By PUtal Ball and Human Blood BrikUw Seek to OTerride Law nnd Kearaln Pawer. The News and Observer has nearly a column and a half special from Elizabeth City in regard to the murder of John E. Brothers, registrar of election in Salem township by James W. Wilcox, the Re publican ex-sberift, because Mr. Brothers refused him access to the registration books. WUcox is an active Republican politician whose zeal has often brought upon him the censure ol his opponents. The young man kilted was a first. cu-in ofthewileof Hon. Thos. G. Skinner, a young man between twenty-five and thiny years of age and an industrious, que.. law-abiding citizen universally .respected by all who knew him and was never known to be otherwise than respectful to and considerate of al! who hod dealings with him. His needless and trag c death has shocked the community, even the w hole Elizabeth City section, and there is a great deal more feeling than appears on the surface of things. It has stirred Pasl qnotank connty as it has not been stirred in manv a day and it should arouse the whole State. The day has past when any party can hope to benefit itself by terror zing methods. Every voter lias the right to see that his own name is on the registration book N i has no right to examine i; otherwise. A itcox wanted to examine the books for himself and demand certificates of re. nioval for whom he ebose. The registrar very properly refused to let him see the list, and refused to issue any certificate except lo those who applied for them in person. There upon Wilcox made himself very obnox ious and annnoying and refused to leave when ordered to do so although he was in, the home of his registrar, and when at last .Brothers, provoked beyond endurance, anxe, Wilcox attempted to draw his pis tol, but before he could use it Brothers got bis cane and struck at him. Wilcox fired three times, the last shot penetrating the abdomen and proving fetal. Wilcox eats up a claim that he did not fire until be was being beaten and was tearful for his life. He was arrested, tried before three magistrates. in the presence of six hundred spectators and committed to jail without bail on the charge of murder to await trial at Superior court. An effort will be made to get him out under bail by haleas corpus proceed-1 nigs. ! THE HEAVY ESD OF A M ATCH. "Mary '' said Farmer Flintat the break- fust table as he asked for a second cup of coffee, "I ve made a discovery." "Well. Cyrus, you're about the last one I'd expect of such a thing, but what is it?" "I have found that the heavy end ot a 'match is its light end." responded Cyrus with a grin that would have adorned a skull. Mary looked disgusted, lut with an .iir of triumph quickly retorted. "I've got a discovery too, Cyrus. It was n ude by Dr. R. V. Pierce, and is called n "Golden Medical Discovery.'

Just before shipping his exhiuit to the State Fair Mr. K. E. liege, the luiicy poultry and pet animal dealer who is pre paring to move to New ISeme. placed his stock on exhibition to give the people oi Winston-Salem an opportunity to l" -t parting alimpse nt 'Frank I icj. pel ." Two thousand, three hundred mid twen ty one people paid each their ten cents tor the privilege. This fives an idea of the extent to which Mr. liege's collet tinn is appreciated in his old home. Mr. Heae takes his pets from the North Carolina State Fair to the Fair at Macon, Ga., and they will remain there until brought on to New Berne. Mr. liege is likely to get established here about the 20th of next mouth. 11 is residence is nearly completed as are al- tlw yards and houses for the rearing of ms buds and animals. Mr. Hege has made a very favorable impression upon nil of our people who have had the pleasure of meeting him. He is unmistakably a very pleasant and courteous Christian gentleman. One of our citizens who knew him well in his present home speaks in very high terms of his character, his love nnd devotion to the special line of business he has marked out lor himself, and the success that is at tending him in it. Such men are a decided acquisition to any community and we nre pie csed that the advantages of New Berne as viewed by him on occa sionsofhis coming to. and exhibiting at the East Caroliua Fair has led to hi cast ing in his lot among as. And we consider too, tlint in his re moval to the citv, Mr. tfee himself is fortunate iu having fcr his partner such a man as our esteemed, well-informed citi zen, Mr. Win. Dunn, vh coupling enter prise with prudence, has made a marked success ol his affairs, ami who is himsed' not only a tanner and tru -kei but a poultry fancier of no mean experience and a sound, practical, level-headed busi ness man with it all. We look for the poultry, pet animal and bull-frog farm of Messrs. F. E. Hece & Co., in connection with Mr. Dunn's truck farming to be oi,e of the most prominent and interesting en- terprises carried on at this place. KOAXOKE COLONY MEMORIAL. The Meeting: of the Asaoclation In Raleitb First One Held The Busi ness Transaeted. We gave notice of the meeting of the Roanoke Colony Memorial Association. From the News and Observer we take the following account of what was done: The stockholders ot the Roanoke Colony Memorial Association met yester day afternoon in the pa-lors of lhe Var borough Hotel. Of the 156 stockholders of the Association about 100 were re presented. Amnii1.' those present were R. S. Bi.t,le. of Raleigh; Mai. Graham Daves, of Xaw Berne; Mis. R. R. Cotten, of Pitt count- Mrs. Turner, of Raleigh; Dr. Bassett, of Durham; Messrs. De. L. Haywood, Pulaski Cowper, of Raleigh. Much enthusiasm was manifested and all present felt that the movement which this association has started will be a great success. One of the duties, a snd one of the Association was to elect a successor of the late President and founder of the orga nization, Prol. Edward Graham Daves. Maj. Graham Daves, a brother of the deceased President, was chosen to this place. The other officers are Mr. W. D. Pruden, vice-President; Dr. J. S. Bassett. Secretary nd Treasurer ar;d Bt Rev. Jos. B. Cheshire, Mrs. R. R. Cotten, Messrs. W. II. Battle and Johu G. Wood, Dr. R. B. Drane and Dr. W. P. Capehart. By-laws were adopted which, with the constitution, were ordered to be printed for distribution among the members. A committee was appointed to draw up an appropriate tribute to the memory of Prof iklward Graham Daves. It was found that the tinanees of the association are in good condition, and steps will be taken at once looking to ward the lescue and preservation of the site oi the old City ot Raleigh. This is the first regular meeting ot the association in the Stale. It is appropri ate that it should be in this city. The message that the present City of Raleigh sends to the old cilv of Raleigh is that fJbe old she must be preserved. The general result of vesterdav's meeting was that this is an assured fact. President Cleveland has not written any letter endorsing Senator Hill as was stated to some extent. Sendor Hill's lriends are bitter against the President and the New York Republicans are elec ted. All hope of Democratic harmony is practically abandoned. Senator Faulk ner has quit the work of conciliation and gone home in disgust. SLOVER, NEW BEENF, N C.

