"Daddy" Watt Barringer, th9 tall

in the cityThuisday and tells a tale
a yisit of some North Carolin'an
o a small town in South Carolina,
which is something like this :
"He went to the only hotel in the
mall place for his dinner, and when
seated at the table, a big, burly ne
gro man came in and sat opposite to
him. This nett ed the North Caro
linian, but he held Lid peace until
tee meal was finished, after which
he asked the landlady if that was
customary at that hotel."
Her reply was: "Why, that was
my husband."
At this the North Carolinian
seemed horrified, and the woman,
after her sympathetic feelings were
wrought np bv the expression of the
man's far-e, said in a sympathetic
way: "1 hat's nothing compared to
what my daughter Jane has gone
and done. . Sie married one of tbem
dratted Tillmanites "
Mr Brringer did not stat?
whether the man yet lives or not,

Minneeapoils, Minn.. August
23. Mrs, Nora Perkins was arrested
late last night cbargedjwith the mur
der of her sister. Mrs. Louise Haw
kins, the supposed motive of the
alleged crime being tbe fact that
Mrs. Hawkins bad $7,000 insurance
on her life. Mrs. Hawkins died
August 9. four hours after the
turnmgover of a lamp near a bed
where she lay.
Tbe fire was supposed to be ac
cidental, but a similar accident had
occurred several weeks before and
this aroused the suspicion of the
polic?. In company with the In
surance officers they haye been
making a qniet investigation which
resulted in last night's arrest There
were two polices en Mrs. Hawkins'
life one for $5,000 in the Fidelity
and Casualty and one for $2,000 in
the Security Mutual Life.
The sisters were widows and Mrs.
Perkins has one ehild. Mrs. Haw
kins' burns were so serious that she
died in great agony without being
able to tell wit had happened.
Tbe police absolutely refused to dis
close tbe nature f ih evidence.
Two policies were taken out April
9th in Mrs. Perkins' favor. It is
understood that the state expects to
prove tna the bed clotning was
saturated with oil and ignited and
the lamp overturned to conceal the
crime.
On the other hind, the defense
claims to have ante-mortem state
ment of Mrs. Hawkins to the effect
that she overturned the lamp her
self cciderjtsliy. No one is allowed
to see Mrs. Ferkins, but she is cocl
and unrnflld. She will be arranged
Monday.

Atlan A, Ga., Aug. 23. A special
to the Constitution from Dallas,
Ga., lays that Rev. Walter R Dale,
indicted for bigamy, has been ac
quitted. For seven years it has been
a question whether Dale was really
Dale or Nuttall. A woman who
claimed to be his wife said that he
was Nuttall and that she married
him in Concord, N. C, twenty yearn
ago. Her brother, named Horton,
identified Dale as Nnttall and so
did a dozen persons who said they
knew Nnttall intimately in North
Carolina. Nuttall abandoned his
wife at Concord and was traced to
Charlotte, where he worked as a
printer. He left there and about
the same time a yonng woman named
Rawlins left. She wai found by
htr brother afterward in Conyere,
Ga. Dale appeared at Rockmart,
Ga., and later at Dallas where he
became a Baptist preacher. He
came from Dallas to Atlanta and
bad a church in a suburb. He was
recognized in Atlanta. He was con
victed once of bigamy, being prose
cnted for marrying a Miss Smith, of
Dallas. Dale got a new trial and
today, after four years of prosecution,
be was acquitted, no witnesses for
the prosecution appeanng. Mrs.
Dale is now suing for a diyorce.

Standard readers will remember
that efforts have been made and
much said through these columns to
securethe building of a swith to the
Fair Grounds, where it was proposed
to erect a large cotton mill. After
wards another party said that if the
switch was built he too would see
that a second mill was built.
Attorney W M Smith sent the
papers and letters from several in
terested citizens to Mr. W H Bald
win, third vice president of the

Mr. Baldwin answers that he has
heard from Col. Andiews on the
subject and after considering the
matter has directed the Superinten
dent of the road, together with the
Division Freight Agent, to call upon
our people at once and to look over
the ground and make a full report.
Mr. Baldwin assures all concerned
that the question will haye their
most careful consideration.
This and other matters in the let

for the building of the switch.
When these representatives appear
on the grounds let the people be

this, which is taken from yesterday's
Concord Standard : "The "Stars'
have written to the Salisbury boys,
begging them to come down and
play ball, but they are as slow to
answer this time as they were several
weeks ago and the small boys have
about concluded that Salisbury can't

again." We suppose the "Pugs"
are tbe boys alluded to. Now, boys,

challenge and go down to Concord

they'll be satisfied for a good twelye

Rochester, N. Y., August 21
The Democratic caucuses in the
city of Rochester and the country
districts of Monroe county were held
last evening under the arrangement
made by the State committee look
ing to the pacification of the mil
and Cleveland factions of the party.
The results as a whole were sur
prising and showed that the quarrel
between the factions, which have
been at daggers drawn for several
years, had not been thoroughly
harmonized- In ten of the twenty
wards of the city each faction
was successful, and in the country
as a bole the same proportion
marked the result, the Cleveland
men carrrmg the hrst and third
assembly districts and the Hill men
the second and fourth. This will
make an even break for State com
mitteemen. Divided on the lines
of senatorial distrcts, the Hill men
carried the forty-tlird and the
Cleveland men the forty-fourth.

crooked he straightened them and
laid them on the top of a box with
weights on them in the open air and

After this he gaye them three
