Spencer Boy in Desperate Condition
From HydrOphObia.

A special from Spencer, N. c.. to
Tuesdays Charlotte Observer says:
Scott Winders, an orphan boy,
aged thirteen years, at the home of
D. M. Pennington, prominent far
mer, living near Spencer, is tonight
in a desperate condition with what is
said to, be hydrophobia. The boy
was seized with fits and, when under
the influence of the spasm, attempts
to bite and scratch his friends. So
violent is he that he tears up his bed
clothes and it is with difficulty that
he is held by force.
''The lad was bit by a dog six
months ago and no attention was
given the matter until the disease
developed this week. Little hope is
entertained for his recovery. The
case Is attracting much attention
from physicians"

DEPUTY SHERIFF IN JAIL.
A "Good Government Official of
Johnston County Gets in Trouble
in Raleigh.

A deputy sheriff of Johnston Coun-
ty, one of the Democratic Good Gov
eminent" variety, came to Raleigh a
few days ago and evidently got too
familiar with one of our blind tig-
ers, for he was soon drunk and ours
ing and creating general disturb
ance in the capital city, until he fin
ally fell into the hands of an officer.
He had TO be placed in jail to sober
up before he could be presented for
trial. A reporter of the Raleigh
Evening Times gave the following &C
count Of the affair:
Mr.. G. B. Sanders, public drunk
eness, cursing and swearing on the
streets, fell into the hands of Con-
stable r. ID. Byrum last night. JUS
tice Roberts, after finding the de-
PENDANT rather too drunk TO be of
good behaviour in court, committed
him to Jail till this morning. when
he imposed a fine of $500 and costs,
amounting to 1865. This man claim
ed to be a deputy sheriff of Johnston
County and sought the indulgence of
the court for that reason. The Judge
replied:
An officer who so far forgets the
dignity of his office, and who, when
sent from home to perform official
duties, gets publicly drunk and uses
bad language upon the public high
ways of Wake County, need not plead
official courtesy to this court.
"Mr. Sanders paid his fine and left
for his native county, saddened by
his experience, but very much wiser.
His experience in the common jail of
Wake County will doubtless do him
good"

Browns Warehouse, where the SER
