The statement was made by the mother that the girl would " have gone on the-stand and ; testified ? to this effect had It not been that sha was sick at the time of the trial and could not era to the court bouse. Speaking of pardons In general, the governor said that be wants it distinctly understood that the reason he requires all applicants L Z paper where the applicant for the pardon was convicted,ils la order that any who object to such a pardon may coma for wurA and tate-their objections. When m atrollcatlon has been duly advertised (and very one considered by : the gov rnor is neeeesarily so advertised), and ao objections are filed, the governor naturally takes it for granted that there 1e ao 'Objection In the county to the granting df such a pardon. - 'TarUe of Ora.. Greensboro Record: Mr. Isaac Pros- er, of the Empire Steel and Iron com nanv. this mornuur -.was exhibiting curiosity found at ths ore mine at Wll- aon Jllllsa turtle of Iron ore about as perfect as It ' could be made. It was fmind amona the ore being taken otrt and It is Mr. Pressor's Idea that a reaii nrtla at nme time or other had beeBOsed as a mould, the ore being : melted And oonred into it - The only defect la it is the tall of the "varmint," whicble rather out of: joint. Otherwise it Is perfect. Mr. Andrew Joyner, a geological authority, ays this is evidently - a petrifled .ub- " stance and tells of a discovery made out in the great petrified section of Arizona, where a friend of his went before the : Mtnntr was settled.' and discovered a whole forest of Betrifled trees, on the branches of which" were petrified birds, singing petrified songs. : . i ' -i' , Nerro Mnrder His 'Wtf. . f 4Sreensboro,8ept. 15.-reen McAdoo, a Greensboro negro, cook and caterer, : who has been in Durham sbveral weeks : nnrauincr his avocation there, took a little trip home Saturday night, took some extra booze aboard, and wound up the week by killing his wife with a ptetol In fifteen minutes after he reached home. ; Oa bis arrival there he told his wife she had toco with him to - West Tirglnla this veek. where he had made a bargain to go, and they would make big money, Rh rfAnUred she was not going to leave Greensboro tor anywhere Green then ani.1 aha had to iro with him or he'd hln hut brains out.

Elisabeth City, Eet. 15. Johnson Ward and Mack Harper, negroes and a whits man named Toung, broke jail last night and all-day search has accomplished nothing la the; way. of detecting their whereabouts. 8trange to say, Toung was confined In the same cell with Wil cox, yet claims to know nothing of how and when he made his escape; This delivery Is attributed to the carelessness of the Jailer, as the door of the combiua tion lock was left open, leaving the levers wbioh control the opening and closing of the doors within reach of the prisoners. Much racitemeut is created and universal query Is: "Is Wilcox bid ing his time?" This is the second Jail! delivery within week and many are maniteetlng much Indignation.

Sines March of this year ths turkey has laid one hundred and four eggs. A peculiarity about the I bird is she will not "set," but -after the bens hatch out the young "barks", she proceeds to take charge of tbelrjrearinff, leaving them only long enough to add another to the already large number of eggslaid. s .

They are employed In break ing stone that will be used later In im proving . two of the most Important Highways In the county. The effect on the convicts has lecQ beneficial. A number of men who en tered the penitentiary In" a weakened condition from excessive drinking be fore they left the institution , were Strong and healthy and able to do a hard day's work. Several have re formed and are now working steadily; earning good wages at other kinds of manual labor. The enforced work re quired of them was lust what they needed to build up their constitutions and develop their enfeebled will pow er. .:,..;-"s..v;;;-.i': . ; :.:i ; Another good effect of the plan Is the. decrease in the number of tramps. or "hoboes, found in Buffalo's streets. The tramps have, learned of the work and are giving Buffalo a wide berth. In consequence most of the prisoners are actual residents of , Buffalo. Be cause of this the supervisors required that the men should not be forced to work in prison garb. Each prisoner Is attired in blue overalls and a Jumper. so that a casual observer is not aware that prisoners and not free men are breaking the stone. v . We Remember.1 .
