Wo did not know there was meh a

however, thai hemlock and eel root are
very much alike and ouly experts know
the difference in the foliage of the two
plants. Strange lo say they are alwaji
found growing together, and look and
taste alike. Hemlock is prisonous, while
eel root is very nice ami harmless, We
suppose the buy llockaday ate hemlock,

Conukkssional Convention. The
Second district convention meets today
in (juldsburo, ai 4 o'clock p. m. It will
be a most interesting contest and nu
one can safely tell who will be the nom
inee. Halifax will send a solid delega
tion to work and vote for Claude Ki'ch
io and he will go ioto the couvuniiun
with a strong backing aod more than
an even chance of winning on the final
ballot. While conceding that all ill.
gentlemen mentioned are strong and cap
able, and whoever is chosen will reoeive
our hearty support, we believe that old
Halifax is entitled to the honor aud that
she will be accorded it.

Man Burned to Death William
Dillon, a white man, was burned to death
at Rianoke Rapids, Wednesday nighl
the llUh.
He had ooly been living at the Rapids
a few days. Dillon went there from
Petersburg and got work io the cotton
mills No. 1. Weduesday he was arnstid
and put io the lock up for being drunk
and disorderly. That night about l'J
o'clock it waa discovered that lha jail was
oo fire, and before the prisoner could be
gotten out be was burned to death. The
origin of the fire is uuknowo, but it is
supposed that the mao set the building
oo fire, being very drunk and probably
o t knowing what be was doing. The
fire bad made such headway when the
alarm was given that it was impossible to
save the building, which was a small
wooden structure, or the prisoner.
It is learned that Dillon wai i native
of Guilford county aod that his houir
was near Greensboro,

j A Bold Burglar. Oue of the sool
est and boldest burglars ever before beard
of entered the residence of Mr. M. D.
Alsbrook, on Fourth street, Saturday
night. About one o'clock during the
uight Mrs. Alsbrook awoke aud discov
ered the man in her room. He was
kneeling by the bed and feeling around,
oo doubt, for money. At first Mrs. Als
brook thought it was a dog and she said
"yet out." The man then tjuieily arose
but appeared iu no hurry to leave. Mrs.
Alsbrook, who is a brave wotnao, called
to Leslie Alsbrook, a young relative who
was stopping over here on his way to
Richmond, and said there was a mau iu
her room, at the same time telling the
burglar if be did not get oat she would
shoot liiiu. Ab mt this time the yuung
ladies who wcro iu ao adjoining room
began to scream and theo the man ran
out just as Leslie fired off his pistol. He
left au old pair of low quarter tao shoes
behind, about number nines.
At .'I o'clock the mao returned and
shook the door, and when asked what be
wanted he said "It's gentleman, I want
my shoes." He was then told that if he
did sot leave immediately he would be a
oor pse.
Fortunately for the burglar Mr. Als
brook was from home or be would have
been killed when first discovered. There
was no one in the hous-3 except the ladies
ml the boy Leslie Alsbrook who, is
staled, was here on his way to Rich
mond. It is quite i mystery as it is. It is
almost incredible to believe that any man
in his right senses would have returned
to the house a second time and after
shaking the doir assert that he had re
turned to get his shoes. The room be
ing dark Mis. Alsbrook oould not tell
whether the man was white or black, aod
there are only the shoes left as clue to
his identity.
A Fine Sermon. Rev. J. D. Bundy
in bis sermon Sunday night, to use i
familiar saying, made a "home run." In
other words, it was a sermon for the home
and it is a great pity that every father
and mother, and oihers as well, did not
hear it. The text was Proverbs 25ib,
and 11th verse : "Words fitly spoken
are like apples of gold io pictures of
silver."
The sermon was one of beauty and
calculated to do good. It is a great pity
that we do not have more sermoos oo
this order. Congregations would be
larger aud we would not have so m my
adverse criticisms of sermons aod preach
er. Mr. Bundy s sermon Sunday night
isjust what the people need. It is all
folly to wait until one is dead and theu
scatter Sowers upon their cuskcls Speak
words to the living which shall be indeed
n "apples of gold in pictures of silver,"
aod scatter sunshine iu the homes of the
toiling masses. The pathetic little story
of the "baggage coach ahead" was told
by the speaker as an illustration of some
portions of his sermon. It was to the
effect that a sleepy passenger in a Pull
m in car became cross aud vexed because
of the piteous cries of ao infant, which a
Win was vaioly trying to quiet, and
asked in a harsh tone of voice if the
mother of the child was not oo the train
The man replied that she was. "Then,"
said the irritated occupant of the sleep
ing car berth, "why don't you take the
child to her." "Because," replied the
pareu', with a sob io his voice, "she is io
the baggage coach ahead." This touched
the heart uf the other and he replied
very gently, this lime, "well, then, you
take my berth and go to sleep and give
ms the child and I will endeavor to i liet
it."
The poiut was, io the preseoco uf death
we all uncuver our heads and have kind
ly feelings. Then why not cultivile
these tender emotions at all times, and
always speak kindly, one to mother, ind
scatter flowers by the wayside to gladden
tbo hearts of the living? Don't wait
u itil alter death to do i kindly deed or
speak a comforting word.
The Coming Solar Eclipse. Moo
day lha 28th is the day for the solar
ellipse and it is ooly about ouce io a life
ti ue we h ive an opport unity to witness a
total eclipse.The weather being fair on the
morning of the 23th the sun can be seen
to enter the shsdows about 6:30 aod
while it will be well to have a piece of
I aoked glass so as to observe it at all
stages uf the eclipse, it can be looked
upon with the naked eye just before aud
after totality, and for a short period it
will pass completely away, and then the
darkness uf night will settle upon the
earth. This, of course, only means io
the line of totality which is very oairow
Weldoo is io or quite near, the central
liue of totality ind this is probably smong
the favored points where I lie eclipse can
b witnessed In the bfat advanlsee,
There is very singular phenomenon
during the moments iinu ediatcly pro
Ogling and following toial fo'sr eclipses,
fid has, up lo the present lime, never
beeo satisfaeturily explained. Just before
totality, (usually sbout ooo minute be
fore) alternate bright and dark bands are
observed sweeping across Ibe oountry.
These have beeo called shadow bands by
some observers, and diffraction bands by
Others. Iney can be observed to
the best advantage by laying
large piece of white cloth oo the
ground.
It has been suggested by Prof. Wood,
of the University of Wisconsin, that
sheets oi other Urge white cloths be laid
upon the ground, aod theo is soon is
the moving shsdows appear, which will
probably be about a minute before totali
ty, lay i lathe ou the sheet parallel to
I he shadows, with as great accuracy as
possible. Theo try to estimate the width
of the bands, and the velocity wilb which
they are moving, also the direction in
which they are going, that is whether
from east to west, or west t east.
