Gray Suitings
Trust the American woman to
quickly recognize true merit in
a fashion. She adopted the shirt
waist and now ''all the kings
horses and all the kings men"
couldn't make her give it up.
She took to the tailored costume
and the "manniSh" shoe and she
holds fast to them with the
courage of deep-seated convic-
ton. Now, gray mixed worsteds
and cheviots are just the proper
thing and the way these fast
color, distressing, good wear
ing materials are being bought
indicates that charms of merit
still influence her preference.

London, May 5.-(4:50 A. M.)--The
mounted infantry with Lord Roberts
among whom are the Canadians, have
picketed their horses on the south bank
of the Vet river, eighteen miles north OF
Brandfort. The head of Lord Roberts col
umns has thus advanced 80 miles from
Karee Siding in two days. or 53 miles
north of Bloemfontein.
Little power was spent. The British
work was hard marching, the Beers re-
tiring out of reach of the British shells.
The correspondents supplement lord
Roberts plain statements with a few de-
tails. AS General Hutton with the first
mounted infantry brigade drew near
Brandfort. he saw khaki-clad body of
troops ahead of him. He was surprised
but thought they must be the British.
Soon, however, they opened fire upon the
British, who replied heavily. They were
the Irish American brigade from Louren-
70 Marques, and it is reported that the
Irish lost severely.

Newbern, n. c., May 4.-Newbern, like
all other places which the Democratic
candidates have visited in their tour OF
the State, opened her doors wide to her
distinguished guests and from the moment
of their arrival here has made them feel
that they have indeed entered the inner
circle of their hospitable homes.
The fioodgates of the skies were loosed
last night, but today dawned fresh and
beautiful and the program was carried
out without hitch or flaw.
The parade formed at the Chattawka
Hotel under the direction of Chief Mar
shall T. A. Green. First came the city
police headed by the Newbern Cornet
band; then the naval reserves; behind
these came carriages containing the can
didates, then a long line of citizens. The
march was first from Pollock to George
street. thence to Middle, thence to the
Academy green, where the stand had been
erected and seats provided to accommo-
date comfortably large crowd.
While the crowd today was not as big
as was expected it was appreciative and
and school children were out. All speeches
made today by the candidates are con-
sdered to be better than have heretofore
been made.
Discussing the need of the Constitu-
tional Amendment to the people of the
east to preserve their civilization and to
promote good local government Dr. Dix
on asked the question whether his hearers
were all agreed that the Amendment must
pass. At first the audience did not seen
to understand the Doctor was expecting
them to answer but on repeating his in
quiry an emphatic, Yes, yes, came from
all classes of the audience, the ladies
joining most heartily IN the response.
At the close of Aycock's great speech
men, ladies and children crowded on the
stand to shake hands.
All the candidates except Patterson
left on the boat at 6 o'clock for Eliza
beth City. The boat will stop long enough
at Oriental tonight for the candidates tC
make short speeches to the waiting
crowd.
1t was very much regretted that Gen
eral Toon was not present.

SHOT DEAD BY A PREACHER.
His Shot Gun Proved More Deadly Than His
Foes Revolver
(By the Associated Press J

BY the Associated PreSS.
Charleston, S. c., May 4.-One of the
most sensational homicdes in the history
of Bamberg, this State, occurred there
this morning at 10 o'clock when Rev. E
Johnson pastor of the Baptist church
shot and almost instantly killed w. T.
Bellinger, stenographer of this judicial
district.
Trouble between the two began yester-
day over the painting of line fence be-
tween the premises of John r. Bllinger
father of the deceased, and the Baptist
parsonage, at which time it is said hot
words were passed and pistol was drawn
by Bellinger.
This morning as young (Bellinger was
returning from the postoffice to his faith
ers residence Rev. Johnson, armed with
a double barrelled shotgun accosted him
in front of the Carlisle Fitting School
a few words were passed, a few shots
were exchanged and young Bellinger lay
dying on the ground with a smoking pistol
in his right hand.
After the shooting occurred Rev. John
son walked quietly into his house, un-
hurt, and remained there until about |
o'clock, when he went down to the jail
and surrendered to Sheriff Hunter.
AS to how the affair started this morn
ing and as to who shot first there is
considerable diversity of opinion, but it
is generally claimed that Bellinger shot
first and that Rev. Johnson only shot
once. Bellinger's pistol had four empty
chambers and he probably shot four times
twice at least after he had fallen NOR
tally wounded. Bellinger was struck in
the right side by twelve buck and eight
small shot which penetrated his lungs
and liver, causing almost instant death.
The families connected with the unfor-
tunate affair are two of the most promi-

AN IMPORTANT CAPTURE
Key to Main Road Leading to Drak-
ensberg Passes.
MAY NOW COOPERATE WITH BUlLER
The Beers Under De Larey Are Believed to be
Retiring on Winburg, Probably the
Next Place Which the British
Will Attack.
(By the Associated Press.)

London, May News Of the occu-
patton of Brandfort was issued by the
War Office at 10 o'clock this morning,
confirming the Associated Press news.
1t is generally considered the most
important communication received
from the front since the capture of
General Cronje and the relief of Lady
smith.
The position gives the key to one of
the main roads leading to the Drakens-
berg passes which possibly may be the
means of cooperation with General
Butler later on, provides an advance
base of supplies, ETC., and at the same
time menaces the Beers now south
east of Bloemfontein.
The Boer army which is at Brand
fort, commanded by General DeLarey.
is presumably on Winburg which will
possibly be the next immediate object
i've of the British.
Brandfort, thirty-fve miles nearer
the Transvaal capital, is now Lord
Roberts headquarters.
What particularly gratifies the Brit
ish public is the evidence that the
army of Lord Roberts in the Orange
Free State has recovered it's mobility
and is again capable of undertaking
the general advance, so long retarded.
1t is hardly expected the Beers will
make much of a stand south of
Kroonstadt and possibly not there
if Lord Roberts succeeds in captur-
ing Winburg. thus interposing be-
tween the main Federal army and
the Boer forces in the neighborhood
of Thaba N'Chu and Houtnek. i'm
which case the latter would be forced
TO move far to the eastward in which
direction their inability would prob
ably enable them to reach the Beth
lehem and Harrismith line of safety.
The only opposition which the British
encountered at Brandfort seems to
have come from the Irish-American
command
The central British army is now in
line with the extreme left at Boshof
under Lord Methuen, and the extreme
right at Elandslaagte under General
Butler so that movements @4 these
wings in cooperation with we army
may shortly be expected.
The Gazette this evening contains
benefdl fFencI ; report OF the us
aster to the Suffolk regiment. Jan
nary 5th, which he attributes entire
ly to the fact that a majority of the
four companies of the regiment en-
gagged were seized with panic and re-

who remained with them.
