A SENSATION AT WILSON COURT

His Honor Judge Graham caused a
sensation in court Wednesday. The reg
ular jury was empaneled in the case of
State VS.. Neverson Williams, who was
charged with selling liquor to minors.
The judge told the jury that if they be-
lieyed the witnesses she is guilty. Retire
and make up your verdict" The jury
retired, and on their return announced
a verdict OF not guilty, whereupon the
Judge discharged them for the term
saying ''yog are utterly incompetent to
sit on jury, and sheriff, summon me a
inry of men Of good moral character"
Sheriff Crowell replied, u don't know
that / could find better jury" Mr..
John e. Woodland said 1T is as good q
jury as we can get in the county" The
affair created a decided sensation, as
it was by far over an average jury, and
his Honor has been severely criticised
by our people Wilson Times.

PARADE, SPEECHES, AND PRE-
DICTIONS THAT MKINLEY
WILL TREAT ALL FAIRLY.

The colored Republicans OF the T.. NJ.
Saunders and w. f. Thomas Campaign
Club last night celebrated Mckinley S
election with a parade and speech-mak-
ing. Despite the bad weather they turn
ed ont in large numbers, and there were
some 200 in line when they marched from
their quarters at Eleventh and @ streets,
preceded by the Union League Drum
Corps of thirty members, led by Capt.
Samuel Bush. They attracted much at
tention as they passed down Eleventh
street to Massachusetts avenue, to Ninth
street to Pennsylvania avenue, to Fiji
teenth street, to Vermont avenue, to
Fourteenth and r streets, and back to
the starting place. On the way they gave
the Post three cheers when they reached
the building, and played an air in front
of Republican headquarters.
Owing to a misunderstanding Mr. w
IT, Thomas, who was expected to adj
dress the club, did not do so, and Mr.. L.
M. Saunders was unable to take part on
account of illness.

New York, Nov 6.-R. G. Dun Il Co $.
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow
win say: A great revolution has been
effected this week in the conditions when
control business. 1t could not be in any
fair degree reflected as yet in transae-
tions or in records, but there is ample eVl-
dence already that crushing weight
has been lifted and rolled away and the
business world has begun to adjust itself
to a state of freedom and security Whlch
it has not known for years
1t was not strictly logical that wheat
advanced five cents, reaching 81 for NO
yember and 80 for December and heavy
realizing of profits showed perception
of the fact. Western receipts were only
COST. $50 bushels against S,O19,9lO last
wear. and Atlantic exports hour lnclud-
ed. were only 1,5SS,35S against l,I90,o55
last wear. A growing disposition appears
among farmers to hold wheat for better
prices than are now realized, although at
present any advance checks buying for
export. Speculation in cotton was also
excited on the theory that mills would
start up, as many have done, and would
meet a large demand for goods. But
the advance was met by realizing sales
and q slight reaction. 1t will be all the
better for business if bright hopes do not
hoist prices too fast.
The election Immediately stlitened
prices of pig iron, which reached Slz
at Pittsburg for Bessemer. A slight adj
vance in sheetings and print cloths IS
the only change which yet appears IN
the market for cotton goods and practl-
cally 10 change has yet appeared IN wool
ems.
Failures for the week have been 230
in the United States, against $50 last
wear and 81 in Canada, against 40 last
year.
New York, Nov. 6.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
Business practically suspended through
the country early this week and there
has been little increase in the volume
since the election, compared with like
periods in preceding weeks. Merchants
generally share the confidence in an ear
Nv revival is indicated by hardening Of
staple prices and the increases in quo
tations in addition to those given in pre-
ceding weeks.
Sales of cotton goods have been freer
and some mills are better employed.
Wooden mills also report more orders and
tendency to prefer higher-cost goods.
Numerous industrials establishments
which have started up within two days
are reported being offered large orders if
they would sell for 1897 delivery at pre-
sent prices.
At a few Northwestern commercial
centres large orders have been received
from country merchants within few
days and in Georgia farmers have met
their obligations this autumn more
promptly than for years past and South
ern merchants and manufacturers are
reported looking ahead confidently to a
marked Improvement in business in the
near future.

EX-SPEAKER WEBSTER ON THE
SITUATION.

