At Wilmington Thursday morning Mr. John Cane, a section foreman, fell from the top of a coal elevator at the Atlantic Coast line dock and received injuries from which he died. The un fortunate man was directing a force of men at work on the elevator, and in some unaccountable manner stumbled and fell from the dizzy height to 'the wharf below. Every bone in the vic tim's body was crushed, as well as his internal organs, yet he live'd three hours and was conscious to the end. We are sorry to hear of the painful accident that happened to the little son of Charlie McDowell last evening. Most boys. like a gun and this one was more ingenious than others and went to work and made one for himself. He found an iron tube and drove a plug or iron in one end for a breechpin, and filed a hole in the tube for a touch hole. The device was answering all purposes intended until last evening when he held the gun up to take sight while another boy touched it off. When the powder exploded the plug blew out and struck the boy over the right eye, taking a downward course, and when Drs. Meadow and Turner were called in it was hard to find just where the plug was. It being so far in it was thought to be fatal to cut the bones and flesh to find it. It is feared the boy will die from the injuries. Proximity Bul letin. Saturday a license was obtained from the register of deeds of Pitt county for the marriage of Mr. Jesse James, of Bethel township, to the daughter of Mr. E. S. Lewis, of Belvoir township. Sunday young James went to Lewis' home for the purpose of wedding the girl. The father objec'ted to the" mar riage and James left. Sunday night James, accompanied by his brother. Semi James, and some friends, again went to Lewis' home to take the girl by force. The father again objected and the visit resulted in a figh't, rifles and pistols being used. When the smoke of battle cleared away Jesse James, the would-be-bridegroom, was wounded, his brother Sam was dead and Mr. Lewis nad a pistol ball in his hip and a wound on his head. The county coroner went out today to in vestigate the matter. Burke county continues to furnish her neighBoring counties and the northern markets as well with immense quantities of lumber. Now the mos't of the accessible" pine timber has been cut, and the hardwoods are going rap idly. One of our Johns river farmers recently sold twenty walnut trees for $800. The lumber was shipped to Ger many in the log. One of the trees was six feet across the trunk and seventy feet to the first limb. This tree alone was worth what was paid for the twenty trees, so timber experts say. Outside of the fine plant of the Morgan ton, Manufacturing and Trading com pany, there are no large wood-working establishments in the county. A move ment is now on foot here to establish another enterprise that will work up a part of our valuable timber at home. Morganton Correspondence Charlotte Observer. The Biblical Recorder says: "When a party makes an unfair election law to perpetuate itself, in the very act it con fesses its unworfhlness. When a polit ical leader undertakes to override the popular will, in that moment he be comes the worst of traitors to free gov ernment."

If a house is to be sold, the auctioneer offers "50 golden sov ereigns for the man who first bids 5, 000." Nobody bids. A pause, and then "Fifty golden sovereigns for the man who first bids 4,900." This is kept up until a bid is secured. But it by no means follows that the house is sold to this bidder. No, the auc tioneer is then at it again. Say that 4,400 is the first bid. The auctfoneef' cries:' "There are 25 golden sovereigns for the first man who has the courage to bid 4,600." Perhaps no one has it. Then 25 is offered for a 4,550 bid. If there is eventually no bid above the 4,400, the man who made that bid is saddled with the house. Otherwise he pockets his bonus and gets off free of it all.

A few nights ago when I went home it was raining hard. My umbrella was wet. and I car ried it immediately to the kitchen to drain. Casting about for something to stand it in, my eye caught some sort of receptacle on the floor near the stove, which I took to be the coal hod. so I stood the umbrella in it and went to bed. The next morning the cook gave notice. She had found my umbrella standing in her shoe."

Something About These Marvelous Upliftingrs of the Sea Bosom. What of the tidal wave, that mysteri ous, indispensable swelling of the waters that, following the "pull" of the moon, rolls round this globe of ours twice in each 24 hours, stemming the outflow of mighty rivers, penetrating far inland wherever access is available and doing within its short lease of life an amount beneficent work freely that would beg gar the wealthiest monarchy of the world to undertake if it must n?ods be paid for? Mysterious it may well be called, since, though its passage from zone to zone be so swift, it is like all other waves, but an undulaory movement of that por tion of the sea momentarily influenced by the suasion of the planet not, as is vul garly supposed, the same mass of water vehemently carried onward for thousands of miles. To meet a tidal wave at sea is in some parts of the world a grim and unforgeta ble experience. Floating upon the shin ing blue plain, with an indolent swelling of the surface, just giving a cozy roll to your ship now and then, you suddenly see in the distance a ridge, a knoll of wa ter that advances, vast, silent, menacing. Nearer and nearer it comes, rearing its apparently endless curve higher and high er. There is .no place to flee from before its face. Neither is there much suspense, for its pace is swift, although it appears so deliberate, from the illimitable gran deur of its extent. It is upon the ship. She behaves in accordance with the way she has been caught and her innate pe culiarities. In any case, whatever her bulk, she is hurled forward, upward, backward, downward, as if never again could she regain an even keel, while her crew cling desperately to whatever hold ing place they may have reached. Some will have it that these marvelous upliftings of the sea bosom are not tidal waves at all that they do not belong to the normal ebb and flow of the ocean that owns the sway of the moon; if so, they would be met with more frequently than they are it sea, and far more disas ters would be placed to their account. This contention seems reasonable, be cause it is well known that lonely islets, such as St. Helena, Tristan d'Acunha and Ascencion are visited at irregular in tervals by a succession of appalling waves (rollers) that deal havoc among the smaller shipping and look as if they would overwhelm the land. The sugges tion is that these stupendous waves are due to cosmic disturbance, to submarine earthquakes upheaving the ocean bed and causing so vast a displacement of the ocean that its undulations extend for several thousands of miles.
