GREENSBORO, X. C:
THURSDAY/JUNE 28, 1888.
The teachers from Morchead
City availed themselves of the in-vitation
to visit the "good old
city" of Newberne on Saturday-last.
That city, so noted for its
hospitality, excelled itself upon
this happy occassion.
President John S. Long made
the welcome speech. It is need-less
to say it was fine beyond
description. There are many
historical reminiscences in New-berne.
The palace of that Brit-ish
tyrant, Governor Tryon, was
located there, and in the days
that "tried men's souls," she was
among the foremost in defence of
liberty. She was the birth place
and home of that more than great
man, William Gaston, and his
hallowed remains sleep in her
cemetery. His father was shot
by British murderers while he was
attempting to cross Trent river
with his family. The boy Wil-liam
was there.—Goldsboro Cor.
Wilmington Messenger.
A BOLD ROBBEBY.—Yesterday
morning a most daring robbery
was committed at the home of the
colored driver for Mr. Orr, the
dairyman, who lives on the Lnsk
farm, about two miles south ot the
city. It seems that the driver's
wife was alone at the. house when
an unknown darkey entered the
room, and pointing a loaded re-volver
at her head, demanded that
she give over to him all the money
in her possession. Frightened out
of her wits, she gave him all the
money in the house, amounting to
several dollars. The negro thief
thou backed out of the house, still
keeping the woman covered with
his revolver, and made good his
escape. No clue as to the identity
of the robber has been ascertained,
although he has been searched for
high and low in the direction he is
supposed to have gone when ho
left the house.—Asheville Citizen.
A SINGULAR FATALITY.—Reids-ville,
June 26.—This morning be
tween one and two o'clock Alfred
Powell, a young colored man, was
killed by a southbound freight
as it came iuto town. He was re-turning
from a party and had
seated himself on the railroad track
to rest and was doubtless over-powered
by a drunken stupor. A
strange fatality was evidenced iu
his death from the fact that his
father last summer lost an arm by-going
to sleep on the track and his
grandfather a few years since,
desperate from old age, deliberate-ly
threw himself in front of the
train and was killed. Both fatali-ties
occurred within fifty yards of
where Powell was killed this morn-ing.
It KIT BADLY MASHED.—While
on his way to Brooksido Park, bo
tween 8 and 9 o'clock last night, in
company with some friends, Mr.
George Burgin, one of the clever
clerks in Messrs. J. R. Ferrall &
Co's fancy grocery store, was acci
dentally pushed oil the platform of
the street car (which was very
much crowded) and one of the
wheels ran over his left foot, break-ing
his great toe and bally mash-ing
the three adjoining toes. He
was taken to the office of a physi-cian,
his foot dressed, and then
sent to the residence of Co!. F. A.
Olds, where he was reported as do-ing
as well as could be expected
to day, under the painful cirenm-stances.—
Raleigh Hitter.
WILSON NORMAL.—The Slate
Normal School at Wilson \\".l be-gin
on July 2nd. The faculty for
the session will be composed of
Prof. Silas E. Warren, of Wilson ;
Prof.C. 1). Mclver, of Raleigh:
Prof.GeorgeT. Winston, of Chapel
Hill: Prof. B. McK. Gooodwin, of
Iowa; Prof. W. A. Blair, of Win
ston; and Miss Lillian Arnold,
formerly of Greensboro, now ot
New York. Teachers who wish to
attend can get reduced rates on the
railroad. Board can bo had at
Wilson for (1 per day. $6 per week
or 812.50 for the whole term.—
Wilson Mirror.
A striking example of the ten
acity of life in the bhort leaf pine is
to be seen in the windlass of one of
our public wells. The tree was cut
last January and the trunk used
I
for a windlass for the well. It has I
not touched the ground for over
tour mouths, and there arc now i
green sprouts growing on it four
or five inches long.—Keyser item
in the Jonesboro Lender.
Homicide.
We learn from the Grceneville Reflector
ilint J. \V. Cox, n young Man in business
at Handocks X Roads, on last Friday
night shot a negro named 1'ork Cratch,
killing liini instantly. It seems that some
one had frequently been entering Mr.
Cox's store at night, stealing goods and
what money could be found. On Friday
night Cox secreted himself in the Btore.
and aboul 2 o'clock Cratch brokeintbe
door, and was shot dead on the spot.—

LATEST NEWS.
MY TELEGRAPH.
The Republican Ticket.
Washington, 1). C, June 26.—
The prevailing impression at the
Capital in respect to the Repub-lican
Presidential ticket is that
while it is eminently reputable
and respectable, it is about as
weak a one as could have been
nominated. The Senator's records
show that he opposed most if not
all the anti-Chinese legislation.
People are here who say that he
and they were fellow-members of
the Know-Nothing lodge, and
men from his own city say that
during the great strike for increas-ed
wages in 1877 he organized
and commanded; a battalion and
ordered his men to load their guns
with balls to shoot down the
strikers. He is known as one of
the greatest of nepotists, and
when in the Senate had nearly all
tiie dependent members of his
family in ofice. lie is very ex-clusive
and aristocratic, and was
defeated three times in his own
State—twice for Senator and once
for Governor.
Mr. Morton, when a represent-ative
from Xew York, was the
most aristocratic member of that
body, assumed a coat-of-arms,
made his servants wear ruffled
shirts and gold bands, and it was
as dificult to obtain an audience
with him at his own home as with
royalty itself.
