Jacob Little, an old negro living
in what is known as the Round
abouts on Neuse river, came to the
city Monday and reported that his E3
year old son John killed the Z ye r
old daughter of his sister Sunday
with a shot gun. The boy had the
gun in the kitchen and was fos,!ing
with the trigger in such a manner
as caused the gun to fire. The gun
was heavily loaded and killed the
child instantly by tearing Off the top
part of her head. While there was no
eye witness to the tragedy the old
man believes that the shooting was
| done accidentally.

The Confederate Veteran, o. ais
city and county are moving TO lave
Gen'l Gordon come to this clty on
some date in November and de-
liver his noted and brilliant and
stirring address on "The Last Days
Of the COnfederacy." A large num-
Der of tickets must be taken in order
TO meet the requirement, and it is
to be hoped that our citizens will
respond commensurate to the ne.es-
sity. Every n should hear this lee
'ure-especially the rising genera
zion, the youth of our time, who
~hould be rightly informed of the
erea, Issues of the wal of the Con-
tederacy and the heroic struggle of
its immortal army in defense of
their rights and their convictions:
and who is better qualified to do
this than Gen. Gordon, himself a
soldier of that army, and the idol of
the men who followed him. Let us
give him an audience creditable to !
GOldshOrO, creditable to her menu
cries and reverence of the Lost
Cause.
It is indeed with exceeding regret
that the ARGUS chronicles the as !
OFT. 1sr, of the Acme Ma
chine Works of this city, of which
Mr.. J. ]. Street was the president
and the moving spirit. Energetic, J
honest and liberal, he builded a great !;
plant here that is capable of the very !
finest work, but in doing so he i'm
poverished himself of operating capt.
ta1-that for such a plant is needed
in large volume-and consequently |
he has been handicapped from the
very start, and those more convers-
ant with the needs of such an enter
prise will, therefore, not be surprised
at this announcement. Mr.. Street
puts all the creditors of his plant on
a pro rata basis, and it is probable
that with judicous, management on
the part of the trustee, Mr.. I. f.
Dortch, every dollar Of the indebted
ness will be paid i'll tull and still
leave a surplus. We sincerely hope
80, at any rate, for certainly was there
never a more honest assignment, nor |
a man more absolutely DESTROYS of
always doing the fair thing than Mr.. |
Street. The liabilities as scheduled
in the deed of trust amount to about
49, 0O.
A SAD DEATH.
