facts obtained from neighbors It peemt
that pn Saturday, the isthr lnst, Mr.
Bather was at uis farm, two mile from
Mt. Pleasant and started for that town
in company with a neighbor,Mr. James

of Snther until the next morning, when

stated that Sutbar fell from his mule
and .received the hurt off his head.

considerably exercised over the ease,
and are talking of having a coroner's
Jury to disinter the remains and hold
an inquest. The suspicion of foul play
is yery strong, and there appears to be
a conviction thatr Bather's death was
caused from a blow given by some
blunt instrument, , Suthar'a : state

from his mule is regarded by his neigh

ceived,' that the Soldler9r Tlome Is soon

Edgecombe proposed that 'the liberal
hearted people' of the Old North State
should endow, a home -' for the disabled
ex-Confederate soldiers In this State,
and offered to be (foe of 600 to give 0100
each, i The prppositlofl j had scarcely
appeared in print when it began to bear
frultt First one man and then another
spoke up' sll. within a few days ot each
qther and we now have a fund ef 61,100
to start' withes Below we print the list
of donors, those marked with a , being
contributors to the JotjenaiObsekt-
jes's f uud, the others to Uie .Kews and
Obaerver; Tha latter paper has had
the start of us, but we expect to catch
up id a little wikQe and beat its present
list risbt here in Cnarlottev The list
will be-printed from time to time as
new names' are add edA tfe will b gl4
to have the "names of all who wish to

Every year aees some new and re
markable railroad, invention : brought
oat and the latest is what is called the
automatic electric signal system, which
we understand, the officials of the Wes
tern North, Carolina .railroad propose
establishing along the line of that road,
now that it has become a great and im
portant through line of passenger travel
and freight traffic to ; the west. - It is
their intention to make this road sssafe
and perfect as possible and to that end
they intend to equip it with the best ap
pliances of modern inventive ingenui
ty, xn tne new automauo signal - sys
tem, the electric current with which the
test is being made by the in ventOr In
Pennsylvania, is supplied by an 'ordin
ary battery ef oae hundred cells, and is
sufficiently strong to : enable ( experi
ments to be made for several miles.
The signal blocks of the new system are
arranged at intervals of one mile, but
where there is a likelihood of accidents
from landslides they can " be placed
closer. jThey are connected by , wires,
end any danger to an approaching train
from s land-slide, an open draw-bridge
or an open switch is immediately com
municated to the engineer by the auto
matic signal on either side of the dan
gerous spot. . No two trains can come
within a mile of each other without the
displaying "of the signals both ahead
and In the rear of each train. When a
train hi switching off the main track to
a siding; the Instant the switch is open
ed danger signals are shown Any an
perisg with the signals is also Indicat-
sdU Should an engineer attempt to pass
the danger signals a portion of the au
tomatic apparitus, which is attached to
the engine; closes the throttle, blows
the whistle and puts on the air-brakes.
