ANOTHER FALSE PROPHET. A Negro Telling People That Winton is to be Destroyed. Winston Sentinel. The Sentinel is told that a colored man is going around in the north ern part of the city telling illiterate people that Winston is to be destroyed on Thursday next claiming that the Lord ias told him so and advised him to notify the people. A number of cit izens are said to be alarmed over the report. This reminds us of a "false prophet" who appeared in Asheville and other places a few years ago and succeeded in getting the people to give their property to him. The "prophet" disposed of the gifts and skipped be fore the time arrived for the place to be destroyed. Ruilding a Town. Weekly News. Lenoir will soon have a brand new suburb.

Sampson Crushed Cervera's Fleet by the "Absent Treatment" Method Several Plans for the Medal are Suggested. Washington Post. Perhaps we should say the Santiago modal; but what of that? Is not Samp son Santiago, and vice versa?' Decid edly, we shall adhere to our original designation. It is the Sampson medal, for true. And apropos of this great artistic and historic work, we have a burning message from an estimable fel lew-citizen who has given the sub ject much deep thought, evolving vari ous more or less attractive theories: "I have viewed with great apprehen sion the labors of the medal committer of the na-y for fear the truths of his tory might not be fully emblazoned for the benefit of coming ages, but had twisted that you, as a publicist, would set them right. You have mov ed in the right direction, and I may say you have 'done noble.' "But you have not considered the medal in ail its phases. As a result of deep study and research I have evolved the exact thing. The face should contain 'the Matanzas mule' in the agony of death. This would re call to the American people both the adom-al and his victory, as well ss having ihe jaw bone, the ancient fami ly weapon, in supporting distance; it would be what might be called multum in pan o, which is important when you onlyhave a medal upon which to re cord such a multitude of events. "The legend might well be 'Fourth of July' in circular form at the top, and 'I done it all' vis-a-vis. "In tender regard for the admiral's modesty, the reverse of the medal should be blank, to recall to the coun try his eminent services at Santiago, but if this could be overcome, a beau tiful ? might be engraven in token of his well-merited prize money, encircled with the words, 'A nation's gratitude to her Absentee,' 'Court Claim Reports, Vol. xxxv,' or a long-distance tele phone, that would illustrate at once how true naval genius can instantly work modern scientific development into naval warfare; encircled above should be ' 'Tis distance lends enchantment to the view, And fills our pockets with the money, too.' and on a rising scroll, en-bas, 'Re portibus Casualtibus.' This would free the medal from any suspicion of its being allegorical and preserve the truth of history in all its pristine vi gor." There is stuff both ingenious and profound food for the liveliest reflec tion. There is enough of it to inspire the creation of a dozen medals and the opportunity to take your choice with out paying a cent of money. We are free to confess that still further thoughts have at times occurred to us. Why not, for example, a life-like rep resentation of the Merrimac on the reverse? There would be a certain subtlety in this, for the sinking of the Merrimac was Sampson's own idea. If it had been done well, instead of clumsily, the Spanish fleet could not have left Santiago harbor on July 3, 1S98, or for a long time afterward. As it was a bungle, however, and Cervera did not go out, what more appropri ate that that Sampson should have been absent from the engagement he had tried so hard to make impossible? Certainly there is much cause for thought in this idea of Sampson and the Merrimac. Again, since we must have Sampson to begin with, and the only remain ing question relates to the device upon the other side, why would it not be a happy expedient to embellish the re verse of the medal with some symbol of the cult now familiarly kiown as "mental healing?" There is a. philoso phy most attractive to the enlightened mind, and one of its chief features has received in Sampson's Santiago victory an unanswerable illustration. We re fer to the feature termed "absent treat ment." No one can deny that Samp son crushed Cervera's fleet, if he hacl anything to do with the episode at all, by absent treatment.

Suspicious Actions of Two Men Who are Belieyed to be the Principals in Attempt to Steal Shipment of Gold. New York. Since the arrival here a few days ago of Arthur Carl, chief of policesof Breman, Germany, on the steamship Lahn, some inside informa tion concerning the mjsterious gold bar robbery which occurred last April aboard the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse has leaked out. Thus far but one arrest has been made in connection with the crime, but the prisoner,Theodore Magers, the bed room steward, is believed to have been only a tool of shrewd men who planned to reap a large quantity of yellow bul lion by the plundering of the treas ure vault aboard the liner. Magers, who got the reward for finding tne stolen gold, is locked up in Germany. The North-German Lloyd officials when the robbery was reported offered a reward of $2,000 for the missing gold bars, and three days after the vessel reached Bremen, Magers, claimed that while cleaning the woodwork in one of the second cabin passageways he found the bullion hidden on a protrud ing cornice back of some steam pipes. The reward was paid to Magers. According to the story now told, Magers left the ship, saying that he was going to have a good time with his sweetheart who lives in Bremen. He did not return to the Kaiser der Gros se before she started back for New York, but a week or so afterwards he put in his appearance at the Bremen pier in a deplorable condition. He explained that while on the way to see his sweetheart he fell in with a man who had been a second cabin passen ger on the Wilhelm der Grosse, and that the latter hypnotized and robbed him of the reward money. He wander ed about for ten days with the strang er, whose name he professed not to know, and one day broke the hyp notic spell by jumping into the water at Amsterdam, Holland, to which city they had traveled. He was rescued, and being without funds, had to work his way back to Bremen as best he could. The detectives suspecting that the place where Magers said he had found the gold bars was not their hiding place again questioned the bed room steward and as he made conflicting statements and damaging admissions, he was ar rested on suspicion. Before Magers was arrested, the French detectives got information about two strange men, believed to be Americans, who had for a couple of days chartered a small boat and in the craft loitered about the entrance to Cherbourg harbor. They were sus pected to be in the conspiracy to steal the gold aboard the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse and asked about the route of that vessel when it arrived from America to land her Cherbourg pas sengers, saying that they wanted to intercept the vessel and get a message from a friends on board who were bound for Germany. They explained also that it had been arranged that a message would be dropped before the alarm about the robbery in the steam ship was raised, but they have since been traced back to the United States via Southampton. Some of the best Berlin detectives have been traveling on the Kaiser Wil helm der Grosse as saloon and second cabin passengers, seeking information about the mysterious gold robbery, and they are expected back on that vessel when she arrives here tomorrow.
