A PRICED RECORD.
The Original Muster Roll Of Captain
A. Lineoln's Company.

The Original Muster Roll Of Captain
A. Lineoln's Company.
None of the records of the treasury
department is more highly priced than
the original muster roll OF Captain A.
Lincoln's company" in the handwriting
OF that famous man himself. Ii was
a voluntary company organized by
Lincoln In 1892 to serve in the Black
Hawk war. Lincoln as an army off,
Ger was the same painstaking. careful
and orderly man that he was later as
president He kept the muster rolls
of his company himself, and nowhere
can a neater and more complete ac-
count be found. Although more than
seventy-hve years old now, the roll Is
wonderfully well preserved. The paper
Is of poor quality but the handwriting
is still legible and distinct, not a single
error having been made In the copy.
The record has been bound together
along the edges. and where it has been
folded constant handling has done con-
siderable damage TO IL.
The muster roll Is In charge OF the
auditor for the treasury. Quite a
fright was given to that Official years
ago when II was announced that the
roll had disappeared. A thorough
search failed to reveal 1t. and II was
given up for lost. Later. however, 1t
was found In the desk formerly occu-
! pied by a clerk who had been dis
missed. The interesting document Is
headed: Muster Roll OF Captain A..
LincOln's Company OF the Fourth Regi-
ment Of Mounted Volunteers, Com
manded by Brigadier General Samuel
Whitesides. Mustered out OF service
Of the United States at the mouth OF
Fox river May the 9th, 1892"
The roll shows that Abraham Lincoln
was the captain and that he was en-
rolled with the rest OF the command on
April 81 at Richland, Sangamon cOun-
| ty, Ill At the foot Is Llncoln's Ger
! tificate as TO the correctness OF the
muster roll at the time Of muster out.
The only other handwriting on the
document Is that OF Nathaniel Buck
master, Inspector and muster officer,
certifying to the accuracy Of the roll Of
Llncoln's company.

Important Meeting Called.

Salisbury, March l. Salisbury
is on the qui vive o. expectation
with regard to the meeting to be
held here next Friday. There
seems to be a mistaken idea that
the call of Representative Morton
is for a mass meeting of all those
who are opposed to the bill pass
ed by the special session in Jam
uary. Such, however, is not the
case. 1t will be purely a private
meeting of prominent Democrats
who think that the vital princi-
Piles of self-government and To-
cal option will be endangered if
the people should ratify the &C.
tion of the Legislature next May.
No Republicans have been in
vited, neither have the whiskey
people. The meeting will be
held solely by Democrats who
are looking farther ahead than
May.
Representative Morton and
and the Hon. C. B. Watson will
take prominent parts in the de-
alterations and the results there.

SlaShes His Klfe'S Throat.

Salisbury, March l, 2::30 a. m.
John Barringer, whose home is
on South Lee Street. came home
between IL and IL o'clock last
night drunk and while in this
condition cut his wife's throat
almost from ear to ear, and her
condition is such that she can
hardly live.

Salisbury, March John

night by cutting her throat, is in
Jail.
The officers trailed him to
Summers siding, where he was
arrested this morning.
He tries to place the blame or
his wife and says that she start.
ed the fight and stated that he
had to cut her in self-defense.
He has a slight cut on his meek
and says Mrs. Barringer cut
him. However, the officers dc
not put any faith in this. They
think he gashed himself purpose
ly so as to give his wife credit
for the trouble.
Mrs. Barringer is still alive

Considerable excitement prevails
in the southeastern part of the
county, known as the Lower
Hunting Creek settlement, on
account of small pox. 1t is re-

the disease in that section, and
that a strict quarantine has been
established. The disease has
spread over a considerable terri
tory, embracing parts of Wilkes,
Iredell and Yadkin counties.

SHORT LOCAL ITEMS.

Only seven cases claimed the
mayors attention at his Monday
mornings court. This is a small
court for Monday.
The inimitable Henry Blount
was at West Durham last Satur-
day night. Owing to the bad
weather the crowd was small,
and by special request will speak
at the same place next Thurs
day.
State Superintendent Joyner,
of Raleigh, will speak at Trinity
College tonight. This is a regu-
lar lecture course at Trinity pre-
pared for the graduating class.
All students and the public is in
invited, however.
The office of the Durham Trac-
tion company that has been up
stairs in sthe Wright building,
has been moved downstairs next
to the Lewith building, where
better accumulation can be given
to people that have business with
the company.
w. M. sWhitfield, of Bushy
Fork, called in today, being here
on business. AS a matter of the
unusual, Mr.. Whitfield mention
ed the fact that he had seven
auHts, the combined ages of
whom made a total of SGT
years, which is an average of
over 81 years for each.
A meeting has been called to
meet at the court house tonight
for the purpose of taking some
steps for the arrest of the raw
ages being made in Durham by
that dreaded disease-consump-
ton. For some time this disease
has attracted attention by its
ravages and now that some def
mite action has been taken, it is
to be hoped that soon the evil
dences of taking care of patients
may show beneficial results.
The March term of Durham
superior court for the trial OF
civil cases will not meet on Mon
day 18th, but will convene on
the day following. This is on
account of the fact that Judge
Webb cannot reach here in time.
There are several cases of spec.
ial Importance to come up at this
term, among them being that OF
Mrs. Lucy Holloway against the
Standard Oil Company for $50,
600 and Mrs. 0cta D. Thomas
for S35, 900 against several Dur.
ham merchants. Our readers
are familiar with the facts ir
these cases.

The hazing at the A. & NJ. COL

it is not right, but the principal
fault with the A. & NJ. affair was
the fact that the public found out
about it. II all the colleges that
have not had a hazing in twelve
months were to be asked to stand
up and say 50, there would not
be so much criticism Of the A. &

Gladstone,s Eccentric Attire.

Afr. Gladstone cared little about per-

for the loving care of Mrs. Gladstone
his dress ut times would scarcely have
been in keeping with the dignity of his
position.
During one OF the Midlothian cam
paigns," Mr.. Lucy in Memories of
Eight Parliaments" informs us, when
ne was a guest of Dalmeny he daily
wore an ancient. short cut. much fray
ed cape Of the kind Shem, Ham and
Japheth might have worn when they
took their walks abroad before the
flood necessitated the ark. 1t was
compact. of n cheap, shoddy material
called ! believe vicuna. 1t was in
vogue. among other monstrosities of

guise the native majesty OF Gladstone's
