F. Hughes was drowned near a Eddy Lake and the remains were tl interred on Monday at the burying ti ground of the family on Pee Dee. [\ He was on a boat used by John H. vv McCaskill in taking up logs for the o Eddy Lake Cypress Co. In walking h across a lloat attached to the boat y he stepped over the edge and called tl for help. Mr McCaskill told him to swim to some bushes and hold on ^ until he could come around on the j* bank and help him. When he reach- n ed the place Sam had disappeared ? and was nut seen again until his ^ dead body was taken from the water. d Earlier on the same nay Augustus u Cook, captain of the "Tom T." a tug w boat used on the Sautee for towing p logs, was chasing a negro around the cabin with an axe. Both of t them fell in. The negro was saved t while the white man was drowned.

Grey Eyes. j A Pleasure Trip. t The crowds that have been #oin^ over to the beach for the last two ' Sunday's were as orderly and de- ^ corous both on the train and at the ^ beach as any one could desire. On ( both occassions there was very little r drinking and they were conspicious * for the absence of fussing and a fighting Those occasions seem to be a more like a love feast than anything c else Everybody seemed bent on f haviny a jolly tfood time and mak- c intr m;prvhfwiv hntrn tlm oo.vw.

Tiast Sunday there were six coaches c and these uncomfortably crowded yet the crowd kept their temper and took things easy easy. Most of the excursionists comes from above Conway as high up a9 Chadbourn, Comparatively few went 1 over from Conway. So far the run- J ning of these trains have been ven urative to the railroad and very en- c joyable to the people.

Reaves at a Tenant House on Ills Plat e and Safely l.odk?'?I In tlie .lail at Conway. ,, The negro, Melvin Watson, who * shot and killed Mr John Watson at s Green Sea on June 2nd, was safely u lodged in jail last Sunday morning 0 about 8 o'clock. Searching parties ^ had been scouring the country ever c since the (lav of the killing, making y every elTort to capture the negro, fWord reached the neighborhood that v he had been seen near Whiteville, N. v C., and other points, and the tele - c phone and telegraph lines were kept r bus}' trying to locato him. The process of catching him was slow, but hope was by no means abandoned . Last Saturday night about dusk * a tenant living on the farm of C. * M. Reaves, near Green Sea, called on Mr Reaves at his home and told him that the negro, Melvin Watson was then at his (tho tenants) houso. Mr Reaves took a shot gun and went ^ to the tenant's house and covered the negro with his gun before he discovered that Mr Reaves was \ about the place. When Melvin Wat- ^ j son found himself looking down the j barrel of a gun he was frightened almost to death, and begged pitifully for his life, making no resistance whatever. Mr Reaves tied him, took him in his buggy and j brought him to jail at the hour slat- ^ j ed. The negro who gave him up to Mr | Heaves is a relative of Melvin Watson and whether his action was prompted by his sense of justice or a feeling of fear yet it deserved credit. Mr Reaves will got the sum of $150.00 for the capture of the mur- 0 eierer, $100 of which will be paid by the Governor of the State upon the negro's conviction, and $50 which will be paid by the family of the murdered man. It is said that if the negro had been caught by the crowd who was hunting him, he would have been lynched. As ho is now in jail the law will be allowed to take its course. The negro has a very sullen demeanor, and by his appear- s ance shows that he is a brute of the | lowest and meanest kind, fie talks very little about the affair, except e to say that he did not mean to kill Mr Watson, and that the gun went e oil before he aimed it. lie claims that he was near Green Sea all of r the time except one day when he t went to a lumber mill near White- t ville, N C.

Oh! it is surprises to see some our young boys and (iris who claim to know God and hen see them go or that train and ireak God's Sabbath day. Boys iod is looking at you. It seems iko some of the boys and girls as veil as some of the older heads are rying to hold the world in one land and the church in the other. *Iow, if you think you can get to icaven living that life you are misaken. For God says straight and larrow is the way; and the very ?est we can do it is hard to keep m the right road. I think every Baptist church hould look after every member who ;oes on the Sunday train for they ad just as well go to a dance. Vhen the boys ask you to go with hem on the train to the beach you ell them if they want to go with ou anywhere to go to Sunday ehool or preaching. I had as oon ask a young lady to go with ne to a card room or a dance room ,s to go with me on the Sunday rain.
