Editor and Business M yeari adVaice. A Y0UNG KILLED. BY A I.OCOMOTIVK OK THE N ft RAILROAD. A scd accident occurred Mon day morning at the Norfolk & Southern railroad wharf at Berk ley, a., by which Walter Mor-j - w.v, v-mpiu)c 01 me com pany, lost his life. About o-in , - jam engine was I backing down to the wharf, when :by some means Mr. Morrisett, 1 who was standing on the step of : the tender, lost his footino- a fell. Two wheels of the tender passed over him, killing him al most instantly. The deceased was a native of f i amuen county, X. C, and had only been living in Berkley about twelve months. COULD NOT LOSE HER. A PLUCKY TAR HEEL WIFE FIGHTS DIVORCE SUIT IN DAKOTA. A special from Fargo, North Dakota, says: North Carolina an a large number of the peo pic of the South will be interest ed to learn that Mrs. Bidwell, 1 gritty woman, has caused a sen sauon m the divorce colony of Dakotas by acknowledging ier willingness to allow her husband to secure a divorce decree on the payment of $10,000. He at first offered her $7,500, but she held out for the extra $2,500 to the end j that success perched on her ban ner, though the sum is paltry when the pater has a fat pocket book. She will now exert no more effort to defend the action and the divorce will in all probx arumy be granted on the grounds of desertion. The home of this couple was Franklin, N. C. Bidwell came nere ten mouths ago and made preparations to get a divorce un der the resident line of procedure. His wife was a trifle too brilliant for him, however, for, when he least expected it, she bobbed up serenely, having traced him, with the skill of a detective, all the way North. She confronted liiin in ooiirt with hpr ntrnriiv I and asked for $150 lawyers fees and $15 a week alimony. Here Bidwell millionaire that he is sprung of little game of his own. lie had the hearing on the order adjourned and slyly packed his goods together and walked over the bridge to More head, where, under the Minne sota laws, he was safe f:om his wife's demands. He did not re main long there, though, skip ping out in a day or two. Mrs. Bidwell's wit worked with sin gular regularity and she followed him across the country, alone and unaided, to Springfield, Mass. Here he avoided her re turning to Fargo by a coup de etat. Mrs. Bidwell was also equal to the occasion. She hap pened to return to the city about the same time. Seeing that he could not down the brave little woman, he went away again, of fering his wife $7,500 before hand if she would allow him to nrnreed without contesting the v . case. Negotiations have ever since j been conducted from afar with the result told in the foregoing. Some few weeks ago Mrs. Bid well found herself here without a penny. With womanly spirit she advertised for a situation, and has since been working as a house-maid for one of the select lamilies, and now every one who rings the bell invariably asks after their departure, "Who is that dignified woman that waits on the door? They clo not know it is the wife of a million aire. An Immense Forest Fire. An immense forest fire is rag ing in the vicinity of Santa Cruz, Cal. As far as the eye can reach the forest is a mass of flames. The fire covers over ten square miles and is still spread ing, being beyond control. The fire is now within two miles of the powder works, where five hundred tons of powder are stored. The road between Pin con and Felton is impassable from burning logs and trees, and railroad communication is inter rupted. The damage at present cannot be estimated, but it will be enormous.

I SOME GOOD READING. r-KCLUARLY APPROPRIATE AND APPLICABLE TO OUR PEOPLE. i The following from the South- j port Leader is so full of truth! that we publish it as peculiarly appropriate and applicable to our town just now. The town or city whose citi zens are not united upon all mat ters which go to build up and increase the prosperity of their place, will never see their own town developed. In the co operation of the peo ple of any community for its de- 1 . vciopment there are several mvoivea. me coming wgeuier upon a common basis o; the citizens of a place, to agree unite, and then work out the plan determined upon, means a sue rocct,, 1 1. r oiui lcsun. -o-operation oi the citizeus of a place indicates laith and trust among its oeoole and confidence in the possibilities 01 the development of the natural resources of the place It is not alone sufficient that a town has natural resources. Its people must either themselves take advantage, and increase what nature has done or if un able of themselves to do so, to bring in such capital and labor, which joined to their own, will produce results beneficial to all interested. Such a union once happily be gun should be encreased into a firm and unchangeable desire no on the people of the community to continue in a joint fellowship of action on every question which means the welfare and prosperity of the town and coun try. The measure of citienshin should be gauged not by any po litical party, there ought to be no politics in municipal affairs, but by the fidelity and cffoit of every man or woman who labors in behalf of the upbuilding of the town. The co-operation which means success in material benefits, mean success in educational and healthy development along all lines for the present generation and very much more for future generations. The upbuilding in the present by co-operation, will see an in creasing growth with each suc ceeding year, and with the years the benefits arising irom this who are to day but feeble advos cates of the union in sentiment, purpose and action of the people of a city, for its development. A REVOLTING pRDER. COMMITTED ON A LUMBER LADEN SCHOONER FROM NORFOLK TO WASHINGTON. The Norfolk Virginian of the 25th says: Details ot the mur der on the Potomac make the affair one of considerable atrocity, j The schooner on which the j crime was committed was tne John A. Dixon, under command of Capt. Benjamin P Revill, of Baltimore. The vessell left Nor folk on the 18th inst., with a cargo of lumber consigned by the Cummer Lumber Co., to Frank Libbey & Co., of Washington. While the schooner was under way a quarrel 1 arose between the captain and a colored mate, dur ing which the captain drew his gun on him. This angered the negro and as the captain was coming out of the hatch he dealt him several blows on the head .with a marlin spike. The captain did not die for sometime after the fatal blows were struck. One of the colored men on the boat went to the dy ing man and did everything in power to save him. The mate, after killing the captain.remark- ed that "he guessed that he had better get out of this," and pack ing his valise, left in the schoon ers small boat. Horace F. John son, of Baltimore, a friend of the murdered man, went to Wash ing yesterday with an undertak er to take charge of the remains. The crew of the schooner was shipped in this city by Shipping Commissioner A. M. Bullock on September 17th and iSth, and a r1p;rrirtion of them has been w - ' - - furnished the police of this city. They are John Small, heights feet 10 inches, and Ed. Stevens, the samehight, both of Virginia, and A. B. Johnson, hight, 5 feet 8 inches, of North Carolina. Capt. Revill was w7ell known in this city, and is highly spoken of. Located in the Finest Fish, Truck and Farming EDENTON, N. C. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 271895. ; i l 1 U-j?mw&&M4 ' : The A. S. Nav.

