captiously replied, "I told you that It Is no use to ask me questions, because I am not going to answer them," and then he added, as If half repentant at his rudeness: "I?I don't mean any offense." In the man's grip was found a silver match box containing a fine powder, believed to be a high explosive: a vial of nitro-glycerine; half a bar of toilet soap, some putty: a piece of cotton string, a handful of seed cotton, a copy of the Charlotte News containing an account of the safe robbery at Forest City: $27.60 in silver; a razor and several other articles. His revolver, a 41-calibre double acting Colt had been carried in a leather holster, strapped about his waist. The reporter had a talk with Dr. Dulin shortly after he left last night at about 10 o'clock. The doctor had been with the man all day, and incidentally had tried to get him to talk about himself; but without success. He gave the doctor to understand that If he was certain that he was going to die he might make a statement; but he was not very particular. ?e lamea iu ure doctor about various matters of general Interest and showed himself to be well informed. In answer to questions by the reporter. Dr. Dulin said that he considered the case very serious; but not hopeless. If the 'bullet that entered the chest went straight In the direction indicated by its entrance, there was no possible chance of recovery; but he could not tell about this for four or five days. He did not think that the shotgun wounds amounted to a great deal, and was not certain either as to the probable effect of the bullet that entered the hip. One of the bullets was extracted. Dr. Dulin thinks that the other probably remained. Chief Kendrick was still on the ground when the reporter left last night, and said his movements today would depend upon the condition of his prisoner. The prisoner himself has expressed a desire to be taken to Cleveland or Rutherfordton jail, and the change will be made as soon as possible. The only thing found on the prisoner that seemed to suggest a possible identity was a thousand mile ticket, made out in the name of "W. F. Colvert," of "Baltimore," and dated Savannah June 23, but there is little reason for supposing that this will throw much light on the question as to who he is. In trailing the fellow, Messrs. kussell and Hoard gathered the idea that he was quite familiar with the country, and that he has evidently been in this neighborhood before. Among his possessions was one of Rand, McNally & Co.'s railroad maps of the United States. As to the whereabouts of the 'confederate who was seen with him at King's Mountain, there seems to have been do developments. A phone message from Balloon, shortly after noon today, said that the wounded cracksman was evidently growing weaker and it looked as if he could not last long. Mr. C. R. Simmons, manager of the company store at Forest City, arrived early this morning and identified the man as having been seen about that place during several days preceeding and up to the date of the robbery. The understanding is that the company store lost over 52,000. The message also stated that some of the bills found in the Bessemer grip have been positively identified as having come from the Forest City robbery. Calvert, or whatever the name of the fellow may be. is not yet Inclined to talk. LOCAL LACONICS. Important Cases Settled. The Southern railway has succeeded in settling two of the heavy damage cases that grew out of the Fishing creek wreck. They are the cases of Fireman Rhyne and Conductor Turner. The clerk of the court was so notified yesterday. The terms of the settlement have not been made public. Free Library. The Bethesda public school has a free circulating library, and Mr. J. J. Clinton of the board of trustees, advises us that almost any school In this section can get one by making application to Mrs. E. B. Heard of Middleton, Ga.

Some mighty good citizens have been treated that way. I started out to tell you about some contracts now being offered for the first time, and exclusively by the Mutual Benefit. They are 14 and 19 payment policies, which means that you make either 14 or 19 payments, as you may elect, and when the specified payments have been made you have a paid up policy for the face of your contract, and therefore pay no more. The contract embraces all the features peculiar to Mutual Benefit policies, and the cost is practically the same as is charged by other reputable companies for 15 and 20 payment contracts. SAM M.
