Atkins, of Fodder, reports the best crop of Irish po tato tops he has ever seen, but says there are no potatoes. He does not know ho '^'to account for such a developiUi.pt. The growing cottfu crop is farther advanced than has been the case for several yean at this season. Squares are beginning to make their appearance, and if favorable conditions continue, by the 15th of June blooms will be quite plentiful. Miss Carrie Beard it now her father's principal assistant in the telegraph and express office. She understands telegraphy remark ably well for a young lady of her agf, and handles even difficult press dispathes, both going and coming, with entire satisfaction. The express business, which of course, is much easier, gives her no trouble in any of its details. The board of trustees of the YorkviHe Graded School are making arrangements looking to the sale of the bonds recently authorized by theaualified voters of the school district, and every effort is being put forth to hasten work on the proposed new school building. There is much re sponsibility and much hard work ahead of the board in the trans actions. Special agent Howard of the rural free delivery service, has been in western York during the past week surveying routes from Sharon, Hickory Grove. 8myrna and Grover. The Grover route runs down into York county, bat Mr. Howard was unable to recite from memory its general direc tion and the points teached Mr, Howard has been in YorkviHe since Thursday preparing dia grams of the routes }uat surveyed and doing other work necessary for the completion of his won to the department. He has not yet found time to return to Beth el township, bat will complete his work in that section as soon as he gets the opportunity. At the Boston Home for Aged Colored Women, where she died Friday afternoon, they think Nancy Washington waa in is£?JT and negro mother, and had had six husbands saccea -«-•- - •* r€iy • Lineal* Local*. UicobikuMl. The little town of Alexia is quite confident that they will have a depot in a short time. This will t>e a great help to the people and will make an impor tant shipping point. Work has commenced on the cut to be made where the Mar row Caufpy passes Main street. When finished the cat will be 18 feet deep and will be covered with on overhead bridge. Paine Simpson, alias Paine Gladen, a negro who worked on the Narrow Gauge force near town, stole $13 Friday night from John Wilkes, another negro. Before being caught up with he had purchased a nat and a rail road ticket to Charlotte. Triangle correspondence: Mr. Miles Howard of Gastonia, was visiting relatives here last week. Howard is a freak. You can hind him hand and foot and he' can release himself. ‘ He can throw his voice and make one thjnk it is somebody else. He is a hypnotist also. The 8. A. L. and C. & N.-W. Railroad injunction case came up before Judge Starbuck at Winstoa Saturday. The attor neys for the S. A. L. asked that a permanent injunction be grant ed forbidding the C. & N.-W. from doing further work on the cut under the 8. A. L. track near Daniel Manufacturing Com pany and on the railroad near the Academy. The injunction was refused but the C. & N.-W. were required to give a $5,000 bond till the case could come up for trial.__ A Froah *1 (ha Saa. misak*«h Cftr Tar Baal Cart. Tom .Guard, of this city, has ©no of the strangest breaks that the North Carolina Sound* over placed in the hand* of man. , I* I* * l«»e ocean crab upon the back of which an oyster has made its home. The shell of the oyster is irmly rooted to the bock of the helpless crustacean. Just how long the oyster has occupied his present position is not known but as the oyster is of a creditable site aad and also alive a»d| well, it is presumed that it has been there tor sometime. Captain Guard will present this atnagt freak to the State Museum. SPANKED THE WHOM MY. Thought ho Vu Punishing Sou hr Putting HU Hoad Out ul Window. A Detroit miu was travelling with his son and wishing to trans act some business with the con ductor. he Mid: “Now, Willie. I'm going to be away jant a few minutes. Yon sit right here and don’t move a bit. It you do, I'll spank you good and hard. So don’t stick your head out of the window. You might have it taken off if you do; then you wouldn’t have any head and you'd get a spanking besides." The father went away to find the conductor. After o few minutes he came bock. There was little Willie, jnst his feet and the seat of his trousers sticking in through the window. He appeared to be more outside than inside, and whenever a telegraph pole whizzed by and looked especially close lie would moke a lunge for it, as if trying to catch it. The father did not hesitate. He made a grab for the boy jnst as the latter made a lunge for a pole. He pulled him in by the heels laid him over his knees and began to fulfill his promise. The little fellow yelled and yelled until he almost drowned out the noise of the train, but during a lull in the uproar