Raleigh Gets Fast Through Line to Atlanta and Other News
The May 9 1893 issue notes the Seaboard Air Line’s first fast through trip from New York to Atlanta making Raleigh a through station. It reports the death of Mus Devew wife of Chauncey Devew, alleged poisoning of her, and Canty Le Harris’s life for a life sentence. White Caps threaten Brookhaven Mississippi, with martial law and troops ordered to fire on mobs. Editorials advocate democracy, urging Fayetteville officials to seek President Cleveland’s attention on postmaster politics. The report also commends North Carolina physicians at the State Medical Society meeting and laments presidential patronage limits, urging a measured approach to appointments.
