Friday, February at, U)oS We have recieved from Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, State Geolo gist, the following books; History of the Gems of North Carolina, Fishes of North Carolina, Mining Industiy and Ojsh-/ Culture,- for which we extend our thank*. These volumns are not only inte resting but valuble. It is a great pleasure and honor to have amongst us such a man as , Rt. Rev. Robert Strange, bishop of the Eastern Diocese of North Carolina, and the peo|Ue heie are grateful and appreciate his pies ence. The Bishop has preached some powerful sermons during this week, sermons that will live long after he has left us. Their impress has been indellibly stamp ed upon the minds of many that have heard them, and undoubtedly this will be the turniug point in the thoughts and actions of many of our citizens. The Bishop is a man of charming personality, and it is quite a privi lege to metf and converse with hitn. It is hoped that he can and will inake his visits to Williamston more uutnerous. That- ■ portion of the account of the McLoJion tragedy in Wednes day's New & Observer under the headline "Another Account— fur ther Details ," statements were made that were absolutely false. Mr McLohon was never on trial for his life. While he was alleged 10 have been-a desperate man,his con duct in our midst was that of a peaceable and law abiding citizen. His family is thought much ot, and during this week the people of this town have shown their sym pathy #nd respect for tlieui. The account was heartless, misleading and uncalled for, and—to sav flitf least, written without a thought of the feelings of an already heart broken family. A family that lOved the father; while thev were conscious- of his short comings, they were grateful,and almost wor shipped him for his kindness and love to them. The people of this town with on® accord resent such feeling as shown in that article. A protest, signed by some of the best people in town, was mailed to the News & Obser ver lieen carried to all the people in the town there is 110 doubt but that it would have lieeti signed by prac tically every man and wonton in the town.

K. • i LIVED NINE HOURS WITH HOLE THROUGH HEART •. L A ... (Continued From First Page) Dr. Jo». H. Saunders o?Everetts, the cororier, was notified of the crime and of the death, Tuesday morning, and he came to town and soon had a jury composed of the following gentlemen: C. D, and J. !K. Carstaphen. T. J. I.athain, S. K. Higgs, F. K. Hodges and S. S. Brown, The first witness to testify was John Tucker, who said that he was at the borne of Mr. A. C. Jones, and from there went to the church. When he reached the church he was late and the congregation was at prayer. While waiting in the vestibule he looked back an saw a man standing at the gate, but did not recognize him. Mr. F. F. Fagan was next called, and his testimony was that he was called bv the sexton who told hitn that some one had been shot. Mr. Fagan wentont and found the man l>ing at the gate, and went back and called Dr. Rhodes, who was in i church and who went out to the : man. When thev got back the man had Tainted, and Mr. Fagan went back to the church to get some water. He saw no one leav ing the church yard. Roland Ward's testimony was that he was going home, and just as he p issed Mr. Hobb's residence he saw"a man running around Mr. I, 11. Harrison's corner, a block I away, and coming toward him, | the man came toward Main street | and turned up the street going to i ward the railroad. Richard Daniel was called and he testified that Mr. McLohon had come to his room and shown hitn the letter that bad been received .by his daughter and asked him Daniel) if he knew the writing, and he told him that he did not Dr. Warren was called and he testified 'hat Mr. McLohon had come to him and shown the letter and asked him if he knew the writing. Dr. Warren did not know the writing. Jnrvis McLohon was oallld and testified that his father did ' not hive a pistol on bis person that night, neither $d he have auy j whiskey about him. Miss McLohon's testimony was \ taken behind closed doors. All testimony went to prove that j the deceased did not have a pistol I that night. The verdict of the jury was that, the deceased came to his death by a pistol sljot in the hands of a j party iinkuowu. A post mortem examination was I held by the coroner, assisted by Dr. Wanen. At this examination it ! was found that the bullet, a 3; ; caliber, had penetrated the heart, ■ the lung, and had broken a rib and ' was lodged alongside the backbone. The ball was taken out and is now ' 111 the posessiou of the sheriff, i There were two other places on [the breast that were supposed to have been made by glance shots, j One shot was accounted for, the | bullet having passed through the 1 vest which was unbuttoned as was |thecustoqi of Mr. McLohon to ! wear it, atid through his coat and through Mis overcoat, coming, out Must below his arm.

The genuine Foley's Honey and Tar contains no harmful drugs and is in a yellow package; Re fuse substitutes. C. C. Chase, S. Biggs. A weak Stomach, means weak Stomach nerves, always. And this is also true of the Heart and Kid ney. It's a pity that sick ones con tinue to drug the Stomach or stim ulate the Heart and Kidneys. The weak nerves, not the organs them selves, need this help. This ex plains why Dr. Shoop's Restorative Las, and is promptly helping so many sick ones. It goes direct to the cause of these diseases.
