Nothing more was thought of the matter until Friday, the 11th ii.st., when Sharp was at old man Dedtnund's house, where Smith wa3 then staying. Sharj was sitting on the porch when Smith came up and commenced abusing him. Sharp begged him to go away and let him alone as he did not want to have any difficulty.

Charlotte Chronicle. What n ItlfK""l" Did. Dr. Archey was called Sunday night about 10 o'clock to o to the Phoenix Mine. It was to consult with Dr. 1. J. A. Haines in regard to the case of a colored girl, aged 22 years, who had been to church in the morning. While there she be came excited and acted like she "had fits." When the doctor reached her he observed a white string, in diameter about the size of a knitting needle, attached to her garment and extending into her mouth. The physician pulled this string, and this he kept up until 17 yards of yarn had been pulled out of her mouth. To the end of this string was a silver coin. All this was done, they said, to keep the woman from biting her tongue. A careful diagnosis of her case disclosed the fact that she had the "Hysterics" an awful and serious disease so prevalent in some sections. The girl is now well, and it required no medicine a hot iron judiciously applied generally effects a cure. nn HE A lirutlNli Attempt. Considerable excitement prevailed in Salisbury yesterday morning over the report that two young ladies iu Gold Hill township had been assaul ted and raped by negro railroad hands Monday evening. For Eome time nothing definite could be learn ed concerning the matttr. By makinir close inmiirv a Herald re- porter learned the following: No rape was committed ujxm young ladies, but an attempt was made upon a little girl. On Monday even ing a little daughter of Esq. John Miller, aged about 11 years, accom panied by a younger brother, was returning home from school. A young negro man, one of the numer ous railroad hands, met fthem and asked the little boy to get him some water from a house close by. When the boy left the negro caught hold of the little girl, drew a pistol and threatened to kill her if she attempt ed to escape or make an outcry. The little brother returned before the negro accomplished his hellish pur pose, and becoming suspicious, that something wrong was going on, he called to a young white man, who was working in a field near by to come to their assistance. When the white man came up the negro took to the woods and made his escape. A party was formed to find the mis creant, and a negro was soon arrest ed; but proving an alibi was releas ed. Two other negroes were arres ted yesterday, one of whom was iden tified by the girl, and the other by the boy as being the person who committed the assault. Other strong circumstantial evidence was obtain ed against one of the negroes, and a trial before a magistrate was to jiave been held yesterday evening. We have not learned the result of the trial. We sincerely trust the fiend will be found and that he will be justly and speedily punished. Sal isbury Herald. The Lottery TrlHniuaut. of the Judiciary Committee, declar- ing that tha action of the Governor in vetoing the bill, with amend ments submitting the lottery propo sition to the jeople, was unconstitu tional and arbitrary. It was adopted by 23 yeas to 12 nays, and by the same vote, the message as re ceived from the House was returned to the House. In the House the action of the Senate was sustained by a motion being adopted to reconsider the vote by which the veto message passed the House, and the bill, with the veto of the Governor attached, was ordered to be retnrned to His Excel lency by the Clerk of the House, which was done. The action of the Senate and House forced the question into the courts, which are to decide whether or not an amendment to be sub mitted to the people by a two thirds vote of the House has to be sent to the Governor. PlirnomliiHl Fecundity, or a Moan nientul I.inr. Steel township asserts a title to a woman who at the age of thirty has borne, at single births, sixteen chil dren to one husband, all of who are living, lusty sjK?cimens of humani ty, while the old pair are left in an uabattered and hopeful condition.

Watchman. Wife nntl lluxbniid Dying. Chicago, July 10. Win. J. Rit tamel, a wealthy contractor living at No. 592 North Island Avenue, shot his wife, and was in turn shot by his son, at their home last night. The elder Rittamel, who was un doubtedly insane, after a few angry words with his wife, suddenly shot her through the head. She ran in to another room, but wa3 pursued by the "husband, who beat her over the head with his revolver. This was more than the young man could stand, and he shot his father through the breast. Both parents were taken to the hospital, where they are dying. Ilev. Thomas DUou. Rev. J. D. Tew ton, pastor of the baptist church, iuforms us that Rev.

