A face that is some woman's for tune is generally a good many fel low's misfortune. It is now in order for the Duck toirn (iurtto to hem) its article, "Another North Carolina Tragedy," and proceed to give us a friendly lecture on our lawlessness, without even suggesting a possible remedy. What in the name of common sense it Atlanta going to do with those 20G Chinaman that are on their way to the exposition to take their place in the Chinese village? Laundrymen must be scarcc in the (J ate City. It is claimed that the shipment of horse meat from this country is in juring the meat business abroad, and therefoie Secretary Morton has ordered that meat for shipment be inspected, and that horse meat shall be so marked as to show what it is without biting. Mr. Eckles, Comptroller of the Treasury, says the greenbacks are payable in silver or gold, but it is the greenback which depletes the Treasury of its gold. Well, why then pay gold? Why not pay what the law provide*, either silver 01 gold? Echo answers why. There is said to be a fortune ol >1 IK), 000 waiting for Parker Valen tine*formerly of Indiana, but he ii j" afraid to come out and get it, be * cause he killed a man some yeari aero in Minnesota, and he is atraid t< fc* tul ii? ui _ der. With the present slowness an< b uncertainty of justice, $100,000 wil clear a man of almost any crime. n Governor Carr gave the pnblii quite a surprise last week by ap pointing Charles M. Cooke, of Louis burg, Secretary of State to succeed 1 the late Octavius Coke. Mr. Cooke " is one of the most prominent Bap tists in North Carolina. He has served in tlie Legislature one session as Speaker of the House, and is rec i on i ied as a bright Democratic speak er and writer. He was defeated for Congress last year . The largest regimental loss on either side during the late civil war ' was sustained by the Twenty-sixth North Carolina ? Pettigrew Brigade, Heath's Division. They had a full quota of 800 men on July 1, 1863, but in the single battle of Gettys burg lost 588 men, 86 k*illcd and 502 wounded, not including the "miss ing," of which there were 120. Ac cording to Col. W. F. Fox, in one company, 86 strong, every man was hit, and the orderly who made the list out did so while suffering from a wound in each leg. Governor Carr gives some inter esting facts regarding the State farms. The crop of corn is expect ed to be 154,000 bushels, and of pork; there will be 18^000 pounds. At the Caledonia farm there are 2500 acres in com, 1900 in cotton, 130 plows, 670 convicts. At the Northampton farm *212 convicts, 1200 acres in oorn, 650 in cotton, and 60 plows. At the Halifax farm 146 conviots, 38 plows, 1100 acres in oorn and 425 acres in cotton. At Roanoke Rapids there are 77 con viots. The health of all is remark ably good. The editor ot the Raleigh Cauca sian haa been interviewed aa to the probability of the Democrats and Populist* co-operating and. is quoted as follows : "There is a sentiment among Democrats for oo -operation with the Populists. Prominent Dem ocrats have written letters asking If a thing of that kind oould be ar ranged . Our people have not re plied. 1 have heard of no saol* ad vances made by our party. We are not jumping over each other to get into the Democratic lines. We in tend to star in the Populist party and go nowhere. If anybody wants to go with us he can oome. We do pot objeot to giving up oar name, providM the other parties will give up their names also.' A TERRIBLE MURDER. Bob Dockery Kill* an Irishman by the Vame of Brice. On last Tuesday afternoon ^about 3 o'clock at an illicit whiskey akop, some two miles from Murp^ on1 tlie Hangingdog roa<l, ko|.l by a white woman named Sis Roberts, there was a horrible murder com mitted. The victim was an Irishman by the name of M. IiriVb, familiarly known as Pat, who had been ped dling spectacles through the coun try and boarding at the Widow Hub bard's in our town. He was a gen teel fellow and had all the genial qualities common to the sons of Erin, and when he had a jager of whiskey it tingled joyfully through out his entire being. So on this occasion he offered some spectacles for sale and said he would give a pair to anybody that was a good Democrat, and threw off good humoredly on the Republicans. The woman who kept the house called bun to her and advised him to ! be quiet. lie took her hand and 1 said h? would do so, and just at this ! time Bob Dockery, one of the