Carolina 1 Watclamaix LEXINGTON AND DAVIDSON COUNTY. I Tret Wrecks Valuable Bridge. Heavy Rains do Much-Damage to Streets. Lexington Dispatch, August 4th. The amount of money the state g'ts outof Lexington in the tax on autos is simply staggering. Up to now the secretary of state Oka taken $5 from SOO machii.e owners, and there ar still some. Not of the 800 machiues are in this town, however. The new bridge over Rich Fork, hardly a year bid. and coating $l,000Virj8 practically a wreck. Daring a storm a tri e fell on it and smaeshed it. Monday the matter was brought to the atten tion of the commiesioners and they have communicated with the agent of the company that built the bridgn It i tbe opinion of some of the people living in th neighborhood that part of tbe bridge can be nsr-d again, but wetter this would be wise and eco uomical remains to be seeu. The tree has e st the county a pretty sum. The heavy raina of last week and this week have damaged the the streets Beriouely, the macadam being washed badly, especially at certain points. During such rains too, watt-r sluices the granolithic pavements until iu some places the walk is anywhere from aniuch to shoe top dep in marly watter. At such points very little work would be necessary to pat an end to this, and nothiug makes a citi zen quite so angry iu this town as having to walk on coBtly paving when it is acting as a ditch. It is worse than having to plow through muddy, earth walks. The grano lithic pavement from Main street to the Southern station daring the rain carries far more water than the ditch there. Since the Adderton residence was removed from the public" building site folks, following the very natural de.sire to save as much walking as possible during the heated season, have made a path trough the lot from one cor ner to the other, and the grass is being quickly killed out along th'e trail. Should this be? ' There is a nice cement walk all around the proparty. The, Taw providing that the owuer of a dog shall be fined $5 for each and every time he allows his dog to run at large in the town has caused a lot of comment and oo iuconsiderjable dumber of peo ple are displeased. People who have no dogs, and some who have a number of tbem, on the othr hand declare the law is the stuff and that they hope it will be n forced . The law went iuto effect Sunday August 1. Chief Hay worth noted the names of the own ers of nine canines that day, and Officer Lookabill about five. As yekuo trials have been held. The aldermen have come iu for plenty of criticism, as well as plenty of praise. The upshot of the matter will be awaited with interest. It appears that it is not the inten tion of the law to rope in citizens whose dogs follow at their heels and are in the nature of pets. The main object of the law is to pre vent a horde of dogs running at large uvur the town, committing afinno c ( all anrt.M. and be. log a constant menace to the pec- nle should rabies break oat among F . , them.

Concord Gitlzen Yields to a Continued Longing to "Have it Over." Cncord, Aug. 5 Thomas H Cannon committed suicide some time between 11 o'clock Jaet night and daylight this morning, his body having been discovered in a woodshed at the home of Mrs. Jane Foil on WV st Depot street about 8:30 o'clock this morning as she and a negro servant were returning to bouse from the gar den patch in the rear. His throat was cut, the juglar vain beiug sev ered, and presented a ghastly sight. The fiudiu? of his dead body was communicated to the friends and relatives of the dead man and after a corouer's inquest the body was turned over to the undertakers of J. M. Craven & Co., who pre pared it for I urial, after which it whs conveyed to the home of his only living brother, James W. Cannon, on North Union street, from which place the funeral will be conducted to-morrow morniug at 8:80 o'clock by Rev. Thos. W. Smith. Mr. Cannon was about 54 years f agn and was the sou of the late J tpeph and Elizabeth Cannon. He was born and reared in Con- cordr where he lived until early manhood, when he loft for South Carolina, locating at Spartanburg. For a numl er of years he pros- pf.rpd and was connected in a bus iness way with many interests in that city, being one of its foremost citizen?. Reverses in fortune ever- took him, and with a despondency leading to desperation, he yielded to the-cravings of a nature that pleaded for strong drink and even tually leading to drugs. A little more than two years ago he came to this city, where he has been living iu quietness, although fol lowing several occupations, for a while buying ootton seed, but re cently was employed by A. B. Pounds. For a week or longer he has been desperate, followed by the loss of appetite and a longing to "have it over " It was feared from his con duct for several days past that he contemplated ending his sad ca reer, and when the news spread over the city this morning it was not a "surprise to several of his more intimate associates Special to Charlotte Observer. Heavily Fined. Probably the most important case disposed of by Iredell Supe rior court this week was that of A. L Somers, known to his frieuds as Boss Somers, and ex saloon Keeper oi oansoury, wno was charged with conducting a blind tiger at his home on West Front street. A plea of nolo contendre was entered. It being made to appear by affidavits from Drs, Sharpe, Long and Adams that im priaoiiment would imperil Somers' life, he being iu very bad health. In two cases , however, Somers was filled $750 and required to poy all costs and the jail fees of Bargees White, colored, the principal wit ness against him, who was de-r tained, In addition Somers was required to give $500 bond to ap pear at the next term of court.

