By toll phone we are informed of
an accd.n. over at Mt. P.essint
this (SatunU)) moroinj. As was
' noted in our looiila Miss Margaret
llunter, who ia irom Sonh Caro
lina, but wbo ia a 8'ndent at Elizt
betb College, arrived this morning
and wai gon g out to Mt. Fleasant
to attend tbe commencement txer
cues. Prof. Oeo. F McAlliater nvt
her at tbe train and took her out to
Mt. ri.asant.
When they arrived in front of the
aminary, and when Mies Hunter
was nearly ready to get out of tbe
buggy, tbe girls of tbe ecbool came
running out and of course Fere
making quite a noise, being anions
see their lady friend, ibe horses
took fright and commenced running
away. Mies Ilanter alone was io
the bugyy and the team could not
be caugbt by any of tbtm. Wbeu
tbe horses had gotten in front of
Mrs. Misenbeiniei's at the loer end
of town t ty made a sudden turn,
striking a small tree, wbicb threw
Miss Hunter from the buggj. Some
ol'"the people raa quickly to her
and found that she was unconscious.
( fihe was tt'ken into tbe home of Mrs.
Misenheinier and pbjsician called
at once.
The accident, we suppose, hup
pened a sbort while before noon and
at nearly 1 o'clock she w still ons
conscious. Her face aDd boly is
badly bruised, though it is not
thought that any boues are broken.

He is now stationed at Fort Win

aays tbe life of a soldier out there is
a pleasure aud sometimes he thinks
it a very bard life, though never re
greis the day that he enlisted into
service
As for scenery in that country,
tbey have some of the finest. Tbe
temperature scarcely ever gets below
25 degress above z?ro. Sometimes,
chough, they have snow for months
Then their life 19 somewhat harder,

makes it very disaa;reeable to walk
guard. When they are not walking
their guard line thty are equipped
with boxes in which to stand during
the muddy weather. But every hall
hour they have to walk to tbe elher
post.
Ia this part of Mexico where he
is stationed, there is quite a number
f mines and the huuds in U.e mines,

Hunting is aho indulged in very

The duties of these soldiers art

tbey can go where tbey please, ex

We clip from the full press di
patches the following, which we
commend to those who are impa'ient
at the war moemente:
'Within the past few weeks, or in
fact ever sin e the determination
waa positively reached to invade
Cuba btfore tbe dry season next fall,
there have been published intima
tions that the delay, or what ap
peared to be the delay in beginning
the invasion, was attributed to the
navy. It can be staled on the high
est authority that the impression
thus created is wholly unjust to
e navy, and without warrant, in
fict. Tbe naval cflicers, one and
all, titie special pride in the degree
of readiness in which tbe navy was
found at the outbreak of hostilities,
and there never has been a wonunt
even when Sutnpsou's forces were at
I'or'o Bico, when the n ivy was not
npired on Instant notice to aid
ih: army in effecting a landing in
Cuba Nor, on he other hand, has
the a: my been at fault in this mat
or. It is well known that tbey
pri j-osea to tbrow a small loree,
bout 10,000, into Cuba immediate
iv and allow the remainder of the
iraiy of occupation to wait until
next fa 1 before going over. There
wer various reasons for abandon ng
bia plan, such as the discovery of
be irm illicit nt support that could
be rei.dereil the first army by the
re ur' nts; the f ict that was brought
out wiih appalling force that to de
lay tbe campaign meant tbe absolute
extt rmination of the starving recou
nt rudos, aud there were, besides,
other reasous for making haste.
These considerations caused a com
pkte change in the army plans, and
that Involved delay . To equip sn
army of 100,000 men in '30 days and
put them in condition to Gght
rained veteran soldiers on their
own toil was no small undertaking,
so that in the opinion of some of
the highest ollioirs of the adminis
tration there is no reasonable ground
for passing the criticism that there
ia or has been undue delay in be
winning the military campaign either
on the part of the army or navy."

