DEAD ON THE TRACK.
A Colored Man Ran Over and Crown
ed One of Semblance to Humanity,
As Engineer W. T. Newman, of the
fast mail on the Air-Line, kept a sharp
glance ahead of his engine while emerg
ing from a cut about 10 miles from the
city, yesterday morning about 6 o'clock,
a sight met his eyes calculated to sick
en the stoutest heart. It was a man on
the track, but crushed almost out of all
semblance to humanity. There was on
ly time to see this when the engine and
train rolled over him, crushing and
grinding him worse than before. As
soon as it could be stopped the train
was run back and an examination was
made of the remains. They were iden
tified as being those of Andy Beatty, a
colored employe of the Air-Line com
pany, whoso principal duty it was to
guard a section of the track some miles
back from the spot where he was
found. His head was mashed into a
pulp, both legs were cut off above the
knees, and he was more or less mangled
in every portion of his body. He had
evidently been dead for some hours,
and the remains were left lying to be
removed with the sanction of the prop
er authorities.
On the arrival of the train in the city,
Mr. Sam Pegram, an officer of the com
pany, was informed of the affair, and
he proceeded to notify Coroner W. N.
Alexander. This officer summoned
a jury, and transportation being
provided for them they were
taken to the spot for the purpose of
holding an inquest.
Little could be learned of the dead
man in connection with the time, or
circumstances, of the supposed accident
Green Bigham and Sam Berryhill, two
colored men, testified to having been
with him at 9 o'clock the night before.
A man named King, living two miles
from the place, testified that Beatty
had takea supper with him at 10 o'clock
the night before, but between that hour,
and the moment he was seen by Engi
neer Newman, the next morning, no
one could be found who'knew anything
of his movements. A knife was found
upon his person and a pocket book
which was cut in several places but
contained a 85 bill intact, in one of its
departments. His coat was found un
der Paw Creek trestle, several hundred
yards this side of the spot where he was
found, and a piece of his shirt was pick
ed up on the other side of Catawba
river about one mile and a half distant,
in the opposite direction. It was learn
ed that four trains, beside the fast mail,
had passed over the road, two coming
and two going, that morning between
12.30 and 6 ojclock. Which one, if any,
it was that killed him, and how many
passed over him, are questions yet un
decided. The jury after consultation
deferred their verdict until the matter
can be further investigated. The re
mains were tarned over to hs relatives
and the coroner and jury returned to
the city about sundown. 1 '
Beatty is said to have been a reliable
and trustworthy employe, by officers of
the railroad company, and much sur
prise is expressed by them that he
should have come to his death in so
careless a manner as the circumstances
seem to indicate.
THE HEAT.
Some UiutM about the Weather and
How it Evil effect mar be Coun
teracted
Vennor's weather predictions have
again become true. He predicted in
tensely hot weather for July, and thus
far the heat has been intense enough to
satisfy the most enthusiastic Vennorite.
Here in the city the mercury has reach
ed as high as 102, and the air has some
times been so close that one seemed to
be in a furnace. This state of the
weather is generally productive of an
unusual amount of illness and suffer
ing, but while in other places where it
has not been hotter than here there
have been numerous cases of sunstroke
and serious illness from the heat, we
have, so far, escaped without any mark
ed change for the worse in the sanitary
condition of the city. This satisfactory
state of things is doubtless owing, in a
great measure, to me saiuurious situa
tion and condition of our healthy local ty,
but while we congratulate ourselves
upon thi3 fact we should not be over
weening in our confidence in it and
thereby be induced to neglect taking
proper precautions to assist these natur
al advantages in the work of retaining
our health. rJphe Augusta Evening
-ZWjfls says ; "The question of diet is
one that should be earefully studied at
such' a time, and a oourse of light,
wholesome food be adhered to. Fruit
or berries in the morning are a good
foundation for the day's work, and a
cup of iced tea is much healthier than
hot coffee. Care should be taken dur
ing the day to avoid drinking too much
ice water, which is one ot the greatest
dangers of a heated term, and frequent
ly brings about fatal results, soda
water should be avoide4 wfth alrnost
etual resolution, for the syrup's "mixed
with'it are apt to sour onHhe stomach,
while the" soda water does not quench
thirst. Of course, all people of common
sense will know that during this weath
er they should abstain from brandy,
whisky, rum, gin or any other intoxi
cating drink. As little meat as possible
should be eaten, and certainly not more
than once a day, and late suppers should
he avoided as the pestilence that waik
eth by night. Naturally, there must be

