North Carolina's Twelve Greatest
Men.
Col. WT. S. Pearson in Raleigh News and Obser
ver. If the test of greatness be of ser
vice to the State I would name the
following twelve as our greatest
men in reply to your request for
opinions on that subject: Caswell,
Mason, Morehead, Swain, Pearson,
Ciingman, Graham, Gatling, W. L
Saunders, Vance, E. M. Holt, T. J
Jarvis. Of course, if brilliancy of
brain and 'accomplishment were
made the test men like W. w. Cher
"ry. Johnston Pettigrew,Mr. Badger.
Dr. Hawks. Judy:e Schenek, Heurv
W, Miller, Edwin G. Reade, Judge
Gaston, W. R. Davie, B. F. Moore.
Governor Bragg and others would
necessarily have to be gone through
and the list made to include more
or less of such names. Sticking t
service and omitting 'sense Gover
nor Casweil seems more than any
other one to have thrown North
Carolina into the whig rather than
the tory columu in the early days
and to have been rewarded accord
ingly.
Our cnief debt to Macon lies in the
fact. that he was Jefferson's right
arm in this State when the young
republic tottered on the brink of oh
garchy. Governor Jorehead was
our business man among the leaders
of his time and marshalled us the
way to such internal improvements
as the short sightedntss and strin
gency of Eastern slaveholders would
permit the State to engage in.
Swain formed the legal mind , of
more than one generation of the
State's best and wisest men, a ser
vice unmeasured this side of the
stars. To Ciingman we largely owe
it that western JNorth Carolina kept
in line with the South and did not
follow East Tennessee in the great
schism. No man ever sent bv 'he
State to "Washington wielded a
larger influence than he, no man
eyer more adroitly used that influ
ence in moulding a stubborn whig
constituency into secessionists.
Governor Graham was -the voice
of the State from 1862 to his death,
in 1875. No move was made in that
time unless with his silent or open
approval. - Parnell was never
stronger in Ireland. R. C. Gatling
is a world famous . inventor whom
we claim with pride.
Saunders served in letters to our
great good, an able editor, but as
the brains of the opposition to re
construction his place is beytmd
question in the highest niche Vance,
the elder Holt, and Jarvis, who un
locked Western North Carolina are
men known to every one as entitled
to an upper seat. W. S. Pearson.

A most shocking tragedy occur
red late yesterday, afternoon in
Martin county, near Palmyra A
white man named Hale was riding a
bicycle along the public road when
hewas shot from ambush and killed.
Persons in a dwelling near by saw
the soioke from the gun and saw a
man run into the wools from the
scene of the tragedv. The top of
the murdered man's head was shot
off.
There is no clue as to the cuse or
who the assassin was. Persons
came here for blood hounds to track
the assassin, but no news has been
received of success as yet.
ABig Bear Killed in Onslow.
Wilmington Star.
Among' the curiosities on Market
street Sunday afternoon, was a 196
pound bear which a farmer killed
Saturday on his farm in Onslow
county. The farmer who 'brought
the bear here to sell, said he was out
squirrel hunting, his dogs treed, and
when he came up to the tree ex
pected to find a squirrel, but he was
surprised to see a bear instead. His
gun failed to .fire twice and about
that time the animal descended
from his position in the tree and en
gaged'in a fierce fight with his dogs.
The bear then climbed another tree
nearby and he brought him down
with a load of bird shot ' from, his
muzzle-loading guD. The experience
! was rather an interesting one for
j the farrier and his dogs. -

Mrs Miller,- AVil'e of a Son of Former
Attorney General W H.H Miller,
Causes a Sensation in In
dianapolis. Indianapolis, Ind., Dispatch, 28th.
A sensational kidnapping, involv
ing the family of ex-United States
Attorney General W. H. H. Miller
occurred this afternoon and led to
a hot chase a few minutes later
across the State to overtake the
wiff of Samuel D. Miller, son of W.
H. H. Mider. who was supposed to
be flying to New York wilh her sto!
en son. Samuel D. Miller and wife
have lived in New York for several
years, and last summer he came
Wes' n go into bis father's office,
his wife staying in New York. Last
Friday sh came here to ueiuand
possession. ' of. her 7 year-old son,
whom the father had brought" West
with him and who w Jiving with
him at his grandfather's house, W.
H. H' Miller, at ., ,1027 North Delaware-street.
TboJ husband and wife
had a consultation at the wife's
npartments in the Denison and she
s said to have agreed that if the
hoy was allowed to be sent to her
daily with the nurse she would not
attempt to kidnap him. This after
neon the boy. and nu'se called on
Mrs. Miller at the Denison, she sent
the nurse out to get a check cashed
and while the governess was gone
ordered a carriage and made ar
t alignments to leave When th
governess returned Mrs. Miller an
nounced that they were going for a
drve. They started ;n a closed car
r;age down South Meridian street
toward the depot. The nurse, -sus
pecting foul play, jumped out of the
carriage while it was on a run, rat;
to a telephme aud notified the fa
thcr and grandfather '
Mrs. Miller immediately ordered
the carriage driven to Briyhtweod
and when .the two Millers arrived at
the union, station three was no trace
of !he woman and 'xn . T-;vo ho'irs
later they.' reeeive-.l information
which lechthem to orlieve that Mrs
Miller intended to take the Rir Four
accommcdatio.i train to Bright wood,
and then- take the Knickerbocker
train at -Anderson or M uncle. At
6:20 o'clock the two Millers started
on the Knickerbocker to overtake
Mrs. Miller before ..she' gt out of

