cotton grower as Fulton's steamboat

no. They said. and not many years
ago, that no machine would ever sue
cessfully set type. but the type-set-
ting machine has been In successful
operation for a number of years.
They will pick cotton by machinery,
too, and in few years the

his fingers to do the picking will be
as far behind the times as is the man
with reaphook by the side Of the

was the self-binding reaper to our
fathers as they welded the reaphook.

us that this negro has a good case.
In his own mind he has died twice

installation of a regularly equipped
electrical death chamber apparatus.

to Raleigh who will do the work and

pertinent of the State in the way of

An unusual domestic row came as
the result of a fight between Mrs.
Florence Morris and her brother-in-
law, John Ford. genteel-looking
pair who were related by marriage
Ford wedding the sister of Mrs. Nor
ris. Liquor figured there, too. Ford
was here on a visit from Washington
and had spent week with Mrs. Nor
ris. Yesterday morning he says she
started to whip her sixteen-year-old
daughter and he interfered, admit
ting that he had taken a drink to
keep his sister-in-law from drinking
They disagree as to the aggressor
but both admit that there was a
fight, Mrs. Morris slamming a plate
at her guest and missing him, struck
his little daughter on the head and
broke the plate into flinders. Ford
says he struck her twice then. Mrs
Morris says he struck her twice and
she threw the plate.
Sex asserted itself. It was brought
out in the evidence that Ford was sc
attentive to his pretty niece that Mrs
Ford had warned her mother, and II
was this attention that riled him

beat. Nevertheless, when trouble
came to each head Of the family
Mrs. Ford. the envious of first part
sided with her husband, while the

fined the guest of Mrs. Morris $2S
and costs, but reserved judgment il

take the matter up more thoroughly
When Mr.. Ford was on the stant
he scored heavily upon Mrs. Morris
who cross-examined him. "You didn'

FAYETTEvILLE's .sTEEL PLANT
Crooks Worked a New Game in That
Town-Promised Laborers Work,
Sold Them Checks at so Gents
Each and Then Skipped.


Fayetteville, n. c.. Oct. IA
unique, bold, clever swindle has been
perpetrated In Fayetteville; check
flashing and the ordinary confidence
games have been outclassed. Several
days ago two strangers called on a
prominent realty man, claiming to
represent the American Pressed Steel
Rail Company, Pittsburg, Pa. as Will
liam Soaring, chief engineer, and J.
P. Jones, superintendent OF construc-
tion. They were plausible, suave,
business-like, talking straight goods
The steel company wished to erect a
plant. They were to buy the site and
go at once to work on a concrete
steel building. The realty man show
ed them lands on the river front.
They liked them and preparations
for signing the deeds commenced,
but 20 feet must be dug down to
be sure of solid foundation.
Advertisement was made for labor
ers, carpenters, and brick masons at
high figures, and many applied. Each
laborer bought check with his name
and number, paying fifty cents for
same. Tools were bought, livery
bills incurred, settlement to be made
Saturday. Seventy-five hands went
to work merrily for two days. So the
reporters got busy and flashed the
news.
This morning Soaring and Jones
failed to appear. They had flown.
The workmen paid so cents each to
dig big hole.
Henderson had been recently swim
died, so the Fayetteville authorities
telegraphed there for a description
of the swindlers.
The men left unpaid board bills at
the Spence house. a livery bill and all
debts contracted. There is no pros
pect of steel plant at present-just
a hole in the ground and rs darkies
who paid SO cents each to dig it.
