A MOUNTAIN THAfiliOY a 1-mi ii r Glrl Aecimeti Her Ileereinit Lover of Ioii ble IM 11 rder. Nows and Observer. Facts in regard to what is believed to have been a foul murder have just come to light in Cherokee county. In December, 189".),' Chas. Mason omi John Sheiman, two men who had impn workinsr for the Hisor Lumber Conwany, at Tellico, in Cherrtkee coun ts started across the mountaius for their home in Graham county, with Reveral months' pay in their pockets. They had been drinking lreeiy mat dav: and as some weens naa eiapteu and no news was received ot them, the supposition was thai ttiey naa ueen frozen to death, though there were whispers of foul play. A short while afterwards a party from , juurpny were hunting deer in the mountains when their, driver discovered uie skeletons 'of two men. By the clothing sun clinging to the bones the deer driver recognized the missing men. In the clothing only a small sum of money was found. As it was the opinion of all at the time that the men had lost their way and had been frozen to death, the bones were Duneu, anu now wmii . 1 ... .1 ...V.i promises to be the sequel comes to light. , The Murphy correspondent oi uie Asheville Gazette gives the following recently discovered facts touching the death of the men: "Working at -the same place with Mason and Sherman was a young man, Chas. Dunboye, who did not bear the best of reputations. Under promise ot marriage ne nau seuui.uu uiu juung daughter of a mountaineer, whose veracity had never been doubted. Ihis girl now states that on the day of the him while the shadow of that monu disappearance of the two men, she saw mcnt is over the nation. Oh, my Dun hove stran a revolver around his waist, and take the trail into the moun tains through which the two men soon followed. She did not see her lover for several days, when in a confidential mnnfl and swearing her to secrecy, he told her that he had bushwhacked the men, that in their drunken condition it was an easy matter to kill and rob them : that as soon as matters became quiet he would marry her and they would have a gooa time on uie money. "Nearly a year followed and the mystery of the death ot tne two men was fading from the minds of all ex- cept the parties directly concerned and the loved ones at home, when Dunboye becoming tired of the girl deserted her, but not till he had told her mat ne would serve her as the two men whom he had murdered, if she told about the matter. After he deserted her and failing to make good his, promise to marry her, and about to become a mother, she went before a magistrate and made affidavit as to the above. The bones were exhumed and after a careful examination what was thought to be bullet marks were found on them Warrants were taken out for the young man upon circumstantial evidence and tlie P-irl'a sworn testimony, but he had w 0 - inaccessible mountains near tne j. en- nessee line. "Taxed to Oealli." No country enjoys so many blessings of government as the one we live in, in spite of the robbery of the trusts and the exactions of monopoly. Writing to the Monroe Journal from Furis, Mr. A. M. Stack says that when the farm ers "bring the products of their farms, t.hir beef, chickens, eggs, etc., to Pads for sale, they must pay a tax on them. The tax on a 'chicken is eight cents. The people here are taxed to death. That, accounts nartlv for the exorbitant prices of everything." Such taxation would not be tolerated here. fled and up lo the present has not been jarge headlines a press dispatch from apprehended, though it is thought that Oonellsville, Pa., an account of a fiend he is-in hiding in some of the almost jsn crime committed by eight negroes HILL A HP'S LETTER. 'Fret not thyself because of evildoers. Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way and bringeth wicked devices to pass." There is good philosophy and much comfort in that psalm. Its frequent perusal will forti fy us against trouble and leave us calm and serene at least for a time. 3ut I don't believe that David had as many things to exasperate him as we do. Now here is a Chicago religious paper sent to me to disturb my tranquility. It contains a sermon recently delivered by the editor to a large congregation of his'followers and they said amen and amen at every malediction that he uttered against our people. I don't fret myself about' what a northern preaoher says nor a northern editor writes, but I don't like that amen and amen from the saints, and it grieves me to realize that the more malignant an editor is against us the more sub scribers his paper gets, Now this