Elisabeth City EcononlaL New Bern hu emptied more honor Into the lap of North Carolina than any other town or community In the Bute. We always feel like lifting our hat In reverence when ever I hear the name of New Bern men tioned. Therefore, it was that we felt a glow of gladness, pride and compliment when we had a call on Friday from hon orable and venerable William H, Oliver, of New Bern, one of the oldest of the older generations of New Bernlane, a contempory of Gaston, Stanley, Badger, Graham, Bryan and other New BernUns who teat from their honored labor In the weeping cemetery at New Bern. Wm H Oliver la one of the few survivors of that glorious era of New Bern's history and It Is therefore natural for us who also knew tome of them, to be happy In communion with one who Is Identified with that grand past, and to enjoy hi visit as a benediction. It la useless to sav that, we rolled back the tide of time and lived In the past Hla remlnlscenea of that golden era in the history of New Bern's past, when ita courtly gentlemen and queenly women were known every where, were to us exquisite reproduc tions from one who waa their familiar and who knew them and saw them dis robed of their dignity and their great ness. For Instance, we knew Gaston only when robed In hla august majesty. Oliver saw and knew him when he came to hla f ather'a store to enjoy a summer breeze, stretched out at full length on the counter, recabans ex dlgnltate. We were sorry when our old friend had to leavens. May Try Protection. In the house of commons Premier Bal four made a statement which indicates that Great Britlan may abandon her free trade policy.

The great increase In the number of small pox eaaea during the twelve months ended May 1st, wlU attract marked attention, there having been a total of over 4,400 case. Thla la a rut Increase. Small pox was brought Into the State from Norfolk late In the winter of 1890, and wu quite widely dis seminated. SInoe then there hu been a yearly Increase In the , number of cue. The fact that there were about 165 death daring the twelve months will also arrest attention. Itahowithat the disease la becoming more virulent.

Testimony Against Character of Witness es For Defense. Special to Journal. lkRalelgh, June 1. The hearing in the Haywood cue wu resumed this morn ing. Witnesses for the Btate swore that the character of Hocutt one of the chief witnesses for the defense wu bad, and one said he was a liar, one said Hocutt told him he aaw no blows passed be tween Haywood and Bklencr. Hocutt swore he saw blows. F P Weathers Identified a pistol fonnd on Skinner u one ho had sold him five years ago. Five doctors testified that Skinner's death wu due to an Internal hemorr hage, that a person so wounded cou'.d live about a minute and walk fifty feet. Deputy Sheriff Separk who arrested Haywood swore that' the latter had no cigar In hla month and that after he took Haywood to the letter's office, Hay wood took a whisk broom and brushed his hat. Separk denied asking Haywood why he shot Skinner and the latter replied, "It had to come." The entire afternoon wu devoted to argument by counsel. A Grand Lecture. Last night at the Atlantic Christian College the people of Wilson were enter tained by Prof. Korl. He held the rapt attention of the audience while he told the early history of his life. Nothing has been more highly appreciated in the college this year. He waa born In Syria, was kidnapped whon a child and taken to a Catholic convent. After he had been there for awhile the Superiors de cided to lend him to Rome where he stayed for three years under surveillance He then escaped and joined hi mother In America. Prof. Eori la a most distinguished lin guist, and talks and teaches 11 languag es. To ahow hi wonderful knowledge, he can take any letter of the alphabet and trace It back through its different formation to the oldest language, the Phoenician. For Instance A was origi nally the head of an ox. It la Indeed interesting to hear him trace sentence and word, and espec ially Bible phrases back to the Hebrew, Syriao and Phoenician language, and explain the formation of language through the age that are gone. Aa his native tongue la among tbe oldest It la easy for the Professor to get at the root of all the languages. Wilson Dally Time.

Against Secret Societies In A. & M. College. Raleioo, Jane 1. Today was the fourth of the Haywood habeas corpus case hearing. Some of the lawyers aald It wu concluded on Saturday that there would be no argument, but others said they were not a party to such an ar rangement, and one added that he didn't expect to get through before Thurs day. The rains in this section are now quite general and north of here are almost tor rential, thla being particularly the case In the Littleton section.

The legislative acts have made the preparation of its expense allowances for Its various sub departments very much more arduous work than ever before. The law also re quires a great deal to be done for the Agricultural and Mechanical College. The hospital for the Insane here has been connected with city water works by 8000 feet of 8 Inch pipe, which taps the big main between the pumping sta tion and the city. The action of the trustees of the Agri cultural and MecTIunfCil College in for bidding secret societies of any kind Is by no means unexpected. The students applied some time ago for leave to have such societies, but the sentiment of the trusteeb was solid in opposition. In the Federal court here an interest ing case was up today. Tho defendant being H. C. Billiard, an ex-preacher, charged with writing obsceno letters to Miss Lutie Green, of Spring IIopo, Nash county. Dilllard, a man of forty loved the girl, but G. W.

North Topcka, a district of 7,000 In habitant, which was formerly a sepa rate town and is now included in tbe city of Tcpeka,Ean., is the scene of an appallingldlsuier -. Floods in the Kansas river which had been menacing for several day auddenly rose, at a furllous rate Saturday and over whelmed the place.
