MIND DISORDERED.
Alley Journigan, of Franklin, Released
From Prison.

Alley Journigan, convicted of perjury
at the October term, 1896, of Franklin
Superior court, and sentenced to three
years in the State prison, was pardoned
yesterday. The Governors reasons for
pardoning are:
''All the jurors who tried this case
write letters asking for the pardon.
Mr.. +. S. Spruill was employed by the
private prosecutor to prosecute this man
and secured his conviction upon which
he was sentenced to three years in
the States prison. Mr.. Spruil certifies
that he is profoundly satisfied that the
man ought to be pardOned, that he sim
cerely believes that he is not in his right
mind and thinks that he was not so at
the trial. Mr.. Spruill has no interest,
pecunary or otherwise in procuring this
PARDON, save in obtaining what ne be-
lieves to be an act of justice and right
The pardon is also recommended by
Hon. Charles M. Cooke, several mer-
chants and other leading men. 1t also
appears by the certificates of reputable
physicians in Franklin county, among
them DIR. Foster, superintendent of
Health of Franklin county, that the
prisoners mind is disordered. 1t also
appears that the prisoner has friends at
home who are able to provide for him
and that will not be a charge upon the
community. The trial Judge, Graham,
recommends the pardon"

SWORD RECOVERED.

Major III. S. Burrage, of Portland,
Maine, has at last recovered his long
lost sword about which he wrote Gov
ernor Russell some time since.
The sword was taken from Major
Burrage at Petersburg November 1,
1864, when that officer was captured
while trying to exchange newspapers.
The sword was taken by Lieutenant
league, Of this State. 1t drifted to
Missouri and was in use in a Masonic
Burrage recovered it.
The following Letter was received by
the Governor from Maj. Burrage:
Hon. Daniel L. Russell, Governor of
North Carolina:
MY Dear Sir:-Yesterday | received
my long lost sword. | enclose an ac-
count of the same which may be of in
terest to you. You can hardly imagine
with what feeling | took the sword
again in my hands after so many years
Wartime memories crowded upon me,
and upon the scabbard were still the
stain of blood which came from wound
| received at the battle of Cold Harbor
wish to thank you and all the other
North Carolina friends, among them
Quartermaster General Harrell, for
your kindly assistance in my search for
the sword. If ] had not recovered the
sword / should have been well repaid
for my trouble by the interesting and
most kindly letters which | received,
and especially by the evidences they
furnished that we are brethren, mem
bers of a common country in heart and
purpose under one flag.
VERY truly yours,
HENRY S. BURRAGE.

DICK MORSE TO LEAVE.

Yesterday the peculiar little organ
which has dispersed music from the rear
OF the Gospel Wagon as Dick Morse
drove up and down the streets of Raj
eigh for the past week, was expressed
back to Winston. There was one little
tag on it bearing the inscription: tom.
Winston, n. c." However, the Gosnel
Wagon was not without music, for. as
Dick Morse slowly drove through the
dust-clouded streets of the city yesterday
afternoon, Musician Hege was at his
accustomed place industriously striking
the keys Of a minute organ which, al
though it was not so gorgeous in ap
pearance as it predecessor and could by
no means be termed an instrument of
thousand strings, yet in contrivance il
was not a whit less ingenious than the
other organ.
Dick Morse told a reporter yesterday
that he was we'll pleased with Raleigh.
He has exhibited pictures and preached
several times behind the court house,
Mt the Pilot Mills, at the Caraleigh
Mills and in East Raleigh. He says,
however, that he enjoyed his visit to
the State prison last Sunday most
Good order has prevailed at his services
except when he.preached the first night
at the court house. He was informed
that the Mayor sent the man who caus-
ed the disorder to the roads for thirty
days, and Dick Morse seemed to regret
this very much. "My work." he said,
sis to keep people out of trouble and
not to get them in trouble" He will
leave here next Monday and drive
through the country to Goldsboro
He may make a few short stops along
the route.

NORTHERN EDITORS COMING.

Mr. Frank Haywood, in the last issue
of Southern Progress, speaks of the re-
sutant effect of the visit of the New
Jersey editors to the Seaboard Air Line
section of the South. He says that it
has been viewed with general satisfac-
ton. and that he has been requested
to bring several more parties South.
"The first of these" says Mr.. Hey
wood, twill be the Junita Valley Edi-
tors Association of Pennsylvania, and
the gentlemen of that organization
have been rendered a special train on
the Seaboard Air Line, and special ac-
commodations on the Old Bay Line
steamship line, for the week Of October
4. The party will visit Old Point, Nor
folk Portsmouth, and Southern
Pines, N. G. The Juniata editors re-
semble my New Jersey party in being
wide-awake, and ones who know en-
terprise when they see it. You can de-
pend upon it, that upon their return
home their reads will have AN en-
larged knowledge of the SOuth's great
ness, and which they, in turn, will I'M
doubtedly spread to Americas advant-
age and profit.
THE visits of the Northern editors to
the South are the results of the Sea
board Air Lines generous policy. !
certainly hope they will result in a ma
terial success highly gratifying to the
management which supports policy of
Hberality, rather than robbery. The
Seaboard Air Line is to the travelling
public, as well as to the industrial in
terests of its own people, one of the
greatest beneficiaries Of the South. The
Old Bay Line Steamship Company,
which is operated in connection with
the Seaboard Air Line, is undoubtedly
one of the best known lines in the
world. Its steamers are fit for king
to travel upon. Taking it altogether, is
it any wonder that passengers from the
North buy their tickets nowadays by
the Baltimore and Ohio, Old Bay Line
and Seaboard Air Line?"

The Democrats arc evidently having

report of the proceedings Of the Senator'S
State Convention which met In For s

Sun says the convention strad lies the f.

Graded in events and the following Is the
creed set forth by the convention of the
Democratic party:
The preservation of personal liberty.

Freedom OF conscience.
The reserved rights Of the States:
And the supremacy of tho Federal gov

stand as the best and only guarantee VI
the perpetuation OF free institutions.

man this year and takes up the fight again
against the German element. 1t says: :

yesterday B. T. Kivett and W. W.
Kivett were shot and killed by W.

feeling had existed between the Ktvett

growing out of charges made by the
relatives of Lamden and a sister of the
Kivetts. The shooting between the
brothers and Lamden occurred during
the busiest part Of the day when the
office was crowded, and 1t caused in
tense excitement. Two more of the

proceeded to the scene of the shooting
threatening to kill Lamden, but they
were not allowed to enter. The killing
Is universally looked upon as justifi-
