Police do their Duty without respect to Persons. Thei Wall Still Covered with Bloody Gore., .HE fight was on South Main Street at the Bazaar and Ten Cent Stores of 0. S. Minor & Co. It was an attack of the combined forces of seven other merchants on the famous 0. S. Minor. They fought in defence of their prices, which they ?claimed had. been crushed out of all respectability by the said 0. S. Minor, and they fought with desperation to restore the former prices, but down they go in the dead of the fight, and their blood on our Store-front only is left to tell a pitiful tale of woe. Stranger than Strange. One man claimed that we had reduced the price of Pants to 25c. and 50c. per pair?lees than cost to ma^e. We don't care. Another claimed that we sell the best quality Mason Fruit Jar at less than he can bay the second qualify. We don't care for that, either. Another said oar 10c. Hosiery was the same that he had to sell at 15c, or two pair for 25e, and that we Bold his 15c Suspenders at 10c, and his 25c Suspenders at 15c Well, what of that ? Another man believes that we are selling his 40c Caps and Saucers for 30c, and his 85c Plates at 25c. Why should we care ? A certain millinery man thinks we have knocked him ont of more than a hundred sales. We don't have to pay a milliuor, and he don't believe we pay for oar good?. What concern is tbat of his ? Another man claims that we sell Tobacco at a starvation price. Has he any right to Object ? These are Borne of the complaints made against as. We ask you whose busi? ness is it, if not that of oar easterners and ourselves ? Can't we make such figures as we see fit without being hounded down and forced to fight for our lives ? We'll -fight to the death?we'll pat their blood on our walls and their scalps on our doors, and their customers in possession of undoubted bargains. Say, would you wash tbat blood off the wall, or would you let it stay as a warning ? Yoara for Spot Cash, . . '??_ C. S. MINOR, THE BAZAAR and the 10c. STORE. CANE MLS, EVAPORATORS AID COTTON GINS!

"Be ye kind one to another." "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and rnger, and clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you with all malice." We publish below an essay written by a young man a student in Belton High School. It is worth reading. Try it. Try the plan of reading ap on some subject during vacation, in order to give the pupils some advanced ideas next ses sion. The above Memory Gems are taken from the letter to the Ephesians. They contain good advice from a very good source. Advice that every one might take and appropriate and practice. Some one has said the cause of the failure of the public school system?if it has failed?is due to the fact that there "is just enough public help to paralyze individual efforts. There is truth in this. Hence our repeated remark, rely cot on the public funds. The closing exercises of the P. M. I. were well attended and highly appre? ciated. Col. Patrick does not select some of the best and put th em on exhibition, but he puts, each pupil on the program, so that the patrons can see each one's effort. The Military Institute has just closed a very successful session. The Cadets will be missed, but we hope to see the attendance during the next ses? sion even larger than daring the session just closed. We wiah every boy, girl, young man and young woman could have heard the recent utterances of Dr. J. William Jones on the "Christian Character of Stonewall Jackson/' also his lecture on the "Boys, in Grey," and his sermon. We feel sure that they would have had kindled warmer feelings for those who stood in the thick of battle for their dear country's sake. They would have been forced to admire the Christian character of Jackson. They would also have been thoroughly convinced that Panl made a wiser decision than did the "young ruler," after the question "What must I do ?" "LABOR VINCIX OMNI A." There have been, in the history of this world, many great and wise men, who have written many true sayings. But the wisest and truest of all these is, "La? bor Vincit Omnia," or "Labor conquers all things." There are many different kinds of labor. Among the different kinds are mental, physical, honest and dishonest labor. If a man hires to aucther to work for him, acd, as soon as his employer's back is turned, he does not do his work properly, it is dishonest labor, or in other words it is stealing, The rewards of labor are success, wealth acd happiness. One of the re* wards of labor, as we have stated above, Is wealth. Wealth has great and benefi? cent uses, but may be made to make men either prosperous and happy, or misera? ble and poor. It is both right and hon? orable to seek wealth, provided it is done rightly in the sight of God. If wealth cannot be obtained with a clear con? science, and by honest labor, it is far bet? ter to be poor. John Wesley said, "Get all you can, save all you can, and then give all you can.'