The shooting of a farmer near New ton, N. C, by Rev. J. j. Payseur, form erly of this city and principal of a school at Atk'nson, N. C, near there, has caused widespread interest among many people who knew Mr. Payseur in this .sect'ion. Frona this week's issue of the Newton Enterprise, pub lished in the county in which the shooting occurred, the Star takes the Allowing account of the affair: "On Friday night reports were fly ing to the, effect that Rev. J. J. Payseur had been huntng on the lands of Mr. Ezell Burke that day and on Mr. Burke's ordering him. off high words ensued and Payseur fired at Burke h'ittmg him in the face. Payseur was arrested and released on a cash bond of $100. We have since talked with several of Maiden's prominent citi zens and find that while there are wit nesses to iswear on both sides the prevailing opinion seems to be that Payseur shot Burke qn very little provocation. Dr. Kluttz was called and dressed Mr. Burke's wounds which is a cut about four inches long and "It Pormal Transfer to City By the SoroSfe at Public Recept- ion Last Nfett. I T . .." "4 a J.

An examination of the telegraph sheets kept at the Rangoon and Law yer's block offices discloses the fact that Mattoax allowed train No. 33, the Jacksonville Express in the block, the train passing his station getting a cleat trtbcY from hfin -it, 6 :W oork. The "Operator at Lawyer's, the next station ahead claimed that Mattoax did not ask him for a "clear track" for No. 33 and he therefore, did not know this train had passed Rangoon. The block sheet shows that the operator at Rangoon asked the operator at Law yer's for a clear track for No. 37, the vestibuled limited, and the Law yer's operator, not knowing that No. H was in the block, gave No. 37 the right of way at 6:14 and No. 37 pass ed Rangoon at that time. Simmered down, if Mattox at Rangoon had re ported train No. 33, on the block to Lawyer', then there would have been no accident and the operator at Law yer's would have hell No. 37 at Ran goon until the Jacksonville train had cleared the block at Lawyer's. Superintendent W. S. Andrews, of the Danville division, to-day explained that the report that the engine of the i forward train had gone some distance ahead of its train when It became de tached, was erroneous, the fact being that the engine did not leave the train more than 20 feet, the air brakes ap plying immediately on the engine aa well as o-the train.

The formal presentation of the library was by Miss Margaret Gibson, president of the Sorosis and through whose efforts largely the public libra ry was possible. She was exceedingly graceful in her presentation and was heard with delight in the happy little discourse "which meant so much for the culture and education cf the peo pie of her native city. " The response was by Mayor A. M. Waddell, always at his best upon an occasion of the kind. He referred to efforts for a public library in the past, the dif ficulties that beset the efforts and the great triumph that had been reserved all these years for Sorosis, whom he highly TJoromendea for thilr1 Unmift cence and in behalf of the people of the entire city thanked for their noble gift. The incident of the presentation and acceptance was easily the feature of greatest interest among the many that marked an evening of supreme delight for all in attendance. Following the more imposing part of the ceremonies, the reception gave way to the more iformal part of the exercises, during the evening a num ber of very charmingly rendered mu sical selections having been given. The selections were by Mrs. A. M. Waddell, Mrs. J. M. Coin, Mrs. R. G. Grady and Miss Fannie Hines John son, of Raleigh, - who favored the guests with an admirably played vio lin solo, which was heartily encored. During the evening light refreshments Simpson was arrested Thanksgiv ing night by Night Watchman J. D. McClammy, who discovered the negro in the car, ostensibly stealing some eggs from a crate. ' The Coast Line s been much annoyed for some time by thefts from cars on the yard and Whtchman McClammy made an effort to get a confession from Simp son as to others implicated- Thene go gave the name of James Williams, :an employe on the yards, but admit ted in court yesterday that he had lied on Williams and he was discharg ed. Simpson said that he had impli cated Williams under fear of violence from the officer. Mary Byrd, a negress, was given 30 days on the farm for being drunk and disordery. Luther Wheeler, col ored, was charged with being drunk and disorderly and using vile and abusive language toward the pastor of the negro Baptist church where a service was n progress at Fitfh and Campbell streets Tnankcgiving night.

A sailor all his life and believing that he had (signed aboard the boat for a certain term of service, an idea which was probably encouraged by his fellow laborers in a spirit of joc ularity at the foreigner's expense, James Mattson, a Russian Finn, ran away from the government dredge Ajax at work on the "Rocks" near the mouth of the Cape Fear river Tuesday evening about 6 o'clock, escaping by jumping from the boat and swimming to a marsh in the neighborhood. The crew of the boat heard the man cry out and seeing no more of him, be lieved for several days that he had been drowned. Such was not the case, however, for after a trying ex perience in the marsh and 1 buffeting about on the rocks during which he 'received painful bruises, he was pick ed up by a passing boat and taken to Southport.

Increase in Receipts for Month of November. - Last year when phenomenal in creases each month were being shown in the receipts at the Wilmington postaffice, it was suggested that the records were so favorable ' then that it would' be hard to show, any im provement the succeeding year. The town and its business were growing then at a rapid pace and people could not believe that it would keep up. The record at the postoffice, however and that't the very best indication show that. not only does the busi ness of "the city keep expanding but that the ratio of increase is even greater than at this time last year. According to the official report of Postmaster Wallace at the close of business for November last night, tne receipts at the Wilmington postoffice show an increase of business over last year by twenty-seven and three fourths per cent! Last November the receipts were $6,809 02 for the month while this November they have been $8,7000.15, an increase in dollars been $8,700.15, an increase in dollars exceedingly gratifying. 850. der's. colored Silks, 6c at Reh- Last day of Silk and Ribbon Sale, 25 and 35c.
