FEIX OFF A TBESTUC A Horse and HU Rider Take a Tnmblr Horse Kulned Want Dr. Murphy , Be. tained Young: Man's Thigh Itroken Qulna Wlna and is Learnlnr. friend, Gordon Cilley, of Charlotte, in addition to his other accom plishments, has become a bright and shiniug light in athletic cir cles. He won a gold medal last week, at Charlotte, in the Handi cap Bicycle Bace and defeated -all other competitors. The distance to be rnu was teu miles. Tbe race took place on tbe sidewalks of Charlotte. A dense crowd filled the streets, leaving for the riders a narrow space on the pavements. As Gordon was coming in on the homestretch at the rate of twenty miles an hour, a colored man con ceived the brilliant idea of leaping in front of him, intending to. ex ecute a double shuffle for tbe amusement of the crowd and then retire. He miscalculated the speed at which the rider was approach ing and before' he could get out of the way the wheel struck him full in front and he went1 down like a flash. The bicycle sprang into tbe air and hi rled Gordon to- the pavement. Though 'stunned aud dazed, be rose to his feet and dragged his wheel across tbe goal line just before bis nearest oppo nent whiifted by him. Lincoln Journal, April 2nd. " The crowds attending court this week were small and it was the lightest docket ever known in the county's history.' Mr. J. Mon roe Beep, a highly esteemed and respected citizen of this county, died at his home at 'BeepsvHle Monday afternoon after more tbau a year's illness. 1 ....A; petition was circulated here this week ask ing the board of directors of the Mogantou Asylum to retaiu Dr. Murphy as superintendent. It is uot uecessary to say that it . was signed by hundreds and these sub scribers represented every shade of political faith. The retirement of Dr Murphy would be a calami ty, and our people appreciate this fact. .'...The Supreme court 're fused a re-hearing in the coutested election case of Quinn vs. Latti more over the Superior court clerkship of Cleveland county. So, the decisiou in favor of Quiun stands. Prof. Quinn came down Monday and took lessous under his friend Judge Barklej. He will take charge of his office Monday. ... Reports from all over tne coun ty are to the effect that the frosts and freezes of last week destroyed the peach and pear crops and seriously damaged forward wheat. ... Walter Abernethy, of Mt. Holly, was thrown frem his horse at Mt. Holly Saturday night and had his thigh broken. Tbe horse became frightened and started to run away, but stumbled -and fell, breaking Mr. Abernethy's thigh aud braising him up badly. A joung citizen of Gaston county had a narrow "escape from a vio lent death here Monday night. His name is Will Henderson. :He was coins dowu Main street, and when he got to tbe Narrow Gauge crossing he mistook it for a cross street and turned to the left. Pretty soon he found himself J on tbe railroad trestle, 'lne uorse kept its footing until it got about twenty feet out ou tbe trestle, when it fell off. The rider weni ou one side tbe trestle and tbe horse on the other. The trestle where they fell was about fifteen feet high. The niau escaped un injured, bnt tbe borse had jits shoulder broken and is practically ruined. ! WATAUGA WAVELETS. Twenty Churches In tbe " Benighted Strip "Other Mewa. Watauga Democrat, April 1st.

He further said that the prospects for this season were very flatteriug indeed Miss Sallie Norris, of whose illness we spoke iu our two last issues, died at the home of her brother in law, Mr. Geo.

Mr. Gotschald went to his dinuer apparently as well as usual, but a lew hours afterward was attacked by ! a hemorrhage which caused bis 'death. ...On Friday afternoou about two o'clock the town was startled by the shrieks of the steam whistle at A. Y. Sigmon's millsy followed bythe alarm ot lire. The lumber in a dry kilu close to the railroad had be come ignited -and the fire was burning fiercely before auy steps could be taken to suppress it.t A large crowd speedily gathered on the scene, while the railroad -be-yound was literally thronged with people. The .doors of the- kiln were closed ana ueia uy a uenvy beam, tbe object being to confiue the names as long as possible within the brick building. All around tbe kiln were heaped masses of lumber; and a row of wooden huts made a continuous chain for twenty-five yards to Ithe mills. If the fire bad once broken control, every building in the (vi cinity would have beeu laid in ashes. The men worked with desDerate energy, covering the roof of the nearest house with salt, bearing off lumber and drenching the doors and roof of the kiln with water. The fire progressed rapidly, struggling to burst its confine ment. At first there was a luried glow seen through the chinks, then a narrow red- tongue licked out over the doors of the kiln and at last the roof gave way and a rtrnart sheet of flame.- With a shower of sparks leaped skyward. But mean time a hose and engine had teen brought. A stream of water,was turned into the blazing kiln and the fire extinguished. The lumber and two hand cars were destroyed. We have been unable to learn the exact amount of Mr. Sigmon's loss. ....Our old Some Queer Relatlou Two Deaths at Henrietta A Death at Sunshine. Rutberfordton Vidette, April 2nd.

