WATER RECEDES RAPIDLY, AND 18 NOW WELL IN BANKS " OF CAPE FEAR, The Greataat Damaga Dona la' te . "; , -; ' Cropa, j' The great freshet of the Cape Fear, of 1908, la now a thing of the past, and, tot years to come, or until another tresnet come " surpasses It, It will be an epoch In local history. While considerable suffering follow ed In the wake of the great Hood, there Is not as much as was expected, and the several hundred people, who were forced to leave their homes In the low er part of the city, are being well car ed for, and many of .them have already returned to their homes and are now putting them In order. Though a large number of houses were more or less damaged, only one, so far as we can learn, waa destroyed, and that was a small one-story affair. The people of Campbellton, and those farther up In the city whose houses were flooded, are going about the work behaved splendidly all through laet week, and as ' nsual Faysttevllle emerges from what at one time threat ened to be a great calamity, with smil ing countenance and a brave spirit. The greatest loss Is, of course, by the farmers along the valley of the Cape Fear, and, though It Is impossible to make an estimate with any accu racy, the amount will go considerably beyond one hundred thousand dollars. Some of the prominent farmers re siding within a few miles of Fayette ville; who lost practicality all their crops, were: R. B. Evans, Sidney Mc Danlel, Sidney Smith, D. P. Carter. Mr. Thos. Gibson escaped with a loss of only a few acres. Other farmers, who are heavy losers are: Mr. J. N. Talbot, 40 acres In cot ton, total loss; S. C. Godwin, 60 ac res In cotton, 60 acres In corn, total loss; James Hall, 30 acres of cotton. total loss; John Neill, 25 acres of cot ton, total loss. Mr. N. B. Alexander Is one of the heaviest losers by the flood, his cot ton gin and warehouse, with contents, situated Just across from the Claren don bridge, are damaged thousands -f dollars. The Clarendon bridge stood the great flood, and Is damaged to the ex tent of only a few hundred dollars. The two steel railway bridges, across the Cape Fear, and the county steel bridge, across Lock's Creek, are ap parently uninjured. Most of the bridges in town, and in the county, are more of less damaged, and some of them a total loss. WHAT DO YOU KNOW BLIND TIGERS? ABOUT Deputy 8heriffi Scouring the Town for Young Men to TeJI Grand Jury. Constination reigned in this city yes terday among a large number of young men, when they learned that deputy sheriffs, armed with subpoenas', were out looking f6r them, for the purpose of summoning them to appear before the grand Jury, and tell what they knew of whisky selling In Fayetteville and Cumberland county. Some of the young men at once made themselves scarce, while others, not warned In time, were caught. Fifteen of twenty subpoenas were issued, many of them for prominent men, to appear before the grand Jury on Friday. ' The law, under which this section was taken, is from the Revlsal of 1905, and Is as follows: "Unlawful sale through agenta. If any person shall unlawfully and Ille gally procure and deliver and spiritu ous or malt liquors to another, he shall be deemed and held in law to be the agent of tho person selling said spirit- luous and malt liquors,-, and shall .be guilty ot a misdemeanor and snail oe punished in the discretion of the court. Whenever the solicitor of any judicial district shall have good reason to be lieve that liquor has been manufactur ed or sold contrary to law within any county In their said district and shall believe that any person shall have, knowledge of the existence and estab lishment of any illicit distillery, or that any person has sold liquor Illegally, then It shall he lawful for said solici tor to apply to the clerk of the super ior court ot the county, wherein said offense la supposed to have been committed to Issue subpoenas for the said person eo having knowledge of said offense to appear before the next grand Jury drawn for said county, there to testify upon oath what he may know touching the existence, establishment and "Whereabouts ot eaid distillery or persona who have sold , intoxicating liquors contrary to law, and shall give the names and personal description of the keepers thereof, and such evidence when so obtained, shall be considered and held in law as an Information on oath upon which the grand jury shall make presentment,, as provided by law, in other cases." .. COTTON ITEMS. The break in the dam at Hope Milla No. 2 has been repaired, so that bub bles and wagons can pass over. ; The water in the weave room is about oct? foot 'deep this morning (Aug. 29). Rockflsh, below the dam, seems to be falling quite slowly on account of tho back water from the river. The loss sustained by the Hope Mills Manufac turlng Company at mill no. 2 cannot he properly estimated. We suppose that It will go into the thousands, besides a large number ot laborers will be thrown out of employment for some time. Business Is at a standstill hew now. ' ' - A.

