Eugene O. Beddingfeld, former Sec
retary of the North Carolina Farmers
State Alliance, now one of the newly
elected Railroad Commission RS, was
born on the 10th of October, 1862, in
Wake county few miles north of Ral-
eigh His father, A. II. Beddingheld,
was Confederate soldier and died in
the hospital at Gordonsville, Va, in Nov
1868, leaving his wife and son dependent
upon her father, Edward Chappell, who
was a plain substan ial farmer, at the
time seventy five years of age. Sher
mans army having left the country in
destitute condition,it was with consider
abe sacrifice that they managed to send
Eugene to a subscription school for
few months in each year, until he was
old enough to plow. A corrupt Legisla-
| ture having squandered the public school
| fund there W ere no public schools in his
| neighborhood at the time. AS soon as
he learned to read, however, he mani
| tested a great fondness for books, and
| through the kindness of friends was en-
abed to borrow and read many which
he could not otherwise have done. Every
! spare moment was employed in reading
standard works of history and fiction.
| When he was fourteen years old,
| through the kindness of his.teacher, DIR.
L Chappell of Forestville, he att snded
the Academy at that place for year.
DR.. r. 81. Lewis, now President Of Jud-
son College, was at that time principal.
This was the principal part of schooling
he ever received, as some private mat
ters prevented him from attending col
lege as be had hoped to do. He how
ever did not give up his studious habits,
but continued to study and read at spare
time while working on his farm. 1888
Mr.. Beddingfeld was nominated as a
candidate for the State Legislature. Up
to this time he had never delivered a
public speech in his life, but soon showed
considerable ability as a speaker, and
was able to hold his own with the old
political orators. His canvass of the
, county was brilliant one, he being the
} only Democrat elected from this county
} Mr. Beddingfield at once took promi-
, nent position in the Legislature, and
1 perhaps no young man in the State ever
| exercised a wider influence. His record
in that body is one of which he may vel
3 be proud. When Col. Polk resigned as
? Secretary of the State Alliance he va:

: brotherhood throughout the state
by re election last August at the meet

Several enterprising young gentlemen,
of this city, have arranged to erect, at
the Exposition grounds, Switch Back
railroad, and they are now negotiating
with contractors for the building of the
same. The road will be erecttd by the
first of June, so that the people OF this
city may have the advantage OF some
sport and enjoyment near at hand. No
question but this undertaking will be
prof: able investment. The Exposition
grounds will be kept open free, from
June 1st to October 1st, and the young
and old people of this city will BE- en-
abled to pass many summer evenings
very pleasantly out there. Some enter
prising persons could make quite
financial success if they could secure the
large hall in the Grand stand and IN
augurate a Mammoth Skating hinK

fifty by two hundred and fifty Ieet, ana
would make the largest skating rinK ever

WAsH1NGTON, D. g. March 31-Chief
Justice Fuller il the Supreme Court Of
the United States to-day announced the
decision Of the court in the notab be case
Of Dick Duncan against Sheriff McCai
O. Bavoir County Texas Duncan was
convicted of murder and sentenced to be
hanged. He appealed on the ground
that the new criminal code of Texas IN
der which he was tried was noG enacted
legally and the case came to the Su
preme Court on writ Of habeas corpus;
Duncan claiming that he was held with
out due process Of law and si.ould be
set at liberty. The court holds that the
legality or the illegality CT the code is
not question for it to determine, the
State court being invested with that
power. Ia the decision the court says
that the code seemed to have been enact
ed legally without aid of any revolution
ary Proceedings The decision of the
court below is affirmed, and under this
dc cision, Duncan will be hanged unless
the governor of Texas interferes. If the
court had decided in lavor of Dunca q
every criminal in Texas convicted under
the new code would have been set free