C FRIDAY, JULY 18, 1890. -I The CeiiNua la kavldoit Con at 7. Lexington Dispatch. We learn that D. C. Kimel, Re publican, substituted enumerator in place of David Raper, Democrat, a very competent gentleman, and who was removed without cause, has not finished his work "by a large majority," on account of the failure of the department to furnish him with blanks. Mr. M. F. Briles, Democrat, who was first appointed census supervisor for Conrad Hill township, was re moved without cause, and Cornelius Watford, a Republican, substituted in his place. Mr. Watford, wc learn, is about half done, and is out of blauks, and the work has stopped. Out of seventeen townships in Dav idson couuty, Mr. Webb at first ap pointed ten Republicans and seven Democrats. After they had done about three days' work, Mr. Webb removed every Democrat and some of the Republicans, and replaced them with his reliables." Dtwi with Tillman. Columbia, S. C, July 10. The death knell of Tillmaliism, dema gogism and bossism was sounded here to-night when Joe Barnwell, of Charleston, in tones of fervid elo quence, called on the people of the State to rise and never let B. R. Tillman be Governor of South Caro lina. Like magic five hundred straight out Democrats rose to their feet, and the pent up indignation unbottletl itself as cheer after cheer reverber ated iu thunderous tones through out the hall of the House of Repre sentatives. The convention of anti-Tillmanites was a grand meet ing. The enthusiastic legions of straight out, unadulterated Demo cracy gathered in such numbers as to show that they w ill spew the bogus reformer out of their mouths. Nbe Married Another. The Wilson Advance say: On yesterda)', Mr. Clarence Richardson, of Earpsboro, Johnston county, and Miss Mary Eaip, of the same place, came before Rev. D. II. Tuttle, and wanted to be united in marriage. Mr. Tuttle performed the ceremony for them at the residence of Dr. Albei t Anderson. The young lady was to have been married last night to another man whom she did not love. She told her trouble to Mr. Richardson, who at once gallantly offered himself. She accepted him on the spot; they came here and are now husband and wife. Tauuoko, N. C, July 12. Win. Thompkms, a colored brakeman on the Norfolk and Carolina liailroad local freight train, while coupling cars at this place Thursday, tot his head caught between the cars and his skull fractured. Dr. J. M. Baker performed an ojeration. Thompkins died and was buried here today. The cotton, corn and tobacco crops are exceedingly good. Farmers fear the cool weather we are now bavins: may cause rust in cotton. The seasons so far are favorable. M Meeting-. There will be a mass meeting of farmers of North Carolina held in Greensboro on the 23rd and 24th of Jnlv. The President of the Cabar rus County Alliance was authorized to appoint a delegation to that meet ing. The following are appointed by President lineman: J. 15. Wine- coff, Chas. McDonald, V. & Parish, J. P. Morrison, Dr. S. E. Grier, Geo. E. Ritchie, W. II. Hudson, R. O. S. Miller, W. M. Penninger, Jno. A. Fink. Etery farmer and every man in terested in the progress and growth of agricultural interests and the Farmers' Alliance are earnestly re quested to attend all are welcome. The railroad fare will be considera bly reduced. Behind the Baks. Mr. B. E. Harris, after two weeks vacation in the country, has returned, and he was immediately placed behind the bars of the cashier's desk in Can- uons & Fetzer's large mercantile establishment. Mr. Harris, outside of being a No. 1 good fellow, is a splendid addition to the handsome and accommodating force of clerks aud book-keepers of that establish ment 79 Applications. There have been made, up to this writing, 79 applications for pensions in this county 44 widows and 35 males. These applications will doubtlessly be granted, and the amounts of these pensions will be taken from the taxes. If Cabarrus county be an average in the pensiou of Con federate soldiers and their widows, the number disabled in the State must be something like 7,584. Died. This morning, of typhoid fever, Miss Nannie Keesler, of Charlotte, N. C. She was a lovely young lady of estimable character, and had many devoted itlatives and friends in this place, who