although the coroner was tele-
graphed for on Saturday, which
carried with il the natural con.
clusion that Lee was dead,
When the sheriff and the cor
oner arrived on the scene. they
found Lee dangerously, if moi
fatally, shot through the head,
the sight Of both eyes being des-
troyed. He was so notorious and
obnoxious a character that nc
one in the vicinity would take
the care of him, and consequently
Sheriff Scott sent him to the
county poor house, where he is
at this writing, but under protest
from county commissioner Mr.
Joe. Pete Smith, who has super
vision Of the poor house and who
claims that Lee is no pauper,
that he has considerable money
on his person, and that his SOD,
after the father was shot, took
several hundred dollars in checks
and money from his pockets aud
skipped, while the deputy sheriff
had gone to reload his pistol,
which be had exhausted in the
fusllade between the son and
father, both Of whom as aulted
him and the son shot him through
tbs lager OF his left hand.
The position Of Commissioner
Smith IS evidently right, aud he
is to be highly commended for
his watchfulness for the county's
interests. There is no room for
or spirit of criticism for Sheriff
Scott, however, who did his best
to secure care for his prisoner on
the scene, but could not.

s. s. EXCURSION.
On to the Capital on the Sth of Septem'
Der, Thursday Week.

Among the many attractions
for visitors to the State Capita
is Pullen Park, and all those who
take advantage of the low rate
of 500 for the round trip to &C
on St. Paul Sunday School Ex>
cursion on the 9TH of September,
will nave ample opportunity &c
visit this Park, as well as many
other places of interest in the
City Of Oaks.
To one who has seen Pullen
Park, the lame opens to memory
visions of many winding. well
made walks; rustic bridges, seats
and summer-houses.
The extensive flower beds,
foliage plants, swimming pool,
swings, lake, and large pavilion
offer a variety of attractions to
tempt the weary and charm the
young.
This Park was the gift CT MIR.
Jno. Pullen. He has identified
himself with the city of Raleigh
in its progress toward all that is
good; and has learned the lesson
of giving while living.
The large number who daily
erjoy this beautiful suburban
park attest in more than mere
words their universal gratitude
and respect for this noble citizen
and benefactor of Raleigh.
Pullen Park is worthy eur best
description; is more than worthy
the personal observation of all
who should avail themselves of
this rare opportunity Tor spends
ing a happy, profitable day.
You will come home on more
friendly terms with yourselves,
and with bountiful Nature, who
is SO generous to Us, after spend
ing a day III this place Of surpass-
ing beauty and interest, aud
drinking Of the cool, sparkling
water which gushes from The
Park spring.
There is a large bath pond in
the park, and those who wish can
obtain bathing suits and take a
dip.
There can be no fraternity
without acquaintance. Nothing
helps towards good feeling and
friendship like the fine old Gus
tom of a Sunday School picnic,
or excursion.
Electric cars running TO the
Park at intervals of 10 or Is
minutes makes every point OF
interest in or about the CITY
easily accessible to the eager
Sights seer. All who care to, can
visit our grand old Capitol, our
wonderful State Museum and
State Library of which each OF
her sitizens should feel justly
proud.
Adjacent to the Park are the
buildings and grounds of the A.
and M. College, another State
Institution that would interest
all, and enable them to say we
have the best State in the Union,
and the best town in the State. .
The able and worthy superin-
tendent of st. Paul Sunday
School is to be congratulated, as
we'll as our entire community, on
the selection he has made in his
effort to provide for them a day
of comfort, rest, recreation and
