Friday, having just returned front!
Charlmtun, S. C, whither be went
on aa excursion. He say that bej
found no relief from base ball on!
'"tbe trip, as every sire -4 car that he
saw had a lug card on It with "IU.
Kail" ie big letter. When tbe
'Squire travels he keeps his eyes
open and always ares something to
talk about. Two thing be uolitvd
on this trip beside the everlasting
liase ball. Due was the size of the
corn down that way and the other
was the unusually small statue of
the free nigger. Ilia father used
to own a negro that would make
t b ree or foil r of t he aiiial I gu i uea ones
that he saw aliout Charleston. As
for the corn, 'Squire Mr W hotter
says he thinks he saw ten thousand
acres not more than "fork high,
Mr. K. A. Jerome of Wingate
was in town l riday. He lately had
a little tussle with a cow that laid
him up for some time. In telling
how the cow jerked him down he
puts some fun in the story, as is bis
wont He went to move the cow,
which was treMpaaMing on a neigh
bor too much. 1 tie cow gave a
sudden and powerful jerk, as only
an unruly cow can do, and landed
buu all in a lump in the ditch,
where he was unconscious for a
while. He was badly shaken up
and as a result of the injury to his
mouth, couldu't eat for two or three
days. "I felt he said, ''like my
neck was broken all the way from
hetweeu the shoulder-blades to the
top of the head. And I couldu't eat
for two days aud I couldn't chew
my tobacco."
Out in tbe neighborhood of Wax
haw there are four well known old
darkies who are brothers. But as
a result of the ways of slavery, you
would never suspect from their
names that more than two of I hem
were akin, much less brothers.
They are Peter Craig, I.uu Nor
wood, Hugh Craig and Calvin
Hood. They were the sous of I.un
Kverett, who died a few years ago
at a very advanced age. It is nev
er the policy of the county liourds
of education to nppoiut two men
w ho are akin on the same school
committee, yet for years Lim ami
Hugh have served iu this capacity
iu their district and the several
lioards knew not that iu reappoint
ing them they were violating one
ol their rules. When told of this
Hugh chuckled very much hut said
that lie guessed it was nil right
though, as he was worn out and
Lim hud gone Mind, so neither one
could serve any longer.
The Wax haw Enterprise lately
published the story of a spider that
had been brought to its nilice that
bad the likeness of u man's face on
its hack. Last week The Journal
copied the article, and since then
the olhce haa been licscigcd with
Visitors who w anted to see the won
derful thing. In reading the ac
count they failed to notice that the
article was credited to the uxhaw
paper. The Hint visitor who want
ed to see it was a little girl. "1
want to see the spider, please," she
said.
"Why, we have no spider; you
must baveeometothe wrong place."
'Isn't this Tbe Journal ofliccf"
"To be sure it is."
"Well, then, you have a spider
with sumeliody's face on it, for
mania said so she read it iu the
paer."
Since then other visitors tiave
come but none with the satisfied
lir of this little visitor. Ami none
went away with the disappointment
that she carried. The Enterprise
may send its spider along up here
if it is through with it
Prof. Dry of the Wingate School
and Prof. Hamilton of Union Insti
tute met in The Journal ofllce Sat
urduy. The former is one of the
many boys that the latter bus
trained and turned loose on the
world. Wherever you see one of
these "boys," you will likely see a
man who is doing a man's work.
And not one of them, no mutter
how many colleges he has since
been to, but believes that the little
man with the sandy beard and the
short, quick step is the liest school
teacher that ever was. Ot con rat!,
the heads of these two schools of
the county talked of school subject..
moiig those discussed was the
commencements. Both believe firm
ly iu them. Prof. Hamilton brought
out au idea that la worth thiuking
about He said: "Tis true that
the hoys speak the same old pieces
that we have all beard many tunes,
but these pieces are splendid selec
tions of patriotic literature and
they stir the stuiie ardor, enthusi
asm ind patriotism iu the boys now
that they did in us, and tliey be
stow the same benefit uimiii them.
Of coarse, no aeusible mau looks to
hear somethiuir new in them, lie
is interested to see bow well the I
boys will 8ieak them, how much
vigor and enthusiasm they will put
iu theui, aud bow much they will
get oil t of them, for themselves. We

called the 'North Carolina Header.'

Court Proceedings Bivens Case
Mistrial,
Court adjourned Friday night.
The case of most interest was that
against II. J. Bivens, who while
constable of Monroe township, shot
and killed a negro who hud been
bcuting a ride on the train and run
w hen Bivens tried to arrest him.
The jury Usik this case at ,'l o'clock
hriday afternoon and after staying
out until 1 0::t0 failed to agree, and
a mistrial wits ordered. Iu this
case the charge was manslaughter.
The defence took the line of argu
ment, introducing proof to that ef
fect, that the ball which killed
Furgcson was not fired by Bivens,
but by some unknown by stander.
It was proved that the first two
shots that he fired were tired into
the ground, and he swoie that the
other two were. The defer also
offered proof that the bullet which
killed the man was not the same
kind used by Bivens, and that the
powder was not the same kind.
There was au excursiou crowd at
the depot the morning of the shoot

that some one who hud a pistol,

keeping money in your home or on your person.
You are enabled to save money more easily.
You are always able to give a check for any amount without the
trouble of making change.
You have a complete record of all money paid out. and your can
celled checks which are returned to you at the end of each month.
are the best kind of receipts.
You are saved the trouble and expense of buvitur money orders
or registering, in sending money through the mail.
Money hoarded is dead and of no use to any one: deimsited in a
bank, it is put into active circulation, and is of benefit to the whole
community.