deeply mourn her los. Trnly death leaves a shining mark. TANDAR Oar Trip I the Coaalry. Saturday evening a Standahd reporter availed himself of the op portunity and took a 'flying trip to Flows, and other points in No. 10. The air was cool and bracing, aud the ride was perfectly delightful. At Flows the boys were engaged in a lively game of baseball, and of course the reporter joined the crowd of spectators. The town is a live one, and since the prospects of the Roanoke & Southern are good, a big boom has struck them. That big hearted giver and clever gentleman, Benjamin Burleyson, has donated the land for . park and given the boys the levelest spot on his large planta tion for a ball ground. Saturday night the reporter took in the meeting of the Missionary Society at Boger's Chapel. It was good. The young people have made great improvement in the arrange ment of things in the church build ing, and have contributed a great deal to send the gospel to the heathen, and the people around Boger's chap el ought to feel proud of such a so ciety in their midst. Sunday morn ing Sunday school was held at the same place and we found it in a flourishing conditiou, and everybody interested. Crops are looking fine, though the drouth has affected their growth to some extent. One thing, which is a mystery as yet unsolved, is the number of trees which are dying. The 6assafras and black oak are the species most affected. It is a good country down there and the people will entertain a p erson so royally that he almost leaves reluctantly. A Correction. The Pharmaceutical convention has adjourned, and Dr. N. D. Fetzer again at his accustomed post of duty. The singular fact that the average height of the tides along the Atlantic coast wa3 greater, during the stay of the Pharmacists at More head, than was ever known before, has no connection with the fact that Dr. Fetzer went in swimming every day. It was merely a coincidence, such as any man of like generous proportion would be liable to, though many unscientific people refuse to believe it, and even go so far as to think that the cool weather of last week wts due to our extra elevation caused by the tipping up of this end of the State while the Dr. was at the other. Our innate sense of justice, as well as our loyalty to scientific truth demands this correc tion of a popular error, aud we very cheerfully make it, without the Dr.'s knowledge or solicitation. Tbejr Say. That A fruiter can hardly be called a time-serving fellow when he is out of dates. Some boys are so cold, is the rea son their girls fire them. There's nothing half 60 sweet in life as love's .young dream, So sings the mind whose lover treats her to ice cream. Conscience is the lighthouse of the mind, but some minds can only se cure a very light house. Fortune knocks at every man's door, but the man is generally out then. The man who lives only for what he can, is very short sighted. You had better keep an eye on the man who is always boasting of his goodness. Life is far from extinct in the man who appears to be dead in earnest. The DrMitirUtif The Pharmaceutical Association of the State has been in session at Morehead City. The election of office-s for the ensuing year resulted as follows: President, E. V. Zoeller, Tarboro. Vice Presidents, W. II. Wearn, Charlotte; II. R, Chears, Reidsville; N. D. Fetzer, Concord. Secretary, F. W. Hancock, New Berne. Treasurer, A. S. Lee, Raleigh. Local Secretary, R. J. Goodmgs, New Berne. Five members composed of Wra. Simpson, Raleigh; Doane Herring, Wilson; J. D. Croom, Maxton; E. V. Zoeller, Tarboro, and W. II. Wearn, Charlotte, were elected, one of which is to be appointed by the Governor, to fill vacancies that will occur this year in the Board of Pharmacy. A Terrible Experience. Gloucfsteb, N. J., July 10. Aaron Tyas, a resident of this city, was found on Tuesday firmly em bedded in the mud on the bmk of Little Timber creek, with the water within two inches of his chin. It is supposed that he was in the mud ten hours, although he is not yet able to cive an account of his mis hap, his fearful experience having rendered him temporarily insane. The foil nly Alliance. The County Alliance is in session. There is a full delegation from all the sub-alliances and the