A PLEASANT TRIP.
And Night Spent Among The Hills
of Randolph.
Leaving the city on the noon train
yesterday we alighted at Liberty and
found the village almost deserted.
Every available vehicle had been
pressed into service to carry the people
to preaching in the country. The hotel
man, after serving a tempting bill of
fare.did all he could to get up a team,
but failed. The writer, in company
with Mr. R. W. Finlator, made the
rounds of the town without success until
we found that prince of gentlemen and
sterling citizen Mr. M. J. Reitzel.
In a few moments he hitched up his
excellent family horse and we were
soon "happy on the way" to Frank-
linsville. Mr. Patterson, a good citi
zen, went along with another buggy
and carried a driver to take Mr.
Reitzel' s team back to Liberty.
We found a hospitable home with
Mr. Finlator's Aunt Lumsden, where
we spent a pleasant night. Along this
Deep River section of Randolph are
some of her best, most thrifty and
prosperous citizens. With magnifi
cent and beautiful surroundings and
abundant water-power the numerous
cotton mills along the river are doing
well and the operatives seem contented
and happy.
We anticipated a visit to what is
known as "Faith Rock" but the in
creasing rain deprived us of the pleas
ure. That rock, tradition says, is the
spot where, in revolutionary times, a
man named Hunter, who wascondemn
ed to be shot by the Tories, by a little
manoevering, mounted Col. Fanning's
horse and escaped, riding the surface
of this rock at an angle of forty-five
degrees, plunged into the swollen
stream, swam across and escaped, af
terwards fighting under Gen. Greene
at the memorable battle of Guilford
Court House.
These are matters of history, tradi
tion only fixing the place where Hun
ter's daring leap for life was made.
A THEFT IN JAIL.
A Prisoner Steals and Conceals from
Fellow Prisoner.
A thief in jail is not a strange sight,
but a theft in jail is an unusual occur
rence. A case of this kind has been
brought to light in this city. About
three weeks ago several prisoners were
confined in the same cell and one day
a federal prisoner who had been sen
tenced to the penitentiary for one year
reported to the jailer that one of his
fellow prisoners had stolen fifteen dol
lars and a gold ring from him.
Every prisoner in jail was imme
diately searched but money and ring
were not found. They were searched
a second time with the same result and
the jailer then thought the prisoner
was lying.
Lon Smith, who was in the cell, told
that Will Harris had stolen the mon
ey, a ten and a five dollar bill, which
he placed in a small crack and covered
the crack at that place with soap. Soon
afterwards the cell was whitewashed
and this concealed the crack entirely.
Just before his trial Smith says Har
ris removed the money with a wire.
When the men were searched Harris
dashed the ring through a window and
it was afterwards found in the jail
yard.
Harris was charged with stealing a
coat from a negro here. Immediately
after his acquittal he left town and
has not since been seen, but if he is
caught this case will doubtless go hard
with him.
DEATH IN COMPANY D.
Member of Captain Gray's Company
Died Friday.
A message was received here Satur
day bearing the sad intelligence that
a member of Captain Percy Gray's
company is dead. Sample Barber, a
son of Frank Barber, of Stokesdale.
aged about 19 years, enlisted in Com
pany D to serve his country and his
flag; but the cruel and resentless rav
ages of disease has claimed him and
Friday about 1 o'clock he died of ty
phoid fever at the hospital at Land's
End, near Port Royal, S. C.
Mr. H. G. Moore, an uncle of the
deceased, was on his way to Port Roy
al in answer to a message that young
Barber was critically ill, but the grim
messenger, death, reached the fevered
cot first, and when Mr. Moore arrived
he found only the lifeless form of the
brave young man who left his home
and friends for his country's honor.
H. & L. Men, Notice!

How Sam Lucas Spends His Time In
Jail.
Sam Lucas, the murderer of Henry
Wood, now occupies a comparatively
comfortable cell in jail. Today his
wife sent him two quilts, a pillow,
some shirts and pants, a looking glass
and a number of dishes. His meals
are prepared at O'Connor's restau
rant and paid for by his wife.
A Telegram reporter went to his
coll with the jailor this morning when
he carried the quilts, et -. Sam was
sitting by the window reading the
Bible and said when he heard the
locks on his cell door click, he thought
the jailor wa9 coming after him and
was frightened. Although he has ap
pealed he seems to have a little hope
and feels that his days are numbered.
He was asked no questions and said
very little except a few words to the
jailer about having his cell cleaned up
and when the jailer promised that this
should be done he re-opened his Bible
took his seat and again began to
read.

little girl was brought me who could
not see a letter four inches square
acros s a small room and yet she was
compelled to work by the side of a
child who could see clearly a letter i
inch square the same distance. If your
child has been showing signs of weak
or defective eyes they may be a great'
deal worse than you have any idea.
Better .bring her in and have her eyes
looked after before school begins.
