Gold Brick Men Remain in the Pen-itentiary.
The habeas corpus proceedings of
Howard, Hawley and Daley, the gold
brick prisoners from this county con-fined
in the penitentiary, came up be-fore
Judge Purnell, of the Federal
oourt, at Raleigh, Saturday. The pris-oners
were represented by Judge W.
P. Bynum, Jr., of this city, and L. A.
Gilmore, of Chicago. Solicitor Brooks,
of this city, and Judge T. B. Womack,
of Raleigh, appeared for the state.
The contention of the prisoners was
that they had violated no North Caro-lina
law and that they did not swindle
Paul Garrett, as no money was passpd;
that the jury that convicted tbem was
improperly drawn, and that the sent-ences
of ten and seven years in the
penitentiary were not authorized by
law.
In dismissing the habeas corpus pro-ceedings
and remanding the prisoners
to the penitentiary Judge Purnell said
the contention upon which adischarge
was asked was reduced to the three
following points:
1st. The way in which the jury was
seleoted; that this method was, accord-ing
to assertions, made irregular, but if
reports be true, it was adopted by local
politicians to poison the foundations of
justice; that the prisoners should have
during their trial taken advantage of
thisirregularity.ifitexisted as claimed,
but that the Supreme court had re-viewed
the legality of such selectionof
the jury, and he declined to act on this
ground.

All of our buyers have had a good
Christmas and were back in their
places promptly when the sale bell
rang on Monday morning.
Prices on all grades are fully as high
as they were before the holidays and
we are expecting a lot of tobacco, as
we are having some nice weather now
for handling it. All of our buyers ex-tend
thanks to you for past favors and
wish you a happy and prosperous new
year.

Death of Mr. Robert Kennett.
Mr. Robert Kennett, a well known
citizen of Fentress township, died at
his home near Pleasant Garden last
Thursday after, a lingering illness.
He suffered from lung trouble and had
been in feeble haalth for the pasteigTTt
or ten years, being confined to the
house much of the time. Hjs death
was not unexpected.
Mr. Kennett was in the forty-eighth
year of his age and had never been
married. He was a quiet, unassuming
gentleman, of simple tastes and habits,
and had many warm friends. He was
a well read man and a most interesting
conversationalist. When attacked by
lung trouble Mr. Kennett went to Ari-zona
and spent some time, after which
he went to Florida. Failing to receive
any permanent relief, he returned
home to spend the remainder of his
jdays with loved ones and friends.
The funeral was held at the Pleasant
