TRIAL OF CAESARIO,'
THE ASSASSIN of president carnot
BEINO QUESTIONED IS REMARKABLE
INDIFFERENT.
Lyons, August 2. The trial of San-,
to Caesario for the tnurderpf President
Carnot began to day. He is a mild
faced, common-place youth. Hiscorii
plexloD is fair, and there Is a faint sus
picion of down upon his upper. lip
Altogether his appearance is effeminate
aad the remark of one of the specta
tors that he "'looks al though he would
not really hurt a fly"; pretty accurately
describes him.
The pri&o ler had hardly taken his
seat when Judge Breuillic told him to
stand up. As he obeyed he bowed and
smiled again, and it seemed difficult to
realize that such a mild-mannered boy
was the assassin of the Chief Magis
trate of the French Republic.
After the opening formalities of the
trial, Including the appointment of an
interpreter, the prisoner was q lestion
ed by the: Judge. II is Christian name,
he said, was Santo GeronimorHe wa
born in November, 1873, and his father
was a ferryman. Coming to the ques
tion of the prisoner's responsibility, the
Judge said:- (Mt is an important point
whether rpu are responsible or not."
Caesario responded in a firm voice.
"Yes sir 1 1 am absolutely responsible.
Later the Judge said ; "Your moth
er worshipped you, and gave you all
the advantages she possibly could. She
sent you to school, where you never
won a prize.1'
i'Nev('," answered Caesario, laughs
tag. I ,
The indifference et the prisoner excited
surprise! on all sides. Nothing to
equal it ;.had ever been seen here. In
reference to his having been sent to
school, he added: If I had been a bet
ter scholar I should have been a better
man." I.- - 1
A fev minutes later, being asked
about hip childhood days, when he re
presented John the Baptist in chnrch
processions, he said. "I was a child
then, and children, you know, unwit
tingly act stupidly.": ,
HUUANTY GREATER THAN FAMILY
The Jdge then discussed Caesario's
presence at the revolutionaty lectures
of Signojr Gori. a lawyer in Milan, in
spite of the expostulations of his fam
ily," 1:
Askedjwhether he did act'as a cour-
'inp hAf"nrAan A nornKinta vf ITrana Q n1
Italian Journals, he answered: " "The

