In spite of bad weather and a cir rus in town, the attendance in the city schools on Thursday was such as to surprise the superintendent and the teachers. There were very few absentees, and the day was nearly a record breaker. In the 3B grade at the primary school, Miss Maude lieatty, the teacher, had every pu pil present throughout the day, and in no grade was the attendance un satisfactory. LAND SALE POSITIONED.

The Kennedy farm is one of the most valuable! properties in this putt of the county. FEW ARRESTS ON CIRCUS DAY.

BAD NEGRO CAPTURED; ESCAPES UNDER FIRE. News was received here today that Amos Wooten, the negro who sever al nights ago attempted to enter the aleepin room of Mr. 0. C. Manning while her husband was away from home, was raptured since the episode la that county, but escaped from sev en am who were guarding him. Mrs. Hanning awoke to discover WooUn, who worked on a neighboring farm, ' climbing: into a window. She cried -out and the negro fled at pa-e' s-by inn t the house. A posse with sev eral bloodhounds followed the man some ttnie. and finally ran him down. J. W. Shores of Kiizabeth City, who wns in charjre of the dogs, had been without food for some time, and gave the negro into the custody of Man ning and cix otherH, while he went to eat. In the absence of Shoreh and the bloodhounds W'ooten made a bfeak for liberty. A fusilade of shots fired after him was uneffective. It was an hour before Shores returned, and with that start Wooten made good his escape. The authorities in Kinston, Greenville and the other cit ies in this section are now on the alert for his apprehension. 47 YEARS OF SUNSHINE NOTED ON OCTOBER 16 Today was the first l5th of Octo ber in forty-seven years on which it has rained.

The day of the nuptials was clear. COUNTY CANDIDATES BRAVE THE ELEMENTS Meeting in Neuse Township Today Roads Bad and the Usual Large Crowd is Not Expected, But Speakers Went. The county Democratic candidates this morning went to Neuse to ad dress the voters of that township at Parrott's schoolhouse. Neuse is one of the most populous precincts in the county, and invariably turns out a strong Democratic vote, but when they left at about 11 o'clock the nomi nees did not anticipate any large gathering to hear them, because ofj me extreme inclemency ana uau con dition of the roads. Representative E. R. Wooten was scheduled for the usual address on the constitutional amendments, on which subject, as a member of the commission which drafted them, he is peculiarly qualified to speak. The interest of the voters in the propos ed amendments is surprising, and Mr. Wooten's exposition of their advan tages proves at each meeting to be the most popular number of the pro gram.
