LEWIS BROUGHT BACK.
POLICEMAN ADAMS WENT TO
CHARLOTTE AFTER HIM.
His Arrest-Lewis Says He Re
grets he did not Kill Her.

There was large crowd at the r.
y ID. passenger depot Saturday to
see Policeman Adams arrive from
Charlotte with . oe Lewis, who stabbed
the Jennings woman Thursday after
| noon.
When passing by Browns warehouse
Lewis remarked TO the crowd that
was following, "Boys the show will
come of about two O'Clock" To this
some fellow replied: YES, and it NAV
| be three O'Clock with you when it does
come off,
The prisoner declined to talk about
his difficulty. He remarked to one of
the officers, however, that he did stab
tue woman and that he was only sor-
ry that he did not kill the d. b.
Sheriff Macarthur has the knife with
which Lewis stabbed his "sweet-
heart" 1t has only one blade which
is about four inches in length The
knife is an ''old timer" Blood was
found on the blade when Lewis was
first arrested.
The Charlotte Observer has the fol-
lowing TO say OF Lewis arrest.
Lewis reached here Thursday
night. 1t was supposed he came in
this direction, so Sheriff Smith was
wired yesterday morning to look out
for him. Shortly after receiving the
message the sheriff was informed of
Lewis being here by party who
knew him. When arrested he was
making pretty rapid time up the Car
DINA Central track from the freight
depot. lie had ticket to Monroe,
and was getting toward the depot
as fast as possible. When passing
SalmOn'S bar he said he just must
have drink as he was very nervous. :
After getting the brdcer he went with
the officers To Squire MaXWell's office,
and was by him committed to jail to
await the demand of the authorities
of Forsyth county. Lewis acknoW-
lodged stabbing the woman"
The story of the arrest is also told
by the Charlotte News as follows:
Policeman Irvine was passing by a
saloon on the wharf" and saw what
he took to be his man. He at once
told Sheriff Smith or the man, and
they both went back to look for him.
But he was gone. Parties who had
seen the stranger said he had gone in
the direction of the railroad, and the
officers followed in pursuit. At the
corner of Ninth street and the railroad
the policeman again saw his man, and
walking up to him, laid his hand upon
his shoulder, and said: is your name
Lewis 2"
The man replied gruf1ly: "No."
Mr.. Irvine said: We'll, you will do
for Lewis, anyway, so come along"
When the party, the policeman,
sheriff and prisoner, arrived at Justice
MaXwell's office, Lewis made Il full
confession. He said he stabbed the
woman because she struck him over
the nose with d beer bottle. She is a
woman of questionable character.
Lewis as ked for drink and was
was given one as he seemed to be very
nervous. Justice Maxwell issued a
warrant for him as fugitive from
justice, and lodged him in Jail. On
the way to jail, Mr. Irvine discovered
something III Lewis coat pocket, and,
upon searching him, found large
bowie knife.

MIR. sTOCKTONs BIBLE
Some Particulars Of a Book Pf inted
139 Years Ago.

The Bible owned by Mr.. NJ. d.
Stockton bears date 1924, and the
book includes also a collect with
the usual rites. On the first or title
page after mention of the psalms set
forth to be sung in churches, ETC., it
reads: land moreover in private
houses for their gOdly solace and
comfort, laying apart all ungodly
songs and ballads which tend to the
nourishing of vice and cOrrupting of
youth"
The book also contains a table of
kindred and affinity, prohibiting a
man from marrying any one of thirty
persons. For example, a man may
not marry his grandmother, his
grand-fatherS wife or his Wife'S
grandmother: nor can he marry his
deceased wife's sister-a prohibition
still in force in England. The book
has also family record whereby it
appears that Mr.. NJ. d. Stokton's 6
great-great-grandfa father was Mr.. Jos.
Stockton, who was born May 10, 1897
Mr.. William Miller, Jr., of this city,
also has an old Bible or Testament
| he doesn't know which. 1t is printed
in German and bears the date of 1744.
Mrs. Miller thinks it is Testament.