' nething to say, more than that they

ILiie police; inxeu uie wiun vaiiyiug
communications between Anarchists
ystematically." The prisoner denied
knowing a single-Anarchist.
Judge Breuillac: Coming to Lyons
you stopped at Vienna and went to an
Anarchistibarber s.
Caesario I naturally went to a barber,
could not get my haircut at a baker's.
Laughter!)
The Jud2e: A deputation oi L-yon-
naise ; Anarchists visited you as a per
sonage of flmportance while you were
11 in the hospital at Uette.
Caesario: A friend from Lyons visit
ed me, anc he had some of his friends
with him, put they brought me noths
ing? I
Judge: What, brought you nothing?
Did not they bring you those ? pro
ducing photographs of Ravachol and
the Chicago Anarchists.
no, repuea uaesano.
"At any rate, they were similar to
these," retorted the Judge.
"Now you are right," admitted the
prisoner. 1
Throughout the prisoner deienaed
himself against accusations of connec
tion with Anarchists with rare sk'll,
righting the ground inch by inch".
THE BLOOD STAINED DAGGER.
There was a profound sensation in
thd court room when Assistant-Regis
trar Melthujr removed the covering
from a dagger, and handed it to the
Judge. Thel weapon waa still stained
with the bloqd 01 tne muraerea t resi-
deHt, and as the Magistrate held it up,a
thrill of horror ran tarouga the ajsems
blage: 1
Is
the
one
you Brougnt
from
Cette ?" asked the Judge.
"Yes.' replied Caesario, unflinching
ly, as be nodded toward the still blocdy
dagKer- . . . .. ' .
Through the interpreter caesario min
utely detailed hi-journey fiom Cette
to Lyons, the . jury following him at
tentively as be narrated hi3 peregrina
tions in L.yens untu ne arnvea outside
the Credit Lyonnalse. Here the prison
er, with brutal coldness, described his
later movements as louows. "wnea 1
saw M. Carnot's carriage arriving I un
sheathed my dagger. I ran lor him
and planted the dagger, turned, and
withdrew, when I waa struck dn.
M. Carnot looked me straight in the
eyes." .
J ud? : Did you not naye some sen
salion of the enormity of your act when
vou saw the eves .of your victim fixed
upon your Mas not me memory
ron bleu vou since r
"Ne I have felt nothing whatever."
The brutal cynicism of the prisoner
caused a movement of repulsion In the
court-room. I
Cotninz to the question 01 premedita
tion, Caesario readily admitted that the
Anarchist was the enemy ol ail cnieis
of State, and also that the purchase 01
the dagger was a further indication of
premeditation, i,
Th Judge: How long had you medi
tated the crime?'?
Caesario (impudently): ion 11 ana
that in the prosecution papers.
The Judge then read a number of in
flammatory statements attributed, to
raA.ra. and said: "You declare that
if yoa returned to Italy you would kill
Kth the Klne arid the Pope."
Caesario: That is impossible. The
Pope and the King are never together.
Therefore, I could not kill both."
He also denied that the crime was the
result of a plot in which the assassin
was designated by lot. Tho Judge
asked Caesario if in case be had not
killed the President in Lyons, be would
have tried to do so elsewhere in Paris
for instance. The prisoner answered
that if he Lad not succeeded be would
have tried to fiod work.
Judge Breuillac: Should you have
followed and sought to kill elsewhere?
Caesario: Perhaps, if an opportunity
occurred.
A number of witnesses testified to
the details of the crime and the identi
fication of the prisocer. Among those
the bootmaker, Domergue, who caught
Caesario as he was fleeing after strik
ing the fatal blow, related the circum
stances. Caesario contradicted Do
mergue, saying: "Your are not the first
man who seized m; it was somebody
else. You ate c' aiming glory that you
did not earn."
Incidentally Caesario expressed re
gret that he had thrown his dagger
away, a3 had he retakied it lie would
have stabbed Domergue or any one
else who attempted to stop him. At
this Domergue, whose face had been
almost crlnison, turned white.
During a short recess Debruille, the
prisoner's council, expressed astonish
ment at his client's coolness, and
asserted his intention to set up a plea
of insanity, basing it upon the prison
er's actions and Upon hereditary epilep
tic tendencies.
Dr. Poncet the physician who att
tended Carnot after be was wounded,
gave a long and detailed description of
Ca mot's injuries. While be was doing
this the "prisoner sat with an expression
of mute elation, drinking every word
with the ayidity of a student thirsting
for knowledge.
Lyons, August 3 When the ar
guments bad concluded the court gave
the questions to the Jury: Did the
prisoner, Santo Ceasiro, assassinate
President Carnot; and was the crime
premeditated?" The jury retired at
12:05 and was absent thirteen minutes.
They returned to court and presented
an affirmative answer to both ques
tions. C,easariro,wno had been in the mean
time removed from the courtroom, was
brought back and the jury's declara
tion was read to him by the registrar".
At the announcement of the verdict the
supercilious grin, which Ceasario has
worn most of the time during the trial,
disappeared like magic, and His face
blanched.
Attorney General Folchier demanded
the immediate imposition of the death
penalty.
There was silence for a moment, and
then the Judge in solemn tone, but
with a touch of harshness, pronounced
the sentence that the prisoner be put
to deth by the guillotine. As the
sound of the judge's voice ceased,
Ceasariro pulled himself together for a
m . ent he v. ,s alar ost limp and in a
feeble voice exclaimed: "Vive la revo
lution." The gen d'armes seized the on
demned assassin, and as they hurried
him out of the room on the way to his
cell, he did not forget to shout, in a
voice somewhat stronger than his last
utterances, the meaningless words em
ployed by all anarchists convicted of
capital crimes: "Courage, comrades,
vive la anchie."

