   FATAL ACCIDENT -- A man by name of CALVIN WEBSTER, a native of Chatham 
County, but late of Davidson, was accidentally killed at Gold Hill, in this 
county, on the 2nd instant. He had descended a shaft to set a match for 
blasting, in doing which, it is supposed, he let the fire fall on the priming. 
He was dreadfully torn by the explosion, and died within four hours after the 
accident. -- Carolina Watchman
