Itandall Williams and his wife Lizzie are laborers on the farm of Dr Woods. Lizzie has Leen sick for a year, her imtciatel form being proof that she was not shamming. She had been at tended by the best doctors in the county, but without ar.pircnttx neSt. This dis heartened Latidall, and a a last leort he consulted a voodoo doctor of the m-ighborhootl, who told hira if he would take Lizzie and g.vith her to Edgefie'd county and coniqlt a certain witch doc tor tLat he could tell him what tn do. Handa'l complied, and was told while in consultation with the Edgefield sorcerer, that he (Randall) v.ould, by a di igent search of his piemises, find the cause of his wife's trouble, in the meantime giv ing him a minute description of what it was and wlu.t it resembled, pn his re tvrn home. with his wife, Randall search ed diligently but unsuccessfuly for the charm. Itandall had, however, given Dr Woods a description of the charm es the sone er gave it to him. Dr Woods then, as a joke, hid away in Williams's house a "chaim-'of his own make, which tallied with the one ducribed by the witch do -tor, and when found by Ran dall tie next day was th wonder of all thj negroes in the ' neighbor! od, and the occasion of much rejoicing by the . Williams family and their friends. Ran dall, then by direction of his w itch doc tor, took the char.n to the liver, and ap pro iching the water, walked backwards, teased it over his head into the current. The -strangest part of the story is that Lizzie, from the day the charm was found, began to improve, is now as ac tive and spiightly asany joung girl on the plantation, Randall is a ntjjro of some intelligence and is a subscriber to and reads regularly the weekly e.-ition of hi New Yoik tribune.

DEVOTED TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF REIDSVILLE AND REIDS VILLE, HOUSE-AND SENATE. OTJB BTJSY LEGISLATORS. ... - Many Laws Introduced, But Few Passed. , 3I03DAY In the House to-dav, Mr Dougherty, of Florida, made an effort to secure consideration of the yellow fever bill, but Mr E IJ Taylor, of Ohio, ob jected and stated that no moie legisla tion should be enacted during this ses sion. . . . . 3Ir Wheeler offered a resolution lecit ing that the Senate tariff bill is oppres sive to the mass of the people aid in the interest of the monopolists. The reso tions, though objected trt were referred t ) the Committee on Rules. Mr tJrttes, of Alabama, offered a reso lution adjourning jCongref s sine die on Wednesday, October 17th. The resolu tion went over. . Mr Dougherty, of Florida, withdrew, his pMnt of no quorum upon recorsider ction of the vote by which the House parsed the Presidential count bill, and the motion to table the motion to recon uder was carried, thus settling the pas sage of the bill, which now goes to the President! . The House then, at 1 :55, adjourte 1 until tomorrow. In the Senate debate on tho tariff bill, Mr Allison ia alluding to the pros pect of the passage of the Senate tariff bill, f aid he did not believe it could pass the Senate "thi session, and that the Senate when it adjourned, should agree to take up the bill immediately after re assembling in December. Tuesday The only featuie of the House pioceedings to-day was the failure to agree upon a date for final adjourn ment of Congress. The Senate devoted the entire day to the discussion of the tariff question. 3Ir Cjckrcll first took the floor in op position t6 the Senate substitute. He contrast! d the positions of the two polit ical parties as between ultraprottction and moderate iat.es of duty. In connection Aith his speech, Mr Cockrell tiled .a letter from the commis sioi er of internal revenue saying that the removal of the duty on alcohol used in the aits would lead to extensive frauds on the revenue. Mr Allison sajsthat thi3 had not been the experience of England and Germany. Wood alcohol he said could not be demethy Hated except by distillation. Mr Nest said that he had seen in the office of the commissioner of internal revenue a machine costing $22, by which wood alcohol could be converted into pure whisky. If that were so, Mr Ail i son said, then the Senator from Missouri had a machine by which he could make whisky in a bureau drawer. Some amusement was caused by Mr Vest's protests against Mr Allison's illu sion to him as the possessor of an illicit r,t 51 1. Mr Spooner next spoke. He confined his remarks almost entirely to arguments on extracts from testimony taken before an English pieliminary committee, prov ing that the results of free trade in its home not satisfactory.