Concord Times, August Ktta. 1 Charles B. Wagoner, mayor of Concord, was taken to long Sani torium at Statesville Tuesday morning, and that afternoon was operated on for appendicitis. His case was a serious ope, but the op peration was eutirely successful, and he is now on the road to re covery. Many friends here are glad to know he is getting along so well. C. C. Clardy, of New York, was married this morning at 9 o'clock at the home of Daniel Furr, on North Church street, to Miss Florence Richie. The ceremony was performed by Rev. S. N Wat son, and it was a quiet wedding. Mr. Clardy is connected with the General Electric Co , at New York, and his bride has been for some time a nurse at the Whitehead Stokes sanitorium at Salisbury.

Whil Arthur Barnbardt, of No. 11 township, was on his way to town this morning with a load of watermelons, in crossing the bridge over Little Cold Water at the Doc Walter place, the bridge gave way in the centre, which was precipitated about eight feet. One of tbe horses were hurt, but not seriously . The melous were carried out one by one, and then the wagon was taken nut, with no further damage. Yesterday John Trout man was driving x . u jnioiock's norse in a buggy containing himself, his three children, Doris, Maggie and Frank. They were near the cir cus greuuds, and the horse became frightened at the ra'sng of part of the tent, aud ran away. All the occupants were thrown out. the buggy being turned over. Maggie, aged 9 years, was right badly hurt on the head and side, and the lit tle boy was hurt by coming in con tact with thorns. The others were not hurt. A Severe Trial to Many. PerhipB in a 11, the smaller vex ations of life there is nothing that cuts so deeply as b ing misunder stood. To be the victim of cir cumstances which will not allow you injustice to appear to be the opposite of that which your whole life is a struggle toward to fight, to sacrifice for a friend until it hurtp, and then discover that your desire to be kind has neither been appreciated nor even understood 'these are soin of the things which give the sharpest hurts. Perhaps there was never any one who entirely escaped this sort of thing. But it is a comfort to have been, whether or not one has seemed to be. And he has reached a golden milepost on the way, who has learned to do and to joy in do ing, without too much thought of appreciation who is content to be true and "jes keep on keepn' on" even if he must belong to the vast inaltitndp r f the misunderstood.

STATESVILLE AND IREDELL COUNTY. uam Heitman Again. The Great Work Being Done by the Odd Fellows. StatesviUe Laudmark, Aug, 6, H. Cam Heitman, of Lexington inventor and capitalist, who some Nnonths ago Dassed a worth Iarh draft for $30 on the J. K. Morri- son & Sous Co.. was arreted and afterwards forfeited bond for his appearance at Superior Court, was arrested at Lexington Tuesdav. brought to Statesville and placed in jail. His case is expected to come to trial in the superior Court today. The noted barn burning case from Troutman, in which J. C . f Brooksher is charged with burning the barn of his brother-in-law. Todd Caldwell, was put on trial in Iredell Superior court yesterday just bef re the noon recess. When court adjourned last evening the state had not finished its evidence and if the trial is continued to the conclusion it will consume much Of to day. The evidence against Brocksher so far is circumstantial and is not strong. B. H. Woodell, of Raleigh, grand Secretary of the grand lodge of Odd Fellows of the state and editor of the paper published in the interest of the order, spent Wednesday night with the local lodge of Odd Fellows, Mr. Wood ell is touring the state in the in terest of the order and went to Taylorsville yesterday. The Odd Fellows are stong in the state and the order is growing . They have an orphanage at Goldsboro in which there are 120 children. They have under construction at the or phanage a building that will cost $25,000 and when this ib complet ed they will have, Mr. Woodell says, a plant second to none in the states In addition to the orphan age the Odd Fellows also maintain M tit&daboro a home for old peo- " pie. At present there are only two inmates in this home. It is established for the care of aged Odd Fellows who have no home and are unable to support them selves, aud for the widows of Odd Fellows who are lett homeless. These institutions are supported by a per capita tax of 80 cents a year paid by the different lodges of the Btate. So far this small tax has been ample for the sup port of these institutions.
