At midnight to- night fire broke out in the big savV mill plant of the Mobile Lumber Company-, a concern capitalized at bhe million dollars, and at this hour (2 a. m.) is still burning fiercely. Aid was asked from the city and two hose companies were sent out, but they were powerless to do much towards stoppiug the headway which the flames had gained. The entire saw mill plant was destroyed, to gether with 600,000 feet of valuable hardwoods on the yards. There was a brisk wind blowing at the time of the fire, which carried the sparks for a distance of one or two miles, set ting fire to the driek grass and the saw dust on the Telegiaph road, in many places a mile or two from the scene of the fire, and. imperiling the adjoining milling property. The fire spread to the plant of the Hubbard brothers where the main office building, six residences and a school house were destroyed, The loss will probably run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. A schooner at the dock of the Mo bile Lumber Company is supposed to be on fire, but the fire is so hot even at this hoxr it is impossible to get within a quarter of a mile of the scene.

Norfolk, Va., Oct. 21 . Gt-orgeW. ! Blount, a negro jnoprietor of a fish md oyster shop in the suburbs of Berkeley, was taken early this morn ing from the police station, where he was confined, by four masked men and shot to death, while two other masked men kept the pol ice men in charge of the station and a member of the tow,n fire department who was in the station office, cov ered with revolvers. Blount had been arrested Saturday night for striking T. D. Holloman, a Berkeley police man in the face with alighted lamp, badly burning him. The officer had j gone to Blount's place to arrest an other negro and Blount refused the officer permission to enter. The attack on the station was made when but one officer was on duty and he was compelled to give up the keys at the point of a pistol. The mob seized Blount and carried him into Hardy's field, a short dis tance away, where he was beaten to death with some blunt instrument and then shot. The mob dispersed and the officers declare they know none of the participants. Blount has been for many years a negro Repub lican leader and at one time held a position in the Norfolk navy yard. W. W. Robertson, a lumber dealer and a resident of Berkeley told Mayor Allen, of that place, to-day that he witnessed the killing from his bedroom window and that Blount's screams awakened him. Four masked men, he said, had Blount in the middle of the street i and were clubbing his head.

It was my pleasure to attend the International Sunday School Con vention held at Daniels Chapel on Saturday and Sunday October the 15th and lGth. While there were some cases of diphtheria around, the people were there in great numbers especially on Sunday with their zeal and interest to attend the best Sun day School Convention ever held in Wayne county. Every ones name on the program was there, also others who seemed to be there for no other purpose but to work. Prof. S. M. Smith, the gen eral State secretary, was there both days and was competent to fill every gap left open by some one else. The election ol. officers on Satur day evening resulted in the election of J. M. Mitchell, for President; T. J. Hood, Vice-President; J. W. Thompson, Secretary and Treasure; II. B. Parker, Chairman Excutive Committee, with Miss Laura E. Moore and others. We feel that all honor is due Bro. Parker for the high standard he leaves the work in, but the incom ing President will leave nothing un done by himself and assistants to hold the banner that Wayne county now has as the best organized county in the State. Sunday broke clear and bright:the people commenced pouring in, until j the house and grounds were filled to ! overflowing. Promptly at 10 o'clock the choir commenced it exercise, led by Mr. J. W. Saddler, and the singing was excellent. Tho addresses by Rev. Hight C. Moore and Thad Jones, Jr., were good and instructive. But as we pass along over the program we can not forget that able and deep con vention sermon delivered by Rev. Plato Durham, of Trinity College. The afternoon was taken up by an address by Prof. S. M. Smith and others, the singing again was fine especially a solo by Miss Annie Pip kin and quartette by four young men 'from your city and Virginia. After teachers Conference and the presentation of the banner for the best organized and active township which rightly went to Fork, and ac cepted by its President's, J. M. Mit chell. The Conference adjourned to meet j tne first Saturday and Sunday in September 1905, at that beautiful new church "Pina Forest" at the newly elected county Pretident, old home la Fork township.

