IS III II ORB JOHN GRISSOM ATTACKED BY TWO NEGROES AND MIS SKULL CRUSHED. tfis Recovery Is Doabtful The Negroes Es caped. But Hare Beea Spotted and Sher iff Wriiht is After Them. I . - - r - A difficulty occurred at the home of Mr. Johm Grissom, in Steele's township Sunday, September 15th, which it is not at allimpobable wil result in the death of Mr. Grissom. Mr. Grisom has charge of Messrs L. L. and R. E. Little's farm known as the Bill Stanback plan tation, in Steele's.township. Upon returning to his home Sun day evening be found 'two negro boys in h s yard named ' Deaton and Wall. He had previously for bidden the negroes to come upon his premises, and upon their re fusing to leave, he procured his shot gun and went out in the yard to them. Deaton and Mr. Grissom became eoeraered in a tussel. and while the latter was trying to ex tricate himself from the negroe's gracp, Wall ran up with a large rock. givng Mr. Grissom a terrific brow upon the bead, crushing his skull. As Mr. Grissom s sons were uway from home, the negroes made their escape. As soon as his sons returned they spread the news tele graphing to different points to ap prehend the negroes. JPor some reason the telegram ordered sent to Sheriff "Wright failed to reach him, and the news did not reach this place till after we had gone to press Wednesday evening. As soon as the news reached here Sher iff Wright went to investigate it and put forth every effort to apprehend the perpetrators. He has two ne groes who answer the descriptions spotted at Steed, N, C. on the Page railroad, and left here yesterday morning through the country for that place. Mr. Grissom is a man of good standing xnd has a large family. He has been attended by Dr. Pat terson, of Maneum. and is in a very precarious conditiou. warn BOOM It's Commercial Supremacy is Rapid ly Spreading. Doing Mora Business than ever Before la Its History -Some of the Reaosns Why . This is True. Pee Dee Callegiate Institute" Again. The Raleigh correspondent of the Charlotte Observer sends that paper the following: "A letter comes from Chicagc asking whether there is an institu tion at Raleigh known as Pee Dee Collegiate Institute, with a Dr. Bar-j ritt as President. The letter says : This so-called university in North Carolina has been conferring degrees upon British clergy men in England and a friend rum there writes me, mak ng inquiries regarding it. I have written to Dr. Barntt, but can get no t reply. Can you give me the number of students and the relative importance of the said in stitution?" There is no such insti- ute here and no one has yet been found who has heard ot it.". The Pee Pee Collegiate Insti tute" is no doubt the colored school ocated at Pee Dee, N. C, about miles from Rockingham, just over in Anson county, and the Dr. Barritt referred to is no doubt the same imposter who was wined and dined by some of the gentry in England, and who a few years ago 00 led an English lady to come over here to teach in his School. She was properly enlightened immediately upon her arrival, how ever, and returned to her home in Englnnd after a stay of a couple of weeks at the home of her country man, Mr. Geo. Warborton, in Rockingham. The Late H. C. Wall. Resolutians Adopted by the Dialectic Society of the University. Chapel Hill, N. C, Oct. 22. Correspondence to The Anglo-Saxon.

