Chatham Record We saw a ne
gro nan in Raleigh, a few days ago,
who has q wonderful popularity
tina: is he never talks. He is not
deaf or dumb, but yet cannot be
persuaded or forced to talk. lie
answersques,ions with mo" or eyes"

Raleigh News Observer One OF
the convicts in the peni,entiary, a

simple tools, even a sharpened nail
proving of use in cutting and carv-
