No NEW TRIAL FOR
UTLEY.
Supreme Court Handed Down
Its Decision in the Case
Yesterday.

The Supreme Court has refused to
grant Ed. s. Utley new trial.
The opinion was handed down yesterday
and it affirms the judgment of the Cum
borIand County Superior Court, which
convicted Utley of murder in the second
degree. The sentence was twenty years
in the State penitentiary.
Utley's crime was the shooting and
killing of Theo. b. Hollngsworth. night
clerk at the Hotel Lafayette in Fay
etteville
The appeal for a new trial was argued
on March 18th before the Supreme Court
UtIey was represented by Judge Thos. H
Sutton, of Fayetteville, and Col. John w
Hinsdale, of this city. For the State, be
sides the Attorney General appeared
Messrs. II. l.. Cook and n A. Sinclair
OF Fayetteville.
Utley asked for a new trial on the
ground that the fourteen jurors of the
special venire, who had been stood to the
foot of the panel, We're not called upon
the exhaustion of the panel in the same
order in which they stood aside, but their
names were put in a hat and called by
lot.
Another contention of Utley's was that
the Judge below committed error in his
charge as to what evidence would reduce
the offence from murder in the second
degree to manslaughter.
The State held that there was no ele-
ment of manslaughter in the easel that
1t was either first or second degree muir
der, and based their contention upon thu
whole evidence in the case.
The opinion of the Supreme Court was
written by Associate Justice Montcom-
cry. 1t held that the trial was regular
and that the Judge Below had committed
no error

SAYS mot y
Prefers Collectors Salary to
State Craftsmanship.
Pritchard will Dictate the Choice and il SEEMS
That Son-iL-Law Rollins is 10
Win Out.

mo, sir, | am not candidate.
That's what Internal Revenue CoIiec'
tor Carl Duncan said yesterday.
He had with him ticket that gave
him railroad ride to Greensboro, and
he was waiting for his train.
Seen by a reporter Mr.. Duncan appear
ed lost in thought, but he was aroused
by the query:
Are you a candidate for Republican
State Chairman to succeed Judge Pritch-
ard?"
Then Collector Carl smiled. 1t was a
winsOme smile, smile at once child
like and bland. NO" quothed he, y
am not candidate"
"Wherefore?" insisted the reporter.
''Why," said Mr.. Duncan, Il can't be
Collector and Chairman, and | am not
going to resign the Federal position and
the salary in order to be chairman. The
man who started that report was way
off He certainly had no authority from
me for stating that l was candidate
or the State craftsmanship.
The train had backed into Raleigh
Union Station with it's leaking roof, and
darting here and there between the fall
ing drops and the water pools on the
boarding the passengers We're climbing
on the platforms. Collector Carl joined
in the rush and got aboard.
'No, | am going to hold on to my
salary on the Federal pay roll and let
the honor of State chairman go some
where else was the message that his
twinkling eyes sent back. Il know a
good thing when I'm up against it.
"And who will get it," Some say that
Son-in-Law Rollins is going 20 be showed
aside by some one else, but here at
Raleigh it does not so appear From
Republicans here and there in the city
comes the name of Rollins as the sue
cessor of Pritchard, and if he don't get
the place, it will simply be that Papain-
Law Jeter don't want him to have it.
For Jeter is still the Big Boss, no mat
ter whether it is the State Convention or
the State Executive Committee that is
going to meet 1t is to be his will that
will be registered when the Republican
State Executive Committee meets in
Greensboro tomorrow.
A number of members of the commit
tee are already in Greensboro and there
will be more than a quorum there today.
There will be a caucus today and it is
more than probable that the slate will
be fixed before the committee meets reg
ularly and the slate seems to be Thomas
S Rollins, of Ashcville, for State chair
man.

Mr. POWELL REPLIES
Is Nominee of Democratic
Party and Will Ask the
Peoples Vote.

On+last Friday Mr.. ]. S. Wynne wrote
private letter to Mayor Powell, in
which he stated that Mayor Powell had
received 400 votes at the primary against
| !, 055 in favor of a change, and asking him
/ if he was willing to take the nomination
under the circumstances. Mr.. Wynne
further stated that he readily consented
to Mr.. Arendells resolution as he first
drew it, to refer the matter back to a
primary taking the two highest and re-
qure a majority to nominate, but that
he did not favor having all the candidates
again before the people, as the resolu-
tion was finally presented.
Nothing short of an opportunity to
vote on this matter again would give sat
sfaction, wrote Mr.. Wynne. He told Mr..
Powell very plainly that the people were
very much dissatisfied, and that there
was a growing sentiment in favor of put
ting an independent in the field, He had
been asked to run, but had declined.
He also called attention to a promise
made by Mayor Powell to him two years
ago that he would not be a candidate this
time
No one knew better than Mr.. Powell
that no such combination as had been
charged had ever been made.
He asked if Mayor Powell was willing
for a new primary, or if there were any
objection to this, would he be willing
that the people be left free to vote their
choice. If Mayor Powell should force
himself upon the people against their
WILL his administration could be nothing
but failure. If he (Mr. Wynne had re-
ceived the vote of every delegate in the
convention and then found a majority of
the people opposed to him, he would have
withdrawn at once.
Such is a brief outline of Mr.. Wynnes
letter to Mayor Powell.
Yesterday Mayor Powell wrote his re-
ply. 1t was extremely brief and to the
point, consisting of only few lines.
Mr.. Powell simply wrote that it was
understood that he was the nominee of
the Democratic party, and that he would
have supported him (Mr. Wynne or any
one else that might have been nominated.
He mayor Powell would ask the people
to support him and the whole Democratic
ticket at the polls on election day.

The Christmas shopping season
is at hand and it will be the right
and proper thing to look up your
home merchants before sending
out for goods. Remember that all
the merchants of the city have
stocked up this season and expect
to receive their just share of the
trade. In fact. they are entitled
to all the trade of Ely. 1t is
through their efforts the town has
been built up to its present high
standard. The business houses of
a town are what makes a city.
Remember the firms that helped
you, and remember that every dol
lar left in Ely will help local citiz-
ems, and that means an indirect
help to you. The goods sold in Ely
are second to none in the big cities
and prices are in most instances
lower. The mail order houses are
making strong efforts to get your
trade by offering inferior goods at
lower prices. You run chances in
sending for goods that you do not
run by buying where you can see
what you are getting and from
merchan is who are willing to make
good any errors or deficiencies.
Patronize those that help to build
up the city, churches, schools, and
those men whom you can go to in
case of a pinch aud who have al
ways been willing to help you out.
Look over the MINER and trade
with those who invite you to call.

Some one.-we know not his name
has been filling the newspapers for the
past three weeks with shot air" in re-
gard to Congressman Brownlow stand
ing as the candidate from the south
for vice-president, and, of course, they
nominate him without opposition and
select Capt. W. II. Nelson as the re-
publican candidate for congress in the
first district. Well, we hardly think
Nelson will go to congress. Col.
Brownlow got bow-legged "toting Old
Bill Nelson into the state senate, and
it will take a stronger man than even
Brownlow to carry him into congress.
In our opinion Capt. Nelson will retire
with the honors he has already had
sand-bagged for him by the boys, tc
private life. Mr.. Brownlow will stay
in congress and some northern or west
ern man will be on the tail of the ticket
We believe that Mr.. Brownlow woult
rather represent the first district il
congress than to be vice-president. -
