There are many impirtant oases on

oases. : These oases, U seems, date
back a number of years ago. During
the wsr, many of the slaves from the
Newborn section upon their freedom
joined the Federal army. The wives
of those wbo lost their lives obtained
pensions.; So great was the lust for
government money, that tba wives of
oolored men, other than those who
were lost in oonfliot applied for pen
sions and obtained them. In this
way. it is said; several parties have
obtained neat sums of money. White
men who worked the racket, indi

THE GROUND AFIRE.
The Great Dismal Swamp, Turned

A gentleman, who haa juat eoma
from the far eaatern part of the Stats,
told a reporter laat night an interest
ing story; of the drought.
Soma three vuki ago the trees in
the great Dismal awamp caught fire
from the passing locomotives.. The
awamp ia usually a perfect quacmire,
with the exception of tha roads that
traverse It. Th oose io many plasea
ia as deep aa fifteen ft and the
ground so mushy aa aeareely to allow
a person foothold. Tba xeeaalvely
dry weather, however, haa, absorbed
absolutely every bit of the water -and
left the (rround dry aa finder. - The
lakes aad streams in tha ewanp are
now scarcely mors than Uny , rivulets
or .mud boJes'Tbe ground itself la
not really soil, as the continual drop
ping of leaves has covered .the real
strata to a depth' of anywhere from
eight to twenty feet. Thia "ground,"
dried out, makes the finest possible
fuel for tha flames. . -
The swamp has been steadily burn
ing for three weekaj and it ia likely
that it will continue to born for as
many months. , For ths ground is
afire and bursa with the alow combus
tion of cotton. The fire eats its way
down aad has ; not yet reached any
where near the bottom of the decayed
vegitation. ft - J",
The roada which traveraed tha
swamp are nearly all burned out and

Sheriff Wooten Brings J. N
Benson to the Pen.
LIBERATED BY A MOB.
First Jailed, for Stealing Captured
After IS Months Threats this
. Time to Free Him.,
Sheriff Wooten, ef Bladen county, ar
rived here this morning from Elisa
beth City with three eonvlats. Aa tha
train came la eight of the grim stock'
ada at the penitentiary he breathed
freely for (he first time sinoe the be
ginning of his journey; for he bad
with him a prisoner, J. N. Benson
who had a life history of crime and ar
rest aad escape; and frienda had
threatened to mfcke more history of
the aame sort.
It waa over five years ago tht Ben
son committed the crime of embezzle
ment for which he Is now serving s
term of three years in the penitentiary.
When an aleotion oame and he waa
turned out ef office, it was fonnd that
he was short in his accounts something
like six thousand dollars. He was ar
reated and put In jail.
Just before ths court at whioh he
waa to be tried convened, Benson, who
had many strong friends throughout
the sounty, waa liberated by a mob
Eighteen months later he reappeared
and was rearrested. The legal battle
for liberty waa a strong one and he
was only convicted a tb last term of
Court. Much feeling waa aroused by
tha trial.
When the sheriff was preparing to
leave with hia prisoner, threats were
heard that he would again be taken
from the handa of the law. So the
judge gave an order appointing aix
extra guards to aconmpany the sheriff
and bis prisoner to the railroad, eleven
miles away through a dark swamp; all
were armed to the teeth, but the trip
waa without ittoident.
; The other two prisoners were aent
on for three and five years, for burn
ing and attempt at burning. jEaop
Lewis waa the longer term man, he
having been convicted of burning aa
out house.
A BULL FIGHT IN RALEIGH.
Two Big Bulls Fight a Duel on a
Freight Car.
Saturday night there was a bull
fight in Raleigh. The parties to the
scrap, however, were both bulls and
the toreado waa not in evidence. The
story:
One of the large Northern exhibitors
of cattle to the fair waa shipping his
stock to the Atlanta Exposition. Seve
ral cars were filled- with hia cattle and
hitched to a freight at the Union de
pot. In one of the care were aeveral
eowa and two expensive bulls. The
older and larger of them coet (8,500;
the smaller animal was valued0 at
$1,600.
Soon after the freight started there
wasa commotion. The train waaatopped
and it was found that a regular boll
fight was going on in the car. The
eowa were huddled ia fright ia one
end, while in the middle the two bulls
were fighting aa though to tha death.
Trainmen and the men who ware in
charge of the cattle "struck at the ani
mals with sticks, but they could not
stop ths battls. Finally ttie amtller
bull fell badly wounded. The horna
of tha larger had gored hia atomaoh.
Then the men sneeeded in aubdoing
the victorious combatant The in j nred
animal will recover.
A gentleman who was an eye-witness
says that the fight waa one of the mos'
exciting things he ever, saw. This
gentleman ia a knight of the chicken
pit, bat he Is frank to emit that the
most spirited battle of gaffsdldn't hold
a eaadle, to that exhibition. The
pluck and headlong rush of two per
fectly infuriated bulla is the finest
thing he has aver seen in a sporting

Sella' Enormous Show Will Pitch
Their Tents Here Tomorrow.
Tomorrow is circus day This fact
always creates a ripple of merriment
and a wild form of excitement with
most elasses of people. The show ap
pears in Henderson today, giving
two performances. The two large
trains which carry the enormous oar
avan will arrive in the city early to
morrow morning by the Seaboard
Air Line. The not overlarge number
of early risers in Raleigh will doubt
less be augmented by a considerable
number.
The title of Sells Brothers' enor
mous enterprise is not an empty
name, nor a vain boast Its claim is
just; it is truly "The Big Show of
the World." There is not now, there
never has been, there never can be a
like opportunity of witnessing so
surprisingly great and supereminent
ly attractive an aggregation as Sells
Brothers' enormous united shows in
all its positively undivided and un
diminished excellence, with no feat
or feature, no attraction subtracted,
but on the contrary vastly reinfo ,ced
by ail that is superbly amusing and
instructive. The glorious three-ring
circus presents every act and feature
as represented, embracing all of the
celebrities of thearenio world.
Three hundred startling acts in
three separate rings and two elevated
neatre stages. In the menagerie
fifty mammoth cages filled with rare
wild beasts, every captive animal
known to exist, including the only
pair of trained hi ppopotoml, educated
seals and sea lions, performing ele
phants, stately flock of ostriches,
trained kangaroo, and marvelously
trained wild and domesticated ani
mals.
The gala hippodrome is an Impos
ing and stupendous revival of ancient
Rome's obariot races, donkey races,
pony races, thirty-six-horse riders.
See their elaborate, attractive and
resplendent street parade tomorrow
morning and judge for yourself as to
its magnitude.
