Comptroller General Jones has been
endeavoring for some time to make
improvementsin thefnancial methods
of the State government, but so far
without success. His recommends
tions to the general assembly have
been disregarded, and if relief is to
come at all the voters must take
action. Mr.. Jones says with truth
that any business conducted like that
of the county and State would soon
be bankrupt, but candor compels the
statement that the average citizen
takes absolutely no interest in the
matter of taxation, except to dodge
as much as possible. This is campaign
year, and the voters need to be in
terested in this matter. Candidates
for the legislature should be put on
record, and men should be sent to the
general assembly who will readjust
business methods as well as equalize
taxation.

FELL UNDER CAR WHEELS.
Death Comes to Young Freight
Brakeman at Branchyille.

BRANcHv1LLE, April 20.-Murray
Heaton, a young white man of this
place, was run over by local freight
here this morning and instantly killed.
It appears that young Heaton, who was
braking on the freight, attempted to
get on top of the car and was struck by
a stand pipe and knocked under the car.
One leg and one arm were crushed and
his back broken. An operation was per-
formed by Drs. Wimberly and Fairy and
everything was done to relieve the
young mans suffering, but it was soon
realized that his injuries would prove
fatal. The death of this young man is
particularly sad, he being between 81
and % years old, in the prime of young
manhood, and young man of excellent
qualities. The coroner's jury viewed the
body and the inquest will be held later.

Mr.. and Mrs. Joe S. Dannelly. Of
Ehrhardt, recently visited Mrs. Dan:
nelly's sister in Marlboro county, and
while there attended the closing ex-
ercises of her school. During the
evening some drunken fellow began
using profane and obscene language
in the presence of Mrs. Dannelly, and
when demonstrated with by Mr.. Dan
nelly he grew abusive and defed Mr..
Dannelly to resent it. Mr.. Dannelly
knocked him down and took from
him a knife which he had drawn,
when a number Of the fellows friends
took a hand. Mr.. Dannelly had quite
a fight with the crowd, but he got in
some good blows and was not hurt
himself. However, his coat was cut
across the back during the scuffie.
The parties who raised the row have
been indicted. and some Of them, who
were school trustees, have been re-
moved. -. "

Funeral Hack Overturned.

BALTIMORE, April 19.-Just after
the starting of a funeral procession
to-day one of the hacks was over
turned and six persons were injured, ,
two of them seriously. The funeral
was that of 4year-old Bertha L. Hof-
man and the injured include her
father, mother and sister, who, with
two others, were in the hack I'M
mediately following the hearse.
Just how the accident occurred no
one seems able to say, but when the
vehicle went over on its side the
horses became unmanageable and
smashed the back of. the hearse.
Catherine Hoffman, aged 9 years,
was taken from beneath the other
four persons in the overturned hack
with her chest crushed. The physi-
clans are unable to say at present
whether she will survive.
Edward Eek, aged 80 years, in at
tempting to quiet the struggling
horses, was knocked down and tram
pied. He was removed to his home
in an unconscious condition. The
little body of Bertha Hoffman was
finally taken to the cemetery, &C
companied by single hack, the oc-
cupants of the others that had form
ed the procession having abandoned
them in the excitement following the
accident.

Shot Her Brother.

CHICAGO, April 21.-Mrs. Havel
Mikoletio, of Forest park, shot and
killed her brother, John Stoni, during
a street fight in front Of her home in
which her husband and a second
brother were involved. The woman
was arrested and is in a state of nerv-
GUS prostration, threatening to com.
nit suicide.
The trouble is said to have been
started over "a crime committed in
Austria, where the father of the wo.
man was murdered a few years ago
The woman accompanied by her hus-
band, was leaving the home of
neighbor when her two brothers, John
and Thomas, fell upon her husband
and beat him. Rushing into the
house, she secured a revolver. She
fred the first shot in the air, with a
view of frightening away her broth.
ers.
This had the effect of infuriating
them, John Stoni, leaving the uncon-
scious form of her husband, ap.
preached his sister, and, it is charg.
ed, struck her. The woman pulled
the trigger and the man fell with q
bullet through his heart.

Express Company in Dilemma.

ROANOKE, Va, April 17.-Because
the Southern Express Company re-
fuses to receive shipments Of liquor
from Roanoke dealers for parties liv-
ing at Marion, Glade Springs, Rad
ford, and Saltville, Va, the company
has been cited to appear before the
corporation commission and show
cause why it should not be fined for
such failure and refusal. The towns
named have ordinances which pro-
hibit the delivery of liquor within
their corporate limits. The State
laws provide that if a common car
rier shall refuse to receive and de-
liverpromptly articles offered by ship
pers and fail to deliver the same with
promptness it shall incur a fine OF
$1OO. The company is complying with
the ordinances of the towns, and it is
held to be guilty Of violation Of State
laws in obeying the town ordinances.
The town ordinances provide penalties
ranging from $3.50 to $50 for each
offence. The case will be heard at
Richmond on April %.

