GOVERNOR PARDONs HIM.
Raymond Hunt, Convicted of Manslaughter
Is Now A Free Man.

Labor Day will be a day of pleasant re-
membrance TO Raymond Hunt, white
man of Catawba county.
Yesterday Governor Aycock granted
him a pardon that saves him from a
further confinement in prison of two
years and eight months as he had served
four months of his sentence of three
years.
The crime for which he was committed
was manslaughter and his application for
pardon was recommended by the solicitor
all of the jurors before whom he was
tried, the chairmen of the three political
parties in Catawba, and seven hundred
citizens of the county.
Hunt killed the man for whose death
he was sentenced with brick. He sought
to avoid the fight which was forced on
him. and when he struck with brick
he had been badly beaten, his forehead
was cut and the blood was streaming
down his face. This is the statement
made in the appeal for pardon.
The application for his pardon was
brought to the city by Messrs. F. NJ
Hufham and E. B. Cline, of Hickory, who
presented it to the Governor yesterday.

YOUNG WOMAN BADLY BURNED.
Her Dress Caught While She Was Putting
Clothes Into Pot

Yesterday about II o'clock, at her home,
corner of West and Hargett streets, Mrs.
Minnie Parish, wife of Mr.. George Parish,
an employee at the Raleigh Ice factory,
was terribly burned, and is now lying at
the point of death in Rex Hospital
She was in her yard preparing to wash
some clothes, when her dress caught frcm
the flames under a pot near which she
was standing. Immediately she began
trying to fan out the blaze but only aided
it in it's deadly work

c. a. Jones. who live with her discoN
cred her distress and ran to her assist
ance at the same time calling for help.
Men ran from the ice factory nearby, buA
before the flames could be extinguished
the clothing had been almost burned from
Mrs. Parsh's body
Physicians were Immediately summoned
and it was found that she was burnc3
badly from her waist down. Also her
hands and arms were burned.
Mrs. Oliver likewise suffered an ugly
injury to her right hand in her effort 10
help her sister
Mrs. Parish was taken to the hospital
late yesterday afternoon, and last night
was reported as resting easy. The extent
of her injuries are such, however, as to
give only faint hope of her recovery.
She is a very young woman, not yet
eighteen years old, married only about a
year ago and leaves young baby at
home

The Rev. j. H. NJ Pollard, archdeacon
of North Carolina for work among colored
people, is making his first visit to Con-
necticut and stopping with Charles w
Gusts, No. 154 Mather street. Mr.. Pol

Va, in 1868, in a school presided over
by Miss Browne, of this State. He
served churches in Virginia for several
years, and then went to st. Mark S
church, Charleston, S. c., for eleven years.
He was appointed arChdeacon in 1898.
The State of North Carolina is divided

with thirty-seven counties and popula-
ton of more than 100000 persons, of

THE HORSES DYING IN DARE.
symptoms of the Disease Described by Clerk
Of Court Meekins.

A letter in regard to the disease among
horses in the eastern counties was re-
ceived at the Agricultural Department
Yesterday from Clerk of Court Meekins,
OF Dare county. 1t says some twelve to
twenty horses and ponies have died in
that county during the past few weeks,
and thus describes the symptoms of the
disease:
.They are generally taken with high
fever, refuse all food and drink, and as
fever abates in first twelve to twenty
four hours the horse becomes stupid, with
tendency to pitch forward or rest head
on some support Some seem TO suffer
pain: others remain quiet till they weak
en- or drop, and in from thirty-six to
sevepty-two hours they die. Bowels cos
tive and kidneys act but feebly, in some
cases not at ALL
I'VE have lost some very fine horses,
but the disease attacks all or any-young
and old, fat and poor, alike
Horses have been dying so rapidly in
HYDE and the adjoining counties that it
has become necessary for the board of
county commissioners to issue an order
directing that all that die should be buried
or burned. A severe penalty is imposed
fo- non compliance with the order.

RAINS Running CROPS.
Cotton is Much Hurt by Rust and Is Shedding
Badly.

Commissioner Patterson of the Agrf.
cultural Department, is just back from
the western part of the State, and re-
ports crops in that section far below
an average Along many of the larger
mountain streams, especially along Yad-
kin river. not only have crops been
washed away but the land ruined. All
over the mountain section, as in the
rest of the State, great damage has
been done by the continued rains, and
Mr.. Patterson doesn't remember when
the outlook for farmers was more
gloomy.
In Mcdowell county recently there
was a cloud burst that washed away a
number of small buildings and much
fodder. Live stock was saved with the
greatest difficulty. Land was overflow
ed, small branches raised to great tor
rents in few minutes and the rush of
water heard for half mile.
Mr.. E. 3. Cline, of Hickory, was here
yesterday and said that crops in Cataw-
ba, except along the streams, were
much better than in many other coun-
ties, but still considerably below the
average of crops in that county.
Mr. w. A. Dunn, of Halifax, says the
crops in his section were never better,
but between there and Raleigh, they
are very poor.
r MIR. David T. Oates also reports crops
in Sampson as splendid, particularly
where farmers did not stop working OF
account of the rain.
In Wake county, crops are poor espe-
cially on sandy land. The rains during
the past two or three weeks have been
most hurtful to cotton causing rust and
the shedding of almost grown bolls. The
corn crop also is anything but encour
aging.

