HOME FOR AGED NEGROES.
There is Need for Enlarged Accommoda-
tons for Worthy Gases.

The institution for the aged colored
people, situated six miles north of Raj
eigh, is growing in popular favor and
is making decided advancement under
the management of its efficient officers.
This is much needed institution and
its projectors deserve great credit for
their untiring effort to bring this worthy
obpect to public attention. The energetic
manager has not failed to lay before
his people the needs of this cause. 1t is
an institution worthy of the charity of
all.
That some degree of comfort may be
afforded these aged poor in declining
years, fifty seven acres Of land have
been purchased with one frame building
on it. The manager cultivated the farm
this year raising cotton which will aid
very substantially in meeting present OBJ
legations. They contemplate erecting
more buildings as soon as purchase mon
ey is paid, thus charging the accommo-
dation. Many worthy ones desire to go
now but they have not the room.

ROBERTSON ON THE ROADS.
Miss Hester's Seducer Now Serving Gu
His Sentence.

Thomas Robertson, who was sen
fenced to the roads for five years by
Judge Robinson, for the seduction o.
Miss julia Hester, began to serve out
his sentence yesterday
,biIt will be remembered that about a
year ago damage suit was brought by
Miss Hester's father against Robertson
for the seduction. The jury gave Hester
$500. This Robertson refused to pay.
though itos said lie and his family were
amply ablk to do so. But he went tC
Jail rather than pay the Judgment and
later took the insolvent debtors oath.
Then it was that the criminal prose
cutiOn was brought by Miss Hester.
A gain the case went against Robertson.
He appealed to the Supreme court, which
has just handed down a decision sus-
tanning the lower court.
The manner in which Robertson
treated Miss Hester after running her
life aggravated the case very greatly,
and no doubt was the cause for the eX-
treme limit of time being given him by
the court.
Robertson is young man in his
twenties, and but for his family, nobody
would be sorry for him. ~
