A shocking piece of villiany .was enacted some days ago on the Rural Hall road eight miles northeast of Winston. Mr. Charles Cox, a young man, heard a noise at the- tobacco factory belonging to himself and father during the night. He went to see about it and was attacked by a man who ran out of the building which he hacf set on fire. He took hold o-f Cox and went to slashing him with a razor. When Cox made an alarm the assailant drew a pistol and shot him in the leg and ran away. The factory with machinery and stock was consumed involving a loss of $10,000 with $3,000 insurance. Singularly the whole affair was the execution of a threat on young Cox through an anonymous letter receiv ed a few weeks ago when he was or dered to desist from his attentions to a young lady on penalty of being killed and burned out. Thereseems little if any clue to the criminal. Orphan Children Burned to Death Rochester, N. Y. Dispatch. i Twenty seveu are known to be dead, six dying in the hospital and forty injured as a result of the burn ing last week of the Rochester Or phan Asylum. Many of the terror stricken inmates caught in the death trap leaped from the windows and and their limbs crushed and broken on the pavement. There are five dead at tbe Homo pathic hospital, eight dead at St Mary's hospital and fourteen dead bodies in the morgue. Seventeen different private sources shelter the sufferers. The infants were thrown by the attendants from windows to be dashed to death where they fell. The firemen and volunteers perform ed deeds of heroism in entering the roaring furnice to drag out of the smoke the stupefied children, risk ing their lives over and over again The inmates were aroused suddenly and were confused when they miss ed finding the lire escapes and places of exit. The nurses were suddenly awakened and attempted to start a fire driil, but the flames were so sud den and so fierce that they .were powerless to enforce the usual dis cipline. The screams of the impris oned children were heart-rending. They cried for help and their forms could be distinguished dimly through tbe thick smoke. I It is dow stated that 38 are dead and missing, Not all who succumb ed by the tire were burned. There was much loss of life from suffoca Oxford Orphan Assylum. (irand Lodge Masons Elects Officers. Col. Old's Correspondence 9th. To the 28th annual report on the Oxford Orphan Asylum was made. It says the property has increased in value more than $50,000 during the past eight years. There are 215 pupils. During the year their health was excellent. There was on ly one death. Of the $7,500 pledged by the grand lodge to match the $7, 500 gift of B. N. Duke, $3,042 re mains unpaid. State Sanitary En gineer A. W. Shaffer says the or phanage is admirably clean and well kept. The orphanage has received $700 from property bequeathed the grand lodge at . Minneapolis.. . Th-'i orphanage receipts for.the year were $30,700. Of this the Sta'e gave $10, 000 and $3,000 was raised by th'p v;hapter of pupils. who sang in Ihi tate. The balance on hand is $2. V:.

The grand lodge of Aasons this afternoon appropriated $2,500 ad ditional for erecting and equipping anjndustrial building at theJ Ox ford Orphanage. There was . some talk of changing the date' of the au -nual communication from the sec ond to the third week in January, so.as not to conllict with the opening of the Legislature, W. S. Primrose was elected audiior of the Jgraud lodge, to examine all accounts of of ficers and of the orphanage. Res olutions were adopted regarding the death of Past Grand Master H. H. Munson. It was shown by the com mittee's report thathe grand lodge of New York has never recognized ne gro Masonry. At the night session all the graut officers were re elected. B.-S.

Drewry, Grand Secretary, Thomas Bell, Grand. Chaplain, B.W. Hatcher, Grand Lecturer. The Election of the President. Duty xif Electors Under the onstltution. If the Constitution of the United. States had worked as its framers in tended, we should all be looking for ward to the 14th of January with very keen interest, and prob-t-bly al so with excitement, heated contro versy, and no little turmoil. For, although very few people seem to be aware of the fact, it is the 14th of January, 1001, and not the 0th of November, 1000, that is fixed by law as the date for the election of the President and Pice President who are to be inaugurated on the 4th of March. On the second Monday of the pres ent month of January, 447 citizens who were chosen for 1 hat purpose last November are to vote for a President and a' Vice-President of the United States. Each one of these men has a perfect legal right to yote for any person whatsoever, or to vote a blank. Or, he may dis regard his obligation ,and not vote at all. So far as we are aware, all of the 447 electors are'yet alive, and thee is noone.throughout the length and breadth of the land whodoes-not expect with entire confidence that Mr. McKinley and Mr. Roosevelt will receive 202 of their votes, and that Mr. Bryan and Mr, Stevenson will receive exactly 155. Yet no pledges have been exacted from any of these men. Their le gal duty does not extend beyond the simple requirement that they "shall meet in their respective States and vote by ballot for President and Vice: President, one of . whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same State with themselves." Al bert Shaw, in the Review of Reviews for Jan uaty. A Difference of Opinioa. Directors of the State Prison Disagree. Raleigh Tost 9th. There was a lively session of the Board of Dii ectors of the State Pris on yesterday morning, during which a minority, including Mr. LeGrand, Mr. Young, Mr. Cotton and Mr. Den-! mark, had their votes recorded as a protest, against what they termed '"snap judgment" and premature adoption of the reports of the super intende'nt and the Executive Board of the Prison. Mr. Ballard also! joined in the protest without asking that his vote bd recorded against the adoption of the reports. The cnarye ol snap judgment vas on the ground that the meeting yes terday morning was intentionally called and action taken on the adop tion of the reports before they (the protestors) reached the prison, by those members who spent the night in the executive building of the pris on as the guests of the officers, and the charge of premature adoption was on the ground that tne board, or at least the special committee to whom the reports were referred, should investigate for themselves the accuracy and completeness of the re ports and recommend adoption from personal knowledge, after such in vestigation. The advocates of adoption, on the other hand, contended that there was no snap judgment, the board having waited for the absent mem bers from 9 o'clock, the hour to which recess' was taken, until 9:35 o'clock, before proceeding to the transaction of the business, and that the coufi-' dence they reposed in their (th board's) officials was ample warrant for the adoption of their reports by the board of directors. The discussion developed some un pleasantness of rather a personal character between several members Ten-Xear-Old Indigestion. W.'H. Peters, Nathanton.

Yesterday Wail street saw anoth er Ion.1' step in the direction of the coming consolidation of all the rail roads of America. Following the Hill -Morgan-Rockefeller deal in the Northwest came reports of similar combinations in the Middle West and the Southwest. These various consolations, if they are carried thro i . will unite $1,011, 742.037 of capital and 40,120 miles of rail road. t It makes no difference whether any particular rumor be confirmed or not any more than whether any particular ripple on a rising tide strikes noon this place or upon that.

The G overnor's Salary. Raleigh Post. The salary of Governor elect Charles B. Aycock will most likely be increased to $5,000 Leading members of the General Assembly realize the fact that the Govern or of the State cannot maintain the dignity of the office it matters not if economy is practiced with the present salary. A leading mem ber of the House said yesterday that the office of Governor is practically beyond the reach of a poor man by reason of the inadequate salary. He took the view that the Governor of the State should not be handicapped with the ce'-taitaty that he will leave the office in debt. Hon. C. B. Wat son, the .Democratic-candidate for Governor in 1800. told a oartv of frinfl; uPsf-orHav that'll wan 1 uekl vi for him that, he was not elected Gov ernor. The late Governor Elias Carr was not an extravagant man, and he told a friend before he died that the governorship cos tj him $6,000. Gov ernor Russell informed a frind that it had cost him 811,000 during his 7 - . 'I administration as Governor. Working Xight and Day.
