THE GUN EXPLODED,
And the Young Man Who Fired 1t Was
Probably Fatally Injured.

And the Young Man Who Fired 1t Was
Probably Fatally Injured.
Friday afternoon about o'clock, as
u young man named Joseph Dillon,
aged about 90 years, living on Scherer's
Hill, east of town, was trying q shot
gun, the force of the discharge of the
gun blew out breech pin. The acct
dent was most severe one, and prob
ably fatal, for the pin drove it's way
through the young mans skull, and
entered the brain. The attending sur
geon, DR.. Sloan, removed the pin from
the young mans skull, and pieces of
the bone beside. The young man was
rational after the accident and stood
the ordeal very we'll.
What the outcome of the accident
will be cannot at the time of this writ.
ing be told, but the chances are against
him.
He has hole as large as a half dol
lar in his right temple and a spoonful
of brain matter oozed from the wound
while it was being dressed.

canvasses.
All these displays are seen under the
most favorable auspices there being a
700 light electric plant in the building.
And besides these artistic displays the
Museum, also, is replete with interest.
Among the notable things to be seen is
the famous death-mask of Napoleon, loan
ed by the University of North Carolina.
This is from among the collection pre-
sented by Mrs. Willie Z. Mangum to the
University, her distinguished husband
having had that purpose nm view in the
discriminating selection of these objects
of interest from all parts of the world.
This is one of the three original casts
made at the time of the death of the
great Napoleon. 1t is valued in the
neighborhood of $4,000.
While the attendance has been all that
could have been desired, there is another
unique source of revenue in the peculiar
conditions under which the industrial ex-
hibts were entered. For example, bug
gies, bicycles, stoves, bath-tubs, soaps,
furniture, clothing and, what-not were
offered by merchants and manufacturers
for the benefits of advertising, with the
understanding that these things should be
finally sold for the benefit of the Exposi-
ton.
But it were futile to go further into
the merits of so large an undertaking in a
space so inadequate. The readers of the
News and Observer may find better ac-
count by personal observation ON Mon
day which is Raleigh Day. No provision
for the comfort and entertainment of all

enterprising people. The clubs and homes

A DESTRUCTIVE HAIL STORM.
Cotton Destroyed in Many Sections and
Work of Replanting Going on.

Cotton Destroyed in Many Sections and
Work of Replanting Going on.
Reports received yesterday at the Agri-
cultural department. tell of a terrible hail
storm that visited some sections of the
State last Saturday, doing great damage
to growing crops.
In Arson and surrounding counties il
is said that at least seven-eighths of the
cotton crop was destroyed In some
places the entire crop will have to be
planted over again; in others the work of
replanting is going ON. All grain is a total
loss.
In the lowlands along the Pee Dee
River, where most of the corn is planted,
there was also much damage in places.
Further east, down the Carolina Cen
trail Railroad and on to the coast, the
storm did considerable damage. In On
slow county it is said to have been the
heaviest for many years, and farms that
were resplendent with luxuriant crops
tnat gave very promise or satisfactory
returns, in the brief space of few min
utes were transformed into desolate
wastes. On many farms every vestige of
vegetation was completely destroyed. In
some places every stalk of corn was
stripped of it's leaves, and cotton and to-
bacco could not be recognized as such
after the storm. One party had twenty
three chickens in a shipping crate which
was exposed to tine fury of the storm;
every one of the chickens were killed. In
many places cotton was entirely de-
stroyed and farmers are ploughing the
land for the purpose of replanting.
DIR. Thompson tells me the hail was ac-
companied by terrific wind storm.

GOV. RUSSELL'S VIEWS
ON LYNCHlNG.
The Mobs Who Attack Jails Should Be
Shot Down."

L lic MINUS w no altdck Ju1IS should be
Shot Down"
Ihe lynchingS of the past week have
been subject of much comment here.
And ut is a matter of pride that there has
not been lynching in North Carolina in
the past two years, and very few in its
whole history.
Asked his views on the subject of
lynchings and the way to prevent them,
Gov. Russell yesterday said:
THE way to end lynch law is to re-
move the excuse for it. 1t is no instifica-
ton to say, what is not denied, that in
many cases the victims deserve what they
get. Barbarian brutes who commit
nameless crimes must be killed quick.
But let it be done under the forms Of
law. Let there be none Of the laws de-
lay. Give the Executive the power to
call a court instanter Order a judge by
telegraph to the courts Of rhe crime. Try
the criminal; if proper for an appeal con-
vene the appellate court on shortest pos
sible notice, send down the judgment and
instantly perform its mandates. Scarcely
a case of mob murder Of q guilty culpr:t
has occurred wherein he would not have
been convicted by judge and jury In
most cases the lynchings have been at
tributable to a spirit of lawlessness.
"Mobs who attack jaIls,' he added.
should be shot down. None of them are
innocent. Lawless mobs must be made to
know that this is a land of law"

in front of Petersburg, Va, under pecu

to obtain the sword that was taken from
him at the time of his capture.
According to Maj. Burrage, he. on that
day went beyond his own line to ex-
change papers with Confederate soldier
who claimed to be the major of the Sec
ond Mississippi regiment. In the ex-
change he received three Richmond na-
pers for one northern paper. This being
considered rather a one-sided affair Mai
Burrage promised to return in the after
noon and bring another paper. This he
says he did, but could not find his Con-

TROOPS GOING TO NASHVILLE
Several Companies Will go This Summer
TREAT Preparations for Them.

Permission was yesterday asked of the
Governors of South Carolina and Georgia
for North Carolina troops to pass thronpb
these two States, en- route to the Nash.
vile Exposition.
Though it is not yet known Just what
companies will go it is probable that
some ten or twelve will attend during
the summer, at such times as they may
hnd most convenient. The Hornets Nest
Rifles, of Mecklenburg, will go on the
1Ith, and others have indicated their
intention of going later.
1he hotel and railroad rates for mill
tary companies is very low and the Adj
Jutant General and officers of the State
Uuard nope that as many as possible will
take advantage of it. Col Eugene Har-
reh, the Quartermaster General, saws
that while in Nashville recently with the
governor, he inspected the company ar
rangement for visiting troops and found
them IN every way most satisfactory. The
camps are excellently located and the
) bathing facilities best for troops he has
ever seen. And the fare, both as the
quality and variety, is excellent and is
furnished at a cost per man of 80 cents
day. Therefore, troops who attend
will find good accommodations at mod
crate cost.
The visit of the Governor and his staff
to the Exposition, Maj. Hayes thinks,
Will do the State of North Carolina
great deal of good. Il feel proud of the
manner in which the State was repre-
sented," he said, "and the cordial man.
ner in which the Governor and has staff
! were received, and the great attention
