MURDER AT WILSON
John Robbins Held tor killing Ben
Atkinson

WILSON, n. c., Dec. Especial !
John Robbins (colored) was arrested
Tuesday, charged with killing Ben.
Atkinson, also colored. The prelimi-
nary trial was concluded yesterday.
The evidence was adjudged sufficient
to justify retaining him in custody for
the next term of court. The woman in
whose house the killing occurred has
also been arrested.
During the month of November l.
381, 005 pounds of tobacco were mar
keted here. That makes the record for
the season something over 100000
pounds.
Mr.. T. NJ. Washington, one of the
proprietors of the Center Brick Ware
house, met with Il misfortune yester-
day. He fell and caught one leg under
himself, swapping the bone of the limb
in two places. The accident will con-
fine him 10 the house for months.

WHEN I'M WITH HER.

The sky is arched with deeper blue,
The flowers are decked in richer hue,
And glad fields seem to smile anew
When I'm with her.
When I'm with her,
More gentle is the murmur of the
brook,
More sweet the songs from dell and
nook,
And ever glad is life's old story book
When I'm with her.
When I'm with her,
The sunset paints a brighter sky,
The distant ships quiet at anchor lie,
And hours like moments hurry by
!. When I'm with her.
When I'm with her,
The moonbeams fail in softer light,
The bright stars laugh upon a perfect
night,
And all the world is filled with truth
and right
When I'm with her.
When I'm with her,
Ny hayward heart seems nearer pure,
OF God and future then I'm almost
sure,
And naught from right can me allure
When I'm with her.

CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY.

COLUMBUS. Ga, Dec. 4.
TO the Editor:
| have had my State pride stirred
up, and my confidence in the further
growth of North Carolina is greatly
strengthened from reading your
Thanksgiving tribute TO the Cotton
Mill industry in North Carolina,
which, indeed is more remarkable
and encouraging development OF what,
rs you say, is the States greatest in
dustry." | confess, for one, | was un-
prepared for such an exhibit, and Ger
tainly there has been III the South no
exposition OF a States development
along a single line, such as your en-
terprise, and patriotism, as well, has
given to the people of North Carolina
in your Thanksgiving issue OF the
News and Observer. | am glad that
you accompanied your sketches with
the pictures of these captains OF in
dustry,' who are doing such great
work for the State Their faces would
be familiar objects to their fellow
citizens, and be placed along side those
who have honored and advanced the
State in other callings and professions.
We can't but contrast the deeds OF
these men whose voices are not heard
in the whirlwind or the thunder or
the lightning of tiemagogue and noisy
politician, but in the still quiet tones
of the buzz OF machinery and the hum
of industry. 1t can't fall to the lot of
us all to be associates in such worthy
enterprises. but NE all can encourage
the undertakings and admire those
who are conducting them.
1t is also noticeable that those at the
head of these milling industries are
worthy young men; and we may eN-
pect when such has been their pro-
sress and success i'll the pith and mar
row of youth that great things indeed
will be accomplished in he bone and
sinew of manhood.
A word more You truly say North
Carolina is now prepared 10 SPIN her
swn product of cotton.
WHY could not the North Carolina
mills buy from the North Carolina
farmer and thereby save to both, the
expense of the middle man, and thus
establish reputation for the goods
as made from the raw material grown
in the State, which, to say the least,
would be O. most unique trade mark
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, of Boston,
told the writer several years ago that
the most satisfactory cotton his mills
cot came from the counties OF Wake
and Franklin, in North Carolina, raised
by the us.. Of commercial fertilizers.
/ hope your Thanksgiving edition
will reach every home in North lafo-
lima, so every community can kno"
what certain sctions are accomplish
ing in this line. and be stimulated TO
90 ard do likewise.
Yours truly.

NORTH CARDINALS FIRST POET.

4TRELI., n. G., Dec. 9.
To the Editor:
Ii will he a great pity if the attempt
now being made by the friends of Mr..
II. j. Stockard to collect and publish
his poems ends in failure. Mr.. Stock
ard is the FIRST poet that this State has
ever produced. Other North CAROLYN
iaas have written poetry. Mrs. Mary
Bayard Clarke amid much graceful
verse sometimes rose into true poetry;
Joseph W. Holden was brilliant IN
verse as in other things and his Hat
teras cannot perish: j. III. German In
his Angel In the Marble has given us
think, the best poem ever written by
a North Carolinirr Mr.. Theo Hill,
Mr. Boner and others | would by no
means deny have poetic gifts.
But from lack of inclination, oppor-
tunity or ability none of these have
risen ant remained in the true empy-
rean. Most of them after outbursts of
great promise relapsed into unbroken
silence. But Ar. Stockard's muse has
risen on far stronger pinions. The ed
itor Of the Century, himself poet,rec-
sgnizes the genius of the North Car
Gilman and solicits his productions.
One of Mr.. Stockard's sonnets, at
least. ranks with anything that has of
late appeared in that magazine.
1t is true that poetry like the other
high forms of literature must be large
Nv it's own reward. All the true poet
asks. al that he expects, is recogni-
ton AS long as we continue, as here
tofore, TO withhold this. just SO long
will we be without literature, of
which poetry is the supreme NANTES
tation-.

