CONCOHD,
WAS HE STAKVED ?
Tlie ISoys Tell a Bad Stoy On tlieO.
lortl Asyluin at Oxford, can It all
Be True ?
Mrs. A O James, of Mt. Pleasant,
was in the city today, to meet her
two little children who arrived on
the'noon train from the Oxford Asy
lum. ..
Arthur and Walter, aged 12 and
9 years respectively, are the names of
the boys. If what they tell t he
true, tne conduct of the Ox
ford Asylum needs immediate inves
tigation. The treatment said to
have been giyen these children is not
only not humane, but cruel, ery
cruel.
They claim that they did not get
enough to eat, that they actually
suffered for food. Arthur, accord
ing to his statement, together with
six others, ran away six weeks ago.
They went lo Youngyille, thirty
mile3 distant. One of these bovs
has been at the asylum for six years
.
and 2rew 80 tired of fche treatment
he could stand it no longer. For
five weeks and two days these beys
were away, the authorities knowing
nothing of their whereabouts;
neither were the parents notified of
their escape. Mr?, James knew
nothing of the matter until today.
Hearing that her children were so
dissatisfied with their treatment, she
wrote Mr. Lawrence to let them
come home : whereupon he simply
replied that "nothing would please
him better," and instructed her to
get an order from the Master of the
Mt, Pleasant Masonic Lodge.
Walter's story is a sad one. He's
thin and weak. His arms are no
larger than a grown person's thumb;
his legs have dwindled away until
you can reach around them with
two fingers, , He's not sick his
eyes are bright and yet he's so
weak he can neither stand or sit up.
The first thing he said, when reach
ing the parsonage (they stopped with
Rev. Scherer before going out to Mt.
Pleasant) ? wont you please give me
something to eat, I'm so hungry."
The little boy's story (as he lay
there the picture of hunger and
weakness) was indeed a pitiable ose.
He said he was not sick and had
not been; that they didn't give him
enough to eat nor even enough
water to drink,
The Standard does not know
that these-boys have told a correct
story, but its reporter gives wha
they say, ana sees tnac nine waiter,
while not sick, is too weak to walk
or sit up. He said they ate 'green
fruit and even dried green walnuts
to eat.
Has the Oxford Orphan Asylum
come to this ? Can all this be true ?
Hit is, there must in the name ot
. , a' , 1
nnmanity oe an inveatigai-iuu, it uui
Mr, Lawrence will haye 8n opportu
ntty to correct the statements that
have been going around for some
weeks, that do not speak well of the
institution's management.
The Standard can not believe
that Mr. Lawrence knows this; if it
exists at all, it must he without his
knowledge.

About 2 o clock 'his after nooa a

Had a Great Memory.
When Gov. Caiof North Carolina
was a boy he used to go to preaching
Sunday mornings ,and m the after
noon the negroes on his father's
plantation would assemble in a grove
near the house and, and young Carr
would repeat the sermon he had
heard in the morning, much to the
edification and j comfort of the
darkies. Danyillc Register.
The Register j neglected to say
whether Gov. Carr's sermonettes to
the darkies, etc , of the last Legis
ture were a source or, edification and
comfort. j "

I was here two years ago with
Oregon horses. Those I bring here

those I had two years ago. I desire
to show you one of the finest lots of
Western horses ever brought to the
Southern market. The majority of
them are .from' 3 to 6 years old, of
all flizfis. These horses must be
sold and buyers may, expect great
bargains.
You - will hear on the streets the
place of exhibit which is now
not known.
Now's your chance for a cheap
horse that will grow inib money.
Yours Respectfully,
SHE WAS FOOLED.
r.ittlc ISIis Xewsom. Who Eloncawith
Her Lover Retaruea llome With a
Broken Heart and a Wrecked Mind
In the World of September 9th,
was an account of how little sixteen
year. old Fannie Neweom had elop.d
with - ner lover and deserted her
home. .September 7th she left Salis
bury a bright-eyed, intelligent happy
little girl; last night she returned
with a broken heart, eyes from which
the light of reason had well nigh
fled aid a tale of suffering and
neglect. -
In the intervals when she can talk
she tfclla.how Ed Gcodman seduced
her from the shelter of her father's
rcof with' promises of eternal fidelity
and an easy life. But no sooner
were thty married than he began to
neglect her. He refused to work
and, was entirely dependent on his
kmspeople for sustenance.
Neglect was followed by cruelty
and in the agony of hopeless despair
she begged him to take her home.
'Let me go back to my father," she
said, "and I will never molest you."
But he refused to aid her and she
procured means elsewhere and came
in last night. It is a. sad story. It
is iearea mat sne will not recover
her .' reason as her grief has passed
into a state of settled melancholia.

Bitten By a Copperhead.
Tuesday afternoon while Mr. O W

the plantation of Mr. lian Foil, a
few miles northeast of the city, a
large copperhead sprang upon him,
biting him on three fingers. He was
in the city on Wednesday telling of
his experience, His hand is a hor
rible looking piece of fle3h and no
doubt the snake bite may be a seri
ous thing. Mr. Sides says it was the
largest copperhead he had ever seen
