Inn is (kid a country, raid he. "Charlotte it. the only town in the world, and I never want to go out side of Mecklenburg countv again. Crump is just the sort of man to point a moral or adorn an old, old tale. He is SI year old. He stands six ftvt, two and and a half inches high and weighs 305 pounds. stripped, lie has the chest ol a prize fighter, a small waist, and is as straight as a North American Indian He is a perfect physical specimen and au ideal soldier in appearance; yet Crump declares that he would rather die than be a soldier again. He was not ever thus. When he was a bov he lived and worked on a small farm in Horning Star town ship, and the ambition of his life was to be a soldier. His conception of military lite wasdrawn from pictures that he saw at the village otollice anil in other place. These repre sented well-groomed soldier lads, beautifully dressed in suits of blue, standing around in easy positions fit objects for universal admiration. Crump dreamed of uniforms, of walk ing behind a band, and being ap- I 'lauded by a lot of pretty girls. He new nothing of the world, and he fancied that soldiering was the easi est job that was. He had no idea of the inevitable drudgery that the life entails. He would have sworn that a soldier's duty meant being fattened like a prize pig, and that he would be paid for carrying a gun aud look ing pretty. Before he was the required age Crump tried twice to enlist, and when he was turned down he went home and wept In 18U8 he attempt ed to enlist as a volunteer in the Spanish-American war, but his youth stood in the way. He wept again. He went back to thn farm and tried to be satisfied with his life there, but in vain. Alwavs he saw himself striding around in that handsome blue suit. He fell the clarion call to wear a uniform a call that would not be disobeyed. He came to Charlotte last January and enlisted under CapU V. V. For syth, who has charge of tlic Itical re cruiting station, lie was delighted with the praise that was accorded his magnilicant physique; he was tickled to the depths of his big, long ticket, which provided for his rail way fare to Fort Slucum, New York. Ilis northward ride on the train was the biggest cxcricncc he had ever known, and he drank in pleas ure with every breath. He felt his own imHirtance. lie tin night that when he reached his destination everybody would come out and shake hands with him and say, "How do you come on, Crump?" And they would feed him high and e.t him and would tell him how fine and splendid he looked in his pretty new blue suit Crump was quite sure that these things would happen. "But my feelings began to change just as soon as I got to rort Nocum, he said. "F.verything looked like jail to me, and nobody seemed glad to see me at all. Somebody said. 'Come on and get your supper,' and they gave me a plate of mouldy beans with molasses on 'em and a lot of pickles that wis cured only with salt I couldn t eat a thing, and a reat big fellow says to me: 'Aw, you better learn to eat that. You'll get plenty of it for the next three years. That second Crump said he be came homesick.

NoUnly tatted him on the hack or asked him about his folks ; and he said lie got so lonesome he nearly died. Before he had been at Fort Slocum a week he had forgotten how to laugh or even smile, lit) wanted to come home tliat was the burden of his song, lie said he knew that he would be probably caught and punished if he deserted, but before he had been a soldier a fortnight be had made up his mind that ho would desert at the first chance, no matter if he was shot for the act. He waited till he drew two months' pay, and then he slipx-d away from Fort Slocum and bought a ticket to Charlotte. When he arrived at his home he told all his friends what he had done and the reasons for his ac tion, lie won sympathy fnun every body, and he was given the biggest sort of an ovation. He revelled in his freedom, though he knew that almost any minute ho was liable to lie ar rested and taken Iwck to New lork. One night Crump was the guest of honor at a big affair in Morning Star township. The entertaiiincnt was one of a series of functions that cele brated his return to his home. He was the lion of the hour. As the young deserter sat in the best iwirlor, picking the banjo in the centre of a gnmp of pretty girls, Col. Tom Black of the local police force. accomanied by two or three other policemen, crept up to the house and loked in on the scene. A second later he rapied at the door, which as opened, and ( rump became a prisoner, lie (treaded keenly the or deal that was before him, but he said that before he went to prison he felt that il was his duty and his only pleasure to advise everybody in the wide, wide world to keep out of the army. 1 nere am t no lun u us worse n hell, lie said. He was taken to Fort Wadsworth. New York, and sentenced to serve a term of six months in prison, with a provision that hve davs should be taken off every month for good be rumor. I was the best prisoner they ever had, said Crump. 1 hey just couldn't tell me to do anything I dtdn t do right on, and I was a free man after five months. Then 1 left for home. Man, man, I'm the happiest fel low that ever was. This here dis honorable discharge can't bother me. hv, I m going home. And there s a girl down there! llan, if you could only feel aa I feel.

