pronounced dead iu 14 minutes.
I he execution was strictly prk
vale, a few beiny; admitted by
ticket. Terry showed an titiu.
sual amount of nerve, and just
after the cap was placed over his
face, said he was guilty. While
on the gallows Terry read sever
al chapters from scriptures and
made a fervent prayer, told all
those present good-Oy, thanked
Sheriff Hodges for his kindness ;
stated he ftlt he had been for
given for what he had don and
said he was read' to die.
The body was turned over to
his brothers. Terry was tried
and convicted twice for rape
upon the body of Annie Smith.
He was captured in Wilmington
through the efforts of chief of
police, M. J. Fowler, and has
been iu jail two ears next July.
This is the first execution to
take place in our city since di
rectly alter the war.
The Canary Islands.
Kefnre the present war closes
the Canary islands, may become
the scene conflict between Spain
and the United States. Such
being iu the list of probabilities
it behooves us to inquire breilly
into the number, resources aud
location of these islands. The
Canarv islands lie iu the Atlan
tic ocean not far distant from
the western coast of Africa and
several hundred miles north of
the Cape Verde islands. They
comprise seven members, of
which Teneriffe and Grand Ca
nary are the largest. These is
lands enjoy the distinction of
being among the oldest of the
globe iu point of settlement.
They were known even to the
ancient Greeks, who gave them
the appellation of the Fortune
islands. Spain did not come'
into possession of these islands
until the beginning of the six
teenth ceuturv, aud she paid
dearly with her blood and treas
ure for the supremacy which
she established ova them. With
rpspect to the resources of the
islands, they are numerous and
abundant, consisting of prod
ucts which are native to the
temperate zone. The climate is
perrennially mild and beautiful.
The famous peak of Teneriffe
rises from the island of the same
name. We do not covet the Caua
ry islands, but emergencies of
war may yet compel us to dis
patch our fleet into their water-",
Spain, as a war power, was
once the most potential of all
the nations. She overawed all
Europe and Asia, and conquered
nearly half of the western world.
Hut her rulers never educated
the masses, and we see the re
sult. There is a good deal in
biojd, race, etc., but culture is
much more than half the battle.
A letter from Raleigh, Q

FACTS ABOUT THE NAVY.
The United Siatts is the fifth
naval power in the woild. The
navies of Great Britain, Ftauc

Armor plates aie toted by
firing steel "projectiles weipliiu:
from 100 to 1,500 pounds at them
from gnus charged with 500

four feet in diameter at the
largest part, and weigh 135,500

work; cruisers are commerce
destroyers; monitors are usefu
only for coast defense.
The Indiana could be outside
Sandy Hook and throw 1,200

the rate of four a minute.
Those artists who show smoke
in pictures of naval battles are
wholly wrong. Smokeless pow
der is used.
All of the cruisers are na.ncd
in honor of the cities, and the
battleships, except the Kersar
ge, in honor of States.
A big battleship has on board
an electric plant capable ol light
