The Farmers Who Signed for Fletch er dr Co. are !ot Nomewlial Per. tnrbed in Mplril. There was an anxious crowd of farmers in the city today. They were looking after tome small notes they had signed. The News told about it in last Monday's issue. Fletcher & Co., manufacturers and patentees of the combination wire and slat fence company, got a lot of farmers here.as they did in Kouth Carolina. In can vassing Mecklenburg, they used the name of ex-sherlfT Thomas H.Cooper as god-father to the swindle, aud in fact the sheriff has one oi their fence making machines, though he says he did not authorize them to use his name. Ho professes to be very iu d'gnaut that they did so, and thus succeeded in getting a lot of notes signed. The sherilT says lie will pay his part to help bring Fletcher A Co. to Justice. Fletcher A Co got altogether!) notes of 4125 each, In Mecklenburg. He went to Danville and sold them to a gentleman there, who was here yes terday to look Into the matter, hav ing heard that there was something crooked about It. The banks here declined to discount the notes aud then the Danville purchaser smelt a mouse. He left at once to overhaul Fletcher A Co, In the meantime, the uotes he holds are good and can be collected. The farmers signed what they thought to be contracts, whsn it turned out to le negotiable notes. Ther are meeting in town to-day to see what can be done about It. Ths Danville man brought excel - ! lent letters of recommendation here. and was evidently imposed upon in the transaction. The farmers were, at any event, and what they are now trying to do is to get these notes back. - "Lying rides on debt's back." In crease the taxes and you oiler a lirsi premium for this pomicious prac tice. Wpljr Mrmarlnl. A memorial service of the one hun dredth anniversary of 'he death of John Wesley will Uu held on next !

I n Yraligatlon fine Casein Provi dence Towimhlp, Dr. H. M. Wilder, county physi cian, returned la9t night from Provi dence township, where ho investi gated the case of supposed smallpox, and reported that the suspicions were groundless. The sick child is Hae Caston, a 6-yoar old son of Mrs. Ju lia C. Caston, and the family is lo cated on the farm of Mr. John L. Rae, and not the late Joathan line, as stated in the Nkws yesterday. When Dr. Wilder arrived at the house the boy was off with his grand father at work in a new ground, one mile distant, and was sent for. The doctor, after a full examination, pro nounced the boy suffering from her petic eruptions about the mouth. In ordinary language a herpatie erup tion is nothing more than a fever blister. The scare originated from the fact that Mrs. Caston recently arrived here from Temple, Texas, ami there was smallpox there when she left. Her husband remained at Temple. Roth Mr. and Mrs. Caston, as well as the boy, were vaccinated. The boy was vaccinated three times, but it didn't "take" either time. On Suu day, Kith, the first Sunday after Mrs. Castou's arrival here, the boy was. prostrated by a high fever. He had frVer on the two following days, and then the eruptions about his mouth j was noticed. Out of an abundance! of caution, Mr. Rae had the case iso lated and rumors of smallpox spread quickly. Dr. Wilder's opinion is sustained by Drs Watson and Hun ter, who also examined the case. Amend the charter and you let in the entering wedge. The wedge in. ami the log is soon laid open. Philadelphia' Progre. Sometime ago the city of Phila delphia got into the hands of progres sive men. The old "mossbacks" were given back seats, aud the infantile i financiers started a niovemout to build a $1100,000 city hall in llvoj years. Then they expanded the scheme to $10,(100,000 In 10 years, and have now actually spent I",000,(00, 1 andthorc Is no limit specified for th time or money wanted in the future. I The .
