An attempt was made Saturday
night about 3 O'Clock to burn the
store Of Mr.. Charley Orion, who
lives just across the Greene coun-

much damage was done. Kerosene
oil was strewn over the premises
and it was plain that the attempt
was the work of an incendiary.
Mr.. Orton came to this city Sun
day morning TO get bloodhounds
to run the tracks of the arsonists,
bat could get none here, and he
went to Kinston, where he got
two dogs and put them on trail.

tracks were made, but the dogs
followed them up and two negroes
were 'streed' and captured ester
day afternoon.

day brought in two young soldiers
from the far off Philippines, who
enlisted in GoIdsbor under Capt.

came from Kinston and his name
is J. d, Ballard. His discharge
contained a list of all the engage

bore the word "excellent," which
is the highest form of discharge
that the government issues. The
other Of the soldiers came from
Winterville and his name is j. T.
Robey. He also had a. good dis

both seeming glad to get back to
the Old North State and express
