Nov. 4. save: News has just reached here of the killing by a posBe of an unknown negro at Tiger Bay, a phosphato mining camp in this county. The information is meager, and none of the names can be ascertained tonight. The negro offered an insult to a young married woman, but was frightened away. He was fol lowed by several men who had assem bled during the alarm, and it is said he was chased into a swamp and shot sev eral times by members of the posse. At Newport News, Va., Saturday, the Eastman building and department house, occupied by a number cf families; was gutted by fire. The loss is 120,000 Only the hardest kind of work on the part of the firemen prevented the de struction of an entire business block and a loss ten times as great. They suc ceeded in confining the fames within the 12 inch walls of the Eastman structure, ' where it raged like a mammoth furnace. There was no loss of life, thanks to the bravery of both firemen and citizens. many of whom risked their lives on the third and fourth flats to save women and children when the fije was upon them. Mrs. Harry Gordon, of Baltimore, wife of the assistant treasurer of the Academy of Music, had a narrow escape from be ing burned to death. Topic Hl Last Cent For a Drink. The old soak, In bis tattered, patched oat, shuffled op to tho bar, where he had drained off so many drinks, and looked wistfully at the bottles of red liquor in a row about two arms' length away. "Say, Jim, old boy," he said to the bartender in the most winning tones he could muster, "you wouldn't take a man's last cept fer a drink, would ye?" "You bet your life I would!" snapped Jim, with the viclbusness of 'a steel trap. Jim suspected an effort to get a drink on tick and proposed to forestall It "Well, I s'pose I got to have her, so set her out," and the soak heaved up a great sigh that shook his frame with emotion. ','' Jim heaved a much lighter weight Blgh on discovering that the drink was to be paid for. He set out the, bottle of the roughest goods he had in the house. The unwelcome customer poured - oui four fingers and drank It down with evident relish. Wiping his mouth on bis , coat sleeve, he reached into ' his pocket, and, pulling out one old, tar nished cent that he had found on the sidewalk, he slapped it on the counter. "There you are, iJim!" he gurgled. "Whafs this?" : yelled Jim in .loud, strident tones. ' , . - - "You said you'd take me last cent for a drink, and there It is." " ' Jim reached under the bar for a base ball bat which ho always had on tap, but before he could get it out the artful soak- had ' disappeared r through the front door. Chicago Chronicle.

An employee of the Chicago Tribune once found the fact that his face was familiar to the late Joseph Medill de cidedly to his advantage. In the last years of tls life Mr. Medill did not spend much time in Chicago and took no active part in the management of his paper, but when he was in the city he went to his office pretty regularly. He knew all the old faces, but few of the new ones, and it was too late in life for him to accustom himself to them. He never knew to whom to give "copy" that he wished printed if the managing editor happened to be absent. On one occasion he banded some to a repre sentative of another paper who chanc ed to be in the building. The man had been employed on The Tribune some years previously, so his face was fa miliar to Mr. Medill, while the faces of the men then actually in his employ were not. One day he suddenly inquired what had become of the old night editor. "He's In Boston," was the reply. "Well, I want him," said Mr. Medill. It was explained thnt the man had an excellent place In Boston and proba bly would not care to come back, but Mr. Medill persisted that he wanted him. "I know him," he said, "and I want a familiar face in that room. I want some one who Isn't a stranger to "me. Telegraph him that Medill wants him." So the man with "the old familiar face," although4ie was not an old man by any means, went back to The Tribune-on lf?s own terms. Youth's Com panion. A Glimpse of the Japanese. Mrs. Hugh Fraser, the author, wid ow of an English diplomat and sister of Marion Crawford, says of her life In Japan, to which her husband was minister from Great Britain: The absence of snobbishness and kin dred vices in Japan Impresses itself very cleanly upon one. There are two characteristics of the Japanese which stand out very boldly. Home life- Is paramount, and the possession of .money- Is but lightly regarded. Any one who would pretend to be richer than he Is would be calmly avoided as a fool. Money Is Hot spoken of, the ab sence of It Is not apologized for. A -person livini in a poor way gives a guest all he has to offer and Is not hu mlliated at having to show his pover ty. The rich man does not overwhelm you with- his riches. He shows you one beautiful object from his collection at a time in an empty room, only beau tlful through its perfect proportions, coloring and cleanliness. These people travel through life so lightly weighted. their requirements are so few in the material order, that they seem as inde pendent as the swallows and fly where we, weighted down by the commissariat for our artificial wants, can only creep. But they hold invisible things very pre cious Honor and self respect, the love of their children, the harmony of the family, the privileges of patriotism, the commonwealth of learning, these are thlnes for which they will sacrifice much. Tennyson and Slahtaeera. Tennyson's well known aversion to sightseers and their ways gave rise to many an odd experience. Once, it is said, he complained to Queen Victoria, saying that he could no longer stay in the Isle of Wight owing to the tourists wno came to stare at mm. , , The queen, with a kindly irony, said that she herself did not Buffer much from that grievance. But Tennyson, taking her literally, replied in the same strain.;, v ' ; , "No, madam," said he, "and if I could clap a sentinel wherever 1 liked I should not be troubled either."

