The terrible murder Of the night

Southern Railroad, at Salisbury, Is
still fresh in the public mind. i ne

Ito warm" and while sitting by the
fire with the Waterman, suddenly
turned on him and murdered him. il
was murder ia cold blood. The me-
groes afterward rified several boX-cars
standing on q track nearby. w. III.
Hampton has been identified as the
man who committed the murder, and
Governor Carr offers hundred dollars
reward for his capture.
Governor Carr will recommend TO the
Legislature that suitable appropria-
ton be made for North Carolina ex-
hibit at the Nashville Exposition. Most
Of the Southern States viii have build
ings at Nashville. The exposition has
been postponed. Notification was re-
ceived yesterday from the managers
stating that the exposition viii not be
opened until May LIST, 1897. 1T will
last six months. The holding Of the
exposition this year would probably
have heen unwise; following SO soon
on the heels Of the Atlanta Fair. There
can be too much OF good thing North
Carolina was not in it at all at the

were ashamed of the poor showing the
State made. We will have an oppor-
tunify to redeem ourselves at Nash
Vile.
Il project is on foot TO erect hand
some monument TO the memory Of the
late George Peabody, the great philan-
thropist who gave so literally to the
cause of education in the South Each
of the twelve Southern States is asked
to give 81 500 to the monument fund.
South Carolina, whose legislature is
now in session, has just made the APP
preparation, and is the first of the
Southern States to move in the matter.
Governor Carr will probably recon-
mend to the legislature that this State
appropriate the amount asked for.
Governor Carr will recommend to
the legislature that proper action be
taken to protect the song birds Of the
State. All through the South the move
ment to protect the song birds, whose
melody adds SO much to our spring
and summer, is spreading, on account
of the threatened extinction of the
feathered warblers. The knocking bird
is ia some sections fast passing away,
and steps must be taken at once to
protect this prince of all songsters.

THE MILL IN TEXAS.
Discussed in Raieigh--The Event to Be
"pulled Off" Here Monday Night.


Il was surprised at Bob Fitzsimmons
knocking Maher out of the ring. was
a Maher man. said Latin, the pugilist,
yesterday. Il believe now that red
headed Bobbie boy can just knock the
hIoomin' props from under the boy
you call Corbett. If those two got
into mill you wouldn't see any OF
these one and a half minute pushes.
nat would be fight for ye. But
that Fitzslmmons-he he's peach, he is.
Ii just takes one o. them red-headed
ducks to win, it does" you know
I've got a red-head myself" said the
Professor OF Pugllism, with a ten
penny wink.
Everybody was interested in the fight
yesterday.
Everybody was telling his neighbor
and his neighbors wife what an aWfui
thing it was for the authorities to iu-
low the affair 10 occur, and the prize
lighters were called brutes all over
town.
But all the same, everybody wanted
to know who won," and there were
many readers of the News and Obser-
yer bulletins that told how Fltzslm-
mons knocked out Peter Maher in just
one minute and thirty-five seconds.
And while people talked Of the Tight
in Texas, they also spoke OF the event
to be pulled off, at the Academy OF
Music next Monday night. Latin an
nounced yesterday that another event
had been added to the list. Billy
Baker, who calls himself the Montana
Thunderbolt,' will go up against Lar
lin in a glove contest for points.
The main event on the programme
is a "go'' between Latin and local
boxer. The name of the local light
isn't given out yet, but he is sad TO
be a railroad man who will put up q
rafting good fight.
The militia will hardly be called out
by Governor Carr, to pull the Academy
and squeleh the show.
This is not the kind Of prize-fight
that Governor Carr says should be
prohibited in every State in the Union.
And Latin even says it's an educa-
tional entertainment.

i SWING AROUND THE CIRCLE.

ssSince left here have been through
Virginia, Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Mississippi Louisiana, Ala
balna, Georgia, South Carolina and
back to North Carolina again" said
Capt. w. w. Carraway, who landed
here Yesterday. He is now travelling
for the Riyerview Knitting mills, Tar
boro, of which John +. Shackleford is
proprietor. 1.-THE finest and best equip
ned farms on earth are between Baton
Rouge and New Orleans. The farmers
through the Mississippi Valley have
plenty of money; they plant long sta
ple cotton, and this year got twelve to
fourteen cents for it. Some OF the
farms down there have more build
incs on them than there are houses IN
the town of Snow Hill The farmers
in Bolivar county, Miss, and Madison
Parish, La, if freights were not too
high, would do a good business ship
ping their soil to North Carolina. Yet
with all that, Eastern North Carolina,
my own, my native land has many
over all of them. But North
Carolina is worse mixed politically
than any other State / visited"

home, tired sick, discouraged and VOW ing that, never. as long as 1 lived, would l sing again is public. While was rest ing there in Chicago, the manager of the BoStonians came to see me to talk on en- gagement. Agnes Huntington was the contralto of the company at that time, but the BoStonians wanted me to replace her. l. said "no,1A point blank l had tasted of the trials and tribulations of the life Of public singer, and my mind was made up; nothing again would make me leave the comfort and peace and seclu- sion of home. Then the manager came to see me again, and I yielded. That season 1 joined the Bostonians and now have been with them for seven years.
 "I really do not know how many roles I have filled .sincesI began to sing" said Mrs. Davis, when asked about the operas in which she had appeared. You know, the Bostonians have sometimes produced grand opera, for we have sung I'll Tro-
 vatore," Carmen" "The Bohemian Girl,' "Pygmalion and Galatea, flor it was in that perhaps, that won my big gest success. Then while l was with Patti I sang the role of "Seibel' in Merry Wives of Windsor" "Lakme" and Les Hugenots." Oh, I must have sung in forty operas at least.
 'As told you, I started out determined to appear in nothing but grand opera,
 but I have gradually become converted
 The public wants something lighter, yet full of music and we seemed to fairly hit their taste when we found Robin
 Hood" which is so beautiful and so mu-
 sical that I think it will be added to the list of operas which live from genera
 tion to generation
 A few days ago an intimate friend of Jessie Bartlett Davis, in speaking of her personality, said that although she was a great singer with a famous past, yet if she had no wonderful gift one would love her just the same for her tender generous nature. And although a great singer comes only once in lifetime. the world is all the happier when the gift of song is bestowed upon a true-hearted woman.
