The Manufacturers" Record, in an ar ticle Loaded "Poor North Carolina." says: "The sympathy (if e verybody Inter ested In the development of States of the South will be aroused by the latest blow Riven to North Carolina, already staggering under Inlluenres detrimen tal to Its real interests. The great body of the Intelligence of the State feel keenly not only the practical effects of the policy now dominating its politics, but also realize the influence that pol icy may have upon outsiders who oth erwise would help to develop the mani fold resources. "Among the agencies of administra tion in North Carolina Is a railroad commission. For months It has been conducting Itself In a way not particu larly of advantage to the State. Where It was merely a case of fractional dis putes about spoils sensible people cnu'd feel only disgust . Hut at Its last ses sion it aimed a blow at the material Interests of the State, which should be met by every legal means available. At one move It passed an order re ducing passenger rates on the Seaboard Air Line and the Southern Hallway to two and one-half cents first-class and two cents second-class per mile. "This action was taken in the face of absolute proof that n reduction of the cxistinR rates would cripple the rui' roads. lis foolhardlness may be bc' ter comprehended w hen it is k:i mn that North Carolina has a pooul.-ition of thirty-three to th" square mile, and that the only other roads In the coun try on which I lie rate of fare is as low as that for first class on those In Ninth Carolina under the new ruling are those in Hhode Island, wl leh has a popula tion of 354 to the square mile: tin.' main line of the New Yoi k Central, in New York, whl-h I. as a population of to the square n.ile. and three lines in Mas sachusetts.

The result will teach the peo ple of the Stale the ilnnger of entrust ing Important tlatles to men unwilling to heed teasmable statements." THE IX HI KILLER KILLED. The Queer Animal Is at Last Captured In Vance County. Our friend Dr. W. T. Cheatham, who enjoys a good story gives us the fol lowing account of an exciting episode which recently occurred In the old Shat ter neighborhood. near Cokesbuiy church, says the Henderson Gold Leaf. A most amusing and exciting Inci dent occurred near old Shatter a few days ago. The report was circulatid n the neighborhood that there was a dangerously vIcIoub animal of some sort at large and that It was perilous for women or children to go from home alone. A colored man's premises had been invaded by the beast and four stout cur puplea were killed and eaten. The mon ster had been seen at night time on ' several occasions on the premises of one of the neighbors. So the men for several miles around jjith dogs, guns and a full supply of ammunition met at the house said to In most frequently visited by the dreaded animal. After maturing their plans and each man making a solemn vow- to stand firm In case of a desperate conflict with the much dreaded monster, a young land trusty man was stationed as senti nel to give the alarm If the animal should come. Then thev retired Into the house with dogs and guns to await developments and keep warm, as the night was perhaps one of the coldest of season. In the meantime there were other persons who were at work and plan ning for much fun. Thev procured a guano bag and formulated the shape of animal about the sice of an ordinary dog, and to carry out their plans took It to a body of woods about half a mile away, climbed a large tree and fas tened the fictitious monster on the top of a large limb high up. They then took a rag saturated with spirits of turpentine, and rubbed the body Of the tree with it, and by means of a string attached they proceeded to take !t through the woods In various directions Anally coming up near the house where the men were waiting In excited antici pation. The young man placed on guard was fully In the secret. He gave the alarm by firing hla gun and yelling at a furi ous rate, calling lustily for the braves In the house to come out and give pur suit. The dogs were soon in full cry on the track made by the turpentine rag. The small army of men were quick) on the scene ready to do and to die if necessary for the protection of the wo men and children of the neighborhood from this audacious animal. They prooeeded with caution before making the attack, as they thought it wise not to get too near the tree lest the devilish animal Jump out upon some of them and do them up. Seeing, as they supposed, the object of their pursuit securely crouched on a larg,? limb high uo the tree, the command was given and the shooting commenced. For an hour or more the woods and country around reverberated with the sounds of the rapid firing of breech loading guns. A halt was called and a council of war was held. One brave fellow ventured the opin ion that he was dead and volunteered to climb the tree to determine the mat ter. While ascending the tree for In Nestigation he passed a hollow. Think ing perhaps there might be squirrels In it he Ignited a match and dropped it in tile bole, pursuing his journey up ward, soon to be startled by the blaze of a racing tire, the result of his indis cretion in dropping the lighted match in the hole. The situation at this juncture was quite interesting a raging fire below and that terrible animal above; the question was what to do to extricate himself from the unenviable position Ills friends called to him to Jump out, but this was a perilous undertaking, so he hesitated to take the risk. One gentleman feeling acutely the responsi bility of the alarming slate of affairs called to him to pray, but his response was that he didn't know how. The fire rapidly increasing below caused him to solve the problem. Calling to his friends he said "pile up the leaves and hold the dogs for I am coming." Fortu nately for his safety the tree was thick ly set with limbs which impeded his downward orogress. and served to break the force of the fall. He land 'd safely wilh no material injury outsid" nf a good shake up. Another trouble was now to be met. The dogs already in a high slate of ex citeiuente broke loose and for a time matters laooked bad and excitement ran high, for they pounced upon the unfortunate fellow putting in their work in earnest. However they were ,i !- -l off be 'r-n!' owners and order ua- restored It vns found that no spot ial daina; e I ;ol been done to the ail e.,' urous ": 1 - n-:; :i. only bis coat eoliar had 1" :. learly lorn off lv a vi-i nius and vi.ious cur and some marks of his teeth were seen about his in i-U. whi'e his pants and lower ex it. 1. lilies had stllTeled from an attack f another cur aided by scleral noisy and ex. bod ittl 'botes In the form of 111" 111 Vol lice. tin ninti'i .'i: frtn the shaking up he bed i-cccii ctl it '11 tie' fall and the ib'ts it was li liiitl th; t he was not at all satisfied In his uilte.1 as to the char acter of the liallM- r up tile tri.e. He had S". 11 the huge si. ols on him and w.tmssel s'rtiifi ant tuovemetils of hi.i tail.

Thus ended the celebrated hunt which will long be rentenib?red by the people of that vicinity. The primary object and reason for the origination of the story that there was a dangerous animal at large was simply to frighten a few over-anxiuos individuals. rnexpectedly, however. the frlghtspread like the contagion of measles and a large number were In fected, resulting in the exciting hunt above described.

Superintendent Charles It. Ray of the county workhouse, was seen today and spoke of a recent Statement which ap peared in a paper here containing a sugestion that the board of aldermen should adopt an ordinance directing the mayor to send such offenders against city ordinances as are unable to pay their fines to work at the city quarry instead of sending them to the county roads "to Superintendent Kay to work the roads or runaway just as they think best." Superintenilc'it Kay said in an inter view that he had nothing to say in re gard to the suggestion above made, bat he makes the statement that he has had sent him from this city since ,11c lias been superintendent Inn prisoners with an average term of 4., days each and that be lost only enough prisoners sent from the city to make Hi days for one man. He says that ill making trusties he is carrying out the plan used by his predecessor and money is saved to the county by doing so. In regard to the report about Tom Robertson Mr. Ray said it was a false hood. He said further: " Voung cliain hlee had business in the country for the county. 1 told him to take a man with him as is usual. Tom Robertson was the man chosen because lie knew the road in the section lo be visited. So far as allowing Tom Robertson lo dress up in citizen's clothes and go home and stay two days, it is a falsehood. "Von can say for me," said Mr. Ray. "that I am handling prisoners tor the best interests of the county, as I see it. and not in a manner to effect compro mises, a Ihing 1 have nothing to do with one way or the other, and no amount of abuse and misrepresenta tions has or will have any effect on me.
