SUED FOB LIBEL. any one so Editor Miller of the Shelby Aurora gets Into Hot Water. Gastonia Gazette Apr. 4th. Gaston county will make a name for herself in the libel courts. The latest case is that of Messrs. Smith and Pinchback of Bessemer City against the editor pi the Shelby Aurora. The alleged libel is to be found in an issue of that paper published about the' last of Janu ary or February in a semi editorial news item, headed in some such words as "Building a Mill by Gas." Our readers will remember, per haps, an item in the Gazette ol Feb. 7th relating to the matter, in which a more favora"bte statement was made about the status of the Bes semer City Mills. This the Aurora published in its next issue, with out solicitation from far as we know. But Messrs Smith and Pinch back, who were named in the build ing a-mill-by-gas article, felt ag grieved by the language and substance of it. The result is a libel suit. Editor Miller was cited to Bessemer City Tuesday after noon to appear before Justice J. B. Carson and J. T. Oates to answer the charges. The prelimi nary trial was held as set and Mr. Miller was bound over to court. The case will come up for trial in Gaston inasmuch as it is held that the libel is perpetrated where the libelous publication is circulated. . We have tried, in the above to give an impartial statement of the case from such data as we were able to gather. The Aurora may be expected to have something in teresting to say about "the matter in this week's issue. . David McCoy Was Born la North Caro lina and Moved to 8aa Bernardino, Call - fornla.

