A rather unique and startling state of aflairs was revealed in a case in court in Mitchell county, N., C, recently. Some parties were arraigned on a charge of fornication and adultery, and it turned out that while in a sense they may have been guilty, in another thev were innocent. The evidence showed that merely the trading liberty of the mountains had been exercised, and that the parties involved had considered it a matter of no consequence to the public. Thomas Lowe, who . , . .i Was OllC OI tllC lawyers 111 the case, related the story to a l?ris- tol gentleman, stating that it was true as the plain evidence of the parties involved could make it. It appeared from the evidence that one mountaineer had of his own free will swapped his wife and seven children to a neighbor man of the mountains for his wife, a musket and a mooly bull The parties to the deal were per fectly sincere iu what they did, and entered upon life in a new relation without a thought of violating any law. 1 lie man with the other fellow's wife and the musket and the bull as his own was happy because he felt that in the transaction his con dition had been bettered, while the man with the wife and child ren to spare felt ditto and no lack of company.

SAVED BY RESISTENCE- The fiend Recognized and lodged In Jail Last Sunday Greensboro, N. C, was profoundly stir red by an attempted assault by a brutal negro upon a highly respectable wdiite young lady, whose parents live near the Southern Finishing mill. As she was returning from church about noon, a negro, named Luke Richardson, stepped out ct the bushes and come up be hind her. She stepped aside to let him pass, but instead of do ing so he caught hold of her and attempted to stifffe her by chok ing her. By study resistance and loud outcries she succeeded in frightening him off. It occurred on North Kim street, within 200 yards of H.W. Wharton's resi dence. As soon as it became known the woods were full of men hunts ing for the black fiend, and if they had taken him his exit from this world would have been speedy. The young lady des cribed the negro so accurately that the police fouud him in the celebrated "Meadow" within a few hours after the occurrence. The police fearing he would be lynched, if taken out to Mr. Syfert's, sent for her and her father, Mr. Syfert. She at once pointed out her assailant among a number of other negroes of similar appearance present. He is in jail. Threats of lynching are heard on every side, but the authorities will make every effort to prevent it. Richardson is a hard case and was recently released from the county roads. L a T R r : Luke Richardson , the negro who attempted to make an assault upon Miss Scifert, in Greensboro, Sunday afternoon, was taken to Winston for safekeeping. There was some talk of lynching in Greens boro and the sheriff deemed it advisable to take hint away. Richardson is about 40 years old and has a wife. He is of medium size. He denies the charge against him, but at the trial be fore the Mayor in Greensboro he failed to prove where he was when the attempted assault was made. Miss Seifert, who is 18 years old and quite pretty, is confident that Richardson is the guilty party. Two persons lost their lives in Chicago in one day from jumping into the water to take a swim while overheated. Cold water, either internally or exter nally is dangerous under such circumstances. Do YouUse It? It's the best thing for the hair under all circumstances. Just as no man by taking thought can add an inch to his stature, so no pfcparation -can make hair. The utmost that can be done is to pro mote" conditions favorable to growth. This is done by Ayer's Hair Vigor. It re moves dandruff, cleanses the scalp, nourishes the soil in which the hair grows, and, just as a desert will blossom under rain, so bald heads grow hair, when the roots are nour ished. But the roots must be there. If you wish your hair to retain its normal color, or if you wish to restore the lost tint of gray or faded hair use Ayer's Hair Vigor. The Beginnings of Evil. Efforts hvac been made to devide humanity irto two class es and to set apart criminals in a class by themselves. This is well enough for some purposes of study and corrective treat ment, but convenience ot classi fication should not mislead any one into the idea that the crim-. inal is necessarily a criminal by his physical, mental or moral constitution or mat tliose who do not naturally belong to the so-called criminal class mav not drift into it. Heredity doubtless plays its part in inclining men to vice as well as to virture, but association with criminals is a greater fdctor in determining the career of a young man. Proofs of the strong effects of criminal heredity and criminal assocations aie abundant, for there are fam ilies wiiose members are devot ed to certain learned professions. But there are also abundant proofs that criminal heredity is a small fa v tor when not combin ed with criminal associations. A contrary impression, where it exists, can generally be traced to the influence of novelists, who, vrith a poetic fancy com mon to all ages ot men, repress ent. that the influence of birth or parentage overcomes all teach ings and associations, so that the born nobleman remains noble though brought up in squalor and ignorance, and the pauper changeling reveals his low origin though clothed in purple. Novelists are not scient ists, but poets, and their rep- resentations of the influence of heredity should not be accepted as true without sustaining proof afforded by real czaracters in stead of the creatures of their imagination. As a matter of fact it is difficult to isolate the in fluences determining character that the question as to the in fluence of heredity alone is still an open one, with the certainty, however, that it is not a con trolling influence. A very large number of crim inals coming from good parent age drift into crime almost un consciously through idleness, bad.