Carbuncles
Appeared Tach Season Until Blood

parllla An Indolent Ulcer.
For several years I was troubled with
carbuncles on my left side and my back.
They would dleappear in winter and re
turn the next summer. I began taking
Hood's Buraaparilla and have never had
any carbuncles since. My little Bon bad
a fever and an indolent nicer appeared on
his left limb and spread hall way around
it. Our physician recommended a blood
purifier and I gave the boy Hood's
Barsaparilla with gratifying results." A.
O. II. James, I'olkvillo, Miss.
" I have been a great sufferer from mus
cular rheumatism and in October began
taking Hood's Barsaparilla. I continued
Its use until January when I could go
about as well as any one and I have had
no acute pains since." L W. MUTMios,

KOItNKR WRITES.
If tbe lady lieutenant
' of my household would just
look bulk fortj-five years
and think of the happy days
of ber childhood, when her
mammy would lay ber in the
old pine board cradle, which
she wonld give an occasional
kick and set it to rocking
with one foot and toil snd spin tbe
cotton at tbe same time, in order to
save ber Pa a few odd cents on his
new jeans suit, she would poisibl;
appreciate more keenly my financial
surroundings wi h cotton at 6 cents
a pound and sweet potatoes at 35
cents a bushel, when the young
daughter who bas just arriyed at the
tid bit gum-sucking ag", . worries
the life out of me every day about
half dozen pairs of those plaid
stockings that aie creating such a
furor in female circles at this partic
ular season. It bas always pjzzled
me why the lady Jientenant didn't
teach our girls to knit their own
hosiery, jnst like sbewas about tbe
t me when we were brought before
the village iquire to take that awful
vow that bound us together so tight
as Dick's bat band for all this weary
life. All the toi for men and women
were made alike in these days, ex
cept those far tbe women,
were a few inches longer. If the
women wore colored hosiery in those
da s no one knew it but the one who
knit them.
The wheels about the ranch nowa
ila.vs are altogether different from
those in use forty years ago. When
the girls wanted to taka an outing)
mothers wouldgive their daughters
a task of fp'nning so much yarn,
and whatever .the amoun', it was
done. At this degenerated period
however, when tbe girls wish to take
'm outing their wheels are oiled, the
gear is set; and if a father r.iaes an
johj-ctioDj the ya'n is already spun
iiuJ left in an envelope on thj center
table, close to where the gas jet
ought to be, with an affectionate
adieu and respects.
V
Such is tbe
the captain of
experience of
the ranch,
and when tbe little witch re
tarns with that pleading, irresistible
way of weaving the tender threads
of her yarn and explaining what a
delightful spin she'd had, the ire of
tbe old man falls to J a normal de
gree and soon things are rocking
along smoothly, and the lapping of
tbe loom is stopped forever.
And then when uiy old daddy was
boss, we boys nsed to raise the cot
ton, and at night after all the work
was done, tbe stock and cattle
watered and fe'J, the gcod old dark
eys would meet us at tbe cotton
house, when every man would take
unto himself a "spoon-weight"
(about twelye pounds of cotton) and
gin it with our hands while we
rested, before resting for the night
Those wero good old times, sure
enough.
When the crop was all ginned, tbe
girls and boys would have card
parties, not tbe kind we haye now,
when the children Inyite their friends
to play whist, but tbe kind when
all the guests worked and made rolls
io spin next day, and also made bah
for the quillings, which were looked
forward to with as much eagerness
is many of tbe children do to tbe
coming of John Robinson's circus

HIS NECK BROKEN.
Mr. I.emlr Thrown From Ilia Wagon
snd Killed.
Wednesday Mr. Henry Lemly,
who lives near China Grove, was in
Salisbury. But on bis way home
he was thrown from his wagon and
killed, says the Salisbury Sun ol
Thursday.
A note stating that he had been
found in an unconscious condition
was received by the Sun yesterday
evening, and this morning we
learned tbe particulars of the sad
accident.
A party in passing down the
road about three miles from the
Grove found Mr. Lemly in the
road unconscious. Some distance
beyond, bis team was found and it
is most propable that the horse ran
away and threw the gentleman
from his wagon.
Dr. Gaither was sent for but
when he arrived the injured man
had breathed his last. The Dr.
found that death was caused by a
broken neck. Tbere were but two
small scars on the dead man, one
on his face and one directly over
the heart.

