The close of a great tragedy was at hand: human life had been ruthlessly taken; a human life was of the jury in the hands the fate of a human being was trembling in the balance. The Judge upon the bench was waiting for the verdict; the counsel who had so ably and eloquently and effectually de fended the prisoner, Ex Judge W. S. ()' 13. "Robinson and Mr. M. T. Dickinson, were in their seats; the Solicitor, who had as ably prosecuted him, was at nis post;the great throng of earger spectators hung breathless for the words: solemn ly they fell from the lips of the jury's spokesman upon the silence of the scene "Guilty of murder in the second degree." Instantly there was a sigh of relief from the great throng, and it was evident that the virdict, under the eloquent, clear-cut, matchless defense of the de fendant's counsel, met the general wish of the thronged court house. In a moment the Judge rapped to order, and with the prisoner and jury still standing, he thanked the jury for the patience with which they had heard and considered the case and said he was glad they had been merciful in their virdict. lie then addressed the prisoner in words of severe arraignment; he painted the crime he had committed, and said to him that only his youth had saved him in the hands of the jury from the gallows. His Honor then sentenced him to tho full term of punishment for murder in the second degree, 30 years in the penitentiary at hard labor.

We have visited the County Home, which we, find in good repair, and its inmates well c tred for and contented: The jail is in good condition and we j heard no complaint from the prisoners: ' The convict camp need a better pro tection in tents, and the management is very good: The Clerk's and llegister's offices' are j kept as well as their limited space per- mits, but the rooms are entirely too; small for the piopcr use of these : ollicers, and convenience of persons having business in them. In this con nection we earnestly recommend the' extension of the Court House front, by twostory wings, making the court room larger, and giving oP.ie.es on the ground l'.oor for the Clerk and Register of Deeds, and in th ; second story, rooms lor jurors and witnesses. Wo recommend that the township Supervisors give,, more attention to working the public roads by tho over seers, and that the convicts shall work all the public roada for live miles from Goldsboio, and from other towns in the county "proportionately. We being convinced that tho present method of road working is a failure, the road be ing in very bad condition, and the same is true of the streets of Goldsboro, which are in worse shape than the public roads. We recommend that the County Com missioners build an iron bridge with double track, and the dam be raised Talks About His tion for Solicitor in This District. Mount Olive Tribune: lx-Judge W. S. O'R. Kobinson, the genial, big-hearted and popular Irish member of tho Goldsboro bar, was in Mount Olive Thursday of last week, appearing for the prosecution in a pre liminary hearing before 'Squire II. J. Williamson. The Republican Judical Convention for the Sixth District in session at Ra leigh Wednesday of last week, nomi nated Judge Robinson for Solicitor, to oppose Solicitor Armistead Jones, the Democratic nominee. When asked by the Tribune man about this new honor (?) Judge replied, in his cheerful and characteristic way, as follows: "I didn't seek the nomina tion; in fact I didn't hav;; anything to do with it; but if the people of the Sixth District vote for either of the nominees they may rest assured that they will bo casting their votes for a d m fine man." Tho Judge Avouldn't tell us any more about it, and concluded tho interview by appealing to a by-stander to assist him in getting rid of "this horrible newspaper man." We draw from tho statement made that ho will mako tho raco against Solicitor Jones. "Shall be delighted to meet the boy of the press. Ihae not found any better newspaper men anywhere than our own." Dew is Fixon gave the program as at present arranged for the 30th. Mr. Dryan is to land at four p. m. at the Rattery, where he- will be met by' a small sub-committee and welcomed by Acting Mayor MeGowan. Under a small police escort Mr. Dryan w ill be driven up liroadway to Fiftieth street, thence to Fifth Avenue and south to the Victoria Hotel, In the first car riage with Mr. Dryan, will be Acting Mayor McCown, Governor Folk, of Missouri, and William Hoge, president of the Commercial Travelers Anti-Tust League, which started the movement for-the reception. At the hotel Mr. Bryan will'be re ceived by a delegation from the recep tion committee, consisting of five mem bers from each State. At 7:45 Mr. Dryan will be escorted to Madison Square Garden and the meeting will begin at 8. After the meeting inside Mr, Bryan will address, an overflow' meeti-;' in Madison Square.

Instead of shipping to other countries one hundred millions of bushels of wheat, as we did in the last fiscal year, we will send abroad this year two hun dred million bushels, as we wall be able to sell at least two hundred million bushels of corn, and probably seven million bales of cotton. Moats and pro visions will be shipped in almost fabu lous quantities. Just think of the activity', energy and enterprise needed to market abroad a billion dollars' worth of agri cultural products! That is the task before tho country at this moment, and the task must be executed in good part in th next four, five or six months. Every railroad will be crowd ed with commodities, and every ship will bo loaded almost to the line of safety. The south knows what it is to market a cotton crop, and the west must m. i rket its surplus of the wheat and corn crops. All this is outside of domestic dis tribution. When that is added we have a people busy and Washington. D. C, August 22. The agitation as to the authority of the Sec retary of War to grant permission to the Italeich and Pamilco railroad to construct a bridge across the Pamlico river below the town of Washington has not yet reached tho national capital. This information was given today at the office of General MacKenzie; chief f engineers of the army when the re port with reference to the revocation of the original order for the construction of the bridge was brought to the atten tion of officials. The Secretary of War has not revoked the order, and what is more the War Department ha3 heard nothing with regard to the subject since March 26th last when permission was granted for construction of the bridge. Officials in the engineers' office were shown Judge Shepherd's opinion, and hen it is presented to the proper of ficials here it will undoubtedly receix e the attention that it merits. It is ad mitted, though unofficially, that the Secretary of War cannot give authority to build a bridge without requisite local authority, and that the question of obstructing navigation in the determin ing factor in almost every instance where the department is called upon to sanction the construction of bridges. The contention is made that the charter of the R. and 'P. railroad gives ample authority on the part of the states, justifying the action of the Secretary of War. It is assumed here that the ob jections of citizens of Washington to j the order for the erection of the bridge are now before the local engineers. In that event they will come before depart ment officials hero for review. no iceman were told Huck, the chaulleur, who was digging J monyls bullets from the automobile at the will show that in nearly every in stance there is a weak stomach and more or less indigestion.

"Mrs. Armour had asked that I bo careful, on account of Miss Lolita. We had just turned into the Ridge road when the policeman appeared. Mrs. Armour sat on the first seat with me, and in the rear were Miss Lolita, Miss Butler, her nurse, and a woman whom I did not know. The policeman ordered us to stop, calling out that we were violating the speed law. I denied it, for we were going so slowly that we could keep up a running conversation with him. Then he drew a revolver and began to Avaivo it. I stopped the car and as he came up he began to shoot. He fired five shots. Here are the bullets now," and Huck pointed to the riddled tonneau. J. Ogden Armour is thoroughly roused over the outrage and said today he would push the case to the limit. Huck says that after the encounter with the first policeman he hurried througliEvaston because of the nervous condition of the woman. "We had just struck Evanston," he said, "when another policeman jump ed on the machine, and fearing that he, too, would draw his pistol, the nurse, 1 believe, began to beat him over the head with her umbrella, knocking olf his helmet. When taken before the judge I was fined ?20 tor speeding. We then proceeded to Lake Forest."