the father heard a snicker behind him. He laid the boy down and turned to sec what it meant. There, two scats behind and across the aisle, aaya the Gal veston News, was his son, with two fingers stuffed in his mouth to keep his merriment in. The man rubbed his eyes and looked again, bat there was no mistake. He looke 1 at the boy in his lsp. Behind the tears was a face he had never seen before. He had spanked some other man's son. Om. W. P. Mirti u4 kb Platform. SiitmllW landmrlt. A newspaper correspondent sa Roberts, announcing his can tor the Democratic con* >nal nomination from the istrict, is unique in one respect—he makes one of the "planks" in his "platform” opposition to negro education. While some have opposed this in private conversation, occa sionally in a newspaper, and sometimes in legislstive debates, it is said this is the first time opposition has taken the shape given It by Gen. Roberts. We have read Gen. Roberts’ card and opposition to negro education is the main plank in his platform; in fact he says little about anything else. Without going into any dis cussion of whether he is right or wrong on this matter, one wonders why Gen. Roberts is running for Congress on such a platform. If he is elected he con do nothing in Congress to stop the negroes from being educated. The Legislature is the place for liim. He might do something there to stop negro education in North Caro lina. Gen. Roberts is doubtless aware of this and one is forced to the conclusion that, gallant gentleman as he is, he is trying to win a neat in Congress by simply playing on the prejudices of tne white people of the first district. If this is true, and It fo apparent that it is, Gen. Roberts deserves to be defeated. Senator Clark’s Wealth. - New York Ymo. When the list of the very wealthy men of the world is published, the name of "Billy” Cleric will not be at the bottom. A conservative Montanan who knows him well says that $125, 000,000 will not top his pile. Senator Clark looks like a mnsty document, deckle-edged. Twelve years ago the stock of the United Verde copper mine was selling at seventy-five cents a share. 1 doubt if you could buy it to-day at $(00. The property Is worth $100,000,000. Re sponsible parties offered $00, 000,000, and were laughed at. It is capable of earning $**,000,000 n year in dividend*. Senator Clark has a pocketful of similar wealth producer*. He seems to succeed in whatever he engages. Hit great ability is called "luck.”_ The Supreme Court baa de cided the interesting case of Simms against the sheriff of Person and the Southern Rail way, involving the right of the State to levy upon sewing ma chines for the privilege tax when the machines are shipped into the 8tate c. o. d. The court sustains the sberifl and says he had a right to levy. THE YOUHOEIT STY. A To-Tmt^M CwMmiIi Yarn Days m Tsa .1 Fnci Pnl LomitvIlU Coorltr -Journal. Henry S. Garr, now a deputy at the couoty jail, was one ol the youngest spies in the ser vice of either side in the wax between the North and the South. At the age of JO, Mr. Garr received bis first instruc tion. It was the year that die Louis ville forts were built. The order for all able-bodied men of certain ages to assist in the con struction of the forts had been issued, and many southern sympathizers were looking about for some way to evade the edict. Judge 5. A. Garr, father of the deputy jailer, openly de clared that he would do no work for the soldiers from the North. He also declared that bis negroes should not help build the forts, and the officers in command of the Federal troops heard of it. A squad of soldiers was despatched at double qoick rime to the Garr homestead, which was within a hundred yards of Western Park. Wlien the soldiers arrived they found a barefoot boy sitting upon s fence post. He was swinging his legs and whistling as only some boys can. A lieutenant was in charge of the soldiers and he drew rein when he saw the boy. He inquired ter Judge Garr. The boy shook his head and answered that he did not know him. The soldiers passed. An hour later they returned and the boy was still upon the gate-post. All day the soldiers searched in the woods and all day the boy sat upon the pate poet. The following morning the soldiers returned and again the boy was ”1 sat there for four day*," said Mr. Garr. " My father and several neighbors and all of their negroes were hid in the woods, and by means of a signal code we were able to com municate with one another. "Two or three men were stationed in the tree tops. We all bad white handkerchiefs. I watched the soldiers. One wave meant that they were in the neighborhood, two meant that they were leaving, aud three meant that they were not in sight and that all was well." A Train's Kacs With a Cydaa*. Wichita. In . Uiwatefc. Mar 29th. With passengers locked in the cars to1 keep them from leaping to death, with the engineer driving his engine at a speed of 60 miles an boar, with the fire man feeding