A PLUCKY GIRL.
She Goes Down in a Well and Rescues Her
Nephew.
[Durham, N. C., Sun.]
One day last week Miss Minnie Bla
lock, daughter of Wm. Blalock, a well-
to-do farmer of this county, waa visit
ing her sister, Mrs. Charles Anderson,
who lives about four miles from town.
Miss Minnie, with several others,
among whom was the little four-year
old son of Mr. Anderson, were attracted
by a wasps’ nest at one end of the house.
There was also an open well near the
corner of the house, and in their ex
citement, and watching the wasps, the
little boy kept backing, unmindful of
the well, until he went over backwards.
The well was 28 feet deep, with four
feet of water. This turned attention
from the wasps to the child. For a
moment or two there was consternation.
But Mise Blalock, with undaunted
courage, took in the situation and she
at once proceeded to go down in the
well and when she reached the water it
was just in time to save her little
nephew, who was about to sink for the
third time. She succeeded in pulling
him out of the water, and, strengthen
ing herself, she brought him to thetop
and safely landed him on terra firm*.
AN IMMINENT OHIO LYNCHING.
Military Called Out to Present the Death of
a Young Negro.
A special from Washington Court
House, O., says that William Dolby, a
young colored man under arrest there
for rape committed upon Mrs. Mary
C. Boyd, would be lynched, but no at
tempt has yet succeeded. The crime
was committed a weak ago yesterday.
Mrs. Boyd is 52 yeaUs old and lives 9
miles in the country; She has identi
fied Dolby.
Threats were made freely against the
prisoner so that Sheriff Cook took spe
cial precautions against being surprie sd
at the jail by a mob and called out the
local company of militia. The troops
are now dismissed, but are under arms
at their homes ready to respond in a
moment’s notice to the sheriff’s aid,
while at the jail he has a strong bar
ricade. The colored people of the
neighborhood are as bitter against
Dolby as the white people.
4 Richmond Banker Robbed of $15,000
Worth of Jewelry.
BALTIMORE, Mo.—John P. Branch,
president of the Merchants’ National
Bank of Richmond, Va., and a delegate
to the bankers’ convention here last
week, was robbed-of $15,000 worth of
jewelry. Mr. Branch and his wife
stopped at the Hotel Rennert. When
they retired on Friday night, they
placed their valuables, consisting of a
gold watch, diamond rings, etc., on
the bureau, but forgot to lock the
door. The key remained without.
The following morning the door was
slightly ajar and the valuables were
missing. The loss was at once reported
to the proprietor, who in turn called
in the detectives. They have no clue.
4 Statue in New York to Dr. J. Marion Sims.
New York City.—The statute in
bronze of Dr. J. Marion Sims, the fa
mous Southern physician,was unveiled
in this city with appropriate ceremonies
on Saturday,- October 20th,at 3 o’clock
in the afternoon in Bryant Park, Forty-
second street and Sixth avenue, ad
dress is being made by Dr. George F.
Shrady and Dr. Paul F. Mundi, after
which the statue will be presented to
the city and accepted by Mayor Gilroy.
This was a memorable occasion as it is
the first instance of the erection of a
heroic statue to the memory of the
medical profession in the United States.
Is a Frog a Fish I
Is a frog a fish? This is the problem
which the officials of the Canadian
Fishery Department have recently
had to consider. Petitions were for
warded to the department from the
inhabitants of Northumberland,
Ontario, praying for a close season
for frogs. A lucrative trade in the
shipment of frogs’ legs had been done
in that county, but it was discovered
that the very time that the frogs were
spawning is one when the greatest
havoc is wrought among them.
Possibly a change will be made in the
fishery laws so as to embrace frogs.
The officers'say that in their embryotio
stage frogs are certainly fishes, but
later on they take an amphibious
character.—Chicago Herald.
A Telephone in Churcn.
Supporters of the telephone system
in Birmingham can now be placed in
communication with Christ Church in
that city, and practically take part in
the service. The telephone.wire runs
right into the pulpit, and the listen
ers at the other end of the system can
hear the tolling of the bell, the pray
ers, the responses, the singing and
the sermon. Even casual coughing
among the congregation can be dis
tinguished. There are many classes
of persons on whom this new depar
ture confers a great boon. The sick
and bedridden, who have long been
prevented from attending any place
of worship, can now be present, if not
in the flesh, in the hearing.—Mew

IMMIGRATION FROM THE NORTHERN AND
WESTERN STA TES.
