He was well known* throughout this section of the State and the announcement of his death was the cause of deep sorrov. to his many friends. ? Barn burning a la marbles is said to be the method by which the Steele Creek negroes pick out the man to whom an arson crime is to be entrusted. This is a story heard by a citizen of Bjrryhill township and related by him to a Charlotte News man. The story goes that in the set of round balls, there is one large, distinctive marble that is a symbol of destiny. If in the course of the game, that marble is hit, the man or boy who did the shooting must burn a barn. It is left to him whose barn it shall be. ?A party'of 11 foreigners, secured through a New York employment bureau, arrived Friday and were at once taken to the works of the Charlotte Brick company at Grattan, where they were given employment.

It is said that of the first batch? of immigrants secured, there are now less than half a dozen with the company. to deliver the annual address to the veterans. A special invitation will be sen to General Stephen D. Lee, the ranking surviving Confederate soldier and a native i of South Carolina.

They swore to entirely different stories at the trial to those told at two preliminaries held just after the burning and before the capture of Bryant, and as a result, the alleged barn burner went free.
