SELLS WHISKY BY TBX BA2KEL.
Man Drive Into Hitching Lot and Disposes
. of Large Quantity.
Greensboro Industrial News.
From a man who witnessed the
sale of five barrels of whisky in a
hitching lot here a few days ago
comes the information that Greens
boro is not so dry a town as it may
seem to some. Through legally dry,
there are those who manage to buy
and sell. According to a statement
made by the gentleman refered to
above, five barrels of whisky were
sold within less than a block of the
business center of the town, the sale
being made in a very public place
and without effort at concealment.
Although two policemen - passed
within seventy-five feet of the place
while the sale was going on, the re
tailer was not detected.
On the day of the occurrence just
about dusk a wagon drawn by two
horses was driven into a hitching
lot in the city by a farmer, who,
after unhitching and feeding his
horses, took his ration box from the
wagon and ate his supper. This
done, he lit his pipe and waited for
darkness. The reporter's informant
was watching from his place of busi
ness and was surprised to see the
owner of the wagon throw back the
cover of the vehicle and disclose five
whisky barrels, which he arranged
so that the faucets were easily at
hand. He then waited a short time
onger, until customers began to ap
pear.
The witness said he had never seen
so great an- amount of whisky dis
posed of in sb short a time. The
buyers appeared from all sides with
vesselsTf every description. Some
of them even carried the whisky
away in water buckets and others
appeared with fruit cans and ordina
ry tin buckets. The sale was con
ducted quickly, very little being said
by either the customers or the man
doing the dispensing, and at the end
of two hours the barrels were empty.
A short time, before the barrels
were empty two members of the
police force passed the place, and,
although they were not more than
seventy-five feet from "the wagon,
saw nothing wrong. As soon as the
officers were out of sight the farmer
hitched his team to the wagon and
drove away as if the occurrence was
anything but unusual.
Hard on the New Wife.
'The sexton of a quaint old Eng-
sh church " said the traveler.
"showed me through the building
one afternoon, and as we were de-
parting,-pomted to the Bible on the
lectern and smiled.
" 'A mippr thine hanDened last
Sunday in connection with that Bible,'
he said. We had a strange minister
preaching here, and when he opened
the book he came upon a notice ana
read it out with all due solemnity.
It was a request for the congrega
tion's sympathy and prayers for John
Q. Griggs, who had been deeply
afflicted by the loss of his wife!'
"The sexton paused and cnucKiea
softly.
" 'Yon rpo. sir ' he said, our re
gular minister had been using that
nanpr as a hook-marker more than a
year, and John Q. Griggs, in a natty
grey suit, sat in a front pew witn
the new wife he had taken just a
week before.'" .
Isaac was a horse trader. He had
a number of horses on hand and was
short of feed. He sent young Ikey
to a nearby farmer to inquire what
tie would charge to board the horses.
kev came back with the report tnat
the farmer asked three dollars per
head a month." You must get them
down, it's too much, talk to 'em
again." He went and came back
saying that the farmer was aown to
two dollars. He was dispatched off
acrain. the Drice was still too high.
The farmer came down to one dollar
this time and next time to fifty cents
per head. "Ah" said the happy
father, "Ikey .you're shmart; fifty
cents is cheap enough, but go and
ask the farmer how much he will- al
ow me for the manure." Ikey came
back and said: ' 'The farmer said that
at that price there wouldnt be any
manure. .

TWO MIRUTES HEALTH TALES.
Farmers Should Be Tha Healthiest PeopU
in The World Why An Taty not.
E. L. Vleueen. In Farm and Fireside.
"Farmers ough to be the healthiest
folks in the world; but the fact is
that the country physician has the
best all-round practice of anyone' I
The doctor was right when he said
the farmer folks ought to be almost
immune from disease. Think of the
pure water they might haye to drink!
Look at the fresh air and pure food
they have always within their reach!
The air they breathe is pure uid
untainted by any dangerous things
that come between the city man and
good health. The farmer's house
to be free from the many defects
which work such havoc to his city
neighbor.