Six Hundred in One Party to Come From
the Northwest.
L. T. Lee of Lee Pope, Ga., writes
that he is “receiving many letters in
quiring about Southern fruit lands,
climate, soil, products, etc. A gentle
men from Northern Missouri has just )
been here.looking for a location for
stock raising. He was much pleased
with the country and people, and left
me a proposition for a large tract of
land. I am in correspondence with
gentlemen in Providence, R. T., about
fruit lands, and also with another in
Chicago, who. with some associates,
will come South in a few days to look
over this section. I have also had with
me a gentleman from California, who
is investigating the fruit growing ad
vantages of this locality. I am in re
ceipt of a letter from a friend who has
been in the Northwest for several
weeks, and he says there will be more
people coming South this winter than
ever before. He knows of cue party
of six hundred who will come in Oc
tober.”
JAMES BROWN’S MURDERERS.
Two of His Mill Hands Committed the Awful
Deed.
Statesville, N. C.—W. H, Deaver
a detective from Asheville, N. C., has
ferreted out the murderers of James
Brown, the manager of the Long Island
Cotton Mills at Monbo.
When accused of the crime by the
detective Elam Josey, an operative at
the factory on the night shify, called
upon God to witness his innocense,but
on the way to Newton Josey said he
did not kill Brown but he knew who
did do it. “Thomas Covington, a day
hand in the mill, and son of the fore
man has a key to the store door. He
and I have often gone in the store at
night and taken little things; but Thos.
Covington went alone the night of the
murder. The next day he told me
he had to kill old man Brown.”
The magistrate sent both men to
Nowton jail, their guilt being fully
established, and every indication show
ing angry and indignant, outraged
neighbors who wished to take the law
in their own hands.
Elam Josey is 27 years of age and
married. Thos. Covington is 22 or 23
years old and is also married.
Progress of Southern Methodists.
In an address before the General
Conference of the Methodist Church in
Canada last month the Rev. Dr. E. E.
Hoss, fraternal delegate of the M. E.
Church South, delivered an eloquent
address. He said: “We began with
about 500,000 members. When the
civil war came in 1861 we had increased
to over 700,000, of whom 207,000 were
persons of African descent—a larger
body of converted heathen than could
then be found in all the mission stations
of the world. In many communities
there was a great preponderance of
colored over white members. For ex
ample, Trinity Church, Charleston, S.
C., reported in 1863 only 385 white
members and probationers, against 700
colored; and Bethel Church in the same
city reported 383 white, against 1,492
colored. * * * In the States of
South Carolina and Georgia alone we
had at the latter date sixty picked and
capable men—none other were deemed
fit—whose sole occupation it was to
minister to the religious wants of the
colored* people. ”
Finds Our Section Most Prosperous.
“I travel constantly through Vir
ginia, the Carolinas and Georgia,”said
P. B. Beard, of Salisbury, N. C., who
represents a large Philadelphia whole
sale firm, to a Washington Post report
er, “and I do not exaggerate when I
say that those States are in a more
prosperous condition than they have
been at any time since the war. The
farmers are getting out of debt and
are raisng their own supplies. Most of
them have corn enough on hand to last
two years. Despite the fact that the
cotton planters have got a very low
price for their product, what they did
get was so much clear money. Our
factories are running on full time, and
some of them by night as well as day. ”

4 Transcontinental Flyer.
A fast train is to be put on between
New Orleans, La., and San Francisco,
Cal., that is to be a record-breaker.
