An. Error Corrected.
In our short comment in yester
day ' paper on ths law aa to sd testifi
candum proceedings ws fell into an
error in stating :
"It will be noted that he law says
that ha court (magistrate, polios just-,
iee. mayor of judge, as ths ease may
be) most have good 'reason to believe'
that a particular person at violating
ths law before ad testificandum pro
ceedings can be instituted against
him."
Ths law does not contemplate this
but states that when tha court baa
good reason to believe that any per
son within his jurisdiction baa knowl
edge of any faro-bank or faro-table,
or gaming tables, prohibited by this
chapter or pises where intoxicating
liquors ars sold contrary to law, then
it shall be lawful to summon snob per

Mr. Wads H. Harris, in bis Char
lotte CVoniels of Thursday, has the
following : ; ,,.
Big dsralopmenU are oa foot in ths
short stretch of territory between
Newell 's snd Bocky River, on the
Southern Road, all within lass than 18
miles of Charlotte. A short distance
north of Newell and within a few
rods of Back Creek church, ths South
ern soma time ago established a block
house. Travelers have noticed that
a store and several new reaidenees
have been bulk there and that leads
us ap to what is eommg. Tha block
station is called Hahn's. The fiuoth
ern is to build a depot there, and a
Charlotte merchant, 'Mr. McLaughlin,
is to build a roller flour milL Land
boot Halm's is selling at $300 an
acre. , " .
Bat a greater development scheme
is that planned by Mr. Frank Teeter,
at a point between Rocky river and
Coddle creek. Mr. Teeter is going to
found a town there. First, bo will
establish a bank for tbe benefit of the
farming community. Then be will
build a power plant at Lipa'a mill,
on Rocky river, a mile distant, and
invite manufacturing Industries. Mr.
Teeter, who ie going to found this
modern 'industrial town, last year
made 240 bales of cotton. Twenty
years ago be moved from No. 9 town
ship in Csbsrrns to his present locs
tion, rented a one-horse farm and
began Ufa. He is now worth about
173,000. He made it out of tbe
ground raising crops, and on the
ground, raising esttle, sheep aud hogi
Near Harriabiirg is a mineral wa

water is similar to that of Soasamon's
spring. The Htfrisburg people, head
ed, by Mr. Ed. Harris, ore planning
to build a sanatorium at Teefar's
spring and found a pleasure and
health resort A stock company to
carry out tbo project is now being
formed.
This development tone represents
one of ths richest snd most thickly

Overwhelming Defeat of Government
Forces in Kinkiang Battle,
Peking, Oct. 20. Tbe rebels over
whelmingly defeated the Imperial
troops at Hankow yesterday, accord
ing to a messsge received here today
from -tba scene of bsttle by way of
Kiukiang. . - ""
Direct telegraphic communication
with Hankow is tsill interrupted and
few details are. known. It is said the
Imperial forces losses were very
heavy snd that hs rebels are in com
plete control at Hankow.
The victorious rebels arc reported
to be ransacking Hankow now for
Msnchus andmercilessly killing them
wherever found. Not even babies are
spared. . The Chinese seem fairly mad
with hatred of the alien race which
has so long dominated their govern
ment and oppressed the country.
Diplomats hers do not believe that
foreigners at Hankow are in much
danger, aa accommodation can easily
be found for all of them aboard the
10 or 12 cruisers and gunboats off the
city, but it is feared they may suf
fer heavy property loss if forced to
abandon their homes snd places of
business.
The authorities are massiug troops
to defend the approaches to Peking at
present, but dissatisfaction is so gen
eral there is hardly a regiment in
the entire army: which can be relied
on. Scores of mutinies occur daily.
