SPITTING FIRE.
The Mtcklenlmrg Times, the
Charlotte Democrat and the Chroni
cle are getting ugly very ngly. The
first two had their say, individually
an 1 through correspondents, now the
Chronicle calls Jerome Dowd a "per
sistent and methodical stirer-up of
b.ul feeling," "a breeder of agrarian
dissatisfaction," and many things
tint would lead an outsider to think
Dowd a terriably sorry and mean
ni:m; and about Dr. Strong, the
Ch roiiick calls him aged and infirm
s;inl accuses him of publishing what
ho knew to be fake, and' the Chroni
eVs description of Rro. Strong
would lead some to be'.ievo that he
vas so old and weak (bodily and
luridly) that lie had to be carried
to :md from Ins office on a litter.
Its a triangular fire-spitting, the
Charlotte News not having any di
rect stock in it. It's too bad these
J"i:i:i!y juarrls. We suggest that
I !;!; is call these mad quill
l:iver.s together and read to them
the "Sermon on the Mount." Now's
your time, Wade, to immortalize
yourself as a peace-maker.
ALMOST AS VIRTUOUS
Mr. S. D. Brown, one of the rev
enue officer converts at the Fife
meetings at Gastonia, has give up
bis office to his son. Dallas Eagle.
This is almost as urtuous as the
action of the man who, finding out
that it was wrong to own bank stock,
sold it to his s;sf?r. Statesville
Landmark.
This is a thrust at S. B. Alexan
der, lias a man not the right to
sell to his sister as well as to any
other person?

Editor Ciikoxicle: I read a

The Farmer's Alliance is an or

it is composed of farmers who ex

CONTEST IN CHARLOTTE.
ALL OF THE
NEWSPAPERS IN THE
ROW.
The MRy or ninl Altlrrnien Come Down
on T!i w. The Sewn' !
I'cnHe. The Klliinlloii.
Things are humming in Charlotte.
Phe town fathers and t ho newspa
pers are eclipseing the interest and
excitement of political matters in
the big family row that they picked
, , r i 1 ..C
up. It s limny 10 us t areuui oi
reach of their gunshots.
Some time ago a proposition was
made to publish the tax returns
four times in the Charlotte Chroni
cle; the Mecklenburg Times' publi
cation of what it supposed to be the
condition of the city's finances; the
publication of anonymous commu
nications in both the Times ami
Democrat these seem to be the
sparks that have developed into
flames of bad blood, ugliness and
general mud slinging.
The aldermen in their meeting
Monday night, came down on the
Charlotte News. That paper, in its
defense Tuesday, was mild and to
the point. The News is guilty of
nothing but publishing what it
thought to be news.
The light, at best now, is nothing
short of a personal matter. A stran
ger can see that.
Charlotte has been boomed lately:
Sam Jones caught a good many, but
missed the right ones; the 20th of
May advertised the town and did it
good; and the Music Festival capped
the climax. The present row, how
ever, will counteract the good done,
divide the people into factions and
give Charlotte an ugly reputation.
About the only thing that will
settle the matter now is a regular
old fashioned "fist and skull light'
A Truth-Telling Trio.
One of our reporters saw an inter-
estinsr croup in trout ot one ot the
stores this morning. What they
told must have been so for they
spoke very earnestly. Une earn as
he "came to town he saw one snake
allowing: the other. The snake
beinij swallowed turned on its would
be-swallower and be"au swallowing
it also; then his hat blew off and
when he looked again for the snakes
there was nothing left, both having
swallowed each other. The second
said he "went fishing yesterday,
caught a sack full, tied them to a
willow tree in the branch so they
could live, and when he went back
for them another fish had climbed
up the tree, and gnawed the string
off, and turned his fish out." The
third listened to their story with
calm complacency, and then drawing
himself up, yarn-telling-like, he said:
: "Well, boys, I don't say it because
it is my horse, but old Charlie can
beat anything running I ever saw.
This morning I was after some cows
and run them around the ham.
Charlie carried me so fast that, real
ly, friends, it seemed to me that I
would run over him, for I could see
him and myself just in front of me
all the time."
Dropped I)rnu.
Mr. George Thomason, while fish
ing yesterday on Grant's creek, near
Salisbury, dropped dead in the water.
He had been seining all day and
was in the best of his spirits. At
the time of his death he was stand
ing on a log, spanning the creek. He
was called by the crowd to come over
to the other side and drop the sein.
He announced "Boys, its no use to
sein there." These were his last
words on earth, for the next instant
he threw up hi3 hands and fell a
lifeless body into the muddy waters
of the creek. His body was carried
to his home at Franklin Ihe same
evening. The deceased was a rising
merchant of the firm of McCulloch
& Thomason. We have heard that
his father died in the same manner.