New York San, Apr. 4th. ' George Schmidt, a workman in the malt house of Neidlinger & Sons, Sixty-fourth street and East River, was killed yesterday after noon by being buried in bin of barley. About 3 o'clock he and another workman, Funk by name, opened a slide in the lower bin to let the barle down froji above and thon went to the upper bin to see that the grain flowed down all right, a thing that Scmidt had done for the last fifteen years. In the upper bin there was about 5,000 bushels of barley heaped up about ten feet high. Schmidt made a misstep and got directly over the slide through which the grain was pouring and began to sink as if he were in a bed of quick sand. ' He called to Funk to pull him out. As Funk started to take his hand Schmidt changed his mind and told him to hurry down stairs and close the slide. Funk did so, and when he got back Schmidt was nowhere to be seen. Superintendent Iloehn sent to Flower Hospital for an ambulance and put all the men in the malt house at work clearing the grain away. It was nearly fifteen min utes before the unfortunate man was reached. When found he was standing upright, his feet on the floor, but he was quite dead. Schmidt's home was 1,099 First avenue. He was 58 years old. He leaves a family ot grown children. EEMaKK ABLE" DETENTION STRENGTH. David McCoy was born in North Carolina, May 2, 1790. His father, a native of the Scotch Highlands, had immigrated to this country a few years before, and from his parents the child in. berited tbe physique typical of that remarkable people. His re tention of physical strength to his latest years was marvelous. When his one hundredth birthday was celebrated five years ago by a large assemblage of frieuds aud neigh bors, the old tuau remarked that the present generation bad never learned bow to pitch bay, and in the - presence of the . crowd be put op a shock of bay in a style that few present could equal and none excel ; nor was he particu larly fatigued by the exert Ton. Less than fonr years ago, lie praued, unaided, an aero of grape vines on bis sou in-laws farm. A SOLDIER OF 1812. The lot of a poor boy fell to David McCoy. When be was only four years old, bin father started back to Scotland to look after an inheritance and was never heard from again. It is supposed he perished at sea. The boy endured tbe hardships incident to all who a century ago had to battle for a livelihood, lie learned the bat ter's trade with his ouile and then wentowoik on a farm in Ken tucky. Later be traded on tbe Ohio and Mississippi, prospered and whs frugal. In 1813,' when America was engaged in its second war with England and when volunteers were called for to take Fort Moldeu, be shouldered his rifle, mounted his horse and eulisfed. He was in the battle of the Thames, wbero William'llenry Harrison, Inane Shelby aud Dick Johnson hail commands, and where Tecum srh, tbe great Indian chief, was kdled. He was married in I8I5 to Miss Lucintha Davis In Kentucky. Seveu children were bora to them, four of whom are living, namely: G. L. McCoy, of Humboldt county, in this state; W. W. McCoy, of this city; Mrs. Cyuthia Morris, of Brookside, aad D. II. McCoy, of Lewis coanty, Missouri. In 1SC8, he came to California, remaining here nine 3 ears when he returned to Mis souri. Upon the death of bis wife in 1877, he went to live with his daughter aud returned with her to Sau Bernardino coanty in 1881. A LIFE LONG DEMOCRAT. Mr. McCoy cast bis first rote in 1812 for James Mtdisou when tbe latter was elected to tbe presiden cy for the second term. He has voted every presidential election since that year and each time for a Democrat. For personal rea sons, be did not vote for Tippe canoe" bis bid commander iu 1840. At the geueral election last fall his neighbors birched np a four horse team and his ride to the polls was hu ovation. On that oc casion hjs neighbors presented bini with a fine" gold-beaded cane. He was an honorary member of not live with others, but slept in a small place to himself with bis arms ever by him. He was accounted, some what of a terror by the other coV ored men, and looked upon with distrust, if not dread, by many of tbe white people. At last a theft was traced to him and a warrant for his arrest placed in-the hands of Deputy Sheriff Henry A. Jarmao, who has beeo remarkably successful in ferreting out criminals and fearless in bring ing them to justice. Mr. Jarman learning of the des perate charcter of the man with whom he had to deal took assist ance with him and surprised the fellow, about five o'clock one morn mg at his home. He made a fearful struggle before surrender ing, but as be was taken unawares he had no opportunity of drawing any weapon, else his career might have been ended then and there. Since he was taken on the charge mentioned he has been in Ocslow couty jail. But Mr. Jarman did not rest satisfied ith what he had accom plished an I went to work to see what was the past event in the man's career that caused him to see sion Mr. Jarman's investigations at last led him to suspect that the man was Ben Hill, a negro who io 1883 escaped with two other pris oners from Craven county 'jail one was recaptured but Hill and tbe other succeeded in making good their escape, Hill, it seems, was in South Carolina the last heard from. He was in jail here for killing his wife. His home was in James City, but they had beetfoff to work itr-the country. He choked her to death and threw her body under Bachelor creek bridge. The coroner's jury thought at first she was drowned but the marks were found on her throat, the-, truth discovered and Hill jailed. Mr. Jarman on Thursday, the 28th, had Mr. R. R. Blackledge, who still remembers and felt sure he could identify Hill to come and see if the man in jail was he. A telegram announces that Mr. Blackledge says tbe man is Ben Hill sure. So, after the lapse of many years, Hill is likely soon to be on trial for the greater crime and may at last answer for it with his life. rying a negro woman ..Primaries are being held all over tbe State now for the nomi nation of Mayor and Aldermen, at the regular May, elections. . . .Capt.

A law was passed by the last Legislature providing for the elec tion of three additional magistrates in each township, their terms to commence on April 1st 1805. Few, if any, of these magistrates have qualified, and they caunt now do so. Tbe offices created are vacant because of the failure of the per. sons elected to qualify before tbe term began. Tbe power to appoint mag is-, t rates, to fill vacancies caused by failure of tbom elected to qualify, is vested in tbe Governor by chap ter2SS, Laws oflSo5, and be ap points lor tbe ran term of six years. It is too late now for any clerk to quality those appointed, and it they attempt to qualify those ap pointed, their acts will be illegal. Tbe failure of the newly elected magistiates to qualify in time rids the people of the burden of 3,000 unnecessary magistrates, and of about $25,000 for tbe purchase of books, etc., for tbe new magis tiates, which the legislators in iutended to spend if they bad known how. The people will have to thank tbe Lord, and not the Legislature, for ridding tbeia of tbe burden which tCe Legislature voted opon them. ..James Henderson, of Lockv Moant, committed saicide at that place, Monday riigbt April tbe first.

From a letter written by Be v. J. Oan derm&n, of Dimoodale, Mich., w aro permitted to make this extract: I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery, as tbe re sults were almost marvelous in lbs case of my wife.