Facin aud Figures ipmu the Postal
Card,
During the year ending April 30,1881,
190,000 postal cards were sold at the
post office in this city, showing the
stupendous hold this medium of com
munication has taken upon the public.
The year preceding thm only 125,000
passed through Iftbtiahbfs ot bur post
master ancl his' assistants, showing an
increase- in the consumption for on
year of 05,000 pards. In AUta, a
place many time? larger than Char
lotte, during the period first given
above, the consumption was 720,000$
less than four tiroes as much as ours. x
The postal card system was first
adopted by the United States govern
ment June 8, 1872, and the Postmaster
General was authorized and directed to
issue for Bale'qar$j8wiith a dnS cent,

arvest
In 1869-70, the commissioners of in
ternal revenue reports in the United
States 864 registered distilleries, 444 of
which were in operation, not classified
as to States.
In 1879-80, there are 8,401 distilleries
in the United States, 1,301 of which are
in North Carolina, (i. e. 496 more than
in any other State) and 373 of these for
the distillation of grain; add to the
1,301 distilleries 1,800 licensed retailers,
and you have 3,101 places for the en
couragement of drunkenness (over 31
to the county legalized) besides the
blockade and jug trade.
MONEY IN "WHISKEY.
The average cost per year for liquor
to each inhabitant in the United States
is $15. North Carolina takes at least
her share, 1,400,000 population giving
$22,000,000 whiskey money, enough to
build each year a railroad from Paint
Rock to Beaufort harbor, A distiller
is required to make two gallons of
whiskey to each bushel of corn :
Tax on 2 gallons, at 90c $1 80
One bushel corn 70
$2 50
Two gallons whiskey at $1.30 2 60
Gain of whiskey over bread 10 cents.
Some young men in Lincoln county
had at a husking about enough whis
key to represent 2 cents of this gain;
a disturbance is caused by that 2 cents ;
a young man is killed, another is in
dicted for the homicide ; he is acquit
ted ; $750 costs are put on the taxpay
ers, $150 for lawyers fees and expenses,
2 cents gain in whiskey leaves $900 to
the county.
WHISKEY PAYS TAXES.
Whiskey pays about $42,000, accord
ing to the last auditor's report, to the
State and county. If prohibition pre
vails the men who sell will pay the li
cense. This will save at least the $17,
000 paid to the State ; and if there were
no saving in criminal and pauper ex
penses by banishing whiskey it would
require but cents on $100, or 5 cents
on $300 to raise this amount, the prop
erty of the State being over $150,000,000
in value. The whiskey tax does not
come from the whiskey manufacturing
counties; 13 counties pay 62 cents of
each dollar of it as follows:
Craven $1,161
Edgecombe 2,063
Granville 2,334
Halifax 1,672

Mecklenburg 1,155

In the Salisbury congressional dis
trict, outside of Fiowari county, which,
pays $471, there is only $13.50- paid as
county tax, to wit $9 in Wilkes and
$4 in Forsythe.
The thirteencounties which pay $26,
769 of the whiskey tax furnish 344 con
victs ; by the last penitentiary report
they cost $34,000, or it takes $7,671 of
other taxes to support them.
But some one says they are mostly
negro counties and they would steal
without the whiskey. Let us see how
this is: New Hanover county has

Association of this city met at the resi

evening, 18th instant, at 6 o'clock.
The meeting was called to order and
opened with prayer by Mr. Spencer,
who prayed earnestly for the welfare
of the association , and the cause of
temperance. The roll was called, the
minutes of the last meeting were read
and approved and the reports of the
committees were received and adopted.
Fourteen new names were added to
the list of workers, after which A. W.
Calvin addressed the association in a
very eloquent speech one which was
well calculated to rouse the people to a
sense of the dangers of the encroach
ments of the monster whiskey, which
seems to be gradually sapping the very
liberty of our race. Mr. Calvin was
listened to with marked attention and
a vote of thanks tendered him by the
association.
A motion was made to meet Monday,
July 25th, at 4 o'clockp. m., at the resi

the old Strange place.) The motion
was adopted.
A motion was also made and carried
