Keep the record straight. ii ff A Trunk Story. -Several weeks ago Bennie Neal and Walter Waters, young men, went tc Asheville, carrying with them a small photographic outfit. It is said that a considerable portion of - the returns from their light labor went to Neal. At all events the young men took a room at the Hotel Pisgah. The room renl was not paid, it is said, end when the amount was demanded, Neal did not have it. In the stilly watches of th night he tied a rope about the trunk that oontained his earthly possessions and let it down from the seoond story window into the hands of a nighl watchman. Neal was arrested, but was discharged. The trunk was retained by the laudlady. Later the photographer gained admission to his former room, took h'.s camera fixtures from the old trunk and put them into a new one. The new trunk was sent to the depot and the men went to Newport, Tenn. Subsequently they telegraphed to the baggage master and asked him to send the trunk to their address. In the meantime officers had placed the prop erty in the sheriffs office. The Cotton Acreage. Upon reports from 2,483 correspond ents, Messrs. Latham, Alexander & Co. , of New York, estimated on June 2d, that the total decrease in cotton acreage in the United Slates for 1898 is per cent., or 1,333,000 acres less than last year, and the average plant ing of the crop is about the same as last year, when planting was late. The re duction in acreage has been brought about by the low prices of cotton, re luctance of commission merchants to make liberal advances to the planters as last year, in the face of war, and the increase in acreage in tobacco, wheat and corn, on account of the high pricss of these commsdities.

TWO MEN BURIED ALIVE. Ths!r Miraculous Esdarje Front ltoi rible Dftath in a Land Slide. A serious accident caaurrod in East street, Asli3Viile-, hich came Very near being a fatal one. Street Superinten dent J. F. Bostic, vrith a squad of hands, was engaged in laying a line of sewerage pipes along the streetcar track and had just compFeted the ditch which is eleven feet in depth, when a landslide from the top, estimated at from three to fonr tons fell on the work men beneath. Plumbers Gua Gerfcchard and Bud Patton' received th fall force of the avalanche. Patton was coni fjletely buried under the dirt to the depth of at least tw o feet over his head. Fortunately there was a small crevice in the bulit near the wall of the ditch which gave him a little air. Those who stood on the bank lost no time in tho work of extracting the unfortunate man, were least the whose smothered cries for help distinctly heard. It was at fifteen minutes before victim's head could be reached and the face protruded from the dirt. His right foot was wedged between -H'o large rocks, which' had fallen in with the dirt and it was fully a half an hour before he was brought out. He was badly bruised and suffer ing considerably. His injuries while painful are not very serious. Both men were in standing position when the elide came down upon them. Mr.Gers chard was pressed to the wall by tho heavy weight but was quickly rescued by Superintendent Bostic, who grasped his hand and pulled him to the top. Drs. ; Beynolds and Starnes were promptly on hand and after an exami nation ordered a litter upon which Gerschard was taken to his home oa Woodfin street, where he is now rest ing quietly. Patton was able to walk home. To "Scrap" With the Spaniards. Three fifteen-year-old adventurers, well known in Asheville and who have long desired & chance to do battle, started out by boat for Cuba by way of the French Broad river. They were all aware of the fact that to accomplish such a lengthy journey would require funds, so the young man whose mother was the possessor of $30 in ready cash seized upon the ehango and pocketed it. The party purchased a boat from parties near the depot and began their crafty journey down the liver, expect ing to make a short stay at Chicka mauga to pay their respects to the sol diers encamped there. Discouraged by their slow progress and by the chilly reception they received upon fall ing into the - stream, decided to pitch Camp at Gannon's Bridge about five miles below the eity. The little Judas, after the baptism, repented of his sins and tried to come home. The others heeded and home ward plod their weary way. Meantime a parent of one of the young insurgents had heard of their departure, and fear-' iug they should suffer the fate of two of a party of three, who, several years ago, were drowned in attempting to Cross the rupids between here and Alex andria, hurrid along the riysr, but found neither the boat nor the boys. A telegram from his wife 'announcing that the lost were found put. him in .his right mind. : .Lightning's Work. During the progress of a storm lightning struck the waste house of the Ada Manufacturing Company, at Charlotte, setting it on fire and de stroying it entirely. The prompt efforts of the employes saved the bulk of the contents. Mrs. J. W. Vaughn, of Atherton, had a norrow escape. Dur ing the storm lightning struck the house, entering at the top and running down tho walls in three rooms, tearing the window sash, and knocking plas tering some distance. Mrs.. Vaughn was iu the sitting room- reading. The room was struck, but was the least damaged of any of the three rooms. Mrs. Vaughn was badly stunned but not seriously hurt. Mr. H. B. Alex ander's wind-mill, at Groveton, was struck by lightning during the storm. Part of it was thrown twenty yards awav. Two Dangerous Criminals. Two dangerous criminals have been taken to Charlotte for safe keeping from Gaston county. They will be kept in Mecklenburg county jail until the time for their trial at the next term of tho Superior Court at Dallas. Both are in for the same crime, assault with intent to commit rape. Both are bad looking negroos. j Lodger Turns Thief, Luther Williams, a young white man, about IS or 20 jrears old, was arrested at Charlotte by Sergeant Jetton for stealing two rings from a Mr. Huntley, who boards at Mr. J. L. Wray's. Wil liams spent Wednesday night at Mr Wray's. He entered Mr. Huntley's room during the night aud stole the rings. He wrapped them up in a fan, which he carried in his hand. The ofiicer found them in the fan. Wil liams then confessed. The Adjutant and Gen. Lee. The Adjutant General in speaking about the mobilization of the negro im mune regiment at Charlotte, saidr "General Lee said I discouraged him from mobilizing them at Baleigh. I shoulder the responsibility. I am look ing out for the safety of both the reg iments. I did not fear ' the sensible soldiers of either race, but resolved to have no repetition of tho scenes ut Tampa, where irresponsible soldiers of both races met in deadly conflict.

