Two of my teacher loot their
lives in the war. One wan killed
ut Mauatwas, the other died in pris
on. I never bad a whipping at school,
hut there was a time when I thought
I ouht to have had one. I thought
so theu aud I still think so. land
another boy were seated side by
side iu the school room. The other
Ixiy had oceiiMou to vacate bis scat
tor a short w hile and rrueNted me
to let no oue take it in but absence.
Well, as soou as he was away, just
out of mischief, 1 occupied bis seat
myself. He was aoou bark aud
commenced wrangling for bis seat,
which I stubbornly refused to sur
render. The teacher, seeing the
disturbance, demanded an explana
tion. The other boy explained the
whole matter. I felt sure that I
would get a w hipping, but, instead,
be called the other boy up aud
gave him a severe whipping. Why
he was so put tint I never could un
stand. There was a boy in one of
the schools that I wt tended whom
we will cull Hill. He was a slov
enly, dull, halfwitted fellow and
it w as real amusing to hear his odd
and ipiaiut expressions of speech.
Often in the evening just after
school was out, just out of mischief,
I would invite Hill home with me.
His reply would invariably be,
"Oh, no." I kept up the invita
tion until one evening wheu' he
scented to take the matter into con
ttitleratiou, so he said to his young
er brother, "You take tie bucket, I
believe I'll go."
1 then begun to haul in, and
said, "No, Hill, you needn't go; 1
don't wau't you to."
"Oh, yes," he said, and started.
Hio back, Itill," I said, "I was
just joking.
"Oh, un," be suld. Ho I bad to
proceed on home with my unwel-'
come guest.
I had an older brother in the
school who owned a fine little pen
knife. Ouo evening after school
was out be had his knife out whit
tling and said: "Hill, what will yon
give me for my knife!" After a
little hesitation Hill drawled out,
"Well, I believe I'll giveou a la
ter." My brother, just for fnu,
agreed. Itill had an older brother
standing nearby watching the ne
gotiation, and seeing the Initio
about to be eonsumated he sprang
forward with the exclamation,
"You Hill, you goiu' to give a later
for that knife!" and snatched the
potato from Hill's hand. 1'oor Hill
died iu later years a most horrible
death. C. K. Hkown.

What Is Life?
In the lat analysis nobody
knows, but we do kuow that it is
uuder strict law. Abuse that
law even slightly, pain results.
Irregular living means derange

Horse
Health!
For putting in prime condition
any horse or mule the best of all
remedies is Ashcraft's Condition
Powders. These Powders are won
derfully effective because they cre
ate appetite, the digestion is made
perfect, worms and parasites de
stroyed, and the system cleansed
of all gross humors. The Fow
ders fatten but never bloat.
Ashcraft's Condition Powders
' are wrapped in doses. In fact, in
their preparation the same care is
used that a druggist would exer
rise in the filling of a physician's
prescription. High grade and real
merit is the first consideration.
Ashcraft's Powders consist of
mall doses, prepared from the
purest and hiehly concentrated in
gredients, that have been found
beneficial to horses and mules.
Ashcraft's Condition Powders
. always high grade are not to be
classed with the many bulky, good'
for-e very thing powders now on the
market. i
Ask for Ashcraft's, the kind put
op in doses, and good for horses
and mules only.

o'clock. He dropped six feet aud
four inches. His neck was broken
and bis pul.se ceasrd to heat in six
oiinutea and the physicians pro
nouueed him dead in 1.1 luiuute.
After the trap was thrown there
was one or two alight contortions
of the bxly. His mother nor any
ot his relatives wanted bis body
and it waa exprrased to the dis
tributing board at lialeigh touigbt.
The execution was couducted in
the jail yard. There were two or
three thousand people here to see
the execution aud wbeu the pris
oner was put on the scaffold the
crowd tore dowu the improvised
enclosure prepared by the sheriff
to make it more private. A por
tion of the fence was also brokeu
dowu by the crowd. Some weut
so far as to yell. Ilousetoiis, win
dows and other elevated place
were used by them iu their eager
ucns to see it. Everybody seemed
satisfied when it was over.

