- IS HE DEAD? I
A Hard-Worlunjj, ludti.trlou. Col
ored Ma,, of Mb. 3 Pounded Up
Several days ago Ed. Beaver, a
hard working and industrious negro
of No. 3, went to a "dipping." Like
others he had on a little of the
newly manufactured. The "dipping"
was at Maecedonia and it was there
that Absolem Graham and others
jumped on him and beat him up
terribly. 1
The trouble was precipitated by
prejudice towards Beaver. In the
fray all turned against Beaver. Ab.
solemO, Absolem, admits that he
hit Beaver oyer the head with a
chunk and downed him. Beaver
went to his horn, his face was
mashed up and bleeding and a hole
wa3 knocked in his head.
- Believing that farther injury
would ba done him, he disappeared.
Where he is no one knows. "Is he
dead ?" is the question many are ask-

Effects of the Drought.
In conversation with farmers, we
learn that the cotton is greatly ef
fected by the drought and the dam
age will be considerably felt. Green
cotton bolls are drying up and trees
are dying. The Raleigh correspond

'Major Wilson returned here yes
terday from Morganton and report
ed frost there yesterday and the day
before. The weather here was cold
enough but the exceeding dryness
saves us from f roat. There has been
no rain here for 45 days. Wells are
drying up and the streams aro gets
ting very low. The thermometer
which for days hung around the 100
degree mark has fallen suddenly be
low fifty degrees. Of course such a
sudden change makes itself felt yery
perceptibly and fires are found to be

A True Dream Story From Afthcvlllc.
Yesterday afternoon the 17-
months-old girl baby of James
Green, living, fiye mile3 south of
Asheville, suddenly disappeared,
Hundreds of people were searching
for the little toddler. One of the
searchers was Jacob Morris, em
ployed on the Vanderbilt estate He
searched till midnight and ' then
went home and to bed where he had
a yiyid dream to the effect that the
child was lying asleep in an old
field threevquartei-s of a mile from
her home.
Morris started for work this morn
ing, but soon felt compelled to turn
back and visit the location indi
cated in his dream. There he found
the baby sleeping soundly where it
had wandered, rag-doll in hand,
head pillowed on a stoae. She was
unharmed except' that her legs were
torn by briars, Asheville special to

A DISCOURTEOUS LAWYER,
He Dla Not Act iike a Gentleman
From STorth Carolina.
In Kentucky an unfortunate mer
chant saw bankruptcy confronting
him, and to save a portion of his
property he invoked the name of his
wife and the assistance of a friend.
The creditors instituted proceedings
to recover certain property, and in
the course of the proceedings his
friend, a native of North Carolina,
was put upon the stand. All went
well, says the Louisville Post, until
the witness was subjected to a rigid
cross-examination by a lawyer, him
self a native of North Carolina. The
witness went blundoring along at
such a rate that his lawyer felt it
necessary to interfere and tell him
that he was not required to answer
questions which would criminate
himsslf. ;
After the close of the case, which
resulted disastrously for our accom
modating friend from North Caro
lina, he expressed indignation at the
humiliati&n to which he had been
subjected. "1 was never in my life
treated with so little courtesy," he
said. "The opposing counsel did
not act at all like a gentL-man, sir.
I expected entirely different treat
ment, especially as I learned that he
was from North Carolina, and' he
knew I was from that State. No;
sir, in the Id days no North Caro
linian, sir, would cause another
North Carolinian the slightest em
barrassment becautni of so paltry
matter, nor would he seek to set in
terrogator) f; eake him "con tradict
nimseir. iio, sir, it is unpardon
able, sir, and all for the purpose of
increasing the dividends of a few
Yankee clients whom he never saw.
I am convinced, sir, that' your law
yer never came from North Caro
lina at all, sir; he must have come
from somewhere else.