Mrs. .Miller was Mi-s Helen Kar
cher, of Pottstowu. Pa. Samu i
Miller met her nine vears ago at
Washington when bis father was
President Harrison's Attorney
General. They were married a year
later and their son Sydney is now 7
vears o'd. Samuel Miller re'umed
r.o Indianapolis with his father and
subsequently became a member of
the lav firm of Hbro. Perkins &
Miller. Five years ago he went to
New York. Last Sum me" when he
returned to Indianapolis, Mrs. vil
ler refused to go with him. There
has been no divorce and Mr. Miller

nouncement that she had come ,to
tret her son and take him home with
her. There were conferences be
tween the father and mother and
her counsel. A compromise seemed
nearly accomplished till the inci
dent of this afternoon. The nurse,
after telephoning was joined by W
H. H. and-Samuel Miiler, who sent
her home to announce that the t wo
had gone in pursuit ,of idnev, the
boy. Finding that she would be
overtaken, at the union station,
through the nurse's action, Mrs.
Miller started at Once for Bright
wood in the carriage evidently in
tending to take the 4.50 train r It is
supposed she intended jroing to some
point along the road and then take
'he Knickerbocker for the East W.
H II. Miller and son returned to
night from points a'ong the Big
Four. No trace of-Mrs. Miller and i
the stolen boy could be found. Mrs

lest Liawj ers, Dead.
Raleigh Dispatch, 28th.
Early this morning it became

'Lost" Negro in Hickory.
Hickory Special to Raleigh News and Observer,
2hth.
A most mysterious sffair recurred
in Bobtown, the negro quarters of
this place, Saturday night. Some
negvoes had grown boisterous in
consequence of Christmas convivi
ality. Policeman J. W. Nichols un
dertook to quiet them, when he was
ass vulted by four negropc.
The eo:ntatauts fought with "o
advantage for a liitle while, the ne
groes circling around the policeman
who kept them off with hi club
Finally one of his assaiiau's dished
in and struck NichoU on the shoul
der with a pit ce of scantling. The-
polieeraau drew his pistol and fired
point blank at the neylro from a di
taucf of rot more thno two feet
Th1- ; egro fell in a hf-ao and his
companions fl -d
The policeman, however, i ver'ook
and arrested ope of them. He took
his prisoner io th major's office
and after locking hitu up, gathered
a posse ; r.d slartcd back for the.
who had been shot. But when the
paty reached the spot", not . trace
of the negro couid he found. He
had vanished. .
A colored boy named Tom Hoke
stated that he passed the spot and
found a negro lying in the diieh.
Supposing him to be -'drunk- Tom
proceeded to shake and Ca.ll Lire.
Hoke soon ascertained, however
to his own satistaction at least
hat he was alone in a dark alley at
two o'clock in the monmg' with a
dead man. Thom3s then marie a
hasty trek from H e scene of use late
com bet.
Later a colored man living uear
saw two men drive up to the spot,
put the body in a wagon and drive
off with it. The supposition is that
the negro's companions returned for-lam--
ilu ,' dead or alive, he has dis
appeared and search has so far failed
'o reveal any trace at him.
Safe Crackers Use Electricity.
Kansas City, Mq , Dispatch, 28th.
' Burglars niade an unsuccessful au
ieu.pt. to open a large sate in the
office of Tower Bros., live stock
commission merchants, at the stock
yards early this mooning.. Electric
hv wa3 employed for the purpose of
drilling holes in the- safe To ob
t;.ii the power the burglars went
intoihe yarda, cut down 700 feet or
telephone wire and tapped the pri
mary wires running from the pri
va u elec: ric power plant, situated
abDut eight hundred feet from Tow
er Bros. ' office. .
The wires were theu run into ihe
office through a window. One wire
was attached to a hinge on the safe
and the other to a crude instrument
made of woud and containing a stick
vt carbon iz one -jud fastened with a
brass thutnb screw. When :he rob
oers touched the safe with the , car
Ooa the current was too sirong and
a short circuit was established This
blew out the safety fuse and switch
board in the power house and thus
foiled the robbers.1 It is evident
that the intruders wtre frightened
away, for a complete bet of burglar
tools were found about the floor this
morning. These are now in the pos
session of the Kansas Cityr people.
Among the articles found near
the safe was a wooden box. 6 inches
square and 3 inches deep, lined with
iiree layers of asbestos, which was
to have been used with the carbon
applied to the safe to- prevent the
molten metal from Jailing on the
floor, and to protect the eyes of the
operator from the powerful blue
light that is thrown-out. 'Electri
cians say that with a curreut of
1,100 volts properly applied it would
nave jequired less ihau fifteen, min
utes to get into the sate.
The First National Bank main
tains a branch in Tower Bros. 'of I
flees, which no doubt attracted the.
burglars, but the bank officials say
ihey keep no money there.

Goldsboro Argus, I
No man in North Carolina has fin
er impulses, loves his friends better,
and in the most graceful ways shows
his appreciation of them than Colo
nel John S. Cuningham. On Christ
mas day, the express brought from
Col Cuuingham to Governor Aycock
a beautiful gold headed cane, toge'h
er with a letter of friendship and
good w'ishes. It was a graceful act
on the part of "John Cuningham," as
his friends Jlove to call him, a-id
there was something of a tremor in
our own "Charlie Ai'cock's" voice,
and a little bit of a raindrop in the
eye', as he spoke of "the beautiful
gift from my friend, Coh Cuning
ham." When you need a soothing and
healing anti-septic application for
any purpose, use the original De
Witt's Witch Hazel Salve, a well
