 The young man has been disappoint- ed in a love affair, and this is the only excuse for his rash act. He took the poison in bed and made all preparations for death and burial. but after taking the stuff he apparently regretted it and called his father and told him what he had done
 Dr. Cohane, of Howard avenue. was at once called and relieved the would be suicide as best he could, and there is hope that he will recover.
 Young Ender has been in the Yale Medical school for two years and is a bright student He purchased the pois- #on at the Yale pharmacy, corner of York and Chapel streets, but no thought was given that he intended self-de- struction with it.
 The young lady concerned in the case sis Miss Julia Shields, the youngest daughter of Patrolman Shields, of the Dixwell avenue precinct. She is a very .estimable young woman and none of the family can assign any reason for Ender's act beyond the fact that Miss Shields did not care to go with him.

Bail Hearing on Thursday, 21st.
Raleigh Cor. Messenger: The
counsel for Ernest Haywood, who is
confined in jail here for shooting and
killing Ludlow Skinner in front of
the p~ost-ofice, Saturday, February
21st, to-day instituted habeas corpus
proceedings for his release from Gus
tody on bail. His petition was
drawn up by Messrs. Argo & Shaffer.
Col. Thos. M. Argo, of the counsel
for the defendant, this morning pre-
sented to Judge Robert M. Douglas,
of the Supreme Court, a petition for
writ of habeas corpus. The purpose
of the petition is to have a hearing
before Judge Douglas in order that
MI. Haywood may be admitted to
bail. After reading the petition,
which was duly verified, Judge Doug
las issued the writ, making it return
able before him in the rooms of the
Supreme Court on Thursday after
noon, May 81, at $50 p. m. He also
ordered that the Clerk of the SUPERB
or Court of Wake County should
issue such s~ubpoenas and process as
might be requested by the prosecu-
ton or the defense. Justice Douglas
announced that he would request
some other Judge of the Supreme
Court to sit with him upon the hear
ing of the case. It will be a hard
fought legal battle and the number
of witnesses in this case will doubt
less break all criminal records here.
The defense claims to have discover
ed important witnesses since the
March court. One of the lawyers
for the accused said to-day that he
would not be surprised if the total
number of witnesses for the defense
and prosecution exceeded 100. On
the other hand, Senator Woodland,
of the prosecution, thinks there may
be 22O or 23O witnesses. If anything
like this number are to be examined,
Judge Douglas has a lengthy hearing
on his hands.
Later.-Judge Douglas has post
poned the hearing till Thursday,
May 28th.

Wilson dispatch, 14th:> Last night
about 1 o'clock there was a terrible
tragedy in Goldsboro street in this
town, in which T. P. Jones was so
badly wounded that he died a few
hours later, and John Allen received
a painful wound through the should
er. George Whitley gave Jones no
tice yesterday to leave town or a
crowd would take him in hand.
Jones declined to leave, but took out
a peace warrant against Whitley,
who was required to give bond to
keep the peace. About the hour

The Counties Which are Supporting the
Others.

A deep impression was produced
upon the press and people Of North
Carolina by the recent showing made
by DR.. Geo. W. Graham, of this
city, from the Treasurer's report,
that for the fiscal year 1902, just
one-half of the counties of the State
received from the State Treasury
for PENSIONS, schools and support
of their citizens in public institu-
tions, more money than they paid
into it. It was a shocking, almost
incredible statement, that half the
counties of the State are pauper
and are supported by the other half,
but the Treasurer's figures bear it
out, and to advert to the matter now
is timely, inasmUch as the season for
tax listing and for the re-assess-
ment of real estate is near at hand.
It might not be kind to print here
a list of the counties which are
pensioners upon the others-a kind
er way of giving the public the in
formation on the subject which it
should have is to give a list of the
counties which pay into the State
Treasury a surplus of revenue over
what they receive from it, and this
list follows:
Alamance, Beaufort, BERTHE, Bun
combe, Cabarrus, Camden, Catawba,
Cherokee, Chowan, Craven, Davie,
Durham, Edgecombe, Forsyth, Frank
lin, CASTOR, Graham, Greene, Gull
ford, Halifax, Henderson, Hartford,
Iredell, Jackson, Jones, Lenoir,
Martin, Mecklenburg, Moore, Nash,
New Hanover, Northampton, Ons-
low, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Per-
son, Pitt, Richmond, Robson, Rock
ingham, Rowan, Scotland, Swain,
Vance, Wake, Warren, Washington,
Wayne and Wilson.
The counties which are in the
vocative run up an aggregate deficit
of $~121,575.83; those which pay a
surplus have to their credit an ag-
gregate sum of $2O8, 1850. The
county paying the largest surplus is
Mecklenburg-$19,915.2O; the coun-
ty with the least surplus to it's ac-
count is Franklin-$14O.72.
The figures tell but one story, and
that points to the necessity for a
more equitable system of taxation
between the counties. It is clear
that in some of them property is re-
turned and assessed at figures far
