aroused the occupants of the overhead
rooms. Among the women there was
considerable excitement, as they has

by an oil stove, left burning in the
basement by the porter, who cleans

authorities. We have no desire or inten-
tions to interfere with or thwart the
progress and process of law. However,
being fully cognizant of the testimony
and evidence given and adduced in the
case of Reuben Barbee, charged and in
dicted with the murder OF VIM. Cole, do
hereby enter our deliberate dissent and
protest against the verdict mot guilty,
rendered by the jury, January d, 1897,
as not in accordance with evidence as
publicly given before the court. And we
do moreover depreciate the verdict as
violating the popular sense and senti-
ment Of justice, as conducive to and en-
couraging crime and as disastrous and
damaging the good name and reputation
OF our county.
Resolved, That the verdict in the
aforesaid case was rendered possibly by
defect or in the methods and procedure
in selecting our jurors and that the chair
man of this meeting appoint n committee
of five citizens to draft bill aiming to
remedy the same and present it to the
Legislature, now in session"
Motion to adopt the resolution meet
with at least a hundred seconds. When
put to the house by Chairman Southgate,
it was adopted by an AYE" vote that
fairly shook the court house from center

meeting Loud calls were made for Mr..
Green and he made his appearance upon
the platform. He spoke for ten minutes
in commenting upon the true intent and
meaning OF the resolutions. Said the meet
ing was not mob, did not believe in mob
law, but that Durham people intended to
stand by and uphold all who were striv-
ing to have the law enforced.
Loud and prolonged calls were made
for Mr. George w. Watts, which were
kept up till he responded. He made
most admirable speech of "A few minutes
and was cheered to the echo.
1t was the most enthusiastic meeting
that was ever held III Durham. Every
available space in the court house was
filled and many turned away for want
of room.
In accordance with the resolution Mr..
Southgate appointed the same committee
that drafted the resolutions to memorial
ize the legislature with reference to the
law regulating the selection of jurors.
Our motion, the chairman, Mr.. South
gate, was added to the committee. The
meeting then adjourned.

ever held by Judge o. H. Allen. The

fore his coming, but now they know of
their own personal knowledge and can
testify without fear of being interrupted
with an objection that the testimony is
hear-say. Everybody, lawyers, officers
Of the court, jury, suitors, spectators,
are pleased with Judge Allen, on or off

who had to go to the penitentiary or
work house could not complain of his

wisely. He will have two more terms in

Never before during the history Of Dur
ham county has there been so much crit
lcIs:n of the action OF a jury as the verdict
of tae Barbee jury has elected. The cool
est heads were excited, and in terms that
could not be misunderstood, expressed
their condemnation Of the verdict. No
body: seemed to be prepared for such n
result. Yesterday evening, last night,
and all during the morning there was talk
of an Indignation meeting, so that the

A 100000 BRIDGE.
The Repeal of the No Fence Law Would
Ruin Halifax Farmers

Weldon, N c., Jan. 23.-(Special)--
INte question of placing a bridge over the
Roanoke river here for vehicles is again
being agitated and the matter will be
submitted to vote Of the citizens of the
town. The bride it is said, will cost $780,
600. Many of the larger property owners
are opposed to issuing bonds for the pur-
pose Of building it,
A large force of hands are at work on
Roanoke avenue grading for the railroad
track to be run from the main line Of
the Raleigh and CASTOR railroad to the
factories at Roanoke Rapids, distance
of two miles. The chief engineer Of the
Seaboard Airline has made the surveys
and it lis learned that the road will be
built early this spring.
The farmers of Halifax county are
worked up TO the highest pitch ON the
fence question, and should the legisla-
ture repeal the no fence law it would
ruin the farmers of the county. Ex-
Senator Gordwyn, former leader of the
Republican party and a large farmer
sand to me to-day that if he had to restore
his fences he would abandon the idea OF
a crop. That there is no timber in his
section, and with great yehemence he
said, mo man wants fences again as no
one Will vote for them except negroes
who do not own foot of land
A prominent colored farmer of the
county, and one of the newly elected
magistrates also said that not single
farmer, white or black in his section OF
Halifax county wanted to return to the
fence law. ''Its just impossible" he said,
Ito restore them now"
And this is the consensus of opinion
among all classes of property owners in
in the county.

that one drink of whiskey is enough, two

ing whiskey is a business by itself. 1t is,
moreover, a jealous business that doesn't
want you to do anything else. You must

AN ANCIENT CITY.

Colonel G. N. West, of Savannah,
has discovered in an old volume a
statement of the existence of the ruins
of an ancient city on "Demetrlus ISL
and" on the coast of Georgia. The
book in which the statement is made
is the report of DeBrahm, who was
royal surveyor of Georgia in 1853. No
"Demetrius Island" is, however, on
the coast of Georgia.
Ancient ruins were, however, un-
earthed on Jekyl Island number OF
years ago, consisting of the founda-
lions of an extensive house. Whether
Jekyl was at one time known as De-
metrius or whether entirely different
ruins were referred to by the royal
surveyor is an open question.
