He Gets Lite Imprisonment for Con?-
plicity in the' Murder of Governor
Goebel. ,
Caleb Powers has been found
trualtv of complicity in thei
-
assassination of Gov. Goebel.
Thte jury was unanimous In its
verdict of guilty and arrived at
the decision within, thirty-five
minutes. "
There was one Republican on
the jury . who soon after they
arrived in Jhier room said that
he had no idea before the trial
that Powers.could be guilty but
the evidence had left no room to
Qoubt and that he must give his
verdict as guilty. The jury fixes
the penalty in Kentucky andj
this jury fixed life imprisonment,
though Hanging was suggested.
Of courso there was a plea for
a new trial and if denied the
Supreme court will be appealed
to
Cabarrus Wheat Raisers.
In calling attention to Mr. G
T Crowell's plan for obtaining
the amount of wheat- raised in
Cabarrus this year we referred
to it as probably a record
breaker in the wheat crop. On
Saturday we -were told by Mr.
Frank Teeter that he had
threshed 1,815 bushels of his
crop and had fed probably.)
euough in the sheaf to his horses
to have brought his crop up to
2,000 bushels. We were so un
prepared for such report that we
went to inquiring further. We
found that Mr. O W Swink pro
duced 1,781 bushels of wheat and
300 bushels of rye. We met Mr.
Ien Erwin and found he had
made '1,050 bushels of wheat.
Mr. Logan Teeter we learn made
400 bushels. We asked Mr. John
Allison of his operations aud
learn ttiat his renters have ag
gregated 3,100 bushels in Cabar
rus, 800 in Rowan and 1,200 in
Davidson. These figures opened
our eyes to the tact that our
farmers in the ante-bellum slave
labor days were not in it com
pared to the wheat raisers of to
day.. Kitten hy a Copperhead.

Sermons By Ministerial Candidates.
St. James congregation, with
all who worshiped with them,
enjoyed a sermon by Mr. Charles
APhillips on Sunday morning and
by Mr. Victor G'Ridenhour in the
evening. The general verdict
as we heard it concides with th'e
writer's estimate that these
young men acquitted themselves
in a very .clerical manner and in
Wll trained voice and good
sound theology, delivered ser
mons very promising for their
success in the pulpit. It is the
more creditable to them and the
Southern Lutheran Theological
seminary that they have just
completed the first of their three
years' course'.'