Arrangements have been concluded be
tween the Southern Railway Co. and
the Southern Pacific Railway by which
the latter’s Washington and Southwest
ern vestibule limited train from New
York, Philadelphia and Washington
will make immediate connection at
New Orleans with the “Sunset.” lim
ited of the Southern Pacific. This
combination will shorten the time be
tween New York and San Francisco
from six to twelve hours, and between
New Orleans and the Pacific coast more
than twenty-four hours. The entire
distance from New York to San Fran
cisco, 3,963 miles, will be covered in
117 hours. These transcontinental
trains, besides being flyers, will pos
sess all the elegance and comfort of
the finest-equipped trains in the coun
try. The “Sunset” limited will con
sist of four cars. The car next to the
engine will be a composite car, contain
ing a baggage apartment, barber shop,
bath-rooms, a cafe, a library and smok
ing parlor. The next two cars will be
en section sleepers, with double draw
ing-rooms, with beautiful and elabo
rate decorations and upholstering. The
last car will be a dining-car, elegantly
fitted up with the latest conveniences.
These cars, it is claimed, are the finest
ever built at the Pullman shops, and
were.made expressly for the Southern
Pacific at a cost ef $20,000 each. The
whole train will be full vestibuled and
lighted by Bietsch gas.
Considering the difficulties in the
way of grades encountered, this train
will be a famous one, and can be ac
cepted as a high type of the advanced
and progressive spirit which prevails
in American railway management. It
is also one of the steps towards im
proved train service which the Soutl -
era Railway Co, is arranging for its
lines. The arrangement for this ser
vice goes in effect on November 1,
How fearfu'ly is joy an^ sorrow mixed in
this sublunary world. I hear the funeral
knell, I see ths messengers carrying flowers—
pale flowers—to place upon the casi-et. A
mother, a wife or a daughter was suddenly
called away to rest; called without warning.
A heart that was loving had ceased to b at and
IP w there is sorrow in that household and des
olation in that home I see the moth' rless
children as I pass and the stricken husbind.
The good old father and mother have come
from their distant home and are broken down
with grief.
As I looked upon the lovely wreathes that
loving hands had wrought and sent to adorn
the dead, I recalled Mrs. Hernan’s beautiful
lines:
“Bring fliwers—pale flowers—o’er the bier to
shed,
A crown f >r the brow of the early dead ;
Though they smile in vain for what once was
ours,
They are love’s last gift—bring flowers—pale
flowers.”
As I journeyed home I saw more flowers that
kind friends were sending to my house and I
knew that they were for the bridal o casion—
not the death, but the nuptial of a daughter
dearly beloved, and 'hen another veise of the
sweet poetess’ cam* to mind:
“Bring flowers, fresh flowers, for the bride to
wear!
They were born to blush in her shining hair ;
She is leaving the home of her childho id's
mirth—
She has b d farew 11 to her father’s hearth,
Her place is now by another’s side—
Bring flowers, sweet flowers, for the fair young
bri’e.”
For a time I was sad and my heart was sick.
But I remembered that life and death and
marriage and the separati -n of friends is part
of the common lot. It is not good to grieve
over that which we cannot help. Certainly
there is no cause to grieve for our house, f ir it
is not far to where our child has gone—only a
block or two away, and she will come home ev
ery day until we get reconciled. She was away
at college for months and we got reconciled to
that. The difference is that then she loved us
better than she loved anybody, but now she
doesn’t. He has cut us out, as we boys used to
say when a fellow took our swe theart away.
It is a case of larceny after trust. We trusted
the young man with her until he began to
claim the goo is and wou'dent give them up
Strange to say, we acquiesced in the theft and
endorsed it in the church and congratula'ed
him on his success. Wecouldent help ourselves
and concluded it war the best thing we could
do. But she will be missed. No she won’t,
either, for she is a miss no more. Yes, she will
be missed by all of us and Aunt Ann and the
dogs, too, for every h : ng loved her. “Dat man
no bisness take Miss Tessie away from here, but
I reckon he could' nt he p it,” said Aunt Ann.
■‘Looks like everybody love; dat child and ev
erybody send her sumth n. Never seed so
many purty things in all my life. Wonder who
her ma gwine to call on now to get her scis-ors
and find h r spectacles?”
“And all went merry as a marriage bell.”
It always doe-. A marriage fills the church
with good people. It is everybody’s busi
ness, and th- re are eager, expectant smiles
on every face- For a time, at least, the
bride and groom have everybody’s sym
pathy and good wishes. There was noth
ing sweeter, lovelier, than the scene. The
goodly array of fair women and have m n, as
they marched clown the aisle to the al'ar—
marched in s’atciy s'eppings to the music of
he organ; the pealing, swelling notes that
June from a master’s han't—for Signor Ran-
legger was at the keys- Oh, music! What is
It and where doesit dwell? So'd era can’t fight
without it; preachers can’t preach withou’ it;
lovers an’t court wi’hout it. I helps to con
summate marriage and to bury 'he dead. I' s
the only thing on earth that will be found in
heaven, for it is common to angels and to men.
