WE'RE WAITING FOR BRODIE.
But the Officers took Him to Henderson
Sunday Morning.

George Brodie, the negro who assault
ed Miss Catlett near Kittrell two weeks
ago, was Sunday taken to Henderson to
stand trial for his crime.
He was quietly taken from the Jail
while the church bells were ringing and
put on the 11:26 SeabOard train, just
outside the shed at the Union depot.
Not half dozen people present knew
what was being done, as it was ex-
pected that Brodie would not be taken
to Henderson until yesterday. Eight
members of the Governors Guard got
on the train, but these, it was supposed,
were going to Ocean View to join their
comrades, who went down Saturday
night.
People along the line were equally as
badly fooled. They expected BrOdie to
be taken to Henderson Saturday night
and the vestibule had been stopped at
townsville, Franklinton and Kittrell
but the rapist was not found. At the
latter place it is said there were 325
men assembled. Sunday morning every
thing along the line was quiet except al
Kittrell, where five men got on. But
TIE military nen ndu Deen purpOSeIy
put in one car and the negro with the de
puties in another, so the men did not
find him.
At Henderson there was considerable
crowd, but the whole military company
was out and no demonstration was made
though the negro was very much ex
| cited and said he expected when ht
stepped off the train to be shot dead
Sunday and Sunday night the Henderson
company did the duty at the county Jail
Ninety-twO men approached the jai
during the night, but were Immediately
ordered away. There was no attempt a

THE PENITENTIARY DIRECTORS
They Meet Tomorrow to Turn Out the
Democrats that Are Left.

The Board of Directors of the peniten-
tiary meets tomorrow afternoon. 1t lis ex-
pected that all the old employees left will
be dismissed and new ones of different
political faith substituted.
Capt. John Smith, the superintendent,
will, it is said, oppose such a step just at
this time, on the ground that in several
instances it will seriously impair the eff
cheney of his force. He says he is willing
and anxious to make changes for politi-
cal reasons when ne can do so without
injuring his own administration of the in
stitution. Further than this he is not will
ing to go.

THE OBERLIN WHITE GAPS.
Their Trial Postponed Again to Allow
Rev. Jones to Get a Lawyer

Rev. Jones to Get a Lawyer.
The trial of the five negro men charged
with white-capping the Rev. Jacob D.
Jones, the Holiness" preacher, has been
again postponed. The Doctor was on
hand at the appointed hour yesterday and
so were all the witnesses. but the Doc
tor and his flock had not succeeded yet
in getting a lawyer to represent his
side of the case, so he asked for a con-
tinuance until next Monday at 10 o'clock,
and his request was granted. There was
large crowd of negroes at the court
house for the purpose Of hearing the trial.
The Rev. Jones says he's fighting the
Lords battle in this thing and he's not
afraid but that he'll be protected. Still
it is a significant fact that he took the
precaution of getting out of town again
at the earliest possible moment. The at
mosphere of Oberlin at this season would
be anything but healthy for the Doctor.

EITHER SUICIDE OR MURDER.


The stomach Of d. b. Boyer, of Davie
county, who was found dead under sus-
picious circumstances, has been brought
here to be analysed for poison.
Roger was a farmer about 80 years
old, and lived about ten miles from
MocksviHe. He fell off his porch dead
about dark Thursday evening. He had
attended the Masonic picnic that day and
had been home only a short time. A
piece of paper was found in his pocket,
which leads to the theory that strych-
nine caused his end. 1t was purchased
from a Mocksville druggist. Domestic
troubles are believed 10y some to have
led Boyer to commit suicide. Boyer told
his brother Thursday that he had as soon
be at the bad place as to live like he
was. Boyer tried to hang himself a few
years ago. He had the rope around
his neck and was swinging when his
father came up and cut him down just
in time to save his life. At another time
he tried to choke himself to death. He
leaves wife and three children.
Because of his domestic troubles some
suspect foul play, and it is for this rea-
son that the stomach is being exam
lined.

that the defendant had not been able TO

Mr.. Edwards submitted two aft1dav-

MODEST ANIMAL OF THE SEA
STRONG PROTEST AGAINST Elk
TERMINATING SEA HERD.
Such Action Gould Not Accomplish
the Desired End-Interesting Re
port of Prof. Starr Jordan.

Washington, Dec. 13-Professor David
Starr Jordan, president of Stanford
University, who was the leading expert
for the United States government in the
seal negotiations here last autumn, has
given his verdict strongly against any
such proposition as that presented in
the bill to be introduced by Represent
ative Jones of North Dakota, looking
TO the immediate killing of all the seals
Oh the seal islands, as the best manner
in which to prevent friction between
the United States and Canada. The re-
port of DR.. Jordan, showing, in a pre-
liminary way, the results of his inves-
legations in Boring sea during the past
season, will shortly be published, and
meantime the following extract shows
his opinion:
''Within the past two years it has
several times been proposed that we
should settle the seal question once for
all by the slaughter of the entire herd
on its breeding ground. 1t is scarcely
necessary to point that this course of
action would not ACCOMPLISH the de-
sired end. AS the animals are never all
present at one time on the island, a
remnant would be left which, in time
would revive the herd, and with it the
whole question.
In the meantime, every objection
which has been urged against pelagic
sealing would be justly chargeable
against such a slaughter. 1t would be
necessary to lie in wait for the females
and kill them as they came ashore on
land to give birth to their young, or to
provide them with nourishment. The
young must be slaughtered wantonly
or else be left to starVe The PROPOSE
ton is an abominable one, without a.
single redeeming feature
THE fur seal is the noblest of all
the animals of the sea. From the nat
uralist's point of view, it is the most
interesting form of life on the earth
From the commercial view, it is one Of
the most valuable. Unlike the buffalo,
the elk, the stag and like animals, it
occupies territory that cannot be used
for any other purpose. Where the for
mer animals once roamed, great cities
have sprung up, but the haunts of the
fur seal would be deserted for all time
if their inhabitants were destroyed.
Though sadly reduced in numbers, a
nucleus of the fur seal herd is still left.
Under favorable conditions it can be
restored. The Pribyloff herd once yield
ed 100000 skins annually worth $2000,-
600 or more, and without injury to it.
self. This would represent a cash
value of 25,000,000. If properly protect
ed, it will again reach this value. These
figures represent a sum too great to be
thrown away in childish spite. To
slaughter the fur seal herds ourselves
because it's preservation is beset by
diplomatic difficulties, in which the
fault has not all been on one side,
would be a confession of impotence I'M
worthy of a civilized nation. 1t would
transfer to the United States alone and
for all time the odium for the destruc-
ton of the fur seal herds
