building and stock Of j. ID. Pearce,
druggist, was partially destroyed.
At meeting of the Democratic
State Executive Committee in Rail
eigh Monday night, Mr.. +. M. Sims
mons was reelected State Chairman.
1t was a call TO party service, as he
expressed it. We are to presume
that there was no one else competent
to fill the position.
Mr.-Frank T. Hopkins, an ex-
Confederate soldier, died suddenly
Friday afternoon on the ocean front
at Wrightsville Beach few minutes
after coming out Of the surf. 1t is
thought that death was caused from

The counsel for Arthur Adams
and Robert Sawyer, in the county
Jail at Wilmington, under sentence
of death for their part III the mu-
tiny and murder aboard the schooner
Hiry A. Berwind, last October, has
appealed 10 the President for par
don for the negroes. Scott, the
other member OF the gang, was
hanged last month. 1t will be re-
membered that Adams and Sawyer
were convicted on ScOtt's testimony.
But Scott stated on the scaffOld that
Adams aud Sawyer were not guilty.
1t is understood that the Depart
ment of Justice has recommended a
Communication of their sentence to
life imprisonment. But counsel for
the condemned negroes claim that
since they We're convicted on SCOTS
evidence they should be set free
since he has stated they were not
guilty. The men are under sentence
to hang Aug. II, so time for action
is short.

Tue present term Of Superit T
Court, n, W in session here, is for the
trial Of civil cases only. Several
suits against railroads arc for tria .
We hear that a certain citizen of
S lie, City, when in Sller City is a
strong supporter of Hammer for
sheriff for the Democratic nomina-
ton, but when he comes to Pitts
boro and is with the "ring" he is
a strong supporter Of Miiliken.
Strange are the ways of Demo-
cratic politician.
In the matter of the letting of a
contract to build a bridge across
Rocky river at Johnson Ford in
Oakland Township, the Commission
decided to lay the matter over until
the first Monday N September.
Mr.. Davie Thomas received q
painful injury to one of his arms
last Monday at Maynard's saw mill
near Merry Oaks.
Wonder if our democratic friends
when they meet in their officer
seeker convention here on the 14th
will point with pride" to the mob
spirit that is now prevailing all over
this state? Life and property are
certainly very cheap in North Caro-
lima now.
William Dicken, colored, while at
work in q we'll near Moncure last
Saturday suffered the fracture OF
one leg by cave in.
The entire time of the next leg
islature could be spent to advantage
in reporting the bad laws enacted
by the last two legislatures.
Has any body in Chatham county
ever heard of the sheriff of this
county putting forth any effort what
ever to enforce the state law pre-
venting the making Of Illicit whis-
key? Don't all speak at once.
The democrats in this county
have such an undying love for the
old ex-confederate 4oldier that at
their reunion they shed tears over
hin. In their county convention to
be held In few days they will have
good chance to show their SINGER
ity by giving them a few nomina-
tons for good offices. If the party
loves him so very much it does
seem that it should show their af-
lection for the old soldier by rec
ogniZ.ng him in substantial way,
but wait and see how he will be
treated in their convention.
In the case of Chas. Poe, admin
istrator Of William Brown, VS.. the
Seaboard Air Line for damages for
the death of Brown, the Railroad
has paid to Poe the sum of $4,000,
this being the amount that a jury
allowed at a former court trial here.
rhe case had been to the Supreme
Court but had been sent back to the
Superior Court for a new trial, but
the railroad paid the amount award
ed by the Jury, which action takes
it off the docket.
At the office-seeker convention
TO be held here on the 14th it is
| freely predicted that some pretty
tall "logrolling" will be INDUCED in
| by the hungry democrats. The
| ring" will very probably carry the
day for its candidates, for the said
| ring makes business of politics
and some OF It's members work 365
| days in the year in the business
and are in a position when the con-
vention Is called to order to fool
the countryman to death in making
Their nominations.

lumber, coal and other freights are
