Governor Aycock issued an order
and commission yesterday morning
for Judge Justice to hold special
term of the Northampton county
criminal court for the purpose of
trying the negro Jeter Mitchell, for

Mrs Lucinda Hall, but before the
documents left the city news was
received that an infuriated squad of
citizens had given "Judge Lynch )"
jurisdiction and Jeter Mitchell had
already suffered the death penalty,
having been hung to a neighboring
tree.
In speaking of the crime of which
the negro was guilty Mr., Harris said
that Mrs. Lucinda Hall, white lady
seventy years old,z and of the best
families in Eastern Carolina, started
from her home over to her SON. g
house, about half a mile away on
Christmas day. The path lea through
little skirt of woods and in this
lonely place she was assaulted by the

in his diabolioal purpose. The out
rage occurred near Garysburg.
The news of the crime spread
quickly and Mitchell was arrested
within two hours and positively
identified as the criminal. He was
then placed in the Jackson Jail.
Sentiment ran high in righteous in
dignation and last night he was
lynched.
1t is generally pronounced very
unfortunate that the lynching oc-

There is an active demand for good
vegetables of all kinds, and that de.
mand is constantly increasing. To meet
it and make the growing profitable
vegetable growers must wake up from
their slumbers and produce vegetables
of a better quality and get them to
market III more attractive shape. Quail
ity can only be secured by intensive
cultivation. Any vegetable grown quick.
ly is tender and delicious, while one
that it takes all summer to develop is
tough and tasteless. To secure such
frequent paintings are necessary. Rad
ishes are only ut their best for n day
or two, particularly in midsummer;
beets but week or two, and the same
is true of sweet corn, peas and beans.
What | have said regarding the
trucker is equally true with many 9th

all who wish TO improve it. l believe
there is no safer, surer road to success
than that which leads to the farm,
orchard and garden, says a writer in

COLLEGE NOTES.

The regular college examinations
closed this afternoon. Tomorrow the
annual fraternity rides take place.

An extra schedule of rhetoricals was
held this morning to allow the delin-

close of the term.
A change has been made in the
schedule of studies for next year. The
new list gives the sophomores one cleo

for the juniors have also been changed.
The sale of seats for the commence
ment concert has been very good one.
Reports are coming in from persons who
have heard Miss Hussey and they are

THE SOUND OF A PIANO.
Seeming Defects Tint May De often
Due to Exterior Causes.


"a piano." said a dealer, twill some
times develop or seem to develop a
flaw in some one note, which comes to
have rattle or Jingle or unpleasant
burr to 1t, but this Earring sound which
seems to come from the piano may in
outside of it.
ANY given note when struck pro-
duces a certain number of vibrations to
the second. There may be in the room
some object that is in tone sympathy
with some particular note, and that
will be set in motion by it when that
note is sounded.
"The owner of fine piano sent to us
one day to say that there was some
thing wrong about q certain note of
the instrument, so that that note had
an unpleasant sound when struck.
When l heard the note sounded, l knew
at once that the disagreeable rough
ness or buzz about it was due not to
any defect in the piano, but to some
thing somewhere about in the ROOM
and, asking the lady to strike that note
occasionally, l walked around the room
to see if l could locate it.
Passing across the middle of the
room as that note was struck, the
cause OF the jarring accompaniment OF
it was discovered to come from the vi
bration of one of the glass globes or
the chandelier overhead.
THE owner of the piano was almost
incredulous as to this, the sound had
seemed so plainly to come from the
piano itself. But when at my request
she stood under the chandelier and
struck the note she was readily con
WINGED.
II made that globe immovable anC
then struck the note on the piano. The
answer was clear and sweet and true.
$50, you see, the sound of the piano
may for one thing depend much upor
its surroundings, and what may seen
to be defect in piano may be in re
atty attributable to something quite
apart from the piano itself.
And thus it might easily be thai
some noble instrument that had seem
ed to be declining or to be developing
faults owed its apparent change to {
change of environment or to some spe
cifc outside cause and was in reality
as good as ever, as would happily b,
discovered whenever the instrument
was again brought under favorabl,
conditions. "-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Age of the Brass band.

"As antiquities 20 nowadays" says
Harvey Sutherland in Ainslee's, the
brass band is vSvy ancient institution
That is to say, its inventor died in 1894
at the age of eighty. There were horns
before Adolphe Sax, to be sure, but not
such horns as we have now, for they
could not play every tune in every key
They could not even play scale in my
key. The very first band entirely OF
brass was organized in 1885, and
doubt If any of the instruments ther
used could be played upon by modern
musicians without special practice. Il
is only back to 1888 when a full regi
mental band of the British army con
sisted of two oboes, two clarinets, two
horns and two bassoons. 1t must have
sounded even funnier than Tennyson''
famous combination of flute, violin anC
bassoon.'
"How long a way we have come
since 1888 may be learned from the
ensemble of a first class modern banG
The modern band of forty-two pieces
has half as many oboes and bassoon'
as the ancient band of eight pieces, sew
en- times as many clarinets and nine
times as many horns, to say nothing OF
the saxaphones, which are part clarinet
and part horn"

Fishing Through Street Gratfngs

In Winchester, England, it is quite a
common thing to see men fishing
through the street gratings. Under the
High street there flow several streams
which ultimately discharge into the
river Itchen, noted trout stream
These streams receive the storm and
surface water from the street by means
of the ordinary street grating. The line
is dropped through and fastened to the
end Of a stick small enough to go
through the CRATE. When the fish is
hooked, the line and stick are dropped
through the grating, and the fisherman
PUSHES to the point where the stream
energies from under the street and is
there able TO recover his line and land
his fish.

GOVERNOR JOHN G. MCCULLOUGH.

GOVERNOR JOHN G. MCCULLOUGH.
Governor, instead of General, will soon
be the title of that highly esteemed citi-
zen of Vermont, John G. Mccullough of
Bennington, unless the will of God for
bids. By the will of the people, as ex-
pressed through their delegates in con-
yention, he already wears the title in an
ticipation. The result as given else
where is in accordance with the prog
nostications of the REGISTER ever since
the withdrawal of Mr.. Webb. The
entrance of Mr.. Clement into the strug-
gle, and the unexpected injection
of the high license issue into the
campaign, somewhat complicated it,
but gave it exceeding interest, and made
it the fiercest contest for gubernatorial
nomination ever known in this state. At
last the common sense of most " has
prevailed, and the honor has fallen upon
the man who was best entitled, for many
reasons, to wear it, The matter of a
change in the prohibtory law is rele-
gated to the polls when members of the
legislature are chosen next fall, and that
is where it belongs. The new governor
has pledged himself to sign any bill
passed by the legislature on this issue,
and what more could the high-license,
local-optlon people want?
