The commitment trial of George W. Allen for killing George Worthen, near Piedmont iu this county sometime ago,was taken up at Zebulon last Tuesday morning before Justices Coggins, Harrow and McDaniel, and finished late Wednesday afternoon A large number of people were in Zebulon to hear this trial. Cols. E. A. Stephens and Loyd Cleveland represented the State, and Cols. J. Y. Allen, E. F. 1 >u pree and J. F. Redding represent ed the defense. Loth sides put up a determined fight, 35 witnesses having been examined, and the judgment of the justices was anxiously awaited at the conclusion of the trial. Mr. Allen said he did not do the killing. This forced the State to carry the ent ire burden of showing circumstances and facts, estab lishing guilt, us well as circum stances and facts, showing mo tives for the act. The State showed the following outline of facts: 1. An agree ment between Allen and Wor then to meet at the pasture on Potato creek, where the latter was murdered. 2. For the purpose of laying out a fence, Allen went to the place appointed, and not only admits that fact, but was seen there by witnesses. Worthen also went to the appointed place, hitched his horse and went down into the pasture, where he was killed. Here the trouble come in, for there is no direct evidence that Allen went further than the buggy. He admits he went there and waited there three-fourths of an hour, in company with anoth er person, and Worthen not re turning he left. The State, therefore, had tp seek to show him down in the pas ture by tracks and by mud upon his clothes, and other means. This took up the time of the trial. Three witnesses swore that Allen had a croker sack under his arm and another witness testified that he had something the shape of a gun in the sack, and that he de livered the package to another party. All this Allen denied, leaving the issue squarly drawn as to whether or not he went on into the pasture and killed Worthen or not. The justices, after a patient con sideration, bound the accused over to superior court to answer the charge of murder. An application has been filed for bail before Judge Reagan and same will be heard as soon as Col. W. E. H. Searcy can prepare the evidence, which he took at the trial. Taylor~-Aycock. Miss Sallic B.

Peo ple from the surrounding country came in to hear the fiery senator from Tennessee in his grand ad dress. In a short speech of well chosen words and timely remarks, Congressman Charles L. Bartlett, introduced the speaker who held his audience spellbound for an hour with his eloquence and logic and reasoning powers. In the beginning of his speech Senator Carmack said: “Why continue to vex the public with questions upon which the people have already rendered their virdict? One great party has for its pro gram protective tariff, gold stand ard and colonialism, while the other has free trade, bimettalism and opposition to colonialism, and it is only through a proper discus sion of these great questions that the people can reach a solution ol them.” The senator then confin ed his remarks to colonialism, set ting first his opposition to the present administration and its policy with regard to the Philli phiues and our foreign posses sions. Touching this subject lie said: “in former t times, when a new state was added to the map and a star to the llag it could be truthfully said that it wus a sym bol of statehood, citizenship and the constitution, but now this was changed to conquered province, vassal subject and despotic pow er.” He then touched upon the trade of our colonies showing where we would not derive a ben efit and that it would be a draw back to the United States. Sena tor Carmack paid his respects to our strenuous executive, President Roosevelt, in no mincing terms and his sentiments on this line were heurtily applauded by the audience. In closing his speech Senator Carmack said: “1 long to see the nation turn away from the bloody gospel of the strenu ous life and from the bloody counsels of bloody men.” NEW CROP TURNIP TEED JUST RECEIVED AT Blackburn’s Drug store.
