Greensboro Record: Law is said to be
common sense and it no doubt is. but
there are exceptions to all rules. A few
davs aero a nearro from FriendshlD town
ship sued a man from the same section of
tne county lor fa, alleging utav xnis
amount was due on cutting cord wood.
The case waa tiled In Greensboro .before
a magistrate, who. The. Record is not In
formed. Anyway it came up: both sides
put In all the evidence they had. Then it
is averred the magistrate delivered Him
self of his opinion,, which was that the
defendant not onlv owed the plaintiff $8,
but f 48, and Judgment was awarded for
this amount. The darkey was so aston
ished that he is said to have walked over
to the defendant and remarked Boss,
dis beats de devil; you don't owe me no
$48, and I ain't a gwine to take it, Ton
RocliaBye Baby
These are sweet words.' but haw muck
pain and suffering they used to mean. If
different now.' Since Mother's Frtond has
become known expectant s mothers nave
been spared much of the anguish of child
birth. Mother's Friend Is a liniment to be
applied externally. It is rubbed thoroughly
Into the muscles of the abdomen; It gives
elasticity and strength, and when the final
great strain comes they respond quickly and
easily without pain. Mother's Friend is
never taken Internally. Internal remedies
si this time do more harm than good. If

Salisbury Cor. Charlotte Observer: It
is with regret that the end of the ro
mance of Mri J. T. Wyatt, the Faith cor
respondent of The Observer, and the
Swiss bride, with whom he was brought
Into correspondence by an advertisement
in a matrimonial journal, is noted. A
separation has been arranged, Mrs.
Wyatt relinquishing all claims upon her
husband in consideration of a sum of
money. For some time past the differ
ences of the couple have furnished an end
lees supply of gossip among the villagers.
The culmination : occurred Thursday
morning when Mrs. Wyatt was in Balls
bury. Mr. Wyatt endeavored to take
advantage of her absence to move all of
hie belongings out of the house. In the
course of this proceeding he had a misun
derstanding with his mother-in-law, who
cannot speak English, and belabored her
with a stick of tire-wood, Mrs. Wyatt,
on returning, had him arrested and only
consented to his release without a bond
to keep the peace when he agreed to
terms of separation. She Is a highly ed
ucated woman and doubtless did not
find Mr. Wyatt responsive.
Connecticut and Tobacco.
Ai1i.vU!.Citlin. :.
TobaccO growers in several states are
now interested in the plans for the intro
duction of the culture of Sumatra to
bacco. A new corporation, chartered at
$116,000 with capital paid in, has been
organized at Hartford for the planting
of 100 acres in Connecticutand It will ex
periment in the raising of shadegrown
tobacco. Congressman Henry, of the
same state, also had a consultation last
week with Secretary Wilson and Pro
fessor Whitney of the United States de
partment of agriculture regarding the
supply and distribution of Sumatra
seed. The department proposes to dis
tribute a limited amount of the seed In
some 20 districts in Connecticut, New
York, Ohio, Wisconsin and Texas.
It Is announced that each applicant for
the seed will be granted only ., sufficient
for the planting of a single acre, and
white no great results are to be expected
next year, the 1903 crop will be consid
erable and the growing of Sumatra to
bacco may be expected to increase rap
idly In the next few years.
Congressman Henry Is of the opinion
that the end of Sumatra Importation is
unquestionably at hand and the entire
$5,000,000 to : $6,000,000 , worth of
Sumatra wrappers annually imported
will shortly be grown on American soil.

I bad an exciting adventure while I
was engaged - In superintending ; the
laying down of water pipes in Queens
land.. After work was done for the
day I went up the surveyed course for
the pipes to tee that It bad been clear
ed for the digging of trenches next
day. The pipes, huge Iron tubes two
feet In diameter, lay scattered about.
I was alone, but suddenly I beard a
tremendous roar,1 and looking up saw
a great herd of cattle stampeding down
upon me. Before I could get out of
their way they would be upon me, so
I crawled into one of the pipes.' .
On came the thunder of thousands
of hoofs, and then a mass of roaring,
maddened cattle swept past my place
of refuge. Scores of them stumbled
ever the pipe In which I lay. and those
which fell were trampled to death..
When the herd bad passed I crept
out and found seven dead cattle about
the pipe. Stray Stories.
