It is a Question Whose Husband He Will ( Be at the Judgment. j The Burlington News has the following: Quite a strange incident occur red at the depot at this place, last j woman who resides in this city received a telegram saying to meet the 9 o'clock train, as the remains of her husband, who had been working at Asheville. and died there, would be down on that train. She went sadly to the depot to receive the last remains of her departed husband. Soon after her arrival there, an other colored woman with a baby in her arms came in and sadly took a seat, holding her handkerchief to her eyes. The first woman being occupied with her own grief did not inquire into the case of the other's sorrow, but through an overheard conversa tion, she learned that she was also there to meet the remains of a deceased husband. Well, the train came, and with it the coffin containing the- dead husband. But as the train stopped another colored woman carrying a baby in her arms stepped off the train. All three, each without noticing the other, marched up. to the coffin, and there, 'mid the noise usual to a passenger depot their hearts gave vent to its feelings over the loss of a true husband. When it was discovered that the body belonged to all three of the mournine widows the train left for Haw River, and we did not stay to see what was the dispo sition of the body, but went olT would be in heaven. Waxhaw Has a Sensation; Waxhaw has a first class sen sation among the colored pop ulation. A disturbance occurred last "Wednesday between Will Barber and Wiley Kibbler .when Barber shot Kibbler. (We sup pose his razor was dull just then) Kibbler has since died. He . seemed to need help to get under the ground decently. One very humane and enterprising negro took up a list and collected what contributions could be had for burying Kibbler then skip ped with the amount. When the negroes dicovered the trick they went in a mob to take vengence on him. In the mean time a local physician secured the con sent of parties who had best right to the cadaeer and pro ceeded to unfiesh his fame. row he is safest who knows best how to hoodoo Kibbler's ghost. ' Take the Hint. A live grasshopper will eat a dead grasshopper. A Missouri farmer mixed Paris green and bran together and let a grass hopper eat it. He'died. Twenty ate him up. They died. Four hundred ate those 20, and they died. Eight thousand ate those 800, and they died. One hundred and sixty thousand ate those 4,000, and died, and the farmer was no more troubled. In its flight from the far west the name of the statistician of this story has become separated from his figures, but the fact that the incident happened in Missouri is regarded as evidence of its possibility.

I The Mountain Island team em barked and landed on good ground here this morning. They came to play that much talked of game of ball with our boys and are doing their best this afternoon to wipe us off the face of the earth. They have been in training all the season and have held this erame until the last, when they think they are in their best trim. Mr. Jordan is not along, neither did Iseman come to shore. The following left, the island : J Oldham, P Jenkins, R Jenkins, Hunter, Parker, Yount, Davis, Giles, J Davenport, E Davenport and Mangum. Dr. Wallace, who is manager of the team, also came along. Pro L Oldham is captain of the team. His Talking Was Expensiye. j Mack Starnes, a white man, was this afternoon arrested on the streets for being intoxicated and for loud talking. His speech , was of a political nature. He talked almost incessantly, au-: dience or no audience. His con duct caused him to owe the town five dollars. Mack Starnes is an ex-member of our chaingang; having been off. only a short while. To Make Some Improvements Therein. It has been decided that som& improvements be made in the Central Methodist church, and the work has been put in the hands' of a committee to look after it. It is the intention to repaint the pews and some of the wood work on the inside and to repair some places on the wall. To Organize Today, A meeting will be held at Mt. Pleasant this afternoon for the purpose of organizing a com pany for another cotton mill at that place. Mr. Jas. W Cannon will be one of the officers of the company. A Fearful Guardian. A Coatesville, Pa., dispatch of the 4th, says: "A valiant little colored boy, left by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kendrick, of East Fallowfield, to take charge of their house vesterday, while they went on a drive to Coatesville, proved ; faithful to his trust in a manner that cast the family in a gloom. ' Mr. and Mrs. Kendrick took their baby with them on the trip and left several small child ren with the boyi They gave him special injunctions to guard the house carefully. Returning after dark, Mr. Kendrick went , to his barn to put away the ; horse, and his wife thought to ! nut the colored lad to atest. Speaking in gruff tones, to imitate a tramp, Mrs. Kendrick stood near the door with her baby and asked the lad for permission to sleep in the barn. The boy said no, and then she declared that she was coming into the house to settle him. As she opened the door the boy fired at her with a shotgun with which he had armed himself , and the load took effect in the baby's feet." During the ciyil war, as well as in our late war with Spain, diar rhoea was one of the most troublesome diseases the army had to contend with. In many instances it became chronic aDd the old soldiers still suffer-from it. Mr. David Taylor, of Wind Ridge, Greene county, Pa., is one of these. He uses Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and savs he never found anything that would give him such quick rfolief . It is tor sale by M. Ij. Marsh & Co.,. Druggist. T.OST Umbrella.

