A Daring; Exploit of Highwaymen Farrow Btatea and Robbed. Mr. F. L. Harkey, a farmer of Long Creek township, was waylaid in a public road near Charlotte, at 7 o'clock last evening, by a negro and white man, and was beaten and robbed of sack of flour and $31 id cash. Mr. Harkey was in the city today, and told his experience to a News reporter. He left town with his wagon late in the afternoon for his home, after having made some pur chases, including a sack of flour. He had gone about five miles, and dusk was just approaching, when he was met in the road, near Dr. Jno. Erwin's house, by a negro and a white man. He could recognise the two men distinctly as they halted him. Before he could realize their object, the negro raised a stick and brought it down upon him with ter rific force, knocking him from his seat in the wagon. The blow was aimed at his head, but he threw up his left arm and partially warded off the force of the blow. As it was, his arm was paralysed, and he fell Helpless to the road. Ine negro shouldered the sack of flour and made off, while the white roan went through Mr. Harkey's pocket, ab stracting his purse, which contained $31. The rifled purse was found by the roadside this morning by Mr. J C Black. This is certainly one of the boldest outrages on record. Mr. Harkey is positive that he can iden tify the two men. He is suffering from the effects of his clubbing, and carries one of his arms in a sling. LOCAL RIPPLES. THE MARRIA.QB BELLS. THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Tbey -THE-r I - 4 w isonDrugCo.
