He *H croseiug a long bridge on foot, when he was surprised to see a locomotive coming around a curve, and tearing towards him at a terrific speed. The bridge was two narrow to allow of escape at either side, and he did not dare to jnmp into the yawning abyss below. In a flash he took in the situation and formed bis plan of action. He started on a swift ran towards the on-coming loco motive, and when within a few feet of it he concentrated all of his nerve and muscle into one effort, and leaped straight up in the air. The fearful monster shot under him, and he came down on the bridge, saved from death but seriously shaken by the descent. There was a moment of deep silence upon the close of the narration. Then one of the company signed and shut np his knife, and unexpectedly said, '* What's the use of presence of mind wkeg a man can lie lilii thatf Talk about the centuries looking with aw* upon J|je proud army under the master military genius of Hanni bal as it swept on to the conquest and immortal glory !

ILATBIT, 'aaprts Und tal Mtgnw, (Jones County Letter la Qotdsboro Messcn «•»•! This county has had for the past five or six years three negro controls* sioners and'but two white all Uepubi 'leans, as it seems no others can be elected ia this county, having never had since 1898—9' but one Dem ocrtie County offlcei( Register of Deeds) elected by tbe people, and lie held office (or only a bretf period of two years. It has been custom in this county nnder Radical rale* ever since the adoption of tbe Con tention of 1868-U, to hire or let oat tbe paupers of the Connty to tbe lowest bidder ant at pnblicauctlon, but not nntll within a few years past* indeed not till tbe "Civil Rights BUI* was imitated in Congress, and throughout the oouttry, have, the negroes had the impudence and effroutery to 4>ld unrebnked on white ■ paupers. They now assert, or some of them do, tbat have the satne right i to bid for white paupers, as the whites have to bid for negro paupers, ( claiming the same rights and equality before the law as the whites. 1 It has become so common in this coupty for negroes to bid at auction ' for white paupers, of bo'h sexes and ( without regard to age, that it has ak . most ceased to excite surprise and but little indignation, and the competlon - in biding at such auctions is as sprit. Ed and brisk with oar negroes as it r would be at sale of any personal property. The aged, lame, blind and infirm of both text* are alike sub> jectod to this indignity. The blind man alluded to in your report lias a wife and several children, he only the pauper, and he generaly support* ed himself by»a little allowance made him by tV c.countv. He has on seve« ral occasions been bid off by negroes. Another aged white man who has a family, and is himself severely afflicted with cancer, has on one or two occa- slons been bid off by negroes. Bat a rcai or two ago an aged blind lady, a pauper bat respectabls, waa pot op at anction to the lowest, and abe waa bid oft by a negro. When told who had bid Iter off, the bnrat into tear* and with uplifted hands groping her way through the crowd, begged ber friends " tor Qodsake, ipartmel sav* me!" all who witnessed tbe pitiful scene stood appalled. . None of tbe white paupers bid off by negroes will live or go to them as they wonld likely prefer death by starvation soouer than yield to be made slaves te negro masters. 'Their friends and acquaintances generally in tercede and provide homes for them. A stranger from the Western part ol (lie State, who was present at tbe letting, and witnessing the scene in disgust, remarked: "If this is the con dition ot the whites in'the negro coun ties of Eastern Carolina, may the good Lord doliver us in tbe West." tain these charges you can inspect our county records or call upon tbe auo tioneer, who has acted for severe' years in that capacity, and is himself a republican and fully cognizant of the tactx. Several instances are known of negroes threatening to whip white men, enrsirig and abusing tbem, and pulling off coats for a fight. Such are the iusnlts and indignities we have to suffer sua bear at the hands of negro. Radicals' the white Radicals, ofllcers and others, bcintr afraid to ofteud a friend and brother, as he lias a vote to give tbem, and If charged with belonging to the negro party, tbey will pretend t" get insult ed for being thus poHcally classified. Such is Radicalism iu Jones count tr- Hp"'..* Ah £tk Wrrxtsa. There waa a thrilling ineident on the Kansaa and Missouri bridge at Leavenworth tbe other day. Two men who appeared to be very drank were crossing the bridge from tbe Missouri to the Kansas side. About the middle of tbe bridge they got into a quarrel and commenced knocking each about. The fight was observed by several spectators on the Kansas shore, and they saw e right worth seeing. One oi the men knocked the other clear of the bridge, and be eoowrsaotsed through the ai r sixtysfive feet to the surface o the water, llow tar he went nnder nobody knows, and nobody ever ex. pected to see bin, alive again. Bat he soon rose and swam aebere, and scrambled oat Missouri flood uninfarOd, and perfectly sober, boon aa he saw what be had done, the victor ran with all his might beck to tbe Missouri side, and he is probaly running yet away from his supposed murder. The other reftued to Mate llw ot the quarrel or (ire name*, lie alio went beck to Mie •oori after hie friend, doubtless to duUh the fifbt. When the Hun 8. 8.

