It is stated that Attorney General

a place on the new Circuit

wanted the appointment himself
and asked Miller for his support.
After this the republicans are not
to have it all way in Ohio,
as they have seemed to do for awhile
since their campaign has in
full blast and their speakers have
been industriously pushing aside
the tariff question, Bat now all this
is to be changed and the democrat-
campaign, just opened, is to be
made an aggressive one with the
tariff as the uppermost question.

Why Sent Girls Lot Power on Ac-
It is impossible for any girl or
woman to be happy, or even satisfied
with herself, if some time in early-
life she fails to possess the gift of
attracting and retaining the love of
desirable wooer.
Many beautiful young ladies who
are less favored with than
their more comely sisters, wonder
what the cause of this neglect can
be; tor there are very few who do not

When girls find that good looks
alone do not better their chances,
and stop imagining as well that every
one they meet is in love with them,
they learn some things beneficial;
among them, that the majority of
men prefer a quiet, simple style of
beauty to that of a conspicuous loud-
styled belle of fashion.
Many a courtship baa been broken
off just on the even of a much-wished

that the principals have changed
their minds. Had they owned the

that the attraction had died out,
leaving no warmth in their hearts for
each other.
Hardly anything is more mortify-
to a girl than to know that she
has lost a without really
why it was so; that for
years wasted her time and youth
in his society, and, unfortunately,
all her friends and acquaintances
supposed she had won his heart
long ago.
The bare shock to women who
have suffered losses of affection is
quite apt to cause a loss of faith in
own charms, as well as to pro-
duce a much disturbed mind.
The only relief they find is sought
in travel, change of scene people.
It does not always happen that girls
who mingle constantly in society are
the most interesting or able to draw
to their sides the type of manhood

are fitted for them.

A great many girls think it quite
tho proper thing to be brilliant in
special company, and do not study
the best way to make visitors per-
at ease to at when-
ever they cross the threshold. No
doubt there is not one of those girls
out of a dozen who finds out her mis-
take until the visits of her male
friends become less frequent, if they
do not cease altogether. When
lovers learn each other's ways they
either become more attracted or find
out something unsuitable in their
tastes or ideas in common, or per-
haps in their personal habits.
In the place, to feel at ease
every person should see that his or
her clothes fit and look well. One
should always dress becomingly, yet
not expensively. Some-
times a trivial neglect of their per-
appearance turns the tide of
affection.
Another reason why some of the
fair sex attract at first and lose their
power afterward is that they assume
a forward, gay mannerism in enter-.

themselves into believing is
vivacious and Others

But unwise arguments, self-boast-
clamorous talk, flattery, and
envious gossip, these things men de-
test in the fair sex.
Every man hopes it will some day
be hi to meet and wed a
lovely woman who takes pleasure in
pleasing him, keeps his temper
ruffled, has tact enough not to keep
friends and himself in hot water, but
has a knack of devising harmonious
pleasures for his spare moments
and can cleverly bridge over many
trying situations. These are the
gifts that men and value

All persons have their ideas, their

spells of responsive sympathy;
if at such times they chance to meet
some responsive one who can touch
the reverberating chord, they pro-

Sometimes a new arrival among one's

against the Time of Trial,
As no knows when the hour
of his opportunity will come, so no
man knows when the storm of his
temptation will suddenly burst upon
him. There is no science which can
predict the tempests to which every
human life is exposed; there is no
code of signals warning of approach-
peril. The strain upon
comes often like a tropical storm,
which rises without warning over a
cloudless horizon or bursts without
the possibility of escape from a
ant sky. There is only one way in
which a man can prepare for these
sudden and critical strains which are
to test the very tissue of his
and that la the flawless building
into truth and righteousness. The
oak survives the tempest by virtue of
the daily accretions of strength
which have entered into it year by
year; the man survives the swift and
tumultuous advance of temptation
by virtue of the moral power which,
almost unconsciously, be has slowly
accumulated from day to day. It is
true that sometimes the strong man
suddenly breaks under the strain of
instant passion; but, as n rule, the
man who breaks is a man in whom
the signs of disintegration were
already evident. The tree which
fails in the of the summer
day was rotten within; as a rule
the man who suddenly collapses
morally brings to light a process of
decay which has long been going on
within him. lie who is faithful to
hour hour is all the while
preparing to the storm that may
sometime burst upon him.
storm is certain to come. No human
life is so sheltered it escapes
those great temptations which.
resisted, play havoc with a man's
career. He who lives without the
thought of this possibility is as
criminally unwise as the captain
would be who should give up all care
of bis ship because, at the moment,
waters were smooth and the skies
were fair. To prepare for peril ought
to be the constant solicitude of every
man, and this preparation is nothing
more than the daily rectitude which
becomes first a habit and then a per-
and imperishable character.

