I left Kayetteville and made in V uciiarlure lor luiuiM-rion, Rnlieson countv, N. C. I had just recovered from a eriodical spree, and something seemed to whiser in my ear that I was tro in to the funeral of all my hofies and in a short siwice of time my joyous anticiwtions would 1 en tomhcd in an unknown jrave. I was 'on the old stae road and the distance Iwtween Kayetteville and Lumlierton on that line is thirty three miles. After traveling some six or seven miles I came up to a fence, and in a few seconds I saw a little 'loj cabin, and in the yard ! I discovert I a cart. After hailing; at the tfate two or three times the man of the house answered my call and told me to come in. I told him that printing newsaers, Bi Uis and hymn-looks was my pro fession, ami that I was on my way to ljmlierton, where I exected to jet a go! xsition, and for the services rendered f rom tny immac ulate brain I would receive a very high salary so high, jerhas, that I could hardly reach it.

After my arriva at the village on the hill I went to the home of Mr. Itagan, father of .the tyiio working in Iaurinburg, :.!. 1L' wnert l spni llie nigui. r..rr.- thing had a homelike apiearnce. . . i Mini nftir sinuier we went into llie - " - . . sitting - itom, where we prtceeile.l to talk aU)iit the events of the day. I considered myself a gooil conversationalist at that time, and - , I cut loose my tongue strinirs and i told him tales that would bring terror to a man with an iron nerve. We talked aUmt ghosts, robUrs, la . m a a I the subtle qualities 01 uie rain3- !. snake, religion and iiolitics; in . fact my mind was drifting into the unfathomed sea of imiossibility, for we talkeil aUiut things that happened, of things that didn't la 1 Lhapiien, ami 01 inings mai never wouM hapMn. Immetliateh after breakfast I went up iii to the village, entered the Argus printing office, where I introduced myself to the comiosi tors ItoJ Cannon, the foreman; Bob Kuiidit, son of the editor; Tom Cobb, ami several other boys, whose names I cannot now men tion. I worked in Wadesboro a few days, ami after a refreshing sleep in a cart behind the Argus ofltce, I iackitl my trunk - two shirts and n pair of socks, all neatly tied in a aper bundle and turned my steis toward Monroe, that was on the morning of September I lth, 17:1. I traveled, over the red hills of Anson, 011 the old stage road, with a weak stomach, but something told me that there were lietter days ahead rich fields to In discovered and with a cheerful heart I journeyed on un til I reached the coming chief industrial point of Union county. A gentleman by the name of Covington, living a short distance from Polk ton, took care of me that night, and his excellent lady preiared a fine supper for me. The nice things on the table suited my taste, for that was the first square meal I had that day. I was considered to le an ex ceedingly fast compositor in those dajs anil as a matter of course. I felt very proud as I multiplied the little letters for the Enquirer, to be printed on the Washington hand-press, aparing in the issue of Tuesday, September 16th. Billy Wolf had a koen eye for business and struggled hard to build up a creditable county news paper. Boylin, who became fa mous in the summer of 1878 as a snipehunter, was a yery Rood writer and seemed to take a . great deaf of interest in his journalistic work. That night I commence:! I warding with Mrs. Wolfe, mother of Krank .Wolfe, and with the dollar iti my pocket, which I re ceived from Watt Itoylin, I assum ed an all-important feeling ami pic to red in my mind that I won Id soonlon.earailliooaire,esecial - ly Vlien under the influence of Monroe's corn whiskey, which llowed almndantly at that lime.

