There - ia linking arotind loose
among the atmosphere around HickT
ory one of the most bloodr curdling
and romantic, as well as highly sen
sational recountals of murder, at
tempted murder and suicide, which
in all our long experience,
has ever come to our knowledge. It
now Dronoged to snnnrR numen
for the prcient in order that the law,
u&e xiubure, may iaK6 us course.
It is said that murder will out and
this case is no exception, but seems
to justify the statement.
-Fifteen or sixteen years ago a man
, residing near Hicko.y,
suddenly and yery mysteriously dis
appeared from mortal ken. It was
whispered about that he had been
murdered and his body cast into the
Catawba river. Not long before
that he had trouble with his wife.
In fact he shot her in the breast and
attempted to shoot himself. He was
before the Superior Court J udge at
f. ia ; rtrt,f w w
the i udge m open court that he had
intended to also kill himself, but that
the pistol would not go off and there
were only three loads in it anyway,
He created quite a scene in court
It was something about his child,
which 'he wanted to take from the
mother. He told the judge he would
have the child if it was the last act

long before he disappeared. In
course 'of time the widow married.

Tvreaf y Car Loads of 31acliliiery Side
track at Tills Place. - ;
Owing to the scarcity of lumber a
delay of several days was necessary
in the construction of the tressle on
the sidetrack at the Buffalo mills,
which has caused only twenty cars
of machinery to accumulate at the
depot, taking up nearly all the space
on the siding. Ten of these cars are
loaded with looms for No. 4 : mill of
the Odell manufacturing company,
the other ten being filled with ma
chinery for the Bnffalo mills.
On Monday the work of trans
f erring the machinery from the rail
road to the Buffalo mills will begin,
and of course the placing of same
will then be in ord;r.
Lumber for the flooring at the
Odell mill No. 4 is so slow about
arriving that the company is m a
quandary as to where they will store
their looms until the flooring is al
pat down. It will take up consid
erable space.
Hmotbersock Answered by lexicon
Editor Standard William
Smothersock seems to have run
against a problem that gives him as
' , . f, , , .
much trouble to elucidate as the
financial question eiye the ordinary
Democrat. If he had submitted the
question to the Populiats every one
ujl tutm cguiu uavB giyeu 111m u i
ciear, concise ana ewiisiactory an
swer, juBt as easy as they can solve
the financial question. True, there
would have been this difficulty
about it:. each one would have given)
him a Hiffoinh answer onrl nrnhltr
some of the answers would have
been diametically opposed to the
other, hut then you see he would
have had the adyantage of variety
as well as the privilege of selecting
the answer that be3t suited his taste,
Now as he says he is a odontolo
gist, let me suggest that he stick to
his calling and, Odon't go into
that alley after nine. Better keep
on the Main street, Willie, if you do
haye to go a little further around.
Now, were he perambulating around
Concord the mud hole would have
lemained stationary even if it were
in an alley. No, William, stick to
the ioda fountain and coca cola and
that mud hole wm remain as fixed
as Mount Mitobel; Odon't you see!
As to. the question of why you
should always get your left footlnto
the mud hole is a mucU harder

problem to solve, but with the aid
of our futurity glasses we shall not
despair of solying even this. Now
William being a man is consequently
a biped; a biped, unless he should
have been in the late unpleasantness,
has two feet. No v William being