STATE EDUCATION.
Facts and Figures by President Mclver
of
the Normal anainausinaiocuooi.
In a rect lecture before the Summer
School for teachers At Chapel Hill, Dr.
Cbarle3 Mclver presented the follow
ing facts and figures relating to public
education in North Carolina:
There are 370,000 children ot school
age in the State,, of whom only 35,000
are in private schools, leaving 335,000
to be educated in pablic schools. Nine
children out of every ten in North
Carolina have no chance lor education,
except in schools supportea oy the
State. . ....
The public school mna ior lower
schools comes from poll taxes, fines,
forfeitures and penalties, liquor license,
and a school tax of 16 cents on $100 of
listed property. All tne poll tax is ie
quired by the .Constitution to go to
public scnoeis, . exocpu u goww
support the poor, which cannot exceed
the fourth. A man who pays only
pell tax. is taxed only for common
schools and the poor. He pays noth
ing to higher, education.
Public nlgoer education in aonn
Carolina is aided from tne general
1'ir-d. The annua! appropriations are:
University, $20,000; Normal and In
dustrial, '.2,030; Agricultural and Me
chanical, $10,000; Cullowhee Normal,
$1,500. Total, $43 500. This sum comes
from the general lunu, ana is nos taxes
from the school fund. It could not be
added to. the school fund unless by an
act of Legislature. Its addition to the
common school fund would not add
four dtys to the length.ot the common
school terms.

THE FUTURE OF COITON.
Atlanta Constitution.
It is possible that in the near faturt
southern cotton planters will have verj
formidable competition.
Cotton is produced in South America
Mexico, China, India Egypt and In
some of the Russian territories.. L.
S gypt it Is cultivated along the Nil.
and in the delta in the riauest soil ii
the world. The yield is constantly in
creasing and the cotton commands t
ready market at 2 cents a pound more
than American cotton. It 13 of such
fine quality that the New England
manufacturers import a good deal of it.
Consul General Penfield, at Cairo, fur
nishes the following table showing the
increase of the Egyptian cotton crop
during th past ten years and the
growth of exportationa to. the United
States:

The commercial depression causes a
temporary falling off in shipments, but
this number is estimated bv rood
udges. '
An Interestlg f act ia this connection
stated byl Mr. D? A. Tompkins, a
is
prominent cotton manufacturer 6f
Charlotte, N. C. He says that tho
improvement in the cotton production
in Egypt is largely due to the efforts of
the ex-confederate officers who took
military commands under the khedive.
These officers imported into Egypt a
quantity ol bur sea island. cotton seed
and the result was shown iu the pro
duction of the fine staple now exported
from that country. . ,
Last year 2 per cent of the cotton
consumed in the United Spates was im
ported irom iugypt. Perhaps the sta
ple will be improved and the yield in-J
creased in other countries, and in that
event our foreign competition will be a
serious matter. It is Mr. Tompkins'
idea that if the south is to continue to
hold the markets she must make better
and cheaper cotton and put It ..up in
the best possible shape. He gay t!.i
our cotton before the war was a boiler
article, because the seed cut to u wa
stored and picked aad ginned at leisure,
whereas it is now ginned immediately
arteritis picked. On this point be
says:
it is believed that storing before gin
ning gave time for the fiber to absorb
ust a little oil from the seed, which
gave it some of that brown color and
llky luster peculiar, now to the Egyp
tian cotton. Prior to the war, too, cot
ton was ginned by mule power, a much
slower process than that now in use, so
uit tiiu fiber was Ilu cut tiuu it now
is by the steam gins.
1 lie color and luster gained by the
fiber from the oil in the seed while in
storage are not the only advantages
gained. The dry and cut cotton as it is
now ginned easily generates electricity
thus charging each fiber so that it tends
to stand oa end. This tendency in
dome cotton has been found to be so
great as almost to prevent ,itw use for
spinning. The Egyptian cotton ie said
to be better li this respect,and It 13
thought a great improvement could be
made in the American staple by hold
ing the seed cotton In storage from one
to three months and then ginning it
carefully. It is probable that by these
means our improved upland staples
can be made to serve all purposes as
well as the Egyptian -cotton, and thus
the south may get hack some valuable
trade lost la the markets both of this
coiintry and abroad.
we are in no danger whatever II we
will look after our interests In time.
We must Improve our staple and our
methods, and manufacture our cotton
right here in sight of the fields. But if
we are negligent it Is more than likely
that the foreign article will soon- be a
dangerous competitor.

