Arthur L England, a 23 year
old white man, attempted suicide
in his cot in the hall-way of the
upper story of the Eagle hose
house, on Davie Street, Greens
boro, Saturday morning. He
used a 82-oaliber revolver to in
fliot a wound under the heart and
barely missed that organ. The
evidences were that the deed bad
been planned with ooolness and
deliberation. Whether the in
jured man will live or succumb to
the wound has not been determin
ed. The would-be suicide has a
wife to whom he has been married
less than two years and has one
child. He left two notes to
friends to whom he is indebted,
and the tone of the letters showed
that, iu all probability, financial
worries over liabilities he oould
not settle made him desperate.

showed by his continual anxious
inquiries about his condition that
he was hoping for reoovery from

The construction of a $250,000

Braddock Heights, near Freder
ick, Md., or in the Blue Ridge
mountains, near Harper's Ferry,
W. Va., or Bluemont, Vs., has
been suggested by Congressman-!
William P, Borland, of Kansas
City.
Mr. Borland takes the position
that the enormous inorease in
congresiional work has resulted in
summer sessions of Congress and
Washington heat is a barrier for
effective labor on the part of the
Representatives . Mr. Borland
will introduoe a bill in the House
on the subject with the hope of
bringing the merits and demerits
of the proposition out in debate.
"It would not be neoesaary to
transfer the whole legislative
plant to the mountains,' said
Mr. Borland. "A building of
ooncrete and steel and two legis
lative chambers and the necessary
committee rooms could be con
structed for a limited amount of
money, probably for $250,000, and
certainly well within the half'
million mark.
"The plant is feasible enough,
and 98 in the. shade within the

"The usual, quiet of our town,
much to the regret of all good,
law-abiding oitiiens, was disturb
ed yesterday by the predominanct
of a mob, which regardless oi
counsel, judge and jary violently
entered the jail, breaking lock
and doors as they proceeded, and
foroibly took out a negro whom
they executed.
The Negro, Osoar Ford, was the
same that was tried here at the
spring term of the superior court,
last yar, and convicted of an at
tempt to commit a rape on the
person of Mrs. Bryant, of Con
cord. His counsels, however, pro
cured for him a new trial, which
came off at the present term of
the superior court. He was acquit
tea though entirely unexpected
Dd greatly against the general
6ellDg as to his guilt, of the
community. As soon as the de
oision of the jury was made nown,
orowd begin to assemble at the
-ho - armed with olubs
of their determination to carry
into execution previous threats .
The greater number of whi?h, we
are informed had come from the
towns of Concord and Charloste,
and the county of Iredell, for the
purpose of mobbing the negro in
case he was acquitted. No resist
ance was shown them until they
became too formidable to be con
trolled by the town authorities
After they had increased to about
fifty or sixty in number, they pro
ceeded as above stated, took the
negro to the outskirts of town,
hanged him up, fired several shots
into his body, and leffi him dead.
Without any reflection upon the
intelligent jury or the able coun
sel for the defenoe, having heard
the principal testimony in both
trials, we have no hesitancy in
expressing our belief that the ne-
gro was guilty, and justly merited
the punishment he received for so
high a orime, even though it was
administered at the hands of a
mob. Yet. in God's name, for

nothing to he oonoeived that
would so soon plunge us into a

than the toleration of sncn a

safe ; but any of us is liable, at
any time, to be oompelled to suc

the worst passions of men. More'

law is clearly murder in the eye
of the law, and the blood of the

DUST AHO DISEASE.
A Little Talk ob i Little Matter af Seat
Value.
It is every woman's duty to sed
that her house is kept clean and
sweet and as free from dust as
possible, otherwise it is not
healthy for either her or her fami
ly, and when she is cleaning her
rooms and removing the dust, she
may be removing disease and
death from her house along with
the lifcht and insiduous particles
of dust, and doctors now order
that carpets shall he thoroughly
oleansed and purified, for in them
are liable to lurk the germs of
countless diseases, and they tell
us that microbes and baoteria of
all kinds prejudicial to health
find a home in the dust floating
everywhere in the rooms of houses.
The best way to get rid of that
dust, and consequently . of the
baoteria is to remove it, wherever
it settles with a damp cloth. Keep
plenty of dast sheets and oovers
to use when sweeping a room, and
oover all pieces of furniture that
cannot be moved out of the room
when sweeping, and when the dust
has all settled, gather them care
fully by the corners and carry out
of doors to be shaken, and a daily
brushing and a good sweeping
once a week will usually keep a
room free from dust and disease
germs. When sweeping a room.
take a olean, dry broom and sweep
with a vim in the direction of the
wind, and in this way every parti
cle of fine dust is taken clear out
of doors. A learned nhvaiaiin
says that a large proportion of the
diseases of children, and adults
too. oould be esoaped by the fre
quent cleansing of the carpets
upon the floors of our living rooms

ry as well as from an economical
point of view. It is the dust that
oolleots in carpets and under them
that makes them unsanitary, and
'it is the oorners and edges ot a
room that retains most of the dust,
and the sides of a room should be
left bare and painted or oovered
with some material that will wash
well so it can be cleaned often. A
dusty, soiled carpet is an excellent
germ breeder, and the best way to
remove all dust from a room is to
give the carpet or matting a good
sweeping, then wring a cloth from
dear, warm water in whioh a lit
tle borax is dissolved, and wipe
hard eaoh breadth of the oarpet,
rubbing straight down the nap,
and a solution of . hot soap suds
and borax will remove ordinary
grease stains from a oarpet. When
borax is used in the water, it
brightens the colors in the carpet
and then it purifies and disinfects
and the finest carpets can be
oleaned with the borax water
without any injury and when the
floor covering is cleaned in this
way and the damp duster used,
there can be no dust or disease
germs lets in tne room as tne
borax water kills all germ life and
then it is one of the best disinfec
tants we have for household use;