Among the various new and interest ing attractions booked for this fair, the most prominent will likely prove to be the Olivers Swiss Bell Ringers, whist lers, singers and dancers, grotesque acro bats and clowns, consisting of a splendid, up-to-date repertoire in vaudeville. The company is made up of six men and two lady artists.' lbey will occupy the old theatre building, and prove themselves the best attraction ever under its roof. Adjoining the theatre building a new and startling illusion will be prescribed for the first time in this State. Badger's animal show is indeed a splen did menagerie, occupying a large tent 75x100 feet, and nicely and comfortably equipped with seats. The performance is made by trick animals, lions leopards, tigers, elephants, monkeys and other savage beasts. Besides these wild types of the jungle, there are Arabian horses, camels, zebras and snakes. The animals are highly trained and the, show comes to us highly endorsed as p, stellar at traction. A "wild boy" from the Pbjfippmes will make his debut to the people of this sec tion. He is said to be closely related to Aguinaldo. It is believed that the "wild boy" will not be lonesome while in New bern. . ' A high grade vaudeville company of New York and Parisian artists will give regular performances. The pro gram embraces many novelties too numerous to mention. ? The "Working World" the only one that is complete, up-to-date and full of activity will be one of the attractions on the ground. This year the outfi t is en larged and improved. An orchestra of five instruments two violins, a violincello, cornet and piano will also be a ground attraction. This orchestra has never failed to create the greatest excitement wherever it has played, for it is made up of one lone man who, by some miraculous dexterity, is enabled to play at one time .upon all of the instruments enumerated : above, and that too, in excellent, style. The "One Man Band1' is truly a novelty. Prof. Mc- Rae is he. s$ . - ' Those who visited-'the iialeiah .fab came home with glowing accounts of the wonderful trained horse "Kose," and urged Secretary Green by all means to secure the animal for our great fair. One gentleman stated that it was in truth a great entertainment, the horse doing cer tain difficult feats which must have ex ercised his intelligence exactly' as though it were a human being. "Rose" is the most valuable trick horse in the world, her owner having refused to sell her to a great circus for $20,000. It would take a column of this valuable space in which to give yon a fair idea of her ac compusnments. it must suffice to say that all lovers of intelligent horses will be captivated by her charming talents. The largest portable ferris wheel in the world will be in constant operation, and the brave ana the fair will be afforded an opportunity of visiting the clouds with out effort or danger. It will be the first big ferris wheel ever seen in this State, and comes here direct from Atlanta. It would be cruel not to mention the merry-go-round, although it - Is never at a loss to speak or squeak for itself. As usual, It will add its quota to the fun and pleasure, and make everybody glad that he is alive. Besides these shows, there are - many other smaller affairs run, by one. or two individuals to a tent, that will dot the grounds'' generously. There will be whistle men. balloon men and men with all kinds of new devices and novelties for sale.

In Kinston township at 3:30 this after noon Simmons bad 175 and Carr Gl votes in No. i precinct, and Simmons 167 and Carr 50 in No. 2 precinct. We are unable to give any idea of the votes on tho presidential and congressional tickets. In Woodington township Simmons re ceived 108 and Carr 8. In Falling Creek up to late hour Sim mons had 50 and Carr 11. We believe that Carr's vote in Kinston will be less than 150 and not over250 or 300 in the county. LaGrange Gives Simmons 108 Majority. LaGrange, N. C, Nov. 6, 3 p. m. Sim mons 208, Carr 10. Republicans win by ejuall majorky. White Hall gives Simmons 80, Carr 5, and 40 to 50 Democratic majority. Greene County" Heavily For Sim mons. We learned by telephone thiH afternoon that Greene county would give a good majority for Simmons. At Snow Hill, out of 112 or 115 votes Calr receives only 16; at Lizzie 78 votes have been cast for Simmons, 10 for Carr. Simmons is in a good lead atHookerton. This was the brag Carr precinct of the county. i Sheriff Edwards says the above figures about represent the vote of Greene. Maae It Fit the Xame. "Red Rock, N. Y.," said a man who 6pent some time there, "isn't much of a, place, but there Is something inter esting about it that I fancy all the world doesn't know. The present name is not the one It has always borne, and what its other name was I don't know. Whatever it was the people did not like it and concluded they would change It. There was no particular reason why they should call It Red Rock, but that was determined upon, and so Red Rock it became! ""Then ia the course of time strangers of an inquiring turn of mind began to ask why the place had such a name, and as no reason could be given new comers to the neighborhood began to want a name that meant something. This Insistence grew so strong that the old residents began to look around for a reason for the name of their place, and at last they found a huge bowlder near by which they said was what had suggested the name. But the bowlder was gray instead of red, and the pro gressists insisted that that would not do. At last the old timers hit upon a new plan, and, procuring a barrel of red paint, they painted the big rockvred. Red Rock indeed it was now, and not only was all opposition to the name overepme, but the painting of the rock every spring has become an annual j festival, and the people celebrate it with a big picnic and general celebra tion. "It was a new idea to me, and if there Is any other town anywhere on earth that; . is christened every spring with red paint or any other color I don't know where it is." New York Sun.