-' But this does not mean for the wealth to be obtained through any other means than by honest labor. If a person gains great wealth through fraud, no matter how much he gives to charity, it will add no more to his treasures in Heaven. An unparalleled illustration, showing that "Labor conquers all things," is the story of Christopher Columbus, with which we are all more or lees acquainted. After he conceived the idea that the world was round, it was eighteen years before he accomplished his designs. During all this time he was very patient, and bravely devoted to the one purpose of his life. Columbus first laid bis plans before the King of Portugal, but was there ridiculed. Yet he did not despair, but went to tho Court of Spain. There, after seven long years of labor and wait? ing, he obtained his request, and then discovered this beautiful land of oars. Had it not been for the perseverance and labor of that great man, it is probable that this grand and glorious country of oars would not have been discovered, but that it would have been in the hands of BavageB until the present day. The farmer does not plant his crop and then sit down and do nothing and expect the products of his farm tc come to him. But, on the contrary, ho be? stows upon his farm great physical labor, and when the crop is gathered he enjoys the benefit thereof. The farm does not require much mental labor, bat it does require the expenditure of mach manual labor. How did that great and noble man, Wade Hampton, rescue the fair State of South Carolina from the hands of the Republicans in the heated campaign of 1876 ? It was only by great mental and physical exertion. It was labor that conquered. Some people, especially young men, aeem to think that they can live by suck? ing the end of a gold headed cane. It is a mistake. A person cannot live without laboring, for it was so decreed when God expelled Adam from the garden of Eden. Demosthenes, the unrivaled orator of Greece, was once an awkward, sickly, stammering boy, and when he first ap? peared before the public was hissed off the stage. But by his determined energy and perseverance he "placed himself at the head of all the mighty masters of speech?unapproachable forever." If a person wishes to make a success of the time allotted him to live, he must form a fast friendship with perseverance and honest labor. And if he deserts these two friends qf his he will soon find life is a total failure, for a man ive without laboring. Not one time, but many times, did Cyrus W. Field attempt and fail to lay the great Atlantic cable. But, by the great perseverance, which was character* istic of the man, he at last succeeded. This teaches us that if, In our attempt to do a thing we fail, we must not despair, but we must try again. Some people seem to think that it is a disgrace to labor, and are ashamed to be seen at work. Such people are very ign orant and unreasonable. Any kind of labor, assigned to a man by his Creator, no matter how small the reward, is hon? orable. , How did the present Governor of South Carolina obtain the responsible position which he now holds ? He did it by the hardest kind of labor. Idleness is dishonorable. The laboring man is muscular and healthy, the idle man weak and unhealthy. The laboring man can go home from his work and en? joy a good meal with his family. It is generally not the case with the idle man) for he has no appetite. Yon seldom hear of the constant laborer having any troubles or difficulties with his friends and neighbors. He does not have time. Nearly all of the notorious gamblers and thieves we hear of, are idlers. Thus we see that labor has a tendency to make every man attend to his own business and to let other people's alone. It is a true saving that "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." God has given to all persona both in? tellect and physical strength, which, if they will use in the right direction will, indeed, prove tbat "Labor conquers all things." In the words of Longfellow? "Let us. then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait." Bloody Work In Greenville. Gebenville, June 14.?Alderman Herman G. Gilreath was shot and in? stant; J killed in Main Street this morn? ing by J. Mima Sullivan. The promi? nence of the parties and the defenceless position of the murdered man have made the affair the cause of great excitement. The two men met on a street crossing nnd exchanged a few wordu. Mr. Sulli? van drew his pistol and aa Mr. Gilreath turned to go shot him in the side and, as he was falling, shot him again in the back. Yesterday afternoon Gilreath, who was a steward in the Buncombe Street Meth? odist Church, was at the parsonage assisting Dr. Pate, the pastor, in plant- | ing some corn and peas. A negro was ploughing, Gilreath was dropping the seed, and Dr. Pate was keeping the chickens away. The negro ploughed up an old beer bottle, and Gilreath picked it up and facetiously asked Dr. Pate if he kept bottles of that kind around, his house. He threw it over his head and it fell in Sullivan's yard. Some children told Sullivan about it and he came out very