DEATH OF HON. A. ID. JONES.

Very sad indeed is Tie death of
Hon. Alfred ID. Jones, of Raleigh,
Consul General at Shanghai, China,
which occurred on shipboard en- route
to San Francisco on the 9th inst. The
Nr7os Obs0Ttr- Chr0MtE says:
Although he had applied for leave
of absence from his post on account OF
III health, and we were aware Of his
purpose to return home, yet hopes
were entertained that be would be
benefited by the sea trip, and it was
not expected that he would have
undertaken a long voyage if his con-
dtion had been critical, Last week,
however, dispatch was received that
gave great cause for apprehension,
being a notification that his illness
had assumed such serious aspect
that friends should meet him on
the arrival Of the steamer at San
Francisco.
Sunday the steamer reached San
Francisco, and the sad news was
flashed over the wires that our friend
had died on the 9th instant at sea.
How melancholy his fate >;
On the incoming of the Cleveland
administration, he was rendered the
honorable position in our foreign
service Of Consul General at Shanghai
and on the third day of July he left this
country for China, where he soon be
came victim of some terrible malady.
His friends will sincerely mourn his
untimely death, and his memory will
long be treasured. He vas warm in
| his friendships, frank iii his utterances,
candid, open and sincere, and
| possessed : fine combination of
characteristics that made him as
cstlnable in private life as he was
conspicuous in public affairs.
Now that Jernigan has been provided
fora we'll deserved recognition oil
faithful service-let's all try to have
Henry rewarded also. No one did
such good campaign work, or made
more effective speeches at greater
personal sacrifice than did Walter r
Henry. 1t is no small matter 20 take
around on the dry, hot and dusty
autumn $50 pounds, more or less, O.
solid avoirdupois-and talk in a
crowded hail for two hours at a whet
but he did it, and right here in Wilson
he made on just such a night, one OF
the best speeches we ever heard. Ii
did good too, and made CONVERTS

Mrs. J. W. Coffin, who disappeared from
Charlottesville 80 mysteriously July oath,
and of whom NJ trace was found for
nearly four weeks, has been located in
Baltimore. Her husband has received a
letter from her dated that city, but Civ
ing no street number or reference to her
stopping place in that city. The letter
gave evidence of deep regret for the
step she had taken, and determination to
come home. Among other things she
said: ~ know you will never forgive me,
but If you will not be angry with me and
waDtime.I will come home again. l am
at work with dressmsker, and am get
Ing $3.50 per week"
She made request that the newspapers
be prevented from getting any further in
formation about her. Mr.. Collin wrote at
once to his wife, addressing thu letter to
the general delivery, asking her to return,
and promising his full and free forgiveness
His son, Mr.. E, J. Coffin, left at once for
Baltimore, and will make every effort to
locate the whereabouts of his mother
Mr. Coffin still believes that his wlfe's
mind is affected, and is doing all in his
power to bring her back to the influence
Of home and family. Mr.. Ccflin asserts
positively that be does not yet know why
his wife left and that be has never had
the slightest idea of her whereabouts until
be received the above letter. The mys-
terry, except as to her being in Baltimore,
is as great as ever.

A Difficulty IN Court.

A serious difficulty occurred at New
berry, the county seat of Pulaski county
on Wee nesday afternoon, between Gen
James A. Walker and j. c. Visor,
prominent attorney. The suit Of Postal
Clerk Shott against the Norfolk and
Western Railroad Company for damage
received IN a wreck in June last wa'
pending in the County Court, Gen
Walker being counsel for the company
and Wy sor for the plaintiff. Walker
accused Wysor of appealing in his speec
to the passion and the prejudice of the
jury. Wysor gave Walker the lie.
Walker asked for knlfe and Wy
sor drew his knife and handed it to him
Walker refused the proffer and borrowed
one from bvstander and the fight CON
menced. Several blows we're struck and
Wysor was stabbed in his shoulder and
his face was slit from his mouth to biz
ear. NOW ithsts ndiug his wound Wysol
was bent on killing Walker, but the latter
was carried off by friends. WysOr then
borrowed a gun and tried to force Wal
kers room door to shoot him, when both
were arrested and put under bond OF
So OOO Wysor IS painfully hurt but is
resting quietly at hotel in Newbery and
his injuries are not regarded as serious.
Both men are among the most prominent
lawyers in South western Virginia.

Stop Croaking.

This country is not going to the dogs,
nor to business interests to bankruptcy.
1t is time to stop croaking. That Is
largely responsible for all the present
trouble. For months people have delight
ed to seem wise ly predicting q panic
unless the Sherman bill was repealed,
and this has done more to bring about
the troubles Of the present than the Sher-
man bill itself. This is a country Of
infinite resources, OF recuperatiYs powers
greater than any other country in the
world, and it will quickly right itself from
the stringency now prevailing. Its bust
ness interests are solid, and it 10 growing
as no other country ever grew. 1t is worse
than folly to imagine that the acute
at tactk Of Indigestion, from which it Is
now suffering can last for any length of
time. 1t is severe for the time beng. but
VT will soon be wondering what in the
world everybody was frightened at.
There is really no lack of business, but
because of this wild and senseless scare
people have locked up money until bus
iness hiss been cnrtailsd by the inability
to secure currency only, and not by any
general unsoundness in business itself.
IL is time to be rid Of the crOaker.
He is a cumberer Of the groand, doing no
good and much harm. There is no excuse
Tor his existence. We have raised good
,rops at o low cost. Europe is taking |
,ur wheat freely and gold is coming in
RELY. In few weeks cotton will be
moving, and then We will have still
eayier imports of gold. Regardless Of
action, ws have every
eason to look for quick disappearance
( the fright which is alone responsible
Or the present condition. And then We
,ay accept as an absolute fact that con-
ress will, despite political wrangling,
dept some measure which will aid in
wing improvement to business. Stop
