Appointment.
Richard Brewer, Postmaster at
Wake Forest, who was appointed by
President Cleveland, has been re
moved and Dr. Timberlake whom we
suppose is also a Democrat, has been
appointed and took charge of the of
fice last Friday. There has been
quite a long fight over this office.
Willie D. Jones, Esq., was appointed
soon after the present administration
took charge, but he was turned down
on account of his living outside of the
limits of delivery. We , suppose the
matter is now settled; we hope every
thing will move on smoothly.

A Tragedy in the Swamp.
Detroit Free Press.
It was down on the Great Jackson
route. A freight train had met with
an accident, and so our train going
south was off time and had to run in
on a siding and wait for the light
ning express coming up from New
Orleans. Many of us were strolling
about picking blackberries or fath
ering flowers, when some one sudden
ly shouted
Everybody keep quiet and listen!
Hark!"
It was the deep, far away bay of a
hound, and after half a minute we
realized that it was coming nearer.
The dogs are running a deer!"
shouted one, "and if we string out
we may get a shot!" . : ;. ' r ?;
Fifteen or twenty men, each with a
revolver, strung out along the track,
and just then we heard the iron rails
begin to signal that the express was
coming. Two minutes later we heard
her whistle. There were three or four
dogs' in the chase, and as the' drew1
nearer it was evident that the game
would crops the track below the
bridge. We ran down to it, though
no one cared to risk the crossing. We
were hardly there when a coal black
negro, bareheaded and in rags, leap
ed out of the bush on the track and
stood facing us. The dogs had some
how lost him, and were baying in the
thicket forty rods away.
What his crime was we could not
say. He was a big fellow, and as he
stood there, arms folded across his
heaving breast, his face had a terri
ble look. He was only a pistol shot
away, but no one raised a weapon.
On the contrary, one of the crowd
shouted to him:
"Off the track or you'll be killed!"
He turned and saw the express
thundering down the level stretch
and then faced us again. The engin
eer blew an alarm, but he stood there
like a rock. The train was running
over that stretch as a pigeon flies,
sparks of fire Hashing from the rails
and a great cloud of dust whirling
behind it. and the speed could not
even be checked. The black man look
ed neither right nor left. The dogs
were coming nearer, but they
were too late. Those who did not
turn their faces aside saw the pilot
fling him fifty feet high, and, as the
body fell, it splashed into the creek
at our feet and lay there only half
hidden by the shallow waters
bruised, broken, dead. It had scarce
ly struck the water when five or six
dogs broke from the thicket and
crossed the tracks, and close upon
them were three or four men. They
were too late. The hunted man had
taken his choice of how he would die.