CONGRESSMAN J. 0. Patterson ha

Congressman J. o. Patterson has
been and still is doing all in his power
TO encourage the establishment and
extension of the rural routes in this
county. Recently he has been en-
deavoring to get the government to
establish a complete system Of rural
delivery service in Bamberg county,
so that the service might cover the
county by connecting routes. At last
the post office department has con-
sented to take up the matter, and
now MIR. Patterson finds himself un-
able to proceed further in the matter
because map Of the county is not
obtainable. The department willnot
do anything unless a map can be
obtained showing the different roads,
etc. Mr.. Patterson has written Post
master Murphy in regard to this map,
and he has also written the editor of
this paper, as he dislikes to see his
labor lost for want of this county
map. Every citizen of the county
ought to feel an interest in this mat
ter, and the cost of making such a
map ought to be paid for by public
subscription. We hope some steps
will be taken:to obtain the map, for
without it there can be no complete
system of rural service in this county.

He may be a good man and may get

DECIDE TO CLOSE MILLS.
Southern Hard Yarn Spinners Deter
mine to Shut Down.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., April 17.-Al-
though resolutions were adopted c:
the meeting of the Southern Hard
Yarn Spinners' Association, held here
to-day, to Withhold from the public
the conclusions of the convention, it
is learned late tonight that virtual
agreement was reached to shut down
ali plants for a period Of sixty days.
At the end Of that time another con-
ference will be held to consider the
situation and decide whether further
curtailment is necessary. Approx
mately 1,5O0, 900 spindles were repre-
rented at the meeting, which was
entirely harmonious. The attendance
at the meeting was not confined to
members Of the association, many
outside mills being represented. 1t
is understood that the cotton
yarn situation was discussed in all its
phases at the meeting, and it was the
sense of the mill owners that moth.
ing but a complete shutdown would
clean up the surplus stocks on hand
and place the market on a fair price
level. The shutdown will throw
thousands of operatives out of en-
ployment and work great hardship
to them, and indirectly to large busl-
ness interests as well. Resolutions
bearing upon the curtailment plan.
and also relative to the prices of yarns,
were adopted at to-day's meeting,
but these the secretary refused to
make public. The action taken to-
day is in line with the resolutions and
decision of the executive committee
of the North Carolina Cotton Manu-
facturers' Association held recently.

NOTED BANK BURGLAR FREE.

Ten Years Released from Prison.

CONCORD, N. H., April 19.-Adher-
ing firmly to his story that ne was a
victim Of mistaken identity pris-
oner known as Max Shinborn, a bank
burglar of international notoriety,
was released to-day from the State
prison, his sentence for the robbery
of the Walpole, N. Y, Savings Bank
having expired on Easter Sunday.
All through his confinement the pris-
oner has insisted that his real name
is Henry E. Woebus, and he has made
numerous unsuccessful attempts to
have the courts consider his claim.
In the police records Of this coun-
try and Europe the name Max Shin
born is written large as daring, ex-
pert and successful safe-blower. 1t
is estimated that in the series of bur-
glaries committed by his gang more
than s2,O00,OOO was stolen within ten
years.
In addition to the Walpole robbery,
which was committed April 2, 1865,
Shinborn is said to be the head Of q
gang which in 1869 broke in the
vaults of the Ocean Bank, on Green
wich street, New York, and got away
with one million dollars worth of
plunder. Following this came the
robbery of the Boyleston Bank in
Boston, the West Maryland Bank in
Baltimore and the Manhattan Savings
Bank in New York.
It was more than thirty years after
Shinborn' conviction for the Walpole
robbery and his subsequent escape
from prison here that he was brought
back to Concord to finish a ten years
sentence. Meanwhile he had been
living in Belgium, where he bore
the title Count" and moved In arls'
tocratic circles. Shinborn is now u
years old.

Rare Disease Kills Child.

New YORK, April 18.-One Of the
rarest of diseases known caused the
death yesterday of Bennie Postelnek,
eleven months old. The baby bled to
death without any blood leaving his
body. This strange malady which
was manifested by dark spots all over
the body, is known as morbus macu-
losis werthoff.
The child became i'll last Saturday
and the peculiar black spots began to
develop on his skin. The parents
thought that he was turning to a ne
gro and were puzzled to know what to
do. They took him to the Harlem
hospital, where the physicians con-
suited all the authorities, but for
hours they could not decide what was
the matter with the child.
Several specialists were called in
and after consultation the diagnosis
was made. The black spots are caus-
ed by the leakage of veins, which
permits the escaping blood to lodge
in various parts Of the body. In fore
ing it's way to the skin it gives the
appearance of dark blotches. It is
believed that the emptying of the
vessels at last caused the death Of the
baby, as the heart had no more to do.
Many physicians visited the hospita!
to look at the body. They declared
that such case had not been known
for years. An effort is being made
to induce the parents to permit an
autopsy on the body of the child, as
it is hoped the examination will prove
of great value to science.
