The most interesting, as well as a very material fact, in the Haywood; ease, was developed yesterday mora-', lng while the last witness for the State,' Mr. Jones Fuller, of Durham, was. on the stand. It is that Miss Mattye Pace, of this city, witnessed all that took place .between Ernest Hay wod and Lud low Skinner on that fatal afternoon of, the 21st of February, in front of the postofflce, says she saw an angry con versation, a blow struck by Skinner, and Hay wyod fire twice. Miss Pace was at the window on the third floor of the Yarborough House, over the main entrance, conversing with Mr. Fuller, who was a step or two back from the window. She told Mr, Fuller she saw Ernest Haywood and Ludlow Skinner standing close to the bottom, of . the southern steps of the postofflce, engaged In what seemed to be a very heated conversation. Mr. Haywood was apparently impressing something upon Mr. Skinner, for he was tapping mm on tne oreast wiin his forefinger as though emphasizing his remarks. In a minute Skinner Struck JEIaywood on the chin, as she1 Ithoughr, and she exclaimed : 'There's a fight," or "There's going to be aj fight," or "There are two men quar reling," or something to that effect, and in a second, "He's going to shoot him," This brought Mr. Fuller to the window, and as he looked he saw Mr. Haywood fire the first shot at Mr. Skinner, who was leaving Mr. Hay wood, with his back toward him, as it seemed to Mr, Fuller. Then Mr. Skin ner turned and went diagonally north east and Mr; Haywood fired again. Mr, Skinner then threw both bands to his left side, circled ah4,ffeU-vfi car track. That is In substance what Miss Pace and Mr. Fuller saw, as stated yesterday on the stand , by Mr..

Hon. uohn A, Oates, of The North Carolina Baptist, 8peaks on the Dis pensary to a Large Audience. Yesterday afternoon the opera house was filled with an audience that had assembled to hear the first gun In the dispensary campaign. The speaker was Hon. John A. Oates, of Fayette vllle. The meeting was oalled to order by Mr. S. H. Abbott, chairman of the committee on speakers of the Anti Saloon League. A select choir enter tained the audience with several choice selections, after which Mayor N. J. Rouse arose to introduce the speaker of the occasion. The mayor spoke very forcibly bis convictions on ne temperance ques tion. He said that he is a straight out prohibitionist, but after careful consideration of the dispensary prop osition, he has come to the conclusion that he cannot afford to do otherwise than support it. All good citizens were asked to rally to the support of the city administration in securing a reform In dealing with the liquor traffic The mayor then introduced Editor Oates, who held the attention of the audience with strong argument and apt illustrations for over an hour. The speaker undertook io prove that the liquor traffice is not beneficial to town either religiously, politically socially or industrially, and the audi enee seemed tr nyw that h made out a good case. Mr. Oates came to us tired from much campaigning in the temperance movement that is new being pushed throughout the State. " He spoke earn estly and withenthusiasm. His words , will have much weight with his hearers. A CHURCH TRUST. Ths Churches of Lincoln, Neb., Com bine to Raise Salaries. Lincoln. Neb.. Special to Washington Post. The pastors ' of the . large Lincoln churches have signed an ironclad agreement intended to drive out the small churches and return greater revenues to i the. f larger, the ' longer estabHshedfhOiwyoi wowhipThe agreement is aimed at the exclusion of several projected new parishes. The Lincoln ministers take The stand that the field is already crowded. . One of tbe ministers admits frankly that the organization has all the fea tures and aims of the big trusts incorV porated under the New Jersey laws. "Too many ministers atffi working for small salaries," he declfed. jCpntl ffrearauons are too small. Tne salaries of the best ministers are tooimaiir . A remedy is the abolition of the small churches, and congregations. Bring congregations - together. - unite ; the churches. Contributions resulting will enable ministers to be paid better sal laries, r and religion will advance in consequence. Our plan is to allot ter ritory to each church and consider that the work of the church shall be within the confines settled upon. Not a minister in Lincoln doubts that the plan will succeed." $5,000 FOR PEACH SEEDS. A New Source of Revenue for Meek lenburg County Farmers. Charlotte Observer. ? It will surprise some people to learn that the farmers and. fruit-growers in the upper part of Mecklenburg county, have sold hundreds of bushels of peach seeds this summer and that they real ized from that source over t2,000. Be sides in that section large amounts of seed were sold at Huntersville and in other parts of the county, and it Is probable that the . farmers of the en tire county received nearly $5,000 this year for peach seeds, an unknown source of revenue heretofore. The seeds are used for various pur poses.- A great part of almond extract ia made from peach kernels, and al mond candy is almost invariably fla vored with peach kernel extract. But besides these uses many of the seeds from the finer peaches are sold to nur series and hundreds of bushels are sent annually to Japan, where they are planted and tbe trees used for fuel. ; The price of seed in this county at the first of the season was 75 cents per bushel, but later the price advanced to L25.
