" TRAGEDY IN JAlL. ' Te Jerry Krerett nurdereri Attempt - to Eaeepe One ef them Shot Dead an Another Severely Wonaded. Rockingham Spirit. On Tuesday morning last the jailer at this place, Mr. Alex. L. McDonald, went up as usual to have the - cells cleansed and feed his prisoners, tak ing with him a colored boy, aged fif teen years. Opening the door of the cell wherein the three Jerry Everett murderers and another murderer were confined, he Bent the boy into the cell while he remained at the door to pre vent their coming out, when suddenly James Chavis, one of the murderers, ran up and seized MrJ ' MacDonald around the waist, ' holding him by both arms; Asbnry Chavis, another of the prisoners, ran up and grabbed him by the throat, while' Jacobs, the other criminal, endeavored to wrest Mr. MacDonald's pistol from him, at the same time, having hold of Mr. McDonald's legs. Mr. McDonald, be ing a very stroug young man and not easily mtimidated, succeeded in' draw ing bi pistol, while James. Chavis had a firm hold on his arm, and fired, the ball entering that individual in the region of the heart. Mr. McDon ald then turned and fired another shot at Asbnry Chavis, the ball taking effect in the bowels and producing a very severe wound. Asbury and Jacobs then retreated into their cell, but still James Chavis, the one first shot, held on to Mr. McDonald, and only let go his hold when Mr. Mc Donald, with an effort, threw, him to the floor, when he instantly expired. The first shot fired by Mr. McDonald passed through his owir vest and burned his shirt, while ' the second shot also burned his' vest, he 'being hardly able to manage his pistol, so firmly did his antagonists have him pinioned. When James Chavis struck the floor he exclaimed, "l am dead," which were the last words he uttered. Aa Industrious Colored Men. Newberhiah.l ;; j 0 - . u: i - 1. . . 1. 1.

Upon inquiry we learn that Isaac, soon after the war, purchased a plan tation from Judge Manly for the sum of five thousand dollars, and that he has in the meantime,through industry and good management, not only se cured for himself and family a good livelihood, bnt has paid the amount of' purchase money in fall, besides buying and putting' up for bis own use a cotton, gin and steam engine This year he expects to market one r hundred bales as the cotton produc tion of his farm, which is situated on Brice's creek, about four miles jsouth of Newbern, and the Trent river. This is an example of industry and perseverance that our colored citi zens should take note of and follow with earnestness. j A Woaderfal Bleb Mine.' ; . "' Charlotte Observer. s .
