SALISBURY, N. c., August 1.-The
Seventh District Convention renomina-
tel Henderson over Leazar on first bal
lot by instructed vote of 176 to 1913.
Vance, Merrimon and Clark were
unanimously endorsed, the district be-
ing outspoken in its disapproval OF the
anti Clark anonymous circular.
The nominatian Of Mr.. HENDERSON to
succeed himself is but fitting endorse
mcnt OF his course in Congress, and the
expression of appreciation of his steady
and faithful service for his people. Ills
course is commendable, and the people
of his district have by their action SAID
90. He will be reelected, of course, and
will do good work for his section and
for the country at large.
Mr.. A. LEAzER, Of lredell, was Mr.
UENpERsoNs strongest opponent. III
was very popular in the race and if h
had signed the Alliance demands h
would have been nominated. But h
conld not do this. He was not Opposed
to tho principles they embodied, but h

his convictions, though by so doing b

MoREHEAD CITY, July 30, 1890.
My DEAR MRS. MoFFITT:-I beg TO
convey to you, through the courtesy Of
Mr.. Daniels, the sum of 81 0wo dollars)
to be added to the fund already raised
here for the Soldiers Home" The
amount herein named was raised by three
little girls, viz: Miss Christina Crawford
of Winston, and Misses Carrie and Jessie
Wyatt of Raleigh, at a children's concert
given by them at DR.. Arendell's comfort
able home on last Tuesday night. Three
little girls deserve the highest praise for
their efforts in behalf of so worthy a
cause Can we not interest the children
in this matter in other portions of the
State? 1t seems to me peculiarly touch
ing and appropriate that the children
who are coming on to take our places
should be encouraged to lend their best
efforts Of head and heart to an enter
prise that must ever appeal to all that is
noblest and best within them, as it re
calls at once the most pathetic and most
tragic episode in all our COuntry'S LIS

Especial Cor. of STATE CHRoNICLE.1
The investigation of the murder of n.
S. Potter is still in progress in Snow
Hill, the State being represented by
Messrs. John F. Wooten, of Kirston,
and T. Q. Wooten, of Snow Hill, and
the defense by Col. |. A. Sugg, Of Green
vile, and Messrs. Lindsay and Edwards,
of Snow Hill.
The facts that led to the arrest
of George Potter, John jolly and
James Carter, as far as ascertained, are
as follows: The citizens of Greene in
the section of Fountain Hill, near the
county line of Pitt, have been much an
noyed by the misdoings of notorlously
dissolute and unprincipled parties in
that community, and several weeks ago
notices were, served on them, by posting
on the doors ard other places, that they
must leave the neighborhood. No
some unknown parties raided and
of these persons lived causing them
| to leave.
On the premises of N. S. Potter lived
a woman, Mag Joyner by name, Of noto-
riously dissolute habits who was notified
to leave Potter was also notified to move
her away, but no attention being paid to
this, save by Potter placing firearms in
the house of this woman, and putting a
white man by the name ofWhite to guard
the premises at and around the house of
the woman, on the night of the 18th
unknown parties went to this house
caught the man White, and took him and
the woman and gave them dose of tar
and feathers and ordered them to leave
White left but returned since the inyes-
tigation began The woman, Mag JOY
ner, and White both testify to this
and further, that while this was
going on Potter came up anG
was shot by the mob. There is also
evidence to show, as testified to by
the wife of Potter, that on tina
night she and her husband had retired
and hearing the report of firearms, he
husband arose, dressed, and armed him
self, contrary to the entreaties of hi
wife, and went in the direction of tn
firing. Reports of firearms were again
heard in the direction of Mag Joyner'
place of residence, and Potter not re
turning, his body was found next morn
, ing at the house Of Mag Joyner com
pletely riddled with buckshot Th
whole matter rests in doubt and mys
terry. There seems to have been ne
. gro man who was intimate with this We
. man, who is connected in the raid som
way, which causes suspicion to poir
. that way. She is under arrest. The il
=. vestigation has been going on since Sa
y urday, the 26th of July, with no ne
developments to date.
