Mr. J. T. Darnell, who was a
patient at the Presbyterian Hospital,
Charlotte, has returned
to his home east of town, and
while much improved, still has a
very sore eye.
Mrs. Susan Richardson, an
aged .lady, di^d Monday night

In the case of the State vs.
J. M. Gamble, charged with the ^
jiiurder of F. N. Edwards, which I I
was called at "Xjeffkyille Tuesday, JL "
the defendant wSs acquitted.
case went befor? the grand I
jury, who returned* a true bill,
but when several witnesses had
been examined it was found that
the killing was purely in selfdefence,
and to save the time and
expense of the trial, the prisoner
was released
Mr. J. S. McKibben, an employe
6f the Millfort Mill, undoubtedly
holds the championship
of this section for weaving.
. during the two weeks ending
Saturday last, Mr. McKibben
established a record, which in
ill probability will not be broken
For some time, by producing from
12looms 163 cuts (bolts) of cloth.
For*the two weeks prior to this?
fchat'ending March 31?he succeeded
in taking from the same
number of looms 147 1-4 cuts.
The scale of wages at the mill is
30 eenls per cut, and, with a
little figuring, it will be seen that
Mr. McKibben has mado in t.hp
past 24 days $62.05, or an average
ofi about $2.60 per day. This is
ail excellent record.
Chester Again Victimized by Fakir.
n response to a query from an 1
iifcividual in this city, says the j
CMester Lantern, the Curtis1
Publishing Company, of PhiladMphia,
have written that they
Klow nothing whate ver about!
t? young man who was in this
c?v a few weeks ago soliciting
sAscriptions for the Saturday
Elening Post and several other
pAiodicals. The man is without
dcmbt an impostor, and the.Curtis
PAlishing Co. do not hesitate
ablut proclaiming him as such.
Th^y furthermore offer a reward
of twenty-five dollars for his
arrest with proof to convict.
It seems from what the Yorkville
Enquirer says that this same
young man has visited Yorkville
and defrauded many citizens.
He is doubtless still at work at
no great distance, for this game
is a fruitful one, and some one
who reads this notice may have an
opportunity to effect his arrest.

Officer L. H. Finney, of Erie, Pa,

or three years ago?the tale don't tell
