DIR. MILLER A VISITOR HERE.
New Building to Relieve Crowded Condition
Of Goldsboro Hospital ss&

DR.. j. r. Miller, of Goldsboro, Super
intendent of the Eastern Hospital for
the Insane, who has been commissioned
by the Governor to enquire into the
mental condition of the negro rapist,
John De Berry, of Richmond county,
spent the day in the city yesterday.
DIR. Miller left in the afternoon for
Rockingham, where he will examine
DeBerry mentally and satisfy himself
as to his sanity. The physicians OF
Rockingham were not disposed to as
sumo the responsibility, so the Cover
nor requested DR.. Miller to go as an
expert. DeBerry is said to be only fif-
teen years of age. He is under sentence
of death for the rape of a six year old
child and the execution is set for the
10th.
Speaking of the crowded condition OF
the State institutions for the insane, DR..
Miller said: There are over 100 appli-
cations for admittance to the hospital at
Coldsboro. OF course the institution is
very much crowded, but the situation
will be relieved as soon as the new
building. which is nearing completion,
is finished. This building, which is OF
brick and three stories in heigth, will
accommodate sixty patients and provide
a dining room for males. The cost of the
building is $4,000. A similar annex will
be erected next year, appropriation hav-
ing been provided by the Legislature.
The institution will then have ample
accommodations"
For nearly fifteen years DR.. Miller
has been in charge of the State institu-
ton for the coloredinsane and he has had
more than ordinary opportunities for
observing that disease among the color
cd people of the State. Insanity in the
colored race has increased to consider
able extent since the war;" DR.. Miller
declared. I'm fact the increase has been
very perceptible during the last twenty
years. / think this condition is attribut-
able to the responsibility of citizenship.
which has been thrust upon the colored
people; and the worry and care of sup
porting their families. My observation
is that recoveries among the colored is
not so great as among the white people.

VENEZUELA DOESN'T SEEK WAR.

The Associated Press, in conversation
today with a Cabinet Minister, who re

COLUMBIA ROUNDS THE STAKE.
At 3:05:32 the Columbia tackled around
the stake boat and easing away her

lib topsail was steadied on her home
ward course for Sandy Hook lightship
She made the best of the scanty wind and
with sails perfectly trimmed steered for
the goal
The Shamrock made very good turn,
but was quite slow in settling her iih
topsail which was one of the variety
kind as reaching sails and not a
ballooner 1t was excellent Judgement Q
the part of the experts on the Sham
rock to set this sail for the wind headed
the Columbia soon after, making it a
rather close reach to the home mark
and rendering it necessary to take in the
ballooner and replace it with one similar
to that in the Shamrock.
The official time at the outer mark
follows:
Columbia 305:32.
Shamrock 3:12:47.
The wind continued so light and with
no signs of breezng up that it became
clear that the race could not be con-
Guided within the time limit of five and
half hours. No incident worth re-
cording occurred until 4:40 when the re-
gatta committee declared the race off.
The Columbia was at that time about
five miles distant from Sandy Hook
Lightship The Shamrock was a good
three quarters of a mile astern.
To sum up todays performance of the
two yachts it may be said that in light
weather such as prevailed today the
Shamrock proved to be no match for the
Columbia. What she may accomplish
with good wind remains to be seen.

state Inspector Hines. who was sent to
the scene to investigate, Governor Beck
ham has ordered militia sent from Bowl
Ing Green and Greensboro to protect the
property of the operators
Hopkins county has for month been
Ia state of turmoil over the troubles
between the mine operators and the I'M
ion. Last November the United Mine
workers undertook to unionize the mines
or hopkins county. Some of the miners
went out, but majority preferred to
continue at work. Both sides soon resort
cd to force. The union miners establish
ed camp and declared war on the nom
union men. The operators hired guards
to protect their property. While the
company officials have used all the means
at hands to presere peace, numerous al
trays have occurred and dozens of men
have been wounded, but only two deaths
have occurred.
Two union miners were killed by a
deputy sheriff and number Of guards.
Indictments were returned and the ac-
cused PARTIES are now awaiting trial.
Meanwhile the union miners continued to
harcass the miners who remained at their
tasl-s and tried to keep them from going
to work.
Many of the non-union miners are ne
grocs. Miners boarding houses have been
riddlc6 with bullets and blown up with
dynamite. Both sides have repeatedly
fired on one another
Last week the union forces, several
hundred strong, succeeded in getting be-
tween the miners and the Reinecke plant
and drove the miners who were on the
way to work, back ct the point of Win
Chestcrs. The trouble grew SO serious
that troops were called out last week
and kept waiting several days, but were
not ordered TO the scene pending the re-
port OF the inspector which came today
He says tho situation is critical and that
the iawlcss clements arc dangerous.
