The re cent death of Mrs. Fannie Holland, a respec table and well connected white insane woman, in the county jail of Johnston county (where she was con fined because there was no room in the asylums for the insane, and the sentencing during the past week at Cabarrus court of a twelve year old white girl to the state reoitentiary for five years for killing a man who had designs on her virtue (there be ing no reformatory in this state have served as additional pressing and heart-rending arguments to accentu ate the need of more room in our asy lums and the building oi a reformato ry for youthful criminals, the contin ued lack of which has for years been a disgrace to the state of North Caro lina and to every man who has served in the General Assembly of late years and has not exercised himself in the THE LONG AGO. A vnn'lt-rful stream is the River of the State Convention when it meets; that Rollins and the others are to be dethroned and kicked out and a polit ical halo is to encircle the 8 7-8 cranium of E. Spencer, who shall be made State Chairman and any and everything else that he thinks would suit his style of beauty. Today it is rumored that Rollins may voluntarily retire from the chairmanship next Saturday without waiting for the convention to select a new committee and that ths program has been arranged to anticipate the plans of the Elackburnites who are after his scalp; that some strong man satisfactory to the organization' folks and not particularly objection able to the insurgents will be chosen by the present committee to succeed Rollins and that it will be the pur pose of the fellows already at the Fed eral pie-counter to try and get a com mittee at the State Convention that will cnotinua the new chairman in I .A efforts that have been made by others that position.

The summer course at that fine institution, King's Business College, began last week and will continue till ! August 15th. This college gives dur ing these three mouths an unlimited scholarship in either or both the com mercial and short-hand departments at a reduced rate that is important to young men and women who desire to economize and which carries with it ! the yvritteu guarantee of the college to place each student who takes the j course in a gooa position pa iug uui to less than $50 a mouth to begin with. of the students who come from a distance, in or out of the State.

An interesting announcement to the music loving public generally, and es pecially to the patrons of tne Semina ry. is that of the engagement of Miss Caroline M. Letherman, of Valparai so. Ind., as Principal of the Seminary Music Department. Miss Letherman is a musician of rare accomplishments and a teacher of highly successful ex lerience.

The South Carolina Sally is now about the only disputant left to deny the authenticity and genuineness of the Mecklenburg Declaration and its at tendant features that have been so amply proved to the average un prejudiced mind. Long may she wave! The politicians of both parties are interested in the meeting of the Re publican State Committee in Greens boro next Saturday, according to the call cf Chairman Rollins, after he had been spurred Tip by Blackburn. There seems to have been a systematic at tempt made to stampede the rank and tile of the Republicans of the State with the story that Blackburn's ac quittal at his recent trial means that he is to be exalted over the heads of ail the orgauiaztion (whatever "or ganization1 V means in this connection Republicans by a popular uprising in from the Northern Indiana Conserva tory of Music in her native town she1 spent several years studying piano and voice culture under the most dis tinguished teachers in Chicago and New York City. Miss Letherman taught for two years with markod success in Hedding College Conservatory of Music. She then accepted a position in the Vocal Department of the Hinshaw Conseiv atory of Music and Dramatic Art in Chicago. While in this position her work as a teacher and her public ap pearance in musical and dramatic roles excited much favorable com ment. The Musical Critic said: 'Miss Caroline M. Letherman pos sessessa rarely beautiful dramatic so- prano voice oi excellent- quai icy ana range. She has studied for several years tinder some of the best teachers of Chicago. She sang the 'Queen in 'Bohemian Girl' during the past year with splendid success.. She is prepar ing for an operatic career and ought to be a success, a she has every necessary endowment.' ; The truth is that Miss Letherman had most flattering inducements to enter upon an "operatic career," but the is a good Presbyterian and she de clined public honors for the really more noble work of x teaching bet beautiful art in the seclusion of a col leee. She accepted a position in C7 Synod ical College, at Fulton, Mo. This institution being about to be consolidated with another collece Miss Letherman was open for an engage ment for the coming year, and Prof. Hayes manifested his usual enterprise in securing the very best talent for the Seminary. Miss Letherman comes; with the highest endorsements from . the paster of her home church, from the insitu tious where she has been educated and where she has been taught and from a nuhmer of distinguished musicians. The whole Reidsville public as well as the Seminary patrons are to be con I gratulated on this acquisition to our Reidsville is not the biggest town iq America, but when there is any thing doing she is generally in evi dence. An observant citizen remark ed not long ago that' one could not travel anywhere without meeting up with somebody from Reidsville. The earthquake in far off Sao Francisco found two Reidsville people on the spot, and a third who had drank from our town well in boyhood. . Last spring J. B. Duke tod bride were hastening to the bedside of the former's father in Durham, who was in extremis, bat tbey took the wrong train in Greensboro and landed in Reidsville. They spent several hours in our hustling town, wairing for the next train. Both seem to have been impressed with the place, for they returned, but not together. Later on the porter of Hotel Rock ingham had the pleasure of conduct iog a lady and gentleman who arrived one night on No. 40 to the Scales street hostelery. The lady gave her name as Mrs. Ogiesby and said the eentleman accompanying ber was ber brother, Mr. Frank. They asked to be assigned ad joining rooms, connect ed by inner door, which request was grao'.ea. ine lanaiaay was saspi cious, howevsr, as the lady and gen tlemen appeared to be rather spooney. "softer" than brother aod sister are supposed to be. She kept her eyes open. Before they left ibe lady dropped her handkerchief on the floor and it was found to bear the name of a married lady Mrs. J. IS. Duke! The landlady had beard of tbe di vorce proceedings instituted by J. B. Duke, the tobacco king, against his wife of a few months, in which Hun- toon, "Sew lork club man, was named s co-reppoodeot. She decide! that silence would be golden, as she did not want to be a witness io the case. But Duke was on the trail. Detecv lives were sent to Reidsville, who shadowed the landlady and worked in geniously to draw her out. One night she awoke at 6 o clock to nod it raining, and renumbering that the windows in the third story were open, hastily put on a wrap aud went to close them. Upon reaching the third fiooi she looked behind her aod there was one of the detectives. She asked him what be was doing so far away from his room at that late hour, to Which he rsplied that he heard it raining and bad gotten up to look after the windows, remembering they were open, which explanation she accepted. The landlady received letters from W. W. Fuller telling, her that it was known Huntoon and Mrs. Duke had been to Reidsville, and urging her to tell what she knew. Junius Parker, another attorn-y in the case, came to investigate for himself. J. B. Duke, the wrnced husband, also mi l l .1 .a came, i ne lanaiaay gave mem me of . her knowledge of "Mr?. Ogiesby"" and her ''brother," and agreed to appear as a witness in the case. However,' upon mature reflee tion she decided that it was not in cumbsDt upon her to co to Xew Jer sey and be subjected to the fire of the cefendaois' lawyer in the case and so remained away from the trial. It was announced in the papers that Duke did not put on half his witness", es. It is an interesting chapter. The first visit of the tobacco king and hi bride to .Reidsville an accidental one. Outside appearances indicated that tbey were happy, but the woman had married" Duke for his money, and he was jealous. The next scene presents the woman back in Reidsville with ber real love, Huntoon, traveling as brother aod sister. Then comes the detectives, and the lawyer, and the husband huntioir evidence. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction. We know Greensboro claims to be tbe "Gate Oiiy"' and all that, with unsurpassed hotel facilities, aod boasts of having a hand in all that's Mdidding, as the ''busy world spina round," bat if she bad the honor of contributing a chapter to Back Duke's romance. Col. Fairbrother has been very quist about it. The Colo nel submitted his reflections on the case in the last issue of Kverytbiog.
