Her uncle, George Mills, was arrested, tried, and befoie the jury he confessed, telling the whole story. It showed that he was put up to it pat up to it by the girl's own father. George Mills was sentenced to hang. - vimberly, tbe father, has been tried for murder. Everybody thought he would be conyicted. George Mills is a 8'irpleton and he tf Id r story that a simpleton could not manu facture. Tbe jury said "not guilty" i)d the verdict is not only a surprise to the people but to Wimberly him self. Just how the jury found that verdict puzzles all,who heard the testimony, or read the full account of the News & Observer. No wonder Judge Lynch holds so many courts. KEFoan. The Raleigh News and Obseryer cf Sunday publishes a notable state .jent showing that the name of "re form" the present Legislature has irereased the number of '"laborers" in its employ twenty-one over the number employed by the last Demo cratic Legislature, and that it has two more pages and one more en grossing clerk all footing np an increase in the pay roll of $3,500 for this session, over that of the Legislature of 1893. A brother of Speaker Walser figures as a "laborer' at $2.50 per day, a son of Represent ative Campbell, of Cherokee, is a page, and a son of Representative Cheek, of Orange, is "chief page" an offlca never heard cf before at $2.50 ppr day.