He clear ed, his skirts of all charges Mr Kilgore offered a resolution to ad journ on October 20th ; but it was refer red to the committee on wa) s ana moans, and the House at 2:15 adjourned until tomorrow. In the Senate Mr Allison offered a resolution for a recess of Congress from October 20 to November 20. Messrs Cockrill Morgan and Salisbury opposed it, contending in favor of an adjournment instead of reces3. The lcsolution went over until to morrow. Tariff speeches were made by Senators Teller and Morgan, and at 5:15 the Sen ate adjourned. Thursday The House to-day agreed to the Senate resolution fixing Saturday, October 20, as the day for final adjourn ment. When tne resolution came to the House, Mr McMillan made an extended tariff speech, in which he "he held that the Senate bill increased eleven out of fourteen of the tariff schedules. Mr Taylor and Mr Bayne, both con troverted Mr McMillen's statement. Mr Bte:kenridge, of Kentucky, was drawn into a controversy. with Mr Tay lor about the sugar schedules in which Mr Taylor charged that the schedules were agreed npjn after consultation with Mr Havemeyer, of Brooklyn, X. Y., president of the Havemeyer Sugar Refin ery. This was denied by M. Breckenridge. At 4 80 p. m. the House adjourned. Sknate Mr Allison's m t'on to take a recess from October 20 to November 19, was laid before the Senate to-day. Mr Brownt(Dem) moved to. amend by making ad journmmt on Saturday final. After some debate Mr Brown's motion was agreed to, a majority of the Repub licans voting against it, and a majority of the Democrat for it. A tariff debate then sprung up part'ei pated in by Messrs. Aldrich, of Connecti cut; Cockrill, of Missouri; Teller, of Col oiado; Frye, of Maine; Eusli, of Louisi ana, and others. At 6 p m the Senate adjourned. Friday The nocss transscted no business today. Objections were made to calling up bills to reaudit an account tetween the State of Pennsylvania and the United States, and to authorize the city of Minneapolis to reconstruct certain public worKs. At one o'clock the House adjourned to 11 o'clock tomorrow. Sexate Th'-re were four Senators present during the morning hour of the Senate. At its conclusion, the resolution authorizing the finance commit te to con tinue its hearings on the tariff was adopted. Mr Teller's i evolution for the investi gation of the purchase of prison made oods by the interior department, was withdrawn by Lim. N. C., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26. 1888. Satcrdat At one o'clock to-ds j Con -grew concluded one of its largest and most interefctlnsr sessions. ' . . After'320 days deroted largely to the discussion of economic questions, after the passage by the House of Rrprrsenta tires of a notable taiiff , measure, and the declaration of the Republican party of its views on this important question by the report from the Fiotixo Committee of a substitute for the House me asure, Congress suspends its pablic work until the first Monday in December. Two Men on Trusts. Crorer Cleveland. But it is notorious that this comietiiion among domestic pro ducers is too often strangled by combina tions quite prevalent at thi time, and fre qutntly called Trust, which bave for their object the regulation of tho supply and price of commodities made and sold by members of this com bination. The people cjn hardly hope for any consideration In the operation of these i-elflfh schemes. The neces ity of combina tion to maintain the price of any commod ity to the tariff point furnishes proof that some one is willing to accept lowtr prices for fuch commooity, and that such prices are remunerati ve ;and lower pricts produc ed by ccm(etitiun prove the same thing. Thus where either of thesa conditions exist a case would seem to be presentei for an eas reduction of tax ation. JamesQ. Blaine. '-When President Cleveland delivered his message be had Munething to say to the American pecpW about the danger of Trusts. I think there have rince been no Democratic papers in the country, wliether they under-tood the meaning of the word or not, they bave not been constantly warn ing the people as to tha horrible danger of Trust. Well, I shall not discuss Trusts t his afternoon. I shall not venture to Fay that they fire altogether advantageous or div advantageous. They are largely private affairs, with whch neither President Cleveland n r any private citizen ha-, any particular right to interfere. South Carolina Minerals. The Magnetic Iron Ore and Stesl Com pany, composed of capitalists from At lanta and Birmingham, which 'was re cently chartcied in Sculh Carolina, has just purchased for $00,000 the greater part of the magnetic iron ore tract, near the town of Blacks, in York county. It was known that there was iron ore in that section, but it had no railroad con nection, and norhirg was done toward utilizing it until the Charleston, Cincin natti and Chicago road was run through it. , T1 e property contains an inexhaus table supply of the finest quality or mag netic fcteel oie, fne form phosphorus and titantic acid. The company will imme diately commence building a ste.d fur nace and rolling mills on the line of the Charleston, Cincinnati and Clucago road. This road will bring coai to the furnace for $2.50 a ton. A small part of this property was bought a few years ago for $150, and it was sold to the company foi $12,500. Uncle Sam's Mail.

