Bloody Fight over a Girl.


Elizabeth City, Special.-Particulars
have reached the city of a bloody fight
which occurred at Davis store, in
Providence township, about one mile
from Berea, and about seven miles
from this city, Saturday night. The
origin of the trouble, which was
between the McPhersons and the Jen-
nings, seems to have been caused by
the attention that was bestowed on
one of the McPhersons and n of the
Jennings boys by a young lady of the
neighbOrhood. Sometime ago, so 1t
is reported, John P~ritchafd, who is a
member of the Mcpherson group, gave
the young lady in the case a watch.
She in turn loaned or gave it to young
Grover Jennings. Pritchard saw Jen-
nings with the watch. and it was de-
cided that all should meet one night
last week and settle the matter. The
meeting was postponed until Saturday
night, when all met at Davis store
and the melee began. Just how it
started no one is able to tell, but when
the smoke had cleared away it was
found that three of the Mcpherson
boys were badly cut. two of them e
riously, n having his throat cut and
the other had his ear entirely severed.
Daniel Jennings, father of the Jen-
nings boys, aged about 60 years, was
right badly cut in the shoulder. and
two of the Jennings boys were cut, M
in the arm and the other in the face.
During the fight which lasted for
some time. Mrs. Davis. in front Of
whose house it occurred, acted as sur
geon, and bound up the wounds of each
injured combatant as he fell.

JUDGE PHILIPS DEAD
Passing of a Good Man Who Served
Well His state.


Tarboro, Special Hon. Frederick
Philips died at his residence in this
place Saturday morning at eight
o'clock. He had been in failing health
for more than a year and returned
only a few weeks ago from Baltimore,
where he had been to Johns Hopkins
hospital for treatment.
Judge Philips was one of Tarboro's
oldest and most highly esteemed c1tl-
zens. He belonged to a large and In
fluential family that were among the
earliest settlers of the country. He
was a son of the late DR.. j. j. Philips,
long a popular and skillful physician
All his life had been spent here and
he was known to everybody in the
county. He vas a successful lawyer, a
man whose knowledge of business en-
abled him to accumulate a large for
tune, a p~ublic-spirited and patriotic
man, and a, man of uncommon
and judgement. His last public ap-
pearance was when he delivered the
memorial address two years ago. He
had prepared at great labor and after
long research a list of all the men
Edgecombe sent to the Confederate
army. In that address he paid a
beautiful tribute to the women of the
C~onfederacy. He took deep interest
in everything that p~ertained to the
Co~nfederacy and his old comrades,
and heartily seconded the efforts to
build the Confederate monument un-
yelled here last year. His health was
such that he could not attend and a
telegram was sent Of regret that he
could not be present at the unwilling.

The Price of PAPER.

1t is rumored that papermakers at
interior points are planning to enter
the New York market with their prod

cost of transportation on such q COM

the thirty concerns that merged in the

COTTON ESTIMATES.
Same Figures, as Seen in Committee
by a Planter and a Spinner.

Washington, D. C.-The human ma
ture of the debate on the Govern
ment's cotton estimates, in the Agri-
cultural Committee Of the House of
Representatives, has excited general
admiration. Mr.. Livingston, repre-
senting the cotton-growing constituent
cies Of Georgia, remarked in commit
tee. that though at first 'he had not
!, charged falsehood against the officers
of the Department" in their 12,5O0,OOO-
bale estimate, she now proposed to
charge both these things" MI Lover
ing, from a cotton-spinning district OF
Massachusetts,, retorted that the crop,
instead of geing 100000 bales,
twill prove to be nearer IA, 600, 000."
