Inc hICumOuu DlSpaCcu COIIoSpO1u-
ence from Wilson Saturday said:
"Court has been in session here this
week, Judge A. w. Graham, of Oxford
presiding. Quite sensation was pro
duced when a jury, in case against a
liquor dealer for selling whlskey to
minors, brought in a verdict of not
guilty. The Judge dismissed the jury
with the remark that they had failed
to do their duty, and ordered the Sher-
iff to summon men of good character
The jury happened to be composed Of
some of our leading citizens, and, as a
consequence, the Judges action hai
been severely criticised by some, while
he has been sustained by others"

Tarboro Post Office Burned.

On the night of the election the
post office building in Tarboro was
discovered on fire after 2 o'clock. The

did noble work in checking the fire be-
fore greater loss was sustained, and
Mayor Donnell Gillian published a
card of thanks for the efficient services
of the fire company and other citizens.

nest Tor the season. There are man,
cartridges in the fields and forest, bu
they are said to be quite small.
CH1LDREN's DAY.-Children's Da,

This THE BEST PLACE.-A colored man
who has spent some time in New York
recently returned to Scotland Neck and
said this is the best place that he has
found for poor man. He said the
northern people will hardly let a color
ed carpenter nail plank on horse

more privileges and better chance
here than anywhere he has been.
New MAGISTRATES IN THE COUNTY
There are about thirty-tlve new magis-
trates elected in the county. Of these
about dozen were colored. There
we're eighteen or twenty colored magis-
trates in the county before, appointed
by the last legislature and that makes
the number of colored magistrates in
.he county about thirty.
FIsING THEIR ACCOUNTs.-Every Of
icer elected in the county has filed
lis itemlzed statement with Clerk Gary
n Halifax. It is surprising to see how
EASILY the Republicans were elected.
One of the principal county officers
lied a statement that he had not ex-
pended anything whatever in the cleo
ion and none of their statements show
arge expenditures.
COUNT ON THE WOMEN ALwAYs.-Mr

asst November to this time, and that
business has been behind all the season

lave not bought at all. The trade
rom the colored people, he says, has
,een very light.

unless all we're mentioned and the
least that can be said is that there was
not dull moment in the entire play.
The hall was filled and the receipts

The large audience was highly enter

SENoRITA,
Salem Amateurs Play in Cold House
Sensation.

Salem Amateurs Play in a Cold House
Sensation.
The Salem amateurs who presented
"Senorita" at the Reed Thanksgiving
night literally played to cold house
in the latter acts appearing in their
wraps and ulsters. The gOou work of
several really excellent actors in suit
able parts and splendid play, was
spoiled by the chill atmosphere
caused by weather near to zero accom-
panied by high winds. The audience
was a good one and received Mr.,
Burggraf and his company in the best
spirits everything considered. But
the new drop curtain refusing to
work, worked a further embarrass-
ment on the players, who had to stand
at close OF each act until repeated ef-
forts brought down the recalcitrant
curtain.
AS a finale, when the audience was
leaving the house a young hop-buyer
had an alteration with Prof. McEl.
roy OF the orchestra. Citizens inter.
fered to prevent general melee. The
Thanksgiving entertainment seems to
have suffered from a general conspir-
acy of the elements, the stage carpen-
ter, the fellows who were celebrating
the day the combination was exceed
ingly unfortunate. The effort to con-
meet the Salem hop buyers association
with the affair is not doing that Or
ganiZatioa justice. n number of those
gentlemen had banquet together but
are in no wise responsible for the mis-
OF any of their number The

lilies in Oregon.

A STRIKE.-The first "strike" Of the

day. Instead of making the usual
umber of strokes at that hour the

happily ended with the 212th stroke.
