' Couldn't Kill Thin Negro.
Tho physicians who are at
tending Honry (Jilmoro, the no
gro who was struck by lightning
on tho Kirkpatrick plantation,
toll us that in all probability he
will recover from his dreadful
wounds. It is a rcmitrkablo case,
probably without a parallel. Gil
more says that he was standing
under the cherry tree holding a
pair of mules with his left hand
and had just placed his right
hand on Mr. Murdock's shoulder
when ho lost consciousness. Now
tho bolt of lightning first struck
Murdock and passed through his
body, killing him instantly; then
it entered Ciilniore through his
right arm, gointr down his right
6ido to his foot, back again across
his chest down his left side to
his foot, up again and out of his
left arm into the mules, both of
which diod instantly. Though
this mysterious current left fear
ful scars on G ilmoro's body, he
was conscious in a few hours
and is now on the way to recov
ery. Fayetteville Observer.

"Not many people know that
the average growth of the linger
nails is 1-82 of an inch per Aveek
or a little more than an inch and
a half per year," observed a
physician recently to a Washing
ton Star man. "The growth,
however, depends to a great ex
tent upon the rate of nutrition,
and during sickness and absti
enco from good norishing food
it is retarded. Nails grow faster
in summer than in winter, and
tho growth differs for different
fingors, being usually most rapid
in tho middlo linger and slowest
in the thumb. The average
time taken for each linger nail
to gfiow its full length is 'about
four arid a half months, and at
this rate a man of seventy years
of age would have renewed his
nails 16 times. Taking tho
length of each nail at half an
inch he would have grown seveu
feet nine inches of nail on each
finger, and on all his lingers and
thumbs and aggreato length of
sevonty-soven feet six inches."

A PRESIDENT ASSASSINATED.
The I.lltle Repiililk- In Kali in Fever or
Excitement.
The president of the Domini
can republic, Island of Hati, Gen.
Ulyssus Uereaux was assassi
nated last Wednesday by one
Roman Caceros, who made his
escape.
It is believed to be part of a
political conspiracy aud much
excitement prevails. The assas
sin opened fire on the unsuspect
ing president when in the act of
giving alms to a pleader, killing
him instantly.
The vice-president Weuaslo de
Figuereo has entered upon the
duties as president and precau
tions are taken against an insur
rection. Correction A pology.
We are exceedingly sorry that,
in our noting on Wednesday that
Dr. Young had taken two of his
pationts to the hospital at Phila
delphia, we used phraseology
that might be construed as neg
lect on the part of the parents of
the unfortunate little Louis
Swink. We simply wrote im
pressions we had gotten that the
limb had become stiff from some
lack of application of joint exer
cise that is a part of the most
skilful treatment ol an injured
joint, without for a moment in
tending our words to bear a con
struction other than that of pure
misfortune without fault. Our
chagrin is the deeper from the
fact that Mrs. Swiuk, whose
wifely ministrations had stood for
months between her amicteu
husband and the grave and that
when she had seen her devotions
bearing the rich fruits of resto
ration this very grievous acci
dent to little Louis came as a
second cloud over her homo, tax
ing again her strength and her
spirits we say that our chagrin
is the deeper that she should tee
that our statement might lead a
single reader to doubt her due
care of her child, buch was
furthest from our purpose, as it
was furthest from our convic
tions. We're on Steady Move.
It is a satisfaction to know
that contracts ore awarded for
work, and arc noted beforehand
but it is still more gratifying to
see the work now being pushed
and new buildings being added
each month to our town. Since
last noting our improvements iu
this line, Mr. J. A. C. Black
welder at Cannonvillo has started
the erection of a residence
next to his present ono and will
also add another on the lot at
tho rear of his residence.
Ground has been broken and
the foundation started for another
one for Mr. Cha. Wagoner on
the lot opposite the residonce of
Mr. M. U. Walter.
Already ono can see that West
Depot street will have a most
valuable .addition when the resi
douce of Mr. Jno. U. LOslio is
finished. The frame is already
up.
Ere long two new ones will be
standing on South Main street
on the lots of Mr. Geo. W.
Brown.
A great change and improve
ment is noticeable on tho prop
erty of Mr. Zeb Morris on the
same street. Where once was a
valley almost like a precipice
there will be a back yard and
driveway to a barn.
A Drnnken Negro Pulled.
David Crump, a negro, while
very drunk conducted himself in
a most disorderly way today at
Cannonvillo near Mr. J. A. C.
Blackwelder's store. Policeman
Cruse got news of the affair and
metthe negro. A tussle followed
for a little while but the officer's
wooden paralyser brought blood
Lowing from the negro's head
and he is now in jail awaiting
soberness.
An Expensive Drunk.
David Crump, the negro who
acted very disorderly on West
Depot street Thursday afternoon
and who by resisting arrest was
hit throe times by Policeman
Cruse before subdued was tried
before JMayor Means and fined
twelve dollars. He succeeded
in getting the amount of his
tine and will very probably be
more careful as to his conduct
hereafter.

