Ernest Deal and Jeb Sherrill Swap
Horses.
Ron au Record.
Monday evening of last eek E.
. Deal, rural mail carrier, and Jeb
Sherrill, colored, both of China Grove
traded horses, about which there was
notliiiif; out of tlie ordinary, and it
was supposed by each that he had
done the other. But along in the
midnight watches brother Deal was
wakeful. He had placed his nag in
the barn alter an inspection, and no
doubt had some misgivings, so as he
lav awake, he heard a noise and he
interprctt'il said noise to be the re
sult of his new boss throwing a few
tits, consequently he could not sleep,
and finally arose in the darkness and
cold to go and awake Jeb and George
Davis, witness to the trade, and get
back, if possible, his former nag. Jeb
had given $.5.00 to boot and was sat
isfied but Mr. Deal was mournful,
yea weeping, and insisted upon the
re-exchange of the besats, and al
though Jeb did not wish to do so
finally agreed to a trade providea
Mr. Deal would pay him a difference
of $25. This ought to have balked
the most hardened trader that ever
came down the pike, but Mr. Deal
dup up the necessary cash and led
his original beast back to tlie barn,
minus the said $25. Sherrill got sus-
uicious and refused to take a check,
so the actual cash had to be found
before the deal was closed.
Just think about trading horses
at 1 o'clock at night and scurrying
about for the cash to close the trade.
There is no telling what some folk?
will do.
Denounces Husband as Forger,
A sensational trial is on in the
Federal court in Raleigh. J. Sprunt
Newton, a prominent citizen of
Fayetteville, was interested in tint'
ber transactions involving consider
able money. His wife was Miss Mc
Arthur, a .member of a wealthy
familv. Mrs. McArthur, Mrs. New
ton's mother, her brother and sisters
had endorsed for Newton. There was
a disagreement, which grew ont of
these financial tranactions, it seems,
and Mrs. Newton left ber husband
The Citizens' Bank of Norfolk, Va,,
brought suit against Newton on a
nota for $25,000. apparently endors
ed by Mrs. Newton and member of
the McArthur family. It is this Suit
that ia on trial. Mrs. Newton and
the McArthurs say their signatures
are foreeries. Mr. Newton say they
siirned the note. In eourt Wednesday
Mrs. Newton testified that when the
note went to protest and notice came
to the endorsers her husband tried
to make her say abe signed the note,
declaring tbat if she refused to do so
his character would be ruined, that
tbeir little on. would be disgraced
and that he would certainly shoot
himself. He tried to make er bring

Hundreds of Acres of Fine Farm
Land in Catawba Reclaimed.
Xewton, Feb. 20. pie dredging
machine at ork on Lyle's creek in
the Conover section is doing the work
rapidly ami in a way that will prove
substantial. The banks are giving
very little trouble. Those in charge
of the work on this creek are profit
ing by the experiences of those who
did the work on Clark's creek, the
first one dredged in Catawba county.
1 he Lyle s creek boat was started
about three months ago and already
more than tlire miles of the creek
has been ditched. There is more
swamp land lying along this creek
than any other in the county. When
the creek is opened up to the Yount
Mill place this will give to the farm
ers along the creek hundreds of acres
af the most fertile land to be found in
the State. The farmers are ditching
their bottoms as fast as the creek is
dredged. .
W. R. Hearst For Senator?
Reports from Phoenix, Ariz., any
that William Randolph Hearst aims
to be the next United States Senator
from Arizona. Mr. Hearst, it is said,
will establish a residence in Arizona
within the nest few months, and in
due time seek the Senatorial nomina
tion. It is said that Mr. Hearst has
purchased a large tract of land on
the Grand Canyon and is planning to
erect a modern hotel tbat will be one
of the most palatial and commodious
in the entire west. - Mr. Hearst rep
resentative admitted the truth of the
land purchased, but said: "The hest
of the story is merely presumption
Mr. Hearst does not intend to leave
New York. He bought the site of
an old hotel merely because its sit
uation on the Grand Canyon appealed
to him."