Chicago editor says in his sermon: "If I were president when the next lynching takes place in the south I would put a cordon around that district and hang a hundred of . them and I would shoot a hundred. Worthy of cannibals arc the horrible things car ried on in the south. As sure, as you live these eight million negroes willone day burst loose. . It it is to be blood for blood, then woe to you in the black belt. You southerners with your re bellious pride still left you lynch the poor negro for the very crime that your fathers committed on their slaves. There is one voice that will speak if all others are silent. (Applause.) When the time comes we will do more than speak. God will judge you youwhited sepulehers who strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. I have been told that I have lost friends at the south. I never had any. They were never worthy of my friendship. They were neither Christians nor good citizens. I hear the march of eight million Ethio pian, ana it will he an awful day when the burst loose in the black belt. My wife says that 1 had better take the flowers out of the greenhouse and maybe that will relieve me. I see that the first rose of summer has come fo'rth jn .,n its crimson bc.y. A pair of tinv snarrows are drinking at the foun tain in the front yard. They are yellow ana black, akin to the canaries. mockingbird is singing in a neighbor' garden. Our flock of pigeons is sailing around in graceful curves. The pea cock j8 strutting and spreading his magnificent tail and is happy in his vanity. The dog lies lazily on the blue grasS and everything is happy that God has made except some miserable people who are never happy unless they ttre abusing something or finding fault .;,!, flieir neighbors. What a slack troueh the south is to that class un V .. . - . i north. They can differ with each omer in politics and the tariff and re ligion and the Philippine war, but wnCn they get tired of quarrelling they sav. "Well. now. let's hold un awhile anu abuse those nigger killers down south." That's a harmonizer. An other preacher, Dr. Gunsaulus, deliv- crv( tie oration at Galena in honor of General Grant's birthday and made appear that Grant was the author and finisher ot emancipation and negro suffrage and it would be scarilege to nermit the ballot to be taken awavfrom country! What an idiot 1 Everybody who reads his history knows that Grant was a slave owner and lived off the hire of his negroes up to the very day 0f their freedom and he uniformly declared he was not lighting for the negro, but for the union. Let the rev erend gentleman read in Appleton's "Cyclopedia of American Biography where General Grant's old father wrote to him at St. Louis in May, I860,, that lf ue couldcnt live off the hire of his negroes he had better move to Galena ana work in the tanyard.. But I will take a brief rest again in the warden. for my wje 8aya the potato bugs have conie and I had "better get ready to poison them. She says they are almost as pestiferous as yankee preachers and are much nearer to us. My garden is a ciav subsoil and bakes very quickly after a rftn. and it keens me movinir q0ite lively to.prevent a crust that will not let the little plants come un. It has always been a mystery to me how a little tender plant can upheave a clod that will weigh half a pound Jjut about those preachers who are so distressed about the negro. I wish to remark that the same paper that gave Dr. Gunsaulus's sentiments about the negro had in the next column in upon Mr. McMillan and his wife, shoot ing him and subjecting her to an out- rago worse than death and' lelt them both for dead. I hope the posse has got the negroes and lynched them by this time. Do you reckon I would have refused to help lynch the brutes if I had been there and if that Chicago preacher had been there and refused a helping hand I would have said "Now, boys, let's hang him up by the legs to give rum time to repent the cowardly dog' who would not avenge a woman's honor," That's my faith and part of my religion, and I've been on that line ever since these outrages begun. 