NEW TRIAL FOR WILCOX.
The Supreme Court of North Carolina
So Decides.

Raleigh, N. c., Sept. 30.-The supreme
court of North Carolina today handed
down an opinion in the famous Nellie
Cropsey case, in which James Wilcox was
charged with the murder of Nellie Cropsey
in Elizabeth City last November. The court
gives Wilcox new trial.
The case is familiar one to the public.
Nellie Cropsey, a beautiful young girl,
disappeared at night from her home in
Elizabeth City. She had last been seen
with Wilcox, al one time her sweetheart,
Suspicion fell on him, but he was not
arrested. Thirtv-seven days afterward
her body was found in Pasquotank river,
and Wilcox was arrested. He was tried
and sentenced to be hanged. He stoutly
declared his innocence and an appeal to
the supreme court was taken.
In granting new trial, the supreme
court says the evidence was entirely cir.
cumstanlial; that the jury does not seem
to have given the necessary cautious and
vigilant attention to the evidence, or TO
the presentation Of the prisoners case by
counsel 1t Gays that the conduct of the
spectators in and about the court was suf-
fcient to prejudice the jury. mo such
demonstrations, "reads the opinion, were
ever Witnessed in our state before"
Among these demonstrations were
people leaving The court room in body
and the ringing of fire alarm. The court
does not find the jury WAS influenced by
these things, but viewing all of thus
disorderly conduct, it says the trial was
not conducted IN the proper form Of lass,
and gives new trial to Wilcox, which,
it says, must he attended 10y no such
demonstrations of lawlessness and in
timidation as were present on the former
occasion. The next term of the court be
gins in Pasquotank county on November
II, and the case will be heard again at
that time.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

We told our readers that the pledge Of
the Democratic party that no white man
should be DISTINGUISHED would not be kept.
The very manner and character of the
new registration is humiliation to every
honorable man. 1t ls the most despisaDle
inquisition ever inflicted upon Virginians.
AS good, honest citizen as any in the
west end of this county was turned down
on the understanding clause" He lacked
fifteen cents of paying enough State tax
to register under the property clause. His
two sons and two sons in-law al! good men, g,
went down before the august registrars
who undertake to read and expound the
Constitution. 1t is needless 10 say that
all the five men are Republicans.
From present indications there will be a
hundred or more white men disfranchised
by the understanding clause" in Tazewell
county. Most of these men who haveI been
turned down by the registrars are as good,
honest citizens as can be found in the
county. They are poor and uneducated
and were unable 10 answer the technical
registrars who are doing this work could
not register under the understanding
clause" if they undertook 10 do it, and
the clause was as strictly applied 10 them
as they are applying it to others. How
does this conform to the pledge made by
Senator Daniel, Governor Montague and
and ali the Democratic members of the
Constitutional Convention that no white
man should be disfranchised?

Another Partisan Trick.

In 1895 the Democratic machine thought
best for their purposes to have three pre-
cincts at Pocahontas instead of one. They
took the necessary steps to that end, the
county court granted their request, on the
3rd day of April, 1895 established three
voting precincts at Pccahontas. The ma
chine has now come 10 the conclusion that
it will be better for their purposes to have
only one precinct at Pocahontas, and the
necessary notice was posted that the coun'
ty court would be requested to consolidate
the three precincts into one. We under
stand that this notice was signed by twen-
ty-seven men, all living in the bounds of
one precinct. The matter came up in the
county court yesterday morning and the
court pr omptly granted the petition of the
twenty seven.

Philippine Affairs.

Manila, Sept. 27.-Three companies of
infantry, commanded by Captain Ella
helmnck, of the Tenth infantry, left Camp
Wears, Islands of Mndanoa, Thursday, to
reconnOitre the Moro forts and recover
stolen arms. They encountered only
slight opposition. The column charged
and destroyed the forts. A few Moros
were killed. The American troops had no
casualties. A fanatical] Moro armed with
bolo charged the column alone.
Brigadier S. S. Sumner is preparing to
send an expedition against the Macin sui
tans, who still reject the overtures for
peace negotiations. Many friendly Moros
arrived at Camp Wears yesterday. to visit
General Sumner. They promised to COL
tinue peaceful.

Or. Grianell took many atidavits. and
was able TO lay before the President
unmistalable proof that the rights Of
the Indians had been d!sregarded In the
leasing of the lands
4 number of Indians testified that
they had been threatened by the agent
with imprisonment in the guardhouse if
they refused TO siga their consent TO
the lease. Had the inquiry been made
earlier DR.. Grinnell would have advised
against the leasing OF any of the Stand
ing Rock lands. as the Indians are in
creasing their cattle and are in few
years likely TO require all the lands OF

Innings of unintcresting and listless ball
playing, the former aggregation came

hard to secure two.
The losing team was very weak in the
pitching department. Three twirlers

their opponents had dorned their hitting

other change was made in the seventh
inning, when Lay went in and held the
Commissioners down.

amateurs and contestants confined to
members of tse order, and both classes
drew many entries.

About / o'ciocl, the rain came down In
