Staff.
The News and Observer said yester-
day morning:
AT the executive meeting last
night there was again much talk but
nothing done.
Most of the talking was done by
Capt. Day, who was neither invited
nor expected to be present"
When the directors of the States
Prison met at that institution yester-
day morning Mr.. Fred l.. Merritt, a
member of the staff of this paper, was
present as its representative.
Capt. Day was present also and in
the presence of the directors asked
Mr.. Merritt when THE News and OBJ
cerver was going to quit telling lies
on him."
Mr.. Merritt asked his meaning, and
he replied that the statement that he
was not invited to TO be present at
the meeting the night before was a
lie.
Mr.. Merritt replied that the state
ment was made on the authority OF
members of the board, and that il
there was any lack of truth in il
neither he nor this paper was respon-
sible.
Capt. Day continued to stride NJ
and down the room minging the
word ''lie" freely with his talk. Mr.
Merritt approached him and said:
Capt. Day, we may as well under
stand one another; if you say that
! printed the statement knowing it to
be false, you are a liar Capt. Day
made a move to strike Mr.. Merritt
who thereupon struck him several
times in the face, when members OF
the board interferred and they were
separated, Capt. Day swearing vigor-
ously during the process.
Such was the statement of the
affair given by members of the board
Mr.. Merritt declined to make any
statement in regard to ii for pilbiica
ton, and Capt. Day was, Of course
not seen.
Members of the board confirmed the
statement made in yesterdays paper
as to Capt. Days attending without
being invited.

morning and the mayor warned him
that he better get out of town or he
would be arrested. The fellow turned
on Charlie and abused him like pick

fellow got through. 1t was the mayors
inning then and Deputy Marshal Muir
took the fellow in tow, and His Honor

dun things, but understand that they
are peculiarly destructive to human
