Senator Calvin i. Parish replying
to Capt. r. Nj. Furman's defence Of
Lieut-Governor Robinson's ruling in
the Durham county Senatorial Flip
Flop, prints IN the Observer a letter
from Hon. Sam j. Randall, Of the L.

country will have the benefit without
having to pay for the whistle.

agonies Of death. Moore himself could
not be found. Somebody saw what
was supposed to be a piece Of rock

the river, 400 feet distant. A trail of
blood led in the same direction. After
several days search a crushed mass of
flesh and bones was found in fifteen feet
Of water. 1t was Moore
