News and Observep. - in rominl to what is lielievtxl to havo Imh'ii a foul murder have j list come to lijjht in Cherokee county." In Di-comber, 1899, Chas. Mason and John Sherman, two men who had Ik (en working . for the Hisor Lumber Company, at Tellico, in Cherokee coun ty, HtarUHl across the mountains for their home in Graham county, with several months'; pay in their pockets. ThW had l(en drinkine freely that day; arid as some weeks h'a"d elapsed and no-news. was received of them, the supjKisition was that they had been froen to acatn, tliougii tnere were whispers of foul play. A short while afterwards a party from Murjdty were hunting' deer in. the mountains when their driver discovered the skeletons of two men. By the clothing still Glinging to the bones the deer driver recognized-the missing men. In the clothing only a small sum of money was. found. As it was the opinion of all at the time that the men had lost their way and had been frozen to death, the bones were buried, and now what promises to be the sequel comes to light. ' The Murphy corresiiondent of the Ashevilte Gazette gives the following recently discovered facte touching the death 'of the men: Working at the same place with Mason and Sherman was a young man Chas. Dunlniye, who did riot liear the best of reputations. Under promise of marrbvge he had seduced the young duugnter of a mountakjeer, whose veracity had never been doiuted. Tins girl now states that on the day of the disappearance of the two men, she saw DunlKiye strap a revolver around his waist, and take, the trail into the moun tains through which the two fnen soon followed. ; She did not see her lover for several days, when in aconfideritia mood and swearing her to secrecy, he told her that he had bushwhacked the men, that in their drunkeri condition it was an easy matter to kill and rob them; that as soon as matters became quiet he . would marry her and they would have a good time on the money 'Nearly a year followed and the ni vstery of the death of the two men was fading from the minds of all ex cept the parties directly concerned and "the loved ones at home, when Duriboye becoming tired of the girl deserted her, ut not till he had told her that he would serve her as the two men whom lie had murdered, if she told about the matter. After he deserted her and failing to make good his promise to marry her, and about to become $ mother, site went hefqre a magistrate iind made arhdavit as to the above. The bones were exhumed and after a careful examination what was thought to le bullet marks were found pn then. Warrants were taken out for the young nian upon circumstantial evidence and the girl s sworn testimony, hut he hd fled and up to ithe present has not been apprehended, though jt js thought that he is .in hiding m some or the almost inaccessible mountains near the Ten nessee line." Turned Klaek, Tlten Died. Nashvl'le, Oa., Special. EmmettEveret, the young white man : mentioneil a few days ago in The Con stitution as gradually turning black, died at his home in this county. He was aliout twenty-one years of age and had lieen undergoing a change of'color for -about three and a- half years," He was a, comely, blue-eyed, fair-haired boy, when suddenly the metamorphosis b -gaii to take, place. His -skin first assumed a yellowish hue, then grew darker until Ins death, at which time he was a teep hnnze-colqr. One ph,y leiaii has advanced tie ingenious. theory that the' change of color was caused by the inhalation pf the fumes of wood alcohol and its consequent i action uoon the kidnevs.- This position ia SUpputtud Uy Uie iaet that ne was ior some time engaged in its manufacture Ilis death is said to have been caused. by the saine agency that brought abput the cnange )i coior. . -i-ms pnenpme- non wjll no doubt fvrnjs fpoo; fQr much scientjfig reflecitiou and. speeula tion..

