BEPOKtJ HE WAS BORN.
A San Francisco paper tells a curious
story of a iMr. Watson, of that city, who
understands the Turkish language with
out ever having learned it. His father
was u missionary in Asia Minor, and died
there some time before the birth of his
child. Not many months after his birth his
mother returned with him to this country,
and died while he was yet an infant. He
received a fair education, but never de-
voted himself particularly to linguistic
studies. Not long ago he happened to
be in the office of the Turkish counsel
in San Fransisco. whpn ho overheard
some conversation poiny on between the
consul and some Turkish sailors. He
was surprised to notice that the sounds
seemed familiar to him, and, listening
carefully, ho found that he could under
stand almost all that was said. He savs
that it secmeed as though a veil was re-
moved rroiu nis comprehension, or a new
1 n .
faculty added to his mind. He is said
to have tested this gift a number of times
since. Arabic he can understand a little
of. All other foreign languages are sim
ply a jumble of strange sounds in his ears,
but lui kish he understands almost per-
feetly.
THE TRESTLE CltASHED.
At 8:30 Thursday night a fearful ac
cident occurred at W inston. The two
hundred feet trestle leading out from
tho Norfolk and Western Railroad De
pot went down carrying with it a large
Hog engine and six freight cars. The
engine was nearly over the bridge when
the collapse occurred, but was jerked
back one hundred feet with groat force.
Firntn.ni James Eben was shifting the
tram. He aud Phil llav. another train
hand, received serkms injuries. A col
ored man was also slightly hurt. The
trestle was about fotly feet in heighth.
Tbe euiiuc was left almost upright on
the trestle. Iluudrcds of citizens viewed
the sad scene. The loss is heavy on the
railroad company. News and Observer.

BIG TREES.
HOW THE Bid TREES OF CALIFORNIA
WERE DISCOVERED.
One afternoon of the year 1841,
Oe
leneral John Bidwell, then a youne lad
and a member of a band of pioneers who
had crossed the Rockies and were de
scending tho western elope of tho Sierra
XT 1 n
mvauas or uaiilomia, in what is now
Calaveeas County, left his companions
and went on a hunting expedition.
liis success in securing came is not
recorded, but his hunt will be forever
memorable as probably the first occasion
on which the giant sequoia, or "big tree,"
was seen by a white man. Tbe dusk of
early evening caused him to hasten back
to camp without pausing to examine
these before unheard of kings of the
forest, and the urgency of Dressinsr on
ward to tbo coast prevented him from
returning to them. He afterward planned
an expedition to go to Caluveras county
for the express purpose of learning more
about tbe trees of which be had seen only
enough to arouse his enthusiasm, but the
war and the conquest of California, and
later, the excitement which followed the
discovery of gold caused him for the time
to abandon the scheme.
Eleven years passed, and the big tree
aunougu it naa been discovered, was still
practically unknown. Then, in the spring
of 1852, writes Mr. Shinn, to whom we
owe this acoount, a hunter, while pursu
inga wounded grizzly, found the sequoia
grove in Calaveras. He evidently staved
long enough to become impressed by the
size of the trees, for on returning to his
comrades they refused to believe his eto
ries, nor would they gi with him to the
scene of his alleged discovery.
One morning, a short time afterward.
he came into camp, and, reporting that
he had shot an enormous grizzly, asked
his companions to go out and help him
bring it in Leading them to the sequoia
grove, he pointed to the largest tree, and
said triumphantly, "There, boys, is my
gnzzily !
Today we know that the home of the
big tree, bequoia giuantea of botanists
extends from I'laccr County to southern
Tulare County, on the western slope of
the Sierra Nevadas, from 4000 to 6000
feet above tbe sea, and that on the coast.
from Monterey county north to northern
California, it has a near but smaller rela
tive, the Sequoia senipervirens, or red
wood. Frank M. Chapman, in Decem
ber St. Nicholas.
A NEGRO FIEND.
On Wednesday morning of last week
a horrible rape was perpetrated upon the
person of a three year old child, tho
daughter of R. F. Hendley, living three
miles from Polkton iu this State, by
Marshall Davis, a negro boy 19 y3ars old,
an employee of Mr. Hendlev. He was
kindling a fire in the Hendley bedroom
and the child was playing around him
when he suddenly seized her and accom
plished the hellish deed. This is the
second case of rape which has occurred
in that neighborhood within the last six
months, both victims being white children
under five years of age. Davis was ar
rested and brought to trial. He submit
ted and acknowledged bis crime and de
scribed in detail tbe horrible deed. He
was sent to Wadcsboro to be placed in
jail to save his neck from immediate
stratchmg.
The Cause of Rheumatism. An
acid which exists in sour milk aud cider
called laotic acid, is believed by physi
cians to be the cause of rheumatism. Ac
cumulating in the blood, it attacks the
fibrous ii.-wuo.o in the joint.-, nnd emmm.
agonizing pains. V hat is needed is a
remedy m neutral'ze the acid, and to so
invigorate the kidnevs and liver that all
waste will bo carried off. Hood's Sirsa
parilla is heartily recommended by many
wbnin it has cured of rheumatism. It
possesses just the desired qualities, and
so thoroughly purifies the blood as to
prevent occurrence of rheumatic attacks.
We suggest a trial of Hood's Sursaparilla
by all who suffer from rheumatism.

