Indicted for Disturbing Public Worship

John Hardy, a white man, went
to Smiths mill Oh Sunday August 2ls'l
where the colored people gathered H.,
the purpose of witnessing a baptism
and to engage in public worship.
Hardy grossly disturbed the colored
people in their worship by repeating
the baptismal ceremony to dog and
throwing him into the water. The act
was repeated greatly to the disturbance
of the worshipers.
Some of the colored people indicted
Hardy and the case was heard before
Justice J. A. Perry Monday. Mess. A.
P. Kitchin and Stuart H. Smith APP
peared for Hardy and Mr.. Albion
Dunn for the State. The guilt Of the
defendant was acknowledged, but the
question OF Jurisdiction was raised.
Mr.. Dunn, for the State, commended
that the magistrate did not haye juris-
diction and must therefore bind Hardy
oyer to the Criminal court while
Ness. Kitchln and Smith commended
that the magistrate did have jurisdict-
ion and should dismiss the defendant
with fine and cost.
Justice Perry reserved his decision
for two days. The case was to be CALI
ed at 10 O'Clock to-day, but rumors
say that Hardy has skipped.

Death of Little Clarence Burgess.

On Thursday night, August 25th
little Clarence Burgess, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. B. Burgess, died at their home
| In Scotland Neck, aged three years.
For two weeks the little sufferer.bat.
tied with disease, and all that loving
parents could do was done for him
but at last the summons came.
Despite the prayers and hopes of the
fond parents for its recovery the little
spirit was liberated from its tenement
of earth to bloom in Gods garden OF
beauty above.
Clarence was sweet and attractive
child, the youngest in the family and
almost the idol of his parents and so
the aflliction is peculiarly sore.
The remains were taken to Deep
Creek church for interment Friday,
Rey. G. 7. Lumpkin conducting the
services.
The friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Burgess
deeply sympathise with them in their
afflictlon.

was called to Enfield with his blood
hounds to track safe blowers who en-
tered the post office Monday night
about one o'clock.
BY some noise of pistol shot or
something of the kind in town there
was suspicion that something was
wrong and when investigation was
made at the post Office it vas found
that some one had forced the WINDOW
had entered and had blown open the
post office safe and had taken out
nearly ST. 900 in money and stamps.
Mr.. Dunn's dogs gave trail through
some back lots but were unable 10
track Tar.
Two strange men had been seen In
Enfield Monday, and suspicion rested
upon them as soon az 1t was leafneo
that the post office bad been broken
open, but when Mr.. Dunn came away
Tuesday no Roadway had been mace
towards apprehending the guilty
parties.