Senator Jraulkuer, Chairman ot the Congressional Campaign Committee, goes to ew Y ork to-morrow to confer with the party leaders in that State. Mr. Cleveland and all his friends will support Hill unqualifiedly. Senator Ransom, Chairman of the Com merce Committee, will leave here on a special train November 11, lor the Pacific Slope, accompanied by Senators German, Cullom, and a party of lidies and gentle men friends. The object of this trans continental tour, for w hich $.3000 was appropriated during the last session of Congress, if I remember aright, is to find out whether a certain harbor in Southern California needs deepening. When Grant was President he was ac customed every morning to walk down Pa. Ave., smoking his cigar like any other citizen. He would even stop the school children, on their way to school to ask about their parents and their lessons. Consequently he was very popular here. I wish Mr. Cleveland would follow his example. Instead of this lie drives in the suburbs with Thurber, or Lamont, in the carriage with him, and two armed de tectives at a safe distance in the rear.

All who see the fair aaree in declining the exhibition the best ever made. Indeed it deserves that pralie The procession, under the direction of Chief Marshal James it. Holt, went out to the grounds iust before 11 o'clock. Gov Carr formally opened the thirty-fourth annual lair, in a pleaflunt fashion. Afterwards aa address was delivered by Dr. .j. L. M, Curry agent of the Peabody fund, and stveial hundind phjidren of the city's public schools sang "The Old lortu State.'' Governor Carr was introduced by Col Julian ,S. Carr, president ol the lair. The latter is greatly pleased with Hie great succes-i of the fair, and Governor Carr took occasion to compliment it warmly, The show of horses, cattle and sheep is grand, Not onlv are there exhibitors from all parts of the State, but there are Messrs. Sharpe of Ohio. Benniger and Craft of Pennsylvania and Dr. Dayidson of JJew York, There are over 200 horses at the grounds. George Vanderbilt shows some particularly nne caitie from njs tJiumoie farm. His farm manager, Baroq d'AHnge is here. All sorts of cattle, of the choicest breeds, some of them imported, are on view. Theri is always a crowd at this part of the exhibit. The entries aggregtte over 2,000, No one can sav alter this vear that there is any lack of interest in the State fair or anv lading off in the quality of exhibits. The firm products are all the best to be had. The Special displays by noted larms are a feature of much prominence. There are all sorts of amusements in the grounds, but no gambling or "skin games." A SIGHT KE.'LLY WORTH SEEING. From the News and Observer we lake this mention of some .of the finest stock: Mr. G. Howard Davison, of New York, Mr. E. O. Croft, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Benninger, of Pennsyfvania, each have an exhibit of tine cattle and slieep at the fair grounds that undoubtedly sur passes any exhibit of s,tock ever made in the State. Mr. Dvispn's choice in sheep are the ishropsdaire, oh my ! aren't they beauties though, and iu cattle Mr. Davi son lias his heart set upon the Guernsey. In his herd of Guernseys which he is showing is the bull that has captured more premiums than any bull ' in the' world, and he has two heifers and two cows that took the premium at the World's Fair at Chicago as did his Shrop shire sheep. Not only that, Mr. Davi son i.s perhaps the only living American w ho has sent from this country .to i.ng I and sheep for exlrbitiou, and not only so, but the sheep came home "bringing prizes behind 'em." Mr, Croft shows Darsett sheep and Shropshire beside the sbort horn bull, weight 2,800 pounds. Great Scott! what monsters tbey are, and so very fine tliafc these alone with their ' crumpled horns" are worth the price of admission. Mr. Rerringer shows the finest Hols teiu cattle that it has ever leen my pleas