V- Mr. M. B. Sawyer, the young son of Mr. M. J Sawyer, was made foreman of tne grand jury. This body is com posed of an unusually intelligent class of men.

Ander son and T. B. Hayman for illegal vot ing in the recent prohibition election, were the most important. The votes of these men were challenged because of the non-payment of poll tax as re quired by the Constitution Several votes were challenged, but the judges in every wardY'except the seventh, re fused to allow those to vote who had not paid their poll tax by May 1st.

FIRE IN. THE "RACE TRACK. On Tuesday night at a lew minutes before ,.12 o'clock fire was. discovered in a vacant house in the' section of the town known as the "Race Track," near Shannon street. An alarm was turned in and' both companies responded, to the call, but on account of the long dis tance between the burning building and the place from whence a supply of water could be had it wos some time before the engine company could lend any material assistance. However, the Excelsior Hook and Ladder Company did excellent work in saving adjacent buildings. As above 'stated, the f re originated in a tenantless building, which naturaly shrouds the affair fn mystery. Two buildings were " totally destroyed, and, but for the efforts of the fire , department others in the vicinity of the fire would have also gone up in smoke. One of the houses that was jdestroyed belonged to Isaac Leigh, and the other belonged to Mat thew Overton, of Norfolk, Va. FROM NEW BERN INTO PAMLICO.

Guidon, and Mr. W. A. Cullen, of New York. He reports that the three last named gentlemen have closed a contract with the Pamlico, Oriental and Western- Railroad to build a track from New Bern into Pamlico, a distance of 25 miles. This will require the construction of trestle one mile long over the Neuse river, with a draw ,bridge. The W. W. . Mills Lumber Company has secured an order for one milion this trestle, which wil be at New Bern News and Observer: STEAMBOAT LINE TO HYDE COUNTY. Capt R. E. Cox, of Bnglehard, Hyde county, is in the city and the Tar Heel man ran across him yesterday. In the course of conversation the genial cap tain ventured the opinion that a steam boat line from Englehard, Middleton and Lake Landing to this city would be a -successful enterprise fro the start. There is enough business at present to warrant teuch an undertak ing and much more business could be developed. ' Capt Cox says that any movement looking to this end would meet with the most hearty co-operation on the part of the people of his county. TUESDAY NIGHT'S SHOW. "That Imprudent Young Couple the show billed for the Academy qf Music Tuesday night, was greeted by a small audience, j The Tar Heel re porter was not there, and among those who witnessed? the performance, he has been unable to find one who was willing to make favorable comment.

C, Sept 21, 1903. One of the most important events of the current week will be the meet ing next Thursday, September 24th, of the directors of the Atlantic & North Carolina RaMroad, to consider a new proposition for thelease of that prop erty, in which the State, owns a to thirds interest. - The new offer, which has been filed v.ih the Governor, is ma-?e by Messrs. W, W Mills and associa;t s, represent- ig"a railroad company ' the aroe parties whose formor pioposition was recently declined. Tr.e ful termv of the new offer will not !e made pnVle in advance of the meeting, but Mr. Mills states that instead of a fiat rate of 2 percent, for the entire term of the lease (50 years), they now offer 3 1-100 per cent two per cent, for the first 15 years, three per cenL for the second 15 years and four per cnt. for the " last 20 yei-s. Alec;- test the lessee company shall construct at least f.fty miles of additional road, wet of Goldsboro, which shall ., oeccmo , the property of the State at the end of the lease the holders of private stock sharing proportionately therein, as at present, I presume. . ,. V This is a much better offer than the first one, alid there, are 'those who think It i ought to be accepted. The directors representing the private shareholders of one-third of the stock of the company, are said to share .this view. But the result will depend upon the opinion and action of the State's directors, and they will probably be influenced considerably by the repart which President J. A. Bryan will make to them next Thursday, which is to be a full presentation of the condition ana xteeds of the, road. - - Four weeks hence and the great! State Fair, in which so many of our people all over the State are interested will be in full blast The newly ap pointed Chief Marshal, Hon. George Morton, of Wilmington, spent some time here' last week in consultation with other officials of the Fair, and will announce his list of assistants soon. In the meantime Secretary Pogue continues to book attractions and exhibits at a rapid rate. In ad dition to the usual midway shows and the free shows paid by the Fair man agement, he may also secure one of the largest carnival companies. In point of character and volume of ex hibits, races, attractions of all kinds and crowds of visitors, he expects this Fair to break all records. The'big Masonic Fair, which begins October 12th and lasts all through State Fair week, Is also materializing rapidly and will be the biggest thing ! of the kind ever held in North Caro lina. Grand Secretary Drewry parti cularly requests that all Masons to whom he mailed donation pledge cards same time ago will please flu them out and return to him, or let him hear from them on the subject at once. This is important and there is no time to lose. All Masons Bhould give something., It ievelops that many people, es-, pecially in the country, are under the impression that the new game law, passed by the Legislature last winter, prohibits the selling of partridges by farmers and others. This is not sd. HAD NOT ESCAPED. Two Convict Were Found Hiding in Penitentiary Building. Raleigh, N. O.. Sept 22. The belief ot the penitentiary officials that Dray ton Medlin, the murderer who was serving a life term from Gaston coun ty, and A, V. Rice, the thief who was serving ten years sentence from New Hanover, who so mysteriously disap peared nine days ago, were not at large, but were hidden somewhere in the prison, proved well founded. This afternoon they were found hidden in the loft of the building long used as a shoe shop. They were; beginning . to show the eftecti of their short food supply. ' They were at chapel at 5 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, September 13th, and an hour later had: absolutely dis appeared. : Tiey were found by search ers. They claimed they had chosen the; loft to hide in and had stored pro visions there. Some fragments of pro visions were found. . Both men are white and desperate. , They made np resistance when discovered.

