PRESIDENT ELIOT CANNOT COME.
his Wife's Illness Compels Him to Abandon
His Southern Trip

There will be general regret that Presi-
dent Eliot, of Harvard University, cannot
visit Raleigh, Chapel Hill and Greensboro
to visit the educational institutions of the
State. The following letter from Mr.. Je-
rome d. Greene, secretary to the presi-
dent, to President Winston explains the
cause:
President Eliot directs me to inform
you that, very much to his regret, he is
obliged to abandon the pleasant expecta-
tion OF visiting Raleigh this spring The
sloWness of Mrs. Eliot's recovery from
an illness which she has suffered for over
two months made it necessary for Presi-
dent Eliot, some time ago, to cancel all
of his engagements in San Francisco and
in the Northwest; but he had hopes at
that time that he would be able to ad-
here to the Southern part of his timer
airy. He now finds that it will be out of
the question for Mrs. Eliot to take the
trip with him, and even for him to leave
her for any length of time. He is much
concerned at the prospect of disturbing
the arrangements so kindly made for his
entertainment; and he begs you to &C
Cept his sincere regrets and his renewed
thanks for your many kind offices. He has
endeavored to notify most Of those per-
sons who have interested themSelves in
the arrangements for his Southern trip;
but, as he cannot hope to address himself
personally to all, he vii be greatly obliged
If you will convey to the proper persons
of your vicinity an expression of his APP
probation of their hospitable services"

HICKS STILL AT LARGE.
Reported That He Says He Will Kill Others
and Then Surrender

Messrs. @. B. Gully, deputy sheriff, and
]. w. Gully, of Oak Grove township, who
live near where Edgar Hicks, colored,
otherwise known as Smith, killed John
Holloway, colored, last Sunday, say that
Hicks is still at large. They say that
Hicks wife, the only witness, said that
Hicks begged Holloway to come and play
five up with him. Holloway at first said
he did not have time, but finally did go
in. Then he got his axe and went out
to cut some wood to make fire. He
came back with one stick of wood under
his arm and the axe sticking in another
piece of wood. He laid the wood on the
fire and Holloway was sitting in front of
the fire nodding. Hicks told his wife to
cook them some dinner. She says she
turned around to get the lid of the skillet
to put on the fire. While she was doing
this she heard the lick, which her husband
gave to Holloway ON the head He died
about eleven o'clock that night She says
they had no fuss, and that Holloway
and Hicks were apparently friendly.
Mr.. Q. B. Gully, deputy sheriff, says
that Holloway was one of the best col
ored men in Oak Grove township. Hicks
says that he and Smith were not friendly,
and that he killed him when he saw that
he was trying to draw his pistol.
1t is reported that Hicks, who is in
hiding, say that he wants to kill two
more negroes and one white man before
he is ready to surrender. The report
that Hicks did the killing because his
wife thought too much of Holloway is
said to be mere suspicion.
The Governor will be asked to offer a
reward for the arrest of Hicks.

Tax Reduction Asked.

Inquiries have been received by State
Auditor Dixon from several of the west
ern counties that have recently been Wis
tied by the terrible floods, asking if ne
can not do something to lessen the tax
alton in those counties. The writer's seem
to think that the Auditor might, if he
would. make some reduction in the
property assessments, on account of the
great amount of damage done by the
floods.
OF course the State Auditor can do
nothing; the only possible relief which
the people of that section can secure
would be for the commissioners of the
county to reduce the assessment, per-
