Although the brothers are in good health they naturally think a good deal about death and determined some time ago to be interred in metal caskets. Being economical, they hated to think of squandering money on their burial.

A friend of theirs, who has been employed as a copper worker, told them if they would purchase the copper he could have a couple of askets made for them much cheaper than they could be obtained from an undertaker. It was this that brought them here and they purchased the copper They expect the (askets to be ready in a short time. The Messrs. McLean are well known and respected citizens of Hamlet.

Goldsboro Druggists Stirred by its Enforcement. Goldsboro has been seeing lively times lately. The druggists are mad with a prominent doctor there and the doctor is mad with the sheriff of Wayne. The latter, in turn, is trying to do his duty and keep on the good side of every one. Quite a mess, and it was all brought about by the physician, who is also a druggist.

In 1891 a law was passed by the legislature to the effect that nobody who was not a registered pharmacist conld fill prescriptions unless supervised, and that no druggist cond leave his store in charge of any one escept a registered pharmacist. It also prosides that not even a duly registered druggist cal either fill or refill a prescription without the order of a physician. Ever since its passage the law has been practically a dead letter and few prople knew of its existence, The Goldsboro doctor, who is also a druggist. knew it, however, and he saw a way to make a big business "scoop." As it happened all this gentleman's clerks were registered pharmacists. He went to the sheriff and demanded that he enforce the law.

The sheriff, as the matter had been brought to his attention, was bound to comply. The matter was investigated and it was found that every drug store except that of the shrewd doctor had been violating the law. As a consequsnce. some deserving young men were thrown out of e.aployment and two drug stores were compelled to close. Since then things have been waxing hot, the druggists threatening the officious doctor, and he swearing vellgeance on the sheriff for telling who started the racket.

At the term of court he did hare sheriff inthe dieted for neglect of duty but he was acquitted. Death of Mr. Jesse Taylor.

He always applied himself to farming and his attractive home is well known. His funeral will be held at 10:30 tomorrow morning from his late home, and the burial will be in Oakwood cemetery. A Surprised Cyclist. Several evenings ago two gentlemen were riding their bicycles on a certain street which was barricaded account of sickness." As the riders approached the barricade the foremost one turned his head to speak to his companion behind. The next instant the rider's chin was caught by a plank and he was swung off into the air, while his wheel went gayly on.

No damage beyond a few bruises was done, but the gentleman says he hasn't got over his fright yet. A Curious Freak. In the locality known as "Adams alley" in this city' is a little negro boy baby about twelve months old who is suffering from a queer deformity.
