Correspondence of the Raleigh Press.

n
We learn that last week, young lady of extra
ordinary beauty and superior attainments-the
daughter of wealthy and respectable parents OF
Sampson county, attempted to elope with negro
fellow, the property of her cousin. To friend
we indebted for the following particulars:
Their elopement had been planned for several
weeks but favorable opportunity not present.
ing, it was postponed from time to time; op
portunity offering favorable her nefarious de-
signs, she told the negro to be in readiness at the
designated place and time. When the hour ar
rived, she crept silently from her fathers house
and soon Joined the negro, who waiting with
horse and buggy which he had stolen from a
eighbor-carrying the buggy on his shoulder t,rO
hundred CARDS to the main road d;-the two then
left and proceeded toward the railroad. Being
short of funds, made it necessary for the lady to
call upon one of her fathers friends, telling him
that he Cher father) wished him to loan her an
hundred dollars, at the same time handing him a
note. " hich upon examination proved to be worth
less, as it had signature affixed The gentle
man informed her that he would have willingly
loaned her the required sum, if her fathers signat
ture had been to the note, but as that importan-
part neglected, he could not do it. She then
went with the negro to Faison's Depot, Con the
w. & w. Il. R, where she expected to take the
cars and offered the horse and buggy for sale at
terms SO low, that at once aroused suspicious that
all was not as it should be. Several questions
were put to her, all of which she answered with
much plausibilty, that bystander volunteer
ed to lend her money, but before doing desired
to see the bill of sale for the negro, which she af
tirmed she had. She produced it, bus like the
note. it was not signed. and also contained several
other errors. The citizens then determined to
arrest them, and acted accordingly, whereupon
the young lady made clean breast of the whole
affair-publicly expressing that her determination
was to marry the black rascal when she got to the
North. The negro Immediately taken and
lodged in Clinton JAIL but has since been carried
off and disposed OF. The young tady remained at
Faison's few days, and then returned to her
friends. AS she is young and beautiful, of supe-
rior accomplishments, and has numerous relatives
and friends, and heretofore moved in the most re-
spectacle society, it is to be regretted that she
acted SO improperly and unbecoming lady.
Of course, when the "irrepressible conflict >
journalists hear of it. they will exto her many cir
tues to the skies, and make great attodo general

SIMPLE-IIEARTED HONESTY OF CLERGYMAN.
Rev. Mr.. Derwell pious old Methodist minister,
went from Tennessee to Kentucky in 1921, to visit
his relative, the Hon VIM. Bolton. The man was
not religious man, but was gentleman, and IN
vited the minister to have family worship every
evening. While he visiting there, Judge
Cone and his wife, from Nashville, arrived there
to pass the night, and Mr. Bolton, being little
embarrassed, said to the minister he brought
out the Bible, that he had better be short, the
Judge was probably not accustomed to such
things. "Very well, very well,' said he, and
reading single verse he knelt down and prayed ::

but cousin William says that Jud ge Cone and his
wife, from Nashville, are here and not used to

did to their a.ifcation.-Nashrue Gazette.

New HAMPsHRE.-The Republican papers in
dicate their doubts of the success of their party
in New Hampshire at the next spring election,
from urgent appeals they are now making to
voters. A correspondent of the Boston Traveller
writes:
"Probably no Statei in the Union is so we'll can
vassed and understood in the tight as our own;
but there is one great failing after alive gain
but few ProseLytes.'
This information is very encouraging to the
Democracy. The Republican majority for Gov
ernor last year, was but ,497. If the Republicans
gain few proseytes, and the Democrats bring out
their force the success of the latter is GER
tain The Boston Traveller says:
The election will doubtless be warmly con-
tested by the Republicans to maintain their su-
premacy. and by the Democrats in order to stand

He engaged in some capacity other at the