Gfty subscribers have 50 far been Sc

interested in the literary status of the
state subscribe. The poets address is

jast now. The crown is rather shal- low, and the brim is not wide, but the larger the flowers are the better. A round, white chip, with four peony roses, is considered fairly well trimmed, but if to this is added hollyhock ro- sette of white silk gauge, with some white wings projecting from it on each side, then it is beyond criticism.
 Null rosettes cannot be made too large. They look like the big double hollyhocks that grow in old-fashioned flower gardens, but they are very much larger.
 Wings and whole birds are worn by those who do not belong to the society with the long name. White ones are the favorites, and when perched upon a green straw hat that is trimmed with apple blossoms the effect is startlinplv natural. When the wings only are used, it is the fancy to put null TO- sette in the place where the bird oupht to be. sewing this artificial monstrositv upon the front of round hat. Two pairs of wings are sometimes used in this way, perhaps to preserve the balance.

It all depends upon the point of view, That's true of many things, but it's truest of fashions, as was strilSingly H. lustrated the other day on Twenty third street, when the shoppers that are still in the city were intensely amused at the sight of four Qualers, who were making their way through the crowd in the direction of the Jersey" ferry. The contrast between Quaker simplicity and New York prodigaiity was startling. The New Workers smiled as they passed and tossed their shoulder fluffs in disdain, and yet these people had every indica- ton of prosperity about them and probably belonged to the fashionable set" in Quakertown.

 How would it seem to pay six dollars and twenty-five cents for veil? Nota very large one, either-merely n piece of black tulle about twcntv-seven inches long, with a cream lace edoa and few little cream lace fleclxs over the surface. It seems to be all in the color of the lace, for the all-blaek ones are only three dollars and a half. Other veils that come by the yard are heavily dotted. A white veil with black dots is the favorite for outinc White with white dots is also worn. In the matter of veils, women seem de- termined to ruin their eyes. The double ve1l IS now worn very full in front, sshndlng out over the eyes in folds that must play havoc with the rays of light. Gloves are black, white, gray and brown, and should be of glazed kid. but undressed kid are admissible, for many people refuse to give them up.

trimmings There is the lace or etlif- ion vest that goes on in front, or the stock and chemisette, the sailor collar, which is almost as ubiquitous as the box plait; the sleeves of some material that is not found elsewhere on the waist, and the thousand and one lace and spangled ribbon ornaments that fill showcases and empty purses. Lace for applique trimmings is made in winR-lil1e pieces and used to trim both bodice and skirt. Stout women should avoid the fashion, however, for it emphasizes ones apparent girth.
 Pearl buttons made in France are cut and spangled, and come in sets of six for dress trimmings. Fancy buttons to relieve the plainness of stiff revers are set on at the lower edge.
 There are no important anatomical developments that are new. Woman's shoulders continue to be round and broad-made so by the shape of the gown she wears, but that is our point of view. Breadth of shoulder is att tained by means of wide revers, broad collars and big sleeves. A heavy silk gown has all three of these broadeners. The revers are very low, reaching hardly to the bust line, and are then scalloped out and merged into the broad collar that also forms shoulder caps for the sleeves. A plastron of lace and a wing-lil1e lace bow under the chin soften the effect of the stiff collar and revers.

 The things most gorgeous, now are hats. A hat of only one tint is an ob- ject of contempt among: its parti-col- ored fellows, and should. New York girl come out with peonies and sun flowers in her hat she would probably not cause much of sensation.
 For that matter, if the immense red flowers worn in summer hats. are not peonies it would take a connoisseuc in floral nomenclature to name them. For lack of better name they are called roses, but no rose that growsson bush or tree ever asp1red to any such. dinDen- sions as those that now.flourish. among the millinery flora.
 Here are some of the latest devolp- nents in the artificial flower garden: Lilacs of the deep, velvety purpleS ivy leaves of tropical magnitude; YeIE0w lilies of the valley; roses that ane. as large as cabbages.

 A black null hat is covered with snowballs and dark red roses. A white round hat has exquisite white clovers, only by some freak of the flower maker they are made the size and shape of red ones.
 A round hat that is not exactly sailor is the correct thing for ordinary wear
