Spring term of the Criminal Court,
Cn that day his attorneys, Messrs. Gil
liam & Gilliom, received a telegram
from Raleigh annnouncing that the
Supreme Court had granted him anew
trial. We do not know the exact
grounds upon which the court bases its
action, as no copy of the opinion has
been received. The case will come up
for trial at the February term of the
Criminal Court.
FOUL MURDER IN CRAVEJT.
The New Berne Journal tells of
a
foul murder about 16 miles from New
Berne. It says :
"Christopher M. Oxley, a citizen of
this city, well thought of by his friends
and neighbors, was struck down by an
iron weapon in the bands of Jack
Jones, a man of very dark character.
"Oxley was working at the Landing,
employed in cutting wood for W. B,
Ellis, ol this citj. Jack Jones lives in
that neighborhood and the two men
had a quarrel during the day. They
however, had made up, and to show
that all ill feeling had passed, the two
shook hands.
"Oxley walked away a short distance
after the friendly understanding and
took out his tobacco from his pocket
and proceeded to fill his pipe for solace
of a smoke.
"But Jack Jones was only waiting
his opportunity. He saw that Oxley
was deceived by his show of friendship,
As his. victim was engaged in forgetful
preparations for a smoke, Jones crept
upon him and dealt Oxley a murderous
blow upon the back of the head with a
heavy hand-spike, used for canting
logs. Oxley sank to the ground with
out a word.
"Mr. Oxley was fifty years old and an
honest, hard-working man, but given to
drinking. He was well thought of by
his employer, Mr. W,B. Ellis, with
whom he has been engaged for a num
ber of years. He was born near Grif
ton, Pitt county, and leaves a wife and
two daughters. Also one brother liv
lng near Grifton.
"Jones is a married man. He is
brother to Chas. Jones, who drowned
his wife at Fitch Kettle, this county
some years ago, under circumstances oi
peculiar atrocuy. Alter the woman
had sunk in the stream, her husband
sat upon the bank and whittled a stick
until ne was sure sue wouia not reap
pear. ' Sentenced to be hanged, he was
commuted to life imprisonment, and
later escaped from the penitentiary.

OLD PEOPLE'S CHEISTMAS GIFTS.
They Should Carry a Year's Bright
ness into the recipient's Life.
In the Christmas Ladies' Home
Journal Edward W. Bok wrote that he
would not be surprised if the dear old
ladie- of our land should rebel at the
customary presents which people send
them at Christmas time," gifts that are
severely practical, and ever a reminder I
of their Years. "I wish at this Christ-
mastide," he continued "every young
eirl misrht brine her mind to hunt out
some aged saint, and bring new bright-
ness into that life by some holiday
thought or attention. A bunch oi
bright flowers can bring a year's sun-
shine into a sunset life. Let the gift
be ever so simple ; the attention ever so
small ; but let it be bright ; let it be
suggestive of cheer, of hope, of fresh-
ness, of youth something that will
bring the sparitle to the eve, the tinge
of color to the cheek. It will be a I
double Christmas lor you : a fresh, new
Christmas for the old, while to you,
my girl, it will mean more than you I
think. We always gain more tnan we
give by associating with old people. I
The poorest old lady in the land is rich I
in knowledge for a young girl. It al-
ways does a girl good to come in con
tact with an old lady. The girl may
be the most brilliant college graduate
who ever addressed a valedictory to her
class, but in the comfortable chair be-
fore her site one who has learned from
experience what the girl has learned
rom books. As a man takes off bis
hat to a woman, so I think a young
girl should always bow with respect to
an old lady. Let our young girls think
over this with the approaching holi- This land hunt brought him in con
days, and seek to throw a bright ray of tact with Mr. E. B. Higgs, cashier of
sunshine into some old lady's life. Let the Bank of Pitt County vho became
every girl who can, see to it that it interested in the plausible talk of the
shall be no longer said that young peo-1
pie care very little for old people these
days. There are hundreds ol dear old
adies in our land whose lives would be
engthened by some fresh, bright
Christmas thought from the hand and
heart of a young girl. Fors many such
it would be a new Christmas ; a sunrise
at sunset."-

Wise Words.
Selected. I
Among the wisest words ever spoken
by Mr. Moody were those spoken at his
mother's funeral, when he told how
this good Christian woman made her
boys go to church regularly. I
-Ana u aia not turn us against go-
ing to church," said Mr. Moody. It
1 1 a a l 1!
seiaom aoes, any more man senamg
boys and girls to school turns them
against education, or requiring them to
practice on the piano turns them
against music.
There is a good deal of loolish senti-
ment on this subject of "turning chil-
dren against church going." About
the surest way to do that is to turn
them over to their own devices on Sun
day until they are past the age when
habits are easily lormed. They will be
turned agianst church going pretty ef-
fectually by that time.
"Train up a child in the way he
should go," is old fashioned advice :
but somehow the moderns have failed
in their efforts to improve upon it."

