At Gastonia the other day a
drunken man threw his right
arm through a window and sew
cred the artery in his wrist. 1t is
said that when the accident oc-
Cured some members Of the I'm
known Tongues" sect happened
in or were called in and instead
Of making some common-sense
effort to dress the mans wound
they proceeded to try to stop the
flow of blood by means of incan-
tations, prayers, etc. Naturally
the man kept on bleeding and
was only prevented from bleed
ing to death by the timely arriv-
al of physicians. 1t is hardly
probable, though, that the 'Un-
known Tongues" people were
convinced that they were on the
wrong track to heal the mans
wound.
Faith, fanatic faith, once wedded
To some dear falsehood, hugs it t,
the last.

Fire Last Night.

A tenant house at the Lumber
ton Cotton Mills, occupied by Mr..
Tom Hester and family, was de-
stroyed by fire with practically
all it's contents last night about 9
o'clock. No one was in the house
at the time and it is not known
how the fire originated. The
house was valued at about $500,
practically covered by insurance.
The blowing of the fire whistle
a second time several minutes af-
ter the alarm of fire was given
gave rise to conjectures as to the
meaning of the second blowing.
Superintendent Mcclure says
that the second whistle had no
significance other than the first:
both whistles merely indicated a
fire.

The proceedings of the board
of county commissioners for this
month show that by special order,
Mr.. M. G. Mckenzie, as seere-
tary of Lumberton Board of
Charities, was paid $3.50 for one
Ed. Lime, a poor unfortunate
who was in distressed circum-
stances and became a charge on
that town, while a case similar
and as much worthy in Red
Springs, amounting to about
$1,000, which had been paid by
our town board, was turned
down by the aforesaid board of
county commissioners. A dis
tinction without a difference. -
Red Springs Citizen.
The citizen is laboring under a
misrepresentation. There is diff
ference. Mr.. Lime has at no
time been a charge upon the
town of Lumberton. The Board
of Charities of Lumberton is not
connected with the town govern
ment in any way but is simply
an organization of citizens for
the relief of destitute cases that
may be brought to it's attention.
Mr.. Lime has been entirely help
less for some time at the hospital
here and the board has been do
Ing all it could for him, and has
spent at least $40 for his relief.
1t did not ask the county com.
missioners to refund any of this
money, but simply laid before
that body the case of this unfor'
tunate man and asked that some.
thing be done by the county
There is not room for him at tn,

ers simply agreed to pay thu
