FIRE BRICK WILL BE USED
ASPHALT HAS BEEN FOUND TO
"a
BE TOO COSTLY.
CONVICT LABOR TO Be EMPLOYED
Superintendent Smith is Hiring Out the Cor.
victs this Summer in Order to Make the
Pententiary Expenses as Light
as Possible to the State.
as Possible to the State.

The walks through and around the
capitol square areSto be paved -
This much has been practically decided
upon by the Governor and the Board of
Public Grounds and Buildings. s
What material shall be used in the
work, is the only question now. 1t was
at first proposed that asphalt pavements
be put down. But an estimate of the
amount that would be required showed
that it would be very expensive the as
phalt alone costing upwards of $4,000.
This most of the Board considered rath-
err steep.
Now they are considering the idea of
making pavement of brick. Capt. John
r. Smith. superintendent of the peniten-
tiary, is helping them do this. He wants
to furnish the brick and put them down.
He thinks he can give the State per-
fectly smooth pavement and one that will
last for generations.
On account of its cheapness this
scheme is very much in favor with the
Board and will probably be adopted.
Capt Smith proposes to furnish the best
handmade brick at cost and furnish con-
vict labor to do the work for the cost of
guarding and the maintenance of the
men,
If these walks are properly paved it
will be great improvement to the
square. 1t will be remembered that the
last legislature passed bill authorizing
the State to pay half the expense of paw
ing the streets around the square. This
work also is to be done by convict labor.
1t will probably be begun during the
month of September.
Superintendent Smith is trying to Sc
cure other outside work for convicts. AL
ready $50 convicts have been sent to the
Carthage railroad, to build an extension
and a dozen others to Wilmington to
move some machinery. In a few days a
squad will be sent to the gravel pit near
Carthage to get out gravel for the Sea-
board Air Line. 1t is almost certain, al
so, that forty convfcts will be sent down
to Seven Springs, in Lenoir county, to
grade and improve some property recent
ly purchased there by Mr.. Hiram j
Ham, who was here yesterday making
arrangements for the employment of the
,convicts.

BAPTIST CHAPEL DEDICATED.

The Baptist chapel at the Pilot Cotton
Mills was dedicated Sunday afternoon.
All the Baptist ministers of the city were
present. Rev. DR.. J. w. Carter, of the
First Baptist church, read a passage of
scripture, offered prayer and made a
short talk. He was followed by Rev. DIR.
A. Nj. Simms, of the Baptist Tabernacle,
and Mr.. John II. Pullen. Rev. A. l..
Belts, the city missionary, through whose
efforts the church mas been built, then Of
fered his report. He announced that he
building had cost $500, and $3.50 of this
amount had been raised by the naptists
of the city. At the suggestion of n. b.
Broughton the remaining $50 was raised
in cash and pledges by those present.
Sunday school will now be conducted in
the chapel every Sunday afternoon at 4
o'clock. Mr.. J. A. Edgerton, Jr., is super
intendent of the school.

The Doctor says, however, that if he
comes he'll still keep his citizenship in
the First district, so that he can fight
Col. Skinner.
L asked the Doctor what the trouble
was between him and the Spell-binder.
"Oh its the way he's distributing the
patronage" he replied.
Hasn't he given you an Officer
There is no office in Washington I'd
have" he replied, unless it's one that
would pay $4,000 or $1,000 a year"
Later in his conversation he admitted
that Mr.. Skinner had promised to make
him his private secretary and then re-
fused to do it.
II told him he'd regret it. He has ap-
pointed a young fellow there in Wash
ington. He'll find it hard to explain why
he didn't appoint man in his district"
The Doctor is decidedly of the opinion
that Butler and Pritchard have kissed
and made up.

The Rev. DR.. Babb Whetting His Razor
for Some Pop. Politicians.
The Rev. DR.. r. w. Babb, who want
ed to be chaplain of the penitentiary, but
whose reputation proved to be even too
unsavory for the convicts, is in the city.
He has been here for several days, and is
trying to make his arrangements to stay
several days longer-indeed permanently.
The Doctor is the sole owner and ed
itor Of a newspaper called the "Perqui-
mans Record" the only metropolitan
journal in Perquiman's county. Its circu-
ton is an unknown quantity, and its poll
tics more so. But the Doctor, according
to his own labelling, is minority Popu-
list, in favor of fusion and the 99-year
lease. He is therefore dead agin" But
Ter, Russell and all the rest of the gang
on political grounds and against Harry
Skinner, because he won't give him an
office. The Doctor says Butler mas played
him false, has lost all control of his
party, is a dead cock in the pit, a back
number and several other things as
musty and undesirable. He adds further
that Butler has been asked to resign his
Craftsmanship of the National Populist
committee and intimates that if he has
any sense Of decency left in his carcass
he'll do so.
As to Harry Skinner he's not saying
much, but you can hear him half a mile
away, whetting his knife for him. His
"Oh-I-won' t--do-a -thing-for Harry" smile
is more expressive than words. He simply
says Harry will never go back to Con-
gress again. Babb's friends say he's going
to enter the race against Skinner for Con-
gressional honors. On this point, however,
the Doctor is silent.
He says, though, that he is trying to
make arrangements to move his paper to
Raleigh, and he thinks he's about fixed it.
He says it will be for fusion first, last
and all the time, and will preach alto
gether a different sort Of doctrine from
that set forth by the Caucasian.