Mo3t of the sicknes on the farm is
due to ignorance of the simple law
of health or to a disregard of those
laws. Stop long enough to think of
those laws. I wish they might be
posted in every farm house the whole
wide country over:
Keep the source of the water
supply clean.
Do not permit the drains about the
house to become clogged. Do all you
can to make the premises clean.
Diseases has its home in filth.
Eat only wholesome well -prepared
food. Hosts of farmer folks are not
as careful here as they should be.
Avoid exposure to storms. If you
get wet, put off the cold, damp
garments, and throughly dry your
self the first thing you do.
If you do not feel well, do not take
drugs, but do stop eating, and drink
all the fresh water you can. Even
the animals at the barn know enough
not to keep on eating when they do
not feel well. Are we less intelligent
than they are? .
rinally, use good, sound common
sense about your house, yourclothing.
your food, and your doctor.
In every household the box of pills
is the never-rfailing panacea for all
stoppages of the bowels. But that
is the most foolish thing imaginable.
What then.' Stop eating and drink
plenty of water until the system has
has been purified of the dangerous
stuff that clogs the alimentary canal.
I know of one farmer that had the
habit of taking pills. ,jle began with
one or two and kept on until he
would take six or seven great pills at
one dose.- The more he took the
more he needed to bring about the
desired affect. All the time nature
and common sense would have helped
him out of his trouble better and
with much less danger, if he had only
given them a chance.
The Famine in China.
1
Fairbroer's Everything.
There are to-day in China fifteen
million human beings - heathen they
may be but human still, dying of
hunger and diseases because of a
famine in China. Great rains ruined
the crops and these .fifteen million
people are dying like sheep. -The
whole world has been called upon for
relief those on the scene say it is
impossible to describe the suffering
and we, as a nation speedily send
millions to the relief of the sufferers.
But because it so far away; because
the Chinaman is not of our kind
there seems to be little response to
the wild call for help. Fifteen
millions of people are a great many
more than one can comprehend
but every little will help in the
matter of purchasing food, and
those who can afford, and who can
not, should send something if only
a few dimes.
Pat Goes a-Huntlng.
An Irishman, who wasn't much of
a hunter, went out to hunt one day,
and the first thing he saw to shoot
at was a blue jay sitting saucily on
the top of a fence. He blazed away
at the bird, and then walked over to
pick it up. What he happened to
to find there was a dead frog which
he raised carefully at arm's length,
looking at it with a puzzled air.
Finally he remarked:
"Well, begobs. but ye was a devil
of a f oine lookin' bird, bef ur Oi blew
ther fithers off o' yerse."

WALKS 0 ACROSS TEX GKXAT CATA
Bev. &. H. Wbltaker la Keen and Ototerttr.
As a reminiscence, I want to tell
my young readers, how, forty-eight
years ago, the whole land was thrill
ed by the feats of a Frenchman who
came over here
in 1859, forty-eight years ago,
thousands of people stood On the
shores of the Niagara towitness one
the most daring feats that was ever
performed by any man. It was walk
ing across the great cataract on a
cable by Charles Blond in, the cele
brated French rope walker, car rv ire
a man on his back. Some men will
repeat their daring feats, but Blon
din would not repeat that. Though
be crossed on the rope several times.
he could not be induced to carry an
other man: indeed it was hardly pos
sible that another man could have
been found who would have been
willing to have taken so perilous a
ride. For months the feat of Blondin
was the startling sensation all over
the country, and many a boy had his
tight rope stretched from fence to
fence, and even from house top to
house top imitating, in a small way
Blondin's Niagara feat.
In the "Scrap-Book" I .recently
read a very thrilling account of that
most thrilling scene, written by
Henry M. Colcord, the man whom
Blondin carried on his back across
that raging chasm, and who had
never walked a rope, had never been
suspended in such a dreadful posi
tion, and knew, therefore, that he
was committing himself to the fate
of Blondin, whatever that might be.