We regret to see from our exchanges
this Thursday morning that Mecklen-
burg county has gone Republican and
that Mr. w. c. Dowd is probably de-
feated for Senator. Where is the victory
that the Charlotte Observer was to bring
out of the straight fight? Fusion saved
the State for Bryan, redeemed the Fifth
district, and worked handsomely in 9TH
err quarters. If Cy Watson is defeated,
his blood is upon the heads of the few
but influential Democrats who blocked
the way to fusion early in the campaign.
They said we could win single-handed
and alone and spouted lot of sentiment
about dying in the last ditch, etc. VIII
they not please hurry up with the big
majorities that they promised would
follow obedience to their sweet wills p

past week. and the Hampden-Sydney has
a good record Armstrong. the noted

gininns.
Joel Whitaker, of Raleigh, who was
unanimously elected captain of the Var

The reason of Captain Whitaker's re-
signation was, the doctors advised him
not to play for three weeks OH account Of
his shoulder which is still giving him
trouble He will train one week before
Virginia Thanksgiving game, and will
probably do star work in that game.
The Varsity scrubs have two games
scheduled-one with Wilson and the other
on Thanksgiving with Wilmington. The
scrubs are doing excellent work and
have elected Mr.. Frank Rogers, of Con-
cord, as their captain.
Among those who will line up in Nor
folk tomorrow are: Center, Joyner,
Guards, Bagwell, and Carson; tackles,
Wright, Nevill and Seagle; ends, White
Rogers and Harlee; quarterback,

Or. Leggett's Son Ralph Meets Death
in Terrible Manner.
A most distressing accident occurred
at Hobgood Thursday Of last week.
Little Ralp Leggett was smothered in
n pile Of cotton seed. The other chill
dren were at school and at dinner time
DIR. Leggett went from his Office to the
house and his wife made inquiry for
Ralph. She thought that perhaps he
had been to the office or perhaps to where
the other children were at school She
knew she had seen him about II O'Clock.
In passing the barn as he was going to
the house, DR.. Leggett called some dogs
out and shut the door, but saw nothing
Of the little boy and did not then know
he was missing When he learned at the
house that the child was missing he
searched for him, and after awhile looked
i'm the barn where there was pile Of
cotton seed. Upon entering, the child's
feet were seen sticking mp through the
cotton seed. The children in playing
there had made a deep hole IN the cotton
seed and little Ralph playing there alone
had fallen in headforemost and had
smothored Perhaps if DIR. Leggett had
seen him as he closed the barn door on
his way to dinner he might have saved
him The body was not cold when it
was found, but it could not be resusci-
tated.
1t was a most heart-rending accident
and the stricken parents have the deepest
sympathy Of the entire community

EMPLOYEES who Were Bounced From the
Treasury to Late Growers Thirst.
Washington, Nov. 6.-(SpeciaD-A-
mong the seven men dismissed from the
Treasury Department, was Mr.. j. Madi-
son Leach. of North Carolina, who held
a small position in the Internal Revenue
bureau. He had made no speeches, but
had written much for the papers, and
was pronounced in favor of Bryan. Not
only were men dismissed because they
were for Bryan, out war was also made
on women.
Another dismissal made was that OF
Miss Minnie Mcmillan, of Kentucky,
n clerk in the Office of the supervising
architect but no reason for it is even
surmised except that she is devoted
friend and admirer of Senator Blackburn,
and has possibly sided with him in his
polifical differences with the head of the
Treasury Department
OTHERS BOOKED TO GO.
Other and more important officials
said to be booked for removal in the inn
mediate future are Mr. Bell, of Illinois,
deputy commissioner OF pensions, and
Nj. Baldwin, of Maryland, auditor for
tie Treasury Department, each of whom
has given personal offense to the heads
of their respective departments, and the
President as well, because of their poll
teal activity during the past month or
two. These are both presidential of
fees, and a change in them can be made
only by the President. 1t is said TO be
practically settled that they must go,
but whether they will be dismissed or
allowed to resign remains to be seen.
1t was said at the White House this
afternoon that no action had been taken
lit either case.
Mr.. Doyle, one of the removed men,
said last evening: "All l did was to ex-
cr"ise the right of free speech. | mp

convictions public utterance."
