MR. EDITOR : I see in your issue of the loth where Hon. I). H. M cLean was called to Tallahassee to defend A. R. Hemmingway for lhe murder of B. F. Tilton. As Mr. Hemmingway is an old friend of mine aud has many friends and relatives among the readers of your paper I will write these few lines in his behalf. The case as made out by State and also proved for the defense by State's witness was that Mr. Hemmingway was passing Til ton's place on the way to his wife's father's after her and his children and he was told to stop, that Tilton wanted to see him. They had some words about a negro's account, and Tilton, af ter cursing and abusing him, pulled him out of his buggy and took his pistol from him and struck him several times. They were separated by out siders, and Hemmingway told him to give him his pistol and he would leave, that he was not mad with him and got in his buggy and told Tilton it was all a pack of foolishness. Til ton got mad and started at him again and he shot him. These are the facts that were brought out by the defense, it was also proved that Tilton was very su perior in physical strength to Hemmingway. Mr. McLean and Judge Raney conducted the defense. Mr. McLean cross-ex amined all the witnesses, which Avas done in an able way. Judge Malone charged the jury that if the defendant believed himself to be in danger ot great bodily harm they would find him not guilty. The jury was not out but a short while and returned with a verdict of not guilty. We "Tar Heels" were glad to have our friend D. H. McLean with us. He was shown every cour tesy that could be shown him by the best people here and made lots of friends. The Leg islature was in session and Mr. McLean was extended the privi lege of the floor. Tallahassee is noted for its old time South ern hospitality. There are lots of North Carolinians around here. When a man has been here once he wants to come again. I think Mr. McLean was almost persuaded to stay with us. We hope he enjoyed his stay among us as much Us we did his being here, it carried us back to Lillington to hear ' his familiar voice in the court bouse. 1 FRANK SIIAW. 5 MORTGAGE SALE.

This May 28th IgOl. [ C. .Vi. Beasley, _ Mortgagee. „ 31cLean & Clifford, At ty's. «S I Turlington Institute Commence» went. The editor had the pleasure " in company with the Band and a number of our people, to at • tend the closing exercises of the ' Turlington Institute, at Smith- Held, last Thursday and Friday. The Baud as a whole enjoyed the trip and the exercises, and • greatly appreciate the liospital '' fiy of the good people of that thriving city on the banks of the NetTse. The town of Smith s' field and the county of .John ston are proud of the past rec ord of the school, and arc hope ful of the future. They have one of the very best schools in eastern North Carolina. Its benefits and influence are felt throughout the entire section. The school has never enjoyed a j more prosperous session than the one just closed. Prof Tur i lingfon, the Principal, is a man capable and worthy of the high position and the confidence lie enjoys from the patrons and friends of the school. Dunn Defeats Selma. if Last Thursday Dunn's crack baseball team in company with about fifty of our young ladies and gentlemen, went up to 0 Sniithtield where Dunn defeat p cd Selma on the Turlington In .l stitute grounds. Selma had made great preparation to walk \ over our boys. They had se !' cured a battery from Durham l ~ and put on their best material, 1 but the boys soon found they 0 had run against something more 1 than a scrub team. Jordan was in the box and Randall behind the bat and that made it safe for Dunn. Selma had nine in nings while Dunn had only •^iu r iit. The seore by innings was as follows: Dunn—3 0 0 1 2G 0 1 x—l 3 Selnia-0 0 0 0 0 3 1 3 o—7 li Soldiers Must Apply For Pensions. e j The Legislature of 1901 re s viewed the Pension Law of s North Carolina. This was done c to keep thousands of men in ~ ihe western part of North Caro lina from drawing a pension p when they were disloyal to the Confederacy. A regiment of Union Soldiers s having been raised in Madison c and adjoining counties and these men are on the Pension Bolls. lit order to purge the , x roll of these disloyal men and also of those who dcseited and joined the Union forces, it is .! necessary that every pensioner , should make a new application between now and July l>t, 1901. 