| have just returned from an extend
ed trip through the counties of Edge
combe, Beaufort, Pitt and Green, where
| saw some of the best farms, growing
crops, cleverest men and prettiest wo-
men to be found in the State. 1t is a
real pleasure to visit such a rich coun'
try and mingle with so good a people.
Throughout the section l found the
News and Observer very popular and
added a large number of new subscrlb-
ers.
The people are loud in their praise
of the Atlantic Coast Line for the ex-
cellent system of trains and schedules
given them. AS now, the citizens of
Washington and of Greenville, after
dinner with their loved ones, can sup at
Goldsboro and breakfast at Charlotte.
Indeed, coming in via Kinston and the
Atlantic and North Carolina this people
can breakfast the morning after leaving
home at the nations capital.
l regret to chronicle an accident to the
Rev. N. B. Nordan, of this city Mr..
Nordan already suffering from paraly-
sis of the left side and forced to use
crutches, believes in employment, and
while filling a position as night man at
Wells brick plant, to the west of the
city, he fell out of a car, breaking his
left arm just above the wrist. He says
he noticed the gang plank projecting
from the car door and fearing when the
cars were pulled out the frame work of
the kilns near would be torn down by
the gang plank, he got in the ear to push
it out In the effort his foot slipped
and he fell out the door into a pile of
bricks with the above results. The
Messrs. We'll were phoned to and sent a
transfer, taking the suffering one home,
where he was given medical attention
and is doing as nicely as could be ex-
pected.
Speaking of the Messrs. We'll reminds
me that as Mayor pro tenn, Mr. Solo
mon We'll is a hustler. This morning
he had before him a number of cases,
these being disposed of at a rate of one
to every two minutes, the citys till be-
ing increased a number of dollars
Among the cases yet to come before
Acting Mayor We'll is that of Van Par
ker, colOred, who according to his own
statement, has done muffin, but who
is charged by Henrietta McCulen, a
damsel also Of color, with having cursed
her out and chased her with huge
knife. Van went to see Henrietta and
told her Mr.. Summerlin, the grocery
merchant was buying all the big-eyed
owls he could and when Henrietta
sought the wherefore, Van said he was
shipping them to a Baltimore firm who
probed into their heads for their goo-goo
eyes" This, it is claimed, so angered
the damsel she threatened Vans life.
Van left and seeing Henrietta on the
streets yesterday, made the assault
above referred to.
Yet another interesting case will
come up for a hearing in an action of
the city and State VS.. one-legged ne
gro by the name of Burwell Cox, charg-
ed with biting the face of ne-armed
negro by the name of Judge Kirby.
Hon. Chas. r Thomas, "our Congress
man." spent few hours in the city to-
day while en- route to Buffalo Lithia
Springs, where he goes for few weeks
to rest and >work. While there Mr..
Thomas will devote his time to work
and preparation in the matter of the
Fowler-Thonas contest. Mr.. Thomas
says he has no reason to fear the re-
suits. While here he expressed mis- re-
grets at the continued illness of Mr..
Fowler at his home in Clinton.
