Goldsboro. n. c., January Is
There is a disposition on the part OF
some Of the educated loafing negroes
all over the State t o carry concealed
weapons which is viewed with some
alarm by a great many people. Every
time there is trouble between a lot OF
negroes or white men and negroes, the
negro never fails to show his gun This
statement is justified by a case which
came UP in the police court this norm
ing. The negro who was shot was
only one Of the defendants present.
The other Ia who did the sooting
had made his escape. Both had pls-
tolls. VIII Faison and Marshall Carr
were engaged with several others in
a game of craps in the southern part
of the city yesterday afternoon when
a dispute arose between those whose
names are mentioned. Both drew their
guns and according to the evidence
Carr was shot. DUNG h melee other
negroes in the crowd drew their ex-
plosive weapons and there was a fash
ing of artillery that would haTe

NEW BERN STILL KICKING.

And now four months after, how is
this lease liked by the business men
and citizens of New Bern and this
section? That is the question which
The Journal is going to give in irdi-
vidual expressions in it's columns,
with thc names of the persons inter-
viewed, so there can be no questions
as to the reliability of what is felt on
the lease matter, and how its effects
are appreciated by those whose inter-
eSts are both identified with the Dad
and whose personal business relations
are affected under the new order of
management of this property by the
Rowland Improvement Company.
Judging from the above, which we
clip from the New Bern Journal, one
would think hat the Atlantic and
North Carolina railroad had been
built and maintained at a heavy eX-
pense for years by the state for the
special benefit and convenience Of the
citizens Of the town of New Bern. The
people of that town seem to lose the
idea that this railroad was owned by
the entire state which kept it up.
They seem to think that the balance
of the state should be taxed for their
convenience. OF course New Bern
wants the general offices, the shops
and all other of the railway depart
ments located there. No one can
blame them for this. But they should
not expect his to b. done to the dis
advantage of the system and to the
detriment of the balance of the state.
1t would have suited the New Bern
people better if the state, instead of
leasing the road had established d
system of free passenger and freight
transportation for all the business men
and citizens of that town, but such
measure would not have been reliShed
by the people of the other sections
who are as nue. interested in the
state getting a return for its invest
ments in the road as are the New
Bern people.

INDEPENDENCE WITHIN THE
PARTY.

Since Governor Glenn the
appointment Of his brother as his pri-
yate secretary there has been a good
deal of discussion of this matter in the
press OF the state. Only four papers,
the Statesvilie Landmark. the Sanford
Express, the Monroe Enquirer n the
Raleigh Evening Times, so far as we
have seen, have taken issue with the
governor as to the propriety of his max
ing such appointment. All h other
papers which have commented on the
matter have contended that the COVER
nor was perfectly justified in the ap-
pointment. That there has not been an
effort made in certain quarters TO read
these four papers out Of h party for
daring to criticise the action OF the gov
ernor shows that there is a much great
er spirit of liberty in the party in this
state than there was a few ago.
The time was not far distant in the
past when certain editors in the state
" u1d have severely lectured these four
d pers and questioned their democracy
for daring to take ~excep-lon to any &C
ton of the democratic governor. The
Messenger has been of the opinion all
along that Governor Glenn had a per-
feet right to appoint his brother as his
private secretary We do not see that
his conduct in this matter is open to
the slightest criticism. At the same

independence and straightforwardness
in the press of the state which leads
these papers not approving of h &C.
ton of the governor to openely and in
a fair and decent way criticise his ac-
tion. 1t indicates a healthy condition in
the party. Heretofore there has been
too much s~ubserviency and cringing to
the people in power just because they
represented the office holding contin-
gency of the party. For years men in
the party were afraid to express an
opinion contrary to that of the few who
controlled the party and dictated its
policy and measures. Such conditions
were fast bringing ruin IN the party.
The pioneers Of independence of
thought were denounced by these as
traitorssand enemies of the party. But
things have changed OF late. These
self constituted judges of-the democTa-
cy of others have come to see that
they were carrying things too far; that
should they attempt to read out of the
party adj who disagreed with them On
any point they would soon be the mi
nority n a very small one at that.
I'm fact they have learned some sense
from recent events. They see that the
democratic party in this state. in order
to retain it's control, must broaden its
lines; that the people no longer are
willing to be driven like sheep to the
polls and without the privilege Of ex-
pressing an opinion on any political is
sue OF the day. This independent SEN
timent in the party will be it's salvation.
The old method carried much farther
would have wrought it's utter defear.

The bill before the legislature provid-
ing for drawing jurors from other
counties instead of removing the case
in capital cases is a move in the right
direction. This system has been insti-
tuted in Virginia and perhaps in other
state. 1t is a great saving of expense
and prevents delay in trial Of capital
cases.

The Washington Post suggests that
the senate fix a day in each week in

would be considered questions of the
highest personal privilege and would
therefore have precedence over any

announce progress in his indictment.

Chairman Bowen. of the Baord of Supervisors, and Supervisor Taylor, of Douglas, were among arrivals in the city last evening from Tombstone where the Board of Supervisors yes terday afternoon came to adjournment until July l.

