Captain James E. Lawton, who is in

Company, was here today on his way
to Wilson'S Mills, Johnston county, to
look at iron ore. He is now getting out
ore at Ore Hill and at Chapel Hill. AT
the former place the ore is brown
hematite and is in large deposits. One
CT these is sixty feet deep. The ore
at Chapel Hill is red hematite and is d
true vein. The output there is now
only twenty tons day, but in few
weeks will be 100. 1t is said the ore at
the Ore Hill and Chapel Hill mines il
as rich as that at Cranberry, the three
being the best in the state. Most Of
the ore now used at the iron and steel
works comes from Blacksburg, S. c.,
but North Carolina will soon furnish it,
The output of the Cranberry mine, 500

Governor of that City
Washington, September 23-Brigadier
General Ludlow, military governor of
Havana, has submitted a report to the
war department covering the work of
the past year, with recommendation
for come changes in the present sys-
tenn. He suggests an apportionment of
the surplus customs revenues among
the several departments. An increase
OF the local revenues is urged, and, to
accomplish this, General Ludlow pro-
poses an increase of the taxes on real
estate Of rom s. to II per cent. A gen.
eral revision of the tax system is re-
quired, the present system being de-
fective and probably corrupt, in the
opinion Of the general. General Lud-
low also points out that the civil gov
ernor of Havana now discharges many
functions which should be left to the
local administration that there should
be some police courts, and that in all
changes care should he taken to re-
spect the individuality and autonomy
of each province.

appealed, the supreme court granting
for safe keeping. He was today taken
to Dallas, seven miles of the distance
through the country. This is a notable
case. Supreme court held there was no
premeditation, and unless there is
new evidence it is impossible to con-
vict him of murder in the first degree.
This is the only case in which all five
justices wrote an opinion, two being
especially warm in language.
Investigation of the charges of cruel
ty against the penitentiary farm su-
pervisor, Summerell, ended this after
noon. Summerell's counsel, r. B

make argument for him.
superintendent Day asserts that the
publication Of the evidence and the po-
sition taken by newspapers is demor-
alizing the convicts and relaxing disci-
pline and will require it to be twice as
severe as heretofore, and that the con
victs have the idea that the state in
tends to abolish whipping. Chairman
Brown, Of the investigating committee
says this is inaccurate; that there is
no purpose to stop proper whipping
but to prevent cruelty.

other candidates on the state ticket
have taken time by the forelock, and
ina manner entirely unprecedented and
Illegal, have called together the COM

While this is unwarranted and unlaw-
full; shall make no objection to it and
hope NO one else will. Should there be

Il write more in sorrow than in an

with me for you, mingled with some
pity for your weakness, immeasurable
and unutterable contempt for your
want of frankness and truth. 1t will
be unnecessary for me to say or do
more; for at the polls in November the
people of the state will administer to
you such rebuke as will be sufficient
punishment for all that has transpired.
Very truly,

spur or switch from Currie to the bat
tie grounds, also to build a shed for
the protection of visitors from bad
weather, as the pavilion here is not
sufficient to chelter large crowd.