Rpt Faust to Leave Here.
Some time ago it was noted
in our columns that Rev. J. N.
Faust, pastor of tho Reformed
church here, had received a call
to Thomasville. Wo have re
ceived a postal from Rev. "3. N.
Faust, who has been attending
the Classis, reading as follows:
"The Classis has dissolved the
pastoral relationship and con
firmed the call to Thomasville to
take effect on August 1st." We
regret to loso Rev, Faust and wife
from Concord.
L. D. DtVAIi KESKiXS.
Ilis Kesirnation as .Superintendent of
the Cannon .Mills Handed In to Take
Effect After Thirty Days It Menus a
Loss to Concord.
It will be a surprise to every
ono of our readers to learn itliat
Mr. L. D. Duval, who is now
superintendent of the Cannon
mills, has tendered his resigna
tion of that position which will
take effect in thirty days. This
is news that will meet tho eves
of our people with regret as Mr.
Duval is looked upon as one of
our best townsmen and ono who
has tho esteem and respect not
only of those under his supervis
ion but among our people.
Ten years ago Mr. Duval came
to this place from Georgia, to ac
cept the position he now has. At
that time there were under his
direction 4,000 spindles and 130
looms. Now he is superintendent
of 17,0(10 spindles and 520 looms.
This resignation means that
Concord will lose Mr. and
Mrs. Duval as Mr. Duval will
later take part in mill work in
Georgia.
They Put the Illume on Day.
The Statesville Landmark in
speaking of the defeat of their
team says:
A combination of bad luck that
was beyond the control of the
home team is responsible for the
defeat of the team in Concord by
a score of 18 to 3. - When the
game was called it was found
that Day was no pitcher at all,
and Concord batted hiin at will,
making i) runs in the first and
part of the second inning. Fox
was then put in to pitch and did
srood work, but it was impossible
for any team to win with such a
lead against them; and then
there are many other things that
might well be said if it would do
any good to tell the whole story.
Concord's team is undoubtedly
strong, while our tf. un was ren
dered almost helpless by the
downfall of the would-be pitcher.
Statesville's team has the confi
dence of its friends, and the
town is back of them in defeat
iuwt as surely as in victory. The
people here understand the sit
uation in Concord and wlien our
boys are on the diamond again
they will be ; riven a royal
welcome.
Reprimanded liy the Judge.
During court Friday afternoon
when Mr. Will Thompson, a
white man, was being tried on
tho charge of carrying a con
cealed weapon, tho evidence
brought out the fact that Police
man Goldston struck the man
with his "billy." Judge Robin
son seemed very much surprised
at an officer hitting a man while
drunk and at once ordered the
solicitor tojdraw up a bill against
Mr. Goldston and have it go be
fore the grand jury. Tho facts
in the case are that Mr. Gold
ston was bringing Mr. Thompson
through the streets here ono
Saturday afternoon under arrest
and whon nearing the place of
trial Mr. Thompson landed a
blow with his list into the face
of the officer. Both were sitting
in the buggy at the time. Mr.
Goldston did, as ho at once con
fessed, strike the man a blow.
Mr. Goldston, of course, gave
band for his appearance at tho
court room for trial.

Crime on a Negro (iirl Near China

We learn by phono message
from China Grove that Floyd
Utly, a white boy of 18 years,
son of William Utley, attempted
foul assault on a negro girl on
Thursday evening about a milo
north of China Grove.. Young

of $400 for his appearance at

The young man being unable
to give bond was taken to Salis

The Counterfeiters Caught.
Several weeks ago United
States Commissioner Maxwell
learned that there was a gang of
counterfeiters in the city. He
reported the fact to tho Socrot
Service agont of tho Treasury
Department at Washington, who
has had agents here working up
the case. Tho result of their
work was that they last night
bagged the game. The parties,
all white, are: '
Mrs. C. R. Bradwoll and
daughter, Mrs. L. Eva Ozment,
and J. E. Talloy, A. W. Edwards
and J. R. Maynard. Four of
the number wero arrested at
Mrs. Bradwell's, near the Ging
ham Mill. Maynard was ar
rested on South Graham street.
The whole gang was taken to
tho Federal Court room, where
impromptu court was in session
until l:.3t) this morning. The
men were sent to jail in default
of 500 bond each. The women
were allowed to stay in the Fed
oral Court room under guard
District Attorney Helton was
wired last night of the arrest of
the counterfeiters and asked to
be hero at the trial, which takes
place at 2 o'clock in the Federal
Court room. A ladle and 82
counterfeit coins were found in
Mrs. Bradwell's house. Char

