ford, ainiOsT seventy years old, was
shot down and fatally Injured in his
printing establishment by R. D. By
num, a man of 35 years, one of his
partners in the job printing business.
Alford died Thursday nieht- Tho
er partner of the firm of Alford, By
num & Christophers, namely, Charles
D. Christophers, was present and wit
nessed the shootiner. Th? fmnt a AA1
of the establishment is closed, and
the terrible affair occurred in the
printing room, which Is separated
from the front office by a door.
Bynum is a hard drinker, and has
been on a debauch for some days.
It la stated that he went into the ni
and began to curse Mr. Alford, and
then made a motion as if to pull a
pistol from a hip pocket. At this Al
ford moved towards him, and then,
according to Alfords statement, By
num rapidly shot three times. The
pistol must have been held very close
to the body. Powder burns show
where two bullets entered the right
breast, one bullet remaining in iho
J U V4UV
body and the other going upward and
smashing a shoulder blade. The oth
er bullet seems to have missed its
mam. ine old men fell between the
casee, Christophers failing to stop
Bynum from leaving the place, evi
dently fearing that the drunken man
would shoot him; also. It seems that
only one or two persons heard the
noise of the shot, but did not locate
it. Bynum walked out of the front
door and along East Hargett street.
His dishevelled appearance led one
or two persons who passed him to
ask him what w&3 the matter. He re
plied in a drunken voice that he did
hot knovvjDr something to that effect,
and went on to the corner, turning'
down South Blount street a few
blocks, from the capitol building. The
first man who got into the inside of
tho place was led to enter by the ap

Penitentiary Report.
The penitentiary directors Monday
evening filed their report with Gover
nor Aycock, showing a net surplus cf
$132,868. Included in this are $60,O0C
in penitentiary debt bonds purchased
by the directors. Other assets con
sisting mainly of cotton, are estimated
at the present market value, several
crops being left out of the estimate so
as to offset any further slump in cot
ton. But for the slump the surplus
would have been $150,000, the direc
snstate. They recommend that th
$ oO.OOO aebt bonds thev hold bo de
voted to the establishment of a re
formatory for young criminals. Th'
Governor approves this recommenda
tion. The prison and its various
branches are in good pbvsical condi
tion and the past four years were un
marked by any epidemic, small or
great. The order was good, generallv
speaking, the convicts have behaved
exceptionally well, this being due to
strict discipline and kind and consider
ate treatment. There are now hospi
tal wards for white and- negro con
sumptives. Many improvements have
been made in the convict quarters at
the State farm. Tho letter vieldd
