A SERIOUS CUTTING ATFRAY.

Dead.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Louisburg, n. c., Aug. 17.-Wm
Ridley, a well known colored man,
dropped dead yesterday of apoplexy at
his home near here. He was one of
the old-school colored men, courteous,
affable and industrious and held the
esteem and respect of all he came in
contact with.
There was a serious cutting affray in
the colored "Tenderloin" recently, in
which a negro named Blair King was
severely slashed by one Ed. Finch
Pistol shots were heard also, but no
one so far as now known was struck
by bullets. There is a woman in the
case. Finch and the other partlcl-
pants in the ARRAY fled and the police
have not as yet succeeded in arresting
them.
The trustees of the Male Academy
here ordered the removal of the I'M
slightly billboards which so badly dis
figured the beautiful groves of the
academy and of the college directly
opposite.
The college will open on September
18th and President Davis states that
the prospects for large attendance
are very flattering.
The Male Academy will open on the
first Monday in September under new
management. This is now public
school and the trustees meet tomorrow
to elect teachers.
Mr.. Register, of Kentucky. was here
recently, and together with Col. W. t.
Hughes sounded our citizens with re-
gard to establishing a $4,000 smok-
ing tobacco factory here. 1t cannot be
learned definitely what decision was
reached. but our citizens are said to
have spoken encouragingly of the pro-
ject.

LAW SCHOOL DEAN
Mr.. TT. Mordecai to Be
at Head of Trinity's
New School.

The dean of the new Trinity College
Law School has been found In ). #.
Mordecai, Esq, of Raleigh, lawyer
of long practice whose equal in schoi-
arship, in legal technique and IN Ia
military with the basic principles OF
the Common Law and Equity can
scarcely be found either within or
without the State of North Carolina.
That the selection was most HAPPY
one in every respect every lawyer III
the State and every person, regard
less of profession, who has come into
social or business contact with Mr..
Mordecai, will be ready to concede.
In addition to pre-eminent ability as a
lawyer, the new dean possesses IN ad-
dition the judicial temperament to a
marked degree. His carefully pre-
pared cases have always gone down to
the tap root of the question at issue,
and in discussion and argument he is
as thoughtful and thorough as u sage
and as clear in exposition as an cpl
gramatist. For years he has been
sought by his fellow members of the
profession and by the judiciary as
thorough and careful adviser and his
standing as an upright and learned
jurist has always been at the top of
the list.
When, in addition, it may be truly
said that personally Mr.. Mordecai is
a quantity humorous philosopher,
warm and true friend and a man de-
void of chicane or hypocrisy, who is
possessed of Il broad-hearted Catholic
sympathy, it will be seen that Trinity
is indeed to be congratulated on the
selection made.
For four years Mr.. Mordecai has
been a professor in the school of law
at Wake Forest, devoting several days
of the week only to the work. In this
way he has come into an intimate
knowledge of the practical problems
of legal instruction which make him
even more valuable than he would
otherwise be. He is one who appeals
strongly to the ideas and ambitions of
young men, and who rapidly gains
their affections For the position he
has been called on to fill he is unique
ly fitted.
The above may seem to SAVIOR of
fulsome praise to some who do not
know sam" Mordecai; to those who
do know him, it will seem to be but an
inadequate application.
1t is understood that Trinity's new
is built on broad lines, is
to be handsomely equipped and its
plans contemplate one of the foremost
law schools of the South. In that
event Mr.. Mordecai is the man for its
head.

SOFTNESS OF SEALSKIN.

Dandruff is Eradicated.

Sealskin is admired the world over for
its softness and glossiness; and yet the

hair trouble is dandruff, which is caused
by pestiferous parasite that saps the

Herpicide is the only preparation that is
fatal to the dandruff germ. Without dan
