ere ia rather a singular case in our
county now, somewhere similar to one
wbicpappeared in one of the New
Yorkfpaperquite a while ago, involv
ing iady in an adjoining county. "
The case of which we speak is that
oi Mir. W. 6. Craver, who lives out at
the Bala mill. Quite a number of
yean ago he matried a lady. They be
came separated and after a considerable
peritd of time, having reasons to think
thai iis wife was dead, he married a
lady name Miss Lillie Blackwelder.
After his second marriage the first wife
waslound to be living and he was now
a husband to two wives. In order to
cot violate the law, which would have
teen dangerous, and giving the light
tp the case in regard to the assumption
tat the first wife was dead, he was at
the litet term of court granted a divorce
from, hi? first wife and the second mar
riage was declared null. So on last
Saturday evening Esq. W.J. McLaugh
liniv ho lives out at the Bala mill, per
formed the ceremony, uniting again
Mr. Craver kand Miss Blackwelder.
Now Mr. Craver has answered to three
ttarrage vows, yet with only two dif
ferent ladies. Concord Standard.

Senator Mason, of Illinois," said
Pension Commissioner Evans, "is to
blame for the systematic victimiz
ing of thousands of poor colored
people in the South, and the law
seems powerless to protect the
dupes or punish the criminals. An
old colored man, who had tramped
all the way from Richmond, .called
upon me the other day. 'Ah's
come f oh mah pension,' he said.
He bore a paper bearing a big red
seal that some smooth white fel
low had given him.. It informed
the world that the bearer was a
member of The Ex-Slaves' Pen
sion Association,' or something of
the sort. The poor old fellow be
lieved that it was a pension certifi
cate. ' '
MA80N'8 PREP08TEBOUS SUGGESTION
"Mason, you know introduced a
bill in the Senate one day provid
ing every ex-slave and descendant
with a pension of $500. Of course,
the bill was no good. But it was
a Klondike for a crowd of clever
swindlers. Armed with copies of
the bill, the thieves began opera
tions in the colored communities
of the Southr From all I can
learn they have bled and are still
bleeding the colored people all over
the South.
"When the scamp first strikes a
village he "gives a lecture. He
flashes the Mason bill, and talks in
glowing terms of the pension due
every ex-slave and descendant.
This, of course, hits every colored
man and woman within sound of
his voice. After the lecture he
protseeds to organize a 'society,'
and gets 200 or 300 members on
the jump.
"The dues in the society are ten
cents a month, the victims believ
ing the money is to be spent (to
fight for the black man's rights in
congress.'. The scheme workebeau
tifully: The poor cotton pickers
can't tell the difference between a
bill and a statute, you know, and
when they get that impressive-looking
paper, with the red seal they
feel sure they have the pension al
most in the hands. -
"The 'certificates'- of member
ship are got up to resemble the real
pension certificates we issue here,
and to the inexperienced eye are
Mrerybod counterfeits."'

Engineering News insists upon
an abatement of the folly of let
ting people be made to believe
statements that water analysis can
show whether or not drinking wa
ter contains the germs that pro
duce typhoid fever. If such belief
were not a menace to the public
health, it might be ignored. "The
fact is," says the News, "that such
public statements, coming from
supposed authoritative sources,
create a false sense of security,
and in this way are likely to do
real harm." Said Prof. Percy F.
Frankland before the section of
physics, chemistry and biology of
the Sanitary Institute of Great
Britain : "Indeed, the detection of
specific pathogenic bacteria in
drinking water is now known to be
almost beyond the range of practi
cal politics, and the search for
such bacteria is, in general, only
carried on in deference to the spe
cial request of the layman, the un
initiated, or the hopelessly ignor
ant, while it cannot be repeated
often enough that any feeling se
curity which maybe gathered from
an unsuccessful search for patho
genic bacteria is wholly illusory
and in the highest degree danger-

Bacteriology is of great value
when properly applied, but, like
other , ologiee, it is likely to be
abused by quacks. Professor
Frankland says that by far the
greatest service rendered by bac
teriology in water supply matters
is -in connection with filtration,
where it forms a most certain and
reliable test of the efficiency of
any given plant, at once laying
bare "the slightest irregularity or
defect in the process."
Punished For Working On Sun
day. The Supreme court of Georgia
has refused a new trial in the case
of Burke Waters, who was convict
ed in. Hall City Court at Gaines
ville for violating the law in that
he worked on Sunday. He was
sentenced to serve a term of six
months on the chain-gang or pay a
fine of $65. The decision of the
Supreme Court is as follows :
"The charge being that the ac
cused pursued on the Lord's day
the work of his ordinary calling,
the same lot being a work of neces
sity or charity, and the evidence'
demanding a verdict of guilty,
there was no error in denying a
new trial, even if a portion of the
instructions to the jurors were er
roneous." Waters is a Seventh
Day Adventist, and his case was
watched with much interest by
members of his church.
Some Recent Inventions.
' Heavy blankets can be easily
manipulated for quilting on a sew

