Murder IN Pitt.

Mr.. r. G. Turnage, who elerked for
his uncle, Mr.. T. L. Turnage, near
Farmville, Pitt county, was murdered
Tuesday night of last week. Il seems
that the young man, aged about -,
was alone in the store, and after the
murder the store was burned, hut the
body OF the young man was sayed from
the flames.
The Greenv,lle Reflector said:
"The young mans head was almost
seyered from the body, there being a
terri Die cut on the throat and another
On the back of his neck. There we're
also several cuts about the temple,
shoulder and on the hands. The young
mans night clothes were nearly torn
off and his feet were bruised as if trod
upon, al! indicating that he had made
a desperate struggle with his assailant.
The body being so horribly mntiated
was an awful spectacle.
''The store and all contents were en-
tlrely consumed by the fire, not a pen
ny's worth being saved from the build
ing. The books had been Left out of
the safe when the store was closed last
night, and they were also destroyed.
Mr.. Turnage's loss is estimated at
$4,000 to $4,000 and he had no in
surance on either building or stock"

When the plot is fully ripe, sol
diers in the army will be allowed
10 vote, and their officers will be
candidates for Congress, and even
the presidency. The rest will be
easy sailing. Under such con.
ditions a Major General will have
about 10000 votes to start with,
and when once assembled our de-
Lucrative bodies busted with the
arduous duties Of saving the coun-
try, the marble halls will glitter
with gold lace and echo the elang
Of swords and spurs, and then in
stead Of the country, the army
must be aaved, its prestige main
tanned and its power perpetuated
To prevent the elimination of this
plot, and the only way in which il
can be done, is to elect men to Con.
sress who respect the oath Of Office
and the constitution. The case Of
Gen. Joe Wheeler merely shows
how military pomp and glamour
may get away with n mans discre.
ton. If one man may hold two
Offices in pls;n violation OF the con.
stitution, why may not he, or some
other man hold three, or doz en- I
But Gen. Wheeler has not done
himself as much discredit as those
congressman who admitted the
mandate of the constitution in the
case in question, violated theiI
oaths to curry favor with army
