His " folks didn't know he was going , to' take such jl step; or no doubt they would have ropedThim in, for the standing array of your Uncle Sam uel, witETthe Philippines et cetera, is no joke." The rash young man is 19 years of, age and pretty' well fixed in the way of health and muscle. He passed and' is now part and paroel of the American army. The Dispatch wishes him good luck ... Engineer Levi K, Matthews , of the Norfolk & Western road, says that the other day he saw on the reverse bar of his engine, these wores: "Levi K; Matthews will be killed January 26, 190" The engineer says that he ' saw the words plainly, but cannot say whether it was imagination or not. His friends urged him not to make a run on that date. . On Saturday F. R.

A second hearing will be held to morrow before 'Squire W. A. Heitman, at . which time the charge of securing $100 will be in vestigated. The negro - claims that the defendant got from him tha mm $198. and naid back $17 of it. It was stated last week that the Southern Metal Company which operates the brass factory, would stay in Lexington mstsad of going to Salisbury, but it seems that the assertion was a little prema ture, am the factorv may yet be .-rnnxraA tn SnlinhnTV.