angry. Gilreath offered to go into the yard and take it out, but Sullivan cursed him and said Gilreath should not come on his premi? ses. Gilreath said he would settle it at another time and they parted. This morning Gilreath wrote Sullivan a note, saying that he had insulted him in the presence of a minister, and tbat if Sullivan would designate a place of meet? ing they would settle the matter, and he would endeavor to give Sullivan full sat? isfaction. Sullivan immediately come down the street and met Gilreatb, who was in his buggy in Main Street. Gil? reath aBked if Sullivan wanted to see him. Sullivan replied that he had thrown down the gauntlet and it was for Gilreath to see him. Gilreath got out of his buggy and walked toward Sullivan. When within about ten feet of him Gil? reath asked Sullivan if he repeated his insult of yesterday. Sullivan replied that he did. Gilreath repeated bis ques? tion. Sullivan repeated his answer. Gilreath said nothing, but looked stead? ily at the ground. Sullivan drew his pistol and said: "Get away from here." Gilreath turned to obey, but Sullivan fired, the ball entering the left side and piercing the upper lobe of the left lung. Gilreath stopped, and in falling turned his back to Sullivan, who again fired, the ball entering Gilreath's back and ranging up the spinal column to the neck. Gilreath dropped dead and Sulli? van, with amazing coolness, walked to the sidewalk, took the arm of a police? man, walked down to the sheriffs office and surrendered. He employed as his counsel Gen. J. Walter Gray, whom he mot on the way, and was taken to jail. Gilreath was carried into the store of Fin lay Bros., and shortly afterward to his home. A post-mortem examination revealed the fact that either shot would have produced death. Only the ball that entered the back was discovered. Mr. Gilreath was a good man and pop? ular citizen and an alderman of the city, and there is great indignation at his cruel death. Excited groups of men have discussed the event on the streets all day and to? night there is strong talk of lynching. There iB hardly a probability, however, of such an attempt being succesful, as Sheriff Gilreath himself, (though a brother to the murdered men,) four policemen and six other well armed men are guarding the jail. The coroner's inquest has adjourned until to morrow for further testimony. The testimony already taken is damag? ing to Sullivan. Gilreath had no weap? ons on hia person. He carried a light cane in his right hand, but made no attempt to use it. Ho had not got nearer than ten feet of Sullivan. It is under? stood that the defence will be self-de? fence, and the note received by Sullivan will play an important part in the case. Mr. Gilreath's friends say the note was misconstrued, and that Mr. Gilreath meant that ho would satisfactorily ex? plain the affair, and not that he would give satisfaction in an encounter?Dis? patch to the News and Courier. ? This daily grind is wearing me down terribly, said a razor to the hone. You'd feel better if you got an edge on, replied I the hone. You haven't got grit enough ' to get one on yourself, retorted the razor, bluntly. Don't be so cutting, answered the hone, shortly, and then the razor shut BILL ARP'S TALK. The South Is Sitting at the Gate? Biding Its Time, Atlanta Constitution* I don't care much who they nominate. "It's all optionary with me," as Cobe says when he can't prevent a thing from hap? pening acd don't care much nohow. Let 'em rip. Blessed ate they that expect little, for they shall not be disappointed. If a man is out of jail he ought tobe thankful, and I am. I thought that may? be Blaine was a bigger, broader man than his party, and would let the South alone, but I see that his buglemen are waving the bloody shirt at as and have got the nigger in the woodpile, just like Harri? son, and so I don't care who they nomi? nate. It's all optionary with me. I wish they would let the darkey rest awhile and take up the Indians or the Chinese. I wonder what makes them fellers ap there hate as so bad and so long, They remind me of Haman, who had all the riches and all the power, bat was not happy because Mordecai?poor, proud, unbending Mor decai?was Bitting at the gate. They had better mind?better not build that gal? lows. Old Grover hung a man once, they say, and the next one won't be Morcedai. We are Bitting at the gate, biding oar time. The dear old South is long suffer? ing and patient, bat she still trusts in God. The dear old Sooth still loves to preserve the faith of the father and the morals of the nation. That is her desti? ny. I believe it as Btrongly as I believe that I live. The time will come when the mighty North will look to us for help, for protection from anarchy and revolution. A kind providence has kept away from as the lawless hordes of Europe, and the negro has in this way proved a blessing. We know him, and had rather have him than to have the scarf of all nations thrust apon him. New England is sick ?Bick unto death?Biet morally, reli? giously