The farmers are done "laying by"
and threshing wheat is now the or
der of the day.
Mr. Rarger, u big wheat farmer,
say his crop is a failure this year.
A singing school is being made up
of which Mr. J. X. Sifford will have
the management. We hope he will
be successful in getting it, for
there is some fine musical talent here
which, with a little cultivation, will
be an honor to the community. He
will teach near the church.
Apples are ripening, blackberries

Lumberton Robersoiiian: The
Presbyterian church of Red Springs
was organized last June with sixteen
members. It now has sixty mem.
bers. In addition its house of wor
ship has been greatly improved in
appearance and convenience. On
Monday a severe and startling elec
trical storm passed over Laurin
burg about 3 o'clock in the after
noon. It was usually terriftic. The
Baptist church was struck and igni
ted and consumed. Fortunately the
pews, the organ and some other fur
niture were gotten out and Kuved.
But more fortunately still the build
ing was insured for one thousand
dollars.
Crowell-9llneuhelmrj
Xew Gilcad Reformed h,
four mile8 from Concord, was uv ti
ed Wednesday at 12:30 by ladies and
gentlemen from Concord, Mt. Pleas
ant, Charlotte and elsewhere, who
had assembled to witness the mar
riage ceremony of Mr. Giles T.
Crowcll, a native of this county, now
a resident of Argentine Republic, S.
A., and Miss Mollie A. Misenheimer,
the only daughter of the late Joseph
F. Misenheimer of this county.
The couple, preceeded by relatives
aud near friends, entered the church
and tok their position just in front
of the chancel, when t he solemn,
beautiful and impressive marriage
ceremony was performed by Rev.
Paul IJarringr, the brides's pastor.
The solemnity and beauty of the
ceremony were nnde more impressive
by the use of the engagement and
wedding ring. After the conclusion
of the ceremony, the bridal couple
and relatives repaired to their car
riage where congratulations were of
fered. The large number, who ex
tended congratulations to the happy
couple, attests the high esteem and
love in which the bride and groom
are held.
The bridal couple were then driv
en, followed by fifty or more muted
friends, to the home of the bride's
mother, Mrs. J. F. Misenheimer.
Here all were most delightfully en
tertained, every one being made to
feel and enjoy the pleasures afforded
at this most splendid country home.
Mr. Crowell's home, as has been
stated in these columns before, is in
South America, being the superin tendent
of a large flouring mill. It
was the purpose of the bridal party
to leave on the evening train for
Xew York, from which point they
sail. But a telegram received an
nounced the fact that the sailing of
the vessel had been postponed until
the 2Cth of this month. Xext Mon
day evening Mr. and Mrs. Crow ell
will leave for Xew York, from which
point they sail on their long watery
journey to Argentine Republic. Mr.
Crowell has a three year's
contract with the lrtVprietors
of the large llonring plant
and when that is completed
we hope to have Mr. and Mrs. Crow
ell to return to their native home.
This match is a happy one; and the
jurney it requires, the separations it
involves and the long absence from
native home it means, show the de
gree of true love ami perfect devo
tion on the part of both.
Hundreds of people in this county
join us in wishing for Mr. and Mrs.
Crowell a safe journey to South
America, a pleasant aud happy stay
there, safe return home and a long,
happy and prosperous life together.
