STORMY IN SOUTH CARO- <lb/>
LINA. <lb/>
There is a prospect of stormy <lb/>
times in South Carolina. The <lb/>
Governor has issued a <lb/>
from which we make <lb/>
the following extracts. It <lb/>
sounds like war times <lb/>
people of South Caro- <lb/>
have always been law <lb/>
and respect the constitution <lb/>
and courts of the United <lb/>
but when the judges of these <lb/>
courts wantonly invade and <lb/>
trample foot the <lb/>
rights of our people <lb/>
by the Federal <lb/>
have a right to assert <lb/>
themselves and maintain their <lb/>
sovereignty and independence. <lb/>
This they have ever done and <lb/>
will continue to do, and will re <lb/>
with all the means within <lb/>
their power, usurpation and <lb/>
tyranny of partisan politicians <lb/>
in high places, who disgrace <lb/>
the judicial ermine. We can <lb/>
not, nor have we the desire to <lb/>
resort to arms to resist his u n- <lb/>
just decree, but we can and will <lb/>
expect the united effort of lib- <lb/>
people to thwart <lb/>
the conspirators who are plot- <lb/>
ting the overthrow our of <lb/>
In this struggle we con- <lb/>
rely on the sympathies <lb/>
and moral support of lovers of <lb/>
good government and State's <lb/>
rights throughout the Union. <lb/>
The sovereignty of the States, <lb/>
within their proper spheres, is <lb/>
as dear to Massachusetts <lb/>
Ohio as it is in South Carolina, <lb/>
and principle cannot be <lb/>
struck down here without <lb/>
a mortal blow else <lb/>
where- <lb/>
is unfortunate that the <lb/>
passions and prejudices excited <lb/>
by the war in regard to the <lb/>
should influence the <lb/>
ion and feelings Of judges in <lb/>
dealing with this vital <lb/>
but it will follow <lb/>
that if this i <lb/>

will be convulsed with a, <lb/>

liberties of white men will <lb/>
far eclipse that other fatal <lb/>
struggle for the emancipation <lb/>

TRACING TYPHOID FEVER. <lb/>
Interesting results have attend- <lb/>
ed the investigation of a typhoid <lb/>
fever epidemic at , <lb/>
where there are cases. It has <lb/>
been shown that the germs of the <lb/>
disease were distributed with the <lb/>
milk sold by one dealer- At <lb/>
the beginning of the investigation <lb/>
it was ascertained that the ca <lb/>
were in houses on this deal- <lb/>
milk route. He procured from <lb/>
several farmers the milk which he <lb/>
sold, but, as these farmers sold <lb/>
milk to other persons who had <lb/>
not been attacked by typhoid; it <lb/>
was inferred that the milk had <lb/>
become infested after it passed <lb/>
into his possession. <lb/>
analysis has that the <lb/>
water, taken a well his <lb/>
premises, with which it was his <lb/>
custom to wash his milk cans, is <lb/>
very seriously polluted, that <lb/>
the water cf several other wells <lb/>
the neighborhood of his <lb/>
are a dangerous condition. A <lb/>
typhoid fever epidemic at <lb/>
N. J., a year ago, was <lb/>
to a milk dealer, as it were also <lb/>
a similar epidemic at <lb/>
three or four years <lb/>
and one at <lb/>
recently ; and this connection <lb/>

Sam Beau, HI Charlotte Observer. <lb/>

The credit of the State ranks <lb/>

neath the chair; his boots wore <lb/>
in the hallway, his coat was on <lb/>
the stair, ilia trousers in the <lb/>
kitchen, bis collar on the shelf, <lb/>
he hadn't any notion where <lb/>
he was himself- When the morn <lb/>
was breaking, some one heard <lb/>
him call; his head was in the ice- <lb/>
box and that was best of all. <lb/>

