waHhsw Enterprise.
The great union revival meeting
here, conducted BY DR.. S. R. Belk Of
Atlanta and Rev. G. ". Belk Of
North Carolina, which had been con-
tnuously in progress for twelve days,
came to a close last Thursday night
with perhaps the best and most in
teresting service of all. The congre-
cation at this service was by far the
largest during the entire meeting,
and after the house had been packed
to its fullest possible seating capaci-
ty, more than a hundred people had
to remain on the outside.
As last weeks paper carried a
pretty full account Of the meeting il
is not deemed necessary that great
deal should be added at this time.
Ii has been generally pronounced
one Of the greatest revivals ever held
in this place within the memory Of
this generation, and the great and
good work done gires promise Of
permanency. No high pressure
methods whatever were used at any
time, and there was no excitement
from beginning TO end.
The visible results Of the meeting
have been rather difficult to get at,
as its influence and the work done
were by no means confined to the
narrow limits Of the town, but ex-
tended far out into the surrounding
country. No one counted or even
tried to count the number Of public
confessions, but there must have
been considerably more than one
hundred. There have already been
quite number Of accessions to the
different churches here in town, with
perhaps others to follow, and the
church membership has been greatly
revived and strengthened. The in
fuence of the meeting will long be
felt.

The Sundial.

The principle of the sundial is
too well known to require descrip-
ton. In it the gnomon, cut to the
latitude of the place where the dial
is to be erected, is pointed due
north, while the lines which mark
the hours are set out at certain cal
culated intervals. The sundial pos
sesses, however, the great disadvan-
tage that during the noontide hours
from IL a. m. to p. m. it is prac-
tically useless, because the shadows
cast by the sun, almost vertically
overhead, are SO short as to make
the dial useless as a clock during
these hours. Also the dial is fixed in
one spot, and cannot be carried
about from place to place.--London

rlonkey FiddIed and Fell Off of
House Top.


waxhaw Enterprise.
Most of US perhaps have heard the
story about the monkey playing a
fiddle on pumpkin vine, but Squire
S. ]. Richardson Of this community
tells Of an instance where a monkey
played a fiddle on the roof OF a house.
Mr.. Mace Richardson, an uncle of
the Squire, lived in the neightor-
hood Of Bethlehem church, now on
the Prospect circuit, and during his
lifetime moved away to Arkansas.
But later in life he became dissatis-
fled with his adopted State and re-
turned home, walking all the way
from Arkansas. Mr.. Richardson was
a good fiddler and thought a great
deal Of his fiddle, which he played
very much.
On one occasion a man came
through the country with pet mon.
key and spent the night at Mr.. Mace
Richardson's. After playing some
music for the stranger Mr.. Richard
son laid his fiddle on the bed and
the two walked out of the room, leav.
ing the monkey alone. The monkey
took the fiddle, climbed upon the
comb Of the roof and began to see
saw across the fiddle strings with
the bow, making musical noise.
Mr.. Richardson and his guest went
out to see where the music was and
found the monkey sitting upon the
comb of the roof playing the fiddle.
Looking down shyly on the spec
tators the monkey began to Jump
back and back and back till finally
he fell backwards off the end Of the
roof and with the fiddle came crash
ing to the ground. The stranger
picked up his pet and Mr.. Richard
son his fiddle, and the two enjoyed
the joke together.

AN INDIAN LEGEND.
The Curse That Was Called Down
Upon Mount chiesrro~a.

Upon Mount Chiesrro~a.
A weird legend is attached TO
Mount Chicarrowa, which is one Of
the chain Of White mountains and
lies twenty miles southeast of
Mount Washington as the crow
flies.
Many years ago Chief Chicar-
rowa, the last of his tribe, inhabit-
ed a rude hut of birch bark on the
southern slope of the mountain and
supported himself BY hunting and
fishing. In their season he gath
cred berries and wild grapes, which
he exchanged among the farmers in
the valley for salt, meal, molasses
and other Injuries dear to the In
dian heart, including an occasional
Jug Of iirewater. 4 white man went
up the mountain one day to drive
down his COWS from the rich pas
lures on the slopes and plateaus,
and he never came back. His body
was found in clump of blackberry
bushes near old Chicarrowa's cabin
with his skull crushed in. The In
dian was seized and. despite his
protestations of innocence, was con-
demned to a speedy death. lie was
given the choice of a bullet from
the gun Of the dead mans brother
or a more dignifed exit from life by
means of voluntary leap over the
steep cliff.
Chicarrowa asked and received
permission to commune for the last
time with the Great Spirit. Stand
ing on the edge of the precipice
over which he was so soon to make
his death leap, he extended his arms
with a sweeping gesture that en-
braced the whole mountain, while
he called down his curse upon it
and every living thing thereon from
base to summit. AS he finished the
solemn invocation he leaped over
the verge and was dashed to death
on the rocks far below.
A few weeks later the real muir
derer was discovered and made to
pay the penalty of his crime, and
the regretful farmers gathered up
the chiefs remains and erected over
them the customary monument of
his tribe, rough pile Of logs laid
crisscross to form a square. The
grave can still be seen on the
mountain side, though many of the
logs have fallen in. Since the In
dams tragic death it is said that no
cattle will live on the mountain, but
pine away and die, though the
grass grows rich and green almost
to the top. When harvested and
used for winter fodder no living
thing will thrive on it. Nuts on the
are empty when they fall,
blackberrics shrivel on the bushes
while they are still green, and the
wild grapes wither and drop long
before they are ripe. The gray rock
where Chicarrowa fell is splashed
and spattered with red, and the
country people point to it and say
it is the Indians blood.-Exchange. |

Few of those whe talk about the
marriage knot realize that the
knot was ever anything more than
a mere figure of speech. Among the
Babylonians tying the knot was
part of the marriage ceremony.
There the priest took a thread of
the garment of the bride and an
other from that of the bridegroom
and tied them into a knot, which
he gave to the bride, thus symbol
izing the binding nature Of the

Several years ago, Rose, the Social
list, seemed to be imbued with the
idea that he should dispute with
Bowers the right to the Seat in Con-
gress from this district. We now
notice the gentleman of commu
nal persuasions has modified his am
bitions and decided to accept a job
as Alderman in the little city of
Biloxi. Rose can be depended upon
to find something wrong in the mu-
nicipal affairs OF that town, for which
he is the specific remedy, if he can
but get his plans adopted. So long
as Socialism takes but sane reform
expression in politics to which they
have temporarily won small measure
of power, its not dangerous only in
the tendency. Let them win their
way enough into popular trust by
such reform advocacy and then they
would take advantage of having cap
tured sufficient of the offices of the
country to commence putting into
force some of their peculiar and true
soclalistic ideas, which are dame
trically opposed to progressive
Americanism.
