for the murder of Dr-
Payne brought in a verdict of not
guilty.

that not even a jury could stifle
their consciences to bring in
of less guilty than murder

might infer, that he committed
the deed in a passion, not having
cooled off from the previous
Just such verdicts as this do
more to encourage lynching than

which exists even in the most de
We might have thought differ-
about this trial had we been
present and heard and seen all,
but from the evidence as report-
ed we believe the universal
is that ought to
be punished and that not very
lightly. The law ought to be more
rigidly enforced in these grave
offenses- Until it is done we may
expect people to take the law into

in a private letter, and
of that I am not very certain,
while every natural advantage
otherwise that could be desired,
is in favor. The dis-
advantage referred to, is the
of our climate- With the

about the 18th of Sept- to the 28th
the time of the autumnal
the climate is just as
good for tobacco as any

short and taken in comparison

be very easily adjusted.

suggested that tho people of

the bridge is built the
Pitt and Greene

Commissioners, would not repair

Commissioners of Greene, would

that the bridge was all right but
the on the Greene side
was in such condition that a load
could be pulled over it and
that Mr. J. W- Dixon who was
overseer of the road would in a

The tree which is known to us
tin- name of the laurel was held in
high honor by the ancient Greeks
and Romans, says Rev. A. E.
in Golden Days. They chose it as
u reward for virtue and valor, and
it was considered the symbol of
these excellent qualities. laurel
branch was used as an instrument of
in their religious
monies. If leaves cracked loudly
when thrown into fire it was
considered a good omen, and if they
made but little noise it was the re-
verse. To secure pleasant dreams
all that was upon retiring
at night was to put a few laurel
leaves at the head of the bed.
If were planted before the
u or of a house was secure from
influences. Aside from
superstitious dependence upon the
plant It had a place in their code of
medicines. of the leaves
were specific cures for many com-
plaints, while the sap of the tree was
considered by them as an excellent
antidote for poison, and was also used
to cure-epilepsy. this use in
medicine arose the of
the of the
god of medicine, with laurel.
We are told by Juvenal that when-
ever any happy event took place It
was the custom the house
with laurel as a token of the event,
just as we now decorate our houses
with holly on day. The
laurel was especially dedicated to
Apollo consequence of the gen-
belief that it was he who
Conferred upon men the gifts of
poetry and prophecy.
fells us that one of the priests of
this god was always crowned with
laurel, and a laurel crown was the
reward for those who competed in
the games which were held in honor
of the god.
The custom of binding the brows of
conquerors with laurel was a very
ancient one It is described as ex-
at the lime of and
Romans adopted it at an early period,
using t chiefly in their triumphal
ceremonies. The victorious general
not only wore it on his forehead, but
also carried a sprig of tree his
hand. Sometimes this crown was
gold, and merely the form of
laurel.
When the messengers were dis-
patched to tell the news of a victory
laurel was placed on the points of
their javelins, in order that who
saw them might know the news they
bore.
The death of was
announced to Pompey by a Sprig of
laurel. It was also used to or-
letters and tablets contain-
news of this kind. Victorious
ships were decorated with it, as
were those about depart oil some
glorious expedition. The laurel was
placed at the stern of the vessel, be-
cause there were the tutelary gods
of the ship, and it was to these gods
that the sailors prayed when a storm
threatened to destroy them.
The laurel was also a sign of peace
and friendship. In the midst of a
light a soldier would offer it to his
enemy as a sign that ho
rendered and demanded quarter.
Lastly, the laurel was bound about
the brows of the dead who had
distinguished themselves battle

its chief beauty is its mouth. It
would kill a pie-eater with envy.
The jaws arc about seven inches
and the extent to which
can be opened is limited only
by the amount of room there is in
which to open it. There are three
rows of teeth, the first being about
an inch and different from any
teeth which any of the fishermen
have ever seen. They are not saw-

pointed, like a sand shark's, but arc

The Saving of Our Grand Old Flag
at
From, time immemorial the armies
of every warlike people have apt the
highest value upon the standards
they bore to battle. To guard one's
own, Dag against capture is the
pride, to flag of one's
enemy the ambition, of every valiant
soldier. In consequence, in every
war bet ween peoples of military
record, of daring performed by
color bearers are honorably common.
The civil war was full of such
dents. Out of very many, two or
three stand as especially note-
worthy.
One occurred at
the day when half the brigades of
and lay on the
bloody slope leading up to the con-
federate Among
the assaulting regiments, was the
Fifth New Hampshire, and it lost
of men who made the
charge. The survivors fell back
sullenly behind tho fence, within
easy of confederate rifle
pits. Just before reaching it the
last of the color guard was shot and
the flag fell in the open.
A Capt. instantly ran out
to capture it, and as be reached it
was shot through the heart; another
captain, Murray, made the same
attempt and was also killed, and so
was a third, Moore. Several private
soldiers met a like fate. They were
all killed close to the flag, and their
dead bodies across one another.
Taking advantage of this
works, Lieut. crawled
from behind the fence to the colors,
and bore back the blood-won
