They are Madison Boys.

To the Editor: We notice in your TO-
DAVIS paper "wednesday the following
statement, which is not true; Inc
Sharpe boys are new factors in the base
ball circles. but when We look over the
men of the Sharpe team. we see many
familiar names in the baseboll world
such as Pool, Walters Tucker, etc. p"
These boys are not members of the
Sharpe team, but are students of Madi-
son Institute and Business College, ano
are members of the Madison school team
and do not play with the Sharpe boys.
1t is unfair to put these boys with n
team that has never won single game
known to the writer, and if you say
their names among those which compose
the Sharpe team, / feel sure they We're
put there without the knowledge or con-
sent of these boys.
The Madison team is one of the strong
est. if not the strongest school team i'll
the State. Last year we won all but
two games out of some seventeen played
This year all the colleges seem to be
afraid to play our boys.

A HORRIBLE DOUBLE MURDER
Prosperous Farmer and Colo1ed Man Shot and
the House Burned Over Them.

A horrible double murder was COM
mittcd near Whteville a few nights ago
Under cover of the rain and darkness the
assassin or assassians crept up to the
home of Mr.. Jesse Soles, prosperous
farmer of that section, and shot both him
and colored man named Jim Staley as
the two sat by the fireside. The house
was then fired and the corpses of the two
men partially burned, only their charred
trunks having been found in the ashes of
the destroyed home the following day
The bodies could not be identified eX-
cept by the keys found by the larger
man. These keys were always carried
by Mr.. Soles and as he was the larger
man it was naturally supposed to be-his
remains.
The motive for the deed was evidently
robbery. The negro Jim Staley was re-
ported to have from $500 to $1,000 and
Mr.. Soles had about SIS in the house.
No trace of this was found in the ashes
of the burnt building and as part of the
money was gold and silver it is believed
to have been stolen.
Several shots were heard in the direc-
ton of Soles home about 1880 O'Clock on
the night the crime was committed and
later that night several saw the light
from the burning house,
A coroners jury was empanneled and
an investigation made. This resulted III
nothing more than a strong suspicion be-
ing formed The investigation was not
finished and the jury Will meet at White
willie TO-DAY to complete their work.

SAFE CRACKERS AGAIN
PROFESSIONALS Separated affair
ner Yesterday Morning.
They Secured About $40 From The Safe of Mr..
Hal D. Ran6---Prz.d 0p-n The
Front Door.

Safe crackers have made their appear
aLce in this section. Yesterday mornin,
about O'Clock the store of Mr.. Hal d
Rand, at Garner. five miles from Raj
eigh. was entered and his safe blowr
open with dynamite.
The work was evidently tina
OF professionals, and they laiC
their plans well. The parties Sc
cured about $4,000 in money, which had
been left in the store, being the sales OF
the preceding day. The safe was blown
completely to pieces, the door being
wrenched off the hinges.
No one knows what time the
store was entered, but about
O'Clock a rumbling noise was heard by
parties living near and they paid no at
tention to il, as a freight was on the yard
at the time. and they supposed it was
some noise from this train.
The burglars entered by the
front door by pricing it open
after failing to get in at the back en-
trance. In the safe was over hundred
dollars in stamps, belonging to the post
office at Garner. and several registered
letters which the postmaster had been
in the habit of placing in Mr.. Rand's safe
at night for safe keeping. These were
not taken or molested in any way, which
goes to prove that the men were after
money only.
The safe crackers evidently waited I'M
til the train came along to blow up the
safe so the noise would drown the ex
plosion.
Up to few weeks ago Mr.. Rand clerk
always slept in the store, but of late he
has had his room elsewhere and no one
was in the store at the time There is
no clue as to who committed the deed, as
no one for the past two or three days OF
a suspicious appearance has been seen
lurking around the village.
Mr.. ]. b. Richardson, the agent of the
railroad at Garner, says about week
ego a stranger hung around the town
few hours, saying he had been in the late
war and was going to visit his brother
pear Clayton, and in talking to him he
enquired if anyone slept in Mr.. Rand's
store or the depot. He asked Mr.. Rich
ardson to give him ticket to Clayton,
claiming he was sick, tired and unable
to walk.

Where the soul wears It's mantle o,

And now on the midnight sky look,
And my heart grows full of weeping;
Each star Is to me a sealed book
Some tale of that loved one keeping

On the banks of that lonely river;
But the odor and bloom of those bygone
years
Shall hang DER it's waters forever.