ure to lay eyes on. Th'y are prizewin ners and don't you forge! ii. Think of it, one cow giving ten gallons ol milk, and yet here you find her and Mr. Berrin ger takes great pleasure in showing his pet to you and telliug of her wonderful record. It the fair offered no other attrac tion (and they are numerous) the exhibit of fine cattle would more than repay you for a visit to the fair, the management not content with bringing here the finest! features of our own State but contribu tions from distant States of the finest variety and perfection. "The Stale fair is like a magnet, and at tracts everybody. Visitors who saw it vesteiday spread the news that it was the best ever known here, and as a conse quence there was a rush to-day, both of people from a distance and from the city. The attendance was large. To morrow it will be immense. "A movement taken up now would carry through a plan for sin exposition next year. There ought to iinye been one this year. This fair.dur instance is far uperior to the so-called thern.Ex-1 position of 1891. It shows what can be done. "The things of special imer-st at-tt fair to-day were the exliibits ofcoad working machinery and appliances. These were shown in practical operation. I There was also road-making, granite be ing used. It was "Good Roads Day,'' so these things were very appropriate indeed. "Fifty more stalls for cattle were put up Tuesday. The oldest attendant at the fair never saw such cattle and sheep. Some of the finest in the United States were shown, among them the World's fair prize winning Guernseys and Jerseys. There is alwavs a throng looking at the cattle and the sheep. The horses, to be sure, came in for a good share of atten tion. "The cyclorama of the Battle of Gettys burg was a great attraction Five hun dred public school children saw it Tues day and Wednesday all tbe veterans at the Soldier's Home will view it, upon special invitation of gallant and kindly Mr. J. f . Chase, its proprietor. He was a cannonier in the Fifth Maine battery and at the great battle received no less than forty-eight wounds. To-day Mr. D. T. Hargrove, ot Laurinburg, who fought on the Confederate side at" Gettysburg, ar rived here to assist Mr. Chase in exhibi ting the cyclorama and telling the story of the battle. 'iThis evening a road congress was held at the Capitol. At this addresses were made by Goyeraor Carr, Congressman S. B. Alexander, Gen. Roystone, of Wash ington. D. C,, State Geologist Holmes. Mr. J.

He lived about fifteen minutes after being struck. Alter the tree fell he got up and walked around the cart and asked his wife if she was hurt and halloed for help and Jerry Rochels came. Frank told him to get a niiilt Ain nt' tKo " it tn lnr liw linJ sin and he laid down and crossed his legs and hands and told them good bye for he was goii", and lie died wuinn tiiteen minutes. "Another accident happened near the j same place. While Mr lom fierce was out coon hunting, the dogs treed and he cut the tree down. As it fell a limb broke off, striking him on the head killing him ; , ,1 ,i 0 J" i David Bennett HiU seems to be putting in all of his time in an effort to let by - gones be by-gones. i:h4tk at poi.lockkvilu:.

The joint speaking that was booke I lor this point yesterday between Hon. W. It. Henry, Democrat, and H-n W. II. Kitchin and Mr. Franks, third pany or Populist candidates tailed to materialize, owing to the fact tliat Mr. H-nry was prevented from coming by a former en gagement at Elm City, and also having to contend wilh a severe hoarseness which would have prevented ln spiaking. Messrs. Kitchin anil Franks, hovyever, were both here and made speeches of some length, it was all euay sailing and they doubtless lejoice I in lhe ct that they would have to contend with no op position; in this however they ware des tined to disappointment Us a .-urprijn; wn sprung upon them in tlje person of ur esteemed fellow townsman.

