]. B. DUKES SUMNER HOME.
Details as to Purchases for This Pala-
tiGI Residence.

Speaking of the summer home
which James B. Duke, the millionaire
tobacco manufacturer. is to build in
New Jersey a correspondent at Somcr-
vile says that it will rival any home
in America
The site. selected is on the highest
point of the estate, which overlooks
the beautiful Raritan Valley for miles
in every direction. During his sojourn
in Europe Mr.. Duke purchased 5000
pieces of rare statuary and two large
fountains, which will he set ND on his
estate.
He also bought rare plants and
shrubbery at the cost of thousands of
dollars. Twenty thousand plants have
been received at the Duke estate this
week from Europe and 10000 ever
green trees of one variety are on their
way here from England and will be
transplanted as soon as the frost is out
of the ground.
Mr.. Duke has also begun the erec-
ton of a pumping station near the
Raritan river, with a capacity of l.
600, 900 gallons a day. which will sup
ply water to the numerous lakes on
his estate.
Mrs. Duke since her marriage has
overcome the we'll known aversion of
the tobacco magnate to automobiles
and two big French machines and a
French chauffeur are to be installed
in the Duke stables.

BYNUM CASE NEXT MONTH.
Indications Are That Trial Will Come
Up at March Term-DepOSi-
tons From Gates County.

The trial of r. D. Bynum, charged
with the murder of Deacon Afford
will probably come up at this
months term of the Superior Court.
One term of court has already pass
ed since the killing, the case having
been continued, there are compare
lively few witnesses to be examined
as to the actual circumstances sur
rounding the tragedy, and 1t is not
thought likely that there will be any
attempt on the part of the defense
to further continue the case.
AS an evidence of the intention of
the defense to try, a commission
was recently issued from the office of
the Clerk of the Court here to Gates
County for the taking of dispositions
for the defense. Clerk of the Court
Cross of that county having been
named as the commissioner. Under
the criminal practice now, dispositions
are permitted to be taken by the de-
Tense, although the prosecution must
have the witness in person, this hav-
ing been permitted by statute pass
ed by the Legislature a few years ago.
Bynum is said to have entirely re-
cuperated from the effects of the
heavy drinking in which he had in
dulged for some months previous to
the killing, and to be really in bet
ter health than he has been for some
time. In general appearance those
WHO have seen him say that he is
now a different man from the one
who was brought back to Raleigh,
half crazed and maudlin from Gates
County.
There has thus far been no indica-
ton from the attorneys for the de-
Tense as to what course they will
pursue during the trial. Rumor has
had it that the defense would be in
sanity, but as to that it is the merest
conjecture, as counsel are reticent.
The trial will be one of the notable
ones Of Wake County.

ner. with the officers and directors of

Speaking yesterday of his meeting
with the board the Governor said that

bency of his Office to not only re-
ceive the reports of the officers OF
the various institutions, but to come
into personal contact with the boards
of directors, to go over the manage
ment, ETC., for the purpose of making
q more intelligent and detailed report

There was q bill passed during the
legislature, it will be remembered,
whereby the Governor has the right
to issue his warrants to the treasurer
for sums expended by him in ex-
Denses for visiting such institutions as
he may see fit. The Governor intends
to make himself perfectly familiar
with the working and management of
all State institutions, both educational

Moore, of CASTOR; c.. B. Edwards, of

SUPERIOR MERIT.
Remarkable Curative Properties of a
Remedy for Indigestion and Stom-
cch Weakness.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, prepa-
ration for the cure of dyspepsia and
the various forms of indigestion and
stomach trouble, owes it's great sue
cess as a cure for these troubles TO the
fact that it is prepared for disease
and weakness of the stomach and di-
gestive organs only, and is not re-
commended or advised for any ether
disease.
1t is not a cure all, but for any stom-
ach trouble it is undoubtedly the SAT-
est remedy that can be advised with
the prospect of a permanent cure. II
is prepared in tablet form, pleasant
to taste, composed of vegetable and
fruit essences, pure pepsin and Golden
Seal, every one of which act effectively
in digesting the food eaten, thereby
resting and invigorating the weak
stomach; rest is natures cure for any
disease, but you cannot rest the stom-
ach unless you put into 1t something
that will do its work or assist in the
digestion of food.
That is exactly what Stuarts Dy.
spepsia Tablets do, one grain of the
digestive principle contained in them
will digest 5000 grains of meat, eggs
or similar wholesome foods, they will
digest the food whether the stom-
ach is in working order or not, there
by nourishing the body and resting
the stomach at the same time, and rest
and nourishment is natures cure for
any weakness.
In persons run down in flesh and
appetite these tablets build up the
strength and increase flesh, because
they digest fesh-forming food which
| the weak stomach cannot do, they in
crease the flow of gastric juice an6
prevent fermentation, acidiy and
/ sour watery risings.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
| found at all drug stores at SO cent:
per package.

