An English Woman Fooled Into Coming to
America to Teach a Negro School.
Wade8boro Messenger-Intelligencer. '
Rev. A. M. Barretf,principal of Bar
rett High School, situated at Pee Dee,
this county, returned; last Friday night
from England, where he had been to beg
money for bis school. Accompanying
him was a young and handsome English
woman, whom he bad employed to teach
in his school. Barrett, it should be .un
derstood is a cold black negro and is Jtbe
same man who was exposed in these
oolums several years ago on account of a
little trip he made to--New York to pur
chase green goods. Dan. Robinson, a
welUto-do colored man ofMorven town
ship, accompanied him to New York and
,4ua dropped'. tH&csW.
into the lap of the sharpers.
JBut to return to the woman. A citi
zen of Wadesboro saw her on the train
Friday night (Barrett was also cm the
train) and in conversation with her she
told nim the following story: She said
that her home was in England and that
.Barrett employed her to come to Ameri
ca and teach in his school, which he
represented as being a mixed school
both white and blacks attending it. He
agreed to pay her for her services 859
per month. In accepting his offer she
said she did not dream of the relation
ship the two races bore to each other in
America, and especially in the South, and
did not discover her mistake until she
reached Raleigh, this State. There she says
she received a rude awakening, and im
mediately wrote to her parents an ac
count of the condition of affairs here,at the
samo time asking them to sendjier money
to pay her way back to England.
I he Wadesboro citizen advised her not
to leave the train at Pee Dee, which is
only a flag station, but to go on to some
town and ask the protection of the peo
ple. This she said she could not do be
cause Barrett bad the checks for her bag.
gage and what little money she had
1 he women, we learn, is now at Pee
Dee, with Barrett, and, ot course, is not
countenanced by the white people of the
neighborhood.
We have no means of knowing whether
ber story is a true one or not, but if it is
she is certainly entitled to protection at
the bands of the white people of the neigh
borhood. In any event, the conduct of
Barrett in bringing bor to this country is
deserving of the severest rebuke. Ha
claims to be a preacher and, notwith
standing the green goods episode ment
ioned above, we believe bis church still
recognizes him as such, and knows such a
thing can not be tolorated here.
THE FEAR DF THUNDER,
Safest Place During a Storm is in the
House, Where There is no Draught.
"Electric storms are far less dangerous
than the majority of people imagine."
writes Edward W. Bok in June Ladies
Home Journal. "That a severe light
ning storm is terrifying admits of no
question, and will sometimes bring un
easiness to the heart of the strongest man.
But the real danger is slight. The chances
of lightning striking a house for example
is not one in a million. Particularly
is tbU trua in cities, strung as most of
them are with electric wires. The great-
danger from electric storms is in the
country, and even there the danger may
be lessened if the simplest and most corns
mon-sen&e of precautions are exercised.
The surest electric conductor is draught,
and if, when a thunder storm-approaches,
it is seen that all windows and doors
liable to occasion a draught are kept
closed, the danger is at once reduced to a
minimum. If a woman is "caught" out
in a thunder-storm the safest shelter is a
house; the most dangerous a tree, parties
ularly an oak tree. It is a peculiar, but
nevertheless a proven, fact, that the oak
is the most susceptible ot all trees to a
current . of electricity. Over fifty
per cent, of trees struck by light
ning storms during one summer, the
Government statistictian tells us, where
oaks, while the beech tree was the least
harmed. Therefore, the worst possible
shelter in an electric storm is under an
oak tree while by all odds, the safest
place is in a house and out of a draught.
The actual danger (from an electric
storm) is, in truth, not from the lightning
nor the thunder but from the nervous
condition into which women allow them
selves to fall. And this is a danger which
they can avoid. A little calm thought
and a few grains of common-sense will
do it."

JACKSON & HAY WARD,

CfMMCIAl
The Old World's Old Folks.
Scientlflo American.
A German statistician has studied the
census returns of Europe to learn a few
things about the centenarians of the Old
World. He has found for instance, that
high civilization does not favor the great
est length of life. Tbe German empire,
with 55,000,000 population, has but 78
subjects who are more than 100 years
old. France, with fewer than 40,000,000,
has 213 persons who have passed their
their hundredth birthdays. England has
146; Ireland 578; Scotland, 46; Denmark,
2; Belgium, 5; Sweden, 10; and Norway,
with 2,000,000 inhabitants, 23. Switzer
land does not boast a single centenarian,
but Spain, with about 18,000,000 popula
tion, has 401.
Tbe most amazing figures found by the
German statiscian, says the New York
'turbltiTentre
Peninsula. Servia has 575 persons who
are more, than 100 years old; Roumania,
1,084; aud Bulgaria, 3,883. In other
words, Bulgaria has a centenarian to
every thousand inhabitants, and thus
holds the international record for old in
habitants. In 1892 alone there died in
Bulgaria 350 persons of more than 1 00
years, in the .Balkan Jreninsula, more
over, a person is not regarded as on the
verge of the grave the moment he be
eomes a centenarian. For instance, in
Servia, there were in 1890 some 290 per
sons Detween iud and 115 years, 123
between 115 and 125, and 18 between 126
and 135. Three were between 135 and 140.
Who is the oldest person in the world?
Tbe German statistician does not credit
the recent story about a Russian 160 years
old. -Russia has no census, be says, and
except in cases of special official investi
gation the figures of ages in Russia must
be mistrusted. Tbe oldest man in tbe
world then in his opinion, is Bruno Cos
trim, a negro born in Africa and now a
resident in Rio Janeiro. Cotrim is 150
years old. Next to him comes probably
a retired Moscow cabman, named Kus
trim, who is in his 140th year Tbe
statistician says the oldest woman in the
world is 130 years old, but neglects to
give ber name or address, possibly out of
courtesy, or perhaps in view of the ex
traordinary figures which came to his
hand from the Balkans, he thought a
subject only 130 years old was hardly
worthy of particular mention.

