Brother Shoots Brother.

The Tarboro Southerner few days
ago said that Mr.. w. 0. Bullock near
Rocky Mount shot his brother, DR..
jesse Bullock. The following day it
gave the following particulars:
"Jesse Bullock carried a note to his
brother from his mother. He met
him about half way between the two
places, where w. o. Bullock was
putting up a stock law fence. Some
words ensued and Jesse attacked
Orren. Being stronger he soon had
the advantage.
"Orren then used his pistol, miss
ing at the first shot, but striking
the thigh the next, inflicting flesh
wound. Orren's son then interfered
with an axe. The blow was not we'll
delivered but glanced, knocking off
skin but not injurinz the skull.
"Orren Bullock went at once to Rocky
Mount and detailed the occurrence to
his lawyer, B. III. Bum, who" advised
him, 80 it Is said. that his act was
Unsuitable, as he had acted throughout
In self defense.

Damages for . 1890.

The Cox case consumed about three
days of Superior court in Halifax last
week. It was the case of j. S. Cox,
of the estate OF n. l..
Cox, against the railroad company, for
killing N. L. Cox at Hobgood about
two years ago.
The following persons composed the
Jury: B. s. Hawkins, D. B. Crawley,

Hawkins, J. l.. Price, w. J. Collins'
G. G. Arlington, D. T. Fletcher, Jno.
Hammill, Ben Jones and Jno Hawkins.
The examination of witnesses was
long and tedious.
The speeches by the lawyers on both
sides were able and strong. The issues
submitted to the jury were:
1. Did the defendant negligently
kill plaintiffs intestate?
2. Was said intestate guilty of con-
tributory negligence?
3. Notwithstanding such negligence
on the part of the intestate, could the
defendant, by the exercise of due care
and prudence, have prevented the
killing?
4. What damage has the plaintiff
sustained?

answer they presented to the first three

THREE SUICIDES.

There certainly has been an avalanche
of suicides and accidents this week. In
small population such as there is on
this Island, the proportion has run up
TO inordinate figures. When suicides
occur one naturally looks for causes.
But there are no remarkable predispos-
ing causes at work, that is, there has
been no wide calamity which would
bring about desire on the part of per-
sons TO rush from the ills they know
TO others that they know not of.
Two of the suicides which have oc-
CURED during the week are explainable.
The case of Joe Silva was one of de-
preston brought about through old age
and lack of success in business. The
case of the japanese woman was nat
ural depression caused by her way of
life.
The case of the Chinese at the other
side of the Island is not so easily ex-
plainable. 1t does not seem clear that
the mere fear of being arrested for hay-
ing opium in possession would drive
him to suicide. But it is quite on the
cards that he knew so much about the
opium on the other side of the Island
mat 1t suited some people to put him
out of the way, rather than he should
be caught. 1t was upon this theory that
the coroner's jury apparently worked,
but they obtained no result. 1t might
be just as well for the police authorities
to keep the case in mind and watch for
further indications.

SUNSHINE.

Among the crowd of pessimistic views
that are constantly being put forth by
the moralists, it is refreshing to find
some one who takes a CHEEKY view of
human nature. The New England Ma
gazine for July expresses itself, editor
ally as follows:
I'VE are of those who believe that
this nation is essentially a nation of
good people. Like every other nation, it
is very full of sinners, and many of
the sinners are in high places, where
they can blow loud blasts and pull
strong ropes and often exercise the de-
termining influence; but nothing shall
shake us from the conviction that the
great majority of men in this republic
desire to know the truth and to do the
right thing, and that if they do not do
the right thing it is because they do
not know the truth or see clearly what
is the most important question"
The writer might have gone a step
further, and have said that the majority
of people in the world are good people.
In spite of many mistakes and much
wrong doing, the greater part of man
kind wants to do the right thing, and is
both kindly and honestly disposed. Rob
ert Louis Stevenson said in one of his
letter Il "a solemn, a terrible but
very noble universe" and then adds
II think any honest man may make out
life which shall be happy for himself,
and, by so being, benefcent for those
about him." And there are many such
men and women in the world
1t is much better to have a kindly
view of ones fellows than it is to have
an atrabilious one. 1t is both wiser and
better to seek for good motives in the
mountain of good actions, than to grope
for evil motives in the garbage heap of
i'll deeds. 1t says something for the
world when one can think of the former
as mountain, while the latter is after
all but heap.
People are very apt however to con-
slider the evil rather than the good. The
good is so constantly with uss that
when the evil comes it is striking, and
by contemplating it one is apt to get
into the way of thinking. THE world is
very evil as some misanthropic hymn
writer commences his stanza with If
one will only contemplate the good, the
charitableness the kindness, the self
abnegation and the cheerfulness, of the
average amount of mankind, neither
individuals nor nations will look so very
black. There are plenty of bright colors
and plenty of sunshine in the picture.
The thought expressed in the New
England Magazine is a bright and
wholesome one. 1t is in line with an
other remark of Stevenson. He would
think brightly and happily of the world
even though he, himself, was a sufferer
and had to strip himself of all the
pleasures he had chosen" In his view
zone dank, dispirited word is harmful
.."..a piece of acquired evil; every
gay, every bright word or picture, like
every pleasant air of music, is a piece Of
pleasure set afoat; the reader catches
it, and if he be healthy, goes on his way
rejoicing" So the New England Maya
zine editor, has sent vibrating across
the continent and oceans, a ray of sun
shine which is undimmed even on our
sunlit Isles.

There seems likely to be some trou-
BILE about wharVes. If the United States
Government has finally decided upon
the harbor line as set out on the map
shown in Colonel Ruhlen's office, some
of the work recently done by the Gov
eminent will have to be undone. 1t is
evident that the commission appointed
to look into the harbor matter has set
its face against encroaching upon the
surface of the harbor. This view of the
question was urged in these columns
when the harbor was under discussion,
but met with scant attention from those
who had set their minds upon encroach-
ing upon the surface waters. 1t will be
great pity if time has been wasted
and public money spent in vain. Major
Langfitt allowed it to be guessed that
If the work were put up, the Federal
authorities would not make a change,
they would not disturb existing whar-
YES, but Major Langfitt may have been
wrong, at least it looks so if the official
map is considered.
