NEGRO Suicides,

Amos Bynum, a negro living near
Wilson on Mr.. Ben Howard's far1u,
committed suicide yesterday by shoot
ing himself through the heart.
DR.. Carl Moore, acting coroner,
drove out to the farm as soon as he
was notified, but found an inquest
unnecessary, the mother of deceased
having seen Amos commit the deed
with his own hands while seated in 4
buggy in. the yard. Death was in
stantaneous. 1t is said the suicide
took his life because his wife danced
with another negro Saturday night.
Amos has not been well balanced
for some time and was jealous of his
wife.

An Enjoyable Occasion.


Black Creek, N. c., July 10.-A
very enjoyable festival was held here
Friday evening under the auspices of
the Baraca class of the Methodist
Sunday school of Black Creek. The
school house was attractively de-
corated and brilliantly lighted for the
purpose, and quite a good1y number
succumbing to the ever insistent
lure of ice cream, strongly supported
by the attraction Of the fairest OF
fortune tellers, disbursed very
creditable amount of their boarded
sheckels. A voting contest for the
pfettiest girl was the event of the
evening. Among several fair candi-
dates Miss Ruth Sau1s and Miss Allie
Bailey were the favorites, Miss Sauls
winning by three votes.

No DECIS-

GOVERNOR KITCHIN STILL HEAR
ING DELEGATIONS AS TO
APPOINTMENT
DOCTOR CARLYLE dead

Raleigh, N. c., July 10.-Governor
Kitchin is hearing delegations In ad-
vocacy of their respective candidates
for the position of Corporation Com
| missioner to take the place Of the
late Henry c.. Brown.
He heard delegations this morning
| from Northampton favoring Hon. T.
w. Mason and from Raleigh endors-
| ing Mr.. E. L. Harriss.
There are others to come and the
| Chief Executive will make no deci-
sion until all the candidates have
been fully considered.
| The death of Prof. John B. Carlyle,
who has occupied the Chair of Latin
| has cast a gloom over the city.
DR.. Carlyle was 63 years of age
and universally beloved and esteemed
by all as a leading educator and hui
manitarian.
The Federal Court opens at noon
when the famous Ware-Kramer case
will be continued. There are more
speeches yet to come.
Raleigh, July 10.-Telegrams, let.
ters and long distance telephone mes
sages continue to come into Governor
Kitchin's office in regard to a person
to fill the place on the Corporation
Commission made vacant by the
death Tuesday of Henry Clay Brown.
The list of those who think them
selves material for the commission
ership continues to grow and it is
said that at least 25 names will be
tbefore Governor Kitchin when he
takes up the question.
| Some ranOrtS fn he heard on the
streets were to the effect that the
available list was headed by e. l.
Travis, Of Halifax, and State Chair
man A. H. Eller, of Winston. Botf
are close friends of Goverro,
Kitchin and either, it is contended
would make a good man for the
place. Mr. Travis, it is known
would accept the position if GOV
ernor Kitchin rendered it and there
are some who cling to the idea tha
he will get it. There are others wnt
believe that it will be offered to Mr.
Eller.
In the meanwhile friends of HI
present clerk of the Commission, A
J. Maxwell, are of the opinion tha
he should have the position: tha
he is better qualified to carry OH thu
work at this time than a new mai
would be and that he is thorough!
competent for the position. All Wht
know Mr.. Maxwell know that he IS ;
painstaking, careful man and is fill
ing the position of clerk-a very
difficult position-in manner thor
ooughly satisfactory. Besides this
Mr.. Maxwell did splendid work 70

Governor and would not be disquali
fed on the grounds that he was no
an original Kitchin man. Governo
Kitchin, it is pointed out, has al
ready established a precedent by ap
pointing Mr.. Brown, who for man.
years was clerk of the Commission
The appointment of Mr.. Maxwell
would perhaps be one of the bes
ways for Governor Kitchin to settl
this matter, since so many candidate
: have come into the field.
= Today will likely be marked by
large number of visitors here in tn
interest of the various candidates
The Governor will likely give all o
, them a hearing before he makes an.

CASTRO AGAIN
IN SADDLE
At The HEAD OF 1000 men and
PREPARING FOR BAT.
TIE
HIS POPULARITY IMMENSE

Caracas, July 10.-Cipriano Castro,
Eelf-styled man of destiny, who once
set out with an army of % ranchmen
and overturned the government, is in
Venezuela, and seems practically as
sured of regaining the presidency.
Even many Of the military authorities
here assert that the present regime
is tottering, and that only foreign in
terVention can save it. Castro already
has an army of more than 1000 men.
These troops are equipped with mod
ern army rifles, using steel jacketed
bullets. Whence the rifles came is a
matter of speculation, but it has been
Known here for a month that they
had been shipped.
In the Credit Lyonnaise, of France,
Castro has 'on deposit 35,OOO,OOO
francs. He is said to have had the
additional backing of Banker Silvera,
who asserted that unlimited means
would be at the disposal of the eziled
dictator.
From all sides Castro's former
friends are rallying to him. Revo-
luton has been in the air for months.
Newspapers here have been devoured
for news of the exile's WanderingS,
and of the success of attempted fill
busters from the United States gull
ports. Even with prison staring
them in the face, soldiers and ciVi-
lians have declared they wanted out
one word to fight for their former
chief.
There is every Indication that the
arms and ammunition for the rebels
were sent out of Cuba.
Castro means fight, and fight to a
finish. How large his army may have
swelled by tomorrow is matterof con
lecture, based upon how long it Will
take recruits to sail to Casti.letas
The Bay of Maracaibo and the Oca
Mountains render the section prac
