Last Friday uight Deputy Sheriff
S. A.Smith, of Lenoir, and Deputy
E. S. Garland, of Mortimer, ar
rested Will Honeycutt at his home,
four miles from Mortimer, on the
charge of retailing liquor. Honey
cutt made no resistance, said he
was expecting them and had
arranged with his brothers in law,
Robert, Keith and Adolphus
Pritchaid to go ou his bond. The
officers started with their prisoner,
handcuffed to Deputy Garland and
accompanied by Mrs. Honeycutt
and Adolphus Pritchard, toward
Mortimer. At a point on the road
uear the home of the Pritchards
the oflicers were asked to wait
while Mrs. Honeycutt went to get
her brothers Robert and Keith, to
make the bond. While waitiog
here a fire was made in the road, as
the air was chilly. After a brief
stay here, the oflicers were called
to from the brush near by to turn
the prisoner loose or they would
all be killed. The officers called
back to the parties to come on and
fix the bond and not have any
trouble. Then, with further threats
and curses, the parties in the brain

Rev. William Walsh, New York
Jesuit Tells of Remarkable Expe
rience. New York, Jan. 28. Rev Wil
liam Walsh, a Jesuit and one of
the best known Catholic priests in
the city, preaching in the church
of St. Paul the Apostle, expressed
a belief in clairvoyance and told of
a case that came nuder his own ob
servation. Father Walsh's subject was
"Prayer and Reason." He said
that when a person asked (to hae
prayers said to effect a cure the
majority ol people scoff at the idea
and many refuse to grant that any
person possesses the power to see
objects not visible to the eye.
'Clairvoyance aud clairaurauce
are scoffed at as impossibilities."
he said, "but I believe aud have
had proof that they are not impos
sible. I had my skepticism re
moved some time ago by a very
striking illustration of the powers
of clairvoyaucy. A friend of mine
visited a clairvoyant in thus city.
My friend was a stranger in New
York and his heme is 250 miles
away. The moment he entered the
room in which the clairvoyant a
woman was she said she could
tell him all aUuit his home.
First the woman described in
minute detail all the objects of the
various rooms of the house just as
though she were actually iu the
house and walking from room to
room. She told of the persons
that were there and of the inci
dents that took place after my
friend had departed for New York .
can see,' said the clairvoyant,
that a crucifix has been broken and
thai people in the house are trying
$6glue it together, I can see all
these things just as plainly as if I
i were in your house.'
"My friend did not believe that
all.the clairvoyant had told him
was tiue. As the crucifix was not
broken when my Iriend left home.
he decided to test the woman . He
wrote to his family asking about
theorucifid and soon after received
a letter verifying everything that
had been said.
All of this goes fo prove that the
day of miracles is not over.
,Clothin Firms Close Down.
The Times.
.Baltimore, N. D., Jan 25 The
clothing board of trade held a meet
ing last night, at which every
clothing firm in gojd standing in
th,e city was represented and de
cided to shut down entirely, so far
as their garnieut workers were con
cerned. This will mean that be
tween 15,000 and lf.,000 garment
workers of this city will be thrown
out of employment. Cutters aud
trimmers will not be affected.
The lockout is the result of the
strike at the factories of Strouse &
Company and the drastic step has
been taken after a fruitless effort
on the part of that firm to effect a
settlement with its employes.
Says Charity and Children
"Wadesboro has become a 'city.'
In New England it would hardly
pass for a decent village, and we
mean no reflection on Wadesboro
by this term. It is A beaiiitful and
attiaotive little town, but it is net
a city for the same reason that a
calf is not a cow." Strictly speak
ing, no place under 50, 000 people
is rated as a city, and by that rat
ing there is not a city in North
Carolina. Rut the government cen
sus soon to be taken will show one,
and that one will be Charlotte.-
Charlotte Chronicle.
"As soon as a village or town in
North Carolina gets population
enough to organize a town govern
ment, Its then ' 'City, ' ' There are
very few "towns" in North Caro

Daniel Boone's Cabin.
Charlotte Chronicle.
The Lexingten Dispatch has lo
cated the home of Daniel Roone
the great pioneer, on the banks of
the Yadkin, in what is now Roone
township, Davison county, some
twelve or fifteen miles from Lex
ington, and about eight miles from
Spencer, on lands owned by Philip
Sowers, a citizen well known in
Davidsou and Rowan coim' i ".
The Dispatch man, aecomp:r ii-d !
by a party of scientists, visited the
local it v Saturdav. An excav ;tu n
was made where the cabin i -stcd
'and rock taken out that undoubt
edly formed part of the chimney
foundation of the Boone home."
Furthermore, near the site of the
cabin, ''is Devil's Ken, or Boone's
cave, a natural cave in which a
less plain traditional story has it.
Boone used as & place of refuge
from the Indians. The cave is in
the river bluff perhaps a bit high
er than high water mark, and com
mands a wide view of the river and
surrounding country. Near the
cabin, also, is the spring said to
have leen used bv Boone." The
Dispatch seems to le able to prove
that Daniel Boone lived in David
son county and went from there
through Yadkin, Watauga and on
to Kentucky. "Boone" township,
"Boone's" bottoms, Boon's" Cjve,
"Boonville," in Yadkin, and
Boone in Watauga, all bear witness
to this. The Dispatch has collect
ed a lot of Daniel Boone Relies and
the plan is to reconstruct the old
pioneer's log cabin and store the
relics in it. in further explsna
tion, the Dispatch says: A number
of Rowan gentlemen are more or
less interested in this matter
among whom are Col. J. S. Hen
derson and Mayor Boyden, and it
is hoped to get others interested,
and also to interest the represena
tives in the Legislature from Da
vidson and Rowan, and have a bill
passed to appropriate a small
amount, a hundred or two dollars,
individuals to raise a like amount,
to erect the cabin and place in it
the various relics.
Caught And- Held Burglar.
Ashoville, N. C, Mrs. Henry
F. Barkley, of 454 Depot street, a
demure little woman of qnick wit
and ready nerve, had a thrilling
experience with a burglar a white

noon about dusk. Mrs. Barklev had
i)een up street shopping, and re
turning to her home and to her
sleeping apartments, where she had
left the shades drawn, was startled
upon entering the room, to find
herself face to face with a white
man. On account of the darkened

landed her a stinging blow in the
face. The lady instead of attempt

and after a tussle, forced him to a