Here is what Colcord said of himself,
many years after he made that peril
ous voyage:
You ask what it feels like to be
twelve hundred feet in mid-air, over
a raging torrent, he said I cannot
describe it better than by saying
that the first sensation was an over
whelming one, in which it was hard
to separate awe from fear. Then
there came what may be best termed
an absolute cessation of feeling.
Before starting from the shore
Blondin told me to "look up." My
arms were about his neck and my
legs were slung in hooks at his waist.
Out he went over that horrible gulf.
1 heard the roar of the water below
and the hum which ran through the
crowd of -one hundred thousand
spectators. As we cleared the brink
the hum ceased. Unable to resist.
I stole one glance down at the black
waters. It seemed, for an instant
that I was poised above the entire
universe. Then I looked up. Blondin
walked on steadily, pausing for a
brief moment at each point where
the guy rope joined the mam cable.
At the last resting place before we
reached the slender, swaying span,
Blondin said to me:
"Harry, you are no longer Colcord;
you are Blondin. Until I clear this
span be a part of me, mind, body and
soul. If I sway, sway with me. Do
not attempt to do any balancing
yourself. If you do we will both go
down to our death. -
"I had dismountpd wh51 hp was
talking to me and stood with one
foot on the cable and both hands
resting on his shoulders. I climbed
back into my perch and Blondin
started across the unstable part of
the line. He swung to the right and
then to the left. Each time I went
with him as though we were mould
ed into one piece, with immoveable
parts. I knew afterward that the
line beneath his feet were swaying
horribly, and that to the people on
shore it seemed that tirhe and again
our bodies were parallel to the rush
ing Niagara rapid3 below.
Blondm 8 marvelous skill, howev
er, and the precision with which he
manipulated his pole brought us each
time to the upright. The unprotect
ed center was passed, all. but a few
feet, Blondin was now running just
as a boy runs in order the better to
keep his balance when walking a
railroad track. We were nearing
the point where the joining-place of
the first cruv-line from the ODDosite
shore offered us a moment's breath
ing space. Blondin's joot was plant
ed on the knot which joined the lines.
At that instant the rope was jerked
from beneath his feet. : How he
caught it and saved us I never knew.
Before I could realize much of any
thing he was running again. Some
gambler, interested pecuniarily in
our deaths, had cut the guy-rope
hoping to hurl us in' the river. He
did not dare to repeat the attempt,
and when the second point of con
nection was reached we rested safe
ly. Blondin stood there like a man
of marble, though the agony in his
mind produced by the shock a mo
ment before. s had brought great
beads of sweat to his brow.
"We reached the shore safely, but
before we were well there we could
the people in the crowd, even at
a distance from the edge of the gulf,
begin to stretch out their arms as if
they would draw us in from the peril.
The president of the New York Cen
tral railroad presented me with a
check for one thousand dollars, for
crossing the Blondin, and then offer
ed me a like amount if 1 would
promise never to do it again."
Colcord didn't say whether he ac
cepted the last offered check, but I
imagine he did not need to be hired
to repeat that foolhardy peril.
What must have been the deprav
ity of that gambler who, for the sake
of winning a bet. cut that guy rope,
with the hope of seeing Blondin and
Colcord dashed to death.

MORflANTON. N. -C, April .1.-A
strange story has Just reached here
in connection with the fire, that have
raged-, on south Mountains near
Ilurkemont, about eight miles from
Morganton. On last Saturday ., a
numbejr of lumbermen who had Uxn
into ttwmountaina and were on their
return, came to the home, of Mr.
Singerfclt, a cripple, living nevera!
miles from town. The lumliermen
were Informed by the wife in
Pingerfelt, that' her husband had
mysteriously diHappcarvd ami could
not be found.
, Aa the fires in the mountain were
drawing near the Flngerfelt home
the men advised Mrs. .Singerfclt. to
llec for safety, but all in vain.
Following this, news has jtrt leen
received that the Singerfclt home
was destroyed by fire and that no
trace can be found of cithers, Mrs.
Singerfelt, children or her missing
husband.
The supposition is that the mother
and children were burned to dtrath
while they slept.
No small noise sounds a bad as
that made by squeaky shoes.