Pitt county needed just such a
court as we have had so far, and
we are truly glad that Judge
fearless, upright, just,
Christian like man that he is, held
it. The commendations of such a
man cannot be too great, and the
law abiding citizens of this
are under lasting obligations to
him for the results which must in-
follow the holding of this
court.
THE MURDER TRIAL.
Convicted Sentence
to Bug December 4th.
Court has been in progress for
the past ten days. A great deal
of business has been done.
has held the balances and
many a criminal has paid and is
now paying the penalty of a
lated law. It has been many a
year since Pitt county has had
such a court as this one. More
has evidently been done for the
suppression of crime and the
fusion of morality, for good gov-
and obedience to law,
than was ever accomplished here
before. A large part of this has
been done through the charges
and comments of Judge
First came his charge to the Grand
Jury. We referred briefly to this
last week. This has been supple-
by succeeding charges
and comments that show it was
but the beginning of a of
such charges which were to, in a
largo measure, revolutionize the
existing opinions of even law
abiding citizens as to the justice,
aims, objects and ends of the law
and the manner and obligation of
obeying it, and the untold and
good which would re-
to each citizen and the com-
at by the proper ob-
of its requirements. We
heard a minister say from his
pit during the past week that the
Grand Jury charge was the best
he ever heard, that it contained
more law, more morality and
more than all the
charges to juries to which he ever
listened and in consequence was
worth more to the people and
good government.
Some of the citizens of the town
were arraigned before Judge
Connor for playing cards during
the week. His lecture to them
was full of sound, solid, whole-
some admonitions, and must have
made them resolve never again to
indulge in this habit, so fruitful
in demoralizing its victims. He
advised them if they could not
make a living by their present
they had better
others in which could, and
let gambling alone. Not only
these but many others who heard
his remarks must have seen the
evil to which such a course leads.
We heard one of the parties re-
mark afterwards that he felt fully
compensated for being arraigned
in the benefit derived from the
lecture. This way of enforcing
the law makes men better and
makes them do right because it is
right and not alone through fear.
Another instance we recall now
was the to the in
reference to the proper raising of
their children, forth by a
case then under consideration-
He told them they could see from
what was then transpiring that the
white people were to help
them if they would do right. He
commended the action of the
father in prosecuting the destroy-
of bis daughter's virtue and he
was glad to see it. It will be a long
time before those who were pres-
To-morrow the Exposition opens
at Nearly nil of the
counties in the State will have an
exhibit there under the super-
vision of some representative.
Never before has the State had
such an opportunity to advertise
resources, and we are proud
to know that she has aroused her
self and appreciates the situation.
All the available space in the
buildings has been taken and well
filled to its utmost capacity and
fancy prices are being paid by
Northern people for space in the
grounds. Some will erect build-
and others will use tents.
The officials say the Exposition
will be bigger than they had ever
hoped it be and that it
grows all the while. There will
be many features of interest out-
side of the exhibit, such as balloon
ascensions, races, ball playing
by Cherokee

exhibitions, a grand Musical
and a baby show daily from
noon to o'clock P. M., the
baby to receive a silver

one cent a mile and all of North

of the privilege they have of gain
information as to the State s

There will be one blank in the
Exposition to all of the Pitt conn
people who visit it. They will
look in vain to see anything done
by their county to show to the
world that her resources are equal,
if not superior, to any county in
the State. Think of a county that

