One of the citizens of Danbury
Conn., who had juat returned from the
West, waa telling in Merrill's grocery
of & narrow escape he had from a tern
rible deith. 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

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.

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

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.

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

| One morning the husband oime
| home in a great hurry and said he
p must go East, and he would be gone
| about two weeks, and she kn*w very
well he would be gone two weeks if he
I said so, and probably a triflle over
■ that. Bhe packed his portmanteau
i with shirts and kissed him good-bye,
> and saw him safely off, and went
• right out house-hunting. She found
r just the house she wanted, and that
' man hadn't been gone three days
when she was safely moved, and at
| the end of ten days was settled and
( serene in her new quarters aa though
, she had never moved in 'her lib.
Meantime, a family had moved in the

> was mining bread at the table in the
' Kitcheu, and.the outeide door was
open, too, in rushed a'man and gave
' her a hug with "How are you, little
girl? Doing your own work in
you?"
And then there was an awful pause,
as that woman looked round at him,
and be saw it wasn't "little girl" at
alt, but an old. girl of the Spartan
type, didn't seem to relish
the hughegave her, either. . 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 |