three ' Dockery boys and son of Eli Dock '? ery, who were present, caught up a ' chair and struck him on the head from behind, crashing his skull, some two and a-half inches above the ^ right ear. Brice fell and after a few minutes scrambled to his feet He ! did not know who struck him o? why they did it, but seemed to rea * lizc that he was badly hurt. Latei 3 -he knelt down and graved, nnrl ~ spoke of his mother and sister. n< died Wednesday morning about ' o'clock. There were present at the time o j the killing Sis Koberts, Klmira Keid . Tom, Joe and Bob 'Dockery and . McLelland, colored. Others ?ime | up soon after and saw what wis done , and heard declarations of who did , the killing. ( The remains of Brice were in terred in the Methodist cemetery Thursday afternoon. An effort was made to apprise his relatives of his death, but they could not be located, but we understand that be has relatives in Cincinnati, Ohio. The material point at the coron er's inquest was testified to by all the witnesses that we heard. The coroner's jury, after being in sessien half a day, rendered a ver dict that the deceased, known as M. Brice, came to his death from a blow on the head inflicted with a chair in the hands of Bob Dockery. The chair with which Dockery struck and killed Brice was broken all to pieces, showing that the lick was a powerful one. The witnesses before the coroner's jury all testified that Dockery and Brice had no hard words. In fact, some claim that they bad not even spoken to each other. I a|t Friday Coroner J: L. Bart rong and Deputy Sheriff Hugh Sneed made diligent search for Bob Dovkery, but he oould not b^**>ond. He has not been seen since Wed nesday morning, and it is thought that he has left the State.. The man who pines (or otbei* people's lives is not only silly bat stupid. The world you covet wu not made by discontented people, who were slwayg looking about for something better to do. Yon may want to iravel, to see great works of art and beautiful cities. Do yon ever realize that these things were created by people who stayed at home and did their proper task and did it gladly and joyfully? Yon have the same world to live in that other men have had, and what yon do of yourself counts, and every bit of assistance which yon take from another weakens you so muoh and makes you small in the eyes of men. It is a hard matter to convince a homely woman thai there is a per fect looking glaas in existenoe. It reflects on ber. We do aot speak in disparaging tones when we say that a woman who wears bloomerabas loose habits. A Pleasant Time The Western NortirC'arolina I5ap tist Association convened at Marble on Thursday before a'ud embracing the first Sunday in September in the new church at that place. It is ?A hntma (tf iuu^i K ??cr. completed, that will honor "*o the membership, and this the citizens are hospitable ni/'d kind. We spent a night ww; J. H.^add and one with C. C. l>ra e aod made the acquaintance of *"eir pleasant families. If we had v-.Mted all who invited ns we would have spent many days. The ministers, whose names will appear later, paid us jj-iny compli ments for the publications we have given them dtu'ing fir years that arc past and the good ^>.it had been accomplished through *he columns of our payer. > We feel grateful to fliem for their appreciation of the fi-t, neverthe less we feel that it jj^nr duty to emphasize the fact th*?Tne greatest part of the Christian <?->rk is being done by the l}aptisT?F*;tle, especi ally in the rural dfej-VHs, ana we hope to be able to do more for them the coming year than ' V the past. Mr. J. P. Mor(jan, of Asheville, corresponding secretary of the Wes tern North Carolina Association, subscribed for the Soo .t to keep in touch with the movunents of the , churches in these western counties. Popular Superstition. If a cow breaks into p. garden, it is a sign that some one 'n the family will die within six morVis. * Other signs of deal!.' 1"a' the liowl-^ ii?H vi m ^ug I squeaking of ^ mouse behind the ' ?iek person* bed or the flight of a bir<* or bee into the room. ' To cut one's nails on Snnday ' brings the devil with one all the week. To breaK a looking glass brings bad lnck seven years. To turn a feather bed on Sunday is bad luck. The bad effect of seeing the new moon through glass may be mitigat ed by turning over the money in one's pocket. For a clock to strike while a preacher is giving out his