COUNTY CONVICT PARDoNED.
His Physical Condition is Very Bad
Convicted of EmbeZzlement.

Ills IIlNSlcal 0OnufUlOn is very BAD
Convicted of Embezzlement.
The Governor yesterday afternoon
granted pardon to NJ. r. Smith, con-
victed of embezzlement at the Septem-
Der term, 1897, of Harnett Superior
Court. He was sentenced to four months
in the county Jail.
The prosecutor and the prisoner Were
respectively landlord and tenant. The
landlord boarded with his tenant and
agreed to furnish hmm supplies to make
crop. In April, 1896, the landlord
shot the prisoner from which he has
suffered much. Ihe landlord fled the
State and the prisoner instructed his
helpless family to use the provisions of
the landlord. For this the prisoner was
convicted of the enlightenment of some
corn. meat and lard; at the instance of
the landlord, it appears, who sought
to mitigate his own Offense. The pris-
oner's family raised Il crop and offered
to nay the landlords agent who refused
to receive payment
The pardon was asked by Sheriff
Pope. Mr.. ID. II. Senter, of the Secreta-
nv Of States office and several hundred
other citizens of Harnett county, and
the prosecutors attorney offered no oh,
lection.
In granting the pardon the Governor
saws: The prisoner has never been
lodged in jail on account of his physical
condition and on account of this now
and the punishment he has suffered
from his wound, the pardon is granted
upon the condition precedent that he
pay all the costs in the case"

Capitalist Wants to Operate Mill in

Several weeks ago the News and OBJ
server was furnished a statement by
Governor Russell concerning the cot

New York paper and now he has receiv-
ed from the Consular Agent at G1ben,
Germany, letter regarding the present
state of affairs.

reply. The following is the ConsuPs
letter:
Guben, Germany. Feb. 10th, 1898.
To the Governor of North Carolina:
Dear Sir: An article lately received
from my father, gives some very inter
esting figures furnished by you to a
New York paper. As native of North
Carolina i was naturally proud of the
rapid development of business in my ma
tive State, and showed the article to a
German friend of mine, who has lately
returned from South Africa.
He is man of some capital, and as he
is looking out for a chance to invest,
has become greatly interested in the
cotton mill business of North Carolina.
He desires me to write to you and find
out HOW HlucH capital IL WOulQ nPeu 10
start on a small scale and a good place
FOR commencing such business. Also,
if it will be difficult to get labor and
some one as manager, who thoroughly
understands the work. My friend, Mr..
Lehman, is business man and speaks
English thoroughly: and as he is re-
lated to the richest mill owners in this
town, mis- influence might later bring
much capital into our beloved State.
Please answer promptly, as he has
been thinking of returning TO South
Africa and is tired of being idle. Any
information printed matter, &c. which
you may send, will be used to the best
advantage. | formally lived in HillsbOro
and thought of writing to Major Gra-
ham, but decided it would he better to
write to you as the Chief Executive OF
the State, although l am personally I'M
known TO you.

Your obedient servant

An Indictment for Riyamy.

Jeffersonville, Ind.-Emmet w. Cate
has been indicted by the grand jury
of the Clark Circuit Court for bigamy.
The action is based on the fact that he
married Mary F. Wallace in this city,
while he still had an undivorced wife,
living in Kentucky. He was arrested
in Louisville September 10, and re-
NAMED in jail there until yesterday,
when Capt Apologize brought him to
this city
He made no objections to coming to
this state, and chatted pleasantly with
the officer. On the way over he said
he had no recollection of marrying the
Wallace woman, and he claims that he
was drugged No attempt will be made
by Cate to deny the correctness of the
records. and his only defense will be
that he was unconscious of his sur
roundings when the ceremony was per-
formed.

She disappeared suddenly at that time.
The woman was seen tonight in a res

When questioned she declared she
had never been in Chicago; that her
home was at Mount Sterling, Ky, and
her name Mclaughlin. She has the

He loved her, He loved her,
Oh. what earthly happiness could lie

She could not speak; but she looked

And Day made no resistance, but bur-
