He has been as true as any other Demo cratic Congressman. If the conven tion had been held before August last he would have been renominated unanimously, then why not now? Not one word can'be said against ... his course. Democrats are not ready to do a stalwart friend an act of injus tice. He argued earnestly for Atwa Her"from the standpoint of policy as well as justice: The. name of Atwnter was applauded.

PLEADING FOR HIS LIFE COUNSEL OF ARCHIE KINSAUL VISIT THE GOVERNOR sentenced to Die Tomorrow A Novel Ground for Exception by tbe Counsel Mr. John II. Gore, a prominent young atorney, of Wilmington, is in the city to plead with Governor Russell for a commutation of the sentence of Archie Kinsaul, the white man who is sentenced to be hanged at Clinton tomorrow. Kin saul was convicted of the murder of a man named Herring in Sampson county in November, 18118. The Supreme court upon appeal affirmed the decision of the lower court and unless the Governor commutes the sentence Kinsaul dies to morrow. He has a wife and several child ren. The counsel of the condemned man claim that there is an element of self defence in the case but Governor Russell seems to think to the contrary and be lieves that from the testimony in court Kinsaul hounded down the man that he killed. One remarkable fact that developed in the case has escaped comment. While the trial was in progress the jury sit ting on the case were taken to church by the sheriff on Sunday. The trial had been begun but the case had not beea given to this jury. In the course of the divine services on that Sabbath the min ister prayed that the iury might give the prisoner a fair and impartial trial. If guilty so find and if Innocent acquit him. The man of God prayed that eacfc juror might act fearlessly and honestly in the sight of his Maker and that the prisoner should receive justice. This prayer heard by the jury, was made one of the grounds for appeal by Kinsaul's counsel but in the opinion of the court Justice Clark holds that there was noth ing in the prayer prejudicial to the pris oner but he sounds a warning against the danger that might arise from the practice of sending the jury to church under such circumstances. FIELDS MINSTRELS This Great Organization Greeted With a Packed House Last Night. The Al. G. Field. Minstrels were greet ed with a packed house last night at the Academy of Music and this great mints trel organization held up Its great repu tation.

In the first part the singing of Prosse and Yale were the features. Af. G. Field's appearanc was greeted with applause and his witticisms much enjoyed. Arthur Rigsbee, entertainer. proved one of the most catching burnt cork ar tists. Doc Quigley, the excentric dancer, is a wonder and brought down the bouse. Pascatel, the contortrouist, did a neat act. Bob Keys, the jumper and high kicker, is a star feature. The Arab family in the tumbling and acrobatic feats was a special feature. The entertainment was clever and clean throughout. FAIR WEATHER However Some Distant lodicat'ons of 1 Showers arc Spied. The forecast of the Weather Bureau for Raleigh and vicinity says: Fair to night and Friday; increasing cloudiness Friday afternoon; rain probable Satur day. The sub-tropical is still central over Southern Florida; it has made very lit tle progress northward in consequence, no doubt of the resistance interposed by the area of high barometer central over Virginia, North Carolina and Tnnessee. Light rains occurred at Charleston, Jack sonville, Tampa, and westward along the Gulf coast. There are some signs that the force of the sub-tropical storm is de creasing. A low barometer is central over the St. Lawrence valley. The tern? peratures in the Mississippi valley were very high Wednesday; Omaha reportej 98 degrees. Cooler weather is approach ing from the northwest this morning. SaCRED concert. Owing to a failure to secure the cap Itol square.