last night and ate a very hearty
breakfast this morning. He ex
hibited no fear that was visible to
the public when he was taken to
the scaffold. lie joined the church
during his imprisonment and ex-
pretwd satisfaction that he would
be saved. A large number of wo
men witnessed the hanging.
ICosclMiro uiunlered .Mix IMvie
Heaver, wife of Mr. Adolphns
Heaver, a farmer of Cool Springs
township, on Thursday moriiiiig,
July .'til. Mr. lieaver and young
son were iu Statesville that day,
having left Mrs. Heaver at home
alone. They returned home alxnil
dark that evening and found the
dead woman s lxxly iu nu unused
well at the rear of the house. It
was evident from an examination
of the lxxly when it wastakeu from
the well that she hud beeu brutally
in u rd red aud circumstances con
nected KoHelxiro with the crime.
The coroner's lniuHt held the day
following couliruied this.
Two duys after the murder sher
iff .Summers arrested Koseboro iu
Polk county, where be was at work
with a squad of railroad hands.
He was kept fcp juil in Charlotte
until Weduesday, Aug. 1'.', wheu
he was brought to Statesville, tried
by Judge Alleu and sentenced to
be hanged.
During lioselxiro s four weeks
imprisonment here, awailiug his
execution, his conduct has pintJed
those who fretiueiitly saw and talk
ed to him in bis cell. A few days
after be was put iu juil he confessed
that he had killed Mix Heaver;
said he choked her to death. Hut
wheu questioned as to details con
nected with tho crime' his memory
was blank. He claims that he was
drunk and did not know what he
did. His mother said he was not
drunk as she could detect w hen he
went home, shortly after he com
mitted the crime.
A Cow's Tail Curtailed.
Mr. W. N. Davis' Holslcin Jer
sey family milk cow is minus the
major portion of her caudal ap
pendageand thereby bangs a nar
rative. Saturday the row was
tethered out to graze in the thin
patch of woods near bis slaughter
pell, Just outside the southern lim
its of town. In the afternoon the
negro man who has charge of the
slaughter peu found the cow still
grazing, but over two feet of her
tail was banging to a small pine
tree nearby. The treo bore marks
of having gone through astreuuous
tussle and it is supposed that the
cow, having wrapped her tail
around the tree, in her efforts to
extricate herself pulled her tail in
two, a rainer unusual nappeuing
indeed. The protruding leaders
and ragged edge of the hide pre
clude the supposition that it was
cut by some pcrsou and placed
around the tree. The bark was torn
off and the tree had evidently been
pulled close to the ground. Mr.
Davis has had many years' experi
ence with cattle but this is the lirst
accident of this kind that be has
encountered.

To place silk-growing npoa a
peruiaueut basis, we must increase
the output of silk ctxtxins so as to
attract to the State silk revlers autl
weavers, thus creating a home mar
ket for the product of the silk
worm. The first aud most necessary step
ia to iucroase the available supply
of silk-worm food. We must plant
aiulbery trees uutil each farm suit

About one-half of each lot of trees'

Cotton's New Disease.
sib-ilk e.-i.
Mr. J. L Hanks, who cultivates
an extensive farm alxuit leu miles
from ltaleigli, brought a large cot
toil plant to the agricultural de
partment for inspection by the
Stain chemist. It was a well tie
veloxd plant but hud Htaited dy
ing on several of its principal
branches. Mr. Hanks said there
are great quantities of cotton in
his licltls and on a iiiuulx r of ail
joining plantations atllicted as this
one is. After examination the
Stale Chemist found that it is in
fected with niihciicoal or cotton
fungus. They attack the plant,
caust the leaves to dry up and
shed and the bolls in many in
stances to ut least partially decay.
It has a tcudcncy to spread aud
evolution of crops is about the only
thing that will rid a held of its
presence.
Dr. Kilgore, State Chemist, said
that a similar germ, or at least one
which has a similar eliect on the
plast, has attacked tobacco in
Granville county und in portions
of Durham and Wake, counties.
It is known as tobacco wilt. It is
a li.ulerial disease and causes a
plant attacked to wilt in a very
short time. Considerable damage
is Ix'ing done by it iu infected lo
calities. This disease is beiug dis
cussed now in all farmers' insti

SOFT CHS
Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
arc full of fat.
Scott's Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school eirls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, Scott's
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. It not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
cives them strength to do
their proper work.

putting the blame for the preva
lence ol the evil Uxm the educated
and influential uegrors who, in
stead of Ubiug their power to sup
press the evil among the brutal
and vile, sx-ud all their strength
and iullueiice denouncing mob law.
They, as the Journal well says,
have the matter iu their own
hands. The newspapers rau not
reach the rapitu, for they do not
read newHjiaprrs, but the leaders
among the uegroes are iu close
touch with all clamtn aud are per
fectly able to make public senti
nient so strong that the evil will
be greatly leasened. if not entirely
suppressed. But these leaders
rarely say a word against the crime
for which so many negroes are
lynched; on the other baud they
intensify race hatred by assailing
the mob, which will continue to
kill every negro who lays his bru
tal baud UKiu au iumx-eut woman,
and they are eutirely sileut alxuit
the crime which causes the de
thronement of law, which we all
deplore. This, to us, is the most
di.scou raging thing about the edu
cation of the negro. If cducutiou
made him morally stronger or let
ter there would be far more hoix
lor the race; instead of that, how
ever, it seems only to give hi in
shrewdness enough to save his own
bide, without tilling his life an
inch higher than that of the low
level of the ignorant and degraded.
With all the money sicut on the
education of the negro and ull the
facilities that have Ixs'U given hi in
for enlighteument, the crime con
tinues to increase aud the moral
force (if there he such a thing)
among the educated has not been
arrayed ou the side of virtue and
purity. Education, whet her uniting

Some days ago we were look
ing over some oM books ot the
old firm of Stevens & Thifcr and
we find from inspecting them that!
the way in which they conducted
their business was the most ac
ceptable. They treated every
body just the same; there were
no favorites among their custom
ers; they made a small pec cent,
on their goods and made the same
per cent, on each customer.
Therefore they were very success
ful in business and people put
great confidence in them.
