c~cItance of subcommittee Re

Committee of the American Board OF
Commissioners for Foreign Missions

ing the acceptance of a gift of 100000
from John D.. Rockefeller.
A vote was taken just prior to adj
journment late this afternoon and the
result of the vote will, it was stated,
be made public at noon tomorrow. In
the meantime the committee is bound
to secrecy and it's members refuse tc
give an inkling of the decision reached.

believe that the report of the sub-cOm-
mittee was accepted. 1t is understood
that the Prudential Committee discuss
ed the feasibility of recommending the
institution of a judicial tribunal to
pass upon voluntary contributions TO
the board.

.In5eh Leanp Committed Suicide,

Washington, April 1.-The Italian.

the attention Of the state dspartmenfz
the death last Thursday az a little
town not far from Alexandria, Va,
named LortoIa of JOS. LeantO, an ltat-
|ia1. laborer, Who himself had morta.Is
wounded George Malcolm, a depusy
sheriff, in resisting arrest 1t was. 1t
lfIrst claimed that Lea1to, who had ruI
.amuck and. %serrorrizef the community,
had committed suicide to avoid arrest.
Now the ambassador reports to rhe
state department that from the chArae-
tier of the wounds found On Leanso's
Ebody, one in particular being in the
hand, there seems good reason to doubt
1.-THE theory of suicide and that is an
Iopen question whether the Italian was
killed by a mob.
| Following the usual practice the
state department has communicated
1.-The ambassadors note on the subject
Ito the governor of Virginia. with a
request for an investigation and a
statement of facts.

g Z. Horton. of Goldsboro was
knocked in the head by a negro named
Arthur Outlaw, on the streets OF La
Grange Saturday afternoon at 4 O'Clock.
and his chances for recovery are coz
sidered very doubtful, though he wac
living at s o'clock this morning when
his brother, Mr.. Joe Horton, of this
city. left his side and returned home.
The blows were inflicted by Outlaw
with a piece of sewing machine Graf
ing and the skull of Mr.. Horton was
cracked about 2 IL inches, from wnich
two spoonfuls of brains oozed, besides
causing agony from conclusion of the
brain. Mr.. Horton was taken to a hos
pital in Goldsboro Saturday night,
where he was visited Sunday by his
brother, Mr.. Joe Horton, of this city,
who reports his brothers chances of
recovery are abo;:t one out of ten. Out
law took leg bail and has not yet BEEN
~apprehended by the officers. He is sail
to be from near Boston, Wayne
ty.
The circumstances, as learned FROM
The Free Press representative in La
Grange are as follows:
Horton became offended at Outla "
on Main street, Lagrange, Saturday
afternoon at 4 o'clock and drew his
knife and advanced OF him. Outlaw
retreated some distance and Horton
pursued and the negro stopped and
picked up a piece of sewing machine
Grating and struck Horton on the head
two severe blows. the second blow
cracking the skull. In the excitement
Outlaw made off and has not been
captured yet.
A piece of the slab was imbedded in
the crack in the skull.
Mr.. Horton was taken to Goldsboro
Saturday night after his injuries were
attended to by LAGRANGE physicians,
and was taken charge of by Masons,o
which order he is a member, and every
attention is given him, but with only
the slight hope for his recovery thai
is mentioned above. This chance lies
in the hope Of keeping off a formation
of pus on the brain, which if done his
recovery will result, probably.
Horizons friends claim that he did
not AVE a knife, nor was he the ag-
gressor.-Kinston Free Press.

Wilmington. N. G.

Dear Sirs: Mr. n Avery. Delhi. y Y.
had two houses exactly alike. and
painted them: one Devoe lead-and-
zinc; the other barytes-and-zinc.
he paid same price for both paints.
He used six gallons of lead-and-
zinc. IL gallons barytes-and-zinc.
He paid SIS for painting lead-and-
zinc. $50 for painting barytes and
zinc.
The total cost of the lead-and-zinc
lob was s2I; the total s of the
barytes-and-zinc job was s54.
He didn't know he was buying barry
tes; the dealer told him that paint
was as good as Devoe.
A fair example of how it generally
comes-out. when you buy something
just as good" Better go by the name:
