C., as second class matter. DUNN, Harnett County, N. C. DUNN, N. C., Augilst 14, 1901. Council Respited Fourth Time. The negro rapist in Cumber land county jail, sentenced to be executed on August 12th, has again been respited. We have almost become disgusted with the case, as have a great many other citizens. If the following be correct we think we can read the signs of the times that await the liberty loving people of America, should our govern ment be gained and ruled by that class of people who brought on the recent trouble in China with the Boxers by attempting to protect criminals. Where are we drifting? "Some people have found in this case evidences of sectarian activity, enumerating the fol lowing facts that seem to point to that conclusion : 1. The negro Council became a Catholic soon after he was condemned to death. 2. The Catholic priest at Fayetteville, under whose preaching he was converted, lias been very active in his be half. 3. He secured the affidavit of Sheriff Burns, also a Catholic, and sent it to the Governor with the request for a respite for the negro. 4. He has ii tarested other prominent Ca;lio ics at Wil mington and they have em ployed ex-Judge Bryan to rep resent the negro in his effort to stay the execution. 5. Judge Bryan went before the only Catholic on the Su preme court bench with his petition for a rehearing, though to do (so he passed through Raleigh where a judge belong ing to another church resides. THE WA ; Y TO STOP LYNCHING. The way to stop lynching for rape is to hang men convicted by juries for committing that crime. It is right and proper to give a reprieve when there is a claim of new evidence, but when that evidence does not change the original finding and the victim is confident that the right man has been convicted— then hanging cannot take place too soon. If it is postponed and postponed and postponed for re-hearings and the like then argument against lynch ings will lose much of its force." Tobacco Sells Hiyh. Year by year, month by month, week by week, day by day and hour by hour Dunn is gaining a most favorable im pression among the tobacco growers of this part of the State as being the most up-to date market in their reach. The farmer finds his every in terest protected on this market, and when he has sold tobacco finds that the average is better than he can secure on any oth er warehouse floor in this sec tion. Hear what a farmer says about the market, and we are willing to leave the matter with this class. lie says : "I have sold tobacco on several of the markets within the past three years, but have found none that gave the satis faction every day and every sale that they give on the Dunn market. I have sold tobacco on other markets and the next day carry a load of the same grade of tobacco to Dunn, and it brought upon an average of 3 cents in the pound more than I received at other places. I take no chances, but sell all my tobacco in Dunn." This is only the expression of one farmer, while there are many others who could say the same thing. Dunn is not only an excellent tobacco market, but has long since been recognized as one of the and best cotton markets southeast of Raleigh. Now the former reputation of our market will be fully sustain ed this season. Bring your to bacco and cotton to Dnnn and you will have nothing to regret. NOTICE.

The need of the South to-day is young men who are skilled in the trades ; young men who know the cotton manufacturing business from bottom to top, who understand taking our iron deposits and converting them into useful articles of commerce. The North has grown rich be cause of its manufactures. Its great cotton, steel and woolen industries, that take the crude article and converts it into something worth 15 or 20 times its first value. Such industries as these make a people wealthy, and the young men who learn to take the crude resources of the South and convert them into manufactured products will be accomplishing the greatest good for the section and people. —Wilson Times.

We clip the following para graph from-the Daily Visitor published at Burlington. It says : •'Hon. Dan Hugh McLean, while in the city, paid quite a compliment to the Burlington Coucert Band. He remarked to a friend, that while Dunn (his home) had a good band, ours was much better. The Music was not so brassy, sounded sweeter and mellower. Good for the boys." Our neighbor and friend, Hon. D. H. McLean, is general ly a good judge, and in his opinion the band referred to may make superior music to his home band. A musician who has played in both bands thinks different. The home band does not claim to excel all other bands but we justly claim to play as good grade of music as any other band in the State that has no greater instrumen tation. We admit that the music is produced with brass instruments, but they are of the finest make in the world and all of them are silver and gold plated. And as for the music sounding "brassy" we are not familiar with that term in music. The band uses music written for brass bands and the music produced is supposed to sonud like a band and we don't want it to sound any other way. We don't know what a "brassy" sound is and if Mr. McLean will show us his authority for the term we will try and not be so "brassy" when he hears us again. Fresh Blast For The Annex ation. The tobacco buyers who met in Havana Wednesday to ask for a reduction of duties on cigars and tobacco shipped to the United States blew the first blast for annexation and one that may be echoed by others who are interested in business in that island. These tobacco buyers may not bo particularly interested in annexation, but it is a good card they are playing, whether it brings about the re duction of duties which they seek or not. If they secure that it will be good for them, but if they secure annexation it will be better, for annexation might mean free trade, (al though not necessarily so under recent decisions of the Supreme Court) and that would be the making of Cuba, which couhl then control both the line tobac co and sugar industry. But that is the obstacle they will find in their way when the movemeut for annexation takes shape. It would find arrayed against the growers of cigar to bacco, the beet growers and manufacturers of beet sugar, and the sugar trust, all of whom are potent in politics, and poli tics will play its part when the annexation question comes up. The logical solution of the Cuban question, to let this gov ernment out consistently, will be annexation, provided the movement comes from the Cu ban side, and it will be exceed ingly difficult for its opponents to give a logical reason why the application for annexation should be rejected. It will sim ply be a case of cheaper cigars and cheaper sugar for the peo ple, against dearer cigars and dearer sugar in the interest of the beneficiaries of protection and exclusion. What then would become of Mr. Babcock's contention, that part of the pol icy cf the protective system is to protect the consumer?—Wil mington Star. o^LsrronzA.

Yours to please, mMWB FURNITURE C?Q', I The Voice PS a Revealer of Character. There is no greater reveal or of character than the human voice. It is the first thing that strikes us in a stranger,ior in a new acquaintance. It Has that spontaneous ring of truth that no training can impart, we rec ognize its appeal for confidence. Some voices have the jar of falsehood, and are as full of warning as the hiss of a serpent. The uncouscious natural voice is to be regarded as the index of character. To speak prompt ly and positively is generally to act promptly and positively; to speak politely is to act polite ly and to speak gruffly and rudely is a good way to make rude actions easy.—Amelia E. Barr, in the Ladies' Home Journal for August. It seems that our asylums at Raleigh and Morganton are full. Many of these patients are idiots and inebriates. These, the Governor says, must give place to the indigent insane which shall be cared for at the charge of the State. It was the original intention of the foun ders of these institutions to care for the insane especially. In the present congested condition all but these must go. All this would seem to indi cate that larger preparations will have to be made by the State for taking care of such as need this attention. —Common Wealth. Corn which was planted about the first of July, and there was a great deal of it planted in the section about that time, has made most remarkable growth. Mr. J. W. Chaney, of east Mon roe township has corn which measured 2-V feet in height four weeks from the day it was planted. Mr. S. A. Lathan, of Buford township, has been troubled with snakes, the water moccasin species, in the box at his spring where he keeps his milk and butter in the summer time. Mr. Lathan says that hundreds of young moccasins have been killed near that box within the past eight years. A few days ago Mr. Lathan killed what he thinks was the mother of all the young moccasins around his spring. The old snake weighed four and one half pounds and with her there were eighty-one young snakes. —Monroe Enquirer. CHAmm FOR TSB Mb* YiAstS f?l V-a A\ ; \ (&IM/ j I EV£ »»H 5 8 9CLSEF. H. T.
