The arrest of the negro outlaw, George
Applewhite, in this ' town yesterday after
noon, cansed : considerable ; excitement.
Applewhite has been living here for two or
more; years, under the, .name : pf ; William
Jackson.. .r, . .. ? ;...Vs M- . ; . '.r
His arrest waaicffected by William Free
man, colored, bf the town police ana not
by t'iie' Sheriff of ; Wayne, as repoiied by
telegraph. . ; . : c , ;;) . iu.u;o3
, I had an interview with Freeman ihis
morning; : In reply, to a question ,.of mine
as to there being any doubt of Applewhite's
identity, the sable officer replied, sar;
dar ain't no mo' doubt 'bout' de 'faek dan
dar is-'bout 'ray beln' de man de white folks
calls William Freeman;" The lucidness of
this reply will be seen at once.: k
., William, as a matter, of course, expects
the reward, which, I am told, amounts to
several thousand dollars. William, wiil
soon be a wealthy man a 1 bloated' black
aristocrat nb j longer revolving . around
the lazzaronj of the town, but the lazzaroni
of the town revelving around him in the
social system.' ' ' '-'-j '.'':''v
Applewhite is closely, confined in the
county jail here, where he awaits the arri
val of the Sheriff of Robeson,
rwho is ex-
pecttfd knight. "

Henry, Berry Lowery's existence on this
"dark terrestrial ball." A negro black
smith asserts: that Henry Berry boarded at
his house iu Slabtown (a suburban village
of Goldsboro) for four months .during the
past year, while another colored man sol
emnly declares he saw Henry Berry leave