After the speeches by Messrs. o hin uid Franks Mr. Hudson followed w ith 3ne that'was clear, concise, and to the point, and though brief it fell with killing effect into the ranks ol the Populists.

POILTKV AT THE STATE FAIR. The Largest and Rest Exhibit Ever in the State Falr-The Largest Assort ment is From New Berne Tho Ex hibits of F. E. Hege and Other. From the News and Observer's account of the Fair we take the following aboui (he poultry exhibit; The most crowded building was what is known as the Main Exhibition Hall. There North Carolina seemed to have come togethei. It was simply packed and the people could scarcely pass one another, and all se emed lo le wend ing their way through toward the poultry show at the end 400 yards away through the long building. The poultry show has b en rtfi-rred lo before but ' yesterday, it was on every hp as the most remarkable lllustottiop ol what the State could do of anvthiui on the grounds. ' , There were some exhibits from outside1 States, but in the main they were from North Carolina, and it is no exaggeration to 9tate that the sight was simply amaz ing. From New Berne, probably, came the largest assortment. Many stopped to look at the silver and gulden' pheasants. the former' being frescoed with tracery of i thread-like soft white more delicate than the needle lines of hiaideri's hair fern and with a tender touch of color that has never been equalled even on the ceiling of the Cistine Cbapel. Tb.e colors of the Golden pheasant were a study; the 'gVeen'haeld with the golden plume, the red dark brown, crimson, drab, the spangled, mot tled copper in the tail, the white-yellow, eye, the glory and gush of all color on the back of a bird; then came the Monon ghahela Pheasants, Brown Leghorns wi'k their white wattles, White Plymouth Rocks, Dark Brahmas, Light Rrahmas, Buff Cochins, White Leghorns. Indian Games, with their breists marked w ith tiny autumn leaf-like triangles ofi-ronze; Black Minorcas, Buff Cochin Bantams, Silver Wyandotteg, Houdans with their heavy spot-dashed crests. Black Lang shans. White Wvandottes with mossey. heavy, red combs; Red Game Bantams. Then in the same department were the Lop-Eared rabbits, English and Maltese rabbits, Himalayan tahbits, all from North Carolina yards, the Abyssinian Guinea pig, geese of all kinds, white and spotted mice. Just around the corner from these, was the Occonneechee poultry exhibit of Col. Julian S. Carr, which was refreshing to look at. The fowls were in prime order and splendidly marked both as to size and limbs. There were thirty-one wire coops of them, and ihe white turkevs in the Oc- conneechee exhibit were the finest speci- mens ot towts tnat 1 nave ever seen There were choice breeds of dogs acoss the aisle, including the St Bernard, set ters, pointers and others. The poultry show from the Occo neechee farm is one of the finest exhibi tions that has ever , been displayed at this or any other fair. 'The-.long rows of cages are filled with as fine specimens as exists in the realm of birds. The proud roosters sound tbe loud acclaim of their high breeding, by momentary crowing, as tbe thousands of visitors pa$s ,1'rom cage to cage. In these crows there seems to be a, little suspicion that the roosters knoW that their popular owner was one of the real builders of the fair, and that they are at liberty to crow as much as they please over his great success, lnis uconeecnee poultry exhibit is a part of the fair, not only a part, but a great big part, and no Vlsjior snouiu lau io laise a ium at n. i The Riverside Kennells, Poultry and Pet Stock Farm stretches its magnificent exhibit across the western end of the Poultry Department. Messrs. F. K. Hege fe Co., late ot Salem, but who are I now established at New Berne, are the proprietors. This is one ot the finest in dividual exhibits of Brahmas, Cochins, Plymouth Rocks, Langshans, Games and Wyandottes, of gold and silver, nnd Lady Amherst Pheasants, and of St. Bcr nard's, English pugs, rabbits, fancy pi geons, guinea pigs and other pet anima's ever shown in this or any other State Fair. Messrs. Hege & (Jo's . establishment is the largest and most elaborate of its kind in the kouth. if not in tie country, anil an hour can be spent looking at their wonder ful exhibit with steadily increasing in terest. Mr. Hege himself, is in charge and will pass you from row to row and from cage to cage, showing auo explain ing his many rare and interesting speci mens. Col. O. R. Smith, of Henderson, passed along and said that the President of the Fair wasn't doing much crowing, but there were three thousand roosters down at the poultry show doing the crowing for him.
