The people of he city were ver y
indignant Saturday aftern o u,
when thoy learned of au assf-nit
upon the Rev.. J. C Rowppaf or
of the Fir3t Methodist church, of
this city. ; Rufus Rufty a far ler
of the couuty, was the ma'i V ho
forgot himself so far as to strike
a minister of the gospel. It is
stated " that Rufty was jdriuking.
Both men vere in the store of M.
C: Rufty.- Rufus Rufty was vorfj
profahe and boisterotfs. Mr.
Rowe rebuked him and told him
he must notnise : such language,
when Mr.rufty said he would
swear as much as he pleased, and
either struck the. minister or vio
lently pushed him against the'
counter. Mr. Rowe walken out
of the store and Mr. Rufty start
ed to follow him, but desisted
i when told that Mr. Rowe was a
minister It is claimed that Mr.
Rufty Was not aware that Mr.
Rowe was a minister.
Monday a warrant was issued
by the Mayor. He was, brought
to town and fined five dollars and
costs. Later, Mr. Rufty tendered
Mr. Rowe an apology.
The Faith Postoffice Discontinued.
The pejstoffice at Faith, one of
the most thickly populated and
important villages in the county,
has been; discontinued a3 a result
of the recent changes on rural
route Noj. 8, and the addition of
route 8. These routes are now
supplying more than the average
pieces of mail for the county, and
if they ate compelled to carry the
large quantity ot mail that has
been goiiig to Faith, the carriers'
joos will become quite burden
some. It is surprising that the
government would discontinue an
office of jsuch importance after a
petition j from the citizens had
beensent in praying for its con
tinuance. It is to be hoped that
the office will not temain closed
long. !

The Story of an Onion.
H. $, Barger comes to the front
again with what he calls a mira
cle, but which is really no more
than rthe "natural regenerative
power of a single onion. Several
years ago he pl&ated an onion, it
divided and produced three, he
planted these and they went to
seed, "These seed were - planted
and resulted in the production o
two bushels of first class, good
sized onions This gives one a
fair idea of what an onion will
do.

who could have identified him, had
he been the right man, were called

men were neighbori, and mem

tinued all night, Early iu the

WHAT IS Hf AFTER?
Jack Dillingham Makes i& Confession
Which Is a Puzzle to the Authorities-.
4 Yesterday, Sheriff Julian re
ceivecl the following letter which
was sent to him" by Sheriff Wal
lace of Mecklenbury county :
Thia comes to let you know, t ha
Jack Dillenham . has confessed
that he and a white man "did the
Killing of that family. But Jack
did not give the name of the white
man. Jack also stated that the
killing and threats made was on:
account of a. quarrel with the
family aud his wife aud siysthe
other men don't" know anything
. about it Jack says, he was
uuo uiiaiu it x,q us as we
was in jail and not::dq him no
harm.
The cofession was made to the
below names ana we thought it
just and right to tell it.
Your Servant, -
Alexander Massey
W. N.Mitchell.
The men who signed the letter
are prisioners in the Charlotte
jail, and the alleged confession
was, made to them. If Dilling
ham made any such confession as
this, there is some scheme in it,
though it is hard to even form an
conjecture as to what it caube.
The evidenco against Nease Gil-
lespie, whom Dillingham exoner
ates in his confession, is much
stronger than it is against the lat
ter. The story of the white man
Dillingham-speaks of is certainly
too thin to deserve attention.
The fact that no robbery occured
on the night. of the murder shows
that malice was the motive of jbhe
crime, and if the late Mr. Lyerly
had an enemy among the white
people, one at least, who would be
apt to do him the least, personal
injury, has not Deen shown by the
evidence so far adduced. Dilling
ham will have to com again, and
in the meantime, Sheriff Julian
is puzzling, over the letter. .
The Farmers' Institute.
A Farmers' Institute was held
at the court house in this city last
Thursday. The attendance' was

Guilford College f Pj6f. Connor
of the Georgia Experimental Sta
tion ; Chas. C. Moore, of the State

ONCE Itiere was a small boy who wtote ' This is a Horse ' ' after trying
for hours to draw a copy on his Slate of a thoroughbred racer. He
admired the horse, wanted it, but had neither the ability nor the
experience to get hiftv He therefore tried to draw. one. When nis labors
were complete, he looked first at the genuine article, then at the miserable
imitation, and after long, deep study wrote THIS ISA HORSE, realizing
his failure and inability to reproduce the genuine, and he knew without "This is a Horse "
written below, no one would" recognize what he had tried to make. Would-be competitors
have tried for years to imitate Grape Tobacjce. They make bla'ik plugs of similar size, but
of less weight,' and put in it all sorts of various concoctions, mixtures and kinds of Tobacco,
biit all failed (to get the business) and finally hit upon the small boy's'plan and printed on
the tag "SOMEBODY'S SUN CURED." -'They all advertise and tell you that SOMEBODY'S
SUN .CURED tag is valuable Of ceurse it is (itxiost about 15 cents perthousand) but how
about the miserable imitation of Grape Tobacco the tag i3 on? Somebody's Sun Cured tag no
more makes good Tobacco than does THIS IS A. HORSE irnakes a valuable genuine horse.
