County News Continued . V m Fourth Pagt. fflk (Mtnirisc. WILLIAMSTON, N. C, FRIDAY, MAY 1903. OUR RALEIGH LETTER. ry. I upiu. May 18th. 1903. There i? great interest manifested ir. the outcome of the E r »>cst Hay- Wpodcgse (vharged with the killing of Ludlow Skinner three months 1 ajj»>) which «ill receive its first hear ing in court th - las! ol next wecV, be fore Justices Douglas* and Walker of the Supreme Court, on a writ' of habeas corpus to admit defendent Haywood to bunJ, release him from the county j&i! he:e, till the July term of Wake superior court. 'i he hearing will l>egiti Thursday, May «Bth, anil wi I probably con sume several days as council fur the prosecution have been instruct ed to resist «»rdngty the effort to hail Haywood. It will be public and the county court house will bo used, but it will accommodate only a small proportion aI the crowd that will probably seek admission— so great is the interest, and the curiosity here. Jt is almost as I at throughout the State, and no criminal case tried in North Caro lina in a generation has attracted as much attention. Mr, Haywood and his lawyers (who have hitherto complained of the disinclination of witnesses lo tell what they know and saw) now claim to be able to prove a strong case of scl f defence. They claim to be able to prove that Skin ner struck Haywocd and partially knocked him dowa and was reach ing for the pistol aftcrwaris found in the dead man's pocket when' Haywood got his out fi st and fired two shots in quick succession while both were on the sidewalk, on 3 shot taking effect in Skinner's side; that th* latter then walked hurried ly half way across the street and fan dead on the street far trtclr. There are said to be a' least three witnesses to these alleged facts. *lhcy are said to also h?ve wit nesses to prove that Skinner had openly threatened tokHl Haywood . that-tl»4s_-intention had been con veyed to the latter pri;r to the shooting. These at.d other circumstances that may rome out at this bearing, and on the trial proper in July w*l! materially alter the story first given lo the public, but whether they will lbs sufficient to secure the release of {Haywood on bail remains to be jsoen. As to "public sentiment", I here, I may dismiss that feature I with the simple remark that it L> very much divided. The action of the foutitern Cot ton Spinner's Association at the ' Seventh annual meeting at Char- I lotto last Friday an J Saturday in recommending cessation of night | work in cotton mills and curtail ment of day woik to four (j) tiaj? I per week until tie market gels better on raw cotton cheaper, is re-, g&rded as the proper itep to pursue. ' T he calling of aState Temperance , Convention, to meet in Raleigh j July 7th, is an important event of the past week. It is called by the executive committee of the Anti Saloon L-ague, and among the reasons given is this: '-We are about lo enter upon m great cam paign.'' The sentiment against Ihe optn saloon is cnqestionably much stronger new then in many J yeais in Noith Carolina, and the negro vote materially strengthens the temperance and anti-saloon forcts. Tie establishment oftjwn ' and county liquor dispensary s' seems to be now generally accepted as the most available "entering wedge" to drive out Ihe saloons. I am told that the plan of consol idating a number of North Carolina 1 cotton mills under the scheme gen-1 erally known as the "Fries Merger" has about been abandoned, so far a! this State is concerned. The ad- jouined meeting set for last week ' wts not I.eld. 4t iss'.ated however, 1 that the iec>.ntly incorporated (in t New Jersey)' Southern Textile Co ," | will form a combine of a number' of Georgia and Alabama mills. But the men interested are so ' close rr ou'theb" and the subject it is hard to get at the exact facts. two new Crphanages at Ea'eigh have ju>t been formally dfdicvttd—the Catholic yesterday and the Methodist several days ago thr ccrner stone of the latter being bid by the Maacns. 1 IHE FELL' ;; OVERBOARD!!