God will judge you youwhited sepulchers who strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. I have lieen told that I have lost friends at the south. I never had any. They were never worthy of my friendship. They were neither Christians nor good citizens. I hear the riiarch of eight million Ethio pians, and it will be an awful day when the burst loose in the black belt." My wife says that I had lietter take the flowers out of the greenhouse and maybe that will relieve me. I see that the first rose of summer has come forth in all its crimson beauty. A pair of tiny sparrows are drinking at the foun tain in the front yard. - They are yellow and black, akin to the canaries. A mockingbird is singing in a ncighlior's garden. Our flock of pigeons is sailing around in graceful curves. The pea cock is strutting : and spreading his magnificent tail and is happy in his vanity. The dog lies lazily on the blue grass and everything is happy that God has made except some miserable Ieople who are never happy unless' they are abusing something or finding fault with their neighbors. What a slack- trough the south is to that class up north. They Can differ with each other in politics and the tariff and re ligion . and the Philippine war, but when they get tired of quarrelling they say, "Well, now, let's hold up awhile and abuse those nigger killers down south.' ' That's a harmomzer. An other preacher, Dr. Gunsaulus, deliv ered the oration at Galena in honor pf General Grant s birthday and made it apiear that Grant was the author and finisher of emancipation and negro suffrage and it would be scarilege to permit thetiallot to be taken away .from him while the shadow of that monu ment is over the natiori. Oh, my country! What an idiot! Everybody who reads his history knows that Grant was a slave owner and lived off the hire of his negroes up to the very day of their freedom -and he '.uniformly declared he was not fighting for the negro, but for the union. Let the rev erend gentleman read in Appleton's "Cyclopedia of American Biography where General Grant s old father wrote to him at St. Iouis in May, 18G0, that if he couldent live off tile hire of his negroes he had lietter move to Galena and work in the tanyard. But I will take a brief rest again -in the garden, for my wife says the potato bugs have come and I - had lietter get ready to ItfMson them. She says they are almost as pestiferous as yankee preachers and are rnch nearer to us.

I hope the posse has got the negroeg and lynched them by this time.

Of course he dident mean those Puritans ho came to New England and went to mporting negroes and robbing the ndianB and burning witches. Mr. Stedman and Miss Hutchinson have eleven volumes of American literature and the second is devoted to thtise orrible witchcraft times when Increase Mather and Cotton Mather and Sainuel Swall and other saints hiul helpless women arrested and tried and hung for witchcraft. The whole procedure is in this volume and it makes the heart sick to reivi iiow'the poor creatures liegged for their Uvesand in their bust moments on the gallows denied their guilt. How as many as eight were hung at one time and many more at anous times and how oklJudgeSe wall afterwards rejiented ' and the twelve jurymen repented and published their rejientance and asked God to forgive their great sin, etc. One woman, Mary Watkins, who was a hired servant, white woman, was tried, but the evi dence was not quite suthcient to con- ict, and so they did not hang her, but sent her off to Virginia to be sold as a slave. This is only a little scrap of New England history, arid if any of their descendants is ashamed of it they have never said so to me. Those northern brethren are awful slow on atK)logie8.

Bill Arp: In The Revenue Art Invalid? Wilmington, N. C, May. 7. It IS learned upon 'what is considered good authority that able counsel in Wilming ton has lieen employed to resist the en forcement of the present revenue law on the ground that its manner of pas sage by the hist General Assembly was in conflict with section 14, Article 1 of the Constitution. It is claimed by counsel employed that reliable informa tion is in hand that when the bill came up for second reading in the Senate it was weighted down with thirty-six amendments and after it went back to the! House many of the amendments were concurred in and others rejected; that even when the bill came back to the Senate as aniened it was only read one time and passed one reading and was afterwards ratified. If this infor mation is correct, leading lawyers say the whole revenue act is invalid as the Supreme Court of North Carolina has several times decided that unless- a "bill of this character passed there readings on sepoiate days and the nays recorded in the second reading, the bi(J is void. If this opinion is correct the revenue will be derived under the act of 1899. AYCOCK SAYS THE LAW IS GOOD. Raleigh Cor. Cbarlottc Otj3eryr, Yo,ur carresrHindent to-day intwiew Governor Aycock in regard to the revenue act, its alleged unconstitution ality, etc. The Governor said: "I have no doubt the act is iall rigid. My. be lief is that eyen though the facts be as. started the courts will sustain it as a valjd law. If they do not, then there never has been a valid law since that provision went into the-constitution, that Is since 18G0. Section 23, article 2, of the constitution, says: 'A11 bills an,lrnl,iiAn..lf a WUlaUvo ahaii l A tii.A I; n panh before they pass, into laws." Almost " " 't""" llll is. nmnnitprJ nn ita vA .nr third reading and 'the amendment is n6t read three times, and never has been so read.