Mr. Hopkins, the labor con-gressman
from Lynchburg dis-trict
of Virginia, says that unless
something is done to prevent it
the presidential contest of 1888
will be like that of 1S60, when
there were three tickets in the
field. The Labor party, he says,
is as solid as a mcat-axe and will
cast a suprisingly large vote.
In the pool-rooms here the bet-ting
is eight to five in favor of
Cleveland. Mr. Woodburn, the
Republican congressman from Ne-vada,
has, however, offered to bet
$2,000 that no man can name
three Northern States that will go
for Cleveland.
A Fatal Accident and a Wife-Murder.
Barmwell, W. Va.,Juue 20.—A serious
and fatal accident occurred this evening
ni the other end of the tunnel which con-nects
the Mill-Creek with the Elk-Horn
Valley. Five negro men were passing u
small empty car up the trestle when a
freight-car got away on the track above
them ami came down upon the party
with great velocity. The two cars and
all the men went to the ground with a
crash. 1 Ine man was killed andthe others
badly hurt, two of them perhaps fatally.
The cars were splintered. The names of
the men have not t ranspired.
A negro man at Cooper's, near here,
had a quarrel with his wife Sunday even-ing
and deliberately -hot her twice in the
head, killing her instantly. He then took
to the mountains. Some white men and
DI _ '■- went in pursuit, bul at last ac-counts
he had not been arrested.
FRENCH POLITENESS.—In all
the changes of time the Saxon aud
the Latin, on the opposite sides of
j the channel, have kept up the orig-j
inal difference in the matter of
1 politeness. The Anglo Saxon is
! not by nature gracious. Ilis home
; life shows little of the ''petit soins."
A husband 111 France moves out of
an easy chair for his wife, and sets
a loot stool for every lady. lie
hands her the morning paper, he
brings her a shawl it' there is dan
ger of a draught, he kisses her
hand when he comes in, and tries
to make himself agreeable to her
in the matter of the little optional
civilities. It has the most charm-ing
effect upon life, ami we Cud a
curious allusion to the politeness
observed by French sous toward
their mothers and fathers in one of
Moliere's comedies, where a prodi-gal
son encounters his father,
who conies to denounce him.
"Pray, sir, take a chair," says
Prodigal; '-you could scold me so
much more at your ease if you
were seated.7'

What In Going OB lit Winston.
■ rreepondeneeof the Daily Patriot. I
Winston, Jnne28.—Preparations
for the Fourth of July celebration
arc being rapidly and satisfactorily
completed. All indications point
to the biggest celebration we have
ever hud.
Mr. H. E. Fries leaves this morn-ing
for Washington, where he will
be joined by Senators Vance and
Ransom, on a visit to Gen. Wade
Hampton, who will be nrged to
come to Winston and deliver the
principal address next Wednesday.
It is believed that Senator Samp
ton will accept. So, come along,
all ye old "Oonfeds"—join in the
encampment, eat army victuals
once more before you die, and see
and hear and shake the warm hand
of one of the bravest aud greatest
of_our whilom leaders.
The camp will be pitched on that
lovely and most appropriate spot—
the Reservation—where there, is a
cool and sparkling spring of the
best of «</«« puru.
There will be other speakers be
sides lien. Hampton. Prof. W. A.
JJlair, a Hue talker, will make a .'>0-
minutes' address, and several ot
the prominent speakers, from vari-ous
places, wiio will be present,
will make short speeches.
We are expecting the Greensbo-ro
military and fire companies "be-yond
the peradventure of a doubt."
Indeed, i! was stated at a meeting
of the executive committee, held
Tuesday night, that it had been
definitely decided that they would
participate in the parade, which
will be over a mile long, embracing
50 floats representing every branch
of our industrial and mercantile
interests.
Let the bald eagle scream! And
let every living soul who can come
be present iu Winston to help cel-ebrate
the Gu-lo rious Fourth!
PENCIL TARINGS.
Mr. Natt. Wilson, of this place,
was marriee in Goldsboro yester-day
to Miss Rettie Spicer. Imme-diately
after the ceremony the
twain left for Niagara Falls.
Mr- Scranton, of the late firm of
Lee & Scranton, the paper manu-facturers
who recently failed in bu-siness
here, leaves to day for Eas-tern
N. C.
The Winston and Salem lire en-gines
will "turn the hose upon us"'
Tuesday night, preceding the day
of the celebration, and thoroughly
sprinkle the streets along the line
of march
The negro, Noah Scales, who was
stabbed a few days ago by Alex'r
Pride, another negro, and who it
was thought might die, is improv
iiie. LLEWXAM.
THE TICKET.—Rut the people of
this country will pass judgment
upon the Republican party, not up-on
the Republican candidates.
Were that party any longer worthy
of confidence: had it not departed
widely and hopelessly from the
guidance and the principles with
which it won its early triumphs:
were it actuated by an honest pur-pose
to make the people of the
United States more prosperous and
happy than its political opponents
can make then.: were its professions
more sincere, its policies wiser, and
its leaders purer, the New York
Times might not find it a distaste-ful
task to support the candidates,
commonplace as they are, who
were put in nomination yesterday.
The Times will give Cleveland and
Thurman its hearty support, and
will do what lies in its power, and
it is uot commonly an inactive news
paper in a presidential contest. tt>
make their majority susb that
theiv will be no doubt about it the
morning after election. —New York