It was about super time, or a short time after wards, when I came up to the liotel, ami after a vain struggle to converse mteliisrentiy witn me ever-truthful lawyers and sober- minded statesnien, I slipped and fell to Uie ground, after which I became speechless, having the likeness of a fallen hero in defense of a just cause. Presently I was surrounded by a large crowd of citizens, who commenced rubbing me and using every method to res cue me from the cold and tight- grasping hand of death. A News pacer j Burden. (Monroe Journal.) A newspaer has a great many requests to cuss out somebody. There's, this man who feels that a certain oiiicer ought to be rapied, and he tells the newspai)er to do it. Here's another man who has grievance and he thinks the newspaier ought to fight it out for him. This is quite natural. and so far as purely public mat ters are concerned, there if some justice in the request of a private citizen that the newspaier say something aliout what he considers wronsr. The citizen himself has no way 01 maKing ins reelings nown and he naturally feels that the newspaer ought to champion lis cause. A newsimper doesn t object to any suggestions of this kind on public matters when they are made in good faith, but even then the paier that is worth any thing must follow its own judg ment and not be swayed into say ing something that will perhaps do more harm than good just be cause somebody thinks it ought to be said. But thore are a class of requests that come to news- Kilers that disgust the reiorters. Here is a fellow that Xscs as the champion of some great public in terest, and wants the pater to jump on some set of officers, and he doesn't ojen his mouth lefore the reiorter knows that he is merely seeking to get the paper to hit somebody through revenge or in the hoe that it will be a benefit to himself. Of course, the reiorter pays due resect to his conversation ind at once forgets it. Not Sister. Now His Wife. New York. Romance in real life has just been revealed by a remarkable narrative of Harry Morris (.onion, a chauffeur, who, wandering alxnit the country for years with a woman believed by him from infancy to have been his sister, found that they were not related and recently married her. (j onion was a boy of 10 on a (Jarrettsville (Ohio) farm, where there was born to those whom he Mievcd to be his parents, a daughter, christened Beatrice. Mrs. .(ionlon died when the boy was 13 vears old, and later his supfjosed father went to Australia, where he died. Gordon finally made his way to the Klondike, whence he returned seven years ago with gold and found his sister. Krom that time the two lived under the same roof, (ionlon working as a chauffeur. In the San Krancisco earthquake they lost practically all they own ed and came to New York, where they lxth found employment. The couple 'were surprised one day to receive a visit from an un cle from Minnesota, whom neither had seen for 15 years. hy don't you two get married ?" the visitor exclaimed suddenly. Then, with little more preamble, he told them an unknown chapter in their lives. The boy, he said, had been left an infant on the doorstep of his upios parents ami had lieen adopted. Other relatives were sought, and confirmed the story, and at the uncle's suggestion the voung iKople decided to many, and are now happily united in a flat in West Thirty-eighth street. Something to Eat. (Farm and Factory.) When a town fellow visits a country home and they set him down to a table laden with hick- orywood smoked-ham as sweet as nectar, fried eggs fresh from the chicken factory home-made bread, butter churned liefore breakfast, milk and cream that never saw chalk- or water, , with a score of sweetmeats and pastries and fruits. and then apologize to him for not having something to oat, he can not help but wonder what they do have when they are expecting coraimny.

Northern historians grow elo quent wjien they write about the blood sheil at Lexington and Bun knr Hill, hut they have little to say about the blood shed at Ala ima iw.penS' VUH- rt "ouse. Lu taw Springs, 1 1 f ! Charleston and King's Mountain, 111 which many of the pioneers oJ Tennessee gained imperishable re nown. The first organized resistance to British tyranny in America was by th iimple of North Carolina in 177o. The lirst Imttle of the revolution, which gave indeen dence to the colonies and the first blooit sheil in that cause was on the ICth of May, 1771, when the forces of Governor Tryon, nuni bering 1,100 men, met about 200 of the ' Regulars" at Alamance, in Orange county, North Carolina In the Iwtttle that ensued there was stubiiorn lighting until the ammu nition of the Regulators was ex hausted and they were driven from the field. Twenty of these brave men were killed and several prisoners were taken, one of whieh was hung without trial, and twelve others were convicted of hiirh treason and executed. The loss of the British in killed, wounded and missing were sixty -one men. North Carolina, the mother of Tennessee, was the first of the col onies to throw the gauntlet of de fiance in the face of the British. The lattle of Lexinyton was fought on April It), 1775, and one month and a day later, on May 20th, the Mecklenburg Declara tion of Indeendendencc was sign ed at Charlotte, 27 brave men af fixing their names thereto. A number of the descendants of these signers found their way to Ten nessee, among them the Brevards and the Alexanders, ancestors of the families of those names now residents of Sumner and other counties in Tennessee. Edmund Burke said: "Wher ever slavery exists, in any part of the. world, those who are free are y far the most proud and jealous of their freedom and tiiese indo le of the Southern colonies are much more strongly and with a higher and more stublxmi spirit attached to Iilrt-rt.y than those to the north wanl." Bancroft said: "We shall find tliat the lirst voice publicly raised In America to dissolve all connec tion with Great Britain came not from the Puritans of New Eng land, or the Dutch of New York, nor the planters of Virginia, but from the Scotch-Irish Presbyteri ans" of North Carolina, the moth er of Tennessee. But the Scotch Irish were not all Presbyterians, man3' of them were Methodists, and it apiears that large, numbers of the early pioneers of Sumner county w ere of the later faith. Why She Sang the Hymn. (St Joseph News Pres.) A well known bishop relates that while on a recent visit to the South, he was in a small country town, where, owing to the scarci ty of good servants, most of the ladies prcfered to do their own work. He was awaken quite early by the tones of a soprano voice sing ing "Nearer, My God, to Thee." As the bishop lay in bed he med itated uon the piety which his hostess must possess which en abled her to go about her task early in the morning singing such a noble hymn. At breakfast he sjioke to her about it, and told her how pleased he was. ."Oli, law," she replied, "that's the hymn 1 loil the eggs by; three verses for soft and five for hard." Observation on Yoon? Men. (Leesville News.) Young man, let us give you the lienefit of our observation. We have noticed that atleast nine-tepths of the young men who have l)een before the courts for misdemeanors are those who take no interest whatever in education, seldom read a newspaier, and are always ready to make fun of other young men who use correct language and try to le somelnxly. It comes natural to them to discourage the studious and ambitious young men of their acquaintance. Their minds run towanl dirty stories, midnight sprees and bad company. This in a short time means trouble, a sheriff's invitntian to attend court, and a fine or a term in jail. The Congregation Smiled. Two country clergymen had agreed to exchange pulpits on a certain date. One of them made the following solemn announce ment to his congregation on the Sabbath previous to the event. "My dear brethern and sisters, I have the pleasuse of stating that on next Sunday morning the Kev. Zachariah B. Day will preach for you. Let us now sing two verses of hymn No. 489, That Awful Day Will Surely Come.' " And it took him sometime to discover why the congregation smiled. Ex.

