The True Story.

The full reports of the killing of Col
Blair, in South Carolina shows that tb,
first reports which went all over the
North were a pack of lies.
The trial OF Capt. J. l.. Halle, wh'
killed L. w. r. Blair, a G%reenback
leader. on July 4th, began tins a. ID
Judge Kcrshaw presiding The Couri
House was packed. The prosecution was
conducted hy Solicitor Bouhcim, assist,
ed by EA-Judge L. j. Mackey, indie
pendent candidate for Congress in the
9TH District. The plea Of not guilty wa,
entered. 4 jury was drawn composed
Of whites, after two challenges by Tho
State and eight by tie defense ana 5 y
for cause.
The several States witnesses made i'm
pOrtant variations from the evidence CIV
en- at the inquest, greatly weakening the
prosecution The killing, by Halle with
a Spencer rife, was fully established.
The States witnesses said that Halle
walked 70 the la. office, followed hy
Blair. who btsi his hand in his left breast.
Halle came to the door with a rifle and
out on the sidewalk. Blair advancing to

Learn il was TO have been discussed Al
the meeting of the Durham board of
trade Yesterday. We do not doubt that
practical energy which has characterized
Durham heretofore will lead to the util
~izltion OF the idea aud its adoption. The
growth of Durham, like that of Man.
chester in Alabama, has been phenome-
mai in our Southern country. aud the
basis of il is the force and push of her
citizens. They avail themselves of all
proper measures of advancement, and
seek to attain practical means. Such an
exhibition would contribute largely 10
the benefit of the tobacco interest in The
State, and would have many compensa-
tious for the trouble it wouid entail. We
do not doubt ii would pay all expenses.
We would be glad to see the product OF
the mountains and of the eastern
tries brought side by side with the IA
nous tobacco of the central belt; and
such representation of u State tobac
Goes as could be thus made would attract
great attention at the North. Our bright
leaf, as Colonel Cameron once suggested,
should be known as North Carolina, leaf,
and this movement may lead to that cnd
The tobacco interest in the State is Sc
cond only to that of cotton and indeed,
since our tobacco is SC superlatively fine,
we should take a greater pride in 1t than
in any other staple.