The past seven or ten days have been the most abnormal 011 record in North Carolina during September, the temperature averaging 15 de grees daily above normal, the maximum temperatures ranging from 90 in the mountain sections to 100 in the eastern. The per centage of moisture is the lowest ever recorded here, in summer. The drought is serious and is in juring all growing crops. The tanners say great numbers of the UDoer bolls of cotton have fallen off, that the lower bolls are all opening at once and that the entire crop will be open in three weeks. It is estimated that the damage to the crop in the past ten days is 10 per cent. The rice crop is being harvested with a fine yield. Late corn is cut short.

Some newspaper readers seem to think that they must not sub scribe for a newspaper the editor of which has opinions which in some respects may differ from those which they themselves have formed.

And yet the editor is expected to formulate opinions which shall harmonize with the ideas that several thou sand readers entertain. Norris town Review. Treasure in an Old Violin.

Two years ago his uncle died at Washington city. Pie was supposed t o have some money saved up and as McGuire was his only heir he anticipated a little fortune. When his will was opened it was found he had left him nothing but an old vio lin. McGuire was so indignant that he would not pay the ex pressage on it to Kansas. A few- nights ago he dreamed the fiddle was full of money. He told his wife, who believes in dreams, and she appropriated $3 out of her egg money to pay the charges. It arrived Tuesday and when examined was found to contain $1,800 in money and deed to 160 acres oi land in Virerinia. There was not a word of explanation with it. i BUTLER DENOUNCES SENA- TOR TILLMAN. HI-: CALLS HIM A THIEF AND CONSTITUTIONAL LIAR. ! Gen. M. C. Butler, of South; j Carolina, has given out the fol- j lowing card with reference to : Tillman's attack cn him in a . j speech in the Constitutional con I vention recently held in Colum bia : "I have denounced Senator! Tillman to his face as a liar, a! coward and a thict, and I cannot 1 keep up with a constitutional liar. If I should kick him now,! J he would probably run off and - 1 i,owl and have me indicted for assiult and battery. His state ments concerning me in the con vention on Monday were a tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end." "A Trip Suggested to Northern Prospectors." Under this caption the able editor of the Wil. Afessenger writes the following interesting article: esoiui Carolina oners very c. traordiny advantages and oppor tunities to Northern investors and capitalists. If an hundred or five hundred Northern men would enter our State by way of Elizabeth City, and thence ex plore the Albemarle section, so fertile, so wonderfully watered, and then take the section lying along the Washington, New Berne, route to Washington, and after seeing the attractive points x in each county would then go up the Cape Fear and take in the entire Western section as far as the Tennessee line, and after this exploration, next make a tour of Raleigh, as far as taking in the counties Warren, and thence returning to Raleigh would return to Wil mington by the way of Hamlet, they would view important parts, although necessarily failing to see some of the finest, greatest prospect along the line of Wil mington and Weldon railway to Weldon,aud thence go through Northampton and Bertie coun ties by way of water to Edenton and thence through the sounds and canal to Norfolk. What a revelation of variety of climate, soil, products and capabilities wTould strike the eye and arrest attention! T hat marvelous water power; what great fishing and oyster resources; what vast opportunitiesfor profitable truck ing; what splendid com and wheat and tobacco resources; what fine chances for rice grow ing and manufacturing of fine woods into carriages and adorn ments for homes and public buildings and furniture in end- ess variety; what rich mines of coal and iron and minerals of precious kinds; what a vast area that could be profitably utilized for the growth of the best and inest flavored fruits apples, pears, grapes, figs, cherries, etc -1 all these and other vast advans tages would be made to appear.
