Wilson. n. c.. June 29.-Again the
News and Observer scores as q crime
detecter. Last Thursday an item from
Wilson appeared in its columns tell
ing of how constable j. ID. Mercer, of
Black Creek, while out hunting for the
fiend who outraged Mrs. Sapphire Scott
near Aycock's church in Black Creek
township, ran to earth negro named
Will Smith. He was brought tothe
Wilson Jail and locked UP as a suspi-
cious character He said he had been
working for Royal & Borden in
Goldsboro. This morning Deputy Sher-
if John Tolar Of Wayne came over
to Wilson and recognized the rascal.
He is wanted for the murder of Sarah
Cooper colored an SO-year old United
States pensiOner-that occurred in
Wayne county last January. There is
q negro now in the penitentiary serV
ing a thirty-year sentence as being ac-
cessary to this crime. Deputy Tolar
saws proof will be forthcoming that
will convict Smith as the real muir
derer. There are two other negroes
wanted for the same murder-Grant
Sutton and a woman named FlOSsie
Cobb The negro smith had been in
the custody of the Wayne authorities
at the time of the murder but when
they were off their guard he made a
break for liberty, and though dill
gent search was made fer him he
was not apprehended until captured
last Thursday by our alert constable
of Black Creek The aged pensioner
had just had her voucher cashed: the
ayoricious eyes of these negroes were
on her and when she was alone in
her cabin they rushed in and choked
her to death. broke open her trunk
and took her little hoard
Sheriff Sharp turned over the pris-
oner to Deputy Tolar who left with
him for Goldsboro this afternoon.
Several suspects have been arrested
as the fiend who outraged Mrs. Sap
phire Scott. a few days ago near Black
Greek. one proved to be badly wanted
by Wayne county authorities But it
is believed that the right party is in
Jail He. gives his name as MarcelluS
May but has been going by the name of
Mcmillan in Rocky Mount, where he
was taken in custody yesterday by
officer Z. A Parrish. of the Rocky
Mount police force. who in company
with another officer brought him to
Wilson and jailed him last night.
There is no demonstration on the part
of our citizens-all knowing that if he
proves to be the guilty party he will
get what is coming to him.

(By the Associated Press. J

Washington, D. c.. June $50 far
the fiscal year of the government
closed today with a surplus of sub
stantially S87.OOO,OO0. one Of the larg-
est net balances ever shown In the
fiscal year 1902. there was surplus
Of $91,2S1,375, but that was the
largest since 1890.
While the official figures for the fis-
cal year will not be announced until
Monday. the figures available today
are approximately accurate. They
show that in the year just closed the
income from the various sources of
revenue was s665. .306,134, and expen-
ditures $57S.376.703, as compared
with receipts of s594, 4,454.121 for the
last fiscal year and expenditures Of
s56S. .7S4,799. the surplus in that year
being s25, 5,669,332.
There has been a tremendous in
crease in receipts in the year Just
closing. while the expenditures have
been only about s10,000.000 in excess
of the last year The largest increase
in receipts has been from customs. al
though Internal revenue has shown
a big gain.
The receipts from the different
sources this fiscal year have been as
follows:
Customs s333.230.126; internal
revenue s27O3O9,3SS; misc cellaneous
61.766.619.
There has been no year in the his
tory of the country in which the re-
ceipts from customs came within
many millions of the present year
The receipts last year held the record
up to that time and this years income
from that source is about $33.00o.0OO
in excess Of last year.
Internal revenue receipts likewise
break all records except during the
Spanish war. when special taxes were
being collected.