text is a sign of deatfr in the con gregation. Crickets and spiders bring good luck. 80 does it to touch a hunch back's hump. So does it to have one's teeth set wide apart or to meet a piebald horse. If the right ear itches, some one is praising; if the left, somebody is abusing; if the foot, one is soon to walk over new ground. There's luck in finding a pin or a horseshoe, or in stumbling upstairs. If an unmarried person sits be tween a man and wife at dinner on any day between Christmas and Twelfth Night he^ will be ma^Ted within a year. Welsh girls knock on Christmas eve on the hen house door. If a hen cackles the knocker must wait another year. If a roos ter crows she'll be nwrijfed within the yeae. A Sensation in Catawba. There is a sensation at Hickory, Catawba county, -N. C. Seventeen years ago John Mifcuiro inarrit i Ku phronia Bohck. - He cuspected her within three years after their mar riage and became jealous). One nipht be shot her in the breast and she was found lying on a back street. She recovered. He was tried, pleaded bis <&se and spent a year in jail. They made up. Soon after he left one night, raying he ^ *ing to Mis brother's, *Jiree m ???"'>??? 4. He never returned. Seaiching parties examined the country for miles, but to no purpose. His widow, whoee behavior oaused comment and hints, married Jacob Holler in a few weeks. They lived amicably together until Ave weeks ago, when he angered her. She said he might also disappear. He left the next day and told a horrible story. II? declared that in a dense thicket the woman's brother laid in wait for Aiagnire and shot him. He said he was present, and that Ma guire's body was buried in this lonely thiuket. 1 he other day search was made for the grave and it was found that the body had been removed. Holler now says h? was drunk when he told of the mnrder. True Education. Editor* Scout: Will yon please give me space in the columns of your valuable paper to gives short view tin education? A s we look abroad and behold the multitude of children who, buoyant with (ift> a^? ?|>i<>W thiihlg' the road*, streets and iri?lon patches throughout our countiy and land, and while witnessing their present condition, so joyous and free from care, reflect that when a few brief years shall have passed away they will he important and busy actors 011 the stage of lifp ? each contribut ing in a great or less degree to aid in improving, extending and perpet uating the civil and religious and literary privileges which we now en joy, or sending forth through our land those pernicious influences which proceed from ignorance, insu bordination and idleness ? it becomes a question of momentous interest to every good citizen, and particularly to every parent, to ascertain |ww th t, latter shall be avoided and tlie form er secured ; or in other ^watds hrtw the children of the present shall be trained and influenced that they will become the men df the future, whose examples and powers will tie made an honor and blessing to the world. In pondering the subject we be came convinced that education, in its broadest sense, thoroughly and generally furnished, Must do the work or it will not be done. Par ents, money invested in the minds of your children is money well invest ed. It will bring a golden harvest in the future. M. E. Clakk. in a recent teller tu tne maiiiiinc turers Mr. W. F. Benjamin, editor of the Spectator, liushford, N. Y , says: "It may be a pleasure to you to know the high esteem in which Chamberlain's medicines are held by the people of your own State, where they must be best known. An aunt of mine, who resides at Dexter, la., was about to visit me a few years sihce, and before leaving home wrote me, asking if they were sold here, stating if they were not she would bring a quantity with her, as she did not like to be without them." The medicines referred to are Chamber lain's Cough Kemedy, famous for its cures of colds and croup; Chamber lain's Pain Halm for rheumarism, lame back, pains in the side and chdst, and Chamberlain's Colic, Chol era and Diarrlura Kemedy for bowel complaints. These medicines have been in constant use in Iowa for al most a quarter of a century. The people have learned that they are articles of great worth and merit, and unequaled by any .other. They' are for sale by M'. C. King & Son, Druggists. Hotice. All parties indebted to Gurley & Co., are earnestly requested to make settlement at once.
