The sheep farmer is at a loss to know

The bee keeper is on the same boat as

habitually eats honey will never have

English Newspaper Discovers a Fine
Example of It in Writings of
Thirteenth Century.

LOndon.-The English newspapers,
which number quite a few modern yell
low journals, although hey don't ap-
pear to know it, are continually hay
ing fun at the expense of American
newspapers. Here is one of tie latest
Jests of the London Chronicle:
Americans no doubt would not
think much OF the recent attempt of
the Than to beat The record N high
tides; but it is worth while pointing
out that our Elizabethan Journalist,
Stow, has as good a story to tell as
any yellow paper can print on the
other side of the Atlantic In the
year 1886 we read, the river of
Thames, overlooking its banks, caused
the marshes about Woolrich to be all
on sea, wherein boats and other YES
sells were carried with the stream; so
that, besides cattle, the greatest num-
mer of men, women and children were
drowned
The delightful vagueness of the
greatest number adds thea right touch
of intensity. Nor was this ALL In
the great palace of Westminster men
did row with wherries in the midst
of the hall, being forced to ride to
their chambers. 1t is something to
know that the extra social was born
in the thirteenth century"

are for making money.

Ex-Governor Charles B. Aycock of
Goldsboro, and Mr. n. j. Rouse, of

white man from Greene county con-
victed of murder and sentenced to
hang, appeared before Governor Glenn
yesterday and asked for a commute
tion of the death sentence to life inn
prisonment. Messrs. Wooten and
Wooten, of Kinston, represented the
State.
The petitioners argued that there
was doubt even in the mind of the
jury that convicted Exum as to the
kind of murder he was guilty of, and
even then, with all the testimony sub
mitted, it only tended to make the
man guilty of murder in the second
degree. Strong appeals were made by
Governor Aycock and Mr. Rouse.
The State contended that according
to the evidence the murder was moth
ing but wilful and malicious.

The Mayor of Philadelphia Wins Over
The COrruptiOnisls Who Sought
to Override His
Veto.
(By the Associated Press.l


Philadelphia, Pa, May 29.-State
Insurance Commissioner Israel W.
Durham, leader of the Republican or
ganization in Philadelphia for the last
ten years and whose influence reached
far into the interior of Pennsylvania
late this afternoon Internationally sur
rendered to Mayor John Weaver, who
opened the war on the organization
last Tuesday. The action of Leader
Durham was a great surprise to the
people of the city, as all his lieuten-
ants and the rank and file of the or
ganization had been given to under
stand that the fight begun by Mayor
Weaver over the gas lease would be
fought to a finish.
Leader Durham today sent for the
ward leaders, nearly all of whom re-
sponded, and pledged their fealty 10
the organization, and it looked as
though the fight would be long one.
Shortly after this meeting, however
William S. Ware, recorder of deeds,
close political friend of Durham,
called upon the mayor and assured
him that he and his brother state
Senator George A. Ware, would stand
by him. The Ware brothers hold large
city contracts, among them being the
street cleaning contract for this year
This moved caused a sensation in po-
litical circles and rumors became cur
rent that tbs organization was crumb-
ling. Mr.. Durham sent for some of
the ward leaders and after confer
ence he released them from their
pledges to stand by him, and made the
following announcement:
Il have advised my friends not to
oppose the confirmation Of A. Lincoln
Acker as director of public works and
Colonel Sheldon Potter as director OF
public safety, if their names are sent
to select council by the mayor"

recovered from the shock
1t is now thought that the shot came
from the A. * M. College, and in view
of this a number of the cadets have
called at Miss Dement'S home tc ex-
press regret. 1t appears that on Sat
urday night there was a feeling among
the freshmen that the sophomores
were going to black them, and to
brighten off the sophs they fired some
shots from windows on the top floor
of their quarters, the result being an
entirely accidental and unexpected
landing of a rifle ball in the city.