ASK A REWARD.
Details of the Brutal Murder of VIII
Frazier in Gha;hain.


Governor Glenn was asked yester-
day to offer a reword for the capture
of three men, named respectively Will
liam and Smith for the murder near
Gulf in Chatham county last week of
a man by the name of VIII Frazier.
Frazier was called to his door and
shot down, when he crawled back
wounded into his house. He was fol-
lowed by his ASSISTANTS, who again
fired upon him Tits said that while
the wife of the injured man was plac-
ing 4 pillow under his head the last
and fatal shots were fired.
There is evidence that the perpe-
traitors Of the crime were the men for
whom the reward has been asked.
They have fled and the sheriff has been
unable to trace them 1t is also said
that the motive for the crime was the
fact that the Cinters and Williams had
been running q moonshine still and
feared that Frazier was about to tes-
tify or inform against them.

ing a section of the Code of general
significance, but the matter dwindles
when it is known that the section had
already been repealed, except as to
one or two counties.
The facts are. that when the fusion
legislature of 1895 came along, one of
its first acts was to repeal the Code
section 716 Of chapter II, which pro-
vided for the election of county CONS
missioners by the board of justices oil
the peace and to insert in lieu thereof
q section placing their election with
the people.
OF course, as all we'll informed peo-
pie in the State know, the method of
electing the commissioners, which OBJ
tanned prior to 1895 had been devised
by the Democratic legislatures 10 as
sure white government to certain ne>
gro ridden counties of the east.
Under the fusion regime this pre-,
caution wa sthrown to the winds as
a matter of policy and as a result
there were many boards of commits
sioners which contained negroes.
This fusion law was chapter 135
of the Public Laws of 1895. section
4. and provided for the repeal of the
old section and the election of COM
missioners by the people.
When the Democrats returned in
1899, however the yre-enacted the
old section as to the election of COM
missionersI for the counties of Wash
intgon, Granville, Caswell, BERTHE,
Vance. Warren, Craven, Edgecombe,
Perquimans Franklin, Montgomery,
Pasquotank and New Hanover.
This law is chapter 4S8, Public Laws.

jority of the counties in the State
was not at the beginning of the. legis-
lature, nor is it yet the old method
of selection of commissioners by JUS
tees of the peace, but by the people,
the counties named having been given
the protection until the operation OF
the constitutional amendment made it
unnecessary for them to have it.
The act repeating section TIC of
CHAPTER II of the Code was, therefore.
merely putting Warren county, in the,
matter of the selection of her commits
in line with the other coun-
ties of the State.
A sensation could have been avoided
had the Jealous explorer undertaken
to read and Sc what it was that was
repealed and what the law was before
he annihilated it. 1t don't do, how
ever, to dig too deep into sensations.

and its high legal authority" if the
press of work was too great to permit
them a reading of the acts might have
had it occur to them. especially the
legal authority" that the new Code
which was ratified on the last day of
the session and contains provisions,
both as to birds and commissioners
would necessarily be the law of the
land after August 1st repeating all
such laws as were repugnant either to
it's letter or its spirit.
Nevertheless the guns will begin to
shoot next year at about the usual
seasons and the commissioners will
be none the less the substantial citi-
zens and no more mythical than they
have been before this year of grace.

II is reported that a Miss Blevins,
living on York Ridge in this county,
in going down a steep hill to the
spring a few days ago, slipped and fell
and went down the hin with such
force that she was instantly killed. We
are informed that her neck was
broken by running against a stump.
We have been informed of several
accidents that have occurred during
this icy weather, but one comes from
Rugby, in the west end of this county
that caps the climax. 1t is reported
n Coy Anderson, while attempting
to go down a steep hill a few days
ago, fell and slid to the foot of the
hill feet foremost and ran into a hol-
low LOG. One informant said they had
to cut the log and split it before they
could eXtricate him. He is still alive,
and tells of his miraculous escape in
astounding terms.

CRAZED MAN CRAWLS
FROM SLEEPER WINDOW
Los Angeles Merchant on His Way
East Meets Death While In
Rocky Mountains

Special to The Herald.
OMAHA, Sept. 16.-Crazed by the
high altitude, R. Schmitt. until recently
proprietor of a confectionery store at
Los Angeles, crawled through the win
dow of a sleeper on the overland lin
tied while crossing the Rockies and was
dashed to death on the rock ballast of
the Union Pacific's main line.
Schmitt and his wife were on their
way to Council Bluffs. 1t is supposed
the sudden change to the rare atmos-
phere Of the mountains caused him to
become violent. His wife occupied the
upper berth.
The body was found at Hanna, Wyo.
Mrs. Schmitt claims Mr. Schmitt had
$1,000 in gold with him when he retired
in the Pullman car on the night of the
tragedy, but only $50 was found on the
body.
