On of Sherman's Raider la
Wtuteaboro.
The 'adeloro Memenger and
IWIIipeorvr says:
"Vadedioro bad two intemiiiua;
visitors last Sunday. They were
(apt. Tbvodora F. Xorthrvp of
New York City and Mr. J. W.
Laudigan of NVaHhington, I). C
There M Clothing particularly
strange in the apiearjn of tbcttt
frntlrnieu. They looked like or
diuary well to-do elderly business
men, so the iiiten-sting thing- about
theui was not their looks, but tbe
faet that they bad once before vis
tied our town under very different
firrnnixtantt.
")u the morning of the 3rd day
of March, !..", the first of Sher-
niau s trtMiixi arrived in Wades
lioro, by way of tbe Camden road.
Their coming was entirely nnber-
aided and it goes without saying
that their uddu appearance on
our streets caused great excitement
' Theae troops, about ;W in uumber,
were a detachment of Sherman's
scouts ouder command of Capt
Theodore F. Northrop, our visitor
of Sunday. Mr. Iandigan waa a
private iu Capt. Northrop's com
pany, and they are now engaged in
a tour of the route they took
through 4 be South aa a part of
- chrrmau a army. Both gentlemen
seemed greatly intareKted iu recall
lug the' incidents of their former
Visit here aud itemed to remember
perftatly all that took place at
that time, aa well aa recalling with
out hesitation the geography of
the town.
i' t)ur older citizens will remem
ber that as two of the Yankee rode
down Green street, past the court
hou.se, they were fired ou by some
one near the Intersection of Green
and Martin streets. The person
who tired the shot we have beard
waa Mr. Isoni lUvis, at present a
citizen of this county. - Mr. Davis,
we have also Ut-n told, always
eluiiued that he hit one of the men,
but whether or not he killed him
was never known by our people
until Mr. Laudigan rleared up tbe
mystery Sunday. Mr. Laudigan,
in conversation with geutlemen
here, stated that he was one of the
men fired ou and that Lieut. Grif
fin was the other. Lieut. Griffin,
he said, was struck near the heart
and fatally wounded. The Van
dees remained in Wadesboro only
a short time, and as they left town
a buggy belonging to the late Jesse
Fd wards was impressed and the
wounded man, who begged not to
be left hchiud, was placed in it
The soldiers left town by way of
the Chesterfield road, Lieut Grif
fin dying, so Capt Northrop states,
just as they arrived at the branch
on the other side of the present res
idence of Mr. llobt Lampley,
which was tlieu kuowu as the Lilly
branch, dipt, Northrop's com
mand then proceeded to Chester
field, 8. C, w here they reinaiued
only a few minutes. They came
buck into Anson county that night,
arriving at the Tillmau place (now
the property of Mr. Fred Tillman),
iu White Store township, about 10
o'clock. At 12 o'clock tbe body
of Lieut. Griflin was buried in the
front yard of the Tillman dwelling.
The body, however, was removed
soon afterward to a spot more re
mote from the house. .
"Lieut Grifliu, according ' to
Capt, Northrop, was an Alalam
Ian and a deserter from the Con
federate army. The Captain fur.
ther stilted that Griflin was one of
the best shots in lae eutire service
aud had killed more men than any