apparatus, comprising a pair! of
brackets secured to the wall, to
support a horizontal arm extend

outer end of which is suspended
an adjustable frame to hold the
quilt. I
In an improved feed-box for an

the ceiling overhead to fit . over a
cone-shaped projection in the bot

closing the cone over the hopper
outlet until the animal presses the

Fruit jars can be quickly and

machine, which has two indepen

- A resident-of New Zealand has
designed a folding seat for sewing

as to height and distance from the
machine, being supported on a piv

The Price of Cotton,
The price of cotton in New York
when the present crop year began
with 6 cents per pound for mid
dling uplands. At one time dur
ing the past week it touched 7
13-16 cents, and has since receded
to 7 cents- a net gain of 1 cents
per pound since September 1, and
of 2 5-16 cents per pound over the
figures current a year ago. The
advance has been due to prospects
of a meterial decrease in the yield
as compared with that of either of
the two preceding years. The gov-

ernment crop statisticians have
timated the present crop yield!
not likely to exceed 9,500,000 ba
and as the world's consumption
last year was 13,900,000 bales and
only 3,375,000 bales were produced
out side of the United States it is
apparent that the current season's
production, if it shall be no longer
than the experts now anticipate,
will not be equal to the require
ments. The surplus from previous
crops will piece out the supply,
however, so that there will prob
ably be sufficient cotton for the
world's needs. The statistical sit
uation is nevertheless strong, and
evidently affords abundant justifi
cation for the advance in prices,
which, on the basis of current c rop
estimates, would mean a gain of
something like $100,000,000 to the
planters of the South.
North, Carolina's Monument.
Winchester, Va., Nov. 18. -An
official letter has been received
here from Capt. C. B. Denson, sec
retary and treasurer of the North
Carolina Monument Association,
stating that the monument to the
Confederate dead from that state
buried in Stonewall Cemetery here
would be erected in a few weeks,
but would not be dedicated until
May 30 next. At that time, the
letter states, a large number of
North Carolinians will be present,
delegations coming from at least
50 Confederate camps in that state.
The funds for the monument were
obtained through the efforts of Mrs.
Armistead Jones, of Raleigh, NiC,
chairman of the special committee
of the monument association. The
monument is of granite from the
Mount Airy (N. C.) quarry and
will be 16 feet high. Not only has
North Carolina more soldiers buried,
in Stonewall Cemetery than any
other Southern State, the number
being 447, but the claim is also
made that that state furnished
more Confederate soldiers than any
other. Her troops numbered 124,
000 volunteers, 9,000 in excess! of
her arms-bearing population.
It is alleged that the long lost
will of the multi-millionaire, An
drew J. Davis, of Butte, Mont., has
at last come to light. This will
has been sought for ten years, and
will now be offered for probate.
There is a woman in the case, and
she is after her share of the Davis
millions. Her name is Mary C.
Wilson and she lives in Chicago.

Card From Major Taylor.
In view of the many extravagant
rnmors that are afloat in regard to the
unfortunate outbreak of malaria at the
$tate Normal and Industrial College, I
felt it a duty which I owed the public
by virtu of my office, to investigate
and make a statement in regard to the
condition of affairs there, as ill that
pertains to its welfare Is of vital inter
eat to our people. -
In company with a representative of
the press I called at the President's of
fice this morning and found there a
committee from, the State Board of
Health making a thorough examina
tion of everything on the premises. '
1 found that there are now forty
eight young ladies, confined to their
rooms, only three or four of whom are
considered to be seriously ill. This
number seems to be startling, but
when the fact that there are nearly five
hundred young ladies in attendance is
taken into consideration, it will be
seen that only ten per cent, of the en
tire number are too unwell to leave
their rooms.
The outbreak seems to have been
the result of causes purely local, as is
evidenced by the fact that none of the
young ladies who do not board in the
institution, nor have any of the fami
lies who live near by and at the foot
of the watershed surrounding it, con
tracted the disease, it being confined
exclusively to those boarding within
the building. A further evidence that
the cause is purely local is the fact that
the general health of our citizens was
never better than now.
A careful examination has disclosed
the fact that a leak in a defective sewer
pipe buried in the ground under the
dining room, which could not have!
been discovered by the officers, has
been the cause of this deplorable out
break. Deplorable as it has been, our people
have reason to be thankful that the
cause is one which can be, and is being
remedied, and that there is no reason
why the college may not resume on
Jan. 2nd, 1900, the great work it has
been doing for the women of North
Carolina and in the future equal, or
even surpass, the phenomenal health
record it has made up to this time.
