CHAMBER or COMMERCE.


Four important matters occupied the
attention of the Chamber of Commerce
last night. and the discussions were
marked by a spirit that means wei for
Baleighs progress.
/ The chamber named comm Ctee to
co-o, crate with the Executive committee
Of the Baptist University in completing
that institution. The value of that
univ ersity to Raleigh, speaking merely
in a material sense, cannot be over
estimated. The whole community ought
to la.ly to the early completion Of what
will g an ornament and a blessing to
Ralc Gh.
.. ne Chamber discussed the methods
of advancing the progress and prosperity
of the capital city and the surrounding
country, and the method to be adooted
for securing a desirable class of iului-
grants to buy the land that is selling for
a song and help to develop our resour ces.
3. The necessity for securing healthy
public sentiment in favor of buying
goods from our home merchants instead
of sending the money off to trade At
other places. 1t was stated +ha5 be-
tween 100000 and 100000 was sent
out of Raleigh annually to buy things
that could be bought just as che&plv an
Raleigh.
4. 1t was decided not to send delegates
to the indianapolis gOld-bug conference.
The Chamber is composed of men Of ali
political creeds and all sorts of financial
views. 1t was the sense of the Cham
Der that inasmuch as the money ques-
ton is the paramount question in poll
tics, the Chamber ought not to send
delegates to any gathering called to fas-
ten the gold standard upon us or to
unfasten it, but to devote itself to the
purposes of its creation.
This action will justify its wisdom.

TO BE TRIED FOR MURDER.
The Slander Case Finished but No Yer

Inc SANDER case tlnlShed but No YER
dict Yet Rendered.
John Groves, the white man who shot
n negro named Wall, at Rolesville, a
year ago, will again be put on trial for
his life this morning.
1t will be remembered that he was
tired at the September term, found
guilty of murder in the second degree
and sentenced to the peniteRtiary for
ten years. AIe appealed to the Supreme
court and was granted a new trial.
Upwards of two score eases were dis
posed of in the Superior court yester-
day. Judge Timberlake and Solicitor
Pou are grinding them out with almost
Hghtning-ike rapidity, and are thereby
saving the county great expense.
The case Of greatest interest on trial
yesterday was that of the State against
Emma Cope, charged with slandering
Mary Summerville. 1t began yesterday
afternoon and was not finished until 10
o'clock last night
Both Of the women are almost
white, and the Summerville woman is
very good looking, both in face and fig

who is a much older woman and of bad
character, wrote letters there charging
the Summerville girl with also being
anything but virtuOus.
Able counsel was engaged on both
sides, and the case was stubbornly
fought. The speech of Solicitor Pou. for
the prosecution, was especially fine.
The jury was unable to decide the
case last night, and at IL o'clock they
were released from the jury room and
disbanded for the night on account of the
sickness Of one of their number.

Raleigh before that time.
Haywood Rogers, the negro who was
charged with an assault with deadly
weapon upon Mr. Thompson, last March,
was found guilty. 1t was found, though,
that he had some prOvOcation. and since
he has been in jail four months, e was

BUNCoMBE COUNTY BONDS.
Mr. Murphy Says the People Are Op
posed to Reputation.


Mr.. J. D. Murphy, of Asheville, who
was here on legal business yesterday,
says that the people of Buncombe coun-
ty strongly condemn the action of the
Board of Commissioners in seeking to
repudiate the bonds issued to build the
Asheville and Spartanburg Railroad.
I'VE are peculiarly dependent in the
West" he said, upon outside capital,
and we have shown to investors here
tofore that their investments in our Sc
curities would be sacredly guarded.
This action, if successful, will give Bun
combe a bad reputation abroad, and
would injure the county many times
more than the saving which the repudia-
tion of the bonds can give them. The
money for the bonds was obtained and
used, and there is no equitable ground
whatever to contest the payment after
all these years.
"There is much condemnation too,' con
tinued Mr.. Murphy, ''of the county COM
missioners for making a secret contract
with the son of the chairman of the
board, and the lawyers, and refusing to
disclose the nature of the contract. The
people are outspOken in criticism of this
method of bringing suits. AS to poll
tics" said Mr. Murphy, II haven't the
slightest doubt that the Democrats
will carry Buncombe county at the cleo
ton this year, and that you will carry
the senatorial and congressional dis
trict."
