THE MURDER OF WILLIE WATKINS.
The extraordinary trial of the most
extraordinary pair of criminals known
to recent court records in North Caro-
Ina is still in progress in Wake court
house; the court being in extra session
since Saturday night 10 admit Of the
completion Of the trial. Large crowds
have attended every session during ten
days past. Young Joe J. Williams, the
chief prisoner, sits cool and calm. with
a white rose in his button hole. His
coleague,-now his accuser,-John
Pool, also seems easy but has less
mental stamina. And Just here we
note a singular circumstance well known
to ali old lawyers that where two men
commit murder, ONE is apt to be a mere
stumbling, nerveless parasite of the
other, and almost invariably betrays
him. it seems to be a provision of ma
tural justice that men Of bloody minds
are poor Judge. of character and almost
certain to provide themselves with an
accusing witness.
Williams has had very able defense;
surprisingly strong under the circum-
stances. The defense argued hat the
young men got drunk, and concluded to
way-lay PEBBLES, and give him a
"scare." That John Pool had the rifle,
and used it SO clumsily that Watkins
was killed by accident POOLS differ
ent tales were brought up to cast doubt
on his last one and his affidavit about
his first visit to a prominent lawyer was
shattered by several witnesses.
The SPIRIT of the Age attributes the
whole affair TO the two quarts of whisky
bought from A. d. Fleming's GROCERY.
Che Is 40 kin to DIR. j. II. Fleming, who
testified on the medical phases Of the
case). The young men had been to
church, as was also with the girl, and
PEBBLES, but after getting full of mean
wlliskey they we're ready for crime.
Since the foregoing was set in type.
the Jury has returned, and after eight
hours deliberation, pronounced the pris-
ones Guilty! Judgment was prayed,
and Judge Avery fixed August 10Th as
the date for the execution OF Williams.
The latter wac not pat upon the stand
during the trial; but upon being asked
by the Judge replied-.'I thank your
honor and the jury for giving me a fair
trial but l am not guilty" His coun-
sci then took an appeal to the Supreme
Court, which will postpone the execu-
ton four or five months.

ARE YOU DOING YOUR DUTY TO
THE SCHOOL!

CO"Oi"b o"iNO WIZ PCiDOnNh ihsOi Wv
have in the matter, l would like for
every citizen of Milan to ask himself
the above question, and answer it con-
scientiously. do not suppose there
is q man among us who will not af.
firm education to be blessing, and
that school in \ community is
means of incalculabls good, yet, We
find numbers who refuse to support
that school. They neither lend US
their children, or give us their good
wishes. Here we are confronted
with men whose words and works are
Inconsistent. Are you too poor to
pay for the education of your chill.
dreni An honest man rarely ever is
so impoverished as not to be able to
give his children at least a common
school education.
The man who is able TO educate his
children, and will not do it, that man
is robber. He deprives his own
children of which is of more vslus to
them than gold and silver. In this
civilization, when the tendency for a
higher life is so marked, The man who
checks this upward movement, by re-
fusiDg to make sacrifices to educate
his children, that man is an enemy of
society, and save that he walks in the
image of God, there is no humanity
about him.
Every one knows that it is for the
social, moral, intellectual and fnan>
cial good of Milan to keep up good
school here; and if there ever was a
man who was worthy of your sup
port, that man is John G. Langston.
He has done more to build up the
school than any other man ever will
do. Some of the good people of Mi>
Ian appreciate it, and are seniing
their children and encouraging US to
strive on. But there are others who
seem altogether indifferent, who
hold of, it may he on some petty
prejudice that is unworthy Of the
blackest African. They seem to
think it's smart toplsy The long cared
animal.
No sensible man can find any objec>
ton to the school or It's management.
The progress of the scholars is salts
factory to patron sand teachers.
There is only one thing necessary
tor us to make the school grand sue
cess; that is united effort on the part
of the people of Milan. Rightly di>
rected, education is the only thing
that can make US properly useful in
life.
| People of Milan, you who are not
already engaged in the good work,
educate your children, and after awhile
you can with pride see traces of noble
and manly thoughts on their brow
but if you do not, you can expect
nothing better than their shame and
degradation. VIM P. HILL.
