Z kinston, n. c., Dec 12.-News has lust
reached here of a fatal shooting affair at
Hugo, about nine miles north of Kinston
A negro named Tom Tate called at the
store of Smith Bros, which is also the
postoffice, and asked if there was any
mail for him. Mr.. Lawrence HaZelton. a
clerk in the store replied that there was
not. The negro then said that he believed
there was mail for him and that Mr..
Hazelton ''wass too damn lazy to look >
Mr. Hazelton endeavored to avoid trouble
on account of the presence of ladies in
the store and ordered the negro to desist
and leave the store. Tate then with more

Mr. Hazelton seized a shot gun, loaded

BECAUSE 1T ISN'T AMPLE
Council of State so Decided Yesterday
in Authorizing LoaG.
THE COLLEGE TO GET s23, 500 AT ONCE
Thought That the Department May be Able to
PAY it Back in Year. rs Applica-
lions From New Students
at A. and N.

The Council of State met yesterday at
the executive office. and authorized the
Department of agriculture to borrow
$22, SEQ for the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College.
The Agricultural Department was au-
thorized to make the loan, and it is not
to come out of the appropriation to The
college, which is barely sufficient to
meet necessary current expenses OF the
college It is the idea of State officials
hat the Agricultural Department, which
received approximately $6S,000 from the
fertilizer tax last year, should pay back
his loan next year.
The loan having been authorized the
Building Committee will go to work to
arrange for securing the money, Thlch
will probably be obtained from some
Jank There will be no difficulty in ar
angling for this loan.
Twenty thousand dollars OF the loan is
O be used in the erection of the two
buildings authorized by the Board Of
Agriculture. One of these is to be for
lormitory purposes, and the other for
hapel and dining hall. The remaining
1850 is to be used in replacing the fur
lishings and supplies for the dining room
md kitchen that were recently destroyed
)y fire.
There will be little delay in putting UP
he buildings, which are so urgently
needed at the college. Architects will
be asked to submit plans as soon as the
loan is made and their bids will be re-
,eiyed from contractors.
A great many applications for admis-
sion to the Agricultural and Mechanical
College are received from other States,
especially South Carolina and Virginia.
Owing to the recent fire and to lack Of
room for North Carolina boys, the fac
ulty have passed a regulation not to re-
ceive students from other States, for the
present. This will not exclude those al
ready matrioulated, but will exclude all
new comers except such as take special
courses. Special course students do not
room nor board at the college, do not
wear the uniform nor drill, and arc not
subject to the usual regulations They
are usually over twenty one, and they
find accommodation in the city or 4ut in
the country.
Applications for admission in January
have already been received from ffty-
two students, of whom a large number
are specials Two or three buildings
near the college have already been
rented and, if necessary, the college
i'll rent one of the vacant hotels in the
city, marching the students to and fro
from the college morning and night.
Owing to danger of pneumonia and
other sickness from exposure, it has been
decided not to try the experiment Of hav-
ing students living in tents during the
winter months.

FL.EDFRON L.YNCHER.
Geo. Gay Who Killed Wade
AycoCk in Wilson Here
No! Being Tried This WEEK Sheriff Sharp
Brings Him to the States A..
Prison

Probably for the first time there is an
man in the States Prison for safe keeping
who has never been convicted.
This is Geo Gay, young white man,
who killed Wade H. Aycock, his employer,
in Wilson, about the first of November
of this year and who was brought here
yesterday.
Gay was to have been tried in Will
son this week but he has not yet re-
covered fro the wound he inflicted on
himself when he killed Agcock, and he is
also suffering from an attack Of pneu-
monia. For these reasons he was not put
On trial for his life.
There is a bitter feeling towards the
man on the part of friends of Aycock in
the Fremont section This is not new,
for Gay had to be slipped away from
Wilson shortly after the killing to avoid
a lynehng party which had come into
Wilson for him. Where he was taken to
at that time is still secret which Sher-
if Sharp will not divulge
Some time ago there was an under
standing reached, so it is said, by which
the inccnsed people agreed to hold off
and allow the law to take it's course.
But as there was no trial in Wilson this
week there were mumblings of discon-
tent and whispers of lynching party
being formed reached Sheriff Sharp. That
jealous official does not believe in TAX
ing chances, SO he arranged to get Gay
out Of the city.
He did not take the usual route from
Wilson to Raleigh, but in company with
Mr.. Thad l.. Hedgepeth he took Gay
around by way of Weldon and reached
Raleigh safely yesterday with his pris-
oner, who is now in the States Prison.
Wake county jail has usually been made
a farbor of refuge in such cases, but as
the recent attempt to break Jail had
made 1t apparently a risky place, Gay
was taken to the penitentiary.
Gay, it will be remembered, was a
clerk in Aycock's saloon in Wilson, and
shot his employer when there were inti-
nations that he was taking cash that
belonged to the saloon. After Gay had
shot Aycock, who was STOPPING over in
front of the safe, he shot himself just
over the heart, and it was supposed the
wound was fatal, but the young man re-
covered and will have to stand trial for
murder.