being made for the unveiling of <lb/>

FIRE AND ROBBERY. <lb/>
Fiends Again at Work in <lb/>
Dwelling Burned, Store and Depot <lb/>
Broken <lb/>
to <lb/>
N. <lb/>
other fire occurred here this <lb/>
and o'clock- It <lb/>
was discovered in the residence <lb/>
of Mr. Irvin Whitehurst and the <lb/>
building was burned down. In- <lb/>
t 1,200, which was <lb/>
about less the loss. <lb/>
While the fire was progress <lb/>
the store of T. A- Beasley and the <lb/>
A N. C- Depot re both <lb/>
en into. The parties who broke <lb/>
into the depot took the ticket case <lb/>
carried it to the edge of town <lb/>
where they tore many of the tick- <lb/>
up and scattered the others <lb/>
around promiscuously- They also <lb/>
broke open the desk and secured <lb/>
about worth of freight re- <lb/>
Can't miss any goods from <lb/>
the depot. The thieves were <lb/>
in search of money, as <lb/>
they also emptied the drawers in <lb/>
which the Western Union <lb/>
grams were kept- Only about <lb/>
in money was obtained. The tel- <lb/>
were scattered all over the <lb/>
building- <lb/>
The party who broke in T. A. <lb/>
store is a colored man <lb/>
named Bob Graham, who is now <lb/>
under arrest. Those who broke <lb/>
in the depot have not yet been <lb/>
discovered- <lb/>
The supposition is that the <lb/>
Whitehurst residence was set on <lb/>
fire to attract people to that <lb/>
of the town while the robber- <lb/>
were being perpetrated. <lb/>
THE, <lb/>
I have the girls a plenty, <lb/>
Aged fr. one year old t j twenty. <lb/>
Kiss better fr than honey. I can t <lb/>
their sweetness yet. <lb/>
Hut far dearer than the kisses <lb/>
Given me by kindly misses. <lb/>
Is the ever verdant of a kiss I <lb/>
did not get. <lb/>
For one winsome little fairy, <lb/>
so light and airy, <lb/>
fondly achieve <lb/>
my purpose <lb/>
But at length she slyly vanished <lb/>
With the gift for which famished. <lb/>
And she left roe sadly sighing for the <lb/>
kiss did not get. <lb/>
Reader, pardon this digression- <lb/>
Does pursuit or does possession <lb/>
The greater pleasure bring really <lb/>
cannot say, and yet, <lb/>
forgotten many misses <lb/>
Who bestowed on me their kisses . <lb/>
Hilt always recollect the girl whose <lb/>
kiss I did not get. <lb/>
Now. of course there is a moral <lb/>
In this simple story, for all <lb/>
Those indiscreet young ladies, who will <lb/>
sometimes much regret <lb/>
That they gave their kisses freely, <lb/>
For they'll find a lover really <lb/>
May more than all th; rest <lb/>
the kiss he did not get. <lb/>
There's No Mystery <lb/>
About It. <lb/>
The truth is I am doing a rushing May <lb/>
Lively scenes about the store. People <lb/>
appreciate my superb styles and low prices. <lb/>

Sunday School Convention. <lb/>
Tho County Sunday School <lb/>
Convention has bet-u called, as <lb/>
has been seen, to meet at Ayden <lb/>
tho second Saturday and <lb/>
day in June. We desire that <lb/>
every Sunday-school <lb/>
be represented this meet- <lb/>
by at least one delegate who <lb/>
De present- If there is a <lb/>
school in the which will <lb/>
not be present in the of a <lb/>
delegate we ask you to send the <lb/>
statistics of your school at once <lb/>
to D. D Haskett, <lb/>
Greenville. We are anxious to <lb/>
get correct statistics of the entire <lb/>
county. One other thing J desire <lb/>
to call the attention of the school <lb/>
to, and it is this. Two years ago <lb/>
the delegates from this county to <lb/>
State Convention pledged ten <lb/>
dollars from this county. This <lb/>
was not paid at the last <lb/>
It must be paid at the next <lb/>
not every Sunday-school <lb/>
Superintendent in the county give <lb/>
his school one opportunity be- <lb/>
tween now and the second <lb/>
day in to help pay this I <lb/>
He sure and do this and send the <lb/>
amount you raise to the <lb/>
at Ayden. We believe that <lb/>
the schools of the county will pay <lb/>
this which your delegates <lb/>
pledged. don't neglect this <lb/>
matter. Let all of us take an in- <lb/>
in the meeting at Ayden <lb/>
and we can make it accomplish <lb/>
much for the Sunday-school cause <lb/>
in Pitt county. Remember that <lb/>
it is with the schools whether the <lb/>
meeting shall be one of profit or <lb/>
not- W. H. Pros. <lb/>

