it
. Wilcox Convicted.
At Elizabeth City Saturday, J'is.
Wilcox was found guilty of tho mur
der of Nellie Cropscy. The jury,
ufter having been out thirty hours,
brought in a verdict at 10:30 o'clock
p. m. of murder in the: first degree.
The prisoner "heard the verdict with
out apparent emotion.
When the verdict had been re
ceived Judge 'Jones said :
. It is sadder to me than jou, Mr.
Wilcox. The l'urv found the facts,
I cave the law. You have had a
fair trial. Part of the public were
afraid togive it to you. I am in
formed that the movement in the
' court here Friday when a crowd
marched out" was pre-arranged. I
hope such was not the- case. If it
was true and the offenders were
brought before me I would send
every man,Jvoman and child to jail
for contempt. If the move was for
a purpose, it was a disgrace to the
fiir name of the county. I hope it
did not influence you gentlemen in
the least.
. The judgment of the court is that
the prisoner be removed to jail and
be hanged dead by the nock on
April 25th."
Lawyer Aydlett for the defence
will appeal to the supreme court.
At 1:15 o'clock that afternoon the
jury went into court aud asked for
further instructions. The Judge re
peated his former charge, telling the
jury, the findings of the facts was
with them. He could give the law
only. The jury then retired for fur
ther consultation.
There were many expressions of
impatience at the tardiness of the
jury.
. Popular feeling was strong and it
was feared that a verdict of acquit
tal would precipitate trouble.
JUKV LIST.
Could Not Breathe.
Coughs, colds, croup, grip, bronchitis,
other throat and luog troubles are quickly
cured by One Miuute. Cough Cure. One
Miuate Cough Cure lV not a mere expecto
rant, which gives only temporary relief.
It Hof tens and liquifies the mucous, draws
out the inflammation and removes the
cause of the disease. Absolutely sule. Acts
at once. "One Minute Cough Cure will do
all that is claimed for it," says Justice of the
Peace, J. Q. Hood, Crosby, Alias. "My wife
could not get her breath and was relieved
by the first dose. It has been a benefit to
all my family."
To the Patrons of the Public
Schools.
I. call your attention to the fact
that the use of the books adopted by
the State Text-Book Commission,
for the use in Public Schools will be
compulsory after July 1st, 1901.
All old books now in use, that are
not exchanged before that time, the
exchange prices according to the con
tract, with the publishers by the
State Text-Book Commission, can
not be tnken advantage of by the
patrons of the public schools. There
fore 1 wish you to notify the patrons
in your district, so that they can
take advantage of the present con
tract price. If they fail to take ad
vantage of these low prices before
July 1st, 1902, they will find them
selves compelled to buy new books
at the full price, and their old books
will be left as useless property on
their hands. This of course would
mean a great loss to the people of
your district.
Any book that has been used or
could have been used by any child in
the public schools of Korth Carolina
before July 1st, 1002, may be ex
changed for a new book of like grade
upon the same subject at the con
tract price. J. U. Evkrktt,
Co. Supt. of Schools.
For The Complexion.
The "complexion always suffers from bil
iousuetis or constipation. Unless the bowels
are kept open the impurities from the body
appear in the form of nu&ightly eruptions.
D Witt's Little Early Risers keep the liver
and bowels in healthy condition and re
move the cause of such troubles. C. E.
Hooper. Albany, Ga., says: "I took De
Witt's Little Early .Risers for biliousness.
They were just what I needed. I am feel
ins; better now than in years." Never gripe
or distress. Safe thorough and gentlo. The
very best pills.
The steeple-climber ought to be a high
charchman.

atiou" would use Dr. King's New Discovery

Thousands of once-hopoless sufferers from
Consumption, Pneumonia, Bronchitis owe
their lives and health to it. It conquers

"After using a few bottles of Kodol Dys
pepsia Cure my wife received perfect and
permanent relief from a severe and chronic
case of stomach trouble," 6ays J. R. Holly,
real, estate, insurance and loan agent, of
Macomb, III. "Before using Kodol Dyspep
sia Cure she could not eat an ordinary
meal without intensa suffering. She is now
entirely cured. Several physicians aud
many remedies had failed to give relief."
You don't have to diet. Eat any good food
you want, but don't overload tbe stomach.

Goldsboro, N. C, in order to encour
age the cultivation of Kice on a lar
ger xcale than has heretofore been
done, is now prepared to make con

Does your horse "feel his

tween the
rn-ass-fed horse 1 The first
strong and full . of ginger, the
second flabby, weak and tired
out before he begins. The
feeding makes the difference.
Children arc not alike either.
One is rosy, bright-eyed, full
of life and laughter, another is
pale, weak and dull. -The feed
ing again is responsible.
Sickly children need special
feeding. They don't "feel their
oats". Scott's Emulsion adds
just the right richness to their
diet. It is like grain to the
horse. The child gets new
appetite and strong digestion.
Scctt's Emulsion is more
