OUR sister town Of Kinston
underwent another devastating
frey ordeal yesterday morning
at 1:3O o'clock, by which a whole
block of stores and several small

SAYS the Norfolk Landmark:
cit is a pity that the Governor
Of North Carolina has no veto.
How eagerly and periodically he
would have vetoed the new cleo
ton law, which is devised for the
purpose of filling the ballot boxes
with the votes Of men who are

SOME sneak-thief or thieves,
not having a due regard for his
official capacity, raided the hen
roost of Mayor Broadhurst Fri
day night and left nothing but
the perches on which eighteen
chickens had gone to roost that
evening, Where we're the po-

SYEe to mean that we wished to
insinuate that the police were
''chicken hungry" that night, but
such is not the case, we simply
asked the question to make a full

WE regret to chronicle the
death of Mr.. Sam Chadwick, in

in this city, went down to Kins
ton, under direction of division
superintendent Tree, yesterday
afternoon to take charge of Mr.
Chadwick's Office and get it ready
to turn over to his successor.
A WIDE difference of opinion
has existed among lawyers OF
the question whether in a crimi
nal case the jury is judge of thu
law as we'll as of the facts. Th'
Supreme Court of the Unitet
States recently made its first dis
tinct declaration on this subject
Three members of the court pre-
pared opinions on the question
which will fill one hundred an,