Thursday afternoon a <lb/>

section of Lenoir County between <lb/>

was worse nearer to Kinston and <lb/>

Dr. C- M. Jones, of Grimes- <lb/>

tobacco barns are going up in <lb/>
that section. On the road from <lb/>
Grimesland to Greenville he <lb/>

four miles and says they are <lb/>
most as thick over the rest of the <lb/>

is thrown at them they snap at it <lb/>
savagely. There are very <lb/>
large ones in the <lb/>
The Meeting. <lb/>
The largest congregation so far <lb/>
during the meeting was at the <lb/>
Methodist church Sunday night <lb/>
to hear Rev- R. J. He <lb/>
used as a text the prayer of the <lb/>
Savior for His murderers who had <lb/>
just placed Him on the cross, <lb/>
forgive them, for they <lb/>
not what they <lb/>
was fully up to the other excellent <lb/>
ones he has delivered here- A <lb/>
brief after-service was held at the <lb/>
close of the sermon. <lb/>

Dr. was <lb/>
Va., before going to Wash <lb/>

a young man. Mr. Kasey, was <lb/>
struck by lightning while riding <lb/>
his bicycle- Mr. Kasey was out <lb/>
for a ride and seeing a small cloud <lb/>
coming up, he was hurrying home <lb/>
on his wheel when he was struck <lb/>
and instantly killed. This is the <lb/>
first case of this kind on record. <lb/>
It is dangerous to ride a bicycle <lb/>
during a thunder storm as the <lb/>
steel of the wheel and the friction <lb/>
that is made in riding fast <lb/>

A family living out in the suburbs <lb/>
thinks It possesses the smartest cat <lb/>
in the country. The father of the <lb/>
family, after long hours of office <lb/>
work, has the habit when he gets <lb/>
home In the evening of walking the <lb/>
floor for exercise. As soon as he be- <lb/>
gins his walk falls <lb/>
Into line behind him, and, with head <lb/>
erect and tall waving in graceful <lb/>
curves, marches up and down and <lb/>
back and forth through the room, <lb/>
only varying tho proceedings once <lb/>
In awhile by rolling over on her <lb/>
back as the man runs round and <lb/>
plays with her with his foot. When <lb/>
the walk is over and Mug- <lb/>
sees hex master start for his <lb/>

before he can get there, and, with a <lb/>
countenance that speaks as plainly <lb/>

and occasionally she will <lb/>
catch a great big rat out in the barn. <lb/>
Of this feat is always very <lb/>
proud, and invariably brings the rat, <lb/>
after it is dead, to the house, <lb/>
where every member of the family <lb/>
must see It, and and pot her <lb/>
for being such a good, The <lb/>
first time this occurred one of the <lb/>
members of the family took the rat <lb/>
on a shovel and threw It over the <lb/>
bock fence, but a very few min- <lb/>
had it back <lb/>
again; again and again was it thrown <lb/>
away, but every time it was brought <lb/>
back. At last tho two compromised <lb/>
matters by allowing the rat to re- <lb/>
main just outside the back door by <lb/>
the side of the step. There it stayed <lb/>
all day until evening, when it was <lb/>
found out why ob- <lb/>

Tho father had been home only <lb/>
a few minutes when Mug- <lb/>
walked proudly into the sit- <lb/>
ting-room with her head aloft and <lb/>
the big rat her mouth. <lb/>
She went up to the man and laid the <lb/>
rat at his feet, looked up in his face <lb/>
and waited to be caressed and <lb/>
praised. After she received the de- <lb/>
sired attention allowed the rat <lb/>
to be carried away and eared <lb/>
more about it. <lb/>
Now the rats that caught are <lb/>

