Luteal Intelligence From The
Old and New Wrld Tlu Plate
A Royal Christening;.
London, lone 80. The Times today
referring to the fact that sixty delegates
from the tin plate working districts of
Wales, are going to the United States in
order to inquire into the prospect ol prof
itable employment there, and to tint
statement made thnt American agents in
London are buying the latest improve
ments in tin plate machines, as well as
ollcring double wages to tin plate work
ers, in vs:
"Should the delegates report favorably
upon the prospects lor tin plate workers
in the United States, it is not unlikely
that there will he so large an exodus to
America as to lead to a great portion of
the trade hiterto monopolized by Wales
being transferred to America. Hitherto
the idea has been that it was impossible
to manufacture tin plates iu America,
owing to atmospheric condition, but tin
plate makers who accompunie-l the iron
aad steel institute-eUcfcates -to America
reported that there was nothing except
the want of skilled labor to prevent the
successful manufnctirers of tin plate in
America."

Durham, N. C, June 27. Much
interest has centered today in a large
sale of real estate made by one of our
largest proierty holders. A. M. Rigs
bce was dissatisfied with the values put
upon his property by the tax assessors,
and when be ascertained thnt (lie whole
amount in the corporate limits would
reach SKKl.tNHI remarked to them that
if any one would give him ten per cent,
under those fibres he would Mil every
loot of land and every house he owned in
Durham.
He was not long in finding a custo
mer. As soon as his offer reached the
cars of It. L. Duke be at once accepted
the terms and the trade has been made.
The papers are being arranged by a
lawyer. Mr. Kigtbcc, it is said, received
$N,KHI in rent from his houses.
His friends think he has obtained a
good price for the property, which con
sists in nine acres of oen unimproved
land, several brick stores on' Mum and
Manuuin streets, and about hltv dwell

Proas Bill Nvt'a letter.
Allow me to digress for a moment
while I speak of the wagon road of
North Carolina. The system, has been a
bad one for some years, especially in the
western part of the state. For that rea
son the roads have been practically im
passible a good deal of the year. The
Asbeville and Hendersonville road, for
Instance, is kept now in the same repair
that the road is from Zanzibar to Lake
Victoria Nyanxa. It was formerly a toll
road, and thought the tolls were used
mostly for personal expenses by the
owners of the road, the bill was always
made oat for those who desired to ride
over the route. I speak thus plainly of
those roads hoping that it may result in
great good to those who live thereon.
At present the road above referred to
is simply an ill kempt trail, along which
are strewn the wrecks of busted vehicles
and the boaes of people whose necks have
been dislocated in trying to ride over
them, and who have been left alone to
die. Though a public road of great Im
portance, very lew people drive over tt
unless arider trie influence of liquor.
There are places on this road where
mountain springs soak up through the
roadbed, and have done so for centuries,
while the roadmaster has been waiting
for them to dry oat. The result is that a
stoneboat is the only vehicle which will
safely make the trip. Hitch a 2-year-old
lit Her with a claybank mule, and then on
the lead put a lavender jackass, and il
you are a careful driver you may take
your children to Ashevillc, but if not you
will surely be short two or three on the
way home. Lots of North Carolina fam
ilies have only eleven or fawelye children
left out of a rossible twenty, owing to
the condition ol the roads. 1 his reckless
tutlny of children, it seems to me, il
nothing else, should teach us to improve
our roads.
Asbeville has made an appropriation
recently of $620,000, most alt of which
wdlgo for the improvement of her streets.
This is better than a like amount laid out
in fence-board advertising. Now let the
issue in the county be "bully roads for
tluncombe county," and let the party
who opposes the improvement correct
tire bad grammar aad poor punctuation
in its dying speech, and do it soon, too.
I was saying the other day that after
a pretty general knnwledire ol Nortn
Carolina for five or six years I was as
tonished to notice that there had been
no burglaries within my observation.
This is remarkable, especially to me, lor
I have lived where a burglary was not
uncommon, and where I have suffered
myself, having lost a silver-plate butter
dish in that way eight years ago, also
what butter we had in the bouse at that
time, it being concealed in the butter
dish. I also shot a burglar, eleven years
ago, who was breaking into my resi
dence, but he bad only 60 cents on bis
person at the time, and even that the
coroner took awuy from me on the fol
lowing dny. The burglar has it all his
own way at the North, but here in North
Carolina, where the mosquito never lives
and the politician never dies, burglary is
a capital orrense. All burglars over four
teen years of age are executed. This
tends to turn the attention of bright
young burglars toward politics.
STRUCK EVANGELIST FIFE.
DEPLORABLE ENCOUNTER AT
UREENIRORO,
The Evangelist Bore Down Heav
ily on a Young People's Dance
and It Was Resenied-Reaolu.
Hons Passed In the Matter.
Gibbnsroro, N. C, June 27. In the
last twenty-four hours Greensboro hi s
experienced probably the most exciting
episode in her history. Evangelist Fife
has been conducting a meeting here for
the past week. A4ew days ago he made
some rather severe strictures upon a party
of two or three dozen young people, who
went out to the battle ground, und hud
a dance at the pavilion. Judge Schcnck
and some others took offence at what be
said. One or two of Judge Schenck's sons
and probably some others called at Mr.
Fife's room at the McAdoo house, and
tried to get him to retract. This he re
fused to do. Last night just about the
close of the meeting at the tent, Mr. File
was notified that an attack would be
made on him. He stated the news to his
audience, dismissed the crowd aad went
to his hotel, accompanied by wile and
friends. Just in front of the McAdoo
house he was stopped by Judge Schcnck,
and a few words were passed and a melee
began. Schcnck probably struck Fife. Il
issaid that Dr. K. D. Schcnck, the Judge's
son, rushed up and gave File one blow
wun a stick, and in attempting to deliver
another, struck his own father. It is
also stated that Dave Schenck attempted
to shoot Fife, but a bystander struck the
pistol aside, and no one was bit, though
the shot was fired ; friends interferred.
and the difficulty was quelled.
At 0 o'clock this morning the court
house bell was rung and a mass meeting
was held of both men and women. Mr.
T. C. Worth presided. A committee ol
five citizens was selected to draft resolu
tions expressive of the indignation of the
community. The names of the commit
tee are: Judge John A. Gilmer, J. A.
Udell, J. K. Mendenhall, Wm. Love and
I . C. W orth.
Warrants had been issued for the ar
rest of Judge Schenck and his sons, and
they were cited to trial before the mavoi
at 2:30 this afternoon. The case was
called, but was laid over till next Monday.
At 4:30 this afternoon a crowd aeuiu
packed the court house to hear and act
on the resolutions by the committee.
They were read by Judge Gilmer, who
satu it was tne saddest duty ol his hie,
and he was deeply agitated. In strong
language the seal of condemnation wus
put upon the attack made upon Mr. File-
as unjust and unlawful, regardless of
provocation. There were only two reso
lutions, and they were passed ununt-
mousiy. ine occurrence is deeply de
plored by the entire community, and the
strain has been a distressing one. Today
Mr. Fife preached at 11 a. m., on the
subtest of "Christian Forgiveness." A big
scar snows on bis head, wbicb could be
seen across the tent. Raleigh News and
