Correspondence of the Visitor.
Lkkmvillb, June 4.
Some one has played a good on on
'Bug" Joues of this place, and the
story is so good that I must tell it,
even if it does "rile him."
It seems Bug" went to Raleigh the
other day and bought him a new hat.
Aa usual he met up with some of his
jolly friends. "Boys," he said, "I
ave just bought me a new hat. Let's
go into Smith's and take something
on the strength of it."
Of course they all went in. They
all took beer, and passed the hat
round so all could see it. One of the
men iu the crowd went to the barten
der and had a thin slice of limberg
lieese cut on', and while the party
were draining their glasses, the joker
lipped the cheese under the sweat
leather of the hat, and handed it back
to "Bug," who put it on. "Bug" is
of a nervous disposition and very
often imagines he is sick and thinks
some dreadful disease is going to take
him off. He excused himself and went
off to attend so some business. While
a grocery store on Wilmington
street he detected a smell of the
cheese, but thought it was the beer he
had been drinking.
'I smell something fearful around
here," remarked a bystander.
The clerk said it was evident that
somebody's feet needed washing.
'Bug" felt like he had fever and he
said he believe he'd go home.
He met a man on the sidewalk and
he remarked that "people must have
been using rough on rats around here."
"Bug" felt so bad he thought he'd
try a bowl of soup. He went into
Manda's restaurant and sat down at
the table. The man next to him got
up and left. Another asked him if
he worked at the phosphate mills.
Another wondered if small pox hadn't
broken out in Raleigh. The cold per
spiration stood out on "Bugs" fore
head, and as he reached and took his
handkerchief from his hat the piece
of cheese seemed to breathe. He got
the full benefit of it and came near
fainting away.
He drove home as fast as he could
go. Alter puting up his horse he
started in the house and met the cook
at the door.
"Oh, Mr. 'Bug,' what is the matter
with you? You look so pale" and. she
reached up and took his hat off his
head. And she got a whiff of the
cheese.
"Where in the world did you get
into it," she asked.
"Get into what? I have not got
into anything, but some deadly dis
ease has got into me, and I am a sick
man; 1 shall not live long."
She told him a disease that smelt
like that was terrible, and he certain
ly could not live.
She got his clothes off, soaked his
feet in mustard water and put him to
bed. He slept. .
The hat was lying on a table and
some of the neighbor's children went
in and saw it. They got a scent of
the cheese. Then they looked at each
other and then at "Bug" and silently
stole out to play.
"Bug" slept and dreamed that the
small pox had broken ont at his house
and that a nag was up.
The cook sent for a doctor. She
told how "Bug" looked when he came
home. The doctor looked grave as
"Bug" was breathing very hard. He
said he would call in another physi
cian as he was not equal to the emer
gency. He too had smell ed the cheese.
After an examination had been made
one of the doctors picked np the hat
and found the cheese.
They woke "Bug," and to carry out
the joke, asked him if his worldly af
fairs were all right. He said they
were; that he had. always tried to
live an upright life, and tried to treat
everybody right; that he had no iil
will against any one,' and was ready
to die, but if he could live he would
try to find some woman and make her
his wife and in futnre live different
Then the doctor showed him the hat
and cheese. "Bug" pinched himself
to see if he was alive and jumped ont
of bedanacallea forms revolver; said
he was going to Raleigh and find out
who pat that cheese in his hat if it
took all the. summer. ' .
If Sam Smith's - bartender tells on
the Joker there will be trouble in the
land. , . . ZacK Adams.

Knights.
Washington, June 4. The biennial
convention of the Supreme Lodge, and
the biennial eacampment of the fili

The popular features of the event will
be the sessions of the Supreme Lodge,
the street parade and review by Presi

between about forty-five infantry and
calvary divisions, and a ball and re

about the city have also been arranged.
The executive committee has an
nounced that the encampment fund !
must be $50,000. and a large percent
age of this sum has been subscribed.
it is estimated that 18.000 uniformed
knights will visit Washington, and
that, the number of other visitors will
be between 150,000 and 2(X).000. It
is understood that the railroads will
reduce their fare one-half. The Wash
ington members of the order are en
thusiastic Over the prospects, and the
citizens feel a lively interest in the
affair.
The camp will occupy thirty acres,
and will form a square around the
Washington monument. Tents will
be provided for 18,000 men. The
camp streets will be named after the
states, and military rules of camp
life will prevail. Col. John M. Wil
son, commissioner of public buildings
and grounds, has ordered that signs
and insignia of the order be wrought
in flowers and plants in the parks of
the city.
Hundreds of letters are being re
ceived daily from branches of the

ing been organized here in February,

Pythias in the District of Columbia is
1,400, and in the United States over
500,000. The Uniform Rank has an
enrollment of over 40,000.
HAD TO LEAVE
A Despicable Chaaacter at Lau-
rinburg Ordered to Leave.
A special to the Charlotte Observer
from Laurinburg says:
At last December term of Richmond
county superior court Joe Jordan was
sentenced to 20 years in the peniten
tiary for incendiarism in this town.
His testimony and confession implica
ted as co-principal James H. Barefoot,
but at the final pinch he broke down
under Barefaot's influence, which was
remarkable. The poor boy seemed to
be thoroughly controlled by Barefoot.
Recently Jordan was returned to Ral
eigh from the penitentiary farms, and
on his bed of sickness has related
many things, all proved heretofore to
the satisfaction of the people, but not
legally proved, and for which reasons
Barefoot was released. Since Bare
foot's release he has lurked about
town, becoming by degrees bolder and
bolder in making his rounds on the
streets.
Saturday afternoon 40 of the most
conservative citizens of Laurinburtr,
representing every avocation except
the ministry, met and proceeded to
where Barefoot was at work and
through their spokesman, said to him
that for reasons well known to him
self, his presence was a menace to the
interests of their town and a source of
terror to some of the citizens, so much
so that they had come in a quiet and
orderly manner to advise him that
they did not think it safe for him to
remain but that it would be well for
him to take leave and carry his fam
ily with him, for if he be found at the
going down of the sun on the third
day thereafter they feared there
wonld be imminent peril for him; cer
tainly they would not hold themselves
responsible for his safety, which is be
coming more imperilled each day.
By an agreement of counsel, Patrick
Eugene Prendergast, the slayer of
Mayor Carter Harrison, of Chicago,
will n k. tlMat ..til .VA tav.Aml.A
tom of eonrt. when his sanity or in
