H. Wooten, i physician on February 10, will be gin tomorrow in Superior court. The defense, it is said, will be based upon the unwritten law.

This statement was at that time de nied by Mrs, Jetton, but at a pre liminarv hearing she testified that Wooten was attempting to assault her when her husband interfered and shot him. Dr. Robert V. Shipp, a physician of Austin, Tex., a brother of Mrs. Jetton, is here for the trial. W. T. Stewart, vice president and general manager of the Gulfport and Ship Island rail road, and C. R. Kemp, another officer of the same railroad, came here from Gulfport, Miss., Mrs. Jetton' former home, to attend the trial. It is said these people will be called as witnesses to testify as to the character of Mrs. Jetton prior to her marriage. There are scores; of people from Da vidson and upper Mecklenburg to attend the trial, all prominent people, as Jetton and Dr.Wooten were both among the best known and best con nected people in Mecklenburg county.

Commenting n the situation thi News and Observer yesterday said: "News was received yesterday by a private citizen to the effect ! 'at Con gressman John M. Fa i. son, of the Third District, has called a primary to settle the fight for the postoft'n e at Morehcad Cily. The primary is lo be held on next Sat urdav, Februarv 28, and if a second one is necessary it will be held on March 2. "There are five candidates in the field for the job, which pays SI, 300 per year, and which has never been filled since the Democratic adminis tration went into power in Washington. ''It was freely predicted that had the primary not been called the job would have gone to Mr. R. T. Wade, editor of The Coaster. It 5's a presidential postoffire, and the other candidates are Captain W. H. Gaskill, Hou. W. L. Arendell, ex-State Sena tor, and J. W. Willis, Jr." The primary seems to mejl the ap proval oi the majority ot the citizens of Morehead City and the people will be given an opportunity of choosing whoever they see fit, insteaTl of having the successful candidate appointed. It is rumored that editor Wade will probably be the man. As the News and Observer says, he would have doubtless received the appointment had it not been left to a primary and now that such is to be held, those who are familiar with the sentiment of the people of that town, say that he will be the man selected In the voters. FBERINS TO MANAGE HOTEL r ?r w WILL HAVE CHARGE OF THE THE INLET INN AT ,J BEAUFORT Beaufort, Feb. 20. Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Parks, formerly of the Ciastou hotel at New Bern, have come to Beaufort to take the management of the Inlet Inn. It is understood that R. A. Cherry, the well-known hotel man. will be connected with the Inlet Inn, and he will, it is expected, be here a consider- able portion of his time this summer, personally looking after the business. Important and extensive improve ments at the hotel are contemplated. The plans, however, have not mater ialized far enough lo warrant publi cation. It mav be said however, that ta., better Inlet Inn is planned, and it is, expected tnat tne notei win no a much larger business this summer, and in the future, than in the past. Mr. Cherry is dne of the best known, and also one of the most popular, hotel men in the state, and hi3 con nection with the Inlet Inn is a mighty good thing for that hotel. Mr. and Mrs. Parks, who are to be the resident managers, also have a wide acquaint ance with the people who patronize hotels. They are experienced in the business and know how to please their patrons. . v PURCHASES GROCERY STORE Jacksonville Man To Operate Bust , ' neee Here '".nrn-inii,, formerly with E. crorerv PRIMARY THE SILVER LAKE WILL NOT BE So Says Major Stickle To Journal In Letter REPORT WAS ADVERSE ThePopulation To He Benefited Was Entirely Too Small The Journal is in receipt of the following communication, whic h is self explanitory, from 11.

"The grounds upon which the ad verse report is based are containerf in the following extract from the Re port of the District Officer: "IS. The population to be bene fitted commercially by the improve ment of this locality is small; the valuation of present commerce is small, and the prospects for increase are not promising; the first cost of any ade quate improvement is larue compared with the valuation of the commerce to be benefitted; the improvement would be essentially terminal and lo cal in character; and while the Life Saving Service and the Post Office Department would be materialfy bener fitted, I do not believe general navi gation and commerce would receive sufficient benefit to ji siify the expenditure- required.
