part in the crime as reldted above.
Many persons in the court stood
up to get a view of the prisoner and

the rack. She admitting aiding in
wrapping the lower part of the body.
She was shown photographs of part

The All-Day Missionary Rally.
Some one has aptly described the
All-day Missionary Rally to be held
in the First Baptist Church, Thurs-
ay as "a country association held
in town" and anyone who has en
joyed the hearty welcome, good fel
lowship and hospitality of suoh a
meeting will appreciate the discrip
tion. There will be,however,this differ
ence, that only ladies and children
are invited to attend the day ses
sions, while ladies and gentlemen
alike are asked to to be present at
the Missionary Mass Meeting at
night. Another striking difference
between this and the country asso
ciation and indeed all other mission
ary meetings is that no collection
will be taken. The night session
ill be presided over by Dr. Simms
and addressed by Dr. Carter, Rev.
John E. White and Mr. J. W. Bailey.
Aiftumcnc the Nineteenth.
Senator Daniel of Virginia will be
here again on the 19th instant to
make argument before the railway
commission against the reduction of
railway rates which the commission
lately ordered. As yet there is no
intimation of a transfer tothe federal
courts of this matter. The disposi
tion appears to be to fight it out
before the commission.

Wright's Confession.
Wright made a full confession of
the murder ot Mr. Carr. the country
storekeeper.
This is the statement Wright made
of his crime :
I had been drinking heavily. I
was clerking tbat day for Mr. Carr
and selling wine for him. As soon
as I got my supper 1 went back to
the store. 1 met three men coming
from the store. The store was lock
ed up. I called Mr. Carr. He came
and he was iu his night clothe s. He
had gone to bed. 1 told him I
wanted a pound of cheese, lie got
that for me. I told him I wanted
some wine, and when he went to
draw the wine I struck him .with a
stick I carried with me. I bad no
distinct intention when I went there
except to get his money. .My mind
was unsettled.
When he was stooping down to
draw the wine T struck him with the
stick over the head, and he jumped
up and grabbed me in the collar
with one hand. I tried to get him
loose from me and I could not, and I
ran my hand in my pocket and got
my knife and cut him loose from me
and he fell. He did not strike me
at all. I do Lot know how his linger
was broken. He never hollered or
cried out at all. The men I met did
some shooting. I do not know who
they were. I stepped iulo the bush
es and let them pass by.
"The lamp was kicked over in the
scufile. I commenced hunting fur
his money in his clothes hanging on
the wall. I got his watch out of his
clothes and his pistol off of the bed
and his money from the store. He
had none in his clothers. 1 went on
back home. My clothes were not
very bloody. There was a little
blood on my right hand. 1 did not
have on the vest shown in court at
the time of the murder.
'It was not blood on my shoes I
know that it was pokeberry juice
that 1 got on my shoes and blue
overalls before the murder when 1
was staining a gun-stock. I went
down the side of the branch and hid
the pants iu a stump hole beside the
branch. I threw the kuife away in
a piece of woods . It was an ordina
ry sixed knife with a blade about 2J
inches long.
"I came on to Goldsboro and got
breakfast at a restaurant, i paid 20
cents for two lunches, which was
my breakfast. 1 bought a pint of
whiskey for 25 cents. Another man
got it for me. I bought a 20 cent
bottle of cologne and two cigars, 5
cents each. I went to the postoflice
aud got 2.") cents worth of stamps. I
went to the Centenuial pump to get
a drink of water and saw the chief
and another policeman sitting there
talking. They arrested me.
''They said; "Then we will have
to search you,' and I told them all
right to do that. They asked me if
I had a pistol. I told them I did,
They told me they would like to see
it. I pulled it out of my pocket and
banded it to the ohief. He asked
me if I had another pistol, and I
told him I did I pulled it out of
my pocket and handed it to him. He
then asked me something tbat I did
not understand, and I said, 'sir,'
and he said
Yes, youhave got