and agriculturally. Every year doubles the number of barrels of rum that she ships to Africa. Rum for the slave trade. Every year sees more abac* doned farms, more of the native born families going westward and more for? eigners coming in. We see it stated that the Roman Oaarch is now the strongest in the New England States, and President Hyde, of Bowdoin College, in Maine, has recently published an article with the ominous title ot "Impending Paganism in New England." He declares that in the rural districts the Churches have so dwindled as to have on their rolls only the names of a few women with hardly enough men to do the work of a Church organisation. Alas for cultured, classic, critical, ex? acting Jew England. The seed that her fanatics sowed is bearing fruit. President Hyde sayB that oat of 6,987 familes in one County 4,850 attend no Church, and that this is a fair example, and that this decline has been caused by the preaching of a barren theology and too great insist? ence on theolog:cal doctrines. What a pity. Not one third of her families ever represented in Christian Churches. I will wager that four-fifths of the families of Bartow County are represented at Church service at least once a month. I have made a careful estimate, and leaving out those who are too old or too young, or are invalids, or have the care of the infants, three-fourths of our population in Car tersville attend Church or Sabbath school every Sabbath. Dr. Lafferty delivered a lecture here the other night, which we all enjoyed, and he asserted thatthe progress of Christianity was to be measured by the money contributions to the Church and her charities. I think that he is mistaken. I believe there is more pure, andeflled religion among the pour than among' the rich members. A Boston merchant who makes $20,000 a year in the rum trade can well afford to give $1,000 to a Church, and he does it to quiet his conscience. The Lord gets large money from the rich while they live and larger legacies when they die, but they get no credit on St. Peter's books. The North payB their preachers better than we pay ours, be? cause they are more able, and they send them on grand excursions to Omaha and Oregon, but still they are not happy as long as Mordecai is sitting at the gate. Just think what a world of money pours into the pockets of her people from gov? ernment contracts for the army and navy, and from supplies of every kind, and public buildings and rivers and harbors and pensions and salaries, and a thousand things too numerous to mention. It goes out of the public treasury in great slices, and if a little appropriation is made for us they send their own men down here to spend it, and tbeir own material to build with. And right now they are demand? ing protection for infant industries that are fifty years old, and making us pay a protection tax on everything from a hair? pin to a handsaw, from a Jew's harp to a Church organ. "How long, oh, Cataline, wilt thou abuse our patience ?" No won der our people are poor and kept poor. The wonder is how we have progressed at all in national wealth. No wonder the toilers are restless and have banded to? gether and formed alliances and a third party in the vain hope that they can do Bomething. They might as well try to move a mountain with a crowbar. The third party is actually trying to join them up yonder so as to get some of the crumbs that fall from their masters' table?some of the gold that is in the pension plank, There's nothing in it but a few offices for a few leaders, but every little while Borne small fellow, who imagines himself a statesman, jumps up and says: "Boys, I see it! I see it! Now, you just follow me." Sometimes a young statesman will write a letter and demand a platform. "Give ub a platform of principles,"he says. "Let us see what is your platform." You may know that a statesman hasent got much beard who attaches so much impor? tance to a platform. Like the platforms at the end of the cars?they are made to get in on, but not to stand on. I would rather have Henry G. Turner to repre? sent me without a platform than some other men with one. What do I know about silver?what does any common man know ? What do I care about increasing the "per capita," unless I see a way of getting some of it ? I would rather say to Mr. Turner and Mr. Blount and Mr. Moses: "Gentlemen, you have studied all these questions a* 1 heard all the arga ments, and I have confidence in your judgment and your integrity, and I will trust you. Do the best you can for ub." It makes me sick to hear a little fellow arguing the silver question. As Cobe says, "he is jest a sidewipin' around, and banting the orthography of a little offis." The platform of a political party is ve? neered on top with many planks, but the structure undereath and out of sight is the credulity of the people. The office seekers and office-holders build the plat? forms and veneer them with bait, just like a boy sets his trap and baits it for birds. But one thing we do know: Mr. Cleveland's