Mr. E. F. Fenton, writing in tbe
same paper, pops a few questions
follows:
"Capt Northrop stated that he
was tbe niaa who led Sherman'
cut throats Into Wadesboro in tbe
spring of 1M6&. We would like to
have met the Captain, inert is
lots of information that he could
give ns. ttt would like for biiu
to answer the following uestious:
Was It Capt. Northrop or bis com
mand who shot Jas. C Iienuett, a
venerable gentleman, in his own
piazzat Did (apt Northrop shoot
and kill old Mr. Cottingham in the
woods, near Morveut Was it by
bis orders that the Hev. II. C. Par
sons, oue ot tbe ablest preachers ol
the South Carolina conference, was
ao cruelly treated in order to com
pel him to divnlge tbe place where
his supposed bidden treasure was!
Did this gallaut officer order his
men to insult our women, tear tbe
rings from their fingers, present
their pistols and bayonets at their
breasts because they refused to tell
where they bad hidden their val
uables! According to his state
ment that be led the' command, he
must know, for there was ouly one
aguad of tbe cut-throats that ever
came to our town that acted in this
dastardly manner. " The strange
part of this story is, that Capt
Northrop should have the eftron
tery to ever visit a town that he
aud his gallant band of murderers,
iuoendiaries aud thieve, passed
through in those sad days. W try
not to harbor such feelings, but
there are some sores that never
heal."
One Mill Man Kills Another.
-A sensational shooting aud death
occurred at Ilardln, ia Gaston
county, last Wednesday. A. M.
Kale, superintendent of the Nims
Manufacturing Company of Mount
Holly, was shot and killed by K. O.
Carpeuter, bookkeeper of tbe Har
din Manufacturing Company, Car
penter also being badly wounded
by Kale.
Tbe tragedy occurred in the pub
lic road about 300 yards from tbe
main building of the Harden Maa
ufacturing Company's plant An
effort on tbe part of Mr. Kale to
induce some of the operatives of
the Harden Manufacturing Com
pany, of which Mr. O. D. Carpen
ter, father of the young man who
did tie killing, is owner, to go
with him to Mount Holly, waa the
cause of the tragedy. Earlier in
tbe day young drpenter bad
warned Kale to desist from endeav
oring to entice bis hands away and
sharp words passed. At noon Mr.
Earl Carpenter, in company with
bis father, Mr. O. D. Carpenter,
and Mr. Campbell, superintendent
of tbe mill, went to tbe house of
one of tbe operatives where Kale
waa sitting on the porch, and again
warned him to desist. Hot words
parsed and Kale, who had gotten
into his buggy with a companion
named Mingua, alighted fad struck
Mr. O. D. Carpenter ia tbe face,
knocking him to tbegroond. At
this juncture the shooting began.
Both parties probably began shoot
ing almost at the same time, though
evidence of the eye witness to the
tragedy Indicates that Kale fired
first Kale was shot in tbe left
eye, the left side and tbe left arm
and died almost instantly. Car
penter was shot ia the right side,
the bullet penetrating tbe right
long. Tbe body of tbe dead man
was removed to his home at Mount
Holly. He was 40 years old and
bad been engaged in the cotton
manufacturing busineaa for a num
ber of years. A widow and lev
era! children survive. Mr. Car
penter Is only 21 year old and is
bookkeeper at his father's mill.

Cirri ipuefc an el mmale rarawr.
Dear A ant Jennie: I have been
listening for some tia;e to the Clint
ia your pleasant circle, and have
concluded to respond to your cor
dial invitation for the boys to Join
yoa.
One thing I have been tbiuking
of: tbe people of North Carolina
are too prvoe after they have made
history, to let others have the
credit for their deeds of heroism
and sacrifice. I think that we
ought to know how to "blow our
own bora."
I am going to write a bit of focal
history, or rather something about
ooe or two great men from this
part of North Carolina who made
history. Andrew Jackson, the
seventh President of the United
States, was bora about sevea miles
from where I am writing these
liues, in the Waxhaw settlement,
March 15, 17651. His parents lived
on Twelve Mile creek near oiu
Pleasant Grove Camp Ground, in
Union county (then a part of Meek
lenburw county). And be it aaid
to tbe shame of North Carolina,
the spot where this great man wa
born ia only marked by a pile ol
stones iu a cultivated field about 3
miles sooth of tbe town of Wax
haw. I dare say that there ia not
a case of similar neglect ia toe
American Union. Think of Jack
aoat A man who president Root
velt says was the greatest 1'resi
dent the United States has ever
had, with tbe exoeptlou of A bra
bam Lincoln. A man who gave
the British the worst licking they
ever "toted,'' whipping 12,000 vet
erans of Waterloo in one half hour
with 6,000 raw troops, killiug 2,
000 British, and losiug but eight
men himself. A man who had the
courage to defy the whole banking
system of the United States wbeu
opposed to the welfare of the com
mon people.
Auut Jeunie, let us have the in
fluence of your fertile pen to create
a aeutimeut which will demaud
that the birthplace of such a hero
shall be marked properly. This
part of North Carolina is rich iu
history of the early and stirring
days when this republic was found
ed. But the good women, who are
ever foremost in perpetuatiug the
memory of our heroes, have begun
a moveuieut which will result in
ftiarkipg these historic spots. Tbe
Daughters of the American Revo
lution have, during the past year,
unveiled a monument at tbe birth
place of James K. Polk, tbe elev
enth President of tbe Uuited States,
who was born in Mecklenburg
county, near the village of Pine-
ville, about twenty miles from the
birthplace of Andrew Jackson.

A Sensible Marriage.
Corrrflpomlenee uf alaleavllle Laadniark.
Mr. Heury Page aud Miss Anue
Crouse were married last Thursday.
It waa a marriage restful aud
unique. There was nothing of tbe
sauie old-thingness about it The
bride waa not dressed in a hand
some going away gown aud did not
carry a lovely bouquet of maiden
hair ferns. The color-scheme was
not pink and white, neither was
Mendelssohn's rendered by tbe ac
complished Miss Anybody at all.
It was all primitive, simple sincer
ity. Good old Father Wyatto per
formed the ceremony. He bad
known theur all their lives. He
just talked to them sensibly, sooth
ingly, as to a petted child. They
had never beea married before and
were bashful and timid. Henry,
do yoa take Annef Anne, do you
take Henry to live together aud
love one another ao long as yon
both shall live, world without end,
everlasting Amen. Two sensible
people were married at a sensible
age and everybody is glad.