A. Overlook, Judge Richardson and S.. F. Mcguire. The impression is very strong that MT. Overlook will be the first Mayor of Douglas.

fair-sizcd crowd witnessed Ras- mussen defeat Virgin on the mat at the gymnasium last night. Rasmus- sen won by the hardest kind of work in the third bout. Its settlement re- quired 32 minutes and 52 seconds of strenuous work. both men eXerting every ounce of strength and all the skill they had at command. The match was refereed by Sid Varney.
 Rasmussen came on the mat at 135 pounds. Virgin weighed in at l36. The men went at their work hard from the start. Rasmussen captur- ed a telling hold and accomplished winning Of the first bout in minutes 1-2 seconds. In the second bout Virgin played his strength for a win uing, and succeeded in taking the bout in minutes 45 seconds. Virgin ad- mirers. of whom there were many in attendance. grew enthusiastic. Tn the third bout Rasmussen came up with superior strength and skill, though by a narrow margin, and won the contest.
 l In the preliminary bouts Roy Raj son and J. H. Allan made it a draw, each securing a fall. Allan got the first in 10:35 and Raison the second in 1.2. Bert Hurst and Ed Husson gave an excellent exhibition. The much greater weight of Husson ena- bled him to get two straight falls.
 Roy Benton and Verne La Moore, juniors. put up a rattling bout which ended in a draw. La Moore got the first fall in S.@5 and Benton the sec ond in 13.3.
 The sport throughout the program was excellent, and was highly enjoyed by those present. Rasmussen's victo- " did not come as a surprise. He won it from a worthy antagonist in a match that ranked well with anything prviously seen at the gymnasium.

GLOBE MINING MAN IS
 VISITING BISBEE
C. z. TAYLOR HAS BEEN 4 RESI- DENT OF THAT DISTRICT
 FOR 26 YEARS.
Tells of Mining Activity in That Part of the Territory. Which Is the Home Of the Old Dominion and United Globe Mines.

C. F. Taylor is a mining man from Globe visiting in the city for a few days enrOute east. Mir. Taylor has been a resident of Globe for the past twenty-six years. and has remained with the camp during all Cf it's ups and downs. and reports Globe in bet ter condition today than at any time in its history. There is a small build ing boom on in the camp, and busi- ness men are planning Improvements with a spirit of confidence that in days past has been somewhat lacking.
 Mir. Taylor has unbouhded faith in the Globe mining district. and states that never before has there been so much activity noticeable in a mining way Eastern mining men are com ing to Globe and taking options on promising mining property and going to work in a manner similar to that which has prevailed in the Warren District for the past four years.
 The advent of the Phelps-Dodge Co. into the district is in a measure re- sponsible for this pleasing condition. Under the supervision of Dr. L. D. Ricketts. one of the very best mining men in the west today, the Old Domin- ion is fast taking its place in the front rank of copper producers in the ter ritory and new exploratory work be- ing carried on in this mine is attend ed with gratifying results.
 While the merger proposition be- tween the Old Dominion and United Globe mines has not actually been ef- fected, there is no doubt but what this will be the final result. and both companies are now under the same management. |.
 The Globe development company and the Arizona Commercial company are new mining companies that are going steadily ahead developing prop critics in close proximity to the Old Dominion and United Globe. Mir. Taylor is the owner of a group of thir- teen mining claims, patented, in the same vicinity, and his proposed trip east is for the purpose of turning the property over to company who will begin active development on a, large scale, provided the proper terms can be made.
 The Globe district may be said to be virgin mining ground in-that sec tion of the territory. While the two old companies have been operating there for several years, the work has been carried on in a desultoTy man. her with many shut downs and delays that have had a tendency to discour- age the coming of new development companies. The present gratifying success that is being made has in a measure served to overcome this draw back. and with the Old Dominion and United Globe mines on a firm foundation. and producing more cop per than ever before in their history brighter outlook in a mining way is the present condition in the Globe district.
 MT. Taylor will remain in Bisbee for several days visiting the mines in this locality and renewing old acquaint ances.

PRISONER FOUND GUILTY
 OF MURDER
JURY REACHES A VERDICT IN THE CHENOWETH MURDER
 TRIAL IN NEW MEXICO.
Out I've enty-four Hours DeIioerating Upon Degree of the Crime Before They Reach a Oecision-Defendant Asks For a New Trial.

The Chenoweth murder trial. which has aroused the most intense interest of any similar proceeding in Grant county. came 10 an abrupt end Sat urday afternoon. when in the pres ence of the court and a few specta- tors, District Clerk w. E. Martin, read the verdict that had been reach ed but a few minutes before by the jury after being out just twenty-four hours. The verdict found the defend ant guilty of murder in the second degree and immediately after its reading, Attorney Fielder, after a brief consultation with the defend ant and his parents, Immediately gave notice that he would file a mo tion for 8 new trial Judge Parker then announced that court would ad- journ until o'clock Friday evening. May 26th. During -thfs entire pro- cedure the prisoner, from outward appearances at least, was the calm est and most collected person in the room, and not for even the slightest fraction of moment did he display any outward emotion, such as would ordinarily be expected from one re- ceiving information that9in it's in- tents means the clouding of ones entire life. Nor did hs parents or brothers or sisters lose for an in- stant their complete self-possession, and the verdict. so far as it outward ly affected them, might have ap- piled to anyone else in the court other than their son and brother. After adjournment the prisoner was embraced by his relatives and then led back 10 his cell.
 Nesterday afternoon Attorney Fielder filed a motion for a new trial, and arguments on this motion will heard by the court on the evening of May 2G,. On the, grounds upon which this motion iss based is the alleged perjury of one of the jurors. The verdict, generally speaking. seems to meet with the satisfaction of the people who deem it sufficient to have upheld the majesty of the law and to have attained the ends of justice. From iHfornaationf gain, ed on the streets, it seems that the verdict was a compromise between conviction in the first degree and acquittal and that the vote of tbe jury stood, from the very outset, II for first degree and l for acquittal until the final vote which resulted in 12 for second degree and thus prevented d hung jury.-Silver City Enterprise.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eutachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing. and when entirely closed. Deafness is the result. and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube re- stored to normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed con- dition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu- lars, free.