DRAINING THE SOUTH.
Raleigh Chruiudt'..
Domcunio ago we used some figures
from the speech of Hon. II. A. Herbert,
member of Congress from Alabama, be
fore the Bank President's Association, of
Boston, to show tbo great drain on the
South for money. It appears that there
had been paid on the public debt more
than $1,400,000,000, and that of this
sum the South had paid 8466,000,000,
Add to this the annual tax on tbe South
of $50,000,000 for pensions, and one of
tbe reasons why our people do not pros
per is made clear. The amount paid on
the public debt goes to Northern bond
holders, aud that which is paid for pen
sions goes into the pockets of "Northern
alleged vetorans," thus showing that not-
I! .1 n . .
witustanuing me aoutn Das been and is
now being drained of such vast sums of
money there is no incoming current in
her favor. This money goes out of the
South, but docs not return- Our people
must rely upon their cotton and other
crops to supply such an immense drainage
as well as their own needs. Here is an
evil that should be remedied. Remedial
legislation of a most summary nature is
demanded to stop such an injustico to
the South. How is it to be done? Re
vise the pension list by striking off of it
tbe names which should not be there
This alone would save annually to the
bouthern people $30,000,000 if not
more.
BOUND FOR TEXAS.
Newt & Ohserver.
A curious party of emigrants passed
through Raleigh last week bound for
lexas. It was a crowd of Third party-
ites from Harnett county who have be
come disgusted at the ill success of Third
partyism in this State and concluded to
seek a more congenial atmosphere. It
was learned that there were thirty in the
party, including a number of women and
they were all under tbe leadership of a
man named Holt, who has been a promi
nent Third party boss in Harnett. Since
the election these deluded people agitated
the matter among themselves and decid
ed, as their unwholesome political faith
did not seem to meet with either success
or sympathy in North Carolina, they
would not longer remain in tbe State,
but that they would go to Texas where
they say the headquarters of tbe Third
parly is. Accordingly a party of thirty
was made up and tbe pilgrims came by
wagon to Raleigh where they took the
train. They paid out five hundred dol
lars for railroad tickets. The women of
the crowd were dressed in Third party
costumes and wore " Weaver plumes.' It
is said that others arf selling out and
getting ready to follow them next month.
Ihey seem to think that tbe land of
promise will be reached -vhen they reach
their visionary political Mecca in Texas,
but it is said that none of them knew
exactly at what point in the Lone Star
State they would bring up or what they
will do when they are there. Possibly
they will in a short time own all the rail
roads and have sub-treasury warehouses
without limit. Who knows?- May joy
attend them and may halcyon peace re
main behind them io the land they have
discarded.

J Tobacco Cure !
A QUICK and ABSOLUTE CURE for the
TOBACCO HABIT!
Next to the whiskey traffic, it is the
most expensive and loathsome habit of the
American people. The minimi coRt runs
up into millions. Tbe average tobacco
user pays to gratify this unnatural appetite
from five to ten times mote than lie gives
to support the Church. Khumc on us.
This Cure has not yet failed where the
party was in earnest about quitting and
followed directions. Thousands have been
cnied of chewing, smoking and dipping.
Here are samples of certificates:
Birmingham, Ala., March 16, 1892.
Messrs. Ilmzeal & Co.:
Gentlemen I used tobacco for nine
teen years, and finding it injurious, decid
ed to quit it. About seven months ago,
with the Rose Tobacco and Snuff Cure, I
quit it, and now find my health greatly
improved, and thatlhavegainedSOpound?
in weight. A. T. Baker.
Messrs. Bbakeal & Co.:
Dear Sirs The tobacco tablet bought ot
yon December 30, 1891, has given perfect
satisfaction. It has cured two persons of
the tobacco habit myself and another. I
smoked cigarettes for four years, and had
been chewing fourteen years. Since the
use of the tablet I have no desire whatever
either lor smoking or chewing. It did the
work in four days. Yours truly,
E. T. Odom, Gadsden, Ala.
Rocky Ford, Ga., Jan. 12, 1892.
Messrs. Urazeal Co., Birmingham, Ala.
Dear Sirs I have used one of the tab
lets for cigarettes, and it has cured me. En
closed find $10. Please send me amount

business house of this town. Yours truly,
G. R. Head.
Mrs. J. F. Judd, of Fayette C. II., Ala.,

"I received my box of Snuff Cure and
am delighted with it. There is no doubt
of its curing any one who will give itafair
and honest trial and really has the desire
to cease using the, weed, and exercise thin
