"James G. Mehegan and H. Latham, charged with wrecking the Bank of Abbeville, Georgia, are now free men. They will leave this even lng for their homes In Tarboro. Governor Russell returned from Wil- , mlngton this morning. At noon Mehe Ban and Latham entered the executive office accompanied by Sheriff Stal lings, of Edgecombe who had them In company.

"i 'h A YirlnnnorM n'pra rAnrnQantpH at '"cne hearing before the Governor by ineir attorneys, Messrs. uonnel Gil Ham, Henry Gilliam and Joe Martin while Mr. J. C. L. Harris appeared in behalf of Georgia authorities. Mr. Harris laid the application from 'i Gov. Atkinson, of Georgia, for requisi tion before Governor Russell. Three hours were then consumed by the at torneys in going over thematter with the Governor. After going over the case fully and with the greatest care Governor Rus sell announced his decision and dls " missed the application of Governor Atkinson. The Governor gave the attorneys us his reasons: First, in the case of Mehegan there was no specific charge against him. Second, the charges against Mehegan were merely alleged and were not sup ported by sufficient evidence to war rant him in turning the men over to the Georgia authorities. After this announcement hy Gov ernor Russell the attorneys went over to the Supreme court room and saw Associate Justice Walter Clark who Is sued the bench warrant upon which ', Mehegan and Latham were arrested. The warrant was returnable before Justice Clark next Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock. However, when he : .learned of the Governor's decision he promptly dismissed the warrant and ordered that both of thedefendants be released from custody. They left "T Supreme court free men, at least , fce for thepresent. 'Mr. Henry Gilliam said, in speaking ('to a Press-Visitor reporter, that if Horton, the attorney from Georgia had remained here he would have been Indicted for slander Immediately upon their arrival here from Tarboro. He says that everything will be Straightened out at Abbeville. The trouble arose from a letter received In Abbeville from another Georgia bank which caused a run on the Abbeville Bank. Mr. Gilliam says that he will go to Abbeville shortly and settle the af fairs of the bank there. "' Mr. Harris, counsel for the prose cution, acknowledged this afternoon that thecase against Mehegan and Latham was settled for thepresent. He did not say that it would remain set tled, however.

OPD FELLOWS' COLUMN. What They Are Saying and Doing The Grand Secretary returned the first of this week after two weeks among the Lodges on the seacoast Achoree Lorge, No. 14 at Elizabeth City has Just completed a two-story brick building and have it about paid for. The lower floor Is rented for grocery store and the upper Is the Lodge room. They have a member ship of ninety and their attendance regularly is thirty-five to forty. The charter and supplies have been si nt to the District Deputy Grand Mas ter of Rutherford county for the pur pose of instituting a new Lodge in Cleaveland county. They say that Broad River Lodge at Henrietta will carry their goat over to do the grand tournament act. me closing ot the fiscal year on March 30th makes business unusually brisk about the Grand Secretary's of fice. Since his return from visiting the seacoast Lodges he has been engaged almost day and night in going over the books fur the year so as to be able ti furnish the Sovereign Grand Lodge, well as the Grand Lodge of the State, with an elaborate report. He has hail to call In help for a few days In order to get the work up. Is Mr. an Odd Fellow? Vos, he has been an Odd Fellow for some years, but he is not working at the trade now, It seems to us there are several of our members out of this kind of work Just at present. Wo form our opinion from the actions of fie brethren and not what they would say If they were con suited. The work of our fraternity Is a good occupation if It Is followed, but like other trades It is a failure when nut followed. Have the brethren waked up to the fact that the Grand Lodge will be In session here In less than sixty days? l)i- they realize what that means? We ought to be in position to show the brethren from other parts of the State what the true meaning of the Order is y i. tlih!; tin :n set' our beautiful work ami our waim greeting ot" hoMiituliU iis uell ;is t.lir due atiprcciaiion of the oj'-o'taiil event, especially so as rte re to he honored by a visit frinn the eiuily Orand Hiie. The Lodges throughout tin- Slat-' will select their representatives to tile laml Lorlj;e at their Inst meeting in Xpril. Kverybody likes to attend a session nt' the Grand Lodge, of course. :ui'l hence nearly all the Lodges send new representative at each session. This is very pleasant to the brother in one tense, hut ilisi-ouifiiAilo,'" in another. He ic-nlily t-.t-i h how much more pro- nt he could he at another session. lie: how" much better lie could serve the Order, but he knows he lias to give ay to the next in rotation, so gnes Hue with no encouragement to him If or any one else for the future. Many representative's go buck after the sion and never even go to thelt lo li;- i;a!n. In one sense the Lodge is to lame for this, but in the other it is if reoreS"titatle. The Lodge is to nine I'or establishing such a precedent In the first place anil In the second for mling such a man. The interest of e tudor demanils that men who study the nc ils of the order at home be sent the liranil Lodge, and when you get ne there that makes the order a study lives up to Its teachings. Just keep him there, to be some use to It. ven if others, who know little anil care ss, do have to stay at home. A DAINTY BOWER. Prepared for the Pleasure of the Ladles of Raleigh.

Not Yet Realized THE MESSAGE MONDAY Minister Woodford is Miit Viewed to In form This Goveinm nt ' o -cci n ng ihe Movements of the spaniel. Navv Indepen. e ic i Coining By Telegraph to The Press-Visitor. Washington, March 26. Further in formation concerning the report of the Court of Inquiry, before it is submitted to Congress Monday, is not expected However, the publication of the report as cabled to Minister Woodford for Spain will probably be published at Madrid it will be immediately cabled back.

President McKlnley hasheen corre sponding with theSagasta government regarding sonnplfin for self govern ment In Cuba. Llitle Is known of the plan except that It provides for the Independence of Cuba. It Is Irnrned today that the real sig- nllleanee of the report of the Naval Inquiry board has not yet been indi cated. A widely published statement to the effect that the board finds that the explosion was from the outside and that It was caused by setting off some kind of submarine mine is doubt less correct, but this statement only hints at the serious nature of the find ings. The harbor master of Havana testified that the Maine was moved fiim the place where she was fired and anchered to buoy over the spot where the explosion occurred. Whether the miuewas there before the removal Is not stated. This Information comes from a man who knows every word of the report. There is every reason to be lieve that when Congress learns facts It will be Impossible to restrain the Houses. MARIX WITH CABINET. y Telegraph to The Press-Visitor. Washington. March 26.

The ball entered the woman's body at a point below the heart. The wound bled profusely. It is not thought that it will result fatally, though it Is of a serious character. "Sonny,." as the boy is nick-named, was on a visit to his aunt. He had an old pistol, with which he was fumb ling, while running on a conversation with his aunt. "Sonny" was Joking and "running on," us his aunt termed it after the shooting occurred. "I told him to quit his foolishness and he said, 'Mind how you talk to me, or I'll shoot you.' I never thought anything of it, and he pointed the pistol at me and it went off." The woman does not think her nephew shot her purposely. She thinks that. the pistol discharged accidentally and that "Sonny" thoughtlessly aimed it at her. The Bhooting occurred about 5 o'clock. "Sonny" Fowler fled as soon as he shut his aunt. He threw the pistol down on the floor, taking Texas leave. The Grey woman, who Is about 45 years ot age, was resting well last night. FUNERAL. Yesterday afternoon Rev. A. L.