Annual Report a. & N. C. Railroad,
(Newbern Journal.)

The annual report of the Atlantic and
North Carolina Railroad Company, now in
the hands of the printer, will prove an in
tereSting document as showing what has
been done on the road during the past
year, ending June 30th. 1901 as well as
the working and financial status of the
road.
A full summary of this annual report
would include much that has already been
published in these columns, especially as
regards the improvements along the line
of the road.
And a review of the financial side OF the
roads affairs can best be made by any
one so disposed taking the report when
issued, and studying it in detail.
But what is of special interest to note
in this annual report. is that the A. and
n G.. management has kept its promise
of being progressive in the building Up
and Improvement of its property, and
at the same time has found that business
increased proportionately as it's facilities
increased.
The railroad warehouses built al points
along the road are in demand for daily
use, and the cost of their construction
has been fully justified by the business
gained.
The shops for construction and re-
pair work now in operation at Newborn,
are equipped equal to similar shops of uny
of the great railroads in the South, and
are proving of great value and saving
to the road.
The building up of the passenger traf-
ifs on the A. and n. c. Railroad, is worthy
of note, and this business has proven Of
special financial Importance this year,
when the freight business, through the
destruction of the truck crops has fallen
Off some $4,000.
The management has insisted that if
the people along the inc of it's road were
given ample facilities for travelling, at
reasonable rates, there could be arge
passenger traffic built up.
The truth of this can be seen in the
largely increased passenger receipts,
which are source of most important
revenue to the road throughout the year
While the report ends for the fiscal
year, June 30th 1901, from the books of
tie company there is to be found the
figures showing that the roads indebted
ness has since that date been reduced
over five thousand dollars, and that 50,-
900 new cross ties are to be laid as fast
as possible while the work of graveling
the road its entire length has already
commenced
However this annual report may be re-
ceived by the stockholders of the road,
there is but one expression, that of gem
cral satisfaction, from the people WHO
live and dc business along the line or
the A. and n. C.2road, for every facility is
given them 70 enjoy the increased Dement'S
of this roads service, bet it the traveller,
or the farmer who wishes to move his
products.

GENERAL AYREy SUFFRAGE PLAN.
Favors Registration Council of Three ior
Each Magisterial District.
Governor Aycock at Beaufort.
(By the Associated Press.)

Richmond, Va, September 2.-Ihe
Constitutional Convention was called 10
order at noon. today by President
Goode. Fifty-nine members answered
to their names. A number of resolu'
tions We're presented by various meHi-
bers protesting against sectarian appro-
priations and regulating the liquor traI-
fic, and petitions from business organ:
izations of Petersburg and Alexandra
in favor of fixing the homestead eXemp-
ton at 81 900.
Delegate Pedigo, of Henry county,
moved that the convention adjourn in
honor of labor day. The motion was
lost. Only Mr.. Pedigo and one other
member voted aye.
On motion of Mr.. Petit, the conven'
ton resolved itself into committee of
the whole and Mr.. Ayres, of Wise, was
recognized. Mr.. Ayres said he would
vote to submit the new Constitution
to an abridged electorate He was OPP
posed to any act which would in any
way abridge the rights of the negroes,
or which would conflict with the
Federal provisions. He had no quarrel
with the unfortunate negro race, who
was here without it's own volition. Vir-
action against importation of negroes.
General Ayres sent to the clerks desk
and had read the various acts of Con-
gress concerning the reconstruction and
the holding of the Underwood Conven-
ition He showed that by these acts 1.-THE
flower of Virginia manhood was dis
franchised with the result that the con-
,vention was composed of aliens, ne
groes, the camp followers The Under
wood Constitution had been submitted
to an abridged electorate and no man
would assert that there was any moral
right which required that the work OF
the present body should be submitted
to the negroes of the State. General
Ayres outlined a suffrage plan in the
course of his speech He favored coun-
ell of three of each magisterial district
in the State, which board of council
should have charge of the registration
of all who desired to exercise the right
of suffrage. Voters should have char
acter, be familiar with the duties of
citizens under Republican form of gov
eminent, no property qualification, no
poll tax or other educat ional qualiflca-
ton other than to be exercised by the
registration boards The boards would
be partisan, though the Republicans
were to have representation. When
negroes fitted themselves for citizen.
ship the boards could register them, but
the plan was constitutional.
General Ayres' speech was on the lines
of legal argument and held the atten-
tion particularly of the lawyers in the
body. 1t was over an hour and a half
long. At 150 p. m. the committee rose
and the convention adjourned.
