He identified the pr. soner as the

mitted that he did the shooting.
Shorty after the admission made

A rope was procured and the
hanging would have proceeded

gifted with quick thought and a
sharp knife, cut the rope into
short bits too short for the pur-

Many of the passengers locomo
tives on the Southern Pacific road
are now using fuel oil instead of
coal. The improvement N the
comfort to travellers, especially
during the hot weather is very
great and much appreciated. The
absence of flying cinders is very
pleasant. There remains but one
more step to be taken by the rail
road company to give this people
the most enjoyable travel III the
country that is to oil the road
bed to keep down the dust. 1t
strikes us that it would have the
further advantages of killing the
grass and weeds and of prevent
ing the track rom becoming sc
wafer soaked in rainy spells.

Meeting With Success.

Prof. Holley, principal of the col
ored school, seems to be a man who
is not contentcd to rest from his la
bors in behalf Of his school just be-
cause his term of teaching has ex-
pired and his salary has stopped
He realizes fully that in order to
make his work more effective that a
better, more comfortable school
buildings must be provided, and he
is putting in his vacation time in
trying to build up a sentiment and
collect dollars with which to build
Il better house. The News is pleased
to note that his efforts, coupled with
those of w. R. Rome, the supervi,
sOr are meeting with some success,
and that the prospects look bright
for the accomplishment of their dc =
lires. Two entertainments were
held in Whiteville last week for the
purpose of increasing the fund for
this purpose, and subscription pa
per is being circulated to good ad-
vantage. The present school builG-
ing is miserable affair, but by the
expenditure of little money it can
be enlarged and improved, and it
now looks as if this money would be
raised, thanks to the efforts of Prin-
cipal Holley.

Veterans Picnic.

An effort is being made by the mer.
chants and citizens generally to in.
duce the veterans of the Blue and
Gray to hold their annual picnic in
Crescent City this year, and Mayor
Sprague has sent to the committee
having the picnic in charge cordial
invitation. The picnic will probably
be held some time during the latter
part of the month.
Two years ago the veterans held
their picnic here and it was one of
the most successful meetings of the
kind ever held in the state. The
people of the place have fitted up a
speakers stand in the south park, a
well shaded ground having a natural
ampitheater like shape, and where
every comfort will be provided for
the convenience of the picknicers,
with tables for their lunches, and
where hot coffee will be served. Our
people will have especial pleasure in
entertaining this gathering of old
heroes, and the governing commit
tee can do us no greater honor
than in selecting this town for their
1902 gathering.

Goes to the philippines.

DR.. and Mrs. Luther S. Harvey are
spending couple of weeks in town,
the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. w. b.
Clore. Prior TO the Spanish-Ameri-
cab war DIR. Harvey resided here
two years and was exceedingly pop
ular socially and as a physician. AT
the breaking out of the war he enter
ed the volunteer service as a surgeon
and went to Cuba, where he served
in various parts of the island. AT
the close of the war he remained
there and engaged as a contract
physician and surgeon at Puerto
Principe and Baracoa. At the latter
place he met the lady who is now
his wife, and who is the daughter OF
one of the old and wealthy Spanish
families of the place. Latterly the
doctor has been stationed at Hol-
gum in the north central part of the
province of Santiago de Cuba. The
withdrawal of large part of the
American troops from the island has
caused the transfer of DIR. Harvey to
the PHILIPPINE service, and with Mrs.
Harvey and little six weeks old In
FAINT he is now making for that far
away country, stopping over for a
short visit with old friends here.
The doctor and wife will go from
here TO Nurth Carolina, thence to his
old home in Detroit. Mich. for a
visit, before sailing for his new post
of duty.

THE CRESCENT CRY News.

Mr.. Coe. ID. Smith leaves this week
for Jacksonville, and after spending
a few days in that city, will continue
his journey to his home on Long Is
land. Mr.. Smith is usually one of
the earliest of our winter arrivals
and one of the last to go, so that his
departure is looked upon as marking
the end of the season. He has been
coming to Crescent City so many
years and has spent so much of his
time here that he has come to he re-
garded as one of us, and the leading
one at that.
Mr.. and Mrs. Abner Atwood, of
Pautucket, r. l., have been spending
a few days in town guests at Grove

manufacturer of Pautucket, and in
his great spool factory the machines
used are of his own invention. His
factory has contract which requires
him to furnish 5000 gross of spools
per week to the Coates Thread Com
pany, and besides this he furnishes
spools to other cotton and silk thread
manufacturers. Mr.. Atwood has a
winter home at Thonotosassa, Fla,
and came to Crescent City for a few
days on his way north to visit some
old Massachusetts friends who re-
side here. He is very pleasant
gentleman and is quite taken with
the beauty of Crescent City's loca-
ton.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Sample, of
Albany, N. N, arrived at Grove
Hall last Saturday for a months

has been so taken up with the en-
largement of his business this winter
that he had not thought he could
spare time to make his accus-
toned Florida trip, but he found
that the sail work and no play
theory was not the correct one fer
him, SO he said to Mrs. Sample:
"We'll go to Crescent City for the
month of April and hear the birds
sing and get sniff of the flowers,
and here we are" Mr.. and Mrs.
Sample think April one of the pleas
