Missing Editor Found in Woods.

Charlotte, N. c., Dec. 30.-Editor
James A. Cromartie, of Sparta, Ga,
who disappeared mysteriously from
hotel in Hamlet, N. c., November
9, was found to-day wandering IN the
woods near Ellenboro, Rutherford
county, more than hundred miles
from the scene Of the disappear
ance, by a farmer, who is OBTAINING
him until relatives can be communi-
Gated with. Cromartie, who is over
sixty years old, is said to be derang-
ed and does not know his own name,
but Identification was established by
pictures and stories printed in State
newspapers. He arrived at Hamlet
the nj ght of November 9, at which
place it was necessary for him to
change cars for Clarkton, N. c.,
where he purposed visiting relatives.
During the night he disappeared,
leaving his baggage at the hotel. Two
sons of the aged man took up the
search for him promptly, expending
much money for advertising and de-
tectives, and only relinquished the
quest two weeks ago, when all clues
proved futile.

College Declines Money.

A dispatch from Washington, Pa
on Friday says that Washington and
Jefferson college has relinquished
claim upon a $4,000 endowment
because it was feared the widow and
six children of the donor needed the
money more. Before his death, a
year ago, the donor, who is a gradu-
ate, made a codicil to his will be-
oueathing the $4,000, which was
in addition to $4,000 he had al
ready set apart for the college.
President J. D. Moffat announced
the rejection at a meeting OF the
board of trustees on Friday, saying
that to accept it would diminish the
estate so as to leave an insufficient
amount for the support of the widow
and her children. It is believed the
donor overestimated the value OF his
estate.

Newberry, Dec 2S.-While out

Lake, of this city, accidentally shot
himself with parlor rifle, and the
most serious fears are entertained as
to the result of the wound.
The 22-calibre bullet struck the
lower portion of the breast bone on
the left side and penetrated por-
ton of the lung. Young Lake was
hunting with two companions, Ralph
War and Harold Boozer, and they
had stopped for dinner in the old
burying ground behind the cemetery.
After their lunch young Lake picked
up his rifle and his companions heard
a shot. They carried him to the
road, where he was placed in buggy
and brought to town. He is attended
by Drs. Pelham, Mower and Kibler.

LEAVES ASYLUM TO WE'D.
Stunt Pulled Off by a Lunatic in Vir.
ginia Hospital for the Insane.

Stan ton, Va, Dec. 2S.-Staunton
is use to lunatics and their ways,
there being more than 1900 of them
in the Western State Hospital here,
those who are harmless and able to
take care of themselves being allow
ed to come into the town and go
about at certain hours of the day, so
that strangers have to ask who is
crazy and who is not, the crazy ones
at large being apparently as sane as
any one.
But Staunton has had a new expe-
rience with a lunatic, the facts con-
cerning which have just come to
light. The lunatic fell in love with
handsome female attendant, and
she reciprocated. AS a result when
he was permitted to come up to town
a few days ago, she came over and
met him and the two hied themselves
to the city clerks office, and as the
clerk does not know lunatic from
anybody else, and as the answers to
his inquiries were all made in due
and ancient form, he issued the IL
cense. They hunted up DIR. o. F.
Gregory, the obliging pastor of the
Baptist church, who is just as inno-
cent when he sees lunatic, and the
knot was tied and the pair went away
rejoicings, but as the squel shows,
to short-lived happiness.
The man in the case was A. II.
McGhee, committed from Shenandoah
county, who gave his age as thirty
four and his occupation as plum
ber. The young woman was Miss
Alice Lille, of Winchester, aged 35.
A pretty close watch is kept on
the wards of the hospital, and the
nuptial knot had not been tied very
long before McGhee was taken in
charge and hurried to the hospital,
and the attendant was discharged,
ending the romance, but what the
status of the parties now is is puz-
zling the public, if not the authorl-
ties.

RICHARDS WOULDN'T SIGN.
Question Involving Railroad Pass
Before Attorney General.

Columbia, Dec. 2S.-Attorney Gen.
eral Lyon has been asked to pass on
a very interesting question and one
which has never been brought up be-
fore in the State.
Several nights ago John G. Rich
ards, Jr., of Kershaw, who was re-
Gently appointed member of the
railroad commission, presented his
pass to a conductor on one of the
trains of the Seaboard Air Line Rail-
way. The conductor asked Major
Richards to sign a provision which
would exempt the road from dam
ages should an accident occur. Ma
ior Richards refused to sign the tick
ct. He paid his fare to Columbia.
The law requires that the railways OF
the State shall haul the members of
the railroad commission. Major Rich
ards sent the question to Attorney
General Lyon.
