And The Train Carried The Candl. dates Away. The Southern depot seemed com pletely surrounded this morning, just before the 8:50 train from Charlotte came in, by republican populist com bine candidates and their colored fol lowers. Among them were Cyrus Thompson, populist state chairman, Judge Spencer B. Adams, candidate for congress in this district, Wm. D. Merritt, of Roxboro, the "pretty boy" upon whom they are trying to force the judgeship of this district, Solicitor W. P. Bynum, candidate for re-election and a few rep-pop candidates for county offices. A small, jet black, slew-footed negro with a rag-bag mustache, never looked nor felt more important than when he lightly knocked the cigar ashes from the front of Judge Adams coat and the Judge looked around to see if any one was looking. A few minutes con fab among themselves and with the colored brethren and the 8:50 trains left for the north and east and the poli ticians were scattered to parts un known. Building Notes. Mr. A. F. Brooks, who is superin tending the building of Wharton & McAllister's new office building on East Market street, is working a large force of masons, and the work is being done rapidly. The work on the new depot has now progressed far enough to make a show. The masons are doing swift and ele gant work, and the beautiful pressed brick and granite will make the pret tiest building in the city. The wall is high enough for the windows to be put in and they are large and of artistic shape. The walls of Mrs. Sol. Weill's new building, on South Elm 9treet, are go ing up at a rapid rate. The front of this building will be of pressed brick. Mrs. Weill has not yet decided on the plan of the building she will erect by this one, but will put one there as soon as this is completed. fir.

"If 1 Ever Take a Drink Again," Said Patrick Kelly, "I Hope I Shall Be Struck Dumb." Atlanta, Sept. 28 The Constitution brings to light the following case, which is one of the most remarkable on record : "If I ever take a drink again," said Patrick Kelly, a boiler maker, about three weeks ago, "I hope I shall be struck dumb." Yesterday afternoon at & o'clock Kelly entered a saloon with some friends and ordered a drink of "good old corn whiskey." The white liquor was poured out and Kelly and his friends clinked the glass es as they prepared to drink to each other's good health. As soon as the whiskey was swal lowed Kelley turned away and walked to the rear of the saloon. One of his friends followed him and asked him a question. Kelly moved his lips, but made no reply. The question was re peated, and again the lips moved with out a sound being uttered. Seizing a pencil and a slip of paper, Kelly wrote, as his hand, trembled with excitement : "I am struck dumb." He was wild with fright and sank upon a box in the saloon. Tie ambu lance was summoned and he was taken to the hospital. The physicians at the hospital made an examination, and all they could say was : ''There has been some sort of paral ysis of the tongue. The case is a strange one and we Will have to watch it awhile before we can say positively just what is the matter with the man. Kelly has been a man addicted to drnk for a number of years. He re sides on Foundry street and earns good wages as a boiler maker. Every now and then he would get on a spree and be has been arrested by the police on the charge of drunkenness. He had many frieuds who thought much of him in spite of the fact that he drank at times to excess. They always help ed him when he was in trouble and got him out of the poliee barracks. He generally had the money to pay his fine when he was tried. A number of times Kelly promised his friends to stop drinking, it is said: and about three weeks ago he got on a larger spree than usual and a friend paid his police court line, and then it was that Klly made the vow never to take another drink. It is said he meant to keep his vow. and it was believed he would. He spoke earnestly when he uttered the wish that he might be struck dumb if whiskey passed his lips again. It is said he drank some beer last Saturday saying he had only promised not to drink whiskey. The step from beer to wiskey is always short when a man lets the former break into his resolutions and so Kelly must have found it when he entered the saloon on Decatur street last evening to take a drink of whiskey. What puzzles the physicians is that Kelly's health seems all right and nothing serious can be found the mat ter with him except the loss of speech. He tries to talk, but no sound comes from his lips. It looks as if he frames the words with his tongue and no sound results. It is more loss of voice than a paralysis of the tongue. He is simply dumb. The case will be watched closely by the physicians and his friends. A Minister's Sentence. ' Fort Worth, Tex., Sept. 28 Rev. G. E. Morrison, pastor of the Metho dist Episcopal church at Panhandle City, who has been on trial at Vernon for a week on the charge of murdering his wife October 10, 1897, was today found guilty and his punishment fixed at death. Morrison administered strychnine to his wife after returning from church. The jury was out only two hours. Before the death of his wife Mor rison was engaged to wed Miss Annie Whittlesey, of Topeka, Kan., and when intercepted he was at her home. It developed in the trial of the case that Morrison was infatuated with the Topeka young lady, and he chose to put his wife out of the way in order that he might marry Miss Whittlesey. An appeal will be taken. On the feet of many men in Greens boro you will find our ''Foot Form" shoes. They are perfect models in the way of "Foot Gear." Try a pair. Carolina Shoe Co.
