of Fayeitevllle. Thl convention proved
to be one of the most Interesting, which
has been held, a many Important .in
jects were discussed and the matters
settled.
The meetings were held In the Knlgb.it
of Pvthlas hall, the wall of which for
the occasion were adorned wlih Con
federate flags and portraits of the brave
heroes, who gave up their lives for the

dence in the decorations.
The fact that Fayeitevllle had only
two weeks notice would never have
been surmised by the delegates, who
were present, for the utmost hospitality
was extended on all sides, so that the

able to feel that the courtesies shown

Death of Hiss Rachel Brookfield.
There was a feeling of profound sor
row in the city Sunday when the an
nouncement of the death of Miss Rachel
Brookfield at Moreanton was announc
ed. The news, however, was not nnex
pected. as it hsd been known for some
time that she was failing and that her
malady was incurable.
Miss Brookfield had no email part in
forming the character of the citizens of
New Bern. Although a teacher may be
said to do so indirectly she was an Import
ant factor in planting influences and im
presslons In the minds of the young
which will sorely develop in later life
For more than fifty years she held the
the position of teacher In the graded
school and not one ot her students ever
left hea tender care without a feeling of
re ret and leaving an expression of
love. Her memory bears the sweet In
cense ef happy school days In the m'nds
of many hundred New Bern people at
home and abroad.
Her remains were brought to the city
yesterday morning and placed in the
Presbyterian church where the funeral
was hold at halt past three o'clock. A
large number of friends of the deceased
were p-esent to pay their last respect
to on whom they loved. The stu
dents of the graded school attended in a
body The services were conducted by

George Carraway Avoids Death by
Killing Negro Bent on
Murder.
7 here was a tragic affair on the old
Judge Green farm, eleven miles from
New Bern Saturday night, and a resn l
Jesse Bond a negro Is dead and Join
Carraway has a painfel It not serlocs
gun shot wound In the leg.
The cause of the affair lies in the fact
that Barnes had been discharged from
the service of George Carraway who re
cently bought the farm and the negro
was bent on revenge. Be had been em
ployed by Mr Carraway for six or eeven
j ears having come from Greene county
with Mr Carraway. He had been a very
good help but lately had become over
bearing and In many ways very disagree
able, so that It was necessary to dis
charge him.
From tbat time the negro had been
uglier than ever and made many threats
how he waa going to "do" Cariaway.
It la said that early on the day of the
killing he showed a razor with which he
was going to cut Carraway' throat.
Saturday night the negro went to Mr
Carraway' house armed with a shot
gun. When Mr George Carraway came
out the door Barnes attempted to shorn
him but was prevented by Mr John Oar
raway who struck the gun away and re
ceived a charge of duck shot lr his leg,
The negro was in the act of putting
another shell in the gun with the pur
pose of again shooting at Carraway
when the latter ehot the negro with his
rifle, the ball penetrating the side just
above the hip. A blood vessel was rup
tured or an artery severed for the man
lived only a few moments after being hit
by the ball.
Dr Street was telephoned for to attend
Mr John Carraway and the Sheriff depu
tlzed him to empanel a jury and hear the
evidence pertaining to the negro's death
The jury rendered a verdict of juatlfia
ble homicide.
Mr Carraway was arretted and was
given a bearing in Justice 8 R Street
office last night. He was heli under
$1,000 bond for trial this afternoon
The adjournment was made in order t--
have necessary witnesses present at the
trial.
The sympathy Of the whole communt
ly is with Mr Carraway and everybody
says that he acted only In self defense.
The negro's boast i and threats were
enough to put the men on their guard
against an attack by him.
