Goodpasture, of Nashville, Tanm, who represent a well known paper house, waa a Concord visitor yesterday. In addition to being a eap " Ital good fallow, Mr. Goodpasture is , a ventriloquist, and, possessing a most . genial nature, ha ia always ready for t the humorous, and never hesitates to . praetiee the art of throwing his voice - in any direction to create a little fan : and merriment. Being the owner ef , a name that ean hardly be spoken in . one word by the average person pos- sibly he finds it easy to call other names, but he says bis is easy when you think of what the eowr graze on. Evidently the bo vines have passed him ' over as he is some hefty fellow, tip- - ' ping the beam in the neighborhood of 200 poonda. - Yesterday morning Mr. Goodpas ture aad The Man About Town went - to the station together, but before starting he made a bell boy fall a vic tim to his voice. The negro was standing against a poet taking a short siesta, when : the small faint voice ' said: "Nigger, keep away from this post" Opening his eyes the negro looked around. Not seeing anyone he - thought called him he settled .back and resumed his nap. Presently the ' v voice called out the same words. The negro looked up quickly and after sur- " veying the surroundings . he again leaned back. "Say, nigger, if you don't git away from dis here post Ise gwine ter knock yer head clean :" off," said the voice. Immediately the -' negro looked up startled, with his - body quivering and the kinks of his nappy head almost straight he risked . one glane at the post and made a " . dive in the hotel lobby. Down at the station Mr. Goodpas- tore went to the ticket window where . a big crowd was buying tickets and while standing in the midst of them the voice called out: "No. 36 i& two hours late." Instantly there was a flurry, people picked up baggage add prepared, to journey back up town, ; while others made a rush for the bul letin board to 'verify the statement. , Coming out the outside of the sta-' - tion, where a txMfiiuatogeti " were collected, The Man" About Town ; picked but individuals for him to call. Seeing Rev. J. W. Long, a forms citizen of Concord, he was selected ' as a victim. "Brother Long," came the voice, and no sooner had it sound ed than Mr. Long gazed in the diree tion, from -whence it came. Several times be was called and on each occa . sion be showed a willingness to re ' spond but not until yet is he wise. V Mr. James Grier was the next to have v his name sounded, and he, too, show ed an inclination to readily respodH but was manifestly bewildered,.: But Policeman Tom Miller waa the nicest, softest, victim imaginable 4 and , the astonished look, on" his face when jnak an effort to ascertain the person call - ing him was worth going a good ways to see. If yon - will read this, Mr. Miller, you will find why you looked around so intently at the numerous people in an effort to find who was ' calline- you. And. why you appeared so utterly astounded when you could - not find them. : And finally why you ' i walked over toward a truck, where a ; " number of boys were sitting. You ." were easy, Mr. Miller, veryvery easy. - -i. ' Mr. J. M. Burrage, however, was not naoDinar. " Mr. Burrage, Uh, Mr. Burrage," came faintly, just above . 1 a whisper, and lor a moment he ap - r peered to take notice but a repetition x of bis name showed that he was wise ' and he was left unmolested, - - , Two gentlemen were standing, sev-1 , era! lest away ana near mem waa row of grips.:. "You are standing on - my grip,", said the voice.'? "I cer 7 tainly beg your pardon" said one of the men to the other as, haSfiJed ' " down and moved the grip away. ' f i No, 36 rounded the bend about that 1 . time and the Voice" departed but not until it had proved a source of great amusement to a number who were "on. ;, .The Reception Last Night. ' Parks-Bolk ft Co. department stores Were auspiciously opened last eight with a reception to tbe pabKe from toil' o'clock. The large - store rooms filled with a well selected stock of nraeticallv everything in merchan dise presented an inviting scene to the several hundred visitors who called during the . evening. The visitors were welcomed toy Messrs. J. 0. Parks, R. V Matthews and the members of ; the clerical force and shown through out the various departments. Re freshments were - servod by Misses " Mrv Olina and Myrtle Broom, mem bers of the clerical force. Music was rendered during the reception hours by the Forest Urn Band. There waa a small fire in the pielter room of the Brander mill last night luinnt 10 o'clock but the blase was soon extinguished. Very little dam age was done. NEWS rSOM KAXNAFOLIS.

Tuacarora Declares 3: Per Cant Dividend. Mill to Bagia Ban ning Full Time Monday Morning. Personals. The finals of the grammar school at Reidsville, Mt Pleasant 's colored east side, prineipaled by W. B. Parker, were characterised Saturday night by a phenomenon peculiar to that local ity. Rocks, the siie of a man 'a fist, became dismembered from old mother earth and began flying about In mid air with great force and violence. A number of colored visitors who chanc ed to be in the path of these flying me teors, received more or less of a jar by the sudden contact; The situation demanded attention. W. R.'a reputa tion aa an educator and entertainer were at stake and his scientific mind was baffled. He moved with dispatch and precision. Constable J. L. Lefler, who ia a scientist of some note along lines of practical geology, an unrav eller of natural phenomena, as well as a whole peace congress within him self, was hastily .called upon the scene for expert opinion, but to his great disappointment the strange disturb ance did not occur again and ho was forced to retire from the field, resting his investigations, like the Henderson ville jury, upon the basis of an "un known cause." It may have been a case of higher education turned loose. Football will be introduced at the Collegiate Institute this season for the first time, so far as we have been able to learn, in history of tbe anstitutioine here. The first tryout was held Mon day afternoon. Quite a number of young men volunteered and good ma terial for a successful team will not be lacking. The team will be under the personal care and coaching of Capt. Cripps and Prof. Welsh, both of whom have had long experience in col lege football and thev will doubtless round up a formidable squad that will be a credit to the school The final line-up will not be made for some days yet. In the meantime a schedule is being arranged. Owing to the absence of Mayor Shuping from town during the win ter, Prof. J. H. V. risher was elected mayor pro tern at, meeting of the board .Monday, night. ,.Tbia act ex tends .the , Professor's disciplinary, power beyond the confines of Mont Amoena Seminary. The directors of the Tnscarora Cot ton mill met Monday afternoon. Not withstanding the severity of the times they declared a semi-annual dividend of 3 per cent. Mr. J. W. cannon, president oi ine Tnscarora, spent Monday afternoon here attending the meeting of the o rectors and inspecting the plant, lie expressed himself well pleased with the mill and its work. If the present overhauling of ma chinery is completed on time, the Tnscarora will begin running full time Monday morning. This is good news to the operatives who have pre ferred to remain heredunng the shut down rather than go elsewhere. Many who have gone to other mills are pre paring to return. . ' . . ' Kev.

The reasons are set forth as follows:' "The trial judge in recommend ing the pardon of the prisoner says : 'If I had known tbe facts before the adjournment of the court thai I learned immediately after, I would not have sentenced him. I believe the facts stated in the petition are undoubtedly true.' The prisoner s wife, the prosecutrix, states that In the heat of passion and through -the influence of. relatives she instituted the prosecution without time to re flect that prisoner has heretofore been committed to the State hospital for insane and that he still suffers mere or less from mental weakness.