The offices are only located in towns having a population of 10,000 and over, or the xeceipts are over $10,000. The whole number of carriers employed is 6, 346. There was over nine million more letters delivered last year than the year before, an increase of over 11 per cent , while the increasa in the number of newspapers delivered was over 86,000,000, or 25 per cent. The increase in the number of letters collected was 143,000,000, or about 23 per cent; while the ir.creas3 in the num ber of newspapers collected was 25,000,- 000, or 25 per cent. The excess of f0i'f tace on local matter over total ccst service is over two million and a quarter dollars. A Toung Convict. Probably the youngest convict iu the United States is now in the State prison at Nashville, Tenn. His name is Dan Jordan, and he was sent from Memphis last Sunday. He is less than eleven years old, and is small for his age. He was convicted of having stolen $5, and sentenced to three years in the pemten-; . ... m tiary. When the tirst nigat ol nis incar ceration came the guard did not lock him in a solitary cell, but allowed him to lis on a blanket by the stove, wheie he sobbed himself to sleep. He has a widowid mother in Memphis. Fighting the If. & D. WaSHiKGTOK. Special. The Inter state Commerce Commission rendered a decision in the css3 of the Spartanburg, S.

FIFTY-FIVE KILLED. 1 - TESHIBLE BATXEOAD ACCIDENT In PennsylvaniaA Young Lady's Leg Amputated with an Axe. Wilkesbabre, Pa. The Father 3Iat thew celebration at - Hazelton, Pa., Wedceiday, endid in a mott frightful disaster, the -like of which has never been seen before on the Lehigh Valley read, or, indeed, in the country. Tha wretk occurred ct Mud Run, about midway between White Haven and Penn Haven Junction. The iirst f ectlon, while standing still, was run into by the second section. The last three cars of the first section filltd to overflowing, were- totally wrecked, and al 1 the passongei s ia the rear ar were killed. The last two cars were telescoped, and the passengeis were CRUSHED TO DEATH, - packed against the boiler. The scene was hrartrending. It was nearly six hours before the first section was able to reach WilRcsbarre, the wounded bting conveyed ia ambulances from Mill creek to the city hospital. HORRIBLE ESCIDEXTS. Passengers on the several sections of the train tell tales too horrible for belief under any other circumstances. Thsy relate that the third section of the ex cursion train stood in the track a few hundred yards from Mud Run, wtidng for the sections ahead to get out of the w;:y. A biakeman. so they ' said, had been sent back with a lantern to guard the train in the rear. Suddenly they saw a train approaching from the rear at a high rate of speed. Several who were on the rear platform jumped off and escaped. One young . woman sprang, but seeing two little boys who were ia her charge, yet on the platform, she climbed back to rescue them and lost her life by her darng. In " one instant the flash of a headlight illuminated the interior of the ill-fatei car. There was a frightful crash, and the tngine plunged her full length into the crowded mass of humanity. The shock drove the rear car f hrough the next one for two-thirds of its length, and the second into the third. It is not likely that a single person escape I in the rear car. The secord was crowded with maimed and bleeding bodies, and the thiid car had but few passengers who escaped. The passengers in both trains were terribly shfckeUj up and bruised. They , soon swarmed upon the track, and the FULL. nORROlt OF THE AQCIDEST dawned upon them. The thrcng from from the two trains gathered beside the telescoped engine and car, and there witnessed the most fearful sight of their lives. J The shattered engine was pourirg forth clouds of scalding steam and streams of water which partly hid from human eyes many horrible scenes. The hissing of steam deadened tie shrieks and groans of those in vol red in the ruin. Ghastly, wh:te laces peered in the winoows to be greeted by faces more ghastly. Tie already dead, gripped in the broken timbers, sat, some erect ts in life, staring, openeyer', as if aware of the horrible surroundings. Here a youth, stone dead, held his little brother, whose fett were pin ioned. A father wa3 crushed nnd mangled, and lay at full length upon the prostrate form of his ton, badly injured. As the tteam and smoke cleared from the car, its GHASTLY SIGHTS WARE BETTER REVEALED The timbers were crushed and wrenched into all sorts of shapes, while , in every part hung mangled bodies and bloodier than butcher shambles. A few unmtn gled bodies were burned and scalded by the ste am, and little remained in the cars which bore human resemblance. AIDIXG THE UNFORTC3UTES. - When the first 6hock subsided the uni hurt passengers began to do what they J could for the unfortunates. The few light tools on the train were called into requisition, but proved feeble instru ments, indeed. The windows of the cars were smcshtd, and brave men entered, and released those least hurt or least entangled. In one car they found John Lynch, brother-in-law of Policeman Guinney, hanirinir from the roof bv one Ice.

