Several came up to where I was standing and •aid to me privately that they had four of the crowd in jail aad if they were toned out they would disperse end go home. I then naked the mob if these men were turned ont would they promise to disperse. Many voices replied that they would. I replied then, “Torn them loose," and I advised that these men be discharged. I had no authority to discharge them. They were discharged by order of some one who bad authority. I could only advise, and did ad vise this course, sod I do not re gret it. At that time everybody in the crowd, as it appeared to me, seemed to think that this was the wise thing to do un der the circumstances. I know several officers of the law did advise this course. Some one in authority frsve the order for their discharge, and it was done. When Hall came ont he said he wished to speak. I told the sheriff not to let him speak. The sheriff told him not to speak. But he, with great profanity, ex claimed that they were all a set of Cowards, He then came np to the solicitor, claimed to know him, offered to shake his hand, saW that he had seven little children, and that he waa going home. The crowd still remaned, and I reminded them of their promise. The men In the Pan ama hat, undoubtedly the leader of the mob, then said: ''Let’s all go home and come back to-mor row at 10 o’clock."

It seems that some of the good people of Gestoaie bad gotten the impression that the Poor C’s Company of this city was planning to take in that town at this time, by extending an elec tric . line to Gastonia aad per haps also building a local sys tem. Mr. E. D. Letts was ap proached by a News reporter this morning and asked about the matter. He declared that it was all new to hint and that the Four C's had not had a wan on the grounds as reported.

Grosseteste upon some of the wells which are situated in the Canton of Geneva, it appears that the wells have the remark able property of drawing in air at certain times-and of Mowing out air at other periods.

When the weBs blow put air it is a awe sign that rain is to follow, and whan air is drawn la it is a sure inilentice of fine weather.
