Seems Probable Within Few Days
A Country gentleman Starts an Extraor
dinary Excitement.
A big excltemeDt waa caused, at the
Broad 8treet Fuit Company's i store
yesterday afternoon by the combination
of a "nigger . chaser", and a lot of fire
works. " ,, - . -
, A farmer from Pamlico county went
Into tbe store to bay some Christmas
fireworks forJhe 'kld" at home. Hav
ing considerable of a load on he was in
clined to Jolly t the boys f who frequent
the store.': The boys urged him to trv
tbe vutuea.of a nigger chaser. - He was
Just foolish enough to do It. ? -
At firBt the thing sputtered' but In a
minute it got busy and the spitting, spnt
wring toy got too hot or the man was
too frightened . to hold it and let It bo.
The "-chaser" phased Itself Into a pile of
fireworks which were on the sidewalk,
igniting tbtm and there wsi more dolne
than any. one had expected. Then there
was an r exhibition vervv suirireHttrA of
San Juanor Mont Pelee.
Sky rockets, roman candles, fire crack
ers an went oil In one grand ' pyrolech
nio display and It' wasn't dark either.
The .whole outfit exploded and the
rockets went flying everv wav. One
flew aoross the street and broke a win
dow pane la Simpson's undertaking es
tabllshment. That there was no body
hurt is a miracle for the street must
have been full of people. Bow they es
isped tbe fusillade is most strange.
What became of the man f He never
stopped to see the result of his fun but
immediately started on a lively ran for
noma ana u ne hasn't got there he's run
nlrigjllll. He was thorduffhlv frichtenod
and although it was Impossible for the
ponce to got film, : The punishment he
got by the scare will be deemed suf
Sclent.
There were about $15 worth of fire
works destroyed and a quantity of fruit
ana canay spoiled. -
Bnrbera In Eurona.
"A sure wiry to break yourself of the
habit of going to a barber sboD to tret
slinved Is to travel In TSurope," said a
man who has traveled. "I remember
tbat when-1 first went to Eurona I
thought that I would never be able to
learn to shave myself and tbat I wna
belpless so far as this was concerned.
didn't finish my triD tbroueh Eurona
beiore I took un sbavine. and now I
shave myself nil the. time. Tbe barber
snops in Europe, except in England
and 'a few of the lareer cities, ara the
worst of their kind in the world. There
aruo modern conveniences and mighty
little of a sanitary nature. Tbe chain
ore uncomfortable, and the barbera are
lndlffert'ht about bow they suave you
or wbat tliry do with you. They place
a big bowl ln.your lap, and when they
have- finished with you the suDDoaltlon
la that yon will wash your own face In
tbe bowl. Tbere la none of the little
luxuries wo have over here In the wav
