We clip the fol lowing items ( f interest from its colums : The congregation of the Pres byterian church of Lexington, have extended a call to Rev. Mr. Caidwell, of Barium springs, to serve as pastor of their church here. The call as yet has not been accepted. It is rumored that there is to be a woolen mill esta dished here in tho near future, i !so another large cotton mill that will employ between 400 and 500 hands. We cannot give particulars at present, but the prospect is go d. The citizens meetiu relative to the sstablishmeut ofgi ;ded schools for Lexington was w-ll attended last Friday night. Another meet ing will be held in the grand jury room of the court, house on next Friday uight at 7 :C0 o'clock. Ev ery citizen of Lexington is earnest ly requested to be present. Y e will publish the results of the meetings in our next i?sue. Dr. Joel Hill, county superin tendent ot health, presented his report to the county commissioners for the past month, which stated that there were no contagious dis eases iii the jail or county home; he also reported that two families of four members each have had smallpox, one family has been released, the other is still under quarantine. He further staf s that a negro named L-ivi Holt, is reported to have the disease and is rut ning at large. The superin tendent had made several efforts to tind the negro and : ailed. At thejr meeting h re Tuesday, the board of county c mmissioners issued an order to the effect that a chain gaug beestab ished lor the purpose of working tl J convicts of Davidson county on the public roads of Lexington township, as provided for in chapter 875 of tho laws of 1893 of the code. The j board also ordered th road trus- make all necessary provisions for mnintaiuing and working the con victs assigned thereto, as provided for in said law. J F Hedrick was elected superintendent of the chain gang to serve until his. successor is elected and installed. i WAS EXCEED1X6LY 6EERQ'J$. Mrs B. Edgar UfspyBiTSS $500 to i Yesterday evening a tramp call- ed on Mrs. R. E. Lufsey and set up the usual beggar's plea of be ing out of . work. Mrs. Lufsey doesn't believe in encouraging tramps by supporting them, but as this one was a smooth bore beg gar, she thought she would chance a nickel on him. She gave it to him remarking, "Hera's a nickel." 'A nickel?" said the surprised tramp. The tone of his voice in dicated astonishment and' Mrs. Lufsey asked to see what amount she had given him, for . she had not examined closely. The tramp said, "it's a nickel." Mrs. Luf sey again asked to seee the money and the fellow again said it was a nickel. In a very decided man ner Mrs. Lufsev demanded that he show the money to her. He did and to her great astonishment, she had given him a five dollar gold coin. Of course she amended the donation so as to read, "five cents." A "Woman's Rights Person." An old Virgin a gentleman arose in a car the other day and with a great flourish of his slouch hat of fered his seat to a beautiful and hiudsomely dressed woman. "Take my seat madam," he poli tely requested. The lady demurr ed. "Take my seat, I beg you, madam," he ius;sted. "I could not allow a lady to stand, unless," he added under his breath, "she was one of those women's rights people," The lady bristled visibly. "I,", she said in freezing tone "I am a "woman's rights per son. "Take my seat jjustr the same, madam," said the gallant old gentleman smilingly. "You are too good looking to be suspected 'TtrTryftftia Leslie's Weekly, Anont the Way of it. 'A country editor has his -opinion of tho kicker and is not afraid to rxpress it. Thus he says : "Whenever you fine a man finding fault with a local paper, open it up, andteu to one he hasn't an advertisment in it : five to one h never gave it a job of work ; three to one he does not take the paper ; two to one that if he is a subscrib er he isjdelioquent; even odds he never does anything that will help the publisher to run a good paper, and forty to one that it the paper is a good one and full of life, he is the most eager to see the paper whe it comes out." More truth than poetry. We have a "good friend" who we feel confident would miss a good di: ner any time to gtto read our paper and who frsqueutly tells us. "Yes, you just whoop 'em up on that subject. You can doit; every- body reads your paper." And yet that man is not a subscriber to any paper published in Gastouia, and we doubt if he ever contribute ed one cent to their support. Whitelaw Reia says he has sen a great many people who were not able to subscribe for a newspaper. out he has nver yet found one who was not able to eit one. Gastonia News.

A EIB EECCRD WITH GAiiE, UrJFEeatti lit Soldi .World c!6ks TkisSeasoa. Mr. J F Beatty who carries the mail between Salisbury and Black mer has sold mre small game t han any one of whom we have heard. Ke has brought to town 1532 rab bits; 831 birds; and 830 squirrels, This is a tremendous amount of meat: The past game season has been a very prolific one, there being more rabbits than has been known for years. It seems like a paradox, but it is true, that the more game that is slaughtered in a season, the greater amount ap pears in succeeding seasons. BT PERRY P. TETTICK. Forthe'TCTB-lHEX. I am going to contribute this time a few words about women. This is a season of styles and as women are first and foremost in the promulgation of fashions, I thought I might say- just a few words for the girls. I am a bach elor with little hankering for a dissemination of my one-sided happiness. But I'm dad-limmed, as young Jule Carr used to say, if it lies in man to criticise the fads of femininity, and I side with the women. Mark Twain, when he used to gallop over the glob, wept a whole tank of humorous briue when comparing the Oriental and Occidental dress. In Ceylon, Mark revels in the gorgeous Mend ings of their green and orange, ru by and purple, "conflagrations of costume,' and then looking at his Am irican sisters and himself, be comes ashamed. In this he is about right. It is a notorious fact that n Oriental can take a strip V&tttiimUo XapXPurfcleAyour Wth.; : Only 25cmqney re- and a shred of tattered crimson add half a dozen beads, and you have a picture that Deity has on ly passed in the molten splendors of sunset skies. And I know, too, that an American woman will sometimes leave her feathered nestlings to starve in order that her straw stack may be adorned, and she will wait in smiling an ticipation while in the seal fish eries, the mother animals are har pooned to death in order that Mi ladi may wrap her limbs in furs fine aid silken enough to please her capricious fancy. And this with all the whalebone stiffenings and other trappings, that make her miserable, a la mode, it does seem strange. And yet they won't stop, I know. : The Oriental, being ignorant of the tortures of fashion, drapes her body in a long piece of cloth, un- cut and unshaped, caught in tht shoulder with a gem and beneath the bust with a strip of hammer- ea metai, ana soarapea, is an em- bodied dream of fair women. The modern wears a conglomerate paraphernalia that keeps two- thirds of our factories incessantly humming, and her tout ensemble is but a waiting aa. lor a modiste. Ulimatic conditions excuse mncn, but they don t justify the latter cantury gowns that look, like the collaborated creations of Kansas City Architect and a Denver up holsterer. BIOTB to Atosas.

Erc:t Bert. - : Mr. Cencil Howard, a gentleman employed by the Southern Rail road as a bridge worker, met with a serious accident yestetday. He had been out to work on a bridge and in going back towards the Union Copper Mine, (the switch . leading to it as we understood Captain Caldwell,) he was hang ing his legs below the steps where he was sitting. There was some wood along the side of the track aud as the car passed it, his trous ers caught out the wood and threw him from the steps under a wheel and his foot, was run over. All that was left to hold the foot, was . a piece of skin which the doctors cut in two, and his foot was then off. Mr. Howard was then put upon the train and sent to the Whitehea I-Stokes , Sanatorium where he will be treated. He was met at the station by Dr. Stokes and accompanied to the hospital. He suffered considerably while on the way, but he is a man of nerve and bore his pains well. It is not known how dangerous the wound may prove. It is known that he will receive the most skill ful of medical service. TUt tkobblflg HmiIscbs. V. Would quickly leave you, if yon used Dr King's New Life Pills.