FORGER ARRESTED-
PLAYED A BIG GAME BUT IS
FINALLY PULLED.
Greenville Reflector.
There is an old saying that it is a
long lane that has no turning. Equally
true is the assertion that it is a lucky
thief who can continue to ply his
game and keep beyond the clutches of
the law,
Last Julv a large, robust, handsome
looking man stepped off the train at
Greenville. When he gave his name
aa H. H. Harding he was remembered
las a voung man who left Beaufort
countv twentv vears aeo to seek his
fortune in the great west, He repre
sented that he was a member ot the
Colorado Construction Company with
headquarters at San Francisco, that
his company has built railroads in this
and foreign countries, and that he was
then en route to Cuba to look alter
some work for which his company had
contracted with the Spanish Govern-
ment, and took advantage of the op'
portunity to once more visit his native
section 01 Worth Carolina by coming
this way.
He spent some days here and proved
of very pleasant manner, a fluent talk
er and an interesting narrator of in
cidents connected with his extensive
travels. Nor did he mind letting it
crop out that he had made his fortune
in the west and had his barrel. He
let it out also that his company want-
ed to purchase 5,000 acres of tobacco
land in Eastern North Carolina for
the purpose of locating a colony, and
he had an eye to prospecting for that
while sojourniug in this quarter.
stranger and in turn undertook to
interest him in some Halifax county
lands. Harding sought Mr. Higgs
several times at the bank and had long
talks with him. Finally he divulged
the secret that be was a little short of
easy cash, having been on the road for
some weeks, and wanted to deposit a
check with the bank, get a few hun
dred dollars on it and leave the balance
here to his credit, but Mr. Higgs was
too shrewed to be taken in that way.
While Harding never got any
money here, he got something else
that later served his purpose as well,
for he slipped a package of blank cash
ier's checks on a New York bank of
which the Bank ot Pitt County is a
correspondent. Before leaving he
notified Mr. Higgs that he was going
to Washington, N. C, tor a few days
at which place he would like to re
ceive a letter giving some additional
information about the Halifax lands
and if satisfactory he would return here
to take an option before proceeding to
Cuba.
Air. Jilggs wrote the letter as prom-
ised, and armed with his autograph
i.m l 1 1 -w-t i .
ana tne Diane cnecKs warding was
ready for business.
Here the land matter ended, yet
nothing wrong was suspected until one
day an inquiry came from the New-
York bank about a certain check
drawn by Mr. Higgs in favor of H. H
Harding. Mr. Higgs having drawn
no such check at once discovered Hard
ing's game and advised the New York
bank tnat it was a forgery. The mat
ter was kept quiet in the hope that
Harding might be located and arrested.
Nothing more was beard at this end
for sometime until Harding put' in at
South Omaha, Neb., and got off one
of the checks on a bank in that city
He skipped before the forgery was de
tected.
Next he showed up in Seattle,
Wash., where he put up an $8,000
check on a bank and got $3,000 on it.
As soon as the Seattle bank discovered
that the check was a forgery they de-
A - 9 A - A TT -
terminea to nunt n.iraing aown no
matter what the cost. The cashier of
the bank with a deputy Sheriff got on
his track, followed him over into
British Columbia and finally arrested
him in Regina, in tbe North West
Territory. Harding fought the extra-
un-ldition, but they managed to have him
held in prison until the proper requisi
tion can be obtained to have him
brought back across the line and tried,
The cashier ot the Seattle bank wrote
Mr. Higgs at once from Regina advis
ing him of Harding's arrest, and there
was not a happier man in town than
he was when the letter reached him
Monday,
The Bank of Pitt County has lost
nothing by Harding's iorgeries, but
their blank checks being in his posses-
elon nas caused them trouble and an
novance.
i
'he State that gets Harding in its
penitentiary can use his knowledge of
railroading to adyantage by putting
him to work. He Is able bodied enough
