The coroner empaneled a jury, who hearing the testimony of the attending physician and the one and only witness, declar ed he came to his death by his own hand. As to whether or not it was an accident there is difference of opinion. He was the youngest son of Mr. W. H.

Governor Glenn has pardoned condi tionally, two 16-year-old boys, Arthur Bryant and Elmore Woodard of Wil son county, sentenced to two years on the road gang for larceny. Work on the extension of the Ral eigh & Southport railway from Lill- ington is progressing so rapidly that the grading force is now in seven miles of Fayetteville. TracK-laying begins this week. Completion is ex pected about March 1. F. L. Cutting, a lumberman of Ashe ville returned to that city Saturday afternoon from a trip over the South & Western road. He said that no one was killed or injured by the dyna mite explosion on'the construction of the South & Western Friday. The five tons of dynamite which exploded had been stored on the mountain side. The cause of the explosion is unknown. Mr. Cutting and a party of friends passed two wagon loads of the j dynamite Thursday. The body of Hawkins Patterson was found Tuesday on King’s Point, near Hatteras, where it had been washed up by the terrific storm which swept over that section that day and in which he met his death. On the beach, about half a mile further down, was found the wreck of a small boat In which he was making for his home, some distance west of Hat teras. Patterson, colored, escaped from the chain gang at Elizabeth City several weeks ago. In' affirming the decision of the low er court in the Knapp Horner case, convicted in the Orange county Su perior Court for murder in the second degree, the Supreme Court has ren dered an opinion that will send Hornor, who is now over 60 years of age, to the penitentiary for 12 years. Horner is now in jail at Durham, where he has spent all of his time, with the ex ception of the week when he was tried, since the killing of Deputy Sheriff Nichols, of Orange. It is sup posed that he will be carried to Ra leigh and turned over to the peniten tiary authorities this week. Deputy Collector J. Will Jones created a sensation in the trial of the Old Nick Williams case in Greensboro Thursday by stating that N. Glenn Williams, one of the defendants, had offered him a bribe equivalent to five or six thousand dollars a year. He detailed a conversation in which he alleges that Williams offered him five cents per gallon on the whiskey sold If he would allow him to refill the stamped barrels and not report It to the officials. J. W. Somers, another witness for the government, testified that Williams had also offered him a bribe. Several witnesses were Intro duced to testify in regard to the char acter of Jones and a number of amus ing situations developed in the exai. 1- •nation of thesj witnesses. A message from Gold Hill Saturday afternoon said a forest fire had brok en out in the surrounding ountry and had done incalculable harm to sa> nothing of the injury its unchecked ourse would continue to do. At 4 o’clock Saturday afternoon, the fire had not been Impeded 'and was then burning a swath nearly a mile wide. Thousands of acres of land have been swept. Gold Hill people do not know bow it started. The conflagration had not reached any buildings and it was thought the damage would extend only to the forests which were very finely timbered. There was also an outbreak In the sedge fields near Salisbury and so near did it come to the destruction of Mr. W. A. Sells’ house that the fire company was call ed out to stop it In a private telephone message re- eived at Spencer from Marlon, by way of Asheville, it was reported that 15 people were killed near there Friday night by the explosion of a powder magazine located just outside of the town. The shock qf the explosion was so great that It was felt at Morgan- ton 21 miles away. The report has not been confirmed. The scene of the explosion is remote from the tele- praph. All telephone and telegraph offices along the line between Spen cer and Asheville were closed for the night and it was impossible to con firm the report. The explosion is'said to have occurred at Spruce Pine, a small settlement in Mitchell county. It is the terminal of the South and West railroad which Is under con struction and there Is considerable building work In that vicinity. There are varying reports, the stories placing the number killed anywhere from 7 to 17. \ —Buy your Oysters irom C. C.

The people are too busy at work to get off thfe track of right living. Jonesville is very much like a be* hive in flowering time; work for every body and everybody at work, all the way from darning a pair of stockings to building a house. Loads of hosiery are distributed among the people to be darned and returned to the mill for finishing and boxing, giving pay ing employment to the women who care to earn good wages. Several stores and dwellings are in course of construction at the present time; and more to be built soon. This town feels a lively interest in your place, many of us formerly be ing citizens of Gaffney and Cher okee county; and we would like very much to get closer to you by opening a shorter road from here to Gaffney— w’ard of one hundred dollars for the apprehension of the gang who fired into Wash Lipscomb’s dwelling house some time ago, and committed other depredations around his home.

Many of your older I have looked over a part of the road, as far as the river, and with bul little work a good public highway can be built. While out I passed near the place where the remains of the Rev. Elias Mitchell were laid to rest In 1834. I felt like pulling off my shoes as I came near the graves of himself and wife in a thicket of bushes about four miles north of this place.

Ross, which he himself occupied. A quanti ty of furniture and household goods were destroyed during the fire. Workmen are now at work prepar ing the sectipn of Frederick street near W. J. Wilkins’ store for the cementing that Mr. A. N. Wood will have done. When completed the work will greatly improve the appear ance of the sidewalk, as well as en hance the value of the surrounding property. Garfield Ross, a negro, was arrest ed Saturday by Deputy Sheriff Chas. Durham and placed In jal in this city, charged with attempting a criminal assault upon the person of a negro girl about fourteen years of age. The preliminary hearing in his case was set for yesterday afternoon before Magistrate C. T. Bridges. Ross was formerly before Magistrate Bridges on the charge of kidnapping but was dismissed. Only two offenders were before the mayor yesterday morning Wilse Montgomery was arraigned on the charge of disorderly conduct, and was fined five dollars. JimChilders was up on the charge of a plain drunk. Childers had imbibed too much of the "chemically pure” Saturday afternoon and was locked up. As there was no charge of disorderly conduct attached to the drunk and he had remained in the lock-up over a day. the mayor was was not hard on him.

Could his life history, with his ser mons, be given to the people, it would be a trueasure of good things. His and his wife’s graves are marked with stones with unusual epitaphs on them, which I will give in another letter be fore long, as to give them now would make this letter too long. I will say, however, that as he wished, he died In the pulpit, having gone to Chester district to preach a funeral In the seventy-fifth year of his age, Norsm- ber 30th, 1834. T. M. L. A Heart of Gold. (Kershaw Era.) On last Wednesday a man lost his life in the effort to save the life of a dog. He was just a plain man in the humble walk of life—a section hand on the railroad—but within him he had a heart of gold. He saw the life of the dog in danger; It was about to be run over by a train. His tender regard for that dearest of all treas ures, life, would not allow him to re main Inactive when it was imperiled, even though it was only the life of a dog that was thus endangered. A fool, some will call him, hut he was not a fool. He was a tender-hearted, sympathetic man, . with the Instincts of a hero, ready at any moment to risk his life in the effort to save life. How different such a noble spirit from * the murderous-hearted! That which goes about prepared to take even a human life on the slightest pretext or provocation. —It’s time for cough cures.
