THE LADIES' LITERARY CLUB
Most Hospitality Entertained at the
Home of rrs. T. z. Manning.

On Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 28th,
the Ladies' Literary Club held most
interesting meeting at the residence of
Mrs. T. 3. Manning.
AS printed in the programme for tn g
winters work, George Macdonald and
L. r. Crockett were the authors for the
day. An afternoon seemed much too
short a time to devote to two writer's
of such varied talents and fertile pens;
but previous reading and research rem
dered the exercises far from superficial.
Mrs. Gilmer read a fine original
paper on L. r. Crockett and his works,
followed by criticism on The Raid
ers" from Mrs. Pittman. A biograph-
ical sketch of George MacDonald's life
and works from the pen of Mrs. Jones
was much enjoyed.
Mrs. E. G. Davis read an article on
the Demon w oman, Iilith.
A discussion that was a spicy ming
ling of gravity and scintillating humor,
was brought to an end by the lateness
Of the hour. Tea was announced and
at the handsomely appointed table of
their hostess, the ladies Of the Club
fingered until long after the electric
lights told of approaching night, &C
cording to juicy turkey, salads, ruby
like jelly and dainty breads, a measure
of the refined appreciation, SO lately
bestowed on story and poems.
Hurried leave taking in the gather
ing twilight; and the afternoon was
left ''a golden milestone in our mem
cries of the Club. D..

WHEN WILL 1T STOP?

North Carolina has been unfortu
nate in many ways, but never more
unfortunate than in the selection OF
juries when it comes to trying men for
murder, arson, and other heinous
crimes which have shocked decency
and outraged juasice.
Only the other day in the arson
cases at kinston, when the evidence
was strong that the wretches on trial
were guilty, the jury brazenly and de-
family brought in verdict Of "not
guilty" So appalled, was the popu-
lace that it said nothing-but Judge
Graham told the jury that it had the
satisfaction of knowing it had acqut-
ted four very guilty men,"
The con munity could not afford to
offer comment 1t knew that the &C
quilted prisoners were incendiaries; it
knew that to openly condemn them
after the farce of trial would only be
to jeopardize their own interest," that
the crowd which had lighted and ap-
piled the torch-drunk in the glory of
their vindication would only be glad
of an opportunity to burn elsewhere,
so it maintained a silence which,
though painful, was prudent.
Were the kinston fiends alone in
their escape from justice, it would be
possible to offer some excuse; but the
court calendars will show dozens Of
cases equally as astounding. The law
is all right. The judges are all right
But it is the loose and criminaly reck-
less manner in which jurors are drawn
that needs some sort of speedy rene
dy.
AS it is now there is no certainty of
conviction. The question of estab-
fishing guilt is not one to be consid-
cred. 1t is whether or not the jury
will return a verdict on the evidence
adduced. 1t has ST nally failed in a
score of recent cases h North Carroll
ma, and each happening of this kind,
but intensifes the just indignation Of
law-abiding citizens. This means
Lynch law, and when Judge Lynch is
finally forced to take 8 hand, the
prejudiced jurors should lie made to
feel the hempen cord.-Hillsboro
Refor0er.