administration left $130,000, 000 in the treasury, and Mr. Harrison's spent it all the first year and came down npon us for more. Mr. Cleveland's watchword was reform, and Mr. Harri? son's is protection and the force bill. Now, let the South stand together und pall together and make one united effort to elect Mr. Cleveland or some other good man, for there Is no hope from any other party, and no hope from any platform except reform. If we fail, we can still do what we have been doing for a long time. Like Mordecai,ji?e can keep on sitting at thtj gate, and watch them as they build the gallows. They are In trouble cow. They have had two lynchingB in two weeks, and the last, at Port Jervis, has made a sensation. It is a little town in New Jersey?so little you can't find it on the map, and yet the press reports say that over one thousand men Wets engag? ed in it. It 13 amusing to Bee how the Republican papers try to get out of it. The New York Iribune says it is only one case against scores of them at the South ?that it is the exception, but with ustt is the rule. Let us see about that. New York has 6,500,000 people, and only 65,* 000 negroes?one in 100. Georgia bas nearly one to one, and so we are just as much entitled to 100 lynchings as they are to one. Wo will ?ccp a tally sheet with them and tote fair. They may preach and Ihey may pray, but the negro will be lynched up there all the same when he commits the crime, and he will be lynched down here. Why, the negroes themselves approve of it here, -and last Monday they lynched one of their own color at Forsyth. And no let the proces? sion proceed. These negroes are going to scatter by and by. The South will be overflowing after awhile, and the waste will get up North, and we will see what we will see. Mordecai will be sitting at the gate and watching the gallo v?3 go up. _ Bill Abp. Cotton Milling in the South. The Massachusetts Legislature has been considering a bill to reduce the hours per week. The cotton mill manu* facturers are protesting against this strenuously and their arguments before the Legislative Committee discloses what havoc the Southern cotton mills are.pro? ducing among the New England plants. The facts, as stated below, should be com? pared to the condition among the South? ern mills, which are now in a prosperous condition, paying good dividends and steadily enlarged and improving the quality of their output. It seems to set? tle for all time to come the controversy of where the real seat of cotton manu* facture in America is to be. J. Howard Nichols, treasurer of the .Dwight Manufacturing Company, Chico* pee, Mass., testified that competition, partly from the Southern mills, "is so intense that a small fraction of a cent on a yard is the difference between success and failure," tu & Massachusetts mill, and he adds, "for myself, I confess the outlook is not cheering, and I would not invest nor advise a friend to put one dol? lar into any new cotton factory in Massa? chusetts ''Our men of greatest wealth are not putting their money into the mills in Massachusetts. They can find more profitable employment elsewhere for their capital, and they see the danger which threatens them here." Mr, Joseph Healy, treasurer of the Osborn Mills, Fall River, takes almost as gloomy a view, and supports it with marked quotation. Following all this testimony comes that ol Mr. Elliott O. Clark, treasurer of of the Bott Mills, at Lowell. "I simply want," said Mr. Clark, "to give you a few cold facts in regard to Southern compe? tition," and he proceeded to give them In detail and at considerable length. "It seems to me," he said, "that the whole danger to our Massachusetts industries is from the South ; tbat has been brought to my attention, especially within the last few years, by the fact that Southern mills are taking away my work from me. 1 am Iosiog my contracts a good deal in that way. It is also the same in regard to the trade in China, because the South* ern States get ahead of me." The witness Went on to explain that he had looked into the subject carefully, comparing goods, prices, etc., with those of South Carolina Mills, to learn how and where he was being beaten, He continued: "There are several good mills down there. The Pacolet is a good mill; so is the Clifton and the Piedmont. I looked at their goods and found they were just as good as mine. They beat me actually in speed. In the cost per pound of 13 to 22 yarn I found that they beat me oat of my boots; we are not in it with them. My cotton was costing me 10.2 cents per pound and theirs 9.15 cents. The differ? ence in price of cotton was pretty near the profit. They are just as good weav? ers, just as good spinnera?so those who have been there tell me. This is the sort of competition we are meeting with."? Cliarlotte News.