members are earnest and enthusiastic in their work. The election of officers resulted in the re-election of the old officers: A. F. Hileman, president, and Dr. Laf ferty, secretary. Iucludiug the delegation, there were fully 400 jersons at Bethpage. The table, laden with the good things of life, was 80 feet long and the crowd was waited on hospitably by the good ladies of that section. The Alliance, as some would have you to lelieve, is not met to argue politics and to get out a ticket, but to discuss matters that most concern them and to transact such business as belongs to their order. The somsof toil are having a good time. No Verdict. The committee appointed by the Conference to investigate the charges of immorality brought against Rev. A. G. Gantt, late of ML Pleasant, but now of Cleveland county, met this week at Forest Hill to perform the work assigned them. The inves tigation continued several days, though the party who brought the charges, did not appear. This inves tigation or trial is only preliminary, as the matter will be heard at the coming conference. In weighing the testimony and circumstances bearing upon this case, and in the rendering of a deci sion, the committee could not agree as a majority were for acquittal and the others for sustaining the charges. The case will rest until the meeting of the Annual Conference when it will be disposed of. Tillman Game WonKln't Work. On Wednesday the most imjiortant meeting of the South Carolina cam paign was held in Sumjter. This is the home of Earle, the candidate opposed to Tillman. About 100 men had been run in from other counties to hold the ground for Tillman. They were massed in front of the stand and after Tillman had con cluded his speech, Earle arose to ad dress the crowd. The howlers yelled and hooped and insulted him, and he was unable to say anything for half an hour. Finally Earle's sujiporters grew tired of it, and charged ujxhi the howlers and drove them from the ground. Then Earle made his speech without being in terrupted. The ring leaders were jailed and quiet was restored. The meeting was Earle's and was one of Tillman's most serious defeats. From Mt. IMeaxaut. Saturday was carnival day with our colored population. A Sunday school celebration wa8 the ostensible object. Mr. J. S. McLean, the superintendent, left nothing undone. A grand parade, headed by the Mt. Pleasant (colored) Cornet Band, was the first feature, after which ad dresses were made by Prof. Suggs, of Salisbury; Elder Simmons, of Concord, and Lawson Klutts, of the county; then a big dinner the indispensable finished up affairs. Truly our colored friends kmw how to celebrate. Mr. George Eury, who has been sick for some time, is in a very critical condition. Rev. Geo. Cox, pastor of St. Stephens pastorate, expects to visit Knoxville, Tenn., iu a short time. The firm of Beatty & Barringer has dissolved, Barringer succeeding to the business. Beatty has opened a new store in the old Temperance hall. So we grow. Extensive repairs are progressing on college hill, so that when the boys return, it will not look like the same place. President Jiirey has returned from his trip to Salem, Va. He re ports that the R. & S. railroad is coming. The health of our town is excel lent. Mr. Geo. Eury's family on Ad am's Creek is recovering nicely from the typhoid fever. Prof. C. L..T. Fisher is out on a (canvass) working for the N. C. College. Prof. Henry Fisher is at Gettys burg Penn. completing his theologi cal course. Prof. II. T. J. Ludwig is rustica ting. Parental Locks xo Good.

From a communication to the Weekly Standard from Dr. J. S. Lafferty, Secretary of the County Alliances (said article to appear in issue of July 18th) we clip this as of direct and special interest to the readers of the Daily Standard : There being some excitement at this time in the political circles, it ould be supposed by some that this body of meu could not meet without having a discussion of candidates nd the different 'political subjects. But I am glad to say that politics did not enter our Alliance at this meeting. There was not a name mentioned for any office, nor anv - j liscti8sion of political matters. We lo not believe in this and we adhere trictly to our principles. wnii Kew Glance.
