This morning at 1:45 o'clock,, a deso- lute colored woman named Lula Car penter, was found insensible and bleed ing on the belgian blocks, at, the edge of the pavement in front of Adolphua Thomas' bar, in the sNeff building, on Water street, between Market and Dock streets. No one seemed to know how the woman came there, and she was so badly hurt no information could be gotten from her by the police. The woman roomed up stairs with another woman named Carry Styles, and when the officers went up to the room she prlended to be asleep and to know nothing about what ' had happened to the Carpenter woman. ?A man who was in the room ran off and left his hat, but the officers failed to find out his name. It is believed there was foul play. A couple of men state that they heard bottles breaking as if there were row, between 12 and 1 o'clock, and the steps leading up into the Styles wo man's room showed evidence of it, as they were covered with the fragments of beer bottles. The officers arrested Carrie Styles, but she denies having hit the injured woman. Both of them were drinking." There was nothing to indicate that Lula Carpenter fell off the' Veranda. She was badly cut about the head. She was carried up to the room and a physician was sent for. Ed. Graham, colored, of Laurinburg, was later arrested. He was the man who had been in the room with the Styles woman. Carry Styles, when questioned by Officer Kuhl, who was "the officer who knocked on the door. commenced crying when she was asked, about the matter. She stated that when she went to sleep Lula Car penter was lying on the veranda. Take JOHNSON'S CHILL & FE VER TONIC A Card of Thanks. Wilmington, N. C, May 12.

North Carolina, we reei sare in saying, nas never had any thing to equal it. ENTERPRISE WAS COMMENDABLE. Lumberton Robesonian. The Wilmington Messenger deserves special credit for its excellent reports of the proceedings of the Southern Baptists convention.

The en terprise or our contemporary was com-. i "NOTHING EQUAL." Fayetteville Observer. The Wilmington Messenger's ten page editions, which that paper has been issu ing ever since the convening of the Bap- usi convention tnere, are in tne very highest degree creditable to its manage ment as well as to Its editorial and repor torial staff. We believe that, up to this, there has been nothing to equal It in the way of newspaper accomplishment that extenas Deyona one issue. "VERY ATTRACTIVE," Norfolk Pilot, The Wilmington, N. C, Messenger is giving very full and v excellent renorts of the Southern Baptist convention, now in session in that city. Not only are the dally reports fine, but they are accom panied, by personal sketches of members with good portraits, views of churches &c, that make The Messenger very at tractive, and that will cause its- conven tion issues to be highly cherished as per sonal and historical memoirs pour servir and valuable souvenirs. The Messenger Is much enlarged to meet the reauisitions of the convention upon it for space, and Sunday's edition covered twelve of the broad pages characteristic of The Mes senger. ,- The Rev. E.
