Superintendent Mathes Here from Dur
ham. On the 24th day of March our
readers will remember that a ter
rible accident occurred at Dur
ham, .resulting in the death of
Mr. W. H. Branson and almost
the death of Mr. J. C. Mathes,
who was superintendent ot the
mill there. Mr. Mathes was ter
ribly scalded and life seemed to
hang only by the smallest thread
but at last he revived and is now
able to again be at his post. He
was here today (Saturday) on a
business trip. His hands are yet
very tender and his ringer nails
are beginning to come off to give
place to others. Only a part of
one ear yet remains and his face
is considerably marked. Mr.
Mathes can but naturally feel
afraid and uneasy when . around
the pump house where he almost
suffered death and where one of
our State's best men and his own
best friend met a most awful
death. Mr. Mathes has been
connected with the mill there for
oveV fourteen years.
Engine Off tlie Track.
Friday evening about 5 o'clock
while Conductor Ed. Patterson's
engine was doing ome shifting
at the Odell mills, the big steam
horse jumped the track and sank
one of the driving wheels into
the ground. At 8 o'clock the
work train came in from Harris
burg and the force soon jacked
up the engene . and pulled it into
its proper position. The local
freight was delayed only about
four hours.

August 24th for Outrage On Mrs.
Miillis. '
?
Charlotte is to have another
hanging.
Julius Alexander, colored, was
found guilty in the criminal
court at Charlotte Friday of
foul outrage upon Mrs. Julia
Mullis, about 60 years old.
From the first ;it was evident
that the testimony ; was convinc
ing and it took the jury only 18
minutes to reach a verdict. Judge
Battle seemed quite tender in his
counsul to Alexander and advised
h'm to prepare for death as there
is no power to save him. He
then designated August 24th as
the day for execution -

ALMOST TOO HORRIBLE TO TELL.
Two Negroes Rob a Man and His Wife
and Then Humilate Her Before His
Eyes.
The most revolting crime that
news currents, venvey is reported
from Decatur county, Ga. The
story is that two negro toughs
robbed one Mr. J. E. Ogletree, a
white merchant, at the point of
pistols: They then made him
lead him up" stairs to where his
wife was and obtained four dol
lars. But worse than all and to
$ne. shame of manhood that did
not die in the effort to protect
her, each one in turn outraged the
helpless woman, one covering
him with a pistol all the while.
Gov. Chandler has offered $500
reward for their delivery to the
sheriff and the whole force of
the community is in pursuit. It
is needless to say that if caught
and identified there will be quick
retribution and nobody cares a
whit.
What will be the public verdict
against the husband that he did
not sell his own life at the high
est possible cost in defense of
his wife is yet to be learned.

Last tall I sprained my left
hip while handling some heavy
boxes. The doctor I called on
said at first that it was a elioht
strain and would soon be well,
but it grew worse and the doctor
then said I had rheumatism. It
continued to "prow worse and I
could hardly get around to work.
I went to a drug store and the
druggist recommended me to try
Cbanberlain'8 Pain Balm. I
tiled it and one-half of a 50-cent
bottle cured me entirely. I now
recommend it to all my friends.