THE STATE r P1NITENTIARY.
Superintendent Leazer Raises tbs best
Crops Ever Produced.

An option has been secured by
Messrs PurneIl and Burkhead on the
1,200 State convicts and everything
! connected with the penitentiary, in
Guiding the buildings and grounds
The option is fer the lease of every
thing together with the use Of the
cOnyicts on farms, in mines, manufac-
turing or railroad work. All out
standing leases, such as those on the
Roanoke farms, are to be taken up.
The holders of the option have bids
from other parties who wish to en-
ploy portions of the cOnvicts in va
ri0uS ways.
An option, however, is not con-
tract and nothing may ever result
from it Therefore Mr Leazar, Su-
perintendent Of the penitentiary, is
going ahead with his arrangements
for working the conYictS. The farms
on the Roanoke will be continued and
the Farming operations there greatly
enlarged. Twenty-Five hundred acres
more will be put in cultivation. De-
spite the loss of 10000 bushels Of corn
by the freshet, Mr. Leazar says he has
made 10000 bushels of corn. This is
equal to the greatest product of any
year since the lease began. Eight
nundfed OaleS OF COTTON nave ALREADY
been picked and there are three hun
dred more in the fields, making cot
ton crop Of 11,00 bales. While the
yield Of two years previous, 1891 and
1892, was only 900 bales.
All this had been done in spite of
many obstacles. Never was there a
year Of such difficulties on the Roam
Oke farms. To begin with, there were
two heavy floods on the crops in the
spring: one of these made the replant-
ing of the crops necessary. Again on
August 18th began series of freShets
six in number, which destroyed the
dikes, swept away lowland crops and
cut the corr crop short 10000 bushels.
The river rose to height of from -
to 30 feet above mean low water
level

TOBACCO MARKETS.
Reports Regarding This Years Crop OF
the Weed

Through the kindness of Editor
Harman, of the Southern Tobacco
Journal, we condense some of his val
liable reports from various tobacco
sections as follows:
OXFORD.
This years crops, compared with
1892, is different in character, the leaf
this year being heavy and imperfect.
Fine wrappers are bringing higher
prices than last year.
BURLINGTON.
This years crops equals last years
in quantity but it shows falling off
of about 40 per cent in quality. This
does not apply to filters and common
smokers which rule as high as cores
ponding gradeSlast year.
HENDERSON.
The new crop is the most inferior
ever seen here. Tobacco. with high
color is very scarce, and the crop of
wrappers is very limited. E'illers are
generally coarse and rough, badly
storm-beaten. Other grades are as
high in color and quality as last year.
GREENyILLE.
There are more brights than last
year and cutters average higher,
wrappers are about the same. FillerS
are considerably lower and scarcer.
About one-third of the crop has been
marketed. Recent offerings show de
probation in color.
ROCKY MOUNT.
The crop in this section has better
body and more good working tobacco,
but it is considerably less in colOrs
than last years.
MT. AIRY.
A great deal of the crop is rough
and bruised, but there is some very
fine grades both of filters and wrap
pers. However, the fine grades are
not up to last years crop. Prices are
about the same as last season at this
period

Receipts continue good at all the

The new crop is coming in freely and
played an important part in this
weeks sales. Scattering lots of old
continne TO come ia but it is the gen
eral opinion OF the trade that most OF
the old crop has been sold.
This weeks sales showed fairly good
quality in working tobacco suitable
for chewing. Some desirable filters
changed hands and some new wrappers
OF very desirable quality. A large
proportion Of the crop, however, is of
nondescript quality.
Prices are strong and grades are in
active demand. Working grades are
specially active. Both local manufac-
urers and dealers an active buyers on
every sale and the tone of the market
is such as to send planters home well
pleased with their sales.
Business in the factories is good.
