Mr. William L. Blackmon, an
aged and venerable citizen, died

2 o'clock at the home of his son,
Mr. S. T. Blackmon on Dunlap

October and had not been able
to be out much, if any, for two or
three months. Mr. Blackmon was
born in the Flat creek section o.

At the age of twenty he professed
faith in the Saviour and
united himself with the Fork Hill

3ver, on the wrong tide of any
juestion that he had to deal with.

citizen, and his example

The New Engineer.
Friday morning last several of
the neighbors in the vicinity of
the Faetory were aroused from
their peaceful slumbers, by an
unusual noise, and as a report
had been circulated that safe
crackers were going the rounds,
it was thought that perhaps the
gang had struck Factory Hill.
This fear was aleviated when a
closer investigation was made,
and all rejoiced with the father,
Mr. D. I'. Hardin, of a now engineer.
It is claimed by some
who was first to arrive upon the
scene, that he was walking up and
down the street hollowing, "A
new engineer! A new engineer !!"
It is a boy.

In a case recently tried in Chicago
a man had borrowed $225 of
a loan coucern and had paid back
$300, ouly to find that he still
owed $221.50. The interest rate
was $15 to $50 for three mouths.
The borrower paid $10 a week
and renewed his notes whenever
the time limit had exDired. An
interest was compounded he
found the principal growing
larger, and soon concluded that
it wa? useless try to keep up with
the iigures of the rapacious loan
shark, and he accordingly defaulted
on further payments after hav
tug paid $300. The Judge ruled
that the various assignments of
wages made by the plaintiff in
favor of the loan concern were of
no force or effect, that his indebtedness
had been fully dis
charged, and the usurers were
ordered to cancel all notes held
by them against the plaintiff, and

THE HORRIBLE CHIME ,
OF "PREACHER" JONES.
With Axoand Torch He Commits
Five Murders, Mother and
Three Small Children.
Iialeigh, N. U., March 22.?The
most horrible crime in the uistory
oi North Carolina was perpetrated
early this morning at Cramers,
tire miles east of this city, when
a negro, Tom Jones commonly
known in the county as "Preacher"
Jones, murdered Ella Joues
nd her oldest daughter, Ida
Joues, and then set hre to the
beds iu which lay the bodies of
the murdered victims aud lour
others, all children, rauging- in
years from a baby oue month old
to the largest boy who was not
more thau live years of age. The
work was done with an axe, the
murderer, according to the story
of little seven-year-old Laura
Jones, who escaped with her
youuger sister, deliberately and
coolly striking the mother four
limes aud thou making two heavy
strokes into the body of the oldest
child.
The house was completely destroyed
by lire ami the bodies of
the four youngest children were
so frail that they are uww di&triJtLuted
among the ashes, which
alone remain to tell the story of
the coiitl igratiou. The body of
Ella Jones and that of Ida, the

od the ground charred crisp and
with the whole bodies cut open
and displayed to view.
When those who heard the
story of the murder from the lips
of the little ragged negro went to
J ones'house to arrest him they
found that his clothes bore the
stains of fresh blood and his
hands even showed Rpots of hu
man blood.
Though there was talk arnoj^
the negroes of lynching, no attempt
was made to do so and
Jones was brought to this city
arid placed in jail to await trial
for his crime.
The two children, having no
relatives, were taken to the county
home to he cared for.
Jones was arrested on the evi
dence of the seven year old pirl,
Laura, who escaped from the
burning house after he had gone
She took with her, in her arms,
her little sister, Sid, who wae
sleeping in bed with her and an
elder sister, Ida, who was mur

They went to the house of a
neighbor, half a mile aj \v and
told what had happened. Those
who went to the fi ? could see

it was too late to rescue them
Today the charred remains of the
two murdered women were taken
out and buried. The four small
children, except the baby clasped
in its mother's arms had been en
tirely consumed.
The child Laura is very bright
for her age, and though she told
the sforv of the murder many
limes todav she never varied from
her account of it given last night
while her home was burni <g. She
said :
