Correspondence of The Messenger.)
Mount Olive, N. c., April 10.
1 regret very exceedingly that it be-
comes my sad duty to announce the
of Mr.. David William Kelley,
which sad event occurred at this place
Friday night at IL o'clock. He was
as we'll as usual until $3.50 o'clock. He
boarded at the Stevens hotel and short
ly after supper he felt sick and decid-
ed to walk some to see if he would not
Don get better n he went in at Mr..
F. J. Lambeth's on the next corner
from the hotel, and he began to get
worse until his death, which was only
about three hours later.
Mr.. Kelley had been subject to SYM
toms of heart failure for about a year
and a half, and was aged about 81
"a He was unmarried and leaves an
estate worth from S. 900 to 5000.
His remains were taken to Clinton
Saturday, where they were inferred at
the family burying ground, about five
miles from Clinton, Sunday.
The deceased had been a resident OF
Mt. Olive for about thirty years, where
he had numerous friends, who will be
heart-stricken to hear of his death.

Discovered by q woman

Another great discovery has been
made, and that, too, by a lady in this
country. Disease fastened it's clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood it's severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
h coughed i~ncessantly, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way to
recovery, by purchasing of Us q bottle
Of DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, and was so much relieved
on taking first dose, hat she slept
all night: n with two bottles, has
been absolutely cured. Her name is
Mrs. Luther LutZ." Thus writes w. c..

Raleigh, n. c., April IL.
Some weeks ago mention was made
of the plan of the republicans to get
rid Of Governor Russell, who is so
odious TO them. by getting him a gov
eminent place at Washington. The plan
is TO get James z. Boyd, not Ewart,
appointed judge; to appoint his as
sistant to succeed him in the depart
ment of justice and then to have JUS
sell take the place Of the assistant.
This would give Russell a footing in
Washington, Sc he could later practice
law there. He a avowed his inten-
ton not to return TO Wilmington to
live. Last week he went to New York
from Washington, it is said, 70 see his
former law partner, with a view to as
pertaining if there was any opening
in New York. 1t is said that matters
did not go to suit the governor at
Washington, as to the office, etc, and
hence the trip to New York. The re-
publicans are loading their guns for
Russell and will make things lively
for him at their next convention.
The corporation commission did not
last week pass upon the question of
freight n passenger rates, but is
sued notice to the various roads within
the state to file a schedule Of present
rates in effect in thirty days, as re-
quired by law. AS soon as these are
filed the matter will be considered fur
Their.
Vaccination goes on very slowly.
There are nc new cases of smallpox.
The two negroes who have the disease
are in the pest house.
The rain here last Friday was the
heaviest since last May. A small stream
| barely ten feet wide ordinarily, rose
so rapidly and to sucn a height as
to sweep away a mile of track on the
| Raleigh and Cape Fear railway.
There are now only about fifty-five
| veterans at the soldiers home here.
| About twenty awaited themselves OF
the act of the last legislature, by which
| they left the home, receiving $18 each,
and are placed on the pension roll as
second class pensioners.
There was yet another very heavy
frost today. At the agricultural depart
ment it is said to be the coolest spring
since 1867.
Mayor Powell today appointed IFS
citizens as a committee to go to New
York to aid in the reception of the
cruiser Raleigh. It is hoped that of
this number fifty will go. General Fob
ert f. Hoke is appointed to head he
delegation n if the mayor does not
go to represent him.

rHE ~LYNGHERs, TRIAL
The Trial Begun Of Eleven Men Charg.
ed With Killing the Postmaster at
Lake City, 8. &.

Cha lesion, S. c., April 10.-Eieven
Lake City lynchers were placed on trial
in the United States circuit court here
today. The case against ]. P. NEWMAN
and Early P Lee, the men who turned
states evidence, was dropped by the re-
quest of the district attorney, and this
accounts for the fact that eleven instead
OF thirteen men are now On trial.
The hearing today occupied seven
hours, much of which time was taken
up with reading and ~re-reading the in
dictment and in arguing technical ques-
tons raised by the defense. AT the
very outset w. St. Julian Gervy, Of
counsel for the prisoners, sought to en-
ter a demurrer to the Indictment. He
claimed there was a multiplicity Of
crimes charged in the counts and that
the circuit court had no jurisdiction
under the statute.
Assistant District Attorney Cochran,
and General Barber replied for the de-
fence and the court overruled the de-
murrer. After a technical objection to
the jury panel had been disposed of
the jurors were drawn and sworn.
The defence exercised its right to
challenge six times, four Of the men
excluded being negroes. The jury as
it stands is composed of white men Of
means and standing in the several
counties from which they come.
After a recess of an hour the entire
afternoon session of the court was
taken up with another reading of the
indictment, together with a statement
made by District Attorney Lathrope
He rehearsed at length the facts con-
nected with the killing of Baker and
outlined the n in which he would
seek to fix the crime upon the prison
ers at the bar. The taking Of testimo-
ny will begin tomorrow morning.

A WISE PRESIDENT.

At a dinner of the Grant Post, at the
Montauk Club in Brooklyn, DR.. Stro-
bridge paid this tribute to President
Mckinley:
Surely, it is not cant or affectation
to suppose that the man who from his
desk in the White House has quietly,
firmly and prudently directed the af-
fairs, is visible and faithful express
sion of the good will of heaven toward
us. When we consider how great
havoc might have been wrought by
mistaken or hasty leadership, we must
regard it a matter of especial graft
tude that We have been able to rely
with assurance upon a man wise with
out oStentation, patient and yet alert,
aggressive yet self-contained, energetic
without excitement, courteous, cour-
ageous, correct, with the eye of a
patriot and the will of a conqueror
He stands before us SO commanding,
so splendid that the shafts of criticism
aimed against him fall at his feet in
bouquets of admiration. And today, in
the esteem of the world and the af-
lection of his countrymen, the highest
seat is occupied by our President,
William Mckinley"
AS the difficulties of governing the
inhabitants of Cuba become more ap-
parent, the Presidents wisdom in re-
fusing to recognize the independence
of the Cuban Government, before the
war, becomes more conspicuous
Pressed and worried by the Senate to
give that elusive Government standing,
he alone stood steadfaSt and never
yielded. Why Senators qualified and
able to make correct judgments in poll
tical affairs should have persistently
urged course that seemed then to
many to be unwise, and it is now evil
dent would have been most unfOrtun-
ate, can only be explained on the
theory that in executive matters one
head is better than many.