Other Defendanta Convict ed and Sentenced. , Judge Peebles sentenced Herbert Simpson to five years on the roads yesterday afternoon, the jury having found him guilty of carnally knowing an innocent girl Under the age of four teen years. While she was asleep at her grandmother's, where he boarded, the prisoner took advantage ot Melisa Taylor, a; 13-year-old orphan negro girl, placing his hand over her mouth when . she awaked to 'prevent her crying out and threatening to use his pistol if she ever told of the crime. ' J. Sprunt Newtpn,. Esq., his counsel, put bp a stiff fight, but the physician's evidence was too much to overcome. , , " The Khoury Case'.' . The case o( Solomon Khoury, charg ed with burglary in the second degree, and forgery, is now on trial. Khoury's counsel are trying to establish his in sanity. When 'court adjourned for dinner, Q. K. NImocks, Esq., who appears with Mayor Bullard for Solomon Khoury, had finished the direct examinatipn ot Dr. Jennings, a physician o Bishop- vtlle, S. C, who said in answer to u hypothetical question containing the principal points of all the evidence, that In his opinion the prisoner did not know it was wrong to break In the store of his relative and steal. The burglary charge against Khoury was taken up and the prosecution showed that after he had sent his un cles, Joseph and Jacob Zahran, to Cam den, S.. C, by means of a bogus tele gram stating that their sister, Solo mon's mother, was hurt and about to die, he was seen to leave Joseph's store on Lumberton Road about day break the next morning, and about nine o'clock at the National Bank, when he secured currency for 450 pen nies, which Joseph found on his return the next day were missing from his Btore, along with old pass book, can celled checks, and other articles. Sol omon had the book and checks with him at the bank. At the store a win dow had been broken, a door lock re moved and the money drawer rifled. Other circumstances were also shown tending to connect the prisoner with the commission of the crime. When the State rested Its case, the defense Introduced and read In evi dence the deposition of a South Caro lina physician, who testified that de fendant was an imbecile of unsound mind, and that he had treated him for various diseases and a wound in the head. Dr. Jennings had treated him for indigestion also. Assisting the solicitor in the prose cution are Messrs. H. L. Cook and C. G. Rose. The following is the jury In the Khoury case: .John N. Phillips, W. S. Nunnery, W. D. Smith, J. D. Pope, W. J. Robinson, J. J. Beard, H. R. Wade, J. W. Hardison, J. F. Lee, J. B. Fish er, L. B. Vinson, Bunch Newton. The following cases In addition to those already recorded in the Obser ver have been disposed of: Hector Porter, carrying a concealed weapon, fined $20 and costs. Wm. Robinson, larceny, judgment suspended on payment of costs an"d good behavior. A. K. Khoury, assault with a deadly weapon, plead guilty, and judgment suspended on payment of the costs and good behavior. This case was the outcome of the celebrated Syrian bat tle which occurred in the Magistrate's court, during the preliminary trial of Solomon Khoury. Fred Andrews, larceny, verdict guil ty, and sentenced to 12 months on the roads. Henry Alexander, resisting an offi cer, found guilty and sentenced to 12 months on the roads. Mary Helen Peterson, larceny, plead guilty and sentenced to 12 months, with leave to hire out. Simeon McCormick, assault with a deadly weapon,-plead guilty and judg ment suspended on payment of costs. Richard Colvin, larceny, guilty and sentenced to six months on the roads. Thos Smith, assault and battery, de fendant plead guilty and judgment suspend on payment of costs. Khoury Gets Fifteen Years. The jury returned a verdict late yes terday afternoon that Solomon K. Khoury was guilty of burglary in the second degree. The court deferred Judgment until this morning, when he was sentenced to 15 years in the peni tentiary. The statute provides for pun ishment from any number of years to like imprisonment in the discretion of the judge. This was one of the most interesting cases heard here in yea-s. The issue was insanity and the jury found the defendant .to be sane, and .conviction followed as a matter, of course, the facts of the burglary and flight were not contradicted. There is still a charge ot burglary against Khoury. WHIT MONROE ON TRIAL, The trial of Whit Monroe, charged with the murder of Frank Walker in Raeford, began yesterday afternoon. The following jury was selected from the 60 special venire summoned by the Sheriff:. '.'" Jewish Jackson, G. B. Sessoms, D, J. Howell, H. M. Hales, J. R. Mclntyre, J. C. Home, J. T. Allon, J. B. Fisher, D. J. Humphrey, Jno. N. Phillips. F. C Tarboro, L. L. Pate. The examination of witnesses is be ing conducted this afternoon. -' Whit Monroe Gets Twenty Year In . ., Penitentiary. ' The Grand Jury filed into court at 1 o'clock this afternoon, 1 and throifgh their Foreman, Mr. James M. Lamb, stated that they had finished all bu siness before them. They were there upon discharged. Under the sections of the law, giv ing the Grand Jury power to examine witnesses supposed to have knowledge ot whisky selling and gambling, ten or twelve of those whom the subpoena servers were able to find, were ex amined yesterday, but as their testi mony revealed nothing , no Indict ments were found. In connection with the above section, which we have al ready published, we are requested to publish the following in justice to the Solloltor: , - .. i Officer failing to 'discharge duty re moved from office. If any officer men tioned in sections three thousand five hundred and thirty-three and three thousand five, hundred and thirty-four shall fail or refuse to use due diligence in the execution ot the provisions of such sections, after being informed of violation thereof, he shall be guilty of laches In office and such failure be cause for removal therefrom. The special term, which has been held by Judge Peebles, will adjourn this afternoon. Next week the regu lar term of the Superior Court, for the trail of criminal cases, will convene with Judge Biggs presiding. - The trial of Whit Monroe, charged with the murder of Frank Walker near Raeford, which has occupied the at tention of the Superior Court since late Thursday afternoon, came to a close at noon today. At the conclu sion of all the testimony, counsel for the defendant tendered a plea of mur der In the second degree, which was accepted by the State, and after a plea to the mercy of the Court by his counsel, the defendant was given 20 years in the State penitentiary by Judge Peebles, who Is presiding. The evidence developed on the trial tendered to show that Monroe shot Frank Walker three times at the house of Bert Nicholson, on the night of March 28th last, from the effects of which Walker died two weeks lator. Both were rivals for the woman's fa vor, and she seemed to prefer Walk er. They were both at her house the night of the trouble, which began over an orange, and the closing of the door, which Frank wanted opened, and Bert wanted shut, Monroe siding with the woman. There was a conflict of evi dence as to the details of the tragedy, there being no eye witnesses save Monroe and the woman. The defense contended that the shooting was in self-defense, Walker advancing upon Monroe with an open razor, while the State contended that Walker did not open the raior, and kept It In his pocket, and in fact made no attack upon the defendant. There was evidence of murderous; threats made by the defendant against the de ceased, and it also appeared that the two were seemingly on friendly terms on the night of the shooting and at other times when they had visited the Nicholson woman together. A woman two lovers, a razor, a pis tol, a dead negro, and 20 years at hard labor for the slayer the usual result of such a deadly combination. All the parties to the affair were ne groes. The Solicitor prosecuted for the State, while the defendant was rep resented by Chas. G. Rose, Esq., and Q. K. NImocks, Esq. SUPERIOR COURT CONVENES. Judge Blgga Failed to Reach Here To-Day. Sheriff Watson convened the August term of the Superior Court, for the trial of criminal cases this morning, but, as Judge Crawford Biggs failed to appear, he adjourned court for a re cess. Clerk of the Court, Maj. A. A. Mc Kethan, received a telegram from Judge Biggs this morning, stating that he was at Senna yesterday ready to come to Fayetteville, but was unable to reach here from that point, as no trains were running, so he returned to Raleigh, and will reach Fayetteville this (Monday) afternoon. Court will, therefore, not open for business until to-morrow. Whether there will be any necessity for another Grand Jury, has not yet been determined, as the Grand Jury drawn for the special term held last week, pretty thoroughly covered all the cases left over for this term. So If a Grand Jury is found to be unneces sary Fayetteville will witness the spec tacle of a regular term of the court convening and being held without a Grand Jury. All the more important cases were disposed of last week, but there are a great number of cases of minor Im portance to he tried. ECHOES OF THE FLOOD. Things Assuming Normal Conditions. Business has resumed Its normal conditions in this city and section, and those whose homes were flooded in this city are getting their things In order, and the majority whq were forc ed to leave their homes, are now back In them.

"The people of Fayetteville are Ad mirably taking care ot the sufferers within their midst and such is also being done at other points, but there will still, no doubt, be left much to be done; muoh that limited means can' not do.
