WILSON. N. c.. February ESPECIAL ,
An important case was decided before his
Honor. Judge Bynum. yesterday. Last
January man named Bssett was shot in
the head by some person. The shooting
took place at night near the railroad depot.
Suspicion at once fastered itself upon Mr..
Nutall, the superintendent OF the Wilson
cOtton-mills.
He was apprehended and put under a
bond. The case came up In this court.
Nutall claimed that he fired his pistol into
the ground and that Bissett was nowhere
about The testimony showed that Nutail
was drunk and incapable OF judging the
direction in which he fired. Bissett had
recovered and testified that three men
passed him In the dark. and one OF them
shot him as they passed. The jury found
Nutall guilty Of the carrying OF concealed
weapons and reclslessly shooting Bissett,
as charged.
LAWYERS
Many prominent lawyers are in attend
ance upon court this week, among them
w. s. OBJ. Robinson, OF Goldsboro'. who
was District Attorney under Harrison's ad-
ministration; c. b. Aycock, the present
District Attorney; Captain Swift Gallo-
way, OF Snow Hill. and other prominent
men OF this and adjoining counties.
IL Is a matter that the people OF Will
son are somewhat sore over. that colored
postmaster has been retained in Office
here for year after he could have been
removed. 1t was promised by our repre-
sentative In Congress that a new post
master would be appointed on the 9th Of
January. That date has come and gone.
and yet the brother Of the sable hue still
holds on without any prospect of being
removed. This post-office pays $3.50 per
year salary. and Democrats feel that some
member ef the party should have that
salary. and they are not satisfied with the
existing state OF affairs.
Mr.. Kenneth Weaver and Mr.. W. Harris
went TO Wilmington yesterday to stand
the civil-service examination that Is being
held at that point.

lost -, it called for a reward to the one returning
the same, which must be small Now l did not
think 81 would be missed in that rich town of

her two bright dimes which pleased
her immensely. The advertisement
cost 80 cents, reward 20 cents, total of
so cents to recover two hundred cents.

amount. This ought TO satisfy even
