With an eve to removing any doubt that might exist a News' man secured a photograph of the "petrified pheno-menom that visited Charlotte some years ago. made a visit to the petrified gentleman now on exhibition here, and compared notes. The News' man unhesitatingly pronounces the two petrified gentlemen one and the same without equivocation or qualification, unlessthere is this exception that the petrified gentleman here now be the twin-brother of the petrified gentleman who was here some years ago.

There are certain marks upon the supposedly petrified body that are unmistakable and could occur by no coincidence, and the position of the body and hands is identical. The bullet holes in the left shoulder, or at least indentations which are presumed to indicate bullet holes and abrasions in the limbs and body, are the same in the piesent petrified gentleman and in the protograph cf the other petrified gentleman.

In the photograph the teeth of toe petrified gentleman are noticeable, while in the prehistoric monstrosity here the mouth is closed, and it may be observed in passing that it looks to have been daubed over with some black substance, or possibly petrified dirt, which accumulated perhaps in the. mouth of the gentleman during his last period beneath the earth. Now, if the historical editor of The News is correct in his observations, the pet'ified gentleman who was exhibited hre some years ago, it was claimed, was unearthed about a half-mile from the old Saluda mill, just three miles from Columbia. The petrified gentleman now on exhibition here, is said to have been unearthed twenty-three miles from Asheville on the farm of a Mr. Switton.

Now, as a matter for speculation, how happens it that, after being unearthed near Columbia, S.

exhibited around the country and then to lapse into innocuous desuetude, the prehistoric petrified gentleman should be unearthed again, this time, at a point several hundred miles from his original resting place and the sc-ene cf his petrification?

That was shortly after it had been unearthed near Asheville. Later, while passing through Charlotte, this gentleman stopped in the photograph gallery of W. I. Van Ness and Son on Tryon street. While there he told of having seen the petrified gentleman found near Asheville and he was shown a photograph of the petrified gentleman who was found near Columbia and exhibited here some years ago.
