Mr. Harrison, with the consent of his attorney, E. F. Aydlett, gives out the following statement: That he is absolutely inno cent in regard to the charge against him of kidnapping the Beasley boy or having anything to do with it; that foT three or four weeks or more before the boy was misted he bad been continuously at home; that the boy was missed on Monday; that he knew nothing of it until Tuesday at dinner, when Mrs. Julia Forbes spoke of it at the table; that he was at home all day Monday and Tuesday, but on Wednesday be went up to John Fisher's store about nine o’clock, and remained until about 11 o’clock, aud went from there to. Coinjock bridge, from there went to Vanatack’a, and from there home, reaching home about sunset. "I re mained at home then continu ously until Friday morning," be said, "at which time I took the boat to Elisabeth City.

I am a Republican and Mr. Beaaley a Democrat, bat oar relation* have been so pleasant I have voted for him each time he ran as a candidate to represent the county and whan be ran for tbe Senate. The report that Mr. Beaaley had laws passed against selling wine, which were hurtful and objec tionable to me is nntrue. If this had been so I would not have voted for him to go to tbe Senate in November before bis boy was lost la February following. There baa never been a moment since the boy waa missed that I would not hava made any sacrifice to help Had tbe boy and relieve his heart-broken parents. The family relations were the most cordial and had always bean. "I am 67 years of age aud I live six miles from where the boy waa attending school. Tbe report that my daughter, Mrs Gallop, went to New York on one or more trips regarding the Beasley boy is untrue. She did go to Newark, N. J., as I am Informed, to see Mise Hannah M.

Ray, of Ashe-1 ville, who daring the war be tween the States commanded the 60tb North Carolina infantry, has received a letter from John G. Lindsey, formerly of Ashe ville. and now of Chattanooga, in which Mr. Lindsey says that he recently went to the battle field of Cbickamauga and lo cated a spot and found a skillet that he had hid there more than 42 years ago. Mr. Lindsey was a member of company A. North Carolina reg iment. and was with his com pany during the battle of Mis sionary Ridge. On the evening before the Confederates evacua ted the battlefield—November 25,1863—Mr. Lindsey went with several members of his company and begged supplies from Gen. Bragg’s cook. They secured the supplies all right and then Mr. Lindsey prevailed upon the cook to lend him a skillet, prom ising to return the cooking uten sils on the following night. But the fortunes of war made im possible the keeping of that promise and the return of the skillet. The troops were with drawn that night and before tak ing up the march Mr. Lindsey hid the skillet in a rock cliff ocm uy. That waa nearly 42 years ago. Recently Mr. Lindsey visited tbc battlefield and remembering tbe incident of tbe skillet and tbe additional fact that his prom ise to return the skillet remained unfilled, be made search for cliff and skillet. With little diffi culty be found the spot and skillet as he had left it. Now, after a lapse of nearly half a cen tury, Mr. Lindsey would gladly keep his promise and return the utensil, but all the participants in the origins! transaction are dead and the old frying-pan will be sent to Gen. Ray, at Ashe ville, to be added to his immense collection of war relics, said to be the largest private one in the State. Twelve Mss the en the lende ler Snapping an Unleaded ©no. Ncwtta KalrrpfU*.

TO* SHALLOW FOI THE BIO CMIISEI. The "North Carolina" Co—) Crooo tbo Bar. Opwial M Xalriafc XaweOWw. Washington. D. C.. Sept. 10. —The armored cruiser "North Carolina” will be unable to visit the 8ute even after completion, that is, unless there is s consid erable deepening of the channel of the Cape Fear River, which is not an early probability. In 3airy at the Navy Department i(closes the fact that tbc big man-of-war, which is SOS feet la length and is to draw 27 fast of water, will be unable to cross the bar at Southport, much less make the trip up the Cape Fear to Wilmington. It wmi Governor Glenn’s earnest hope that the cruiser would at least find suffi cient depth of water at Wilming ton or Southport to permit of the presentation of the silver service, which it is proponed to give the "North Carolina" alter comple tion more than a year hence. The Hydrographic office et the Navy Department has made an iuveatigmlion of the poaaibility of the "North Carolina” making the tnp up the Cape Fear to Wilming ton. and while there ia sufficient depth in the harbor proper to accommodate a vessel of 27 feet draft, in some places, the chan nel is only 17 or 18 feet. The Southport harbor has a depth of 32 feet, bnt on the bar the depth is only 21 feet. These figures are at mean Inw mater •• the rise In tide is only about four feet, tbe situation ia not improv ed. In addition to tbe 27 feet of draft, three ' feet of water ia re quired for navigation. Tbe offi cials of tbe Navy Department would not permit the "North Carolina” to undertake to enter a channel of leas than thirty feet depth. Tbe City of Charleston, which is anxious to bava the presentation of a silver service to tbe Tar Heel ship take place there, has ample harbor accom modations, though tbe cruiser could not enter the channel save at high tide. Hiss Rebckkab Glenn, daugh ter of Governor Glenn, has been selected to christen the cruiser. St—aland Takas Ms—. Tangier, Morocco, Sept.
