THE WiLSON ADVANCE: JUNE 25, 1S96.
LOCALS.
. We have had very little warm
weather this summer in fact - hardly
enough for the season but it now
seems as if summer has come sure
enough and "Old Sol" is putting in
his good f?) work.
I Several of our citizens have started
the ball rolling by . putting in sewer
age. The plumbers are kept buy
all the time. W e hope all who are
nble will nut in sewerase. It is cer
tainly a great convenience and is nec
essary for the health of the town.
MYSTIFIED BY ANNIE ABBOTT
THE LITTLE AVO.UAJI OF MYSTERY
On'y Oun Country.
General Longstreet in telling of
some of his experinces in the war,
said that during the campaign cf the
peninru'a he never had any opportu
nity ot sleeping except as his corps
was parsing him. j One night, as he
h id dismounted, leaving his, horse in
the charge of his orderly, and going
down into the angles of one of those
Virginia' fences1, he overheard two
. i
soldiers talking, which interested him
considerably, and, instead ot. sleeping
he listened to them. One , soldier
said to the other :
"I suppose it's.

lited by the Georgia tV.iinau.
That one woman has often proved
irresistible to a dozen or more men,
is a matter of history, and this being
true it is also on record that history
repeated itself last night..
Annie Abbott, the little "woman of
mystery' from Georgia, charmed,
electrified or mystified a dozen
or more Charlotte men, mak
ing them weak or, -strong according
to her will. Charlotte people are
mostly familiar with the history of
this little woman. For years she
has been giving exhibitions of her
power or skill." whichever it may be,
before not only the dignitaries of this.
country but -.before the crowned
heads of Europe. .- ; .
She is one, woman who raised the
Prince of Wales. He sat in the
chair for her, as did several gentle
men last night, and she "gave him a
lift." .
Last night she began her enter
tainment with a talk which was very
interesting. When she called for "re
cruits," the following, alter consider
able persuasion, went on the stage:
Dr. I. W. Faison, Chief of Police
Orr, Messrs. J. M. Scott, B. S. Da
vis, Harry Dixon, Russell Robbins,
C. F. Wadsworth, Richard Harriss,
Bingham and others.
Jflr. Scott was the first subject. He
held a chair in both hands and was
made to walk around with it simply
by the passing of Miss Abbott's
hands near him and the chair. Oth
ers tried to stand their ground, but
were not able to resist the wonderful
power of the little "Woman of Mys-
tery."
Dr. Faison and Messrs. Dixon.,
Orr, Davis and? Harriss, in another
test, were unable to lift her from the
floor. When their hands did not
come in contact with her skin it was
easy enough to lift her, but the min
ute their hands touched her fleshshe
was as immovable as the rock of
Gibraltar.
The efforts of the men and their
weakness in her hands furnished
material for peals of laughter. The
audience was convulsed all the time
tliat it was not wondering how she
did it.
She held a glass to" her head and
neck, and a loud tapping was heard;
caused, it is assigned , by the electric
ity in her. body.
Miss Abbott will remain here pos
sibly for the remainder of the week,
giving entertainments nightly, and a
matinee tomorrow. Charlotte Obser

The opinion that the smoking- of
cigarettes is peculiarly injurious, has
obtained to such an extent that many
States have enacted stringent laws
intended to restrict, almost to the de
gree of absolute prevention, the sale
of that commodity. It has been
stated, and is generally believed, that
the burning paper wrapper "inflicts
harm upon the mucous membrane of

The Record closes its interesting
and u seful article with the wise re
mark that the power of association, in
keeping a boy or a man true to his
idtals, is far more potent than re-
strictive legislation, which has often
even an opposite tendency among
the weak or obstinate. The estab

says, promises well for the physique
