Last Friday morning he heard - shooting along the river " on his land near the Quaker bridge. He went in search of the trespasser and saw some one shoot ing squirrels but wa nnable to tell who It Was or his color as he was in a thick undergrowth or shrubbery. The man kept himself concealed and though Mr. Bimmons hailed him he got ' hp answer. On returning he mentl med the trouble he had to locate the poacher. , : f Again on Saturday morning shooting was heard In about the same locality and Mr Bimmons got his gun and stsrted 4fn th j direction of the shooting determined to forcibly put an end to the poaching. This was the last lime he was seen alive;;':,. i:i 5 .f 1 i'l Nothing was thought of the fact Jhat Mr Plmmons failed to appear at dinner but at supper lime his - absence caused alarm. It was supposed that he had gone to Po'locksvllle to inspect a lot ' of his tenant's cotton. When he failed to appear later in the day and on finding that ho bad not been to Pollocksvllle, friends became alarmed and searching 1 parlies were organized.' They were at! work until Mo at night and were un successful. Early Sunday morning the search was rooewed and the party found his body about 60 yards from the river bank and 100 yards from; the Quaker bridge. The gun he carried was found 80 feet distant ready to shoot. This would indicate that he dragged himself the full distance between the gun and the body in his desperate attempt to get to the road. i y It is said that cries of distress were heard Saturday morning in the nolghbor hood of Quaker bridge which immediate ly succeeded the gun shot. The cries were beerd for more than an hour. It was thought probable that he had lived until nearly night.; ' He had unfastened his clothing In bis endeavors to get re lief. -: ' ' " Bis body was perforated with No. 4 shot and they were found all, over the body from the neck to the abdomen. No other injury was discovered except . si slight braise on the hesd which might have been caused by falling. '' , , . The affair caused great excitement : In the little community of Mr Simmons home, known as Oliver, and also "in Pollocksvllle Sheriff Taylor was Im mediately notified and be was soon .on the scene and organized a posse. Suspicion was at once directed to a negro named Alfred Danleh. - He bad been known to hunt on the forbidden property and also to bid defiance to Mr Simmons saying he was going to bunt where he damn'd please. He had been seen skulling around the place and other circumstances 'pointed .to bis goilt. . - . ?. The negro wss su pr'ed by the sheriff who wu aimed and had his posse with him but he attempted to draw his pistol i and-shoot the sheriff. He wu quickly disarmed and placed Under arrest He offered no further resistance, sow ever.

Those who have never given the matter much . thoaght, can hardly eonclere of the great value of the Swamp lands in Duplin Co.

She came of a proud old French family and well knew that she must not be won too easily. ' Still she wished and Intended to be won. They both wished to be one. She looked at her lover passionately, leaned over him and was about to give him a shy, maidenly kiss when the house was violently shaken. "Algernon I An earthquake!" she shrieked In terror. "Hush, my darling," be said soothing ly. "It Is only I." She looked at him reproachfully a moment, then patted him playfully on the cheek. "That Is the third time tonight, AI gy," she said. "You must not move your feet again." "But, my own," he exclaimed with passionate fervor, "answer me. Will you be mine?" "This Is so sudden," she murmured. (She had been expecting It for six months.) "You must give me time." "Not a day; not an hour!" he cried. "Answer me. I will not I cannot wait." "Why so Importunate?" she asked. "I must be married at once today," he said. "Listen!

A curious instance of the power of music comes from the western ranches, where the cowboys have learned that they can sing cattle to sleep. At "bed ding time" a rider will ride to the front of a herd, stop it and then he will ride rapidly around and around it till the cattle are herded close together. He usually sings or whistles while he Is doing this, and presently one of the herd lies down, to be followed In quick succession by the others, till in ten minutes a herd of 600 may be all down. The cowboy now rides slowly around them, stopping occasionally If he de sires to, and whistling or singing, as he likes. But should the herd get up or become excited in the night he rides round rapidly and sings until they are quiet. New York Tribune. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.