Norfolk, Va., Sept. IS. Rather than serve 20 years in the peniten a.: 1 1 1 - .. tiary for kidnaping Kenneth Beasley, the 9-3'ear-old son of State Senator S. M. Beasley of Currituck connty, N. C, Jishua Harrison placed a pistol to his temple ami blew out his brains this afternoon in his room at the Gladstone Hotel, while officers were waiting in the lobby to ar rest him for the North Carolina authorities, for lieing a fugitive from justice. The Supreme Court of North Carolina yestenlay denied Harri son a new trial. He was out on a $3,000 bail. STORY OF THE CRIME. The crime for which Harrison was convicted was the kidnaping of the 9-year-old son of State Senator S. M Beasley of Popular Branch, Currituck county. On the afternoon of March 13th, 1905 during recess of the school lie was attending near his home, the boy mysteriously disapieared. The woods and swamps near by w ere searched systematically many weel after the boy disappeared, but not the least trace of the boy was ever found. Skilled detecti :es were employed by Mr. Beasley, but they met with no more success man tne raiimui tnenus aou neighbors of the Currituck Sena tor. Streams were even tl rauired with the hope of finding in them the body of the dead boy, but the efforts were fruitless. To this day not the least trace of Kenneth has been found. Mrs. Beasley was prostrated by the tragedy and las been in a critical state of lealth ever since Suspicion was at once centered on Joshua Harrison, he having been seen in a buggy that after noon driving rapidly with a child covered up with blankets, which was recognized )y its voice as the missing Kenneth. The mule and 1 1 1 uuggy were also recognized as larrison's. The child was crying and Harrison was talking to him in a soothing manner. Harrison was seen in Norfolk at 2 o'clock the following Tuesday morning I Later dispatches say that Har rison left a letter denying his guilt, while Mr. Beasley claims that Harrison has carried to the grave the secret of the whereabouts of his little son. Death Under Train. (Charlotte Chronicle isth.) The body of William II. Des mond, Jr., aged 17 years, a prom ising lad of the city, was literally cut to pieces last night about 10:30 o'clock by train No. 35 shortly after it left the Southern station. The young man's head was severed entirely from his body; both legs were cut off and every other part of his body was badly bruised and mangled, frag ments of flesh were scattered along the track for several yards. Those who made the ghastly find believe that the young man leaped from the train at the Sec ond street crossing and as his body came in contact with the huge pile of cinders, it was hurled back and thrown across the tracks. A num ber of boys had gone to the sta tion to see a visiting young lady off and they all agreed to go to Gas tonia, returning on a later train. Mr. Desmond was one of the par ty and is, believed to have changed his mind and jumped from the train as it reached the coal chute. This is the most piausable theory that can be formed by the unfort unate young man's friends. Need Praying For. (Italeigh News and Observer.) Choirs need praying for some times. More than once a church has been set by the ears because of a quarrel in the choir. Last month in a North Carolina church of prominence differences growing out of choir controversies caused a serious split. As a rule members of our church choirs, who are not paid, render loving and faithful service, and the whole congrega tion owes them a debt of gratitude. But if the demon of envy and jeal ousy gets in the schoii, may the Lord have mercy on that church. The Cleveland Star tells of an old fashioned Methodist bishop in St. Louis who recently jnade this prayer: "And Lord, bless the choir, bless every member,, and bless what they sung today. Bless the words of the song, for thou, Lord, knowest what they sung, though we did not understand a single word." If we just could understand the words of the songs they render, all the rest would be forgiven to the choir. 1 r i.- .. .... Hope For the Country. (Monroe Enquirer.) A publishing house in Connecti cut is publishing thousands of that old song book, the "Sacred Harp" a book which has been out of print for years. One million copies of "Webster's Blue Back Spelling Book" are being printed. As long as these two books are used there is hope for the country.
