There are but few, if any, persons living the State whose longevity of life of life has reached its present limits and whose men al and physical powers are so wel preserved, as those of "Aunt Lucy," a former slave of Colonel Brown of Mecklenburg, Va. an interview with this remarkable old negress a few days ago, it was learned that she was removed from Virginia to Granville county, this State several years ago prior to the meteoric showers of 1833, which occured in the early hours of the morning when she thought the world was "afire." 8he states that at the time she was a married woman and mother of her oldest son, Joe Kelly, now living in Hen derson in his 8oth year. It she was 18 years of age at the time of his birth, she must have been born in 1808, which would make her 103 years of age. She is sprightly speaks distinctly and, for one of her cast, is quite intelligent and far from being in her dotage. Ashtville Boose Emptied in River. Catawba News. .

There isn't a head of it in his 40 acres of Fulcaster. But he noticed something peculiar. About one third of the crop is smooth head, and there hasn't been a grain of anything but ' bearded wheat on his farm in 10 years. Wheat, says me snerin, is gooa mis year, pronouncing "good" with that satisfactory sound that a man mixes in when he means it About one-fourth of Catawba's crop was cut last week. This week all of it will be cut, weather being propitious; and everything else win be nuisnea up save spring oats. - . :-..v ..... Asheville Gazette-News. In the presence of a large crowd of people, assembled on the new high bridge across the French Broad river, including many members of The Asheville W. C, T. XL, police officers and Judge Junius u. Adams, of the city po lice court, and numbering per haps several hundreds, between 2,500 and 4,000 bottles of intoxi cants recently seized under the search and seizure law and order ed destroyed, were smashed against the central pier of the bridge and the liquid sent on its way down the historic French Broad to the Gulf of Mexico. The destroying of the thousands of bottles of corn whiskey, beer, ale, brandy and gin, was an inter esting and novel affair. It was at once an occasion of gladness lor the good women of Asheville, who have labored many years for the banishment and destruction of liquor, and a cruel moment for the thirsty, who recently have been deprived even of their "mornins morning. " Especially for the members of the W. C. T. U. was the destruction of the whiskey an event. It brought to them much happiness to see bottle after bottle of the firey flued flung over the concrete railing of the bridge and smashed against the great pier at the waters edge. And they were participants, too. The officers in charge of the affair courteously asked the ladies to assist in the "slaughter" and they gladly ac cepted the invitation. Incident ally not one bottle thrown by the ladies "missed fire." They hit the "bull's eye" every crpek and a smile overspread their faces as the sound of broken glass reached their ears and the "fire water" went trickling into the river. The Orphan Class. Died At County Home. f On Tuesday afternoon Alexan der Propst died at the County Home and was buried at McXend rie church Thursday, Rev, J. H. Robertson conducting the funeral services. This unfortunate young man was the son of Mr. John Propst and was about 25 years of age. For some time he has been a victim of epilepsy. Mrs. E. O. Anderson returned home Tuesday after spending sev eral weeks in Birmingham Ala., the guest of her sister Mrs. J. A. Gerbam. , This Singing Class from the Ox ford Orphanage has started on its second tour. The demand for the splendid entertainment which tnese cnnaren give nas grown so much that it has become neccesary to have the tour of the state divid into three trips instead of two, as has been the case for some years past This enables them to take two resting spells instead of one which makes the work much easi er on mem. The first trip, which was con fined to the north-eastern and piedmont section of the State was a most successful one, and the children's entertainment received most flattering compliments at every point visited. In fact we are informed that the invitations which come in, begging for a visit of the children, are so numerous as to make it at times, not a little embarrassing to the management to know how to accept all of them. This is so much the case that after effort is made by the management to show their appreciation of these invitations, some places have to be left-out. This is a noble cause and worthy of the help of all good people, but we feel sure that all who attend these concerts will get value re ceived for all they pay to hear them. Sherifi TPilltins Goes To Georgia Den tal Plate May Identify Him, Cleveland Star. A few days ago Sheriff Wilkins received two photographs from Swainsboro, Ga., of a negro sup posed to be Jim Lowery who mur dered chief of police R. S. Jones ten years ago. The picture resem bles Lowery, but the lips are too thick and he is too rough looking for the real murderer. However, in that length of time he i could have changed considerable. It is said the suspect fell out with his wife and she told the officer that he had killed an officer in North Carolina and could not return to this State. Correspondence says the negro nas a split toe like Low ery bore and with all of this iufor mation Snenfl Wilkins went to Georgia. He was accompanied by Dr. J. R. Osborne who did some dental work for Lowery and has an impression of his gums, v ; Hickory Chips. Next! Steel Trust its your turn! Attorney General Wickersham has started a boom in jails. One way to relieve a drought is to cut a lexas watermelon. Gee, but the old pipe does taste gcod after the tobacco trust decis ion. : T. R. says this country is ' in danger from materialism and pang anism. That may be, but danger from Rooseveltism has been reduc ed very much. Nearly every woman who has grown up children explains it by saying she was married very young. "Almost a child," she will add. "I have no use for liars," says Mr. Roosevelt Yet he finds they make good punching bags. ., - We're going to have lots of lo custs this year, while as for the honey well, the summer girl crop is unusually large, too. Washington dispatches indicate that all eyes were on Gov. Wood- row Wilson during the recent tour of the West Well he is worth watching. Lucia, N. C. June 14. The beautiful lawn at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James A. Kelly has never before been a more glorious spot than it was last Saturday evening when the young people of this and some of the surrounding towns, gathered there to have a "lawn party." From 8 to 11 o'clock various games were played and ice cream and cake were served. The "T" contest was tried. Several of the contestants figured every answer correctly, therefore it was necessary to draw straws. Miss Maggie Rogers drew the lucky straw and captured the prize for her partner, Mr. Boss Hipp. Those present were: Misses Mabel, Iva, Vida, Lola, May and Robena Mcintosh, Lula Belle, Lona and Edna Black, Maude, Bertie and Stella Hewitte, Effie Beatty, Maggie Rogers, Ora Davis, and Ada Connell.