-..- associations, inordinate gred and lack of moral force. Criminals themselves may be divided into classes. There are the brutal criminals, whose crimes are directed against per sons; the sneaking thieves, who not courage enough to rob openly and the confidence men, swind lers and embezzlers, who would not rob at all except by indirect means. It is the latter class of criminals that is recruited from the ranks of idle young men of good parentage. They do less intention, of becoming criminals but 'they are led into wrong courses by bad associates, or something by their business superiors, and finding themselves involved have not the moral courage to break away from the beginnings of evil. Clerks in banks and similar institutions are sometimes caught in the toils in this way. Their superior officer directs them to make a false entry which they know to be wrong, and they weakly obey, without, however, understanding the full purpose and meaning of the transaction. After a while they find that they have been used as tools to falsify accounts, and, instead of break ing away at once from evil courses, they attempt by other false enterics to cover up the original wrong. When exposure comes, as it must some day, the explanation they offer is not sufficient to acquit them, and, with broken reputations, they drift into the criminal class. They might and should be object of pity if the world could be ! made to fully understand the manner of their temptation and fall, but they could not them selves explain it, so insidious is the poison of evil once admitted to the system. The only safe plan is to resist the beginnings of evil. If a wrong step has been taken, or one that appears to be wrong it should be retraced at once, even ' at the expense of a humiliating jcoufession. Dalliance with j wrong is always dangerous, nor lean any one find security in the j idea that the world is divided j into fixed classes of any kind. ; The criminal class is certainly ! recruited day by day and year ; by year, and some of the recruits 1 come from that other so-called ! class who, by heredity and asso i ciation should remain upright ;and honest.

A wild night and a terrible scene was that enacted at the home of AHna Simpson, on Fri day night. It seems tint Miss Simpson, who is a young girl employed at the Klermont Knitting Mills, in this city, arose during the night and wanting a drink of water, went down stairs to get one. In the darkness, the girl accidently stepped upon the house cat, which became en raged, and siezed the girl by the ankle, sinking its teeth deep into the flesh. The girl's screams aroused her mother who came to the rescue, and attempted to pry the cat's mouth open so as to release the girl from the animal's teeth. This proved impossible, and it was only after the mother had secured a stone and beaten the cat's head so that it was killed, that the girl was released. Dr. R S. Primrose was sent for and rendered all assistance possible in the girl's case. Saturday it was determined that Miss Simpson ought to be sent to Pasteur Institute, New York, for treatment, and a purse was made up here to meet all ex penses. Monday morning the girl will start for New York city, and her case will receive the most care ful and thorough treatment. The spinal cord of the cat has been secured, and it will be sent to New York for examination, to see what was the condition of the animal at the time it attacks ed the girl. New Berne Journal LAWYERS STAND BY LYNCII LAW. Noted Members of Georgia's Bar Think it a Necessity. At the meeting of the Geor gia Par Association, recently held at Warm Springs, da., with Chief Justice Baldwin, of Con necticut, an interested listener, a sharp debate sprang up, in which five of the leading lawyers of the State declared the necessity for lynch law. In an impassioned speech Hal T. Lewis, who placed Mr. Bryan's name before the Chicago ' convention, declared: "The criminal is lynched because his victim should not be subjected to the further humiliation of de tailing a crime which she can hardly whisper to her husband or breathe to her parents. He is lynched because of the convic tion in the public mind that this is the most effectual way of pres venting a repetition of tlie of fence. To attempt a correction of such sentiments by statutes would prove as futile as any ef fort to overcome the fury of the cyclone or prevent the lightning flashes from the storm cloud." h. W. Thomas pictured the fanner returning from his day's work to find his home despoiled. "Lynching of the wretch fol lows, and," said he "we must ad mit under our new civilization we are faced with a condition and not a theory." , Burton, Smith, brother of the ex-Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith, said : "The Anglo-Saxon has always protected women without the aid of law courts, and as long as Anglo Saxon blood flows in Am erican veins, whether in Georgia or Massachusetts, Alabama or Ohio, assailants of women will find a short, swift- and ready rope." N. J. Hammond, formerly member of Congress from Geor. gia, denounced the effort to "convert the Bar Association into a mob." Do-'ivliac fur f ifty Cent.