Well, it is all over. Solemnly, sadly, sw elly,
I gave the bride away and then took a sc at b ■
my wife. There wete no tears upon her cheeks,
but I saw them in her eyes—just a t-kim of
'lachrymal ffusion,” as Dr, Calhoun would
say—and I could feel the tremor of h r hand.
She will stick a little closer to me now,I reckon.
She will let me find her spectacles. The old
man is not of much consequence until the
younger props give way. H ■ is no qnar er horse,
but is mighty good on the long run. Maybe
she will take Jessie’s place and count my back
hair and bathe my brow w th cologne when my
head aches. I’ll be her John Anderson my Joe
with my fiosty paw and she will be my Gene
vieve once more.
But oh, my, what a reception we had! What
an aftermath with kindred and friends—wi h
bridesmaids and groomsmen—with children
and grandchildren and nephews and ni ces
and cousins. There are new hinfoks now
amazing, for two large families have got to-
geth r by a copimon bond. Old South Caro
lina stock has found a welcome place iff our
family tree and cur baby girl has found an
other mother—a mother bles ed in her chil
dren and the children blessed in having such a
mo her. We will make a combine—a tiust—and
stand or fall together. What a bond it is
when theyoung people of large families mate
and marry. How often it unites those who
have been estranged and makes friends of eno-
miep. What a beiutiful scene it is—the nup
tials of those who are mated as well as mar
ried. What acontrast to hasty, inconsiderate
matches that are male in haste and repented

THREE NEW COUNTY SCHEMES.
Columbia, S. C.—The advocates of
three ambitious county schemes have
taken the preliminary steps to get new
counties. Salem, Greenwood and Sa
luda are on deck, and the county with
Honea Path as the county seat will
have to be heard from in the next few
days if it wants to have a showing be
fore the.Legislature. Mr. Yeldell filed
the plans and specifications, so to
speak, of Greenwood county. The
surveys of the proposed county were
made by Major Thos. B. Lee, an expe
rienced engineer, and a pretty blue
print accompanies the plans for the
county. The scheme was so thorough
ly ventilated at the last session of the
Legislature that nothing need be said
of it except that it will be presented
before the General Assembly again in
full force.

The London Standard prints a dis
patch from Tokio saying that 40,000
Japanese troops, under command of
Marshal Count Oyama, who was tem
porarily relieved from the duties of
his position as minister of war to take
command of the Japanese forces in
Corea, have left Hiroshima. The des
tination of this force is not known. A
fleet of thirty-five transports is neces
sary for the conveyance of these
troops.
A dispatch from Shanghai to the
Central News says that the Chinese re
port that a battle had been fought on
the banks of the lower Yala, in which
the Japanese troops, who made the at
tack, were repulsed with heavy losses.
It is added that neither side claims a
definite victory.

4 Postoffice Robbed.
Bennettsville, S. C.—The postoffice
here was robbed Saturday morning
about 3o’clock. The safe was blown
open with dynamite and its contents
taken. The stamps in the office were
also taken. The amount of the loss
could not be ascertained, as the post-
master has not had time to post his
books. The cashier of the bank and
his roommate, who room near the
postoffice, heard the explosion and ran
to the bank, but found everything all
right and returned to their room.
Several suspicious characters have been
loafing around town for the past few
days and they are believed to be the
robbers. The postmaster noticed them
around the office Thursday and de
posited the money then on hand in the
bank.

Satolli to Be Made Cardinal.
Baltimore, Md.—A clergyman
of
Cardinal Gibbon’s household to-day
confirmed the report that Manager
Satolli will become a cardinal. “This
much is all that can be stated with cer
tainty,” he said.
In addition to the faci- that the arch
bishop will be made a cardinal, the
most that can be said is that he will
probably be nominated as such at the
next consistory, which will open in
Rome, most probably in December of
this year.
