ATTEMPT j AT MURDER.
A Conductor on the Seaboard AirXiine .
i Shot and Seriously Wounded. .
A dastardly assault and attempt to
murder was made last Friday evening
at Hamlet, on- Capt. T. F. Kirkland,
conductor .of the passenger tram that
'arrived at that place from Raleigh at
7.20 that evening, by a passenger
named Martin Meeks.
There. had been some misunderstand
ing between the conductor and Meeks.
because ot the latter's insisting upon
riding in the first class coach on a sec
ond class ticket and the conductor had
invited him to take the coach called for
by his ticket. When the train stopped
at Hamlet, the conductor stepped out on
the platform at the station, when he was
immediately approached by MartinMeeks
who after applying to- him a most of
fensive epithet, and before he could be
stopped, drew a pistol and shot Capt.
Kirkland twice, inflicting severe wounds
in his left hip near the groin, and three
inches apart. Meeks then held the
crowd back with his pistol until he
gained the shelter of a large swamp into
which be made his escape. Neither the
conductor nor any of the bystanders
were armed, but the conductor showed
great courage and closed upon the
drunken miscreant even after he had
been so badly wounded.
Capt. Kirkland was removed to Ral
eigh for treatment. While his wounds
are severe, it is thought he will soon re
cover, i
BALLOON ASCENSION.
At Carolina Beach About Fifteen
Hun-
dred People Present.
About fifteen hundred people visited
Carolina Beach yesterday to see the
balloon ascension and parachute drop by
the Jewell Brothers. At 5.30 p. m.
Mr. Ed. Jewell appeared on the
grouuds where the ascension was to
take place, and . began preparations.
It was not long before every
thing was in readiness and the daring
aeronaut in his green silk tights called
for volunteers to hold the balloon to
earth. Volunteers responded readily
and a number lent their aid to keep the
"air bag" from soaring aloft before the
'Professor" was ready to "let her go."
At last the signal was given and the
balloon soared aloft amid the enthusi
astic shouts of the crowd, the "Pro
fessor"1 hanging to the trapeze of the
parachute by his toes.
The balloon ascended two or three
thousand feet before it commenced to
descend; Mr. Jewell, in the meantime.
being unable to detach the parachute
from its fastening. He descended with
the balloon until it was about twenty
feet from the water and then dropped
into the sea and made for the shore.
The balloon struck the water soon
after, and was recovered by men who
went out to it in boats.
Although the parachute drop was a
failure everybody was well pleased with
the exhibition and voted it a success.
Sagacious Merchants and Tradesmen.
: More people fail in business and miss
wealth by injudicious advertising than
from any one or all other causes. The
Washington (D. C.) Star, after years of
observation of the ups and downs of
merchants and other trades people,
says: "Primarily what, an advertiser
seeks is publicity for such announce
ments as he wishes to make. And the
wider the publicity the better, other
things being equal. He might just as
well put the money he pays for adver
tising into an old stocking and bury it
in the back yard as to print his induce
ments where they will not be seen by
the particular people whose attention
he aims to attract. What he should use,
therefore, is the newspaper that is read
by the largest number of persons likely
to want what he' has to offer. Mere
extent of circulation does not always in
sure the kind of publicity required by
the advertiser. It is the quality of cir
culation that tells, as well as its extent.
That, indeed, is the vital factor in the
problem the advertiser has to solve.
Sensational and scandalous cesspool
journals, that are chiefly circulated in
the slums of a city, and read by the
riff-raff of the town, may and often
do have a very considerable circula
tion, as the number of copies printed
and handled! indicate, but they. are
merely glanced at to see whether the
new scandal is worse than the old one,
and then tossed into the gutters, where
they belong. They are consequently
worth nothing to the man or woman
whose aim is to reach reputable and
responsible people who will probably
become customers if sufficient induce
ments are held oilt," -
Eev. B. G-. Pearson. -
Rev. R. G. Pearson, the evangelist,
will sail for Eurone. SeDtember 5th. In
a letterto Mr. Brenizer, of Charlotte,
N. C, Mr. Pearson says: "We will
spend most of the winter in London;
then the spring and summer in Ger
many, Switzerland and Scotland; return
ing to New York, . September '92, if we
don't get too "home sick" to stay long
er. Since , I can't work, it seems that
foreign travel is the best thing I can do,
and I trust to be benefitted in more
ways than one." .
WEATHER CROP BULLETIN
For tho! Week Ending Friday, Aug. 14th.
The reports of correspondents of the
weekly Weather Crop; Bulletin, issued
by the North Carolina Experiment Sta
tion and State Weather service, for the
week ending Friday, August 14th, 1891,
show that decidedly more favorable
weather conditions have prevailed dur
ing the past week . ' than have
been experienced for some time,
and that the outlook is becom
ing encouraging. . The excessive rains
have ceased, and the weather has been
very . warm with abundant sunshine.
Occasional showers have, fallen which
" have not been injurious. The excess in
temperature per day was 2 degrees at
Knoxville and, Wilmington, and 4 de
grees at Charlotte, Raleigh and Nor
folk; the deficiency in rainfall for the
week was .50 of an inch at Knoxville
1.30 inches at Wilmington und 1.10
at Raleigh. Cotton ,has improved
slightly during the week, though it con
tinues to shed somewhat. The plants
are large and thrifty and with a few
weeks good weather will fruit well, but
the poor stand obtained at the beginning
will keep the yield down.
Corn has improved 3 per cent, over
last week. It is reported everywhere to
be in excellent condition. Tobacco con
tinues in good condition, though there
is some complaint of lower leaves "fir-.
The prospects are for continued fine
weather.
The present condition of crops is as
follows:
Eastern District cotton 76 corn 85,
tobacco 87.
Central District Cotton 75, corn 87:
tobacco 82.
Western District cotton 75, corn 88,
tobacco 88.
For the State cotton 75, corn 87,
tobacco 86.
150, reports received representing 66"
