A great, handsome, good-natured, hon est-hcartcd fellow was Charlie Winter, but so very bashful that in the presence of the gentler set he never could have told whether lie was standing on bn head or lits heels. Just now his failing was most iuimene! aggravated by tfie fact ! that he was head and ears in love with Clarice Wilmer, the sweetest, prettiest, most be wildering httlo beauty in all the region! round about.

Henry Wattcrson, of the Louisville Covritr-Jwmial, recently ad dressed the Bankers' Convention, which was in Session in that city. He was heart ily received, and after some pleasant re marks concerning banks and bankers) which put the Convention in the best of humor, Mr. Wattcrson said: , t .il . i . the politicians of the South and that you wish me to talk to you about tne ciouin. The South? The South? It is no prob lem at all. I thank God that at lust we can say with truth it is simply a geographi cal expression. Applause. The whole story of the South may be suinu ed up in a sentence. She was rich, and she lost her riches; she was poor and in bondage; she was set free, and she had to go to work ; she went to work and she is richer than ever before. The curse of slavery was here. God passed a rod across the land and smote the people. Then, in ills goodness anu mercy, He waved the wand of enc':autmeut, and lo! like a flower, His blessing burst forth. morning four caskets lay upon .the bier, all covered with flowers. The Confederate battle flag was displayed above them, while above it were tuWfet!br1 given T! the ToiMh North OftrJiiHWUmcnt m2 1 SGI, when the gallant and lamented tleorgo 15. An derson was its colonel, and which were car ried by that regiment all through the war. It was a singular concurrence that yester day twenty years ago the body of Gen. Geo. B. Anderson laid in state ' in tho same building. Early in the morning the Faycttoville Independent Light Infantry took charge as guard of honor. The bank of flowers over the caskets grew hourly larger, thanks to tho kindness of the ladios. Thore was no moment dur ing the day when visitors were not pres ent. By all classes the greatest reverence was shown.' the ' dead. "Many persons, some old soldiers among them, wept at the. sight. Early in the afternoon the troops began to form. Crowds gathered and the st-ccto were quickly filled. The proces sion formed opposite the court house, promptly, and beran its march up Fav- ettoville street at the moment. The order of formation was as follows: Chief Mar shalF. II. Cameron: staff: Capt. S. A. Ashe, Capt. E. K. Stamps, Dr. Eugen Grissorri, A; W. 1 Tay wood, ; Esq., Maj. C. V. Heartt and IA Col. r. A.

But whether this was done-or not the lustre of their deeds would not be dimmed in the eyes of the people of Norh Carolina. Their example had been a noble o ic, and he urged all his Jiearers to practice that bravery, courage, constancy, faithfulness in peace which these dead showed in war.

It is estimated that tho crowd numbered fully eight thousand, During tho early part of the day the crowd began tohuuor up, but the order was gen ally good until iu the alternoon when the bloodshed bean, when one man won killed mtriudit, and a man and a child wounded in a siiuxle liiiht. L'ur'nitr the night the chapter was ended with tho .lynching of the negro who did thu shooting. '. It was a terrible day for Statesvillo and during tho excitement ol tho afternoon, the circus folded its tent and left the town and tho irowd without giving n nkht performanc The circus troubles begun on tho Satur- lay night previous, when the first. difhoul. tv occurred. The town was then full of people and a good cioal of drinking Was l'ohil' on. .: A trouble arose between a white man named Rhyne, from 'Newton, and an unknown negro, in which the negro beat Rhvno fatally, crushing in his fore head and face. Rhyne was stillliving yes' terday when the Charlotte trainlelt States- ,ille,.hiit wits tnori ninginil hotel, in a suniiosed dying condition. (Monday about 11 . . . a a 1 noon a hcrce pistol duel took place between John Redman, white, and Chas. Campbell, colored, iu which Redman was shut through the heart. An old feud had existed be tween Redman and the negro and when they met m .statesvillo a tight was the re sult. Redman fired twice at the negro, but missed him anil the negro fired three times at Redman. The first bullet from the negro's pistol entered the abdomen of an old man standing near named Tym Bell, inflicting a serious but not a fatal wound. The second bullet entered tho leg of a little child that was being held in its mother's arms, and the third took effect in Rodman's heart, killing him instantly. , Campbell was arrested and curried to jail, in the midst of the greatest excitement. Redman's friends took charge of his body. That night at three o'clock they surrounded the jail and forced an entrance in Campbell's cell ami securing the prisoner took him to a tree ou the western suburbs of tho town and hung him. So (juicily was tho lynch ing done that none of the . cituens of the town were aware of anything , until after suii-un. when Campbell's body was discov ered dangling from the tree. None of the townspeople, hud any hand in the work and were not aware that any idea of lynching the negro had been entertained by any one, It is but i list ice to thu citizens of States- ville to say that in a'l these uinluibaiiogS not a citizen of the town was engaged in a single one. It was altogether tho work of visitors from tho neii'liboriniz couutios. It was certainly a day long to bo romombcred and such a ouc as the people of that place hope never to see return. .