Edgar w. Nye, the well-known hu-
MOI GUS writer, had been near deaths
door at his home, Buck Shoals, eight
miles from AS eville, Y. G., for several
weeks. Mr.. Nye had scarcely left his
home since abandoning his lecture tour
one month ago in New Jersey. About
two weeks ago apoplectic symptoms
became manifest, but his system re-
sponded to remedies, and his physicians
pronounced him as improving. The
srtoke came February Is.
Edgar w. Nye was regular contrib
utor to the columns of many newspa-
pers for years over his more familiar
name of Bill Nye. He was born at
Shirley, Piscataquis county, Me-, Au-
gust, 25. 1850. His parents moved to
Wisconsin when Nye was child. and
there he grew up on farm. He was
educated at River Falls, studied law,
and went to Wyoming Territory in
1876, where he was admitted to the
bar. Justice was administered in a
rather summary fashion out there in
those days, and Mr.. Nye said that eli
WV" iouuu tHdt luCS SOuiu uc udUScu
etfectually Without the expense of a
lawyer; so he took to writing for the
newspapers.
His first letters were written for the
Cheyenne Sun at 81 column. He
was afterwards on the staff of the Den
Yer Tribune, and subsequently became
editor of the Laramie Boomerang. His
humorous writings i'll that paper attrac-
ted wide attention. aud the Laramie
Boomerang began to be quoted by news
papers throughout the country. Thus
Nye became famous. During recent
years his income from his writings and
lectures had been $4,000 year.
When not on a lecture tour Mr.. Nye
spent most of his time in the last three
years at his handsome home near Ashe-
vile, y. c., and a short distance from
George Nanderbilt's Biltmore. Mr..
Nye was married in 1877 to Miss
Fanny Smith of Chicago.

cures. There is no danger in giving ii to

Letter From RingwOOd.

RISGwooD, n. C., Feb. oath, '95.
EDITOR GOLD Leaf am acquainted
with Mr.. J. ". Hardee and all you say
of him is true He is a deserving, enter
prising, .pushing, good citizen and will
succeed.
As to the Governorship, as an humble
citizen 1 have q right to my views and
don't mind giving them for what they
are worth | believe we had best let julie
Carr have his way and not force the
nomination on him. He has money and
his gifts are many and deserving, but |
believe he would be out of place as a
candidate for Governor. And1 would be
pleased to vote for and help elect to that
high and honorable position Judge
Walter Clark. He would fill the place
in every sense and make Governor OF
whom we could well be proud. Hewould
have brains, patriotism and statesman
ship.
Political poltroons seem to be on the
increase. Men with souls as small
as wrens' ''prey where Gag es fear to
perch" We have some in this once
grand old State who are scheming for
public pap; no patriotic impulses reach
their sordid souls but they succeed just
as the following illustration will show:
q
head from a::sli,ny pool and sa an eagle
perched upon a crag upon the very top
of O lofty mountain. His little soul was
filed with a desire to reach a like alti-
tude He couldn't fly but he could
crawl; and he wriggled out Of the Shiny
pool and began to writhe and twist him
self up the mountain side, leaving the
marks of his filth and slime on every
flower and leaf and bush. But he got
there. And so very small man who
has no wings at all but who can creep
and crawl and wriggle, sometimes reaches
the eyrie of the eagle, instead of remain
ing in the pool where he was born and
where God Almighty intended he should
die | have my minds eye on such men
and we all have seen them in this day of
small-fry statesmen.
An open face may prove curse,
But pretended friend is worse.
Mrs. Dr. G.. E. Matthews, aged II
years, died yesterday after alIingering ill.,
ness and much suffering. A Christian,
true and lovely in character, has at last
reached her home at Rest, Yes,
At last!
Only form of clay,
The immortal spirit fed
Earth's fever passed away,
Leave her! She is dead,
At last!
Only vacant chair,
For us lonely hearth,
For her crown to wear
The new. immortal birth
At last!
The toll and strife are done;
The weary struggle DER:
The victory is won
The rest forevermore
At last
Beneath grassy mound,
A lite burial Sod
Above an angel crowned
A spirit with its God;
At last!

THE death of "Bill'' Nye, the fam
Gus humorlst, will be read with pro-
found regret. His writings will be
greatly missed by the reading public.
He served his day and generation we'll
for the man who makes the blues or
dull care give away to a smile or
hearty laugh, is no less benefactor to
mankind than he who causes two blades
of grass 10 grow where only one grew
before. As the world was made glad :
der by Bill Nye's living in it, SO it
will he made sadder by his taking
away. While his humor was not al
ways of the gentlest or purest kind it
served It's purpose we'll. Poor fellow,
he died all too soon, and We may not
look upon his like again.
