from this county, who has been
serving n sentence in Guilford
county for breaking into a car
and stealing, was pardoued one
day last week by the Governor.
The pardon was granted on the
condition that the young fellow
return to his home in South Car

granting the pardon was the fact
that he gave the information that
led to the arrest and conviction
of three other boys. Lonnie
Moore, one of the boys, recently
made a break for liberty, and
was shot dead by the guard. The
other two boys will serve the re-
mainder of their sentence.

Capt. Sidney C. Chambers and
his men, the members of CON-

getting ready to 60 into encamr-

a. This will be the second trip of
the Durham soldiers this year,

Z The encampment will be priE-
cipally for target practice, and
practicing the men generally.
The first regiment has just brok-
en- camp, and the second is home
from Chicamauga, where the
militia of several states and the
regulars were in camp together.
Seventeen men, the best shoot
ers in the State, will be selected
from the different companies,
and will be sent to Camp Perry,
Ohio. for the annual shoot. From
these there will be selected an
other team to be sent to Canada
and England. This will give the
Durham men chance to win
and receive a fine trip across the
waters free. Sergeant T. B. Ed
wards was chosen last year as
one of the best shooters, and was
sent to Camp Perry, to engage
in the national shoot. The men,
bers here are now drilling, and it
is expected that about 45 Dur
ham men will go to the encamp-
ment at Morehead City.

Mr.. MANNING TO ENTER THE RACE.
Alter Much Talk HOp. ]. s. Manning
Will Run for The. Senate.

There has been in Democratic
Ranks for some time speculation
as to who would be the.:candi.
date for the Senate branch Of
the legislature from this sena.
torial district, and many suitable
and unsuitable men have been
mentioned in that connection.
Many friends Of Captain E. J,
Parrish did all in their power to
induce him to make the race.
He empathically declined to be.
come an aspirant for the posi-
ton.
1t is now public property, and
not denied by Mr.. Manning that
he has decided to enter the race.
The request, coming from
many of his friends. was too
strong for him to resist the desire
to answer their call, and it is
understood upon good authority
that he has finally concluded to
respond and not retire from act
i've political service.
Mr.. Manning served with cred
it in the last General Assembly
as representative from Durham
county, and since that time he
has devoted his time to the law
practice, and more recently was
manager for Hon W. w. Kitchin
in his campaign for governor.
He made many friends in his eff
forts for Kitchin. and the in
fiuence of Mr.. Kitchin and his
friends will mean that Mr.. Man.
ming will have easy sailing when
it comes to asking for the votes
in these four connties of this SEN
atorial district.
