ANOTHER rOTTOX MILL.
One Will Be Built On This Side.cf China
f oroxe -The Site Purchased and a
Good Amount of Stock Already Sub
scribed. Some months ago it was occa
sionally intimated that China
Grove would in the near tuture
have another cotton mill. : rThe
matter has been kept a secret
awaiting developments which
would make it a certainty. ;
A beautiful site on this side of
China Grove has been purchased.
It contains about 75 acres and
was purchased from Messrs. C.
A. Linn, W. A. Sechler and J.
R. Rice. ., The site is about two
and one -half miles on this side of
China Grove, at the place known
as High Point on account of this
being at the top of the grade of.
the railroad leading from here.
The capital of this company
-will be $75,000 or $80,000. Al
ready $30,000 have been sub
scribed and provided another
similar amount is raised the re
maining $20,000 is in sight.
This mill will be near the
intersection of the Mooresville,
Concord and Salisbury roads.
It is the intention , of the com
pany at first to spin and no
looms will be ..put in. About
5,000 spindles will be placed.
How to Kill That Tree.
"We hoped to have one cx
more recipes for killing a tree,
which information was wanted
by a lady. We have had several
answers already to the query.
One good plan is to lay cloths
"around the foot of the tree and
pour a good amount of hot water
over them. This will, if done
several times, destroy all life.
Mind, though, that you get a
plenty of water, else you may
only kill the insects and the tree
will increase in its growth. An
other is to saturate cloths around
the tree with kerosene oil and
set on fire. Still another way is
to bore holes in the tree and put
in some sulphuric acid. Another,
pour around the roots of the
tree very strong, hot lye. There'
would be little uncertainty about
effectually killing the tree, trunk
and branch, by cutting it down
in this dog-day weather. Any
old way is likely to kill the tree
and roots just now, we are told,
but there is probably no known
way to get rid of some sprouts
but to watch and dig them up
as they appear far away from
the location of the tree.
Gone to the Hospital at Philadelphia.
Two persons from Concord
were sent to Philadelphia, Pa.,
Tuesday night to take treatment
in the hospital there. They
were Mr. Jno. A. Cline, who for
some weeks has been suffering
with neuritis in his left shoulder,
and Louis, the little son Qf Mr.
and Mrs. Fred Swink. Last
January this little boy had the
misfortune to break his leg. On
account of an insufficient amount
of exercise the ankle of tfiat leg
became stiff and one of the
nerves became affected. It will
be necessary for the leg to be
broken again and the defective
nerve treated.
Dr. Robt. S. Young accompa
nied them to the hospital. He
"will, while feone, visit several
northern cities and enjov a good
vacation.

The Canse of the Delay of Court.
The reason why Judge Robin
son and Solicitor Rush were not
here last Monday morning for
the regular opening of court was
on account of a very imrjortaht
case at Asneooro tne case was
Burns vs. the Aberdeen and
Asheboro railroad. Over a year
ago -a man named Moses Burns
was killed by the train and suit
for $2,500 was .brought, against
thf? COnrnanv.nv snrriA nn'ft of "hie
relatives. This case was sup-
ported' by some of the inost able
counsel of the State. - The at-
torneys for the4 plaintiff were C.
B. Watson, B. F. Long,- Wiley

defendant had M . S. Robbing,

WAS THE DOUBTER HOXEST I
Several Occasions on Which Ingersoll
Took a Fe eble Hold on Hope.
Despite all .the studied consis
tency with which Col. Ingersoll
questioned the generally accep'.-
ed authorities on the immortality
of the soul and other tenets of
, , . x. j.t
the Christian faith, there were a
few conspicuous departures on
his part from that line of dispu-
tatious doctrine. Notable among
these exceptions to his life rule
were the occasions when he was
calledupon t0 say the final words
of comfort to those who mourned
departed dear ones. :

Perhaps the most notable in

tracted to him an almost univer-

characterized him as the 'Plumed