Charlotte Is Now Tickled.
That was a great day for Char

defeated them in a score of 7 to 3
It was a day long to be remain"
bored by them, too. Rogers andl
LeGrande. of our team, assisted
by seven from Charlotte, com
nosed tho Charlotte team. Of
the former's playing, tho Ob
server says: "Rogers (F. 0.) one
of Concord's noted run-getters,
covered centre field for Char
lotte, and did it in great shape.'
If Charlotte beats Mountain
Island in a score of 7 to 3, and
Concord boats Charlotte in i
score of 7 to 0, what do you in
for? Remember we did not have
all of our team on duty when
Charlotte beat us in that score of
8 to 6 we wore short Rogers,

ANOTHER BATTLE REPORTED.
Victory Said to Have Ileen (ialned at
( ulanilia.
Another victory for our troops
is reported from tho Phippines.
It was Gen. Hall who defeated
tho Filipinos at Calamba on
Wednesday. It soems a desir
able point and was taken by a
strategic movement. About 70
Spanish prisoners were held
here and 40 wero gotten off but
our troops released 30 and
brought them to Manila.
The American loss was four
killed and eleven woundod. The
enemy is said to have removed
twenty-five of their killed and
woundod.
This report is not official from
Gen. Otis but if it wero it would
seem to amount to little if he
perverts and falsifies tho news as
is said by the newspaper corre
spondents. We can only give it
as stated in dispatches.
A Strange Case Itcfore the Mayor.
it is not often that a case
comes up for trial similar to the
one brought before Mayor Means
Thursday afternoon, wherein a
negro was accused of getting
money that didn't bolong to him
The circumstances as brought
out on the trial were that two
persons, a negro and a white
man each lost forty conts a quar
ter, a dime and a nickel. Mr. San
dy Garmon, an old man, found the
money, and after being satisfied
that the negro had lost this
amount, turned it over to the ne
gro. The white man, who had
in tho meantime been looking for
his lost coins, and hearing that
this negro had received forty
cents, went and had a warrant
issued for the negro for claiming
money which was not his. The
negro was at last found and
brought to trial and then is when
tho facts were brought out at
least enough that the negro
could not be found guilty. The
costs then had to be paid by the
white man who had the warrant
issued and who also claims that
he lost forty conts.

Work and Hope.
Yes, work and hope. The
outlook may be dark, the time
may by threatening; but while
(iod lives it cannot but be well
with tho hopeful, believing,
trustful well-doer. True?, times
and things might tie better; they
might be worse, also. Despair
ing never changes anything for
the belter, but hopeful working
does. Look upon the bright side.
If you do not see it hunt for it.
Bring a (lower when you come
homo from your toil and hand it,
with a smile, to your wife, your
mother, your sister, or your
daughter. It will cheer them,
and make them feel that life is
worth living; then in return they
will smile upon and cheer you.
Fill your home with loving
smiles, kind words, helpful deeds,
and then hope will well up in
your soul. There is love all
about us, if wo will but make
ourselves lovable; there is plenty
of appreciation near by, if we
will but do something worthy of
appreciation. The world is not
going to smash, and wo are not
going to bo cast out to die of
starvation if we but do as well as
we may. Therefore, work and
hope. Religious Telescope.

Some Liiivk of Health.
The Medical Times says: "The
true secret of health and long
life lies in very simple things:
Don't worry. Don't hurry. Don't
overeat. Don't starve. Fresh
air day and night. Sleep ,uid
rest abundantly. Spend less
nervous energy each day than
you make. Bo cheerful. 'Work
Ilk a man; but don't be worked
to death.' Avoid passion nnd
excitement. Associate with
healthy people health is con
tagious as well as disease. Oon't
carry the whole world on your
shoulders, far less the universe.
Trust the Eternal. Never di spair
Lost hope is a fatal disease." .
