On last Saturday night a dan gerous affair took place at Cannonville in Mr. Jas. Walter's store near the lumber yard. cannon fire cracker in the stove. Quickly the crowd rushed be - hind counters and elsewhere, The explosion came and as a result one piece was hurled al - most across the street, another went out of the back door, a piece marked well the ceiling overhead, and still another piece went through the counter. This was bad enough but to think yet that a piece barely escaped hitting the large suspending lamp and that an oil tank was also in the same room. One or two men came near bearing marks from the unthoughtful act. The matter has been quietly handled by the . officers and more will. result from it later. The law was violated as to the use of fire works in the towtf. May Be Smallpox. Mr. Moses L Furr, of Forest Hill, has , developed symptoms that are suspicious and indicative of smallpox.

Mrs. Furr has also declared her desire to go at first sus picious symptoms Mr. Furr has no idea where or how he became infected, and it indicates that any merchant or other man who mingles with the public is to some extent liable to the disease. The case, if it be smallpox, is not tracable to the Morris family. Notice or a Suit GlTeiJ.

A Hampton, IowTa, dispatch of the 9th tells of the most novel case, ana tne most distressing results of momentary insanity that we have ever noted. One Dr. Appleby took up' a child ten months old to examine it. While diagnosing it he became unbal anced and placed his thumbs under its chin and his fingers on the top of head a4d pressed it to death, then suddenly jumped up and whirled the child around j his head by one foot. The amazed and distressed parents the mean while were frantically trying to rotfuo theu uau. xL wa qui to j dead when they secured it. The doctor confined and . soon regained mental poise. He remembered the act but said he 1 . t : liUvl - t. ,ver to refrain from it. Religious excitement is i ina.. lieved to be the immediate cause nf the insanitv. i For flwor Fttiv Tean Mrs. WinRlo' ooV"'f Syrup has been used for over fifty years by'mil-liur-s of mother's for their children w".o tftethinir. with perfect success.

Mr. John Jordan wras killed at the Southern's shops about a month ago from lack of propefjon last Sunday morning by !sq. caution, we believe, of a fellow employe. The railroad company and Mrs. Jordan have agreed on the sum of '$3,250 .and the Southern has given the check for that amount. All litigation and the consequent ill feeling was thereby happily averted. The Salisbury Index very forc ibly says: week. Workmen struck a new "The spirit which the railroad VGin about ono hundred feet from has shown in this matter has the top of the earth and over fif been in the highest degree ty pounds of pure, native silver commendable.

'.'J?' " T Sec. Gage Frank and Prompt. . There was blame freely in dulged in for13ecretary Gage for placing government money in the New(York bank that quieted the recent panic. Congress called for his reasons for such action. The secretary comes forward with a full frank answer that seems worthy of confidence. He shows breeedent for his , action rrv,.- . uiuiu iiivfmjjr id uwuuimuiuiig u tne treasury in idleness and when deposited in the banks it floats in the financial current. In this instance it averted the worst consequences of the panic which might otherwise have been far-reaching. Congress will now have a chance to sift the matter and point out the evil if there is any in it. The secre tary frankly avows that the j transaction was not in the inter ests of anj' one bank. Tne Hemp Dilema. The great hemp ports are closed as a consequence of .the war in the Philippines and hemp is becoming alarmingly high and scarce. The government is press ing upon Gen. Otis to open the ports. This he finds himself un able to do because his vessels are all engaged in the war move ments. He will let the hemp flow out as soon as he , can but whether that will be in time for manufacturing a supply for binding twine for the reapers next summer ox nut is a quos- tion, at least at favorab'o prices.
