The whistle screamed and the brakes rasped against the wheels to no purpose. The train, under its hish momentum, was scarcely checked, . roaring on the trestle, while the man and the bear were still on the track. For an instant or so it seemed mat tne man in the effort to save his pet would lose his own life, 'but at the last moment, with the train almost up- rfl A t A.

Does any body think that any such resolution would have been adopted when the ne groes could vote? Wonder if a copy was sent to President Roose velt? The Republican legislators who adopted the above resolution as sert in their address that they 'fairly represent the intelligence of the party," and this is probably true, hence the significance and importance of their utterance.

From the Wadebor Messenger. ". Wadesboro had two interesting visitors last Sunday. They-were Captain Theodore F. Northrop,' of New " York city, -and Mr. J. W. Landigan, of Washington,- DVC. There was nothing particularly strange in the appearance of these grentlemen. TEey looked like or dinary well-to do elderly business men, so the interesting thing about them was not their looks, but the fact that they had once before visited our town under very dif ferent circumstances: - - ' . On the morning of the 3rd day of March, 1865, the first of Sher man s troops arrived in Wades boro, by way of the Camden road. Their coming was entirely unher aided, and it goes without sayin; tnat tneir suaaen appearance on our streets caused great excite ment. These troops, about 30 in number, were a detachment of Sherman's scouts, under command of Capt. Theodore F. Northrop, our visitor of Sunday. Mr. Lan digran was a private in Capt. Northrop's- company, and they are between the track and the edge of j now engaged in a tour of the route the trestle. ? i : thev took throno-h the Smith as. a A Guaranteed Cure For Piles.

It was thought to have been settled last year and that peace would now prevail, but it bas broken out afresh and with renewed activity (if not bitterness) and no man can predict the end thereof.

Mormon President Admits Perjury. Salt Lake, March 19. Spurred on by attacks from . within the Church, President Joseph F. Smith, of the Mormon Church, today pro claimed to a large audience of the faithful in the Tabernacle that he had given false testimony before the Senate Committee on Privi leges and Elections. He aunounc- ! ed that he does receive revelations from God. Testifying in the Smoot j case, President Smith denied sev eral times that he received revela tions, declaring at .one time: "I his eminent services within the next four years by -a diplomatic post oi high rank. There may be some obstacles to the President's programme in this regard, how ever, as the Senate does not place a high valuation on Mr. Loomis' diplomatic attainments and may intimate to the President that his confirmation for a post of import ance would be attended with seri ous difficulty. The decision of Congress to re turn to the several States all the Confederate battle flags captured in the Civil War and the prompt approval by the President of the bill authorizing such return seems to have created much enthusiasm in the South and complimentary letters are daily reaching the White House thanking the Presi : dent for his part in the legislation. There is little doubt in the minds of Southern members of Congress that this graceful act on the part of Congress and the President will torn and instantly killed, his last movement haying been the defiant sweep of his paw as the engine breathed its hot breath upon liim. The train was stopped some hundred yards bej'ond the trestle and the 'crew and passengers went back to view the remains of the bear and to see the owner who had j himself only escaped with his life. Bundled on the side of the track lay t he gory remains of jyhat had been a wonderful white bear; such as are taken around the country to box and dance for the amusement that they give and the pennies they make At the side of the carcass stood the owner, swart, with the terror and excitement of the scene still in his black eyes; transfigured with woe. His hat was gone and the midnight tangle of his hair show ed above the brown wrinkles of his skiu the sunny skies of his nativi ty. Below the dusty jauutiuess of his stiff enried mustache the mouth fell into hard lines of hope less despair. cHis figure, with the bowed shoulders, the black shirt and the inevitable red tie was asj one shrinking: iiL'der fate for the next swfep of the knout. "Gooda Murie! Gooda Marie!! Da hava kill Guiseppel Da killa Guiseppe! Wlmt-ado now? What a do now? 'Aii-Aii! Cara bam bino! Aii! Aii!"

They came back into Anson county that night, arriving at the ' Tillman place (now the property of Mr. Fred Tillman), in White Store township, about 10 o'clock. At 12 o'clock the body was buried in the front yard of the Tillman dwelling. The body, how ever, was removed soon afterward to a spot remote from the house. Lieutenant Griffin, according to Capt. Northrop, was an Alabam iau, and a deserter from the Con federate army. The captain fur ther stated that Griffin was one of the best shots in the encire service, and had killed more men than any other man he knew of in the army.
