Yesterday several prominent
Raleigh druggists were sum
moned before the grand jury to
testify as to gambling in their
stores. To-day the grand jury
brought in true bills for several
Of them. The gambling con
sisted in the druggists allowing
raffies and rafting off articles in
their stores just before the
Christmas holidays. The drug
gists and their friends are very
much wrought up over the affair
and denounce in strongest terms
the party or parties, who are
unknown who brought the mat
ter to the attention Of the grand
jury.
Editor }. W. Bailey, of the
Biblical Recorder, tells me that a
canvass of the Senate has been
made on the question of State aid
to higher educational institutions
and in regard to the temperance
movement which [ informed you
Of day or so ago. He says that
the canvass discloses the fact
that a majority of senators are
opposed to the appropriation 10
the University and that much
larger percentage than would
have been supposed were in favor
of temperance Legislation.
The work Of placing the gran
tie for the Confederate monu-
ment, preparatory to setting up
the shaft. is being rapidly push
ed. The unyeiling of the monu-
ment, from the present indica-
tions, will take place before
spring.
Where is the conservative
legislature about which so much
was heard a month ago? The
taking away of the Senate presi-
dents power aud the repeal OF
the State printing bill, one of the
most conservative measures ever
introduced, looks very unlike
conservatism.
A small town near Raleigh,
RoleSville, is in great state ot
excitement over the action Of a
crowd of citizens in shutting uI
the school house there. 1t seems
that the Democratic school com.
mittee elected a lady as school,
teacher. The town, Populistio
in every way, wished a Popuist
elected. The other day the
school house was found CLOSED
and nailed up. The matter was
brought before magistrate who
of course, sustained the commit
tees action.
To-day in Superior Court, the
Perry murder trial came up. Il
promises to be very sensational
one. From the testimony to-day
it appears tlat the murder was
one of the most cold blooded ever
committed, Perry came to Ton
Bailey's house on April 18th ane
called out to him to come out as
he wished to speak to him. Wher
Bailey came out Perry said, .
have come to kill or be killed
G. d-n you" He then com
menced slashing Bailey with ;
knife. Bailey turned and ran tt
the house for his gun, Perry
slashing him at every step in The
neck or stabbing him in the back
Bailey got his gun and tried t.
shoot Perry, but was so veal
that he fell, the gun exploding
, as he did so. The motive for th'
/ murder was a most childish one
, Bailey having told his children
, not to visit Perry's house.
) Perry fed and eluded arres
for several months. He wa
finally captured in Durham afte
; a hard fight with the officer max
t ing the arrest. He was brough
here and was to have been trie'
at the9ast term of court, but th'
trial was postponed. He will, il
| all probability be convicted. l

little innocent, girl baby sittin;