1 re joice over every lynching of a brute and our woods are full of good citizens of the same mind. Governor Candler may purge his own record about lynch ing and denounce that Philadelphia editor who lied on him, but I am not governor -and am not a target to be shot at and I am free to say that a man who would wait for the slow, un certain process of the law and the courts to avenge our wives and daughters is no man at all and has my scorn and contempt. I think I had better read a psalm or go out and plant some more beans, for my wife says she wants i succession of crops of all these legum inous vegetables. I think that is what she called them. It is that same puritanical set of preachers who brought on the war, and we thought' the next generation would have more sense and let us alone since slavery was abolished, but like fathers like sons and they are yet miserable as long as Mordecai is sitting at thegate Some of our writers and orators declare that peace and brotherly love now pre vails, but it is like the game of "three card monte," now you see it and now you don't see it. Henry Grady made a great speech in Boston and fairly captured his audience, but in less than two weeks the Boston preachers were belittling his effort and howling at the south for its bad faith to the fifteenth amendment. The race problem is still their capital stock and it has spread from New England to Chicago and the great west. The G. A. R's. have ap pointed a committee to write up a his tory of the civil war, and the next thing will be to force it into the public schools. The G. A. Ii's. are a power in the land and their creed is to draw more pensions and bigger ones, but I can't understand how they can look a confederate soldier in the face " and boast of anything. If it took four of us to whip one of them I'd never brag about it nor ask for a pension, and if it was given me I would conscientiously iKur it back in the jug. When God created Adam He planted' a garden for him and put him in it to keep it and dress it and that was innocent and manly, and so I will go out and dig some and turn the hydrant loose, for it is awful dry. Wrish I could turn it loose on those preachers, Since Bish op Candler exclaimed in big headlines,' "Oh, for one more breath of Puritan ism! I ve been perusing history. Of course he dident mean those Puritans who came to New . England and went to importing negroes and robbing the Indians and bu rning witch". Mr. Stedman and Miss Hutchinson have eleven volumes of Ameiicn literature and the second is devoted to those horrible witchcraft times when Increase Mather and Cotton Mather and Samuel oewau ana other saints had helpless women arrested -and tried and hung for witchcraft. The whole procedure is in this volume and it makes the heart sick to read how the ioor creatures begged for their lives and in their last moments on the gallows denied their guilt. How as many as eight were hung at one time and many more at various times and how old Judge Scwall afterwards repented and the twelve jurymen repented and published their repentance and asked God to forgive their great sin, etc. One woman, Mary Watkins, who was a hired servant, a white woman, was tried, but the evi dence was not quite sufficient to con vict, and so they did not hang her, but sent her off to Virginia to be sold as a slave. . This is only a little scrap of New England history, and if any of their descendants is ashamed of it they have never said so to me. Those northern brethren are awful slow on apologies. But I must go and' stick the sweet peas and hurry up the llowers for the June wedding. Our neighbor's pretty daughter is to be married and they arc singing to me ''Bring flowers, bring flowers, for the bride to wear, They are born to blush In her shining hair." Bill Ahp. Turned Illut k, Then Died. Naslivlilo, Ua.i Special. EmmettEveret, the young white man mentioned a few days ago in The Con stitution as gradually turning black, died at his home in this county. He was about twenty-one years of age and had been undergoing a change of color for about three and a half years. He was a comely, blue-eyed, fair-haired boy, when suddenly the metamorphosis began to take place. His skin first assumed a yellowish hue, then grew darker until his death, at which time he was a deep bronze color. One phy sician has advanced tiie ingenious theory that the change of color was caused by the inhalation of the fumes of wood alcohol and its consequent action upon the. kidneys. This jKisition is supported by the fact that he was for some time engaged in its manufacture. His death is said to have been caused by tlR same agency that brought alxnit the change of color. This phenome non will no doubt jurnish food for much scientific reflection and specula tion. The strangest phase of the case is that his general health did not seem to be affected up to a month before his death. Mrs. Hetty Green was in Boston the other day, and when invited to attend a theatre declined, saying that, though he is the richest woman on this coun try, she "hadn t any clothes