Chowan County is , Thought to Be the Place. -o- Elizabeth City, Nov, 18. Wilcox, the alleged murderer of Ella Maude Cropsey, in the Superior Court to day, presented an affidavit to the ef fect that he could not receive a fair and impartial trial in this county, and asked that the trial be moved elsewhere. This was supplemented by a like affidavit by T. P. Wilcox, his father. The attorneys for the prosecution produced counter affi davits, one of which was signed by the leading business men of the city. The solicitor contended that to move the trial would be putting the county under too much expense and serious ly inconveniencing the witnesses in various ways. The county commis sioners presented an affidavit to the effect that sentiment against Wilcox had in a great degree subsided and that no county would give him a more impartial trial according to their knowledge and belief. Counsel for the State and defense then presented their argument. The court room was crowded and indica tions are that interest has in no way subsided. The prisoner was the same cool, indifferent, self-satisfied creat ure as ever. He appeared little con cerned as to the outcome. Late this afternoon the arguments were concluded and Judge Moore ruled in favor of the defense. The trial of the noted prisoner will be carried elsewhere. At what place and at what time the new trial will take place is not yet determined. It is thought that the defense will se lect Chowan county. VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT.

Smedes, Nov. 17. Hunters who are trying to make it possible for the President to shoot a bear on the Lit tle Sunflower river admitted some what dejectedly to-day that there seemed tm e some sort of a conspir acy workig against them. To-day another bear was slain, but Mr. McDougal, of Smedes, got him. The bear's track was found by the dogs soon after the President started out of camp at daylight this morn ing. The woods were wet, it was still raining and the air was chilly. It was a day to make the dogs able to do their best. The bear's trail was old, but the dogs took it up en thusiastically and traveled so fast that Mr. McDougal was the only one who could keep in touch with them. The negroes about here say of him by the way: "Mr. Mac, he goes through the woods like a snake." He is seemingly able to ride his little horse through a brier tangle thirty feet high and fifty feet thick and come out on the other side with himself and horse unscratched when another man would be bleeding and a mass of scratches if he got through at all. Mr. MacDougal distanced the rest who lost the cry after a while and went wearily back to camp. Mr. McDougal came in late in the afternoon with the carcas of a bear hung over the back of the horse. Af ter hearing his report the veteran hunters solemnty decided that the bears of the Little Sunflower district have all heard of the President's visit and have fled the country. The one ki! 'ed to-day was one late in settling sip his affairs before the ex odus, the cub of Friday being aban doned by a selfish ma and the big bear of Friday being too sick to travel. To-day's bear was travelling due east from the camp when the dogs found his trail. The President is going to make one last hunt to-morrow and hopes for the best. To-morrow night the members of the camp will be entertained at din ner by Mr. Fish in his car, the Ma rian, which is a part of the special train. Duriug the night the train will be moved to Memphis, where the Luke Wright celebration will occupy the President all day, be ginning at 9:30 in the morning. DOES SHE SEEK DIVORCE? Mrs. Molineux Goes to South Da kota Presumably to Estab lish a Residence. Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 17. Mrs. Blanche Chesebro Molineux has ar rived here from New York. Mrs. Molineux refuses to be interviewed, bur a friend says Mrs. Molineux has come here to establish a residence. Later in the day, General Molin eux said to the Associated Press that Mrs. Roland B. Molineux arrived at his house the night of Thursday, November 6, the day of the acquit tal of her husband, leaving there the ensuing morning. The General had gone to business earlier in the day, and did not see her. "She left no word," he said,"and that is the lal jb we have seen or heard of her." As to the report that Mrs. Roland Molineux has gone to South Dakota for the purpose of obtaining a di vorce, the General said: , "1 know that the idea of a divorce did not come from any member , of my family or household. I expect to obtain more particulars to-morrow, which I may or may not com municate to the public." UP TO MR. PRITCHARD. Appointment of a Postmaster at Wilson Expected to Open a . Fight Between the Lily Whites and the Negros. Washington, Nov. 12. The cru cial moment has arrived for Senator Pritchard to test the extent of his influence at the White House. The abandonment of a well defined policy or a measuring of lances with Booker Washington and the negro influence that has held sway with the presi dent for the past three weeks con fronts the Senator. It is up to him to say which horn of the dilemma he will seize. More than a year ago Senator Pritchard announced that he would remove all negro postmasters " in North Carolina. He has lived up to his promise and there remains today but one colored postmaster in the State. Samuel H. Vick, a colored man, still holds the postoffice at Wil son, and it is the best plum that was awarded to the colored race during the fusion administration. Vick's term expired in May and Senator Pritchard made it known that a white man would get the place. A dozen, mostly Democrats, entered the race for the position, which pays $2, 500 per annum. It was a badly com plicated situation, and to settle it Senator Pritchard decided to name that applicant who should be most acceptable to the business interests of the town. An appointment will shortly be made and it was learned to-day that prominent negroes, not only of North Carolina, but of other States as well, will make a determined fight for Vick's retention in office. Moreover, it is said that Booker Washington's aid will be invoked in behalf of Vick and that every in fluence will be brought to bear in behalf of the colored postmaster's cause. J. T. STEPHENS.

Address, J. B. LANE, .p98w Faro, N. C. BOOKER WASHINGTON'S MISTAKE. Charlotte Observer. In becoming the chief adviser of the President for the entire South, a triumph of a certain kind has been attained by Booket T. Washington the man and by the negro race through his representation. It means no little when white men like Pritchard, of North Carolina and Bingham, of Alabama, are set aside at the suggestion and advice of a ne gro. And yet this unusual triumph is little better than a soap-bubble for solidity and substance. It must of necessity be of an evanescent nature. And in the long run it will doubt less prove more harmful than bene ficial. Booker Washington is out of his sphere. His place is as the edu cator of the negro youth. He has time and again in his public utter ances advised them to eschew poli tics and devote themselves to learn ing trades to making themselves valuable, even iudispensabl, as artis ans. He should practice what he preaches. He sets them a poor ex ample in dabbling in politics himself when he tells them there is nothing: in it for the race. His course will inevitably result in his Incurring the enmity of Southern white Republi cans and the suspicion of Southern white Democrats. A leading North Carolina Republican politician re marked the other day that Wash ington and his race had more to ex pect from Southern white Democrats than Northern white Republicans. The former are the jieople among whom the negro educator's lot is cast. They are the people ills Tus keegce boys and girls are being fitted to serve. They are the best friends the race ever had and the only ones who understand the negro pertectly, gauge hiiri justly and appreciate him at his true worth. In straying from educational into political fields, Washington, as tl.e grtat leader and exemplar of his people, is holding up before them an uurealizableideal. and injuring his own iniluence ac quired through long years of sub stantial service.
