Crenshaw, of Mecklenburg county, who killed a negro watermelon thief, and wss sentenced to six months on the roads. Th? petitien for his pardon set f rtli | that frequent depredations on melon* and other crops had been made in that section. The pardon was recommended by the solicitor, the mayor of Charlotte and 720 citizens, includu p. the pastor of the Presbyterian church of which Cren shaw is n member, and set* forth that Crenshaw is a man of high character.?Charlotte Observer.

TAN WYCK ITEMS. t? i By un interview with our puhlie ^iuuer* we learn that they here ginu?<l about one half the number ^ of bales to date thie year that they did lael, but the balea arer age much lighter. It take* from I two hundred to three hundred I peond* more aeed eotten to make a bale weighing tire hundred than ' it did last season. We noticed that one ceunty in Texas has apI plied to the Governor fer relief as the people were starviag for , something to sat. They did not h'.ve anything and ceuld not taiss j anything before next April. There is manv a borne here in Lancaster ! county in like cendidtioa. Soaae I farmers have not ae ranrh km a | perk of corn and no other groin, i rhey ore living from band to mouth. The merchants bore os onr coll* for selling goods on time as in May and June. The country is really in a desperate condition and worse coming. M?". S. N. Mathews ef Wardlaw, N. C., a member of the firm of lie Menus A (Is., Van Wyck, tp*nt several days here this week. Rev. R. A. Yongue of Fort Mill, S. C., spent Monday night in Van Wyck. He superintended the erection of a handsome monument at the grave-of Mrs. J. M. Ywder. He is taking orders for the Epworth Orphanage marble v m rri Inmki. C XI ? V/UIU ! > !> ) <J. V7. iUI. Yougue is an expert marble mil haviug worked at tha business for vears, and tba aalaction of thia J monumaat was largely laft ta hia , good judgment and taste. It ia ( niada of white Georgia marble, stands about eight faet high, , weighs 2400 lbs, with marbla ( cradle enclosing tha grave. It ia dacidadly the most handsome piece of marble work in Van W vck cemetery, and quite an advertisement for tba Epworth Orphanage marbU yard. Mr. ' Yongue also placed a nice head ' stone at the grave af the late and ( venerable Rev. W. Cr Patterson, * ordeied by his daughter, Mrs. T. ' E. H. Stephenson of Waxhaw, N. ' through Mr. Yengue, also 1 frem the Epworth Orphanage 1 marble yard. Thia work aleo recommends the marbla work of 1 this institution. 1 We noticed several allusions in The Ledger recently aheut the Florida newspaper work and the ' North Carolina cherry tree business. We also read quite an ex lenrieu write up in the Lancaster Enterprise of the fraud, as it was styled. 1 think perhaps Van Wyck was the first place a club was getten up fer the newspaper business in this county and as far as I know, the first in the State. T knew the first in the State. 1 know that the lady who first toek held of it here, has gotten an much as four hundred dollars salary from the work in less than fifteen months and is still working fer the company at thirty-fire dollars per menth. When she went into it, some cried fraud, but she went te work and got the money. About a dozen others here took up the work and hare '[) wall ti&Stl for i 1 af not mora than two manths bare ^ona inta it and hara lost nothing 1 racardlaas af newapapar writa upa of thaaa doubtful thingg.

We look for strange developments later. Sheriff Hunter was tele. phoned for and he and Mr. Horton came with the blaod hounds. Also Mr. Perry,assistant coroner, and Dr. W. M.