This (Thursday) morning, Mr.
Augustus Bass, who lives about
four miles aboye Enochville, and
almost directly west of China
Grove, met with an accident jiiHt
in front of tho city cemetery. He,
together with three other men,
were on a wagon, which had on it
five bales of cotton. Some dis
tance above tho cemetery the
team seemed to want to trot toler
ably lively, but were not running
away. The road being a little
rough, one of the bales on top foil
off and knocked Mr. Bass oft also,
throwing him on the double tree.
His body then went between the
double tree and the front axle and
was dragging him along. The
front wheel of the wagon passed
over his left leg just above the
ankle and broke both bones. He
was dragged some distance betore
the driver succeeded in stopping
the team.
Drs. Caldwell and Stevens were
called in and the bones were
placed together. He was then
taken home in a conveyance.
Horro CnMlle.
There is a Morro Castle at Havana
and one at San Juan, Porto Rico.
Many persons are curious to know
wby the Spaniards have these two
CBBtles of the same name.
The word Morro in Spanish means
promontory, says the Atlanta Jour
nal, and these castles are so named
because they are perched upon com
manding elevations n the 4wo
cities.
Tbe word has frequently been
spelled Moro and is supposed rather
generally to mean "the Moor," but
tbe spelling and the interpretation
are inccrrect. There is a rocky
plateau in Mexico which is also
oalled Morro, and ou its vertical
Bides are inscriptions which were
cut by the early Spanish invaders
of that county. Morro castle, Ha
vana, was once considered one of
the most powerful fortresses in the
world, but it is out of date now,
and when the 13-inch guns of our
warships are turned loose on it,
they will wreck it in short order
There are several fortifications in
the vicinity of Havana much more
formidable than tbe famous old cas
tle with its infamous history. Dur

We can see nothing in the var
situation today changing in the.
least the status of things on
Thursday. After going to press
we received the expected news
that a moyement is to be made on
Cuba at once, also that a revolu
tion is imminent in Spain and the
Queen is considered in danger
but refuses to leave, also that
that Admiral Sampson reported at
Dry Tortngas to communicate
with the presidont.
It is a fact that no reliable news
can be bad as to the whereabouts
of tho Spanish floot, though it is
hoped that Commodore Sohloy
has it bottled up at Santiago de
Cuba.
Our First N. C. regimont is to
be under the command of Gon.
Fitzhugh Lee.
Thore is a rumor that Spain is
now onxicus for some means ot
obtaining terms ot poace. This,
though, is apt to bo disappointing
like most of our hopos in the

A letter from Harry Odell to
Mr. H M Barrow, at Forest Hill
informs us that he is now station
ed on the Yicksburg, which is now
0 miles off the coast of Havana, in
sight of Morro Castle. Id the let
ter Harry expresses himself as be
ing yery well pleased with the
exception that they are held in
suspense these days waiting for
the flying squadron or else ior a
bombardment.
Harry was first put on a train
ing boat but since tbe war begon
has been transferred to tbe Vicks
burg. He has now had his salary
raised. He describes the capture
of a prize boat by the Yicksburg
and also tells how somo Spanish
ships steamed out of the harbor
after the capture but were sent
back by the shots of the May
llowor, . 'which accompanied the
Vicksburg. Ho says it was a tol
orably lively little chase.

noon for the purpose of enlisting
voluntoerg in the Mecklenburg
nines, a new company which is be
ing organized there. Mr. II S
Gormley, of Charlotte, is captain

He Urta nimppenred.
From reliable sources we are in
formed that Mr. Will Craton, of
No. 0 township, has disappeared
and bis whereabouts are known to no
one. He waB seen on Monday. Mav
'23rd, and has uot been seen or heard
of since, lie had some kind of a
difficulty last Saturday and it is re
ported that some persens caught
bim on Sunday night and gave him
qnite a good beating.
Some entertain the idea that he
has been killed by some one,
and a search is being
made by some persons for him,
Others think that he has skipped
on account of some difficulty. It
win oe remembered that Mr. Cra.
ton's wife was confined in our coun
ty home some timo ago. he having
claimed Ihat she was crazy. But
the facts were found oat, the aboye
gentleman hud been mistreating her.

thought wasfi'ally wounded in the
wreck of the military train near Sa
vannah. The young man is getting
along very well, and there now seems
to be but little doubt that he will
recover. O ie of bis lungs, though,
is affected, it is found.
