Gov Ay cock has named W’edues- j day, February 25, for the henging of 1 six white men. Such a w o lesal execution in one day being wuuout i precedent iu ibis Slate. There was a collision between a ! freight and mareriul train or Holts- I burg, near Lrxington, lust Friday. A fireman, named Harrison, was se riously injured by jumping. Both engirn-s were bad'y damaged and the track torn up delayed traffic. Mecklenburg farm bands are still leaving for Louisana and Mississippi. A large number from the P:Ovideuce section left last Friday and Saturday. A prominent farmer says that if the present exodus continues, Mecklen burg farmers will be compelled to go to other counties for negro farm help. Several negroes who have gone to Mississippi from that section have written back home that they like the change. This has caused a number to go who otherwise would have re mained at home. The Loray mills at Gastonia are now operating 20,000 spindles and started the first warper Thursday. They expect to have a slasher iu run ning order this week and will begin to weave next vvi ek. All of the ma chinery is running smoothly and everything is in good shape. The scare which developed a couple of weeks ago in regard to the miPs proved to be only the breaking of an iron cap on one of the brick piers; the shafting did not have to be re lined, so small was the settling. Five split caps have been removed and replaced with heavier. The trial of the Amos Owen Cherry Tree men, which was to have come up at Rutherford Wednesday was postponed until February 5ih by re quest of the defendant's attorneys and Mr. Holton’s inability to attend. It was also necesary to continue on account of having the necesary wit nesses present. Amos Owen is a witness against the parties who are inaicted. He says that he only sold a few cherry trees and he only got one cent a tree for what he did sell. Among the witneseses present who were victims of the cherry tree swindle was a young girl who is lame and has to use crutches. Tliat (ialTticy Foiatofllce.

A lire In a pipemaker’s shop tho other day spoiled the proprietor’s stock of meerschaum and Incidentally dis posed of the idea, common In most smokers' minds, that this commodity Is very expensive. Meerschaum Itself is not expensive. That used by the manufacturers in this country Is im ported as raxv material from Austria, but most of It is obtained In Asia Minor. Usually there are three or four different grades, running from the rough and mixed to the pure and finely grained article. There Is no duty upon it The chunks, not unlike cannel coal iu shape, are packed In oblong boxes, about tivo feet and a half long, a foot wide and a foot high. The raw material Is quite brittle and has to be soaked iu water before It Is used for modeling. Meerschaum pipes are expensive be cause much of the material from which the bowls are made has to be thrown away before a piece Is found that has no flaws lu it. The shavings, however, are never wasted. They are used to make a cheaper grade of pipes which are knowu as chip meerschaums.—New York Dost Control Y’onr Temper. There are three reasons why one ought to control his temper, aud the first is self respect. When one loses command of himself and throws the reins upon the neck of passion, he may have for the moment a certain enjoy ment in the license, but th tc must surely come a reaction of regret. When he is calm again and the tit has passed away, every serious person must be ashamed of what he said and what he did. of the manner in which he gave himself away and the exhibi tion he made of himself, lie will re call the amazement on the faces of his friends and the silence which they adopted as a protective measure and the soothing language which they used, as if they were speaking with a baby, and the glances which passed between them. He will not soon hold again with them as strong as he did before this outburst, nor will he have the same claim upon their confidence as a sound and clear headed man. He has acted like a fretful, peevish child rad has for the time forfeited his title to manhood and the place of a man. A Little Xlnld'a IteaMon/nu.