To THE PUBLIC: Would you like to know bow a man feels wbe fa about to commit suicide? In tbe first place, he must feel so badly tbat no matter what is to oome hereafter it is more endurable than the present; and sees ondly, he must feel tbat, more enduras ble or not, be cannot help tbe net; tbat if even the future ia worse than tbe present, the present b unendurable. I suppose that medical men would like tc know just the mental oonditloa of one who can shuffle oil this mortal coll. J H It Is this: My nerves and senses are I as sound as tbey ever were. loan at tend to business as efficiently, and as tally realize that tbe chiet end of man ia to gather ducats, as I aver could. But I can also realise that without my better bait lam as a perfect engine without steam—useless. Doctors of divinity would doubtless like to know my moral status and religious ideas. My moral ideas is this; That man should do his duty in spite of obstacles and consequences, aud that so doing is tbe only thing which will bring tbe peace which passeth all understanding. I ac« knowledge that I was too weak se to do. In regard to a tature state, my reason does not tally accept tbat there is a future state of which we will be conscious. I believe in the immortals ity of the soul, or the life priuciple, or whatever it is, as I believe in tin immortality of a bushel of coal; that it may change its form essentially as to be unconscious of baving ever ex isted before, but tbat still, as the coal, it is not destroyed but simply ebauges its form. My heart may speak dlts ferently to me, bat even then I be* lieve that, whatever Is, Is inevitable, as it must all proceed from one great original and so must be in accordance with bis will. However, I stall probably know more aboot it in twenty-four hours J than all the D. D. s living. lam not crazy. \ I know that tbe world is fsill good enjoyable things, and that they were put here for our good and bene* fit, and that we should strive and work to obtain them. But lam unable to care for them without the love of Jfy darting. 1 »ish to state that Mlm is iu no way respt nsible for my having loved ber; that almost before the bad ground for thinking that my feelings toward Iter were more tender than those of friendship, she informed me that her heart was another's and that, whilo she esteemed and cared for me as a fHend, I could be nothing more to her. But she was mistaken in that, and thongh I could not convince her of it while living, she will realize it when 1 sleep the sleep that know* no waking, A sweet good night to all. ArrKWDtx. On the back of a sheet of note paper were tbe words; "Respect this." Oil tbe other aide there was tbe follow" ing: "I wish to be buried Just In the cloth ing in which I die. Do not move me from where I am found, except to my grave. "Bury me in a plain pine oofßn, an 1 have me carried te my grave in a one bone spring wagon. Do not let tbe total cost of my bnrial exceed $6. As the last request of a dying man, 1 conjure yon t > respect these instruc tions." BICSTBIBV IN A ■ NKAi'H Ow CAftß* By*way of warning to "the boys," we want to tell them of a case that was tried at Salisbury last week. Mies Rebecca Jane Safret, of Davie coun ty, brought an action agsinst Mr. Dabney L. Lowrey, of the same coun ty, for a breach of promiee of mar riago, estimating the amount of dam age to her young affections at $4,000. Tbe ease came up is Davie court, but was removed to Rowan, where it was tried last week, remitting in a verdict' for the plaintiff for the fall' amount claimed. What made the eaae go so hard with him, waa the following poe try which, it waa in evidence, he had written to the fair one while sitting up to her : . "At the rto« ding* 'roand the tree, So Is say lore (or thee j Will yon wad and marry M. Ted me now and tell mm wist" This poetry waa the turning point in the case, and the jury g»ve the plaintiff a verdict without debate. It would bo well enough for the young men who are forever shooting off their fnooths at females, promising to marry them and to love, honor and obey, to take warning by the fete which baa overtaken Mr. Dabney L lawny, and ant to talk ao feat. Bet if yon do take hold, Wt try »e go heek emit;it may like a battery, and make you dance, hot, as ttwoaae jaat cited shows, your only bafety ie in holding on.—Charlotte * "WM A WSMAK WIBTC.

Says he: "Is your mistress home; or, I mean, does Mrs. Brown's folk! live here?" Then she told him she didn't know anything about Brown's folks ; her name was Slimmens and if ahe was poor ahe was .respectable, and then she began to err, and all at onoe she i waxed wroth and laid hold of th« 1 broom and took after poor Brown, , and says she: "I'll sweep yon off the I bee of the earth, you aoalawag you 1' j and the way Brown went out the i door with the swish of that broom 1 behind him might be called abrupt. ( Well, he went put among the i neighbors and found out where he j lived and went home and interview ed Mrs. Brown, who cried and said she "didn't think he'd care if she just k moved while he was gone and savetf him all the bother," which last made him madder than be was before, and she cried again, and the end of* it all ( was she came out on Easter Sunday | with as handsome a new bonnet as j any one, which waa very significant of his being a done Brown.— Detroit I fVw Pre*/.
