Mecklenburg' Two Presidents. A writer in Sunday's Richmond Dispatch says: Charles City county, in this State, can boast of being the oirthplace of two Presidents of the United States, It is quite certain that no other couuty in this or any State can lay claim to a similar distinction. In 1940. when the national Whig convention met, they placed before the people of the couuty the names of William Henry Harrison, of Ohio, and John Tyler, of Virginia, as their candidates for President and Vice-President, respectively. This was done doubtless to satisfy the demands of the two great sections of the country (the East and the est) for recognition.

But, in so doing, the convention innocently brought abont one of the most re markable coincidents in the history of the couutry; fur Piesideut llarri son, while actually at that time a citizen of Ohio, was born and reared in the county of Charles almost in sight of the birthplace of John Thus it came about that that county gahied the proud distinction of furnishing to the people Of these United States two Presidents. Mecklenburg comity also claims the distinction of being the birthplace of two Andrew Jackson and James K. Poik. That they were born, in this county is well authenticated. Mr.

Hood, of the Racket store, has a duor that belonged to the cabin in which Polk was born. ,3 Prep Tir to Vfpin Wo k.

The plan shows loca tion of hops end tenement houses, and it is in itself a small city. It will have electric lights and water works, and will be built up in city blocks.

Fi re Lroke out in Huntersville Fri day morning shortlyafter midnight the house of one of the employees of the Virgin Cotton Mills.

The fire spread rapidly and six houses burned, almost nothing being saved. The origin of the fire is supped to have been a defective flue in the kitchen. When the occupants awoke they barely had time to get out of the' house. The loss is estimated at $1,800, insured in compiles represented by Dr. E.

Nje utchison. All of the burned houses belonged to the Virgin Mills. In addition to the particulars given in Thursday's paper of the fire at is learned that fourteen stores and shops were burned. The loss is $20,000, with 1ms than insurance. The fire originated in a negro restaurant, and a ton man tells The that it removed a number of old houses that will probably be replaced by new and better ones.

SHIELDS DAUGHTER. AND HIS The WoudAi rg Not Fatal I.at Nlght'n Affair iu Long Creek Townhlp-Ii is Supposed the Robbors Were After Insurance Mon Officer on the search for the Desperadoes. At five o'clock this morning there was a at the jail and Sheriff Smith was aroused to find a messetiger f-roui Long 'reek awaiting him, with news of a tragedy there last night The messenger was William Vnnce, and he said he wanted to get officers and men to hunt down burglars who had broken into the house of Mr. A. Cowan Shields, and had shot Mr.

Shields and his daughter, Maggie. Vance lives within 500 yards of Mr. Shield's house. He stated that at a little past 2 o'clock this morning, Lm Shields, a son of Mr. Cowan shields, came to his house in gnat excitement and said: "Two men broke into father's house, and shot him and Maggie.

Co to town at once and tell the sheriff." Vance hurried off without gaining many details. What he knew of the affair was substantially Mr. Shields lived alone with his invalid wife and daughter. At 2 o'clock he was aroused by a noise in his house, and got up to investigate the cause. His daughter, who was also aroused by the noise joined him.

Just as they opened the door leading into the hallway they saw-two white men Instant'v the intruders opened lire upon Mr. Shields and his daughter, shoo'ing them down. They then escaped. Mr. Shields was shot three titn-'S and his daughter twice It was suppos-d.

said Mr. Vance, that the object was. robherv. It was known that a few-days ago, Mr Shields got J.ooo insurance money on the life of his son, the late Benjamin Shields--and the presumption is that the robbers supposed Mr. Shields kept the money in his house, and they were after it.

The neighborhood in which the affair occurred, is one of the most populous in MecKlenburg county. Mr. Shields lives 9 miles from Charlotte and close by are Whitley's mills, the Episcopal church and half residences. Sheriff Smith at once despatched Deputy Johnston to the scene. La-er, the Sheriff and Chief of Police Orr went out to Long Creek.

News was coming in and the first oorroberatioti of the raid on Mr. Sha-lds" house came thTough Mr. A Jamison, who keeps the store at Long Creek. II is report differed from that of Mr. Vance, and was to the effect that neither Mr Shields nor his daughter were dangerously shot According to Mr.

Jamison, the robbers first went to the kitchen and got all they wanted to eat. Then then they went up stairs and entering MiJs Shields' room, attempted to choke her. Her screams brought Mr. Shields to the scene, and then the firing legan. One of Miss Shields' fingers was shotoff, and Mr.

Shields received a bullet in his shoulder. The robbers got a gold watch, but nothing else was missed. It was also tbscovered that the store at Ixmg reek had broken into, presumably by the same parties who invaded Mr. Shields' house. Mr.

Shield, the victim of last night's assault, is ravd among the best men of Mecklenburg. He was a man of property and influence, but his later years were troubled. He first came into prominence before the public in 1X83. hen his son, Thomas L. Shields, shot and killed Joseph (J.

Sitton. That event aud the subsequent trial and incidents connected therew ith, are famous features in the history of VJeck lenburg, and last night's tragedy recalls the whole sad hioody tragedy. Joseph Sitton was a South Carolinian and was engaged in gold mining in' Long ('reek township. Heboanhdat Mr. Shields One morning in July Tiioin is.

Shields armed with a shot gun, went up stairs to Sitton's loom, and opened the door. Sitton was sitting on the side of the bed, and before be could rise up, Shields shot him. The load almost tore Sitton's head to pieces. Shields hurried to town am surrendered himself. The killing created intense fteling throughout fhe county.

Shields' defense was that he killed Sitton for seducing his sister. Sitton's friends here and in r-outn 1 aroiina employed aide counsel, as did Shields, and the came up before Gilmer, at th. Sep'c-inber term of the Superior-court, It was the most not able trial ever held in the Mecklenburg court house, and finally resulted in Shields' conviction fie was sentenced to be hanged. His counsel took an appeal to the Supreme court on an exception to a ruling of Judge Gilmer, and in due course of time, a decision was rendered by Justice Merrimoii, setting aside the verdict and granting a new trial This trial was held at Statesville and j. large portion of the people of Lon Creek attended.

It resulted in a verdict of manslaughter, and sentenced to a term of ten years in the penitentiary. After serving about i years, he was pardoned. TJe came home, and disappeared but it has beeen understood that he went west, married and settled down to a life of quiet industry. Between the first and second trial of Shields, the most exciting incident in the career ot the late sheriff Alexander occurred in the mysterious escape of SJiields irom jail, he late W. F.

Griffith was deputy sheriff and in i lor. Shields was confined in a cell on the upper tier, and every precaution was taken to hold him secure. One morning, after a nifrhtof storm rain and darkness, the. town was thrilled with the news that Shields Pa. caped.

A big hole had been dug in the rear wall of the iail and Shields' cell door had been unlocked. The news quickly spread through the vuuuiy, auu Danas ot peon starWI 'y" uneuiaouB. onieius was foundJying in a barn loft near Derita, stupified with morphine and was nnf oil a i 01 orougnt Dack to town by a great crowd.
