In the death of Mr. John Chas.
McNeill last week, at his home in
Scotland County, N. C, the Char

est and ablest staff officers. His

was a distinct loss to the State and
Southern literature. His place
will be hard to till and the entire
South mourns his death.
Oppressing The Debtor.
Statesville I jandniark.
The following is from the North
Carolina Christian Advocate:
'From our exchanges we gather
that in some towns bad debt col
letting agencies have been estab
lished. Their business is to collect
old accounts and if debtors fail to
pay in a reasonable time they are
published much after the fashion
that tax collectors advertise de
linquents, with this difference,
however, that the tax gatherer'ad
vertises property for sale to realize
on the taxes due, whereas the col
lecting agency advertises the de
linquent in the newspapers and on
the bulletin I wards, not to sell his
property, for it is protected, if he
has any, by the homestead Isw,
butforthe purposeof exposing him,
it being the only penalty he can in
flict.
'This mode of procedure is
causing considerable commotion in
some quarters among the unfort
unate debtors. It is a novel plan,
and it is difficult to tell how far it
may reach. The man who never
intends to pay will not be helped
toward honesty by such a policy,
and is not greatly injured in pub
lie estimation when he is exposed.
"But there are many good peo
pie as honest as daylight who
are poor financiers and who get
behind and are forever unable to
catch up. They want to pay, but
seem doomed to permanent bank
ruptcy. If a merciless creditor
presses such a wellmeaning but un
fortunate man to the wall, and
publishes him as a fraud, he does
a helpless but honest man a great
injury.
"Some people the shabby gen
teel might, through pride rather
than honesty, pay to save re
putation, but the element that has
entirely lost selfrespect would be
more completely hardened by ex
posure. This Advocate is a stern
believer in debt paying. It is a
part of our religion. F'aul tells us
to 'owe no man anything, but to
love one another.' (Rom., i:i:S)
"We would not defend a debtor
who shunned the payment of a just
claim, but we should Ik- merciful
toward the uufortuuate who would
pay but can't, and nothing could
be more humiliating to an honest
man than to be published as a
fraud."
Do Travels 300 Miles.
Exchange.
Chicago, Oct. 19. Left in Col
umbus, O., more than 300 miles
away, on March 18, Trii Clark,
pet dog and companion of May
Clark, 16 years old, of 235 North
Clark street, turned op in Chicago
yesterday and discovered his mis
tress. lie had made one of the most re
markable journeys by an animal
on record, and acomplished the ad
ditional feat of singling out the
family with whom he formerly
lived from among more than 2,000,
000 persons.
How the dog found the residence
of his young mistress will always
remain a mystery. When Miss
Clark came out of a restaurant yes
terday he was sitting, wan and
gaunt, in-front of her lodgings.
At the sight of her he dashed
forward, and before she realized
what was happening he had both
paws around her neck. Miss Clark
and her mother have been living in
their present quarters only three
weeks.

them gathered quickly and storm
ed the house. Sergeant Cambions
was mortally wounded and Patrol
man Wenck and Corporal J. W.

A company of local milita which
happened to lie drilling in front of
police headquarters when the
fighting was reported volunteered
for service and were rushed to the
scene of the riot.
The riot ended after an hour and
a half siege of the house by the
police. The officers routed the ne
groes by burning them out. mor'

Will Have Sixteen Tunnels.
Industrial News.
Asheville, N. C, Oct. 19. The
South and Western, now being
built between Marion and the
Blue Ridge, is to have sixteen tun
nels, within a distance of leas than
twenty miles by rail. The railroad
construction engineers are now at
work on the huge 2,100-foot tun
nel, onefifth of a mile in length,
which is located on the main line
of the new road, hear Blue Ridge,
N. C. There is one section of the
road, which is twenty miles by
rail, but only four miles in a
straight line, or "as the crow flies."
This is perhaps the roughest part
of the road, just where the sur
veyors laid off the route as it em
erges from the Blue Ridge moun
tains. Nevertheless the road is
considered a piece of strikingly
bold and excellent engineering
skill, and its completion from Mar
ion to Blue Ridge, which is a mat
ter of a few weeks, will be followed,
it is said, by the putting on of re
gular train service to Marion,
where a connection can be made
with the Southern railway.
