e. L. Travis, Raleigh, N. G.
Water in one foot of top of dyke on my
place to upper end. Water rising over
small dykes near Mr.. Woods. The water
is rising rapidly and dykes can't stand
but a short time.
c. J. RHEM
Then came this worse news:
Tillery, N. c.. May 25.
J. S. Mann, Raleigh, n. c.
Back water dyke given away. Can't
tell what damage will be yet.
j. H. M'IVER.
And then the news of the flooding came
news that brought as much trouble to
the penitentiar authorities as such a
disaster would cause in Holland:
Tillery, N. c., May 2s:
]. S. Mann, Raleigh, N. c.
Main dyke broken. Caledonia flooded.
c. j. RHEM
OF course it is too soon to tell the
damage. The cotton has been planted the
dykes are broken, the farm is flooded.
If the rains end soon and fine seasons
follow, part of the loss may yet be
recovered, but the expense that will be
incurred in rebuilding the dykes and the
loss in this years crop will necessarily
be very great.

TILLMAN RESIGNS TO MEET McLAUaIN
(By the Associated Press.)

Columbia, S. c., May 25.-Today at
Gaffney there was a spirited debate be-
tween United States Senators B. r. Til
man and John l.. McLaurin.. AS a de-
nouncement both Of them have put their
designations to Governor McSweeney,
They have resigned with the under
standing that they are to go before the
people Of the State in a oint canvass,
and the sentiment of the people is to be
expressed in the vote in a Democratic
primary to be held in November.
The arrangement is sensational, for
Tillman was last summer elected for six
years and McLaurin has yet two years to
serve. The result of the issues means
that if Tillman is sustained McLaurin' s
seat will be vacant; If McLaurin is sue
cessful he will succeed to Tillman's long
term.
McLaurin had been invited to Gaffney,
and friends of Tillman asked him to come
too, McLaurin accused Tillman of attack
ing him when Tillman was in a bomb
proof.
The latter declared that he would re-
sign and meet McLaurin on the stump.
McLaurin agreed to the proposition.
Senator Tillman later submitted writ
ten proposition which was acceptable to
Senator McLaurin, except that the lat
ter wanted the election to be held in
October and November, instead of this
summer McLaurin stated that this was
suggested on account of his poor health.
There were several proposals submitted
between the two. Senator McLaurin
wanted the race to be confined to Sena-
tor Tillman and himself The latter de-
clared that he could not dictate to the
State Democratic Executive Committee
when the primary should be held or how
many candidates there should be.

MAIN DYKE AT CALEDONIA
BROKEN; LANDS FLOODED

Caledonia farm the magnificent peniten-
farm, is flooded The dykes are broken
and the land covered with the water of
the Roanoke river
Upon this farm the State has 200 acres
in cotton. How much of it is under
water Superintendent Mann did not know
last night. Much of the cotton is on the
higher land and it is believed that it
has escaped the water burial
For some days Superintendent Mann has
been uneasy, and had given instructions
to do everything possible to strengthen
the dykes, and he hopes that the injury
will be confined to the bottom lands.

OH how shall the bond funds be

most here just now. The trustees of
the graded schools, the custodians of
this issue meet on Monday night and
they will act for the best interest of
the people. Some of our citizens want
the issue spent in improvements on the
present graded school grounds; others
want a building each in North and
South Goldsboro, while yet others want
a commodious, modern building erected
in that part of the city lying to the
west of Centre street When the
graded school question was first pre-
sented to the citizens of Goldsboro
township the fundamental idea was ito
meet upon a level and to part upon the
or middle class was secured with that
idea in view. Some hold to the opinion
that the issue being a small one only
$25, 900, that it would be the part of
wisdom to encourage this fundamental
idea and expend the whole amount on
the present site, which is some s
acres. Is the distance too great to
walk? Not so, is claimed by many in
the city who, when children walked

SPAT DEATH FOR TWO
WoodhuIl's Revolver Kills a
Woman and Himself.
Woodruff Believed That Stories She Had Cir
cuIated Had Caused His BelrOthed to
Break With Him.
{ BY the Associated Press.)

New York, May 24.-William Wood
hull, farmer residing at Laurel, l.. l.,
shot and killed Martha Williamson, a
neighbor, last night and then commit
ted suicide.
Miss Williamson and her brother
went out driving last evening and did
not return until about midnight. on
arriving home the brother helped his
sister to alight and then drove around
to the barn in the rear of the house.
The Williamsons' home is directly OPP
poSite Woodhull's house. AS Miss Will
Hanson walked toward the door of her
house Woodruff rushed out from some
place of concealment and fired at her
with a revolver. The brother heard
the noise of the shooting and ran from
the barn to the front of the house to
find his sister lying dead on the ground.
AS soon as he had fired the shot Wood
hull rushed across the road to his
house. ran to his bedroom and lay down
on the bed and then sent bullet into
his brain.
Woodruff was twenty-seven years old
anu Ills NlCllHl was dDOul - - NtNAA
that Woodruff had often asserted that
Miss Williamson had been circulating
stories about him and the young lady
whom he expected to marry He had
been heard, it is said, to denounce her
in violent terms and to utter threats
against her life. 1t is stated that on
several occasions he said he would
shoot the woman if she did not stop
talking about him.
Miss Delsie Newton, of Sayville, L. l.,
the young woman who was engaged to
Woodruff, said she was not surprised
at the tragedy She said that the rea-
son she had broken her engagement to
marry Woodruff was that he had acted
in such peculiar way at times that
she became afraid of him. 1t is three
years, she said, since they were en-
gagged Since she dismissed him he had
written number of strange letters to
her. Miss Newton would not say just
what the letters cntained, but she said
they seemed to be the emanations of
q disordered mind.
Miss Newton and her family believe
that Woodruff blamed Miss William
son for the breaking of the engage
ment. Miss Newton and her brother
were great friends of the murdered
woman, and it was at Miss Williamson's
house that Woodruff first met Miss
Newton
