MR.. RUFFtN'5 SECOND AT
TEMPT.

It is a sad recollection with the pso-
pie OF thls part OF the State how Mr..
James Rnfin, the superintendent and
manager OF tie Rocky Mount cotton
mills, attempted suicide on the train to
New Orleans about a year ago.
A second attempt is described in .
Morganton letter to the Raleigh Post a
few days ago, which said
"Mr. J ames Ruffin who, 1t will lie
remembered, attempted suicide In
New Orleans about Elk months ago and
was brought to the Western Hospital
here for treatment, has again tried to
take his life. Ever since his condne-
,nent in the hospital he has kept close
within its walls, refusing to go out for
exercise or recreation, though often en-
couraged to do so by his phys'clans'
But yesterday afternoon he was in
duced 10 take drive towards the South
Mountains, with an attendant. Tho At
tendant says that they had gone about
five miles, when, On coming to a stream
Mr.. Rufain asked him to get Gut Of the
buggy and let down the rsins that
tie horse might drink. He had no
sooner gotten out of the buggy than
Ruffin struck the horse with the whip
and dashed up the mountain In =
gatlop, in few moments disappearing
from Wow. The attendants followed
for several miles, but gave up the chase
and came tack TO report to DR.. Muir
ply. He did not reach the hospital
until la1e last night. This morning Drs'
Taylor and CampbslI, With guard, went
in pursuit. About ten miles from here
IN a mountain cabin, they found kuf6n,
almost b!ed to death, with both wriets
cut and two horrible gashes across hi4
kreast. He had purchased q knife
from a mounta Inser as he drove alona
the road, going some distance after
doing so, then literally he cut the
harness off the horse, carefully tied
him to a tree and eet about his own
destruction. From the last reper,
heard he was alive, but too weak to be
moved to the hospital, and the an
nouncement of his death Is expected At
any time.

noon for Charlotte to hold his drs
court.
"The appointment OF Judge Moor,
gives general satisfaction. He was tn,
most strongly endorsed of any of thos'
mentioned IN connection with tn,
judgeehip. Judge Moore received thu
endorsement OF a number of leading
members of the bar In the district, anG
a number OF Democrats favored tho ap
polntment.
Judge Moore, who was born II
Edenton in 1841, has been engaged IL

hood. Except for an interval o
eight years, he has resided in his ma

his residence in Washington he served

BUILD THOSE HOUSES.

bank and put their tongues together,

iced their hands soon to build houses
to furnish homes for those who wished
them, or might desire in the future to
live here.
Weeks and weeks have passed and
vsry few of the houses promised haye
baen built. People are still anxious
to come to Scotland Neck, but few can
come because they cannot find houses
TO live in. There is an opportunity
for great development here in the next
fow months even, if only the business
men will take advantage of it and in
vest some money In preparing houses
for people to live in. And the situa-
ton Is peculiar one, and far moro

heard. if possible. at every voting pre-
cinct in the State.
He showed thatit had taken the Anglo
Saxon fifteen hundred years to learn self
government. and stated that there were
white men in North Carolina who pro-
fessed to believe that the negro. from the
jungles OF Africa, had learned in less than
one hundred years what the white man
had taken fifteen hundred years 10 learn
His argument was strong. fair and con-
vincing. free from abuse of anyone. He
spoke to mixed audience OF Democrats
Republicans and POpul:stS. and all ex-
pressed themselves IS highly pleased with
his speech. His speech did good here and
we trust that the committee will be able
to persuade him to remain in the field
until the close or the campaign.
The amendment is gaining ground. and

and Others to turn on the light, aud lay