1 hope that all the Confederate I Soldiers will take notice of this I and file their application prop* t erly so that no one will be drop , ped from the roll, j Any person who was disabled by the "war or his service there j in," if that can be shown to the a satisfaction of the Pension t Boards i- entitled to pension j under the new law. Heretofore those that were wounded only could get one. ( W. A. STEWART, May 20, 1901. i One Tree Brought $60,000 f f There is more wealth in our forests than in gold mines if the timber is properly cared for. One walnut tree, cut iu Hay , wood county last week, brought , one thousand dollars. The peo ple who live in such a country are rich if they only knew it. This recalls an interview with Mr. S. L. Rogers, Corporation Commissioner, which recentlv appeared in the High Point En terprise. We quote : '•Railroad Commissioner Rog ers, who was here Saturday was talking about the value of North Carolina timber. He said that lie had only one story to relate and that was a big one. A man in Western North Caro lina was selling standing tim ber—walnut trees. The man who was buying came to one very handsome tree. He told the" owner he would pay as much as $5O for that tree. This excited the owner. He did not sell but sent for experts. The owner got $1,500 for the tree (curled walnut) as it stood The man who cut it down real ized $3,000 for it on the cars. It was shipped to New York and veeneercd 1-6 to 1-2 inch. The sales were watched and es timated as best that could be ■ done and when all was disposed of it turn°d out ih it the tree brought near $60,000. The point is this : We have no idea as to the value of our timber, much of which is being sent North for a mere song. We can become rich in North Carolina if we work our raw material as othors work it for us."—News ' & Obseryer. j Buie's Creek Commencement. The thirteenth annual com : mencement at Buie's Creek Academy, \vhich took place on May 22-23, was by far the best i which that celebrated school ■ has given to the public. The exercises for the week opened on Sunday with an ex cellent sermon by the Rev. Dr. Tyree of Durham, N. C. It was a thoughtful, logical ex ' position of some of the beauties . of the Holy Scriptures, as ap . plied to modern life. Wednesday evening was de voted to exercises by the stu dents, consisting of declama tions, dialogues, music, etc. i They all were well rendered, and showed careful preparation on the part of the students, and thorough instruction from the faculty. As usual, Thursday was the i "big day." At 10:30 a. m. ! Rev. Mr. Forbes of Dunn, > opened the exercises with [ prayer, after which the students entertained the vast audience for an hour with music and song, and the two Literary So cieties gave a joint debate. The speaking was good, and one : could almost forget that lie was i in the pretence of school boys. > and believe that lie was seated > in the Legislative Halls, listen ■ ing to the discussion of the mo ■ mentous questions of the nation. I The feature of the day was : the address to the students and ■ friends of the school, by Gov. i Chas. B. Aycock. This oc* , curred at 11:30, and for forty ' minutes the Gov. entertained > his audience with one of those > strong, forcible speeches for I which he is noted. His subject > was "Education" and lie thrill • ed his hearers with a desire for ' a higher standard of education » for our grand old State. After the address dinner was served on the grounds. The. afternoon was devoted to decla mations by the boys, and at 5 :30 the students gave a mili tary drill, which showed both skill and discipline. The concert in the evening closed the exercises for the . week and the large crowd of • people who attended went to , their homes with the feeling that they had witnessed the close of the most successful year at Buie's Creek, notwithstand ing the destruction of the acad einv by lire. The music for the occasion was furnished by lhe Buie's Creek Band and orchestra, and the students played very well considering their short practice. As a whole, the entire exer cises were highly satisfactory to teachers, students and friends, and we are all to be congratu lated upon having such an ex cellent school in our midst. A Busy Summer. Every indication points to Dunn being a busy place this summer. Building operations will In quite extensive and in addition to the new buildings which will for the most part be handsome and city like, all the industries of the city are running on full time. A 1 read}" there is a slight scar city of labor and with the added call of the farms around here for laborers, there ought to be work a plenty and to spare for every man who wants to work. This increased aud continued activity means that more money than usual will be in circula tion this summer. If you want your share of it, you should se» that your business gets its shan of publicity. You can get it in THE BANNER. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought FREE TO THE BABIES.