I'M THE MAM WHO SHOT YOU."
Vettrans Meet Thirty Years Afterward
and Identify Themselves.
From the Chicago Times Herald.
J. H. Wyman,of Chicago.went to New
port News recently, and while waitine
for a ferry-boat a stranger, a man about
Wy man's age, came up and shared his
seai. xney were waiting lor tne same
boat.
"You were in the Union army," said
the stranger, glancing at tbe button
on Wy man's lapel. "Where did you
serve?"
"I was in the first Wisconsin Heavy
Artillery and put in a good share of the
time guarding the big bridge over the
Green River in Kentucky," answered the
Northerner.
"You did I I twice helped to blow up
that bridge, and was there when the third
attempt, which you fellows stopped, was
made, it was a black night in the win
ter when we went up the third time.
There were only a few of us, but enough
to do the work if it were done quickly,
and we could pass through the Federal
pickets. We reached a point 1,000 yards
south of where we thought your picket
line was, and 1 was sent forward alone to
locate the line and find some place
through which we could pass. I walked
along freely until I thought I ought to
take some care, and then I drooped on
my hands and knees and went that way
tor a while. It was so dark 1 could see
absolutely nothing. All at once 1 struck
a dry bush and snapped a stick under
my knee at the same time. Then a rifle
shot came from a picket at a point not
twenty yards away and my right arm
was broken by the ball. The fellow bad
fired at the noise and made a good shot.
It alarmed the guard, and our third at.
tempt to blow up the bridgo was a failure.
Were you there then?"
"Yes," said Wyman, "I am the man
who shot you. I never saw you,
but I heard the moving of the bush and
the breaking of the twig. After I shot
you walked straight to tbe right for
about ten yards and then ran back for
your command."
"That 1 did exactly," said thelSoutb
erner. "We found your tracks in the sand the
next day. 1 did not know I hit you. 1
am glad I did not kill you, and I'm
mighty glad to see you.
Then they 'shook hands and took up
the journey together.

CONCLUDID ON IICOND PAGE
The President Vetoes the River and
bor Bill.
Har-
It requires the exercise of rare self con
fidence on the part ol President Cleve
land to oppose bis will to that of the Uni
ted States Congress; yet that is what he
said in veoting the River and HarberBill;
and when the last has been said about it
the conclusion will perhaps be pretty gen
eral that how meritorious features of the
bill were the whole affair f smacks rather
decidedly. If bait designed to bring in sub
stantial returns in the way of political
patronage. As has been suggested, if a
Congressman's district call for an ap
propriation to deepen a river which, if
deepened, would be of no advantage
whatever to commerce, he will most
probably insist on an appropriation for
the river. Although the bill is now a law ,
we give below the President's objections
to the measure.
There are.417 items of appropriation -contained
in this bill, and every part of
tbe country is represented in tbe distri
bution of its favors. It directly , apprr--priates
or provides for the immediate ex
penditure of nearly $l4,OO0iOOO for river
and harbor work. This sum fa in addl "
tion to appropriations contained in an '
other bill for similar purposes amounting -to
a little more than $3,000,000, which
have already been favorably considered
at the present session of Congress. Tbe
result is that the contemplated immediate
expenditures for tbe objects mentioned
amount to about $17,000,000. A more '
startling feature of this bill is its authori
zation of contracts for river and harbor
work amounting to more than $52,000,- '
000. If, therefore, this bill becomes a
law, the obligations wbioh will be impos
ed on the Government, together with the
appropriations made for immediate ex
Eenditure on account of rivers and har -ors,
will amount to about $80,000,000.
Nor is this all. Tbe bill directs numer
ous surveys and examinations, which
contemplate new work and further con
tracts, and .which portend largely in
creased expenditures and obligations.
Many of the objects for which it appro
priates public money are not related to
the public welfare, and many of them art
palpably for the benefit of limited locali
ties or in aid of individual interests. I
learn from official sources that there are
appropriations contained in the bill to
pay for work wbioh private parties have
actually agreed with the Government to
do, in consideration of their occupancy of
public property.
The public Treasury will be confronted
with other appropriations, made at the -present
session of Congress, amounting
to more than $500,000,000. Individual
economy and careful expendature are
sterling virtues, which lead to thrift and
comfort. Economy and the exaction of
clear justification for the appropriation
of publio moneys by the servants of the
people are not only virtues, but solemn
obligations. To the extent that the ap
propriations contained in this bill are in-
stigated by private interests, and pro
mote local or individual projects, their
allowance cannot fail to stimulate a vic
ious paternalism and encourage a senti
ment among our people already too priv
alent that their attaebmet to our govern
ment may properly, rest upon tbe hope
and expectation of direct and especial
favors, and that the extent to wbioh they
are realized may furnish an estimate of
the value of Govenmental care. I be
lieve no greater danger confronts us as a
Nation than the unhappy decadence
among our prople of genuine and trust
worthy love and affection for our gov
ernment, ns the embodiment of the high
est and best aspirations of humanity, and
not as the giver of gifts, and because its
mission is the enforcement of exact jus
tice and equality, and not the allowance
of nnlair favoriteism. 1 hope I may be
permited to suggest at a time when tbe
issue of Government bonds to maintain
tbe credit and financial stansing of the
country is a subject of criticism that the
controcts provided for in this bill would
create obligations of tbe United States
amounting to $62,000,000, no lass binding
than its bonds for that sum.
