The Murderer Gets lndi(iiaot Because of Low Offer For His Body. The colored boy who is to be ex ecuted next Friday, the 22ud iust., at Wentworth is only 15 years of age, according to his own statement. But there were witnesses on the stand who testified he was at least 16 years old, and one witness testi tied that he was 17. v He is a chunky negro and does uot possess a bad expression vt countenance. He is about 5 feet fi inches tall; single; aud was boru in Rockingham county. His mo'her had not seen him before he was tried for nearly two years, His grandmother testified he was an unruly boy and that she tried to raise him right but that she could uot do anything with him, and that he finally ran away and left her. His mother said she gave him away at the age of 9 months, and that she had a baby then two weeks old. He is a shrewd negro and doesn't have much to say; he is stubborn. The judge found he would not answer questions readily. He asked the jailor not loug since if he kuew where the poor-house was; being answered in the affirmative, he re plied nonchalently: "Well, I guess everybody else in the county doos too." He was tried at an April term of theCiicuit Court, ordered by the Governor. The murderer said on Sunday that he supposed it was then too early to be at all concerned about himself; he knew what religion was, but didn't know that he would go to heaven. As long as he has u penny and good things to eat he is supremely happy. The scaffolu has been erected in the jail on the second floor; a four feet partition cut from whu he will fall to the first floor, Thirty eight people will witness the execu tion. Ttius far Broadnax has made no disposition of bis body. The negro said several days ago he would readily sell it if he could ouly get .mnrl thint's to eat the balance of bis days.

We naed them this hour in some prohibition "Why Prohibition Has Fared." ' The articld from the Biblical Recorder, which the Rev. C. L. Greaves spoke of in his sermon last Sunday is as follows: ONLY LIFE ENLISTMENTS DKStRKD. The sooner we realiza that in dealing with the liquor traffic we are not dealing witn a u ordinary evil the better. If we thought that the present effort in North Carolina was going to be abandoned as soon as elec tions have been carried, we would repudiate it now. Impassioned as they are. the peo ple are not aware of the real character of the task they have undertaken. Prohibition is by no meaus sufficient. Prohibition is only the beginning of the battle. Those who are shoutiug over pro hibition are proclaiming nothing so much as their own ignorouce and incompetence to deal with the drink evil; an evil deeply entrenched in modern civilization. Tennessee's danger in this hour lies in the ease with which her elections are being carried. If this leads her good neople to think that they have no battle on their hands, there will come a revulsion that will establish the saloons iu Tennessee for half a century to come. Look at the record. Prohibition has been carried in twenty seven States, and twenty four of them have abandoned it? It has been carried in thousands of towns, aud likewise abaudoned, Why? Be cause it was not properly followed up. It was not enforced. It was not defended. The people fell back and "whis key rings' came to the front in politics. Moreover, nothing was done t reach the drunkard, nothing io cure him, nothing to relieve him, nothing to supply his social need. It is not that prohibition itself 1...., f..,l..,l ll..., , l.i, ..hi I.H ,,, ists have tailed. Now is this history to bo repeated l iu North Carolina If so, let us not waste time and money aud blood. Let us give our energies to other ed to examine his brain, and mat he would pay bim $5 for the same. The negro was highly indignant L0UtltieB u;te aH muct aHWeno-d 11 . .nil. . Jl ,K 4- ! 1 . THE BIG MILL PLANS. Some Manufacturers Doubtful About Reports Concerning Rli Faitory at Spray. j Uroensboro Cor. C'lisrlotte Observer. H Tho announcement that Mr. B I Frank Mebaue, of Spray, in con i junction with a syndicate of Ger-1 man capitalists, would build a i mammoth textile plant, to be i equipped with 210.0UO spindles and 14,000 looms, is causing a good deal of talk and some speculation in mill circles. It is but stating a truth to say that the news is received with a grain of allowance on the part of some mill men, but, on the other hand, it cannot be denied that' the movemuts of Mr. Mebaue and his associates would seem to indicate that they are preparing to make extensive investments. For a year or more they have been quietly taking options on real estate and water powers, and about ten days ago a deal was closed for the pur chase of 4,000 acres of land and a desirable water.power. The laud is situated withiu a few miles of Spray and the water power is on Daa river. It is said to be capable of developing more than enough power to operate the projected; plant. A civil engineer has. been engaged to stake off the ground and it is understood that Ladshaw & Ladshaw, of Spartanburg, S. C, have the contract for preparing plans aud specifications for the buildings. The identity of the German capi talists Mr. Mebane is said to have interested is unknown, but it is re ported that they were enlisted through the influence of Frederick Victor & Achelis, importers and ommission merchants of New York. This is a very strong firm, with extensive financial connections iu Germany. Some of Mr. Mebane's previous investments have been made with capital furnished princi pally by the Dukes, of the American Tobacco Company, but it is pretty well understood that these gentle men have no connection whatever with the present enterprise. THE FATAL WORD How would it affect you if heard in the neighborhood of your home or business place ? Aside Irom the question of the satety of self and taraily would it have any significance. In short. Are you insured ? Don't you think it's about time you took o t a policy ? The com', panies we represent are solvent, reliable and settle claims promptly.