good enough." PINEVILLE STORIES. "A Night In a Graveyard." , By Major Joseph Jones. . About two years ago the people of Pineville were almost alarmed out of their senses by a ghost, what made its ap pearance every night in the graveyard The niggers seed it first, and they told sich. terrible tales about it that the wim men and children was afaid to go bed in the dark for a month, and you couldn't git a nigger to go a hundred yards from the house after dark not for all Georgy. It made a monstrous talk for more'n ten miles round the settle ment, and everybody was anxious find out whose ghost it was and what wanted. Old Mr. Walker, what had been cheated out of all his property by the lawyers, hadn t been dead a great, while and as he was a monstrous curious old chap anyhow the general opinion was that the old man had come back for something. Sammy Stonestrcet seed the ghost and Bob Moreland seed it, and old Miss Curloo seed it, when she was comin to town to see her daughter Nancy, th night she had her baby, and they all gave the same account the niggers did about its being dressed in white, and talkin to itself, and cryin and walki about among the toombstoncs. Bob Moreland said he heard it sneeze two or three times, jest as natural as any hu man, and cry ever so pitiful. A good many of the boys sed they was gwine too watch for it some night and speak to it; but somehow their hearts always failed 'em about dark and nobody didn't go. One day Bill Wilson come to town and was about half corned down to Mr Harleys's store, when the boys got to bantenn him about the ghost. "Ding d if I don t see who it is," se Bill; "I ain't afraid of no ghost tha ever walked on the face of theyearth.' W ith that some of em olfered to bet him five dollars that he dassent go in ide the graveyard after dark. i i tit . 1 uoner ses inn, "jest piank up yer money. But 1 m to go jest as 1 ve a mind to?" "Yes," ses the boys. , , k 11 .,1 1 -r ivna snoot uie ghost it l see it?" ses he. "To be shore." "And I'm to have a bottle of Jimmaky, to keep me company ?" "Yes," ses all of 'em. "Nuf sed," ses Bill. "Put up 0l( the stakes in Mr. Harley's hands. The money was staked and the busi ness all fixed in no time. "Now," ses Bill, "giv me a pair of pistols and let me load em good myself, and I'll show you whether I'm afraid of ghosts." Captain Skinner's big brass hors pistols was sent for, and Bill loaded one of em up to the muzzle, and after get- tin a bottle of licker in his pocket, and takin two or three more good stout horns to raise his courage, he waited till it was dark. Everybody in town was wide awake to see how the thing would turn out, and some of the wim min was monstrous consarned for Bill, for fear he'd git carried off by the ghost shore enough. Just about dark Bill sot out for the grave yard, with a whole heap of - fel lers, who went to see him to the gate, so he couldn t give em no dodge. "Look out now, Bill; you know ghosts is monstrous dangerous things to fool with. Keep your eyes skinned, Bill, or you're a goner," sed the boys as they was leavin him at the gate "Never you mind," ses Bill. "But remember, I'm to shoot, and ' "To be shore," ses all of 'em. Bill marched into the middle of the graveyard, brave as a lyon, singing "Shiny night as loud as loud he could but monstrous out of tune and tuck a seat on one of the grave stones. The graveyard in Pineville stands on the side of a hill about half a mile from town. The fence is a monstrous high post and rail fence, whar ther is a pine thicket of about a acre, in which ther aint no graves. The night was pretty dark, and Bill thought it was monstrous cold, so lie kept takin drinks every now and then to keep himself warm, and singin all the songs and salm tunes he know'd to keep awake. Sometimes he thought he heard something down in the bushes, and then his hair would sort o' crawl up, and he would hold his breath and grab hold of his pistol, what he held cocked in his lap, ready to shoot. But it was so dark that he could see nothin ten steps off. Two or three times he felt like backing out and goin home; but he know'd that wouldn't never do; so he'd take another drink and strike up an other tune. Bimeby he got so sleepy that he muldn't tell whether he was singin "Up in a balloon boys," or "I'm bound for the promised land"; and bimeby he only sung a word here and thar, without bcin very pertickler what song it belonged to. He was so bominable sleepy and corned together, that he couldn't keep awake, and in spite of his fears, he be gun to nod a little. Jest then something sneezed. "Ugh!" ses