Mr. Thomaa Caltou, a highly re spected old gentleman and one of Butberford's valuable citizens, died at Sunshine Tuesday, and was laid to rest Thursday at Cedar Grove. He. was the father of Couuty Commissioner J. A. Calton. ..i.A man iu this county who has been-married .three times brings about some queer relations in bis second aud third marriage. In the secoud marriage he and oue of his sons married sisters, and in the third marriage be aud another oue of his sons married cousins. An other curious feature is, the boys were twins and one of them mar ried a twiu sister. of the Presbyterian church, a four or five room cottage. This is in the line- of our needs in the town more houses Mr. J. G. Grant has - purchased the sole fishing right above the falls of Buck Creek after the pres ent lease expires, of which he now owns a half interest, and has made application to the Government for three thousand more trout, to be delivered this fall and added to Brook trout now in the stream. . . . ."We are informed by ex-Sheriff Neal that $2,000 and a lot has been secured with which to locate a roller flouring mill in Marion. Another $1,000 is needed. Messrs. J. G. Neal, G. W. Crawford and J. S. Dysart and another gentleman, whose name we did not get, gives $500 each. Mr. Crawford gives the lot not far from the Southern depot. It is to be hoped that they may succeed. It seems plain that such an enterprise would suc ceed and deserve success. .... We are told by a- business man who is thoroughly reliable and in a position to know that a great enterprise indeed, and a good one, is among the possibilities for Ma rion. A deed has been made out and forwarded to certain parties for property, which is to be fitted up for an industrial school and reformatory. If the parties who are negotiating for. the property buy it, they will be able to fit it up for any purpose, and will make it a noble institution, which is a great need of humanity and ac cords with christian sentiment. We most earnestly wish that the matter will materialize for the sake of all concerned Messrs. Payne & Decker Bros, have bought a lot of Mr. G W. Crawford on which to erect the plant of the novelty wood work ing factory. The lot is all of the large one between the road oppo site the Southern freight depot and Mr. Crawford's yard. As soon as the material arrives the con struction of the buildings begin. This enterprise will cause the ex penditure of thousands of dollars in our midst in buying material and in building, and later in oper ating their plant. We hope and believe they will enjoy satisfactory returns for all of their outlay. Our town is peculiarly well fitted for factories, whose raw material is wood of various kinds. Labor is not high, living is cheap, climate is superb, material plentiful and reasonably cheap. The brothers of Mr. C. E.

WASHINGTON, April 5, 1S07. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, Chair man of the Democratic National Committee, has issued an address indorsing the appeal made by Presideut Black, of tbe National Association of Democratic Clubs, for a celebration of tbe 154th an niversary of the birthday of Thos. Jefferson, the author of tbe decla ration of independence and the fonuder of American democracy, on the 13th day of this mouth by all democratic organizations. The tariff bill has been in tbe hands of the Senate Finance Com mute long enough to make it cer tain that it is going to be cut and slashed very much by that Com mittee, not to mention what will be done to it after it gets reported to the Senate. Bepublican Sena tors are very free in saying tbat the bill is not what it ought to be. That, of course, is not a sure sign that it will be battered in tbe Sen ate, merely a sign that it will be very much changed. Tbe clause making the duties imposed by tbe bill when it becomes a law col lectable on all importations or dered after April 1, is generally regarded as merely a financial scarecrow, set up to frighten timid importers. It now looks as though Speaker Beed really intended to carry out the aunounced programme of only ha vine the House meet twice a week on Wednesdays and Satur days and adjourn. It may. be that be can keep this thing up during the .two or three months tbat the Senate will take to pass the tariff bill, but many are pre dictiug that be1 will have to give the House a chance to do some thing or it will do something in spite of him. j There is pome very lively .kick ing among tbe new-comers at tbe working of McKiuley's rule agaiust reappointing men who held office under Harrisou. ben this role was first announced the new comers were delighted, but tbey look at it differently now, wheu they see the ease with which' tbe members of the "ex" brigade are quietly gathering op tbe good tbiugs. Tbe re appointment of Mr. Palmer, to be public printer was received with wry faces by tbe new comers, but when Mr. Palmer took charge of tbe 'government printing office and teappointed W. U. Collins, Chief Clerk, and H. P. Brian, foreman, words were ut tered that canuot be printed in a family newspaper. A majority of the Executive Committee of the Indianapolis monetary convention, more gener ally known as tbe Banker's Con vention, are iu ashington trying to take Senators and Representa tives into supporting a bill- pro viding for a mometarv commission. The