So spoke Crump as he stood on the streets yesterday morning at 4 o'clock and talked to half a doien policemen who knew him and all people who stopped to question him about his experience.- He looked as healthy as a thoroughbred horse and just as fit, and be belonged to a physical type that might have changed the fortunes of Leonidas at the pass ; but Crump says heaven is on the farm, where a girl u and uni forms are ix.

'Squire Bailrs, who lives just over the line from Mecklenburg county and has made a business of marrying luauy couples for years, has again become active. Indignation against his metliods became so great some lime ago tliat lie kept quiet awhile. Now hie is again advertising himself. The other day IWmaster Hasty got a letter from the old artist, saying that he sent some cards which he would like to have put in the hands of "cotton mill bosses, popuiar clerks, etc." The complaint against him is that his business induces young peo ple, especially cotton mill oieralives, to get married, when they slum Id never marry.

I marry about 305 people a year now, as my record shows, and I have have always kept a handv record and a complete marriage certificate book of blanks for every couple married bv me and for the future good of the thousands concerned. Possibly, I may be the most well known marry ing man known of in all your knowl edge, and marry more ieople than any man you read alwut; undoubted ly, it is a bridal tour to those who make it so.

Some months ago siieculaUirs, after the cotton crop was practically out of the hands of the fanners, ran up the price of the staple to 13 and 14 cents and some of the 9xyulators made a pile of money. Now that the new crop is coining in there is, as is al ways the case at tins season, talk oi a big crop, and as a result the price is dropping down. The first few bales brought 12 cents but the fig ures range alxnit 10 now. It is a dangerous thing to advise farmers what to do about selling cotton and the landmark doesn't advise them. Rut Mr. Ashelev Home, a prominent citizen of the State and a prominent farmer of Johnston county, has pub lished a letter in which he argues that the crop is going to be short, the simulators and paid specialists to the contrary notwithstanding, and Mr. Homo advises farmers to sell no cotton for less tlian ten cents and to sell mighty little of it at that figure, as he feels sure it is bound to ad vance. The landmark's opinion is that the weight of the testimony is with Mr. Home and this is one year that farmers, unless comelled to sell, should go slow unless they consider the price satisfactory.

StatemllW Loadatark. However, it is not amiss to say a word abmit the crime of st-dut-tun. This very grave offence against vir tur ami morality has grown alarm ingly in reeeut years. The general public has little idea of its pn-va- ! lencr. If all the doctors in ahmct I any community were suddenly tupM ion the stand and reveal all their in- fessional secrets tliev would so startle i lie communities tii.il in many oi them a great upheaval would result. In former days the man who be trayed female virtue, if Uie woman was resin viable at all and had male relatives wist held a woman's virtue as dear as life, did so at his -ril. These things have practically 'lasst-d away. I nlortiinately the younger generation of both sexes have loo often lotase manners, and alas ton often looser morals. A woman's name is stained, her life wrecked The stain is not wiped out with hid The destroyer of virtue and the wrecker of homes is not even cast out of society. .Society is content with casting out the woman anil the man is received with os-n arms. Ib is accounted by himself and llmse like him as something of a hero who can number ruined lives as a part of his work. The remedy? The law provides none. It utterly falls down in this matter. It is a dangerous thing to advise people to take the law into their own hands even when the law fails but we say, and we sav it fullv conscious of its serious import- that t!ie betrayer of an innocent woman mark the word innocent - should he shot down like a dog w herever he is found and the man who punishes him should go scot free. Humiliating as it is to sav it, il is nevertheless true that often in such cases the woman is not always guilt less. When this is so the extreme remedy mentioned is not justified. It is justified when innocent virtue is betrayed ; and in any case of this kind the law should be made so se vere that the wretch who ls-trays women would pause before he would take the risk. juiiuup i iuui o : lis Bad Floor! i i i a "sch.Ui In ii or - J Hebrew matrimonial bn-ker. t ar i5 range a marriage, but tin- in!-inliilj bridegroom withdrew, and the worn J an liaik carlmlic acid Her life u.i.-IO saved, however, and when she had' a saved up another ''Jiiil fnun hi-rjf .1 - . ... 1 . .1 T ap-s. sue aaiu nsontii in nit "schatchen." who secure I a man who promised to marry ln-r.

Want to Make Folks Pay Their Debts. Slateavllle Landmark. A peculiar situation seems to lie arising in the Mate. In Caldwell county a few days ago a poor fellow killed himself, and the only reason assigned for the suicide is that the man was worried because he could not pay his debts. The idea of a man kiiling himself for a small mat ter like that! Generally it is the creditor who is allowed to walk the floor when the account is due and he can't collect, and it is the creditor who is allowed to go out and kill himself because dcadlxvits have wrecked his business, while the debtor sleeps soundlv and never misses a meal.
