AFFAIRS IN JOIITSTON.
Mr Pou Says That M D. Taylor
Exaggerates Qreatly.
Mr. James H. Poo writes from
Smithfleld a letter in regard to tbe
J-bonton e-inoty moonshiners, in
whl. h be takes is ue with tba evi
dent e on file bare in tba offlre of the
Uuiled fltatee marshal and revenue
roll ctor. He says these officers have
been greatly misled by M. D. Taylor.
The latter is tbe man who is now here
and who says be was ran out of John
ston by moonshiners. Mr. Poo says
ha knows Taylor well and Is only sur
prised at tba small number of dead
and wounded be reported. Taylor is
here, and says be was driven oat of
O'Neal's township by moonshiners
and th-ir allies. Mr. -Poo says he
does not live in O'Neal's township bnt
is familiar with its condition and ons
several farms in it, and except tba
shooting of M Q. Holland oannot re
call any considerable breach of tie
peace there since tha autumn
of 1893, wbeu M. D. Taylor cut a mag
istnted named JoneB very severely in
the throat, at a political speaking,
and Mr. Pou says was tried and con
victed of that nffrnse. Hedenies that
there is any "rrign of terror" in
O'Neal's, as officially reported here
by Taylor. It is true, ha adds, that
certain persons in tha eastern part of
the stale, near tbe Wilson line, who
were morally offensive to the commu
nity, have been visited by "white
-ps," and that in certain other sec
tions violations of revenue laws hs e
been too frequent, and be exprest-s
the bops that tbe guilty persons m y
he caught and punished. He wants
the United States marshal to investi
gate M. D, Taylor's thsracter. It was
said when Holland was shot that
ha was a spy on moonshiners. Now
it is alleged that he was a moonshiner
nd operated a still in his kitchen.
The people ia tbe revenue office have
the notices to Taylor, sent by tba
moonshiners' vigilanee committee, in
which ha was told that if he did not
leave as soon as he gathered his crop
they would torture him. A letter is
sent and also a formal notice in the
shape of an order to Taylor to leave
These are tbe papers which the col
lector will send to the postoffiia department.

