Ex-Assistant District Attorney Charles

ed that certain talesmen should not be
permitted 10 enter the jury box. They
agreed with her when she whispered into
their ears that Il would be much safer to

that compelled him TO disobey the order
OF the clerk and to look away from where
the defendant was standing.

THE WAKEFIELD SECTION.
Some Interesting Facts About Eastern Section
of County.

Prof. r. E. Sentelle, of Wakefield, was
IN Raleigh yesterday. Prof. Sentelle will
&c remembered as candidate before the
primaries for the nomination as Repre-
sentative. Prof. Sentelle made a good
race and showed himself to be we'll

Classical and Mathematical Institute"
and mas made it, through his untring eff
forts, high class school Think of over
TWO hundred pupils being enrolled in
s3hooi situated in town of about 200
ihhaoltants' twenty miles from a rail-
ROAD. ms Is just the case with Prof.
Sentelle's school. He lis an enthusiastic
educator and his efforts have stimulated
the people in the Wakefield section along
educational lines
He is an ardent supporter of the pro-
jectcd Raleigh and Great Eastern Rail
way which will pass through Wakefield
He says that there are thousands of
acres of timber land in the aboriginal
state along the projected line of this
road. 1t is one of the best farming sec
tionS in this part of the State. Millions
of pounds of tobacco are raised by the
farmers in this section, the soil being
specially adapted to the cultivation Of
I fine grade tobacco. This tobacco is
now marketed at Louisburg. a distance
of seventeen miles; Youngsville, d dis
lance of seventeen miles, and Nashville,
a distaneesof about twenty miles. Il this
railroad is built Wakefield will be a big
tobacco market and her trade. being in
direct connection with Raleigh, will
necessarily be done through Raleigh.
Cotton and, corn are raised in great
quantities by the farmers and is sold
elsewhere tn; in Raleigh. The business
men of Raleigh should interest them
selves in, this projected railroad and
bring the plals to successful consum-
nation. 1t means much to Raleigh.