WILL KELLY'S SLAYER IN JAIL
Tom Dunn Voluntarily Surrenders Him
self to an Officer.

Tom Dunn, the young negro who Sat
urday before last killed another negro,
Will Kelly, at Forestville, is now in Jail.
Since the murder he has been in the
woods, a fugitive from justice. But
yesterday he grew tired Of hiding and
about / o'clock he went to the home
of Deputy Sheriff Norwood, near Neuse,
and gave himself up. Mr.. Norwood
brought him here ON the $3.50 train and
placed him in Jail.
Dunn is bright mulatto, q years old
and seemingly he is very intelligent. He
doesn't look like bad man. He says
this is the first trouble he ever got into
and that he did this in self-defense.
He looks haggard though, says his
rations gave out and he had nothing to
eat in the woods. Rather than slip
from place to place, stealing all he could
find and always feeling that some one
was on his heels he preferred to surren-
der and stand trial.
When he ran away he says he took a
great sack full of provisions. He has
never been very far from his home at
Neuse. He says he was not well &C
quainted with the man he killed and had
no bad feeling against him.
He has retained Argo and Snow as his
attorneys.

The County Board of Education was
in session yesterday.
About the only thing done was to al
low some accounts and fix the per diem
of Rev.H. w. Norris, the County Super
visor, at $3.50 day, for actual service.
Members of the Board get 50 day and
mileage.

ed and qualified except fourteen. OF
these, six Zone negro) have declined to

Supervisor Norris announces that he
is arranging for a meeting, in this city
the latter part of this month, of all the
committeeman in the county. He thinks
of calling it a "Committeeman's Insti-
tute." He thinks he can give them some
valuable points, wise suggestions and
kindle their enthusiasm in the school
work. If this is a success, Mr.. Norris
says he will probably have similar
meeting of all the teachers in the county
But whether he does this or not Mr.
Norris says the grade on examination
will be very appreciably raised. He
thinks there are now many teachers in
the county holding first grade certificates
hardly entitled to second grade. The
only way, he thinks, to have good schools
is to have good teachers. He will not
renew certificates now held. All teach.
ers must stand examination when their
certificates expire.

BISHOP CHESHIRE ABROAD.
English Hospitality to Visiting Bishops
in London.

In private letter from Bishop Cheshire
to friend in this city, we are privileged
to make few extracts. The Bishop is
in London attending the Lambeth Con-
ference, where great assemblage of
prelates of the Anglican Communion,
| representing all parts of the world, are
| gathered. The discussions of the con-
ference are not made public. An ency-
clical to be issued soon after it's ad-
| journment will embody the results Of the
various debates and resolutions. The
Bishop writes: "All our bishops have
but one story to tell of kindness and
courtesy and hospitality on all hands
| from clergy and laity." For the first
| week Of his stay he was entertained by
Mr.. Lydney Gedge, member of Paria-
ment. Afterwards came an invitation
from His Grace the Archbishop of Can
terbury, that he should spend some days
with him at Lambeth, and subsequently
an invitation was received from Lord
Mandell Creighton, Bishop of London,
to be his guest at Fulham Palace. On
Trinity Sunday the Bishop preached at
Gloucester Cathedral and on Sunday,
July Sth, at Woolwich. Sunday, July
18th, he spent as the guest of the vicar
of the parish church, Standardization,
where he celebrated the Holy Commun-
ion at the II o'clock service Bishop
Satterlie, of Washington, being the
preacher), and in the evening preached.
For Sunday, July 25th, he had accepted
an invitation to preach on behalf of the
Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel" at st. Thomas Regent Street
parish church, at Lambeth. in the even
ing. Speaking Of ratford-on-Avon
where the Bishops letter is dated, he
says: "It is not only interesting on ac-
count of it's associations with Shake
speare, but is in itself one of the most
beautiful places, with one of the most
beautiful parish churches 1 have seen
anywhere" After the adjournment of
the conference he will go to Lincoln to
visit Bishop King, returning home soon
thereafter.
