It is said that United States Circuit Judge Nathan Goff will preside at this special term.

If Holton fails of confirmation and Blackburn is acquitted, it is said' three defendants'. lawyers will have nq fear of future prosecution in the court. It is also said that some of these defendants are in possession of evidence which will prove very damaging to the Congress man relative to matters outside of his pracMcirg before , the :. departments which may be used at the next term of court . here to procure indictments against him of an entirely different na ture.

County Superintendent Brlnson's Report On School and Thetr Development . IUw Buildings. In an interview with Supt S. M. Brinson, who has nearly completed his school visiting in Craven ccunty for this winter, the Journal, has learned some most satisfactory news, as to the edu cational situation in this county, out side of this city, as well as regarding some matters in this city. : Mr- Brinson has visited schools in every township, not every school, but 57 in all, and while most of the schools are about over for the term, there are few ptill in session. The outlook in fill townships is favorable. at,d every thing ia encouraging, and particularly in the way of better school houses and new school houses, is tne prospect bright. At Fort Barnwell there is to be a new school building to cost $1,200, and at Cove where there has been a consolidation of two Bchool districts, also a $1,200 building. Vanceboro if to have a new building, which iu to be erected under the enterprise of a local stock company of citizens, whoorga. nized after the special tax election failed, determined to have a new school building. At Bachelor and Croatan it is expected that new school houses will be erected. This county has taken up its full al lowance for rural free libraries, and has applied for more. In the matter of the colored school in this city, which lost its building by fire, Sunt. Brinson, had no encouraging report to make, as the funds so far secured were insufficient to start the erection of a new school building at present. ?

Mr. Garland Daniel, , large property owner here and one of Greensboro's most, enter prising and public spirited citizens, has offered to deed areas of valuable land adjoining the city and on the railroad, free of charge as sites for manufac ing concerns. For some time a committee of the Lodge of Elks has been quietly matur ing plans for the erection of a large lodge auditorium, lodge and office building. Recently all the lodges and fraternal societies in the city have con ceived the idea of co-operation for the purpose of erecting a grand "Union Temple" or "Fraternity Home," hav ing lodge rooms and auditoriums for every lodge in the city, with a general club room apartments. While this scheme is in embryo committees from all the organizations are being formed and the suggestion has been found a nost popular one. j " ' .

Hardin, Smith and Walker were on hand, ready to know the order of the court.. Their absence from the bar, and the statement by Judge Boyd that it would be useless to try Hasty and have to try others over again, gave rise to the impression that he alone was present ' Mrs, T C. Cozart, secretary of the Womans Christian Temperance Union in North Carolina, addressed the stu dents at the Normal and Industrial College at 4:30 o'clock yesterday after noon. The address was made under the auspices of the Young Woman's Christian Association of that institution and was largely attended and enjoyed by the student body. Stolen by Gypsies.

As the Story unfolds the sen ses are thrilled and the heart is touched by the strong sympathy the scenes, and action illicit.

The abduction of an only child by the roving band of gypsies is the foundation pf the theme which d,evc'P8 a wonderful series of dramatic episodes.
