A long list of wrecks and fatalities are reported from it. A score of bodies have been washed ashore. While the storm was raging falling walls and flying debris added to the loss of life. Vessels are repprted to be ashore all along the coast and many are known to have foundered with a probable loss of all hands. Passenger and mail service across the channel has been suspended. WITH DOGS AND GUNS. A Party of Greensboro Hunters are Down in Chatham County. There'll be a hustling and scattering time among Chatham county rabbits the next day or " two. And if there should happen to be a fox lurking ing around anywhere he'd bettercrawl into a deep, deep hole; and those wild turkeys, which escaped the hunter's gun before Thanksgiving, had better roost high. The hunters are off. They are armed with double-barrel ed shot guns. And they carried their dogs along. They are real, genuine hunters, too, and they say that Andrew Brooks can kick a rabbit out of every bunch of grass or broom-sege in the old field. This may be true and it may not be true. A Greensboro merchant says ty's true. Any way, no one will dis pute that there are plenty of rabbits in Chatham. The party is composed of Messrs. R. W., T. T. and A. F. Brooks, and they left on the noon train today for Ore Hill with their guns and a cage of dogs. We wish for them a pleasant outing. Association of Academies.

Kicked Things at Rate of $i a Kick, Locked up his Keeper and Left. A member of the Observer force has received a letter from Red Buck, now in charge of the Keeley Institutue in Washington, from which the follow ing extract is made: We opened in good style last Thurs day with a well furnished house, a first-class physician and one patient with red hair. ! Well, I have cut sprouts on the ditch in July; I have studied English under Dr. Hume; I have had hand to hand combats with toughs; I have been challenged to mortal combat by Buck Newton; I have attended a negro fes tival, and I have fled from a republi can convention, but never before have I passed such a night as I did the night after the reception of that Kee ley patient. He gave me the first real good fright of my life. He was brought in late in the afternoon by his brother and a bosom friend. He was crazed by drink and he was an enemy to all things in sight. His brother gave me strict orders not to let him escape. That was the easiest thing of his life. Before anybody was aware of it he was in the street. Again he was brought in by his brother. That time I went out and employed an ex-policeman as an attendant and turned the patient over to him with strict ffders not to allow him to escape. Then the doctor in charge permitted the fellow to get nearer the table on which he kept his medicines. The patient kicked the table itito the air with great force and the medicines went to the wind. I went to supper and left the attendant in charge. Before I was through the ser vant boy came running and said that the patient had locked the attendant in a room and was out and gone; es caping throught the remains of a win dow that he had sent his feet through. Truly he had fled. Again he was cap tured. He kicked several more times at a dollar a kick. His brother told us to watch him close or he would jump from the third floor and break his neck. The attendant watched him all night, but I could not sleep for fear that he would kill himself. But he is all right now. He is making a good patient. Charlotte Observer. SUIT IN PROGRESS TODAY.

Wilmington, N. C, Nov. 27. On Thanksgiving Day, Nathan Willis, a colored man living near Town Creek, Brunswick county, was arrested on the charge of murdering a young white man by the namepf Stephens. Ste phens was found in the vicinity of W ample, N. C, with a gunshot wound in the back. Thursday a mob was raised by the farmers in the country near the Wac camaw river. , Willis was taken from the sheriff, carried into the woods and chained between two pine trees. Lightwood was then piled around him and he was burned to death, thus suf fering death to pay the penalty for his crime. After the murder suspicion at once rested on the colored man who had been seen in neighboring communities wearing some of Stephens' garments. He had also been seen driving the ox cart in which the murdered man.was last seen alive, and $25 in money was found on his person, that, it was sup posed, he took from his victim's pock ets.

Some Greek fish ermen who were out some two miles to the eastward of Gooseberry Island in the open sea on Wednesday were as tonished to see a deer swimming near their boat. They started toward the animal, and one of them seized at by the head. Although apparently ex hausted, the deer put up a lively fight, and it was only after a hard tussle that it was finally hauled aboard the boat. The Greeks didn't do much fish ing after that, but set sail for New port with their prize. It is supposed that the deer escaped from one of the private herds in this region, although it has not yet called for. A couple of years ago one 6trayed from its reservation at James town and took to the water. It swam straight out to sea and was picked up several miles from land. . N. C. Fourth Class Postmasters.
