Tho Independence Monument 1
An enterprising citizen suggests
that the next Legislature be peti

Independence Monument a fund for

this sum before the cloae of the 20th
celebration. 1
CAUGHT OH A TEESTLE.
A flew Yorker in a Tight Place-He
l Barely Misses the Engine His Dog
Mr, H. D. Duckworth, a cotton
ouyerwnois well known here, ar
rived at the Central, from Mt Holly,
wmay, on nis way to New York. By
a hairbreadth, Mr. Duckworth es
caped being dashed to death by an
engine on the Carolina Central roadj
last Saturday. He had been out
bunting, and was crossing a high
trestle about a mile west of Mt Hol
ly. He had traversed 100 feet of the
trestle and still had 60 feet to go.
wnen the mail train came booming
around and through the cut ' just
ahead of him. The train was behind
time and was coming at great speed.
Mr. Duckworth at once realized his
perlL He knew he could not retrace
his steps, so bending all his energies
he started out to beat the train to the
end of the trestle. He was weighted
with gun, birds and shot but he
reached the end of the trestle and
leaped off just as the pilot of the en
gine brushed his coat The dog was
knocked off and killed. The engin
eer had seen Mr. Duckworth's peril,
and at once applied the brakes and
reversed the engine, but for all this,
It was only Mr. Duckworth's running
powers that saved him from a terri
ble death.
Asao-
The Constitution'! Charlotte Page.
nunday's issue of the Atlanta Con
stitution contains a page of Char
lotte matter, including cuts of Thos.
A. Edison, CoL Wm. Johnston, Capt
John Wilkes, Wm. J. Davis, Alexan
der Graham, E. B. Springs, F. Oliver,
and K M. Miller, Jr. Each cut Is
labeled.
The cuts of Capt Wilkes and Mr.
Davis are pretty good, but the one
labeled "E. B. Springs" makes Eli
look like he had just come out of a
bear fight Anybody would forgive
Prof. Graham for shedding tears
over his portrait especially when
bis eye strikes that little black bow
knot necktie of forty years ago which
the artist represents him as wearing.
Bob Miller's chin is set a little bias,
but otherwise Bobehows up all right
The matter descriptive of Charlotte
was arranged by Mr. C. F. King, the
Constitution's Charlotte correspond
ent, and so much of our people and
our city as it touches upon is quite
wcR done.
A Mother and Two Daughters Walk
All the Way From Illinois.
Two Charlotte ladies were on the
way to visit a relative who lives six
miles from the city, last Saturday,
wheu they saw an old white woman
and two girls hobbling along in thejLon Dem of Taylor vs. John D.
road. One of the girls was almost
blind and the other was on crutches.
The ladies invited the crippled girl
to ride In their carriage to "the turn
In the road," and she accepted.
Along the way the ladles learned
quite an interesting history of the
trio. They were from Illinois, and
had walked every mile of the way
from that State. They were bound
for Lincoln county to visit relatives
there. They Would always spend
the night at the houses of negroes,
as they had heard that the negroes
hi this section were better than the
whites. They got money by begging
alonor the road. They made from
six to ten miles a day. After a few
weeks with their Lincoln relatives
thy expect to tramp back to 11II
uois.

The theatrical season of 1880-90 will
close next Friday night with a grand
spectacular -resen't.-ition of the
dramatized version of Fanst. The
favorite opera will be heard in Char
lotte in our native tongue for the first
time, and the mere mention of the
name of Lewis Morrison in the title

splendid performauce. The drama

8AM JONES.
The Date for the Opening of hii 8er-
vioei - at the ; Charlotte Tabernacle
Officially Set,
;,The Sara Jones meetings in Char
lotte, will be opened at the big taber
nacle, at 10 o'clock on the morning
of Thursday, April 24th. This is
official.
Mr. C P. Wheeler yesterday re
celved wltten notice to that effect
from Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones wrote
from Fort Worth, Texas, where he is
now conducting one of : the very
greatest of his great revival meetings,
He says: "My meetings in the Char
lotte tabernacle will begin at 10
o'clock on the morning of Thursday,
April 24th. We will have three ser
vices daily. One at 10 a, vol, one at 8
p. hl, and one at 7:30 p. m."
- Capt F. W. Ahrens, the builder of
the tabarnacle, Is making rapid pro
gress, and will have the structure
completed, the seats arranged and
turn over the keys to the building
committee some days before the day
set for the beginning of the meetings
When Sam Jones arrives here, all he
will have to do will be to go to the
tabernacle and put his batteries into
play. The 200-voice choir and the
five or six thousand sinners will be
there ready for him.
Questions "Propounded by Ex-8heriff
Oooper.
Ex-Sheriff Cooper wants a few
things explained. The trouble he is
in Is clearly set forth by a letter
which he Indited today to Attorney
General Davidson. In his letter to
the Attorney General, Mr. Cooper
says: "My term of office as sheriff of
Mecklenburg county expired on the
first Monday in December, 1888, when
my successor gave bond and was
qualified as sheriff, and also a tax
collector having been elected, gave
bond and was qualified. During my
term of office as sheriff I collected
the taxes. Although my term of of
fice had expired in compliance with
the provistonsof the machinery act
of 1889, 1 advertised and sold for the
taxes a lot of land in Mecklenburg
county, and gave my certificate of
said sale as required by the statute.
The sale was made on the 7th day of
May, 1889. Now in a great many
cases the land thus sold for taxes has
not been redeemed and the purchas
ers will want a deed for the land they
bought
Now the question arises who is the
proper official to make said deed? Is
it the present sheriff of Mecklenburg,
the tax collector, or I as the ex
sheriff.
I would refer you to the case of Doe
Allen,
page 846 N.C. Reports: ("A sheriff
who sells land for taxes, and goes
out of office before he makes a deed,
cannot afterward make such a deed.")
I have asked several lawyers as to
my duty in the premises, and they
seem to differ, or cannot give me
positive information as to whether
I or the tax collector should make
the deed. Now will you be kind
enough to Inform me who is the pro
per person to make this deed?"

Streets to Delight the Racing
men.
The firemen who come to Char
lotte to run their reel races on May
20th will find the prettiest racing
course tone secured outside of l'enn
sylvanla avenue in Washington
Citv. The streets of Charlotte that
have been worked under the new
system adopted by the city very
much resembles the asphalt avenue
of Washington. They are hard and
level as a floor, the only difference
being that the top surface of the
Charlotte streets Is not so hard as an
asphalt laid street and when not
wind-swept or sprinkled, have a
slight coating of dust on them.
With this exception they are fully
equal to asphalt streets. Every
stranger that come here remarks
on the smoothness and beauty of our
streets.. The firemen will not find a
rock as big as hickorynut on the
racecourse.