The name carnation pink" is prob ably corrupted, so the ew York Sun informs a correspondent, from "corona tion pink. In Cueen Elizabeth's time this pink was held in high estimation, and it was customary for persons who were betrothed to wear some f.ower as an external sien or token of their tin gsgement. The carnation was most commonly chosen for this purpose, and Spenser says in his Shepherd's Calendar: Bring betber tha pincks and porpla cullam - bice. - With geUiflowres; Drins coronations and sops in wine.

A Mexican sheep herder on Perderales 1 Creek, tetween Kern and Gillespie Counties, northwest of San Antonio, Texas, hav made a find which would prove a treasure to tha curiosity seeker. Some dajs ago while tending his flock he felt a sharp substance pierce the sole of his htavy shoe and stab his foot Thinking that it km an unusually strong thorn he stooped down to remove it, and found that the body of tha instrument was buried in the ground. Digging down for some inches he unearthed a stiletto, or dagger. The blade was four tee l inches in length, with an exceed ingly sharp point and edge. It was buried in a perpendicular position, point upwardf the handle was fpur inches Wg, making the entire weapon measure eighteen inches. It was all handle and blade, molded of one piee of exceedingly fine-tempered steel. The handle ana four inches of the b'ade were heavily in laid with pure gold, which was let into the baser metal in blocks a half inch long and a quarter inch wide. This gold was all carved with signs and symbols in an unknown tongue, baring a decidedly Eastern appearance. It is the common opinion that the knife was lost by one of the Spanish cavaliers who attempted to explore this section 200 years ago. Its knightly owner is supposed to have se cured it from some ancestor who won it from the Moors when they invaded Spain. The carving of the gold is de cidedly Arabic in cuaracter. Neto Tvrk tut. - . A Millionaire's Mansion. Potter Palmer, the Chicago million na'ie, lives in a house that is said to be more like a castie than any other resi dence in Chicago. Jio two rooms are alike in style or finish. The house is built with a rotunda surmounted by a Moorish dome, and all the doors open into a circular hill. The supporting pillars and the balustrades are made of polished marble. An elevator, paneled with plate-glass ad upholstered in satin, carries the occupants of the house to the upper rooms. Mr. Palmer has two sons, lads of twelve and fourteen years of age, who have their gymnasium, shooting- ; gallery and play-rooms in a house built specially for their use, and they are taught all the accomplishments as well as the manly arts. Harper Waklj, Knocked Down by Jiegroes. W. B. Smith, engaged ia the turpen tine businef-s in the Mount Carroel neigh borhood in (Jolleton county, S.

C. ceir the Virginia State line, or to make their way to" a turpentine farm near Willachoochee, Ga., owned by Corney Howell, where they are supposed to have friends.

In reading, the bsok or paper should be held at a distancs of from ten to fif teen inches from the eyes. The reader's position should be such that the light may fall on the loo";, and not on the eyes. The light itself should Le suf ficient. Koth ng is so injurious to the eyes a poor light in reading. Next to sunlight the incandescent light gires the best illumination for rpadintr. and all notions of the injurious effect on the eyes of the electric light are erroneous. Nearly everybody reads while riding in the cars. This should be avoided, at the jolting and shaking of the train causes a great strain to the eyes and will certainly injure the s'ght. At the first sytrptoms of near-sighted-ne-s spectacles should be worn. There is a great deal of popular prejudice against spectacles, but there are two good reasons why they should te worn, and only two. One is that we see better, and the other thst the strain on the eyes mav be relieved. The near-sighted child should wear spectacles, because they arc the best pre ventive against increase of near-sightedness and also because he loses a great part of his educ ation in not being able to see more than a few feet away. The vast majority of people who wear glasses can see well without them. They iliom to avoid a constant strain on the eyes. The act of focalization is a muscular one aad uses up nervous en ergy. "' The oversighted ee, in which ths focu comes behind the retina, has to perform this muscular act continually. The results are headache, irritability and cauvea. The only remedy in such cases is to wear glassest For eyes in a healthy state there is but one safe wah pore cold water. When the eyelid are inflamed the best lotion is a weak solution of salt and water. Never apply poultices to the eyes or me ' 'eye-water without the advice ! of a hvsscian. my He Thonrht He'd Walt Dentist "Mr. Doppeoheimer, you won't feel me pull the tooth.
