CHARLOTTE HAS
' ' THING NEW.
SOME-
Occasionaly Sol rises on some
thing new in spite of the adage
that "there is nothing new under
the sun."
In1 the present instance the new
thing was a scheme to raise
money, conceived by a man an
nouncing himself to be "J. A. Ad
kins."
AdkinsV'plan is possibly witte
out a precedent in this or an oth
er age. lie began operations by
securing a horse and buggy from
a livery stable, under erroneous
representations concerning him
cslf, but when foe arrived in the
neighborhood of Chadwick and
announced that he was an officer
of the law with a batch of war
rants'against citizens of that sec
tion, and that said warrants
charged the said 1 citizens with
maliciously, wilfully, and with
force of arms, operating a blind-
tiger contrary to the statutes
made and' provided, and when the
fktitious officer demanded ample
bond money from his victims, and
pocketed the change with rare
grace, the. limit was reached. The
nerve which accompanies this
Get-Rich-Quiclc 'Wallingford has
made all those who -have heard
thereof to stand back aghast at
the amount of boldness display
ed by the pseudcMjmcer.- Ob
server.
GOVERNMENT SLANDERS
(?) GROUND HOG.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 2.
Because the ground hog is "total
ly unreliable" Uncle Sam's official
weather prophets today didn't en
deavor to discover whether the
animal saw his shadow. "The
ground hog story is absurd fool
ishness and rank superstition,"
said acting Director Williams,
"we don't take any stock in such
a yarn anyway. The animal is
totally unreliable."
GROUND HOG DAY.
Did the ground hog see its
shadow this morning. If so, look
out for the weather during the
next 40 days.
He has a big advantage over
the weather man at the govern
ment observatory in that every
body believes the prophecy of his
hagship. although he has been
known to make quite as bad
breaks if not so many as tnc
.,r...;..t n-rntliir observer. Mr.
I loir, who has been enjoying
long sleep in very comfortable
underground quarters all the win
torr-and. it may be mentioned,
escaped some pretty fierce weath
er hereabouts recently starts out
at high noon today to investigate
:ibove-!roi:nd conditions, to as-
certain if it will be safe for him
to give up his winter-quarters and
seek a site for his spring and sum
ntcr .habitation, where, if the out
look is all that he desires, as. to
tfTc weather, lie gets busy mak
ing provision for his comfort for
some months to come
If when he leaves his hole he
if the sun is" shining he will
tumble back as though he had
received an electric shock, so .un
promising a thing, as to weather
probabilities, does he regard his
shadow, it moaning to him and
everybody believes he knows
forty days of bad weather, which
he feels no disposition to face. If
he didn't see his shadow if it is
a cloudy high noon he will wave
adieu to his hole, on the theory
that the back of winter is broken,
and that there is plenty of good
weather ahead.
DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
Sometime yesterday forenoon
Mrs. N. G. Kinley, who lives in
Davidson, caught fire and burned
to death. She was found about
10 o'clock by her husband. The
deceased was a sister of E. T.
Iledrick and 11. II. Iledrick of
