IN THE MAGISTRATE'S OFFICE.
Negro Arrested for Stealing Cotton.
Three warrants were sworn out in
Magistrate Harby's office Wednes?
day morning for a negro named
Jack Johnson for stealing cotton al?
leged to belong to Mr. L. D. Jen?
ainga,
From the statements made In the
Magistrate's office, it seems that the
negro has been in the habit of pick?
ing cotton with the other hands dur?
ing the day and then when time
came to weigh up he would take hie
cotton to his house Instead of hav?
ing it carried up to be weighed.
It was claimed that this had gone
on for some time and when John?
son was seen at a gin house with
about one thousand pounds of cot?
ton the warrant was sworn out for
him and he was arrested and brought
to town. ,

RIG EIRE AT ALCOLU.
From The Daily Item, Sept 30.
The D. W. Alderman & Sons Com?
pany ,of Aueolu, lont practically all
of their saw mill plant by a fire,
which originated in the saw mill
building about 4 a. m. from some un?
known cause, and which did damage
to the amount of at least $65,000.
This loss was all practically covered
by Insurance and, besides tho loss of
time from work and in installing
new machinery and erecting a new
building the firm will not suffer con?
siderable hardship.
The fire originated in the saw mill
heading and as it was distant from
the engine house and boiler rooms,
it is Impossible to say how It was
started. An Investigation was mado
but resulted In no clearance of the
mystery. As the inside of the build?
ing, which was a big frame struc?
ture valued at about $15,000, was ex?
tremely dry the fire burned rapidly and
as there were few persons about at
the time, between 4 and 5 o'clock,
It soon gained such headway that It
could not be checked. The rain of
the night l>efore had so soaked the
outsldes of the surroudlng buildings
and the lumber In the vicinity that
all of them were saved. The ma
? hlnery destroyed is estimated as
worth about S?O.OOO. Tho dry kilns
and the planing mills were not Injur?
ed, owing to their damp condition
and the good work of those on the
ground who worked faithfully to
keep the flames from spreading.
As soon as adjustments are
settled with Um Insurance ocmpanles
?long will be taken to replace the
building and to re-lnstall tho machin?
ery. As the whole loss by fire wai
covered by insurance, tho principal
loss for the Alderman firm will be
that sustained by the cessation of
work and the time consumed In re?
minding and replacing tho machinery,
No one was Injured In the fire.

The Jewish New Year.
From The Daily Item. Sept. 30.
On Monday evening Oct. 3rd will
be ushered In, and on Tuesday, Oct.
4th the Jewish people all the world
over frill celebrate the New Year's
day of the year 5671 a. m. The Jew?
ish New Year's day, unlike that of
all other religions falls on the first
day of the seventh month in the
Hebrew calendar year, and Is a sol?
emn and holy season. It occurs In
the fall of the year to suggest that
as the autumn season, showing the
diminution of life in physical nature,
touches the deeper chords along the
harpstrlngs of the human heart and
awakens serious thought In the
minds of men; even so the New
Year's day is a solemn season calcu?
lated to stir the heart and conscience
to a fuller recognition of life's true
end and aim. It is to bring home to
the Jew thet truth of the rapid flight
of time, to remind him that he is
but a stranger and a sojourner here
on earth, and to admonish him that
as the. stirring scenes of the physical
life gradually recede there shall open
to him broad and beautiful vistas of
the spiritual life. Thus the New
Year in Israel is a holy day devoted
to the needs of the soul which longs
for God and seeks to live In His pres?
ence the high and holy life. It is a
day of chastened memories, of high
endeavor and of holy aspirations; a
day for self amendments and recon?
ciliation with God and man. In
keeping with the solemn significance
of the New Year's day, the service of
the Synagogue is beautiful indeed
and soul-Inspiring. The devotions of
the Temple on this day are touch?
ing even as they are heart-winning.
For this reason, no doubt, the Jew?
ish people everywhere?no mattter
what their condition may be?on
this day come flocking to the Syna?
gogue to unite as one family in wor?
shipping the God of their fathers,
who ruloth In time and all eternity.
In the Temple on Church Street,
New Year's services will be held ou
Monday evening at 8 o'clock, and on
Tuesday -morning at 10 o'clock. Dr.
Klein will preach both evening and
morning.

DR. B. R. DIXON DEAD.
Auditor of State of North Cnxolinu
for Ten Years?Wuh Once Pastor
of Sum tor Methodist Church.
Columbia, Sept. 29.?The death of
Dr. Benjamin Franklin Dlxon, audi?
tor of the State of North Carolina.
Monday night will recall to the
minds of some of the older members
of the South Carolina Methodist con- I
ference the fact that Dr. Dixon was |
for two years or more connected
with this conference. At the close
of the Civil war, Mr. Dixon, who was
a captain in the Confederate army at
twenty, taught school a year or two
and then passed the examination of
tho theological board of the South
Carolina conference. His first
charge was at Sumter, where he re?
mained a short while before being
transferred to North Carolina. His
voice soon gave him trouble and he
took up medicine, becoming a suc?
cessful practitioner. Dr. Dlxon was
elected to the North Carolina legis?
lature, was several times spoken of
as a candidate for governor, and was
elected State auditor three times. He
had been serving ten years in all
when he died suddenly In a hospital
, in Raleigh.
Confederate veteran himself?he
was wounded three times?Capt.
Dlxon volunteered In the Spanish
American war, and retired with the
rank of major. He knew more Con?
federate history perhaps than any
other man in North Carolina, and he
was a real friend of the men who
fought for the South.
The body was buried this afternoon
in Oakland cemetery, Raleigh, the
services being conducted by the
Masons. The famous Confederate
Drum corps of Raleigh, only two
members of which are living, help?
ed officiate at the funeral. Dr. Dix?
on is survived by a wife and three
children.