Tell your cotton-growing farmer readers that the best informed farm ers, like Mr. Ashley Horne, of Clayton advises them not to be too precipitate in rushing their cotton to market That it is probably all right to sell as long as they can get ten cents or more, but when the market drops below ten cents they should call a halt at once and wait until it again takes an up ward tendency, which it will be sure to do. It is already pretty well as certalned that the crop this year will not exceed, and may fall short of, eleven million bales. The production will therefore fall short of the demand the consumption calling for eleven and a-half to twelve million bales and the .cotton grower who sells pound of good cotton this year for less than ten cents will cheat himself by the transaction, v FAILURE OF BIG TIMBER CO. A Western Carolina Concern Goes Info the Hands of a Receiver. Asheville, N. C, Sept 19. Asheville business men were astonished today on being told that the North Carolina Land and Timber Company's affairs had passed into the hands of a re ceiver. The company did an Immense business, principally at the mouth; of Laurel in Madison county, and some men of recognized standing in the fi nancial world were identified with the concern. J. E. Rankin was named as receiver in the order which was grant ed by Judge Simmonton. E. B. Betts of Troy, N. Y., and L. H. Putman were large stockholders, the latter having organized the concern.- The liabilities aggregate $600,000, while the assets include the largest saw mill in -the western part tf the State, nearly six thousand acres of timber land and thousands of feet of lumber. The company was chartered several years ago, and it is understood has lost steadily until it became wholly insol vent It is the largest failure that has occurred in this part of the State dur ing recent years. - - The ladies of, the City Road ME Church are conducting a rummage salt? in the Store opposite the post-office. .

St. George Bar , raud. - Richmond, Va Sept. 23. Facts of both an - interesting and sensational nature are coming to light in the case of P. St George Barroud, the .'Rich mond, lawyer, who has been missing for four weeks and whose brother and office assistant was. drowned in the' dock ten days ago.' It has developed that just before his departure he put on record a deed of trust, alleged to have been made by R. E. Daniel, of North Carolina, but, by him declared to be a forgery, to secure $3,000 borrowed from Councilman H. S. Beck and that for several days before Barraud left he was seen much in the company of Mrs. E. S. Pernell, of North Carolina, formerly a stenographer in his office, who left Ford's Hotel about the time of his departure. It has been found further that the $3,000 check was drawn in favor of Barraud, as attorney for Daniel and that the money was col- ected by the lawyer. The deed was recorded and the money drawn from bank August 25th, and Barroud left soon thereafter. ' These facts have been brought to light by an investigation being made by Commonwealth's Attorney Richard son, who has directed the police de tectives to try and locate Barraud, though no complaint has - been made nor any proceeding instituted. Bar raud, who has. been a member of the Bar here for some years, was counsel for Mr. Daniel, a large lumber dealer, and his brother, Dr; J. Sills Daniel, a specialist here. An inquiry by Mr, Beck, who 'sought to place insurance on the property on which he had made a loan, was the means of notifying the Daniel Brothers that a deed of trust had been placed on their property. Mr, Daniel, in a telegram received tonight, declares that any deed of trust with his name attached is a forgery. Mr, Beck has retained counsel and will contend for the validity of the deed. Mrs. Pernell came here several years ago from Nashville, N. C, and after a business course accepted a position in Mr. Barraud's office. She left two years ago. When she came to Rich mond August 17th, she registered as from Norfolk.- Mr. Barraud was with her a good deal at the hotel and took supper there with her. The young man's wife has-returned to her father's home in North Carolina, and is reported to be ill there. His aged parents, sisters, and remaining brother have broken up the home here. It is not believed that they ex pect the missing member of the family to return. ' COTTON PICKING BEGINS. The Staple Will Fall Short of Expec tations. The Weekly Crop Bulletin for week ending Monday, September 21, 1903 says: "The first part of the week continued fair and warm, but during the passage northward of the sub-tropical storm over western North Carolina on the 16th and 17th considerable rain fell over most of the State, with the largest amounts in the western sec tion. At some places in the west heavy rains washed land considerably, and high winds blew down some corn and bruised a little tobacco. The amount of damage was smal, and gen erally the rainfall was beneficial to all late crops, and placed the soil in ex cellent condition for plowing. Follow ing the rain occurred a decided fall in temperature, and the remainder of the week was quite cool with tempera' tures below the normal. Very light frosts were reported the mornings of the 18th and 19th in several western counties, without any damage to crops The minimum temperature was 36 degrees at Asheville the morning of the 19th. During the latter portion of the week which was fair and favor able for farm work, owing to the ex cellent condition of the soil, fall plow ing began to make more rapid pro gress, and a considerable amount of fall oats and rye was sown. - Cotton continues to open rapidly on stiff land, but rather slowly on light lands; picking is progressing well, and the crop is being placed on the market as rapidly as it is ginned. From previous teports of rust and shedding, and complaints of small bolls, it is estimated that cotton will not produce as large a crop as was anticipated a month ago. Late corn continues, and practically all of the corn is ready to gather in, the eastern and southern portions. Gathering fod der is nearing completion. Cane seems to be an excellent crop, and making syrup is progressing with good yield. Cutting and curing to bacco continue in Surry, Person Stokes, Caswell, Granville and David son. but . this work is now nearly finished,- though there is some1 tobacco which can hardly be cut for a -week or two yet. ; The late crop is curing well.