coal until he fell from sheer exhaustion, north bound passenger train No. 466 ran a wild race with a cyclone this morning and won by a bare fifty feet. A passenger train was just be ginning* run 12 miles from Ar kansas City to Winfield this morn ing when Conductor Strain, step ping out on the rear platform saw a whistling, funnel-lilce cloud sweeping along the track not half a mile behind. Inside the women and chil dren were frantic. The conduc tor locked the car doors and windows and signaled engineer to push his engine to thelimit. The big locomotive responded nobly, and a speed of a mile a minute was struck. Time and again it seemed the cyclone had conquered. Portions of the cloud hung over the train like a dark abroad, but the center of the whirling monster—the Mat of ita power—never reached the fly ing train. When the can reached Win field the cyclone had abandoned the chase, shot skyward and dissolved in the upper air. Crewde Out at Ceaefcts. UOtlcfc Tim**. A large squad of penitentiary convicts have been sent to the west and are working on the turnpike road from Wilkes to Ashe county. Convicts in tbeir stripes are a great novelty to the mountaineers and a man from Wilkes says that they ate excit ing mote interest than u circus. The camp is located at IClon dyke, and last Sunday over a thousand people went out to rase upon them. The convicts then gave a performance in singing, dancing and speech-making, and the collection taken brought in over six dollars. - - Mr. Dennis Simmons, of Wlllisraston, Martin comity, died s few days ago. He hegan life in poverty and accumulated an estate valued at $173,000. In his will he left **>,000 to the Baptist orphanage at Thomas villa and 115,000 to the Baptist Female University at.Raleigh left romiwE to a kokstek Nut oflia Bad fnH HIM aad _ jMiMtk Legacy. London, May 23.—A wealthy woman named Silva recently died at Lisbon and left her entire property toarooster. She was a fervid spiritualist, a believer in the transmigration of souls, and imagined that the son! of her dead husband had entered the rooster, She caused a special fond house to be httilt and ordered her servants to pay extra attention tc their "master's" wonts. The disgust of her relatives over the will caused the story to become public, and a lawsuit might have followed had not one of the heirs adopted the simple expedient of having the wealthy rooster lulled, thns becoming himself the next of Ida. ____________ McKinley is PaUtfce. XlehMMd Kt»s. The Republicans are playing despicable and disreputable politics in dodging behind a dead man. They are developing a habit of bringing in the name of McKinley on all occasions to defend themselves wpunst attack and to justify their policies and methods. President McKinley wss a good man and beloved by everybody, and the people of the whole country united in sincere mourning for bis tragic death. Yet be had his faults his mistakes like other man. It is welt to serve notice that the Democrat* will not be re sponsible if they are compelled to speak plainly of these faults and mistake*. The zespocsi* bility for this deplorable dis cuAsiou wiu ue on me Repub licans, who ue trying to use affection of the people for the dead President and the natural respect for his memory as cam paign weapons. They should act the example of reverence for death and regard for the dead President’s name by keeping him out of contemporary poli tics. Bringing him in as a shield and support is a miserable trick of which any party or man should be ashamed. Palled Wa t Cm. Yorkrill* Rnqiatwr. Wu Ting Pang, the Chinese minuter to the United States, delivered the commencement oration to the graduating class of the Georgia Military Academy at Milledpevillc, last Wednes day. After the oration the dis tinguished Chinaman was taken about the quaint old Georgia city to see the sights. Among the places visited was the state lunatic asylum, and while he was passing through this in stitution, one of the inmates, moved by an unexplainable spirit of mischief, seized hold of his long cue, wrenching it ] violently and holding on like grim death. Mr. Wu yelled with pain, while those who were with him struggled with the lunatic until tbeybrokehis hold. Then the minister ran with all his might to the carriage in which he had gone to the asylum and demanded to be driven away. It was with considerable difficulty that tbe committee was able to reassure him and calm his shattered nerves. lahMt ia a Mail Bax. OkhvOIi Reflector. While Mr. J. W. Potter, mail carrier of rural free delivery route i No. 1, was oa his route Saturday he found a rabbit in one of the mail boxes. He took the rabbit out of the box and found around its neck a string to which was a card addressed to a young lady in Greenville and a note request ing Mr. Porter to deliver it. He brought the rabbit with trim and delivered it promptly as directed. Yus, Yarn I Cm. CrwrriU* taStaUi. Peaches they tell us will be plentiful the coming season.