Bill; "what's that?" But he soon come to the conclusion that he must been sneezin in his sleet); and after seein that his pistol was safe and takin another drink, he was soon in the land of Nod agin. lK)ut this time old Mr. Jenkins s gang of goats come out of the thicket, whar they had got through the gap in the graveyard fence, and with old white Bellshazer in the the lead, come smel lin about whar Bill was watchin for the ghost. Old Bellshazer is a monstrous big goat, and one of the oudaciousest old cusses to butt in all Georgy, and the old rascal, seein Bill settin thar all alone by himself, he goes up and smells at him. Bill nodded to him in his sleep. The goat stepped back step or two and Bill nodded agin. The old feller tuck it for a banter shore enough, and comin forward and risin up on his hind legs a little, he tuck deliberate aim, and sprang! he tuck Bill right between the eyes knockin him and his horse-pistol off at the same time. Liang l goes the pistol, roann out on the still night air, like a young five pounder, so every body in the tow heard it, and the next minit you m'ough heard Bill hollerin "Murder! murder!' for more'n a mile. Lhe whole town was roused in no time, and everybody that could go was out to the graveyard as quick as they could git thar. Thar was Bill Wilson layin sprawled out on the ground, with his nose knocked as flat as a pancake, and both eyes bunged up so he could t tell day light from dark. The goat was skecred as bad as Bill was at the pistol, and was gone before he fairly touched the ground. Bob Moreland and Tom Stallins, who had gone out to skeer Bill, havin tuck care to change the pistol what he loaded for one that had no bullets in it, got thar jest in time to see his encounter with old Bellshazer. They was the first ones to git to him, but it was so dark and they was rapped up in white sheets so Bill did know em. The more they talked to him and shuck him, the louder he hollered, till they'thought he would go into a tit. After a while he kiinl o' come to his senses. bomelKidy struck a light, and Bill seed whar he was. He swore he was wide awake all the time and that when the ghost come up to him he tuck a fair crack at it, when all of sudden a clap of thunder and lightnin knocked him clean out of his senses. Bob Moreland tried to explain to him how it was. But it was all no use. He swore the ghost was six foot high, and that he smelled the brimstone and seed the hghtnin lust as plain' as he ever seed lightnin in his life. The next day Bill claimed the stakes, and everybody said he ought to have the money, which was give up to him. But you may depend Bill Wilson wouldn't have sich another ghost-fight, not for all the money in Georgy. Lhe fence was mended whar it was broke in the thicket, and ther has never been any more ghosts seed in that graveyard ever sense. The New JaektKoiivllIe. Baltimore Sun. In spite of the appalling disaster at Jacksonville the people of that city dis play a bravo spirit and are hopefully looking to the future. American grit and determination were never more ad mirably illustrated than in the two Southern cities Galveston and Jackson ville. A day or two after the storm which swept over their city the people of Galveston announced their inten tion to rebtiild. Jacksonville has been almost wiped out by lire, yet the citi zens of the Florida metropolis are al ready planning the new city which is to rise from the ashes of the old. This is the cheery note which the Jackson ville Times-Union of Monday sounds "This morning the new Jacksonville is born. w iuany nearts are heavy and some mourn a deeper loss that that which conies from the de struction of property, but the weak- hearted are not to be found among us, and it would seem also that weariness s unknown. To work with high spirits and willing hands. The new Jacksonville is born this morning and we who write ana we who reaa stand about to assistat the christening." This is the spirit which dares all things and overcomes all obstacles. A community animated by such a spirit does not waste time in mourning over disaster, but sets sturdily to work to re-J air its losses. Lhis is evidently what acksonville intends to do. No doubt the new city to be built on the site of the old will be in every way worthy of such a community. Probably the ooden structures will be replaced with brick buildings, and if this be the les son Jacksonville learns from the disas ter it will be fireproof in the future. 