Poultry
Buaineas.
"I'Ktl i la rni'Mle farawr
At this season of the year many
are contemplating going in the
poultry business, either on a large
or aiuall scale. With this ia miud,
I would be glad to give a fe
"pointers," hoping it may be
help to some ia starting right
The subject covers ao much
ground that whole columns coo Id
he devoted to it and not exhaust it
Success with poultry, as with any
thing else, ia determiued by effort
aud attention to business. A lazy
man need not go into tbe business,
for It takes work not hard work,
but constant steady "pottering
around, ' cleaning houses, watch
ing lucubators, grinding green
bone and vegetables, and looking
after tbe brooders. With a breed
ing flock of three hundred it will
take all one man's time seven days
in the week to properly look after
tbem and attend to all little details,
which are innumerable.
I would never advise any oue to
invest largely in the business ou
the start uulesa be bad experience
to carry him through, or would en
gage some practical man to run tbe
business for bim. The right thing
to do is to commence at the bottom
and gradually work up. Start
with a trto or pen of the breed you
fancy) or better still, buy a few sit
tings of eggs, aud batch them un
der common bens, aud study the
youngsters as tbey grow. In this
wsy you will learn their habits,
aud become posted on that partic
ulaf breed.
Un tbe start, tbe first and all im
portant question is, What shall I
make a specialty of market poul
try or eggs; or combine the two!
As a general thing, most people
prefer aa all-purpose fowl, one giv
ing a fair number of eggs, and liav
iug a large carcass. This may be
fouud in any of the American class
of pure bred poultry, such as Ply
mouth Kock, Wyandotte) or Javas.
If eggs alone are wanted then the
smaller breeds are best, such as
Minorcas, Leghorns, or Uamburgs;
but should broilers alone be your
object then either the Coruish, In
dian Gaines, or a cross of Indian
Games with the Barred Bocks.
Tbe Cornish are the fiuest table
fowl of all the ninety-sii differ!. t
varieties of pure bred stock. This
cross makes a large, vigorous bird
that can be put on the market at
eight weeks old, weighing from
two to two and one-half pounds.
The object in raising broilers is to
get them off your hands as soon as
possible, lor if they grow slowly
they would consume too much feed
to make them profitable. Tbe av
erage frying sized chicken sold by
the farmers on the North Carolina
markets, are from twelve to fifteen
weeks old, and if they would just
consider what it cost them to raise
that chick to that age (to say noth
iug of the loss of the hen in hatch
ing them aud going with them for
weeks) he would never sell another
one for 18 or 20 cents.
It's the little things in poultry
culture that counts. You must
keep yonr eyes open and pencil in
band, and put down cost of every
thing consumed, and charge it to
the fowls. Then when yon sell,
deduct expeuses and see how much
you have made (or lost).

Va., writes: "Is there any poultry

With a large lump of nail as a
weapon, Andy Hall, a negro labor
er of Ihiarity, yesterday committed
an awault uHa(ierge(iaffiiey, an
employe of Mr. C. B. Flutirnoy,
and indicted an injury from which
dralh followed in a short w hile, at
the Good Samaritau Hospital, here
be received every attention until
the ead came.
Tbe tragedy occurred shortly af
ter 12 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
in th back yard of Mr. C.R. Flour
noy, at tbe comer of Brevard and
Seventh streets, wlieu Hall, who
was baruesaing a horse iu the lot.
renruted some slight comment of
fered by Gaffuey. springing iiin
the smaller negro, aud throttling
him, be bore Oaffney to the ground
ami immediately seized a large
lump of coal from a near by heap,
and holding it iu Isith hauds he
pounded his associate over the
head, indicting teu wounds.
Mrs, Geo. li, Crater, who resides
with ber mother, Mrs. Margaret
Hall, next door, witnessed the af
fair from an upstairs w iudow, and,
arming herself with a pistol, she
rushed dowu and into the front
yard where she met Hall in his at
tempt to escae, covered him with
a revolver and there held him un
til assistance arrived from police
headquarters. Having in her pos
session another pistol, she gave it
into tbe keeping of Mr. Jits, liar
key, a young mail w ho resides on
the opposite side of the street, who
aided in tbe control of the enrugMl
negro. After the excitement Imd
subsided it wits found that the pis
tol used by Mrs. Crater wits unloaded.
With an assurance born of des
peration and a woman's horror at
the commitment of such a crime,
she commanded the Heeing negro
to stop, and enforced her command
with the drawn pistol. Putrolinun
Asbury was the first ou the scene
from the police force, and wits soon
followed by Messrs. Yoiiliglilisul,
Squires and McCull, who went in
tbe patrol witgon. The negro gave
fight and resisted the attempts ol
the officers to arrest him, and was
clubbed into control.