V Sheriff Peck arid Register Johnson have for the last several weeks had considerable discus sion as to whose duty it is to put the names of the taxpayers and their amounts due into the books carried Ijy the sheriff. - It is not yet definitely 'decided, but it seems that Register "Johnson has the better end of the string. In 1896 the sheriff put them hr the books, but in '97 and '98 the work was done by the register of deeds, but the law has been changed and doesn't f,ay that the register must do the work. This work means something to the one who has it to do,' for it is a considerable job and is well worth discussion by the officers. Last year, under the other law, the names and the amounts were put in by Register Weddington, but the totals were added up and placed by Sheriff Buchanan. What's the Matter With Tarboro There seemed to be something more wanted by the Tarboro team last Saturday, when they played Mountain Island. Judg ing from the way the games have been going it could hardly seem possible, but is nevertheles true that the Tarboro boys were beat in their game with Mountain Island. But there is one expla nation to the game, and that is Kenna did not go in the box. Persons pitched the game for Tarboro. This was an off- day for Tarboro. They made 7 er rors while the Islanders onlv made 4. To Locate in Albemarle. Mr. J. M. Harris, of this county, who jintil recently has been conducting a business at Port Mills, S. C., will have a po sition in the Wiscassett mills store at Albemarle later. Mr. Harris is a brother of Mr. Jay Harris, of this place, who will soon go to Albemarle to engage in bank work there. A Place for Them. A leading Havana merchant, a Cuban, is quoted as saying that universal suffrage in Cuba would mean a black republic in the near future. He says half the popu lation is black, and that many Spaniards will refrain from, vot ing. He thinks that in fifty years there would be less than 250,000 whites and over.$ 2,000,000 ne groes in Cuba. That being the case Cuba would be a bad coun try for Uncle Sam to annex. Why not let the negroes have the island and see what they will do with it. It might be a good place to which to send the ne groes who want to leave the Uni ted States. Kinston Free Press, BISMARCK'S IRON NERVE Was the result of his splendid health.

For sale by M. L. Marsh & Co., Druggists. 'Dumdums" at Joliet. Every guard on the peniten tiary walls at Joliet is armed with a new Mauser rifle, and the rifles are loaded with "dumdum" bullets. This bullet is the one that was denounced in the peace conference . at the Hague as a barbarous implement of warfare. It is the Ipnd of bullet that was found to be so effective by the British soldiers in India in their recent encounters with the reb els. It is the same sorl of pro jectile that was the subject of discussion in the British House of Commons last week, because it was furnished to the troops who were,to be used against the Boers in the event of war in the Transval. This is said to be the first instance of its use in the United States. The bullets used at Joliet are made by an American firm, and they are described on the labels o ! the boxes that contain them as ' 'soft-nose bullets." " When they are fired into a body the soft ; nose flattens and spreads, and tne long projectile assumes the shape of a mushroom. One of these projectiles makes a small hole on entering, but in passing out it tears away the llesh and leaves a ragged wound, sometimes as large as a man's hand. Chicago Tribune. Pointed Paragraphs. When a wise man makes a mis take it teaches him something. A detective says: "The ways of the transgressor is hard to find." Many men court distinction, but the wedding day dawns for the few. When a man starts out to cover his tracks he makes a lot of new ones. A true love-letter is written with utter disregard for future possibilities. When we see a man strike an at titude we always feel like knock ing him down.
