STATE WEWS Baleigh N.. C. July 30. Strange to say nothing whatever has yet been learned of the where abouts Of the beautiful Miss Jessie "Wall, who disappeared from her home in Randolph county about gix weeks ago. It will be ; remem bered that she went out to 'the cow lots to look at the stock and noth ing has been , seen of her since. Her people offered a reward and a diligent search has been made ' but in vain: . Not the least reason has been conjectured for her strange conduct. She left a note saying that she had not disgraced herself or her people. - She was bright, well educated and beautiful. At Nazareth, the Catholic Or phanage just west of this .city's limits, the most extensive improve ments are now going on. Three fne buildings are being erected and they are situated on a; hill -so that they can be seen for miles away. Near the ' orphanage a school for colored children will soon be built; This -is probably the first effort . of the Catholic Church in this State towards edu cating the negroes A site has been bought in Johnstone county near Selma for a Catholic Church and this is the first property ever owned by that church in Johnston. Five churches have now been built in the country in this county. 1 J. W. Hoy t has been .arrested at "Wilmington for working a' swindl ing game. . He visited Kinston and pretended to represent the publish ing house of Barrie & Son., of Philadelphia. He took some orders for books with a cash payment and left. A letter from , the house said that he was not their agent and he was caught in "Wilmington. He is a man 60 years old, well educated and with pleasant address. . K. J. Coles, of Danville, Va., broke the worlds record fishing at llorehead yesterday. With . rod and reel he caught a shark weigh ing about 1200 pounds : and meas nreing 12 1-2 feet The shark was shot twenty times before he could be landed. Dr. Milligan, of the Government Fish Commission, was present and says that he believes this the largest fish ever caught on rod and reel. Major-General Julian S. Carr has issued a call for the annual re-union of the North Carolina Division of Confederate Vetrans to be in Greensburo Wednesday, August 20th. A splendid location has been .provided for the veterans and the State will lend the tents needed. There will be a number of pro minent speakers. H. T. Hall, of Danville, Ya , is in this State looking for his wife, who disappeared from his home. He is trying to find her to take her sister who is greatly horrified at her conduct Mr. Hall was on a business trip when his wife left and he says that had no 'reason - to believe her unfaithful before.

Exchange. MR. I W. RIGHT. A Few Words Relative To The Sec retary of The Y. M. C. A. of This City. - As previously announced in these columns, Mr. J. W. Kigh't of Har risonburg, .Va., had been called, by the board of directors, to the sec retary's chair. of the Y. M. C. A. in this city. He comes, highly rec commended to the people 6f this city, but probably the best .recom mendation is the following clipping from, the The Evening News of Harrisonburg. f'The many friends of J. W. Eight and - those who have the best in terests of the Young Men's Christ ian Association at heart, will learn with deep regret that his resigna tion as General Secretary was ten dered to the Board of Directors of that Institution, at a called meet ing yesterday evening, ; and was accepted by them to take effect on August 15th next. This action on the part of Mr. Eight was prompted by his ac ceptance of the offer to fill a similiar position presented him by the di rectors of the Y. M. C. A of Eliz abeth City, North Carolina. Eliz abeth City contains a population of about ten thousand, and Mr. Right's call to fill so ' responsible a position is realized by those who know him, as in the line of .well merited promotion. During the three years that Mr. Kight has been in charge of the Y. M. C. A. here he has not only endeared him self to all classesand ages of our people by his kindness of heart and courtesy , of- manner, i ut these qualities, together with an untiring zeal for the success of his work, have made him of great value to the young men and boys, of our community. . We hope the vacancy thus occasioned will be promptly filled by the Board. , . The very gratifying and health ful condition vof our local Associa tion, due in a large' measure to Mr. Right's personal efforts, gives full assurance that in his new and more extensive field of labor, for which he is so, well qualified, , all of c the obligations there demanded of him will be fully and ably discharged. - In order that the work of the Asso ciation may suffer as little as possi ble throughMr. Eight's resignation, we understand the Board ;of Direc tors have communicated with Mr." L. A. Coulter, State Secretary; with a .view of securing a successor at the earliest practicable moment'' Wilcox Still Living. Even at this"late' day the - ques tion is oiten asked us; . what has become of James -Wilcox; the al leged murderer of Ella Cropsey? Eor the benefit of ' those who. are jdesirous of knowing of his wnere abouts,; we. will eay that he is still confined in the jail in this city. As : already stated his - attorneys took an appeal to.t the , Supreme court, which meets sometime next month. The Supreme court will either sustain the; verdict ' of r the lower court or grant the prisoner a new trial. Excitement having subsided people are now viewing the matter in a more conservative ligh and it , is the general - opinion that Wilcox will have a new trial and eventually: be. acquitted. - ; ' -"Wilcox himself, doesn't seem to care much either way J He rather tries to make it. appear" that he enjoys v life behind the bars. He recently 'remarked, in the presence of the reporter, "I am now in good' killing order." - Unfavorable Reports. It is learned at the post office that unfavorable reports have been made concerning two of the four rural free delivery routes laid put by special agent .Veazey, recently. Congressman , Small, who; was here last week, expressed his regret at this but stated that he thought , it possible to soon obtain more favor able reports and that in his opin ion the four routes would be in operation by the first of September 1902. SANITARY CONDITIONS. Are Deplorable In the Extreme. Re port of Committee. The Sanitary Committee appoint ed by the , Chamber of Commerce at' a recent meeting of that body. made its report this week and we publish same in full.. The sanitary condition of the town is deplorable and there is no more harsh criti- cism of the ! authorities for their lack of attention to sanitary mat ters than the following. To the President and members of the Chamber of Commerce. : Elizabeth. City, N. C. Gentlemen : VVe, your committee to report on the sanitary condition of the town,beg leave to call your attention to the following: 1. The establishment for running of private sewers we consider a public nuisance and a menace to the health of the people - at least along the line of the sewerage if no further, from , the fact that the joints or connections' of such sew ers are imperfectly made, in all cases there being more or less leak age, and there being no way to flush or wash them out. 2. The location of cess pools in the back yard, and the draining or emptying of swill, slop water from bath tubs or ether sources into the street or back yard are , other sources' of infection- from which disease may spread. - 3. Another problem, and by far the most serious with . which our people have to contend, is the dis position of the night soil. .Our Commissioners say that it shall not be hurried (and we agree with them that it should not be); neither shall it be thrown into the river or any of the creeks. -The latter bp pears to us to be, under the ex isting conditions, the best way to dispose of it. . ; Under the present unsanitary condition, we feel that We should be thankful, and congratulate our selves upon having escapedan epidemic of fevers, bowel troubles and other germ, bred diseases for so long a time. ; You ask us to suggest s plan by which the present unsanitary con dition of the town may be remedi ed; and we unhesitatingly say that water works with a thorough sys tem of sewerage ' and drainage offers,, in. our opinion, ' the only solution to r the- problem. There must be water and sewerage, for one without -the other would amount to nothing. ' V Bespectfully submitted, ' v . L TR J IiUMSDKK, Db. J. Geiogs, vCom. W.