SOITTUKRN EXPORTS
Atlanta Journal.
Thel
Journ! bai frequently called
it tent
.vu kuo k-reaii increase in the
uoauraa 01 ooumern ports, even In this
time ql commercial depression.
The; bureau of statistics has just is
sued a report which shows how remark
able this Increase has been. The total
etxports from the Uuited States during
tue eleven months ended May 31. 1894
wa $S34,tW,000 against $782,000,000
for the like period in the preceding
year, n increase of $32,000,000. The
exports from Southern port3 were
$285,700,000, or $27,600,000 more than
m the eleven months ended May 31
1893. It will thus bo seen that nor
than half the Increase of the
total eiports went from the pcrU of
the South. ! .

ISO; GalvfrtoQ, $34.9S5,Q0; New' Or

Kicl.raorid $3,963,000; Mavaunith $t -SU
,000,000; Wjlrohigtori, v(.!)aj,(00.
I hese totals, as respects some of these
port!!, arj; fcurrising. The rates of in
crease over last year are alieo surprising.
lUltioiort'a Increase was $7,400,000
that of .Savannah, $3,900,000; of New
port NfcwK $6,000,000; of New Orleans,
$5,100 000; of Charleston,: $000,0 ;o.
.There jire many reasoi.s for the in
crease of business at the South rn ports
The resources of this fection are being
ievelopedi more rap!dly than those of
iny other part of the .country and with
gcncrni tevival of business the South
is sure toj enter upon the greatest
perl h! of prosperity it has ever known.
The Baltimore Sun gives another
food reason for the increased exportJ
of the South when it says:
"The peace and order of the south,
together wEth its steady Industry, give
its future a brighter looTc than can be
id to characterize the prospects of
some other parts of the Union. Its
people have! not shared largely in the
plums and largesses bestowed by fed
ral legislation upon the north and
west. Paying, not receiving, ha hAn
their rule. The compensation comes
in the preservation of a sturdy self-respect
self-reliance, steady Industry and
economy. Character has not been de
moralized. Industry has found a solid
oasis, ana sfocu progress as has been
made
is -sure. The Uw-abidins? and
conservative
habits of southern rooile
contrast livprably just now with the
recetft record of certain sections of our
Country.
IMPORTANT MEASURES PASS
ED BY THE NATIONAL
HOUSE OF REPRESENTA
TIVES.
Chatham Record. -
The Mouse of Representatives has
passed, wirhin the past few dayc, sev
eral important bills, which seem not to
have att racted much attention. One U
the Bankrupt bid, providing lor a. gen-e-.al
and uniform b- kn pc ittw
througtout the United States. By this
bill, if a debtor surrenders all hit pro
perty that is! liable to execution he can
be discharged from his debts and begin
life over again unencumbered.
Another bill, or rather resolution,
proposes an amendment to the consti
tution . providing for the election of
United States Senators by a direct
vote of the people. This will be very
buorally approved by democrats and
populists. J
Another bill abolishes the present
United Stages Comlssiouers (who hold
office for lf J.) and provides that they
shali be appointed by tue President for
a term of four years. The bill also re
stricts their fees, and makes Several
changes which are considered necesea-,
ry because of the abuses which have
prevailed in many: parts of the Union
iruder the present law.
And another bill, which is of a local
character, changes Chatham and a few
otheT counties from the Western to tho
Eastern District of North Carolina.
These bills have only been passed by
the House, and w.ll probably not be
passed by the Senate before next win
ter. We now allude to their paseago
by the House merely to show that iki
House, in which the democrats, have
a good working majority, has not been
idle, as gome persons seem to think.
Indeed when the people TnMy under
stand all that this House has done,! bey
will realize that it has done much bct
ter than many now think. If the dem
ocrats hd as large a maj r.ty in the
Senate, proportionally, kc they have in
the House Congress would be all right.
