Raleigh. N. c.. July 1.-THE second

reported from the back woods OF
Johnston county. Joseph Pulley. an
elderly farmer, residing three miles
from the town OF Selma, was killed by
his stepdaughter. Maria The girl, who
is not yet twelve years old, struck
him on the head with an axe while
he was asleep.
The girl says that her stepfather
had treated her cruelty for years, and
threatened TO beat her TO death"
when he awoke. He never awoke to
carry out the threat. The officers say
that Pulley has been married three
times. and that the child who killed
him is the illegitimate daughter OF his
second wife. who is dead. The coron-
ers jury has partly exonerated the
girl. although she has been committed
TO jail for trial.

On behalf OF the city, the welcome
address was made by Mr.. w. A.

part said:
Il know of no city in our state
where the colored people are more
respectable or more prosperous than

send out a committee from this body

er valuable property. even the best
informed of Durham's leading color
ished at the progress In that direc-
ton. that is being made by your
race in this city. It is my opinion
that the percentage of colored peo-
pie owning property in Durham is
greater than any other city of our
size in the state. The white peo-
pie of the country and city of Dur
ham have dealt fairly with the
colored people; they have given
their children, both in the country
and city. as good schools as they
have the white. and have done II
willingly.
AS to the race question in Dur
ham IL has been my observation that
the races get on amicably with lit
Tie or no friction. each respecting
one another's rights, IL being the
rarest occasion that one hears OF
any friction between the races. T
believe IL Is the desire of every good
citizen, white and colored, that these
conditions continue, and they will
continue so long as we concede that
