? Capt. E. A. Crawford died at
Yorkville Sunday morning, after
an illness of several months.
The funeral and burial took place
Monday at Yorkville and was
largely attended. Captain Crawford
was 77 years of age, having
been born July 3, 1830. He was
a gallant soldier of the Confederacy,
having been captain of Co.
K 17th South Carolina Regiment.
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

of the immigrants are from Italy,
Some from Germany and some
from Sweden. The brick company,
we are informed, is highly
pleased with the work of the
foreigners, but in the past has
been unable to keep them at the
plant for a longer time than a
few weeks. It is said that of
the first batch? of immigrants secured,
there are now less than
half a dozen with the company.

the veterans. A special invitation
will be sen to General Stephen
D. Lee, the ranking surviving
Confederate soldier and a native

(lodging, during the encampment.
It is stated that board can be hrd

about $7.50 for each man for the
encampment. If the trip is tak( n
it will probably be made early in 1
July.

' last Wednesday upon the charge
of having attempted to fire the
barn of Mr. S. M. Garrison in.
Steele Creek, were given a hearing
Wednesday and in default of
bond were committed to Mecklenburg
jail. Very little evidence
of an incriminating nature was
brought out to connect the negroes
with the recent barn burnings
and it is probable that they
will be indicted only fortrespass.
?According to announcement,
the local camp of Confederate
veterans met Saturday afternoon
to arrange for the observance of
Memorial day, May 10th. It was
agreed that the the members
would co-operate with the Daug! ters

brought out in the trial that,
Stinson, while on his return to j

More Pay for Rural Carriers.
Postmaster General Meyer has
approved the detailed adjustment
of salaries of rural free delivery
carriers, as submitted by Assist^
ant Postmaster General DeGraw,
and the schedule, which will become
effective July 1, next, will
make a graded increase in the
compensation of carriers of from
, 9 to 25 per cent, based upon the
number of miles traversed by
carriers as shown by the records
of the department. The readjustment
adopted with the increase
of upwards of $00,000,000
? made in the appropriation by
congress, will involve an aggre.
gate expenditure for rural serj
vice during the next fiscal year
' of nearly $35,000,000.

Good, two negroes whose testimony
was depended upon by the
State in the trial of Jim Bryant
tried in Yorkville last week on
the charge of arson, burning the
barn of Mr. Luther Whitesides
near Hickory Grove, have been
indicted by Solicitor Henry for
prejury. 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. Both the
negroes are now in jail awaiting
trial at the next term of court.
Bryant and the two regroes who
were to testify against him in the
trial were, it is said, free to
mingle with each other in the
jail and they had their story all
made up before the trial came
