The Chief Will Likely Leave the Train With Mis Han before Reaching the Station to Avoid the Crowd Which Will Collect Fesperman will be Safe. Yesterday afternoon there was a stir In police circles, it being learned that a letter had been received here from Mack Fesperman, the negro who mur dered his wife Tuesday night. The matter was kept quiet, but murder will out. The News reporter got on thtf trail and discovered the following facts: j The credit of catching Fesperman belongs to Policeman M. E. Crowell. Officer Crowell knew that Fesperman had heen living, since leaving his wife, at the house of Fannie Oglesby, corner cf Eighth "and College streets. The thought occurred to him that Fesper man would write to the woman. Yes terday morning he told the mail car rier to look out for a letter for the Oglesby woman; and that if she got a letter of any kind to let him know. "Why, I delivered a letter to her an hour ago," said the carrier, "but I did not notice the postmark." Officer Crow ell at once notified the chief, who told him to go and get the woman and the letter. Officer Crowell demanded the letter from the woman. She denied having gotten one. He told her that he knew she had gotten a letter from Fesperman and if she did not produce it he would put her in jail for trying to conceal the whereabouts of the mur derer.. The woman commsnced crying and begged not to be pot up; said the children had destroyed the letter, btr she would tell him the contents. Fes1-, perman had' written ' that he; was at Kershaw; and for her to send his trunk to his mother, in Paw Creek, and tof write to him under tne namQ.-jat. Jonu Keeler, 'at'1 Kershaw:1 ' !'.

In honor of her being "sweet sixteen" her mother one of the many-ideaed and most charm ing women of the city gave her a birthday dining, which was unrivaled amongst "sweet sixteen" affairs in its elegance and beauty. The table effects were of pink and green. A large pink shaded -banquet; lamp occupied the cen tre of the table, shedding a glow over a ring of smilax in which was set 16 small. pink candles. "At the foot of the table was a silver candalabra holding five pink candles, and at the head, in front of the pretty young hostess, two old-fashioned silver candle sticks, each holding a pink candle. The damask was covered with beautifully-embroi dered pieces, and at each plate was a ricn snow of silver for eight courses.

So it was with the fascinated and fasci nating players this afternoon. Luck came to all in, turn, but to some, more than others. The tinkle of. the silver bell at the head table was never listen ed for more intently. The game was never more enjoyed.

The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Odell Manufacturing Company, of Con cord, was held here yesterday. The meeting was called to order at 4 p. m., by calling Dr. Hogg, of Raleigh, to the chair. The reports of the president and secretary-treasurer were read, making an excellent showing, both as to the physical and financial condition of the plant. The report shows that the plant now stands at $800,000, hence South Carolina cannot claim all of the big mills. . ' The old officers were re-elected. A semi-annual dividend of 5 per cent, was paid. A vote of thanks was tendered the officers for their able management. But what added still more to the pleas ure of receiving the large, dividend was the- unsurpassed , id mher and tea, given by Mrs. J. M. and Mrs. W. JR. Odell, to the visiting stockholders. " The elegant appointments aiioT style of serving the delicious viands; ' the graciousness pi manner and -'genuine -hospitality : ;ot these' ladies were' oajoyedr.as a great privilege by those so' f ortunate as to- be participants. One of - the visiting stockholders, a Baltimorean, did such ample justice to the good things before him that it was suggested by another stockholder that he, the Baltimore gen tleman was evidently trying to se fill the ' inner man, that no room would be left for even a small-pox macrobe to find lodgement in him S.