Mr. Josiah Boyte, of Memphis, Tenn., recently visited his relatives Mrs. M. E. Rountree and Mr. H. C. Gibson, of Charlotte. He was accompanied by his granddaughter, Miss Mabel Sim mons. Mr. Boyte met his four broth ers there whom, he had not seen in fifty-three years. Their names and ages are as follows: William W.

Argument in the Stanly bond case has been concluded. Judgo Siroonton announced that his decision would not be rendered at this term, as he desired to study the question involved, in the ligjit of the authorities cited by the counsel of both sides. The judge said the case had been thoroughly and ably argued, and that his mind was not made up. William R.

"I have been on the road for more years than two-thirds of the world's people live," remarked the veteran drummer to a Washington reporter, "and I have seen a good many things, but not until this morning have I seen a chambermaid In a hotel who guessed what my accomplishments were by the room 1 had.

When I came out for breakfast i no ticed that a button was off my over coat, and as the maid was sweeping in the ball I told-her that I would pay her if she would get a .needle and thread for me and sew it on. ; "I think you can do that, sir, better than I can,' she responded with a knowing smile. - " 'Why; do I look like a tailor?' I in quired. " 'Not so good looking as one I know and she -blushed; 'but it wasn't that, sir, I was meaning.' " 'And what was it?' "It's this, sir.

When neuralgia is accompanied by a dull, heavy pain near the heart, frequently be coming intense, it generally terminates fatally. Mrs. Nancy Flynn, who lives near Goshen, Indiana, survived such an attack and her advice is worth heeding. 1 "In the fall of '92," she said, "I began to have trouble with my heart. ; There was a sharp pain in my breast which became rapidly worse. The doctor was puzzled and put me under the influence of opiates.. These sharp attacks followed one another at intervals and I became weak and had a haggard loolc. I was constantly in pain, seldom slept and had no appetite. "At the end of two years I was confined to my couch most of the time and the doc tors agreed that my death was only a mat ter of a short time. "One day I noticed in a newspaper an item about ,a woman hav 1 n g been cured of neuralgia of the heart by Dr. Will iams' Pink Pills for Pale People and 1 con eluded t o A Serious Time. try them. "When I had finishadone box I noticed an improvement in my condition, and when I had taken twelve boxes I was completely cured. 'Those pills have done for you what we could not do,' said one of my physicrans, 'they have saved your life.' "That was two years ago and my heart has not troubled me since. I believe I owe my life to Dr. Williams' Pink Tills for Pale Teople, and I take pleasure in telling oth ers about them." r Among the many forms of neuralgia are headache, nervousness, paralysis, apoplexy and locomotor ataxia. Some of these were considered incurable until , Dr. Williams' Tink Pills for Pal People were formu lated.

"Do government mules get seasick?'' This was the interesting and somewhat novel question propounded by Lieutenant-Colonel G. C. Smith, the head of the quartermaster's department, says the St. Louis Republic, upon the re ceipt of a telegraphic order fromAYash iugton to immediately ship 120 mules to San Francisco to go with the rein forcements to be sent to Rear Admiral Dewey. The trip across the Pa cific Ocean will take the mules nearly half-way around the world, the ocean voyage alone being 7,00i miles in a straight line from San Fran cisco. Though the Quartermaster's Department has been handling mules for many years, there was but one man in the place who could throw any light on the matter.