A gtsnl many of the Imys swl they was gwine too watch for it some night and speak to it; but somehow their hearts always failed em about dark. and holiody didn't go.' One day Bill Wilson come to town. and was aliout half corned'-down to Mr. tHarleys's store, when the txiyg got to ban ten n him aliout the ghost. "Ding d if I don t See who it isv" ses Bill; "I ain't afraid of no ghost that ever walked on the face of the yearth.". ith that some of em offered to liet him five dollars that he dassent g in side the graveyard after dark. "Done! ses Bill, "jest plank up yer money. But I'm to go jest-as I've a mind "to?" "Yes," ses the boys. . "And shoot the ghost if I see it?" ses he. '. "To be-shore." "And I'm to have a bottle of old Jimmaky, to keep me company ?" 'Yes," ses all of 'em. . ' oNuf setl," ses Bill. "Put up the stakes in Mr. Harley's hands. The money was staked ami the busi ness all fixed in no time. "Now," ses Bill, "giv me -a pair of pistols and pt me load em good myself, and1 I'll show you -whether I'm afraid of ghosts." Captain Skinner's big brass horse- pistols was sent for, and Bill loaded one of eni.up to the muzzle, and after get tin a bottle of licker in his -K-ckct. and takin two or three o,- good - stout horns to raise his courage, he waited till it was dark. Every Ixxly in town was wide awake to see how the thing would turn out, and some of the, wim- min was monstrous consarned for Ilill for fear he'd git carried off by the ghost shore enough. Just about dark Bill sot out for the grave yard, with whole heap of fel lers, who went to see him to the gate, so he couldn t give cm no dodge. "Look out now, Bill; you know ghosts is monstrous dangerous things to fool with. Keep your eyes skinned, Isi II, or you re a goner, sed the txivs as they was leavih him at the gate. Never you mind, ses Bill. "But remember! -I'm to shoot, a'nd r-" "To be shore," ses all of 'em. Bill marched into the middle of the graveyard, brave as a lyon, singing "Shiny night as loud as loud lie could but riionstrous out of tune-, and tuck a seat on one of tle grave stones. The graveyard in. Pineville stands on the side of a hill aliout half a mile from town. The fence is a monstrous high post and rail fence, whar ther is a jarie thicket of aliout a acre, iu .which ther aint ho graves The night was pretty dark, and Bil thought it was monstrous cold, bq he kept takin drinks every now and then to keep hunseif warm, and singtn all te aonga anq salm tunes ho k now'd to keen awake.

In spite of the appalling disaster at Jacksonville.the people of that city dis play a bra vv spirit and are hopefully liKiking to tlie future.' : American grit and determination were never more ad mirably illustrab'd than ; in the two Southern. cities Galveston and Jackson ville. A day or two after the storm which swept over their city the people of Galveston announced their inten tion to rebuild. Jacksonville has lieen almost wiixl out by tire, yet the citi zens of the Florida metroiiolig are al , . . v .... ready planning the new city which is to rise from the ashes of the old. tti is the cheery note which the Jackson ville Times-Union of Monday sound "This morning the new Jacksonville is luirri. Many heart are heavy and some mourn a deeper Ui that that which, coines from the de struction oi proiierty, but the weak- hearted are not to' be found among us, and U would seem also that weariness unknown. To work w ith high spirits and willing hands. The new Jacksonville is born this morning anil we who write and we who read stand about to assist at the christening This is the spirit which dares all things and overcomes all olistacles. A community --animated by such a spirit does not waste time in mourning over disaster, but sets sturdily to work to re jiair its losses. This is evidently w hat Jacksonville intends to do. No doubt the new city to lie built on the site of the old will lie in every way wortly ttf such a community.
