Throw King's Jttoontain Into a Great State of ExcitementNine Marked Men Attempt to Kidnap Mr. Geo. Cooledre's Children, bat "Hi!--Four Captured and Committed 10 Jail. Intimations of a very exciting at tempt at kidnapping m the town of King's Mountain, night before last, reached the city yesterday, and last night's mail brought us the following particulars in regard to the affair: "Our usually quiet town was thrown into a fever of excitement last night by an attempt on the part of a gang of villainous looking men to kidnap the children of Cant a edge, superintendent of the King's Mountain gold mine. It will be re membered that Capt. Cooledge has a suit pending in the courts against H.mma D. Cooledge, his wife, for di vuiue, ana some time ago in a suit for the custody of the children, tried before Judge Gilmer at Chambers in the city of Charlotte, the Judge gave the children to Capt. Cooledge, and it is presumed that our town is indebted to Mrs, C. for the trouble of last night, as she has been making every effort in her power for some time past to get possession of the children. But be that as it may, last night as the north bound express was nearing King's Mountain, the cars from some cause or other became detached from the engine about two hundred yards below the deDot. and a party of eight or nine men in rub ber overcoats, left the train and pro ceeded in a body up town and in the uirection 01 tne house of Mrs. Cool idge. The alarm was instantly given and quite a number of our citizens were detailed by the marshal as special police. The house of Mrs, Cooledge was soon afterward sur rounded and four of the gang cap tured. The others, we suppose, gave "leg bail." A preliminary trial was had to day before A. V. Falls Esq., and one of the party gave evidence for the State. His name is C. A. Kimbrell and hails from Spartanburg. The other 3 were bound over to appear at the iioAu term 01 tne .superior court, m a A Loai'lana Convention.- A Negro Lynched by Negroes for Killing a nntie nan.

The Lincolnton Press received yester day contains this item that will interest our Charlotte readers: "Prominent among the ft-w enterprises to which the great timber resources of this State have given rise is the spirit-cask manu factory of Mr. G P. Kidder at Moss Neck, Robeson county. Mr. Kidder is not only manufacturing a cask that is pronounced by all judges to be far superior to any made North, but he is making these casks from timber gotten here at home, aud so popular have his casks be-ome that he finds it impossible to keep up w ith his orders. In order to secure better shipping facilities. Mr. Kidder contemplates moving his manu factory o Charlotte. If he does it will open up a new market for such timber as he uses, and will result in inucn zuod to this section." W here is Grayson ! A telegram was recived in the citv yesterday from Ches-iCarley & Oo stat ing mat they would have a man here to day to take charge ol their office Gray son's whereabouts are still uaknown to the officers Tbe Georgia detective who was here working up the case, left yes terday for his home, remarking that there was no use in fooling with this case, any longer. How Grayson irot his information of the contemplated arrest is Btill a mystery. It wan evidently communicated to him by some friend who knew the police had the papers. but how anyone outside of police circles became possessed of such information is the question that bothers. It is certain that Grayson did not leave Charlotte or any of the railroads, and he must have gone through the country and boarded the cars at some neighboring station. That he has gone there can be no doubt. The Georgia authorities will have to set theii trap again and watch and wait for the festive forger. A Tuikr. a Coll and ibe lloy. Major Jim Harris bought a Christmas turkey yesterday. He had a colt and wanting to send both turkey and colt to his farm near the city, pressed his nephew, a lad of about 10 summers into service, with instructions to lead the colt and carry the turkey in his hands as he teared tie turkey might flop its wings and cause the colt to run off and throw the b y. The young fellow start ed off according to directions, but on arriving at the bridge oyer Irwin's creek, he concluded that he would ride the balance of the way and lead ing the colt up to the bandrailing of the bridge, started to mount, when the turkey gave a vigorous flop of its wings. The colt bolted off the turkey flew away and the little fellow was precipitated down the embank men ft the ground below, a dis tance of fully 15 feet. He was tenibly stunned by the fall, being knocked in sensible for a short time, but do bones were broken and he is now rallying from the effects. Why the boy chose the bridge, the very worst place he could have selected for tr ing his experiment, is one of these questions that are handed down from generation t generation un solved. The hero of this adventure is a son of Mr M. L. Harris, who lately removed to Mecklenburg from Concord, and one time not long ago while riding on a wagon load of corn, be fell off and the wheels ran over him,, but he sur vived. Any one who picks up a stray turkey about this neighborhood should consult with Major Harris. The colt has been caught. Hortford'M Acid Phoitphat. As a Nerve Food. Dr. J. W. Smith. Wellington.

For the sake of the balance of mankind who may be suffering, I wish to give you my experience with one of your Georgia remedies. I have been afflicted with scrofula for more than twelve years have had sores on me as large as a man's hand for that length of time, and last summer was so bad off that I could not wear any clothing. Everybody, includ ing myself, had given me up to die, and said I would be a dead man in three months. I had taken hundreds of bot tles of all kinds of medicines had spent hundreds of dollars with physicians and had ruined my system with mercury and potash, when a friend told me of the wonderful cares of Swift's Specific, I got it and began its use, . and soon found it was just what I wanted. In a short time it cured me sound and well. Thousands of dollars could not buy from me what Swift's Specific has done for me. The county officials, and in fact everybody in the county will bear witness te what I have written, for I was a well known case. , Youif respectfully, R. L.
