The speaker eloquently pictured Peter S

been tried some two months before.

THE APOSTLE PETER.
State Treasurer Lacy's Lecture at
Central M. z. Church.

Central Methodist Church was filled
last night, when State Treasurer b. R.
Lacy lectured under the auspices OF the
Epworth League of Raleigh. His subject
was "a Sketch OF the Apostolic Peter
Delightful music was rendered, a duet
bv Mrs. kephart and Mrs. Albright. and
solos by Mrs. Carl Duncan and Mrs Hor
ace Dowel!
Mr.. Lacy started out by saying that as
he was not a minister he did not speak
by authority, but merely intended to give
swetch of the Apostolic Peters life and
draw a few lessons from it, He paid "a
tribute to Pope Leo XIII, saying that
although he belonged to one Of the most
atistocratic and ancient families of Italy
and was one of its wealthiest and best
educated men, nevertheless he had chosen
life of the hardest kind of self-denial,
in that he gave up the hope of home
and family to serve the Lord as a priest.
From the fact that Leo was sixty-eight
years old before he was made Pope We.
ought TO draw the lesson that it is never.
tC0 late, that we ought never to say that
our lives are wasted, but to push ever
forward to nohler, higher, grander
achievements.
ought to be no dissension among the diff
ferent denominations of Christians An
ought to work together against the com

have been il the cavalry in Lees army
had arrayed itself against the infantry
for instance, instead of standing together
against the enemy
Then Mr. Lacy went on to speak OF
Andrew calling Peter to Christ, and from
this drew the lesson that one ought al
ways to go t. his nearest and dearest
relatives first with the gospel after he
himself has received it, instead OF goint
10 strangers and ones own people last;
and from the fact that Andrew did not
wait to put away his net and boats, bu

KILLED MY MAMA
Wounded Negro Boy
Names Will Adams.
SAYS He Killed Mary Bridgers to GET
Money and Then Attacked
Little Children to Hide
Murder.

The weight of positive testimony has
been added to the chain Of circumstances
winding about VIII Adams.
He is the negro now in jail charged with
the brutal murder of a mother and her
little daughter, both negroes, at their
home, near Mlburnie, last Friday after
noon. On the circumstantial evidence the
coroner's jury named Adams as the muir
Gcrer of Mary Bridgers and Lillian Bird
gers.
The four-year- old boy, George who was
stricken at the same time and left for
dead, is still alive. He was taken to the
home of Sidney Hall, colored, the day
after the double murder, and wounded
badly in the face is being cared for there.
re has SO far recovered from the terri
blc blow over his mouth, which broke out
his teeth that he is able to talk, and he
gives the positive testimony which points
10 Will Adams as the murderer.
lie killed my mama!' the little boy is
reported to have said in calling the name
oil Will Adams, and then in childish talk
tells of the crime.
It is that Adams came into the house
ard after being there for some time
drove Mary Bridgers out with an axe,
which he had secured from the wood pile
re chased her to the cotton patch and
there. after a brief struggle, struck her
in the temple with the axe. the woman
falling at once.
The Mortified children had run to the
Gocr. and as Adams came back to search
for the money he thought was in the
house he saw them. Wit his axe bloody
with her mothers blood. he Drained the
little girl. six years old and picking up a
stick. followed the boy, striking him
across the mouth with the heavy stick and
telling him TO the floor.
The $500 in money the brute must have
secured afterwards, and then he took to
fight II was in the course of this fight
that he was seen by Mr.. f. c. Holding,
who testifes that it was Adams who
squatted near the road when he called to
him.
The evidence of the boy. added to the
chain OF circumstantial evidence. makes
out the strongest possible case against
Adams, and this new testimony strengthens
the verdict Of the coroner's jury.
