On Friday of 1 last week Mr. Ttatliffemet a dog in path near his house, and as he stooped down to pick up a rock, the dog jumped at him and bit him on the chin. .The nog passed on and created quite aa ex citement In the neighborhood by rush ing through houses and biting at every body and everything. Mr. Gatliffe feels sure that the animal Is rabid and has-1 tened to Charlotte. Dr. Brevard treated bim as best he could, and Ur. Tttiiffe felt quite relieved. Jna Butler's mad- stone was : procured and tested ;for a ! couple of hours, but did not adhere to the wound. Mr. Batliffe was resting easy in his room at the Charlotte Hotel during the afternoon. He Is drinking heavily as a precautionary measure. He left last night for his home much re lieved. . , , .

There are fifteen spings, all within a space' of , twenty feet sq uare, and from each one wells op water' of a separate and distinct mine ral character.

A party of hands were engaged In blasting rock for the Air Line road bed ballast, when Dick Mason threw a couple pt rocks at George Andrews, who Is fireman on the gravel train. George let it pass by for A few days, but on Saturdsy be had his revenge. .The negroes blsst on the side of the mountain at a point where it Is perpendicular, and have to be lowered down the side by ropes. Mason was at work drilling a hole, when Andrews, seeing his opportunity, climbed to , a point above and i rolled a stone weigh ing seventy-five pounds ' to a point just over where Masmf was working and let It tumble. ? The rock knocked Mason's hat off And went -crashing down the mountain. Mason bad no way to escape save by the ropej and 'Andrews above prevented him from doing this." An drews threw a lot of rocks at the help less negro below, and finally pulled out his pistol and began shooting at him. At the fifth shot Mason -looked up just in Ume to catch the bullet between the eyes. Mason - dropped, and Andrews, thinking that he had killed him,' fled over tha mountains. . Tbeother bands,' I who witnessed the 'whole affair, chased the fleeing negro.: but he: eluded them. Dr. Dickson, of King's Monntain,' took tho bullet oat of Mason's head, and the darkey is getting well.