members 1 of tbe committee profess to be jubilant over the out look for the bill, but Senators and Representatives appear to be .en tirely indifferent to the subject. Representative Heatwole, of Min nesota, offered! a retention last week for tbe creation of such a commission, but there is nothing in sight to indicate tbat it will be acted upou, notwithstanding the implied support Mr. McKinley gave the scheme just alter the Indianapolis convention. The selection or ex-Bepresenta-nve Benjamin Butterwoitb, of Ohio, to be Cominissiouer of Pat ents, a place he-filled once before to the satisfaction of all those hav ing dealings with the office, can scarcely be considered political, as Mr. Butterworth has expressed opinions upon the tariff and silver questions that were a long wa8 from being in accord with those held by Mr. McKinley and the men who are dominating bis admiuistration and the republican party at this time. Mr. Butter worth's appointment can be cred ited to the friendship or Mr. Mc Kinley for hira,'aiul to his eminent fitness for the place. All of his experience and wide knowledge of pateut law and practice as wen as the prestige given by bis name will be needed by iir. uutterwonn to put tbe business of tbe patent office upon the high professional plane it should occupy. Tbey are telling a little story about Czar Reed at the expense of a number of Senators. According to the story, the Czar just before the meetiug of the extra session, attended a dinner party where tbe guests were nearly all Senators, some of- whom were expressing direful forebodings abont what would happen to senatorial dignity when "Billy" Mason, with bis free aud easy manners, entered that iulv. The Czar finally tired of that sort of thing, and turning to tbe Senators aked in that ex asDerattue drawl which be doesn't drop into so often in the House as he used to: wDo you think Mason will stay in the Seuate longenongh to become as dull as tbe rest of your Tbe office seekers have proven to be too much for Mr. McKinley and the official announcement ia made that be will this week run away from them by taking a little trm of two or three days for rest. Not much surprise was caused by tbe announcement tbat ex-Secretary Carlisle had been retained to look after tbe legal interests In the South of tbe J. Pierpont Mor gan establishment. Former Bark Covalr Man Wrttea a Letter for the Beaefll mt Hla Old Frirada la Barke Roegh Weather HsbMl MaaUag By Moonlight. To the Editor ef The Herald: I have received a few copies of yonr very valuable paper, aud yoo may be assured that it is a wel comed visitor to my home in the snowcapped bills of Idb, for through its columns I learn vf my former friends and kinsmen, and also how the politic.! I ma chinery is running in my old native State and county. I have thought of writing a letter to your paper for a u limber ol years, and was almost in the act or doing so last year, when I learned of tbe great Fred Douglas upheaval, so I bad to postpone my message until I somewhat recov ered from tbe shock. 1 am getting better now, and I hope that North Carolina, and espec'ally Burke county, my native home, is doing better. I saw in your paper that Mr. Bartlett Sisk was dead. I was grieved to learn that one of Bare county's staunch pillows bd at last yielded to tbe Dnffetings of Father Time. -Uncle" Bartlett was a kind neighbor and a merrj playfellow. I suppose that many of mv friends who read your paper would like to how tbu weather is in thin part of the wot Id. It is very cold there yet, with no prospects ol spring opening very soon. The roads are almost impassible, the snow being all the way from one to ten. feet deep. It shows aud the wind blows ; then tbe wind blovs and it snows. This Las lieen a very severe and disagreeable winter. The river has beeu lrozen over for nearly three mouths, but tbe ice and snow are melting little this week, but everything freezes hard at night, aud in the forenoon it, is a bard crust, while in the afternoon it is s!ub, blush. It is snowing here to night. I learn tbat some of the boys 10 Barke have killed as mauy as loo rabbits this wiuter. I wish that some of the boys who like to rab bit hunt were out bere, as rabbit are our greatest enemies. Thej are much larger than tbe rabbit. yoo bare, and are very prolific. Tbey are great destroyers or grain and other produce in tbe winter. We have to wrap oar apple tree, to keep the rabbits from eating the bark off of them. Vhn the snow is deep, like it is now, they visit -our haystacks at night in droves.' Tbe boys have lots of fan shooting rabbits 'by moonlight; one or my neightors killed twelve at one shot the other night. One or my daughters, Mr. W. P. Berry, bas been shooting rabMts by moonlight this wiuter. Tbe largest number she has killed at one shot was four. AH tbe neigh bors tnrn out occasionally and have a rabbit drive. In this way we sometimes kill as many as 4,OX) in one day. The county pays bounty or cents pef head forth rabbits killed. There is alo plenty of other game iu this part of the country, such as wild chicken., ducks aud geese, deer, elks, bears, mountain sheep, goats, and moose. I will close for this time by wish ing TnE Herald all possible suc cess. Yours respect rullv, . W. W. Paeks. Right, Idaho, March IS, 197, Aa Affldartt. This is to certify that on May 11th.
