' "i 1 A very. sad incident occurred on the pavVment near the residence of the I late Benj. F. Fraley, Friday night last, which resulted in the death of John 3Iurphy, son of tho late James Murphy. x Murphy, Mamie Leslie and Bob finger met at the place designated, Sam , and Adoiphus Johnston, (brothers) J. C. Brice and Wm. Til. Keen. After a brief conversation Murphy inquired if any of the partr had any whiskey. ' They answered no., and Murphy thea said if they would hold on there for ajew minutes he would go and get some. He returned tfth half a pint, which was handed around and some of the party drank of it. They lingered to gether ther&in a jovial way, and Murphy drew out his pipe and ;was filling it with tobacco when the! woman knocked it out of his hand or mouth; and . as he stopped to pick it up,-some one knocked his hat off, and some one else tapped him behind, 'j But it was play and no dfieiiee was taken., . But Having straightened up, Wm. H. Keen said, "Look out Pat, (Murphy) I'm going to shoot," and fired Murphy ffcll. Keen showed great distress,, sprang to Murphy and liftedrhim up, ran for a doctor,1 went home with Murphy, who.wasuaepnseiou3, anjd sat up with him that uigh- Mr. Murphy lingered until Sunday fl p. m. and died. There are some doubts whether the Levidcuec from which the above is drawn, is correct. Keen is in jail. A more deplorable incident has rarely occurred in this qommUnity.. Mr. Mur phy was au inoffensive young man,; the only living son. of his mother, who is a yidow.. The weapon by which ha fell was the villainous little pistol, loaded with shot, one of which entered the cor ner of his eye, and the others, iu a body, half an inch higher up. His face was badly powder-burnt, 'showing that the weapon, when fired, was very near him. COUNTY LOCALS. . j , Bijar Poplar Items. .

Beau poPiAE, N. C.i " Mr. frIHort-- ! ? ' DccSO, 1887. By .vW iermissIon I wish to occupy a small srticw in j o tr paper. : I read an article frvut our eounty health physician and also one front the Chairman - of I the County Com uiLfsioners, in regard to the creeks and their filthy condition and the consequent bad ett'odk n th health of the people along those streams. "' iuieuy unu renei iuaj. sum" ner refers to "chapter 149!' laws of 1885, as the remedy if adopted. Dr. Summer ell says that Dr. Crump and a few neigh bors did all that was done or about all. In July, 1885, application by petition was made to the County Commissioners! by the citizens . of Steele township, to lap point 5 stream-commissioners for Second creek and its tributaries in Steele town ship; , ;The petition was granted and J. M; Harrison, JIf SI Petrel, J. F. Stansill, Wm. C. Lyerl- and W. L. Kistler were appointed. They organized about the 5th of August, and sit about having the creeks drained or cleaned out as provided in said act. We ;hav many difficulties to overcome, and j some opposition but have notv got nil in good order except one or two sections, on which the over seer and hands were both stubboru and contrary; but at the. last term of our Superior court the ioverseer was punished and the commissioners sustained; and now we will, I think, have no more troub e. We have more creeks and miles of creeks in our township for its size than any other- in the bounty, and some, I might say all, are flat, sluggish streams, in their natural condition, but although last fall was an exceedingly sickly fall for all malarious" diseases, yetf alon g those streams that we have gotten in gwd con dition, there were no malarious diseases, and the two doctors that lived among us, one has gone to Kuochville and the other has sold out and I suppose wifl move to some place where they have not got the creeks cleaned outi We will say 'that Mt. AJl'a has taken; advantage of the act but have not made as yet much headway, owing as. I think; to -having too many commissioners, viz- one board on each stream. But they talk of going ahead now since the act has- been tested by us in the superior court and have-'heen sus tained. They will have a meeting next Saturday to make arrangements for a new start, , In conclusion on this matter lam thor oughly satisfied that if all the strerfms iu the county were, properly ditched and cleaned out and adjacent lowlands drain ed and cleaned up,it Would save the peo ple or less of their doctor bills,, besides the immense amount of suffering it would obviate, and, in a pecuniary point, thev would make 100,000 bushels of corn or that many tons of hay; or if used as pasi ture, beef and butter'wpuld abound now for ve have the best laws to accomplish this object, while chapter H9 of 1885 is thought to bo the only law1 of the kind by some under which our work has been , dobe. But I think the general law on i the subject, passed by the last legislature 1887, found on page DOS And chapter267. I think this law much the shortest and'1 has so much less machinery, and is more explicit and effectual. Some may object on account of having to deposit $25 by the petitioners. But this will in no cns -be a loss to them of anything but the iuicref-1. ior a snore time only, tor no sane man will say (even without examining tho creeks) that any " creek will be greatly improved by ditching and e'ean ing both to health and agriculture. I have written this much on this subject because I feel iuterested-iii the improvement of the health of the count y aud the increase of our lowland products. Now we would like some good M. D. to locate in our midst though he may not have many malarial cases, there will be plenty of other disease to keep him pretty busy. Dr. Iteyuols has already left and I learn Jr. Erwin is preparing to follow suit; so wc,will be without an M. D. unless one comes to our relief. He will have a plenty of malarial cases on the outskirts of his circuit, so no one need fear but he will get cases if he is all right himself, so send us a good one soon. Yours re.fpectfullj':, W. L.

J The greatest activity is apparent at this mine. : About 200 hands are employed in cutting flume to carry the water which is to furnish power for pumping water to the mines for hydraulic purposes, and In sinking and driving. The enjriae for running the stamp mill is in place and boiler being walled in, frame for mill erected and mortars in place and they expect to set the stamps iu motion in about 10 days. The New California shaft is down about 70 feet, the Upcast about 93 and the Engine shaft about 85 feet. Although these shafts are a considerable distance apart one engine, by a unique transmit ter runs the pumps for all. GOLD IirLU About seventy-five hands are now at work at this mine and we are imformed are taking good ore from the 430 foot level of the Centre shaft and the 270 foot level pf the North shaft. The mill has been running regularly for some time, not even stopping for the holidays, which is a good evidence of pay ore. - Under an execution the property. own ed by the Granville Gold Mining Co., in Stanly county, comprising 10Q acres, and on which the Stanly Freehold Mining Co. had located for their pumping works, was sold at the Court house door in Al bermarle last Tuesdry.