The increase in the number of our mills, and the con sequent increase in population is another. The activity in building residences, etc., has contributed its share-. But we believe that thorough consideration of the mattewill find the prime cause in the progressive enterprise of its business men. The handsome stock which they display on their shelves, counters and warehouses. and the close margins at ;which they sell theni, are enough to at tract buyers from a loug distance and it is.no wonder even that some of them ; do a considerable mai order business, shipping'their goods to many neighboring towns. Take the Funiture line, for in stance. No matter if you have visited : every funiture house in North Carolina you will be sur Drised when you walk into the mammoth funiture store of J. T. West. You' would wonder why many of the furniture stores you have visited in the large cities were not as pretty tfs this, and you would not be the first if you were to marvel at the enterprise which placed such a stcVzk of housefurnish ings (for their stock embraces al most every conceivable thing which goes into the furnishing of a home) outside of a city of ten or fifteen thousands inhabitants. Aay one who has an apprecia tion.of the beautiful will be well repaid by taking a trip through their store, and they take pleasure in showing you through, because they are anxious for the public to kno,w what they have to offer them. They have about 20,000 square feet of floor space, and every availa ble foot of it is utilized. About the first thing to attract your attention as you- go in is the pictures, genuine copyrighted pho- ographs from real life,- most of them, developed in the highest style of art, and tastily framed. Th,ey have them from a cabinet Photograph to four ft. square in sizes and from 25 cents to $6.5o eaoh. - You'might visit many cities and not find such an attractive collec tion of pictures. They have some of the prettiest crockery and china you would wish to see. In addition to a variety of finer and plain full dinner, tea and chocolate sets they have quite a large selection of the daintiest oddities in newest shapes and col orings, bought wit'i a view 10 sup plying the most choice searcherj or presents for the holidays, wed dings or other occasions. Of course the first thing any one expects to see in a furniture store bed room suits. They have them from $7.50 to $100.00 per set". . You would not only be de ghted with some of their fine suits but you would probaly be surpris ed to see the very high grade of fiurniture in their stock which is the product of North Carolina mills. The stock carried on our first floor is simply a sample of our tremendous stock on second floor and ware rooms packed beyond reach without a step'ladder. People who take a look through our stock stand and wonder what Jbn earth are we going to do with them. Our answer is: We got them rom the four winds and are going to scatter them to the same. Comparatively speaking there has been a continual stream of hum anity flowing in and out of our store for the past few weeks gazing at our magnificent stock of house urnishings :etq.

I was pained very ranch to hear of the dealli ui itvu of my former students,; Belle Nicho'son, and Beulah McDonald, I nave known Belief rom her childhood, and she was under my instruction ' in in School for about two years. Of course I come to know her well for with the 1 exception of the home there is no place like the school for understanding as well as mak ing character. During thosa years Bell made for herself a place in my heaitand I think I can say in the heart of every Jstu dent, for everybody liked her. I can now almost hear her ringinJaughj?ee har at tentive face, and I note her "prompt an swers and discussions in class. Belle's was an unusually quick bright mind. Of the hundreds I have taught few if who had the mental vgor and brightness that-she had. She j received and assimilated truth easily but on that account no less earnest ly. A very pretty part of her life was that she was . not conceited. She could receive unstinted praise without 'being spoiled by it. Something that lots of folks, grown up folks as Well as children cannot do. That which mads Belle so generally admired were the hopefulness and cheerfulness that characterized her life. It is exceedingly difficult to get the world to understand that religion never was designed to make our pleasure less. Earnest Christains are the ones who car always be happy and hopeful- I don't re member ever to have seen Belle when she could'nt smile and smile naturally. But she wa s serious too. For when she began teaching she was a mere girl, but I under stand 8hj6 gave almost perfect satisfaction. And the two ought always togother. Her crowning virtue however, was charity. Everybody loved Belle, because she loved everybody. Her, school-mates loved her because there was no I'm smait-er-than-you air about her. Her teachers loved her because she was net jealous and envious of others, was not always imag ining that they were kinder to someone else than to her. When she went back home the neighbors loved her because she was the same Belle that went away. The negroes on her father's place and in the community loved her because her eympa chies were so broad deep and that color and condition could not keep her from be ing tender and kind to the humblest o; God's creatures. 1 near tnat one night while very sick Belle called out "Beulah!, Beulah!" several times. The uncle who was with her did not know anyone by that name that she could be thinking of. Later it was found that Beulah McDonald died about that time. Beulah was also a student of mine and a schoolmate of Belle's."She was j sweet modast loviDg. lovable girl. Young er than Belle, and not in school so long I did not know her so intimately, but what I remember most distinclly in her were her quiet, gentle manners'and sweet- spirited-disposition: i am glad to be able to pay such a a tribute to these dear girls. And yet I feel satisfled that if they had known that their years would be so few, they would have done still more for the Master. Many of their schoolmates will read this and agree with me in all I have said, I trust it may not seem amiss for me to urge them to look into their own lives and see if they are doing what they can. It 13 deaths like these that make us feel that life is so short and that we are doing so little. May the comforter bring consolation to the sad dened heart, and may these afflictions work out for them a far more exceeding anp eternal weight ol glory. J.
