E-irly yesterday, when the farmers were beginning to congregate about the square, a tall, bony, clear-eyed man, , with high cheek bonos nd long mustache, stood against the mall box at Jordan's corner. Two Observ er men, were nosing around for some sort ot a sensation. The older one said ; to his companion: ; Look i it that pair of, mustaches over there!"- 'Here comes Col. R, 0. Colt," said the younger man, "let's see If he can tell us .'.who' he':ls.;;;;,; :'':K;.' l "t bet that he Is 'not a native" of these parts." added the first speaker- 'Col. Colt, thre Is the only man In this country that has longer pair of mustaches than yqur own. Turn and view him!" ' j The colonel wheeled about, shot his shoulders up a time or two. shook all over, giggled and aaid: Ho is my neighbor. Come here Woodje!" .a V;- The reporters shivered,1" for , they did not know but what the stranger had heard some part of their remarks about his great mustache.. But. no sooner had tho words left Col. Colt's lips than did the visitor turn and e:nlle. These are my newspaper friends, Woudle, they are good fellows . watch." said Col. Colt. "They will write you up." Col. Colt waa very gracious in hla Introduction. "What are you doing here. Col. Woodle?" asked ono of the scribes. "Bringing In a bum h of cattle from Wautauira." "How many have you?" Thlrtv-two." Col. Woodle's steers weighed from 900 to 1,250 pounds apiece and brought from $3.G0 lo $4 a hundred. Col. Woodle comes from Bhull's Mills.. THE LYERLY MTRDKlt TRIAL. It Will Comf Up at Stanly Court Net Week. The negroes, charred with com plicity In the Lyerly murders at Bar ber's Junction last summer, will be tried at Stanly court next week. Those accused are Delia, the widow of Jack Dillingham, who was unlaw fully hung at Salisbury, with Nease and John Gillespie, and Henry Gilles pie and George Irvln, and they are here. In the Mecklenburg county Jail. There Is conwlderablo speculation as to the result of the trial of these negroes. Men who have studied negroes do not believe that as shrewd a negro as Nease Gillespie would have taken a whole pack of women and boys with him to commit ho dastardly a crime as tho one that was done In Rowan. Thone who for get their prejudice against the negro no not believe that tho women hail anything to do with tho. murder of the Lyerlys. It Is pretty gencrnlly believed that Ihe guilty neroes died at the ends of lynchmen's ropes at Kd'lfbury. Therefore, the Interest In Ihe coming cases Is very Insignificant. There arc soma who say. "Well, w ought to hang the other three aim get rid of that many more negroes. Such pprsons are not humans, much less Christians. Mr. C. II. Hlx a Visitor. Mr. '. H.

' Seeing a large and com modious sight-seeing automobile' car I engaged a seat for a turn around the town. I was one among the last few of ; tfne 10 or - more , passengers to get In. Being fond of studying people I began to look about me and scan my fellow travelers. ' After de voting some time, to the ladles of the party ' my eyes fell upon a very distinguished looking gentleman on the front seat, with . the driver. " That's the statesman of the group,' said I to myself, as I admired 'nia long gray locks, his splendid shoulders and noble bearing. I could not see hla face, ' for while others twisted about and rubbered he re mained like a statue. ,, "But, Just before we started, my friend rose in his scat, turned half around and said: 'Ladies and gen tlemen: With your kind attention we will see this 'nlstorlc and beautiful, city.' "I noticed that the speaker wore collars and cuffs that fairly gllstoned. " 'Celluloid.' ald I to myself. "My man had fallen a peg or two but 1 had not given him uo. for his little speech was couched in elegant language. "When we had sh$t down the pike for a half hour or more we came to a cement plot, where t'ne dignlfl'.id person said: 'As we have came around the corner I will call your ate teptlon to the fact that this here ce ment plot was once a bayou that was nav-l-gate-able to within 100 yards of Wnere we now stand. " 'Having saw this until you are satisfied I will show you the most famous graveyard of the country.' "On arriving at the cemetery the guide rose, and spoke after thla fash Ion: 'Ladles and gentlemen: With your kind attention, and after you 'nave unmounted, we will proceed to this grand old place.' "I got to the place where I could not seo the scenery for watching my friend In celluloid. In all my life I have never before been so carried away with a fellow's hack and bo dis appointed In his front.

"Oh, the credit business is all right when you are sura of your customer." When His Mind Changes. "I think I am a pretty good mer chant." remarked . a well-known tradesman to a reporter yesterday, "until I begin to take stock and learn how much dead stuff I have, on hand, stuff that I ought never to have bought."