Inferior Article Made. <lb/>
Within tho memory of men now <lb/>
living, the manufacture of axes was <lb/>
quite generally on by <lb/>
try blacksmiths, who employed the <lb/>
time when regular work was dull in <lb/>
making axes to sell customers, says <lb/>
Hardware. A good tool was re- <lb/>
quired to stand in hard and frosted <lb/>
timber, and not every blacksmith <lb/>
was able to do the work. Those who <lb/>
possessed the most skill found <lb/>
demand for their increasing, <lb/>
and m It about that <lb/>
work of lie shop <lb/>
by an occasional wielder of <lb/>
hammer, who devoted his <lb/>
largely to production of his ape. <lb/>
lie found that the <lb/>
mountain hard by the old <lb/>
shop could be harnessed by means of <lb/>
an wheel, to drive a trip <lb/>
hammer to lessen his outlay of phys- <lb/>
force and to Increase Us output, <lb/>
and thus by degrees the modern <lb/>
shop was elaborated. <lb/>
Until the power hammer came into <lb/>
use tho ax was formed <lb/>
punching a small hole through a bar <lb/>
of Iron, and then gradually <lb/>
to form the eye of the ax, or the bar <lb/>
of Iron was hammered thin in two <lb/>
places, after which it was folded to- <lb/>
so as to bring these cavities <lb/>
opposite each other to form tho eye. <lb/>
In either case, as soon as the eye <lb/>
was formed, the cast steel was <lb/>
welded on to form the bit or cutting <lb/>
part of the ax, and the blades and <lb/>
head were given their respective <lb/>
shapes, to conform to the customer's <lb/>
design, according to the workman's <lb/>
ability. <lb/>
It being difficult to punch a hole <lb/>
straight through a thin, wide bar of <lb/>
Iron, that method of forming the eye <lb/>
was not greatly used, and was alto- <lb/>
abandoned as power hammers <lb/>
into use and all axes were <lb/>
under the hammer. A few <lb/>
small shops continue to make axes <lb/>
after this manner, but all <lb/>
of Importance now form <lb/>
eye either by the use of rolls or by <lb/>
means of Tin; punch seems <lb/>
to be growing in favor among man- <lb/>
but each method its <lb/>
worm supporters. <lb/>
In early times no attention was <lb/>
paid to finish. Tho one great aim <lb/>
was to produce an ax which would <lb/>
neither break nor bend when thin <lb/>
enough to chop easily. Clearly then, <lb/>
as now, the best maker of axes was <lb/>
the one who could bring about this <lb/>
result; but strife among <lb/>
to secure trade, and the <lb/>
of buyers to get nicely-finished <lb/>
goods, has gradually led to tho pro- <lb/>
of tools which are beautiful <lb/>
and sometimes good. It is not to <lb/>
Implied that beauty of finish <lb/>
implies inferiority of quality. <lb/>
On the contrary, some makers study <lb/>
to combine in a high degree both <lb/>
quality and finish; but the decided <lb/>
tendency of tho trade been of <lb/>
late to please the eye, and at the <lb/>
same lime produce something so <lb/>
cheaply that, If dealers could de- <lb/>
would enable the deceiver to <lb/>
book large orders. <lb/>
So marked has been the decline in <lb/>
prices at which axes have been sold <lb/>
during tho past decade that the <lb/>
cause be sought, In part, out- <lb/>
side of the fact that materials arc <lb/>
cheaper and that labor-saving ma- <lb/>
lessens cost of production. <lb/>
Often cheaper and unsuitable ma- <lb/>
arc used, and machine <lb/>
of manufacture are adopted, <lb/>
which not warranted, some even <lb/>
going so to make entirely <lb/>
of soft give them a nice finish <lb/>
and sell them to those who have <lb/>
axes very cheap. <lb/>
