowed in the haymow.
She did not resist arrest. but claimed
that the whole story was made up
out Of whole cloth.
