A Terrible Accusation.
The Salisbury World tells of a
very serious charge against Mr. J T
Nelson of that place.
The charge is brought by the
grandmother of ten-year-old Bessie
Nelson, the step daughter of the ac

Nelson is in jail and declares
himself innocent and only the vic
tim of epito. If there is anything
in the world more heinous than the
crime, of w hied ne ia accused, it is
a malicious charge against inno
cence, and the punishment should
be equal on the one convicted.

Mr. John W Bostian, of Albe

his way homi fiom Federal court at

spoke col in very endearing terms of
Marshall Millikan, of Asheboro,
who succeeds our friend Allison, of

When a prisoner has been sen

the privilege of uaming the jail in

"What kind of a sheriff have th y

'One of these fool Democratic

"Well, then," said Millikan, "we
will take the prisoners to Asheboro,
where we have t Republican jailer.
We will take tbem by Wadeaboro,
Laurinburgand Fayetteville." And
eo they did.
"Millikan is one of the great
economical reformer?, but be didn't

about 70 miles, hs takes tbem in a

Working Jlt'tro Labor.
A cotton mill at Charleston, S. C,
bus recently substituted negro labor
for that of white. The press of the
country ass been severe in its criti
cism of ihis experiment, it being the
only cotton mill in the Sonth where
negro opreratives are employed. The
News and Courier gives what it de
clares to be the real renson for the
change in the following stipula
tions : "
"First. The owners of the Charles
leston cotton mill preferred white
labor. Thy could not get oner
fifth of the white labor they needed
in or about Charleston.
8econd. Tbe white labor they
brought from elsewhere wss very
unsatisfactory, but they kept it for
ten years.
Third. During those years the
mill steadly sunk money, and was,
this year reorganized and recapi.
tul'zad.
Forntb. It is wholly untrue that
he negro lat or was forced into the
mill by a majority of Macsachusctts
stockholders.
Fifth. Ten years ago the then
president of tbe company, a south
erner and ex-Corjfi'derate sold er,
urged the direotory to allow bim to
outfit the mill with negro help; and
it is now cn'y from necessity that
negios are used.
Six h. The negro bands are prov
ing entirely satisfactory and no
change will be made, so long as tbey
continue to give satisfaction."
There will soon be a mill in onr
midst that will work negro labor
exclus vely, lis an experiment, bn
the factories now in operation in
North Carolina will never be dnvei,
to hire negro labor to fi.ll th places
of the whites for the scarcity cf
hands, because onr supply is greater
than thedemrnd in many instances,
and in every particular our opera

A DAlilN'G BURQLR.

Great Neare and a Thrilling- Ei
perience Nnot Thre Titnen.
One of the boldest and most
danug burglaries ever heard of in
our quiet little city, ocenred this
(Thursday) morning at 2 o'clock at
tbe home of Mr. N S West on Geor
gia avenue. Mr. West is a boss in
the weave room cf the new mill at
Cannonville. lie is of small stature
but plucky to the core. He lives
with his family in one of the Fatzer
houses, the back dooor of which
contains two panels of glass, one
glass being bioken out. The burg
lar entered through this door, put
ting his arm through the bioken
panel, and turning the key, which
was in the lock.
Mrs. West and an infant child
ocoupied the first room to the right,
nd Mr. West and his four-jei-old
son slepc in an adjoining ro)m. Tbe
burglar pasead tbe first room and en
tered that of Mr. WeBt. The negro
as in the act ( of picking np the
trousers of Mr. WeBt when be
awakened and raised cp in the bed.
As be did so the dastardly coward
shot at Mr. West. Tbe ball missed
its mark, however, but came near
striking the head of Henry Lee, the
little boy, who was sleeping with his
fathtr. It Btruck tbe head board 2
inches above the cbilds heal.
Mr. West bad nothing with which
to defend himself, but as he made
for the negro he grabbed a chair
and struck. The lick was warded
off, and the two men clinched. A
lively scuffle ensued. Mr. West held
the man until they reached the back
piazza, when tbe negro tired the sec
ond time without effect. The burg
lar then freed himself and as he
bounded from the' porch and was
turning the house corner, he shot at
Mt. West again.
Mr. West followed the man into
the yard, but gave op pursuit and
returned to his wife atd children.
Mr. West says there were two
men, one being on the outside, and
that both were negroes.
Te authorities were notified and
eff were made to get blood
ho -j to put on tbe trail of the
burglars, but none could be obtained
at Salisbury or Charlotte.
Mr. West says that he will know
the negro if he ever sees him- again
Officers are on the burglar's trail
and i. is very likely that he will be
captured.
Mrs. West was yery badly fright
ened but when she had reached tbe
ball, her husband and tbe negro were
struggling on tbe piazz. She says
that nothing is missing except a few
cartridges that were in a vest pocket
wbicb hung in the hall, and a towel
from tbe baik piazzs. Daily 17th.
