Special to Journal:
Washington, May 3. The State der
partment has received information that
the South American States, Colombia
and Venezuela are about to declare
war. Venezuela is the aggressor and
the government of Colombia feels that
the insult offered by its neighbor is past
the pale of diplomacy-
The trouble arises over the refusal of
the Vice-President of Venezuela, who
is now acting president, to receive Her
rera's ambassadors who had been ap
pointed by the ruler of Colombia with a
view to settling their prior troubles.
The action of the president was a sur
prise and already the two countries are
makin active preparations of war.

soon come again and teach for us, for
she is loved by all, and the children did
like so much to go to school to her.
She was accompanied home by Mr Willie

Raleigh, May 3. Winslow Goodwin
a white farmer, aged aboui forty years
attempted suicide yesterday at his
home, (which is on the line between
Wake and Chatham counties. He had
been of somewhat unsound mind for
some time and had shown this by his be
havior. He took a revolver, went out
in the woods, and placing the weapon
at the center of the forehead, instead
of at the temple, fired. The bullet did
not penetrate the skull, though he was
stunned. In his home nearby were his
wife and their seven children, and
these rushed to the spot and took
Goodwin home. A doctor was sent for
and while he waB extracting the bullet
Goodwin called for his wife and said he
desired to cut his throat and end his
life. He will recover, and will proba-
by be sent to the institution.
There were showers at Raleigh last
night but not enough to do any good
and gardens are being greatly injured.
The April drought was really one of
the worst in quite a while.
Yesterday a sick negro was dis
covered in a box car beyond the city
limits. The case was made known by
an officer of the Associated Charities
aiid a pysician and a field-worker of the
Associated Charities went after the
man and took him to the hospital where
he died last night He had some low
form of fever and it is said had been in
the car a day or two without any at
tention whatever. He was a young
negro, whose name and home are not
known. A young white man, about 25
years old was also taken to the hospi
tal having been found lying on the
street, unconscious being a victim of
morphine and whiskey.
Secretary Bruner of the Agricultural
Department has gone to Chadbourn,
which place is one of the notable cen
ters of the strawberry industry in
North Carolina, Mt Olive being the
other pluce. He will take many photo
graphs in the strawberry country. It
may interest the public to know that
late in March and earb in April no leas
than 11 miles of reftigerator cars were
parked for handling the North Carolina
berry crop.
The vestry of Christ church, New
Bern, have most kindly made a loan to
the Hall of History of the superb bible
and prayer book presented by King
Gorge 11 to that church and these are
now on view there.
Marked interest is felt here in the
summer music festival which is to held
here in connection with the summer
school for teachers and the North Caro
lina Teachers Assembly. Something
new in the musical line will be the per
formance of music composed by North
Carolinians. The time for the sdmi-
Ston for eoci petition of such composi
tions baa been Irxtonded to May 15th.
Several have already cotne in and it is
expected that the extension will enable
s number more to be received.
Condemnation proceedings are in pro
gress here for the right-of-way for the
Raleigh and Pamlico Sound Railway
through the property now known as
Glenwood in the northwtetern suburbs
of this city, formerly the Devereux ee
lata. The Raleigh and Southport Rail
way is also having condemned righls-
of-wsy through some properties almoet
in (he suburbs of fayetteville. It had
quite a fight to order to get through
one large aetata there and la now tack
