Brown, his brother-in-law, at ; -."-.epherd's fetation ia a rather crit ical condition. He was Injured about two weeks ago in a rather mysterious - way and has been at the point of death since, but la now somewhat im , proved. Mr. Goodman was employed t the Statesvllle - Oil and Fertilizer Com pany's plant and one night about two weeks ago was found by the superin tendent In an unconscious1 condition (but soon recovered and went to his boarding- house, where he was at- tended by a physician, Wednesday before Thanksgiving he called at the ' mill and eiiked for tols money, saying he was too unwell to do any more work, but he seemed all right and the ""milt people believed his sudden 111 ; nes was from natural cause - Wednesday night ! Mr . Goedman -went to the depot, bought a ticket for Shepherd's ' station, i, hia borne, and boarded the Charlotte train. When "Xaptain-Rowland-caned-on- htm for his icket Goodman was unable to And It and seemed to be dazed. He managed to tell the conductor where he wanted to go and paid hia fare in 'cash. The ticket was later found In his pocket. - When the train arrived t Shepherd's Mr. Goodman man aged to get oft by he aid of the con ductor, but seemed to be very weak and his mind" was unbalanced. A number of friends at the station re- allsed that ha wa in a critical con dition and took him to ' the home of his brother-in-law, Mr. fi. R. i , Brown, Immediately. Mr. Goodman was unconscious ! -when he-reached the home of Mr. Brown and the latter summoned local . fhyslcians at -once and later Dr. H. F. Long, of Statesvllle. Dt Long and the local physicians made a thor ough examination of the young man and found that he was suffering from . hemorrhages of the brain caused by a heavy blow on the side of his head. They placed him In the care of a trained nurse and have since been doing all in their power to save him. Be has since been at the point of ! death. Friday there was a slight change for the better in his condition - and he regained consciousness. Hia mind 1 still dated but he tried to explain how he received his injury. He says that h was assisting another employe of the mill put a belt on the shafting and that all he can re member Is that the belt struck him and knocked htm down. He does not remember the man he was assisting : and the oil mill people say none of , their men know of such an occur rence. Mr, Goodman also stated that he lost $10 but does not think that it was stolen from him. Mr. Brown will investigate the affair. & A few days ago Deputy Collector J. M. Davis and Deputy Marshal W. "A. 'Wright made a trip to ths north ern part of the county. While climb ing along the side of a mountain they noticed a man driving a steer to a cart loaded with meal on the side of another mountain over in Wilkes county, They immediately put after the cart and followed the tracks to ; an Illicit distillery, where the meal had been unloaded. The plant wbs a new one and had evidently just 'be gun business. A new SO-gallon still , and about (00 gallons of beer were destroyed by the officers. After de stroying the plant they took up the lail of the ox-cart again and track tjl it to residence in Iredell county. The cart was standing in the barn yard and the same old spotted ox they had seen plodding along the mountain side was in a stable eating hia feed. The man who was driving the team and who is evidently the owner of the plant will probably be arrested in the near future. Between 4 and S o'clock yesterday morning a burglar entered the home of Policeman Thomas Kerr, on Bell treet, and . ransacked every bureau and table drawer in the lower part of the house, evidently searching for money and other valuables. So far nothing has been missed. The bur glar entered the house by unlocking the back door. Recently Mr. James Kerr lost a bunch of keys and it was thought that they were stolen by one of his negro drivers. Yesterday Fred Allison, one of the negroes who had been suspected of stealing the keys, was arrested. He was searched but the keys could not be found on Ms person. The officers think that ho knows something about the keys and the case will be thoroughly Investl-' gated. CROLEEX-HEXRIETTA NEWS.

The people up this way have deckled in favor of our railroads, In advance of the meeting of the next Legislature, provided that body by rate Interfer ence should In any measure cripple the iron horse. In the one Item of fuel for our homes, churches, and furna.es, the railroads. Seaboard and Southern bring coal to our door, cheapor than country wagons can bring wood. ,lt Is a fact worthy of mention that these large towns are largely sur rounded by the finest ef timber, there being broad acres of forest land on every hand; at the same time, high as freight and passenger rates may be, onr supplies and travel come to us more cheaply by railway than by the wagons and livery stables. We would rather have more railroad facilities at present rates than -that by legisla tion our present roads should be hindered and we hurt The etiingency in money matters v. ko: vw auHurp me laooring people up nere, because they know that ultimately higher prices for ta bor will come to keep company with aavanoea prices for livinghigher meant higher. .

Ivrrls, 'the (bogus traveling salesman who worke J Proprietor Gilmer, of Hotel Ire Jell, and six other hotel men in the State for $75 each by : forged checks on the Missouri Glass Company of St. Louis, and for whose capture the Governor of North Carolina has offered a reward of S100, is still do mg oiuunvsB. jar. uumer ia in re ceipt of .a long letter from the Mis souri Glass company in regard to the operations of Harris. Toe letter sUtea.that ae haa shift ed the scene of his operations from North Carolina to West Virginia anJ Ohio, and that he Is still doing a good big business in these States. He Is now forging checks for from ISO to $40. The game of Harris is a slick one. He has letters written on the station ery of the Missouri Glass Company mailed to his addsess to the hotels he expects to visit in advance of his arrival. Accompanying these letters are the forged checks, the letters stating that the check enclosed is for expense money. It is 'thought that Harris has a confederate in the game Who mails him the letters and vhecks from St Louis. The police of that city have been working on the case and the chief tells the company that he thinks Harris Is the same man who worked a similar if a me under a. dif ferent name early In the summer and got lots of money. While hunting on the property of Messrs. Joe and John Stevenson, about a mile west of town and near Bostaln's bridge Saturday morning, a number of boys found a mall sack in the woods a short 'distance from the railroad track. The Statesvllle post office was notified and Postmaster Long and Assistant Postmaster Gouger went to the place and took posses sion of the sack. It was a special locked pouch and contained a number of letters. It is believed that some of the contents are missing, but the pouch contained only one registered package and this was undisturbed. The pouch was maJe up at the States vllle postofflee Thursday evening for No. 81?, wTilch passes through States vllle at 10:22. Mr. CI. W.

The conclusion Is that the pouch was stolen from the truck at the depot while Mr. Tavlor's back was turned before the arrival of the train. .TUMORS WIN OITT.

Mount Airy, Dec. lo. -While en deavoring to quell a disturbance in the "lower end of town." A. M.

It means that one pays from $5 to $6.60 a cord for wood In an wood country.
