1t was the privilege and the pleasure
OF the editor of THE COMMONWEALTH
to spend night in Grifton last week.
We found that town live aud prosper

things to come.
The occasion was the closing OF Grit
tou graded school which for some time
has been under the management of
that prince of school men, Rev. T. H
King. He was superintendent of the
Ayden graded school until this year
when he gave up school work and de-
voted his entire time to the ministry,
settling at La Grange. When some
months ago they needed man to take
charge OF the school interest at Grit
ton MIR. King kindly came and finish
ed up the school year successfully.
He had good corps of teachers and
the exercises at the closing showed re-
suits of fine work. Mr. King is held in
high esteem in Griiton, as we'll az
wherever he is known, and when he
announced that he would not be in
the school next session many of the
pupils were deeply moved and passed
by and babe him farewell in tears
The board of trustees did all they
could to keep him but he felt impelled
to other work.
Prof. w. H. Ragsdale, county super
intendent of Pitt, is one OF the mos
progressive and efficient superlnten

MILAN, Aug. 11.-A peculiarly heart
less crime has been committed at Lee
co, on Lake Como, in the name of the
,"Camorra, the notorious Italian secret
society. A young man named Ma
Wazzo, who formerly lived at Naples,
Joined the society when in his teens,
and remained a faithful member until
a few months ago, when he married
a beautiful Italian girl of nineteen.
Navazzo, who was a steady, hard
working young man and a clever cabi-
net maker, wished to rid himself of
his old associates and sent in his resig-
nation to the "Camorra." He received
a reply to the effect that he knew too
much and was too useful member
for his resignation to be accepted He
prayed and begged vainly for his re-
lease. Lately he was ordered ION a
private mission" and rather than obey
the command he left Naples secretly
with his wife.
The young wife woke up one morning
at the boarding house where they were
staying and found her husband lying
dead by her side with stiletto in his
heart. On the stiletto the word Ca
mora" had been engraved. This fact
left no doubt as to who had committed
the crime, and when the police heard
of it they refused to take any action.

ODESSA, Aug. 11.-Nowhere is the
struggle going on in Russia better il
lustrated than in the detailed story Of
the causes leading up to the murder
of Admiral Chukhnin.
Since the first attempt made by a
lady to assassinate him, the command
ant of the Black sea had developed a
degree of severity which daily in
creased especially as regards his de-
termination to prevent the revolution
ary agitation. All his measures, how
ever, proved in vain. Whilst among the
land troops the Black Hundred were
busily working, and not without sue
cess for a counter-revolution, the
ships and seamen's barracks became
full of revolutionary literature. which
spread TO the town and obtained such
circulation that proclamations We're
even thrown into the sentry boxes
without the agitators being discovered
Five days before the attack, in one
of the many searches ordered by Ad-
miral Chukhnin in the fleet, a large
packet of revolutionary writings was
found in the possession of two sailors.
During the examination, which lasted
several hours, and at which the adju-
tant to the admiral Lieut.. Sieznyeyef,
was present, the men refused to give
any DlIOII1ldllOil DIS 10 the SOuICS
whence the proclamation came, upon
which the admiral handed them over
to be tried by court-martial. At the
same time he issued an order of the
day to the fleet by which the whole
of the men throughout the fleet and the
naval barracks were placed under ar
rest No one was allowed to leave
either the ships or the barracks, and
the men were also forbidden to receive
visits from their relatives. wives or
children.
Several hours after the issue of this
order Admiral Chukhnin received in
some unexpected manner, his death
sentence from the revolutionary party,
dating from the first attempt to assas-
sinate him. Not only this. but the
death sentence was circulated in thou
sands of copies throughout the town
and among the sailors. In this docu-
ment the admiral was informed that
he had only two days allowed him In
which to rescind the order for general
arrest, otherwise the sentence would
be carried out Admiral Chukhnin
withdrew to his summer residence at
Golandin, near Sevastopol, where an
especially strict guard was maintained.

death sentence had been a mere idle

In defending his administration

Brave words cost nothing, and wl1te

to do better is much easier than to do
well. The financial system, which has
provoked their criticism, has been
tested by time and not found wanting.

foreign and unsuccessful war, and at
the close of the campaign, if nothing else
had supervented, the finances would
have quickly become as sound as before
But the general STRIKES the armed in

dangerous strain was successfully
borne. Then came the severest ordeal

upon the national resources than even

and in spite of all these adverse forces,
the finances have not given way. If
other states in Europe. Asia and Amer