PEIMLS OF LAM) A NI SEA. Captain Williiei's Ilemarkable Escape Shows What to do in Time of Trouble. For many years, Captain Wilinef, says the Times of Gloucester, Mass., was one of the best known seamen in the Gloucester Fleet. The ca tarrhal troubles with which he suf fered for fifteen years made him dread the nights at c-ea, being unable to lie dotvn and sleep on account of the constant catarrhal dropping. Captasn Wilinef went to two dif ferent hospitals for treatment, but could get no lasting benefit. He con stantly raised yellow and green phlegm and his trouble became so unbearable and nauseating that he was ashamed to go out in company. When despairing of ever getting re lief, his wife purchased a Hyomei outfit for him, and trying it before going to bed, he enjoyed the first whole night's sleep for ten years. Captain Wilinef says: "I have used less than two-bottles of Hyomei and have been cured by the remedy.' Hyomei kills the germs of catarrh and makes lasting and permanent cure3. J. H. Hill & Son sell Hyomei un der theif personal guarantee to re fund the money if it does not give ! quick leiief. WAS I1R0BBERY? AVOlXblli) MAX TAKEN liF.Y HOSPITAL. TO A Man Was Found at the Fail Grounds in a Stall Bleeding and Senseless. Raleigh News and Observer. With his face beaten to a pulp, his head and features covered with clotted blood, the unconscious body of a man suppo-ed to be William Home, of Snow Hill, was found yes terday morning at daybreak in one of the cattle stalls at the State Farr. The clothes of the man had been drenched with rain and his limbs were stiff and chilled by exposure to the cold. From all appearances he had been lying where found since some time the preceeding day. From the character of his wounds it was evident that he had been the victim of a brutal assault and, as no money was found on his person, it is the na tural supposition that robbery was the motive. Immediately after the discovery of the wounded man, a telephone message was sent to Rex Hospital and an ambulance responded, and the wounded man was taken at once to the hospital by Fair policemen Pump Jones, of Apex and W. A. Jones, of Holly Springs. From disjointed attempts at speech made by the wounded man, it was gathered that he was William Home, of Snow Hill, or from near Golds boro. Owing to the desperate char acter of his wounds and the fact that his mouth is crushed in, he is not yet able to talk intelligently and conse quently no details of the crime are yet obtainable. It was said at the hospital last night that, while the wounds were very serious and the patient suffer ing greatly from the shock, that the physicians considered that he had a fair chance of recovery. In the meantime the manner of the assault and robbery remains a mystery which may or may not be solved when the man is able to give coherent speech, or one that may be definitely sealed by death. Home, who appears to be a man somewhat past middle age, bald- headed and grey haired, was well dressed and appeared to be a pros perous and respectable citizen. Whetner he was attacked in theslall or was beaten aud then put away in the place v, here he was found, are open questions. Almost any one of the many wounds s.bout his head wrould have rendered the man un conscious The number and vicious- ,i ne?s of the blows indicate that his assail usts thought to murder their victim, and probably left him only when they i.it lhat thy h;d accom plished their purpose. j Mr. Home is suffering from con- cussion ol the brdi a and, while his condition is serious, he is said to be progressing satisfactorily. WAS IT AX ACCIIJKXT? Certain Fair employees are re ported as saying the man Home fell from a "spinning jinny" at the Fair grounds while intoxicated and that he afterwards fell from the top of a shed, a distance of about eight feet, their opinion being that the in juries are purely the result of an ac cident. Immediately after reading the above article the Argcts reporter j made an investigation of the matter I aim louuu ny iioiut, WHO j is a harness maker by trade and works for Capt. J. W. Lamb, ot this city, left on Thursday morning to take in the Raleigh Fair, and was expected to return yesterday. When he left here he had between $20 and $25 on his person, and when found, as stated in the article above, I ' ' he id not have acei;t in his pockets, which wnuHi n ho way assaulted and n.h. He has born in th employ of Capt. J. W. Lamb for 1" years, who is also liis guardian. "Billy" is a good-natured fellow, quiet, inoHWiMve and peaceable, a man that owes no one any harm, and has many warm friends in this city who are indeed sorry to learn of his mishap. He has always been afavoritowith Capt. I jamb, who would spend hig last dollar on him. Upon receipt of the news this morning, Ca,;t. Lamb immediately telephoned to Raleigh to find out hia real condition and asked that he ber given every possible attention. A telephone message received by Capt. Lamb from Mr. J. J. Bowen, at Raleigh this afternoon at2 o'clock: states that Mr. Home, though ser iously hurt, is some better to-day, and that it is thought that he will recover. Must Apologize and Pay. London, Oct. 21 Great Britain to-day sent a long and urgent note to the Russian government olficially detailing the circumstances of the amazing and unexplained attack by the Russian second Pacific squadron during the night of October 21, on British fishing boats in the North Sea. The text of the note has not been given out, but it is olficially stated from the Foreign Office that it contains the significant announce ment that "the situation is one which, in the opinion of His Ma jesty's government, does not brook; delay." At the Russian embassy it wak stated that "the whole affair was so obviously a mistake from whatever cause, that Russia's course was plain ly dictated, namely, ai ology and ample compensation." All eyes are now turned towards St. Petersburg, awaiting word from the Russian government. The Russians gave not the slight est warning prior to the commence ment of the firing. The ad niral of the fishing flnet sent up a rocket warning, and then the firing com menced. He again seat up four green rockefs, but this only seemed to increase the ierocity of the bom bardment. The poor mark Clanship of the Russian gunners was the only thing that saved the entire fleet within range of the searchlights and guns. J. H.