Bye of the young lady inmates were
burned to dta'h. Twenty-fi.e es

Oa the same day a fire broke out
in a stock yard in Chicago in which
there were BOO horses, some of which
were burned to death. In the battle
with the flames one was burned to
death. Tbe horsts could have been
saved but'for the pjnio to which
they are giyen in a fire. Oae horse
was, by pure muscular force, dragged
oat through a door and the others
followed, but too late for all to es
cape. At Perth Amboy, N. J., the
smelting and refining works of Uug
genheimer's was destroyed by fire,
involving a lesj of $300,000.
The dwelling bouse of Mr. J A

few articles of furniture were sayt d
while some of the fami.y came near
being caught in the flames by ven

The Asheville Citizen says there
was comparatively little drinking
and disorderly conduct on show
day in Asheville, nor was circus
lay pocket-picking practiced to any
considerable extent.
We hope Concord wil be able to
ihow up as well next Monday. In
deed, we do not anticipate any
thing to the opposite.
The day seems to be here when
arge crowds vie in manifestations
if civility and good will, and there
s a maral tone about all the shows
that at all cater to the respectable
citizenship. This is due, of course,
to the demands of constantly im
proving chastity of public taste, the
chief exception to whiob is tbattbe
dancing girl is still permittod to
ibow how high shd can kick.
This, it is to be hoped will ere
long pass into the limbo of public
interdiction.
It is one of the triumphs of our
civilization, or rather of our Cbris
liamty that large crowds may be
fathered together with litUe need
of a heavy police force.

Nimln nnd Cuba.
If at any time since the insurrec
tion of the Cubans there ' has been
good cause to look for a change of
policy toward the island, it seems to
be now. The cabinet has been
changed from the Conservative, un
der tbe premiership of Canovas and
bis successor Azjarraga, carrying
iib it the Weyler policy of brutal
severity, to a cubiuet of Liberals
under tbe premiership of Sagasta
with a policy on the Campos idea of
autonomy for Cuba.
It is said that the queen, grew
heart-sick of Spanish cruelties, and
hopes are held out for a ruuoh more
iberal policy, involving tbe libera,
tion of most of tbe Amerioan pris
oners held in Cuba, and the Cuban
prisoners condemned to imprison
metit on tbe island of Ceuta and tbe
noted Miss Cisneros, whose case has
xcited so much sympathy in the
United States.
The signal for these good results
of a change of cabinet and the one
which will please Americans greatly
will be the removal of Gen. Weyler

Dr. Kemp P Bittle's lecture last
week brought to light a man of ex
traordinary promise, who fell a
victim to consnmp'ion at tbe age ol
33, Charles Wils-n 11 irna, cousin
of Win. Shakeepear,- II irris, an emi
nent oit zn, of Caburus oonn'.y.
IV-.f. II irris gradua eJ at Princeton
with highest honors, speaking tbe
mathematical oration in 1792, che
year after Dr. Joseph Ca dwell ob"
tained his degree. He entered the
University of Korth Carolina as
tutor of mithematicn in the spring
of 1795, and w is promoted in tbe
full to full prof esso.'. .The next
year be was made presiding profes
sor, or prinijul The following
year he resigned, greatlf to the re
gret of the trustees, and studied law,
at Halifax, iij tbe effioe of General
Davie, ffheo Davie was sent as one
of the Ministers Plenipotentiary to
avert a war with France he turned
over bis practice to Harris. Such
wan tbe ability showed by him that
in four years he was pressed by
Davie and other leading Federalists
to allow his Dams to 'o before the
General Assembly for a judgeship
in place of Samuel Johnston, re
signed. He declined because of
feeble health. Tbe same year he
was chosen a trustee of the Uni
versity. He then visited the West
Indie i in the hope of warding off
consumption, but failing, returned
to Greensboro, in Anson county,
where he died in January 15, 1804,
at tbe borne of his brother, Robert
W Harris, a merchant of that place,
named by a brother of Maria Edge-
worth in honor of his step-mother,
Honora Saeyd, once the sweeUVieart,
if not the Since of Major Andree.
Charlea W Harris was a man of
rare ability, remarkably well read
and a polished gentleman. If he
had not left the University he would
baye certainly been its first presi
dent instead of Caldwell .
Dr. Battle gave many glimpses
into the early history of the Uni
versity, rnd the manners and history
of one hundred years ago.
SEDOND SEJTION DONE.
D iut Ntreet TAiculii Opened np to
Travel llljc Improvements. .)
There was general rejoicii'g in the
town Friday night, especially among
h ick drivers, when the street hands
knocked off work and Mayor
Crowe! opened up the second in-
s ailment of the improvement1) to
be made in the macadam on West
Depot street.
So much, so good, aod it is tbe
belief of the public that it will all
be go'id ivhen our worthy mayor
will have continued the sections un
til they reich the end of the street
at the dip it.
Those who have it, should pay
iheir taxes us early as possible io
order to keep funds enough in the
treasury to p.ty for the work.