'ossibly the conflagration will result in etter water facilities in the future, in a modern drainage system indeed, in such an equipment in all respects as Mjcomes a twentieth century citv. icksonville has the best wishes of the meriean eople, who admire the pluck ind energy of its citizens. Good luck to the "new Jacksonville. Jurors Knsase In a Fight. While trying to come to a conclusion as to the guilt or innocence of Henry Warrenal, on trial for causing a distur bance on an electric car, aiuryatMun- Ind., last week, came to blows and the locked iurv room had to be broken jen before the free-for-all fight which aged furiously inside could 1 stopped. KIIOM POOR RICHARD'S AL MANAC. Benjamin Franklin, Never spare the parson's wine nor the baker's pudding. Visits should be short, like a winter's day. Lest you're too troublesome, hasten away. A house without a woman and fire light is like a body without soul or spirit. 'Kings and bears often worry their keepers. Light purse, heavy heart. He's a fool that makes his doctor his heir, Ne'er take a wife till thou hast a house (and a fire) te put her in. He's gone, and forgot nothing but to say farewell to his creditors. Love well, whip well. Great tal leers, little doers. , A rich rogue is like a fat hog, who never does good till as dead as a log. The favor of the great is no inheri timce. Fools make feasts, and wise men eat them. - Beware of the young doctor and the old barber. - He has chang'd his one-ey'd horse for a blind one. The poor have little, beggars none; the rich too much, enough,, not one. Eat to live, and not live to eat. After thee days men grow weary' of a winch, a guest, and weather rainy. Lhe lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals. ' The proof of woman, gold: the proof of man, a woman. After feasts made, the maker scratch es his head. Many estates are spent in the get ting. Since women for tea forsook spin ning and knitting. He that heth down with dogs shall rise up with fleas. . A fat kitchen, a lean will. '' Distrust and caution are the pardhts of security. Tongue double bring trouble. Take counsel in wine, but resolve afterwards in water. He that drinks fast pays slow. . Great famine when wolves eat wolves. A good wife lbst is God.s gift lost. 1 A taught horse, and a woman to teach, and teachers practicing what they preach. He is ill clothed that is bare of virtue. M-en and melons are hard to know. He's the best physician that knows the worthlessness of the most medi cines. ' Beware of meat twice boil'd, and" an old foe reconcil'd. A fine genius in his own country is like gold in the mine. There is no little enemy. The heart of the fool is in his mouth. but the mouth of the wise man is in his heart. ' The old man has given all to his son. O fool ! to undress thyself before thou art going to bed. " ' . Cheese and salt meat should be spar ingly eat. Doors and walls are fools paper. Anoint a villain and he'll stab you: stab him, and he'll anoint jrou. Keep your mouth wet, feet dry. He has lost his boots, but sav'd his spurs. W here bread is wanting, all's to be sold. There is neither honor nor gain got in dealing with a villain. Snowy winter, a plentiful harvest. Nothing more like a fool than a drunken man. He that lives carnally won't live enternally. Innocence is its own defense.' Never mind it, she'll be sober afore the holidays. A to School Children. The following portion of the new State health law will be of interest to parents and teachers. The school committee of public schools, superintendents of graded schools and the principals of private schools shall not allow any pupil to ttend the school under their control while1 any member of the household to which the pupil belongs is sick of either smallpox, diphtheria, measles, scarlet fever, typhus fever or cholera or dur- ng a period of two weeks after the death, recovery or removal of such sick person, and any pupil coming from such house-hold shall be required to present to the teacher of the school the pupil desires fo attend a certificate from the attending physician, city health oilicer or county superintendent f health of the facts necessary to enti tle him ' to admission in accordance ith the above regulations, A wilful failure on the part of any school com mittee to perform the duty required in this section shall be deemed a misde meanor, and upon conviction shall sub- ect each and every member of the same to a fine not less than $25: Provided that the instructions in accordance with the provisions of this section given to the teachers of the schools within twenty four hours after the reception of each iind every notice shall be deemed per formance of duty on the part of the school committee.