A TRIP OVER A MODEL THOR
OUGHFARE.
The Ilillsboro Road ia Now Com
pleted and Well Constructed.
Two years ago a couple of gentle
men one summer aftaruoon drove pot
in a buggy to tba state experiment
station, intending to go farther, bat
one look at the road beyond was
enough and they turned back. It was
really almost "no thoroughfare."
Now sea tha contrast. It ia a delight
to drive over tha road from fit Mary's
school to th Tucker farm. It la ma
aadamixed 8 1-4 miles and not a street
ia 1 eleigh ia to ba compared to It.
The cost of this road, which la 34
feet wide, is 1.600 a mile, about half
for labor in preparation and half
for stone.
Tha granite comet from tbe Giey-
stona quarries, and ia excellent; much
better for the purpose than that hara.
As one drives along tha road piles of
stone nearby are noticed. These are
for repairs. Here is a convict oa the
road with wheelbrraow, broom and
shovel It is his business to keep the
road clear, by dumping and shovel
iug any filth into the wheelbarrow.
He also picks op loose stones which
a re less people throw on the road,
and repairs any plaoes which may get
out ot level. Sush a man will be kept
at work on each of the roads, aa soon
as the latter are completed. The ma
nure thus saved will pay for the man's
labor.
Hillsboro street is to be macadamized
from St. Mary's to Wast street. At
the fair grounds the stone is now be
ing prepared for this. The city's
steam road roller is furnishing steam
to operate th crasher and the town
ship roller is smoothing the roads.
Now as soon as Hillsboro street is
macadamised to West street tjjere
will be a demand for its macadamiza
tion to the'oapitol. Estimates are al
ready made for this and $4,500 is the
figure.
The macadam is from 13 to 18 inches
in thickness; this latter-depths on the
" fills," where there is of conrse more
of a tendency to sink or soften. Mr.
McMackin says the roadway will last
75 years. Nearly enough stone is
ready to place the part of Hillsboro
street to West in good condition. As
soon as rain falls part of the roadway
beyond will get its final rolling. As
the reporter rode over the road he
questioned supervisor McMackin in
regard to the view the country peo
ple take as to the good roads. Two
years ago country people in most
cases declared they would not Jpay a
sent for roads. But people change as
they learn things. Now the country
people, to a man, Mr. McMackin says,
are for good roads and for building
them by taxation. Many ask why the
road district was not extended two
miles instead of one mile be yond the
township boundary.
One of tbe terrors of the Hillsboro
road nsed to be the hill at the fair
grounds. The grade there, thanks to
a deep cutting and a fill this side, is
reduced 19 feet and 3 inches The
grade is to made as to include space
for the street ear track. There will be
a street car switoh at ths grounds and
also a terrace in a semicircle.
Further out on the rosd the grades
are exoellent. Places whiith onae were
mud holea after rain are now firm.
One of these hills is beyond the Craw
ford place: another near the Brown
place (now owned by the Putlen ea
tate.) The drainage uf tha roadway is
good all the war.
The views along the road are very
attractive. Persons who like a fine
(arm can see on the Tucker place
what is said to be the finest eorn ever'
seen in this part of the state. It is
like a prairie cornfield. A notably
attractive view of Raleigh and its en
virons is to be had from a point this
side of the Brown place On such a
good t omaghfare one appreciates
views. The new road district boon
daries are marked by posts on each
road.
The Statement ia made, that this
road has enhanced the. value of the
Crawford property $15 an aore. As
to the loads which oan be hauled here
Is an example. A man hauls wood
with two teams of mules and two of
oxen as far aa the Tuckar plana from
the country; thus pats all on the mile
wagons and hauls It to this city.
Ttoere Will be a Tournament Du
ring the Week
Last evening secretary Nichols was
at Darlam In conference with presi
dent Jalisa S Carr oa matters rela
tive to tha ete'e fair. It was decided
to have a tournament daring the fair,
mot probably oa Friday, tha closing
day. It has been many years since
a tournament was held here.
There is to be great pressure to se
cure tbe one cent a mile rate. Acorn-
ittee composed of Messrs. Charles E.
Johnson, A. A. Thompson and Cbas.
G. Latta was appointed to confer with
the railroad people and sreure tba
cent a mile rate to the fair if possi
ble. A strong influence will be
brought to bear to secure this rate.
birh really tbe railways ought to
give without solicits tion.
Mr. McMackin is in charge of the
matter of pu'ting the track and
grounds io order. He is ehairmaa of
that committee. This means tbe work
will be well dona.
President Carr and secretary Nich
ols are daily in receipt of many let
ters giving assurances that tbe fair
will be given hearty support.
NEW UOKKORS.
The Ghastly Record of Holmes the
Murderer.
Chicago, 111 , July 2. The police
secured today a skeleton which they
believe to be that of Mrs. Connor, one
of the alleged victims of H. H Holmes.
A man who claimed to have prepared
several skeletons sf or Holmes took
detectives to the hou' e of a Chappull
where a oomplete skeleton was found.
Chappell says he got the bones from
Holmes.
The police deoided that the skele
ton is probably that of Miss Clgranda,
the Indiana girl. It had been sol d to
the Hahnemann medical college by
Holme, the police claim. Today's
find makes two of three skeletons
which Chappell claims to hive pre
pared for Holm- s and the police are
In hopes of finding tbe third. Chap
pell's son claims that his father is in
sane. He declars that the old man
has been of unsound mind for years
and really knows nothing whatever of
Holmes' doings.
Detectives now believe that Holmes,
the self-confessed insurance swindler,
has been guilty of at least ten mur
ders, and name the following as nis
victims: Miss Cigrande, ef Indiana,
who was associated with Holmes for
six months; a daughter of I. L. Connor;
Mrs. Connor, who left her husband
for Holmes; Kate Darky, a girl whose
life Holmes insured; Alice Pietze',
found murdered in Toronto; B. F.
Pietzel, found dead in Philadelphia;
for seonring the insurance on his con
fession that he had substituted a
body for that of Pietzel Holmes was
convicted of fraud and is now await
ing sentence; Nettie Pietzel, las; seen
with Holmes at Indianapolis, Ootober
31, 1804; Cora Quinlan, aged 11,
daughter of janitor Quinlan; Holmes
had her life insured for $1,0QQ; Annie
Williams, Holmes's stenographer and
mistress) Minnie Williams, aister of
Annie; Holmes says she was killed by
Annie in a fit of jealousy and that he
put her body in a trunk and sunk it
in lake Michigan
One the many theories that has been
advanced concerning tbs Holmes house
or "castle" as he oalled it and the
many uses to which it was put is to
the effect that Holmes was a profes'
iional "procurer." The presence of
go many young girls about the premi
ses at various times had led to the
suspicion that Holme added this to
bis crimes. In this way the disap
pearance of some of the unfortunate
creatures ia accounted for.
One of the biggest crowds ever seen
at Athletic park was there yesterday
afternoon to aee the colored baseball

Graveyard Insurance
The revelations in the graveyard in

ing. The swindle has gone on
years. Some mercbants engaged in
it and negroes who went into it on
their own aoeount joined forces with
the white swindlers. Five companies
were swindled. Old and dying whites
and negroes were insured without
their knowledge. C. R. Hassall it
said started the business, aided by
some merchants and a doctor. Th
firm of Noe, Detainer & Co , with th
aid of Dr. Delamar, was also, it is al
leged, in the business. A negro wo
man was insured as white, to the
amount of (14,000. The Mutual life

hey were both young. He wooed ber
ut she married George Bentdirt He
'till remained true to his first love,
lowever, and when Benedict died
s me time ago he started in again to

She had experienced religion, and
