Mr. Butler offered another striking out Richmond county and inserting "North Carolina, repealing all laws in conflict with." Mr. Murphy, of Buncombe, in quired: "Does the gentleman in that amendment represent his party, the Republican party of the State?" Mr. Butler replied: "I am here represent ing my county; which is a prohibition county, but I am not making a mis take when I say I can represent the Republican party as taking that step.'' Great applause. Mr. Beaman, Republican, of Mitch ell, said he would to God the amend ment would pass and was satisfied the Republican party in North Carolina was in favor of an honest prohibition law, treating all sections of the State alike.

Two valuable mules, four milk1 cows and a calf perished in the flames and a quan tity of feed was burned. This is sup-, posed to have been the act of an incen diary. With the January number Dr. John Spencer Bassett announces that he will retire from the editorship of the Atlantic Quarterly. This position he has held since the establishment of the journal in January, 1902. Gorman Burns, the gamkeeper who was accidentally shot in the eye by George Gould oh his game preserver near. High Point, returned home ' Wed nesday, accompanied by a bride to whom he was married a few days ago." Mrs. Burns was . Miss Henrietta J. Pierce, a nurse in the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary. She was in attend ance on Burns while he was under treatment, which involved the remoYal cf the injured eye. The discharge of the patient, the resignation of the nurse, and the wedding occurred the same day. Fire Friday night destroyed a lot of property in Hamlet, and at one time it looked as if the whole town would be destroyed. The Charlotte Poultry Show opened Wednesday under auspices that are more promising by far than anything of its kind that has, so far, been un dertaken in that -city. Mr. H. P. Schwab, a man who is of well-recog nized ability and authority, will serve as judge.

It has enormous eyes, black as night but quite unprovided with irises. These eyes are perfectly insensible to light, and when the experiment has been made of catching a cavern rat and turning it loose in the bright sun light it blunders about, striking itseif against everything, is unable to pro vide itself with food and finally fall down and dies. v In its native depths, however, it is able to lead a comfortable enough ex istence, as its enormously lonsr whisk er's, are. so extremely sensitive that tney enable it to find its way rapidly through the darkness. The principal food of the cavern rat consists of a kind of large cricket, . of a pale yellow color, and which, like most cave dwell ers, is perfectly blind. Tit-Bits.
