RALEIGH, N. C, JULY 13, 1891,
SUSPENDED.
The Swain county Herald, owned
and edited by Mr. P. W. Wiley at
Bryeon City, suspended with its last
week's issue. Mr. Wiley was induced
to embark in the journalistic field by
flattering prospects and promises of
support, which have not been reali
zed and he yields to the inevitable.
Swain county can ill afford to dis
pense with Mr. Wiley and the Herald
in its effort to keep abreast with the
times. His has been the experience
in so many newspaper ventures, that
hardly a community is to be found
that has not the shattered wrecks of
such efforts hid about in upper rooms
and back offices, in the shape of un
used type and presses, here and there.
Southern communities do not accord
that patronage to newspapers that
would be to the interest of such communities.
Shot Dead by His Friend
From a pistol which he pointed in
fun at his comrade, 14 year-old
Thomas Crooks, of No. 2634 Lawrence
street, James Crossett, aged 16 years,
of No. 2339 Leithgow street, sent a
bullet yesterday that crashed into
his friend's head, and killed him
almost instantly. The tragedy took
plaoe in Fairhill Square.
Crossett carried his father his din
ner, and the latter gave him $7 to
give to his mother, and, in addition,
5 cents to spend as he pleased. On
his way home he met some boys,
including Crooks, standing opposite
Fairhill Square, and stopped to talk
with them. He asked Crooks to go
buy him some cigarettes, but the
latter refused. He then pulled the
$7 from his pocket and said, "How's
this for eight days work?" He
handed Crooks the money and dared
him to run off with it. The latter in
fun attempted to do so when Crossett
pulled his pistol from his pocket,
aimed at him and fired. Crooks fell,
and several of the boys immediately
ran for an officer.
Crossett made no attempt to es
cape, and was taken into custody,
while Crooks was taken away in the
Episcopal Hospital abulance. The
bullet was found to have entered
over the left eye and penetrated to
the base of the brain. All that was
possible was. done, but the unfor
tunate lad never regained conscious
ness, and died at 2:30.
The families of both the lads are
highly respectable, and the shock
was terrible. Crossett's motber was
at the Eighteenth district station
house, and was allowed to see him.
She was almost prostrated from the
blow, but her son, with coolness re
markable in one of his age, attempted
to comfort her, saying :
"Don't cry, mother; this is it not a
hanging matter."
He insists that he did not know
that the pistol was loaded, and that
there was no quarrel between him
and Crooks. In this all the boys who
witnessed the snooting agree.
The weapon was a small nickel
plated smooth bore breech loading
pistol of 23 calibre. Philadelphia
Becord.
Uprise Sense.
There is a trick practiced by one of
the West End tow horses on the
Cambridge rdreet hill which the
listener has no doubt has been noticed
by a great many people, and which
is well worth being put on record.
The horses stand in line at the foot
of the hill, each, when he returns
from a tow, taking a position at the
rear. In this way each horse gets
his turn at towing. Among the tow
horses at this hill is a big necked
gray, a stout and wise old fellow.
He has been seen, when the towboys
are temporarily around the corner,
as they sometimes are, to sneak ont
of his position when he has got to the
head of the line and quietly move
around to the foot. In this way ho
dodges his turn at pulling the c ir up
the hill. Boston transcript.
Pruliiic Apples.
Yorkville Enquirer.
Mr. John J.Oarvin, of Yorkville,
on last Saturday, left at this office a
specimen of a wonderfully prolific ap
pie tree that is growing in his garden.
This specimen consisted ot a great
cluster, presenting very much the ap
pearance of a huge bpnch of grapes.
On the branch there were sixty four
apples, ranging from one to two ana
a half inches in diameter. The main
stem, around which the apples were
clustered, was not more than fifteen
inches in length, and the cluster, at
the largest part, measured twenty
seven inches in circumference. This
cluster is only a specimen of the
tree, which Mr. Garvin describes as
literally loaded in like manner.
Water in the Colorado Desert.
The important fact is now estab
lished that there is a continuous
stream of water flowing on the sur
face in the channel of the new river
from the Colorado river at a point
fifteen miles below Yuma to the Sal-
ton sink, This news was brought
here this afternoon by parties who
aarived from the desert. The Indians
say that water has been running
from the Colorado into the new river
ever since February last. The rail
road officials here are now convinced
that the water in the desert lake
comes from the Colorado river. One
of the exploring parties which is now
out will examine the break in the
bank of the Colorado river and see if
the water cannot be stopped.
A Powerful Government.
Three hundred men employed at
the Niedringhaus Rolling Mill, St
Louis, went on a strike yesterday and
the works are now idle in conse
auence. The men want Mr. Nied
Vinghaus to agree to a new schedule
of prit es, which be refuses to do.
Richmond Dispatch .
We do not desire to enter into a
controversy as to whether the United
States Government is now a consoli
dated central despotism or not. We
had thought that the facts settled
that question. We gave sometime
ago the history of the pretended rati
fication of the thirteenth, fourteenth,
and fifteenth amendments Also, we
have told our readers again how
West Virginia "the bastard product
of a political rape1' was erected into
a State. We have shown how the
United States Government controls
tho private business of tobacco manu
facturers and others. In fact, we
have shown that, however it may be
theoretically, this Government is in
fact one of unlimited powers Look,
for example, at the emancipation of
the slaves. The UnitedStates Gov
ernment has done whatever it chose
to do, and will always hereafter have
its own sweet will in all matters
Karl M. Carpenter was Instantly
killed by lightning early yesterday
morning at Michigan City, Ind. He
was in the same bed with bis wife
and child, neither oi whom were iu
J u red iu the lea.-! .
When Alexander Pope visited the
Orient nearly two centuries ago, he
obtained a slip of one of the willows
beside the waters of Babylon, where'
on the children of Israel hung their
harps in the days of captivity. Plant
ing the w&nd upon his return to Eng
land he secured a thrify tree in time.
From the latter Martha Washington
procured a twig, which it is said she
brought to Arlington Heights, with
the same result. And now a tree
grown from a slip taken from hers
has just been planted in the Indiana
State House grounds.
