a i-o-;:;cA.tx c' v.ALiiru trial V.. I the Onae Co Through at Next tViuri?- The btory of Uie Guest t the btlwiikAuioiwy oa llody ol Laie Chief of Police Law and Or- lcr League Civic Improvement- jtivuins the itewaroKiews. in epecuu w The Observer. : ; Fayettevllle, March 10-U seems to be generally accepted as ft fact that Tom Walker will be trioa on uonaay, the 25th Instant, at the criminal term of Cumberland Superior Co art. Judge Webb en the bench, and Mr. . A. Sinclair solicitor. It ' la, above all .' thing, desirable that Walker be speed ily tried, but there ere two or three feature ef the oase provocative of de lay. In the Orel place. It will be very difficult to secure a Jury on account of the formed-and-expresied-an-oplnion" question of the panel. Sec ondly, even should Officer Bucking-ham recover, of which there now seems a fair chance. It Is highly Improbable that he will be well enough to appear as a witness In court at this term. ,Tom Walker can be brought down from Raleigh whenever the authorities deem it best, and can be carried from th train to the county tall, there to await his trial, without any danger at the hands of the people of Cum berland and Fayettevllle. But the correspondent claims to know this peo ple. There are three things whlcn would be reoelved by them with deep displeasure, and by an outburst of In dignation which might be dangerous: A change Of venue, a postponement of the trial; a verdict, if there is a trial, less than murder in the firm degree. The State, county and city rewards for the capture of the negro Walker, aggregating $850, have been divided as follows, by agreement of those in terested: D. K. Taylor, $400; Henry Lamb and Howard Smith, $100 each; Anderson and Bass, policemen of Dunn, $100 each; railway night oper ators at Fayettevllle and Dunn, $25 each. Oen. E. M. Hayes, the guest of the Selwyn in Chsrlotte the other day, In a good story-teller, but that one about the son of J. C. Dobbin, the Secre tary of the Navy in Franklin Plerco's Cabinet, is a story "out of the wholj cloth." Tho Secretary did have a son John, but he never went through the scenes and service attributed to him by General Hayes; and, although he was a good soldier, ne never was a Confederate captain. The correspond ent writes positively, for ho and John Dobbin, son of J. C. Dobbin, Secre tary of the Navy, served In the same command from the beginning to the close of the civil war. John Dobbin surrendered with the army of Joseph E. Johnston, came back to Feyettc vtlle, contracted consumption, and died not long after the war, at the resi dence on Haymcrunt of a relative, the late Judge Jess O. Shepherd, father of the distinguished Dr. Henry JEllott Shepherd. There was another John Dobbin, brother or half brother of the Sucretaxy of the Navy, who was purser of tha steamer Central America, which went down with all on board some years before the war, at the mouth of the Amazon river, If mem ory be correct By order of Sollcrtor Sinclair, Dr. J. V. (Jougari performed an autopsy on the body of the late Chief of Police Chase n, and extracted the ball. It Is of 32 calibre, the same an that of Walker's pistol, and Is much bunt and mashed. A Law and Order League has been formed for Fayettevllle. the object o? which, as net forth in the constitution adopted, are to assist the authorities In the enforcement of the law; to use all influence to elect only such officials as will enforce It, and all efforts to have dismissed Huch officials as fall to enforce. Chlow among Its labors will doubtless be alfllng the municipal government to Hlanip out ihn horrible "blind Ut;er," and, If u succeeds In this only, It will receive (he gratitude of all good citizens in the city ami county.

The correspondent, has heard, more than once recently, that a syndicate with ample capital, rs contemplating the building of an all-the-year resort hotel on the outskirts of Fayettevllle, one of the many beautiful sites for such a purpose. There are no de tails, but there seems no doubt that the enterprise Is In agitation. Fay ettevllle is the half way point between New York and Jacksonville, Fla., and such a hotel would "attract many guests, without injuring the patron age of the excellent Hotel LaFayette.

The association will be organized on a stan dard basis, a fee of 25 cents a share or membership, and 25 cents a week to be paid on each share, the estimate being that the shares will mature In six years and from three to six months.

The opinion seems to be pretty general that those who are still holding to the staple will not regret It. for the reason that the demand of the mills Is In satiable and the supply of a most boun tiful crop Is now quite limited.
