DRAWING TO A CLOSE.
The Life of Wyatt H. Perry Now
In the Hands of a Jury.
This morning the court room was
picked. The argument in the tsse of
the state vs. Wystt H. Perry was to
begin and the crowd ofpeuple which as
sembled was there to listen to the
argument, a fi;bt between giants.
First tame Col. A rgo, large of frame,
large of voice, large of heart aud
large of brain. For two honrs he spoke
on and on, and during the whole
or his argument a pin-fall would have
created a sensation. The people Td
the court room craned their uecks
and crowded to the railing of the bar
in breathless silence and admiration.
A general feeling of pity for Perry
prevailed the court room, for, "How
can the jury do otherwise than con
vict?" seemed to be everyone's opin
ion. Perryj himself was deeply affec
ted; he who during the whole trial
had sat with a stolid cast of counte
nance, seemingly unmoved by any
thing. But tkere were no rough
wordH used during the entire argu
ment, his talk was forcible, convincing,
damning to Perry, but withal gentle
and kind.
Then came T. R. Purnell, Esq., for
the defense. When he began his task
seemed hopeless but, as he went on,
quii;ly, slowly, but coming out ever
and anon vith some thundering fact
or telling jjoint, the people said
'Terry has a chance," and it was true
The argument of these two geat crimi
nal lawyers was nearly a draw. Ar
go's eloquence was counteracted by
I'urnell's facts. Thus stood the case
at 3 o'clock. This afternoon solicitor
Pou, always forceful and brilliant,
will address the jury. Then the hope of
Wyatt II. Perry will be hung in the
balance. Nothing will remain for the
twelve men to do but reach a decision.
What will it be?
Mr. Chandler ana a Runaway
Horse. -
A nnaway horse, belonging to Mr.
Julius Lewis, created much excite
ment on Fayetteville street this after
noon. He dashed around the corner
of Fayetteville street and tried to
climb into a buggy which was a negro.
The negro jumped and the horse
ran on until he reached a buggy in
which Mr. Chandler was sitting and
tried the same tactics on him. Mr.
Chandler didn't jump, though; on the
other hand he resisted and struck tfie
frightened animal a blow between the
eyes with bis fist. The horse was
dazed and easily captured.
A Splendid Showing.
The progress of North Carolina in
manufactories, cotton mills, etc., is
well shown in the report of Mr Lacy,
of the bureau of labor statistics. In
1870 there were 33 cotton mills in the
state, operating 39,897 spindles; in
1880 there were 49, with 92,385 spin
dies and 2,954 loojis; in 1893 there
were C6 mills, operating 243,119 spin
dles aud 6 146 looms, representing 23
counties; in 1894 there were 177 mills,
operotiug 477,804 spindles and 10,309
looms. This increase is truly encour
aging and shows a wonderful develop
opmentof the state's manufacturing
progress.

MIGHTY SLOW
Is the Way in Which the Mail is
Put up Now
Since the new order forbidding the
letter carriers to do anything except
collectand deliver letters and sort out
the letters they are to deliver; there
is great delay in getting letters dis
tributed. There are not enough clerks
in the office to do this work. The car
riers have heretofore aided indistribu
ting all the mail. They do not object
to this, as the Vilitor understands
the matter. The other clerks are
bearily handicapped. The mails are
heavily and the length of time afte
their arrival and the distribution of
the letters to boxholders and at the
general delivery is so great as to cause
much and just cemplaint. This is
not by chronio grumblers but ' by the
general publio, which has a right to
be heard. It is hoped there will be a
marked improvement on the present
slowness. ',:'