Richmond Dispatch, The recent death near Moaut Airy, N. C, of Mrs. Sallie Bunker, widow of Eog Banker, one of the world-reaownod Si* amese twins, recalls to mind mach of the domestic history of these gentlemen and their families, comparatively little of which has ever found its way into print, which comes now direct from one who lived in the neighborhood of their homes in the old North State, and who was a personal friend of the twins from his youth ap. Chang and Eng were born in 1S11, in the lowlands of Siam, of humble parent* age, and at an early age lost their father. As soon as they were old enough to be of ose to their widowed mother she pot them to the light work of tending a large lock of ducks, which they took out every morning in the boat to a neighboring marsh where the wild rice was plentiful ; there they remained all day, and at night, at the blowing of a horn, the ducks would waddle bock to the boat, crawl aboard, and theo tho twins would paddle them home. When the boys were probably 12 or 13 years of age an English traveller happened that way, and, after viewing them with amazement, for a stipulated consideration with their mother, obtained possession of them. Leaving the East shortly after Mr. Banker for several years exhibited the twins in every part of the known world, treating them with great kindness and making money by them whever he went, until 1832 he had amassed a fortune, and the twins being by this time of age, he considerately gave them their freedom, with permission to adopt his name and with enough ready cash to start them comfortably in life. This happened in Raleigh, N.* C, and the young men, though they loved their protector well, loved freedom better, so with a friendly parting on both Bides, they started out to make their way alone?yet together. While in Raleigh they heard Borne talk regarding the excellent hunting to he found in tho mountainous part of the State, and, wishing for a little recreation, they journeyed to the Piedmont section, where they finally took cp their resi? dence at the house of a well-to-do farm* er, named Yates, living in the county of Wilkes, situated at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountain?, and seventy-five miles west of Greensboro. Farmer Yates was fond of the chase. Living in good, old-fashioned style with plenty of negroes and dogs, .raising sup? plies of all kinds and surrounded by a large family, he took life easy, and made it pleasant for the twins, who boarded with him for a considerable time. While there Eng Bunker became greatly attach? ed to Miss Sallie Yates and Chang Bun? ker lost his heart to Miss Adelaide. Some time between 1835 and 1840 a double marriage took place at the resi? dence of Father in-Iaw Yates, and the twins commenced their married life no a farm which was in easy distance of their wives'old homestead. Here they lived happily farming part of the time and at intervals going ou the road with Bar num and others, returning home occa? sionally to their families and fireside with well-filled pockets. But the farm on which they lived did not suit the twins, so they purchased about 2,000 acred iu the adjoining county of Surrey, within three miles of the then little vil? lage of Mount Airy, now tho terminus of j the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Rail? road. On this estate they erected a large, comfortable frame house, with neccessary outbuildings, and made many improve? ments. Being of a cheerful, kindly dis? position, their lives passed smoothly for several years, while several children were born to each wife. Some of the children were nearly grown, when one day, from some cause or other, a squabble ensued, in which the mothers wook part, and subsequently Chang and Eng, who, being men of spir? it and courage, drew knives and were about to attack each other, when the wives, seeing the danger, begged them to desist, The twins ceased straggling, but decided that they would then end there be separated, and at once sent to Mt. Airy for their family physician, Dr. Hollingsworth, a man with quite a local, reputation as a skillful surgeon. He ar? rived with his instruments and after being told what was wanted, remarked: "All right, just get np on that table and I'll fix yon, but which would you prefer, that I should sever the fiesh that connects you or cut off your heads ? One will produce much about the same results as the other." This brought the twins to their senses, for they knew very well that the great surgeons in London, Paris and New York had decided that it would bo death to Bep? arate them. In a perplexity of mind how to guard against future warfare in their household the twins called in Dr. Hollingsworth and Messrs. Gilmore and Rawley, of | Mount Airy, as arbitrators. These gen? tlemen, after revolving the problem in their minds, drew up a legal contract whose principal provisions were that out of the money owned by the twins a simi? lar mansion and like outbuildings as those which they then owned should be on the large estate about one mile from the existing homestead; that the land should be equally divided between the two brothers by a competent surveyor; that no transaction of a business nature should take place on these farms between the two brothers; that the