The case against George Dudley
for murder was tried on Thursday of
last week. The special
drawn was called in and the
following jury selected to sit upon
the W. A. Stokes, Charles
E. C. Smith, Jacob Joyner,
B. A. Davenport,
ton, Jr. W. Allen, W. W. Little.
E. J. Lang, E. C. W R.
Turner and W. James.
Peter Clark was the principal wit-
for He that
on the of May he with
Irvin Joyner, George Dudley and
Redmond Blow was at the latter's
house. George and Redmond played
cards and got into a dispute over
cents in the progress of the game.
George said the cents belonged to
him and Redmond said he was
liar. George asked Redmond if be
did not like it. Redmond said no.
George was sitting in rocking chair
and Redmond was standing over him
with bands on his hips
George said, well you take revenge
out me, here I am. Redmond said
no like you too well to hurt you.
Redmond turned off. George jumped
up out of his chair and cut at him
but did not hit him. He then caught
hold of Redmond with his left arm
and backed up lo the side of the
and stuck his la him.
Witness said he ran out and Red-
called him back and said that
George had cut him, to go for the
doctor. Witness went back in the
house. George and Redmond were
standing at the table at which
had been playing cards. Redmond
was pulling the shirt out of the bole
made in his body by the knife. He
said, George sec what you have done.
George said you made me do it, I am
sorry tor it, crime and go for the doc-
tor and I will pay all doctor bills.
They started toward the door and
Redmond fell on bis . and said
be was too weak to go. Witness
started for Dr. Zeno Brown and
George overtook him and went
on together. George called doc-
tor and told him to come down that
Redmond bad cut himself. Doctor
came down asked George how
I Redmond got cut. George said lie
fell on his knife. They all started to
Redmond's and when about half way
George left them. When witness
and doctor reached Redmond's,
George and Redmond's grandfather
were there. Dr. Brown asked Red-
bow he got cut. George an-
that he fell on his knife.
Redmond's grandmother came in and
asked witness how he got cut.
George answered and said that he
fell on bis knife. George told the
doctor to attend lo Redmond and he,
George, would pay for it. Witness
told Redmond to tell the doctor how
he got cut. doctor was to come
-gain in morning.
Jesse L. Mayo, officer who
rested the prisoner near Richmond,
and the grandfather of deceased were
put upon the stand but
was not of much importance.
Dr. Zeno Brown testified that be
was called to see Redmond Blow by
George Dudley and Peter Clark.
George got back first. Found Red-
on the floor wounded with a
cut in the abdomen. Saw him the
next day, he was worse. The wound
caused bis death. Redmond said lie
fell on his knife and cut him-. If.
Told it three limes. Do not think it
possible he could have made the
wound himself. Redmond said he
had the in bis pants pocket.
Had the knife been in his vest pocket
the wound would have been higher
up. pants pockets were very
deep. The wound was cross ways
the body.
The State rested the case here.
The defense had no witness. In the
argument before the jury speeches
were made by Solicitor Woodard
and Col. G. W. Johnston for the
prosecution, and by Mr. F. G. James
and Col. Harry Skinner the
In his instructions to the jury
Judge Connor said, from a
of the whole of the

deceased was known by and bore the
name of Redmond Blow and that he

stances testified to by Peter Clark,
only witness introduced and

oner at the bar is guilty of murder.
There is no evidence tending to ex-
the act or mitigate offense
to manslaughter. If, however, your
minds are not brought to a full con.
that a person by the name of
Redmond Blow bas come to bis death
or that if such a person has come to
his death, it was from s wound in-
by the prisoner, that is if
your minds are left in doubt whether
the wound was inflicted by de-
ceased upon himself by falling upon
his knife or was inflicted by the
oner or by other person, you
should give to prisoner the
fit of the doubt and acquit You
should carefully consider whole
of evidence, the character and
bearing of the witnesses, their re-
to the deceased, and the
per, bias or interest of witnesses.
You should not permit any feeling of
sympathy for or prejudice against the
prisoner or deceased to affect
your verdict. Yon should not permit
the consideration of the effect of your
verdict to affect minds, except
to cause you to examine and
gate testimony with great care
and arrive st your conclusion with
caution.
The case was given to the jury
about o'clock Thursday evening.
They remained in consultation until
o'clock Friday evening when a
guilty was returned.
The prisoner was brought before
court Saturday afternoon and bis
counsel offered two motions relative
to errors. These were overruled by
his Honor who proceeded to pass
sentence upon the prisoner. His
lecture before sen-
is spoken elsewhere in this
paper. The sentence of court
was that George Dudley be taken to
the jail of Pitt county there to re-
main until Friday, the 4th day
December, of the present year and
on that day to be taken by the Sheriff

Notice was given by the prisoner's
counsel that an appeal would be
taken to the Supreme Court, but up
