One day last week Miss Minnie Bla
lock, daughter of Wm. Blalock, a well-to-do
farmer of this county, was visit
ing her Bister, Mrs. Charles Anderson,

There was also an open well near the
corner of the house, and in their ex
citement, and watching the wasps, the
little boy kept backing, unmindful of
the well, until he went over backwards.
The well was 28 feet deep, with four
feet of water. This turned attention
from the wasps to the child. For a
moment or two there was consternation.
But Mis Blalock, with undaunted
con rage, took in the situation and she
at once proceeded to go down in the
well and when she reached the water it
was just in time to save her little
nephew, who was about to sink for the
third time. Sha succeeded in pulling
him out of the water, and, strengthen
ing herself, she brought him to the top
and safely landed him on terra firm.

Progress of Southern Methodists.
In an address beforo the General
Conference of the Methodist Church in
Canada last month the Rev. Dr. E. E.
Hoss, fraternal delegate of the M. E.
Church South, delivered an tloqner.t
address. He said: ,"W began with
about SOOjOOd members, .When tho
civil war came in 1861 we had increased
o over 700,000, of whom 207,000 were
persons of African descent a larger
body of converted heathen than could
then be found in all the mission stations
of the world. In many communities
there was a great preponderance of
colored over white members. For ex
ample, Trinity Church, Charleston, S.
C, reported in 1863 only 383 whit?
members and probationer?, against 700
colored; and Bethel Church in the same
city reported 383 white, against 1,492
colored. In the States of
South Carolina and Georgia alone we
had at the latter date sixty picked and
capable men none other were deemed
fit whose sole occupation it was to
minister to the religious wants of the
oolored people."
JAMES BROWN'S MURDERERS.
Two of His Mill Hands Committed the Awful
Deed.
STATEfivrxLH, N. C. W. H. DeaveT
a detective from Asheville, N. C, has
ferreted out the murderers of James
Brown, the manager of the Long Inland
Cotton Mills at Monbo.
When accused of the crims by the
detective Elam Jos6y, an operative at
the factory on the night shify, called
upon God to witness his innocense,but
on the way to Newton Jo6ey said he
did not kill Brown but he knew who
did do it. "Thomas Covington. day
hand in the mill, and son of the fore
man has a key to the store door. He
and I have often gone in the store at
night and taken little things; but Thos.
Covington went alone the night of the
murder. The next day he told me
he had to kill old man Brown."
The magihtrate sent both men to
Nowton jail, their guilt being fully
established, and every indication show
ing angry and indignant, outraged
neighbors who wished to take the law
in their own bands.
Elam Josey is 27 years of age and
married. Thos. Covington is 22 or 23
years old and is also married.
Finds Our Section Most Prosperous.
"I travel constantly through Vir
ginia, the Carolinas and Georgia," said
P. B. Beard, of Salisbury, N. C, who
represents a large Philadelphia whole
sale firm, to a Washington Po6t report
er, "and 1 do not exaggerate when I
say that those States are in a more
prosperous condition than they have
been at any time since the war. The
farmers are getting out of debt and
are raisng their own supplies. Most of
them have corn enough on hand to last
two years. Despite the fact that the
cotton planters have got a very low
price for their product, what they did
get was so much clear money. Our
factories are running on full time, and
some of them by night as well as day."

Poisoned Bnllcts in Warfare.
International compact, which for
bids the use of poisonous and explo
sive ballets, provides againit purposely
infected shot. Nevertheless experi
ments have been made by Messner with
bullets purposely infected with micro
organisms, and the results are sum
marized by Knowledge for the present
month. The bullets were disoharged
at tin boxes filled with sterilized pep
stone, and the channels made by the
shots were examined. It was found
that, in spite of the heat of the dis
charge and the violence and briefness
of the impact, cultivations of bacteria
arose in the gelatine. In other cases
the boxes had been wrapped in flannel
infeoted with varions bacteria, and un
infected bullets were tired through
flannel and gelatine. Growths of bao
teria derived from the infected flannel
appeared in the gelatine. Knowledge
remarks upon the horrible suggestion
conveyed by these experiments. Chi