family of | Ohaug should live in one house, while that of Eng should live in the other. And, while the wives occasionally vis? ited each other, it is worth noting that for many years the children did not in? terchange visits, though they met at church or in the village. It was also agreed that Eng should spend three days and three nights with his folks, and that Chang, (who, of course, could not help being present,) Bhould, during that time, remain passive and not in any way in? terfere with the affairs of Eng;then Chang should spend three days and nights at his own honse, Eng being daring that time as mindful of attend? ing strictly to his own business and not that of bis brother, as Chang had been. The provisions were accepted and reli? giously observed by the brothers until death, they alternating every three days in their visits to their family. Indeed, so partioultar wero they in not having business transactions with each other that if, for instance, Eng needed corn for his cattle, and Chang had it for sale, Eng .never once hinted at buying from his brother. And again, as sometimes hap? pened, if one brother received an invita? tion to dinner or tea the other would of course go, but upon leaving would remark to the host i "I will pay my visit to you aUsome future time." Allusion has been made to the cheer? ful disposition of the twins. They were lively and very fond of a joke, and sev? eral might be related did space permit. Two will suffice. On one occasion while driving through the neighborhood in a boggy they were thrown out resulting in one being badly bruised, while the other escaped without a scratch. It then be? came necessary for the injured twin to remain in bed for a week, and, of course, his brother had to do likewise, explain? ing to a friend, who called to see them, tbat he was there to look after his brother and keep off the fites." The other joke occurred on a trip they made from Greensboro to Raleigh. Be? fore starting Eng purchased one ticket; they then boarded the train, and after a while the conductor came around for tickets. Eng handed his up, bat Chang, with a merry twinkle in his eye, re? marked. "I have no ticket and I have no money." Then when the conductor threatened to pat him off, Eng interposed and told him that could not be dose, as he (Eng) had given np his ticket. At this the passengers raised such a laugh that the conductor concluded to pass Chang, whose passage was, however,, soon after properly paid, for in all deal? ings they were strictly honorable. So far as can be learned their lives at home were irreproachable; they were virtuous, temperate, scrupulously honest, sociable, charitable, and while never having*pro? fessed religion, they often attended church; their manners and dress were those of gentlemen, though their educa? tion had been gained almost entirely by travel. They wore naturalized Citizen? and regularly voted the Democratic ticket. When the war ended it found them with forty or fifty slaves, and though these, of coarse, were liberated, they had hidden supplies of gold which car? ried them comfortably through. This fact was well known, and after Stone man's raid through that section the twins were one day surprised by a camp follow? er, who forced himself into their presence and demanded their gold. Upon an im? mediate refusal he threatened to shoot, whereupon they both rose from the chairs on which they wero' seated, and exclaimed, "- you, shoot," and then hustled the fellow out. During their travels the twins accu? mulated much money, and in their ab? sence from home their wives managed their property in an excellent way. Several children were born to each wife, and these all received a first-class edu? cation, and were brought up aB members of the church, principally of the Baptist denomination. All the children, save one deaf and dumb daughter, were healthy and strong, have married, and are counted as some of the best citizens ofthat section of the State, and inherited about $200,000 left them by their fath? ers. The last scene in the history of the twins was as sad as it was remarkable, and without precedent. While with Barnam ia 1573 Chang had Buffered from a light stroke of paralysis, bat after medical treatment and rest had apparent? ly recovered, and Christmas was merrily spent at home. About the 15th or 16th of January, 1874, the twins were over to Eng's house, and after a comfortable supper, followed by their usual pipe, they retired in seeming good health. Early the next morning Eng woke up, and call? ing to his wife, asked her to see what aild Chang, as he could not awaken him. Mrs. Sallie Bunkes very soon discovering that Chang was no more, dispatched a boy on horseback to the village for Dr. Hol? lingsworth. After the messenger had gone Eng complained of feeling numb and cold in his lower extremities, and his family did all they could to reu re the circulation. He rapidly grew colder and within an hour after awakening and before the doctor arrived he joined his brother on the further shore. ?
