Jones, who was thought to have been lynch ed in LaGrange some time ago for an assault upon a white lady near the town, turned up yes terday in Snow Hill, charged with forcible trespass on the lands of a farmer and was sent to jail. Although rewards were offered for the lynchers and the affair occasioned much com ment at the time, the negro was not hurt more than a severe whipping. The clerk of the court of Greene county knew the LaGrange negro and says the negro now in jail in Snow Hill is the same negro. — Sadly out of place —"croco- dile tears."

DTJNN, N, C, Another Horrible Crime. • Now we have the Anson coun ty lynching. An insolent negro assaults a pure' young white woman, accomplishes his lust ful purpose after a bloody and desperate struggle, then man gles the prostrate body and tiees, leaving her in" an uncon scious condition. He is pur sued with the aid of a blood hound and captured while the blood and hair of the young woman is yet upon him. Mean while consciousness returns to the young woman who identi fies the guilty wretch. Then he confesses his guilt and tells the details of the sickening crime. Whereupon he is hang ed by a mob of three hundred whites in the presence of a large crowd of negroes, who looked on with approval. All this occurred near us, in the county of Anson, last Wednes day. It was an awful crime. The thought of it is revolting. It is easy to see how a commu nity, at first indignant, per haps, should come to be en raged, and at last rush to do what ought to be done to the guilty party, hang him to a tree: and still further, give vent to their passions in rid dling the body with bullets, and possibly go further still, burn it to ashes. Yet it is wrong. This is not the way our bible teaches us we should do. This Book teaches only the good and the safe way. Experience shows all that life, reputation, the protection of persons and property, are safest in a com munity where the law is con served and courts are appealed to and relied on to redress grievances and punish wrong do»rs.—Lumberton Rob.esonian.

Those who have property ought to be will ing to pay their fair proportion of taxes. Instead of shirking their part of the taxes they ought to feel thankful that they own property to pay taxes on. If wealthy citizens are not will ing to bear their part of the public burden they should be made to bear it. The rich man who fails to pay his proper share of taxes by his property being under valued, though perhaps he does not realize it, robs those who do pay their fair and just part of the taxes. The theory of government is that the burden of taxation should fall upon the people in proportion to their ability to bear it: he who has much should pay much ; he who has little should pay little. If valuations were correctly made and property properly listed the rate could be consid erably reduced. The Free Press thinks that a good way to bring about equal ization of valuation in North Carolina—that is, to have prop erty listed at its real value— would be to have a law requir ing the publication of the tax lists in each county. This would show up the inequalities and public knowledge and public sentiment would cause acorrec rection of the inequalities.— Kinston Free Press. SAVES TWO FROM DEATH.

"Some years ago I was one of a party that intended making a long bicycle trip," says F. L. Taylor, of New Albany, Brad ford County, Pa. "I was taken suddenly with diarrhoea, and was about to give up the trip, when editor Ward, of the La ceyville Messenger, suggested that I take a dose of Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy. I purchased a bottle and took two doses, one before starting and one on the route. I made the trip suc cessfully and never felt any ill effect. Again last summer I was almost completely run down with an attack of dysen tery. I bought a bottle of this same remedy and this time one dose cured me." Sold by Hood & Grantham.

Goldsboro, N. C., August 27. —Special.—The story of fiction of Laura Jeau Libbv, eutitled, "He Fell in Love With His Wife," has been eclipsed in Greene county by an actual oc currence in every day life, where a woman fell in love with her husband, and married him. The pages of fiction, on which are founded the wild and fanci ful imaginings of wonderful minds, do not contain a story more strange than the one of which The Post correspondent has just learned and which will be related as follows : Some several years ago there resided in Pitt county, near the town of Farmvllle, a young lady named Miss Addie May, who was as well known there then as she is now, and has a father still living, who is a merchant in the town of Farm ville. Over across the line in Greene county there resided a young man whose initials we could not learn, but whose sur name was Dupree. These two young people met, loved and were married. The young man was somewhat dissipated and after two years of married life, which was not altogether pleas ant and congenial, Mrs. Du pree sued for a divorce in the courts of Greene county and obtained it. Some months af terward she met ajforeigner who had come into the community by the name of Vescontes. He was intelligent, attractive and handsome, and when he asked Mrs. Dupree to become his wife she readily consented.. This match was no more sue- 1 cessful than the first. The for eigner was also dissipated and in addition to his bad habits he was lazy, it is said, and failed to provide for his family. On these grounds Mrs. Vescontes sued for a divorce, which was granted. Her last experience with matrimonial life covered a period of several years. Af ter she had been seperated from her last husband for some months bhe again met her first husband, Mr. Dupree, and fell in love with him and he with her, the second time. This pe culiar love match resulted in a wedding in Greene county yes terday and Mr. Dupree was the Groom and Mrs. Vestontes was the bride. For the second time they were married yesterday, and the writer trusts that their experience on the present hap py occasion will be different from the one which preceded it some years ago.—Raleigh Post. WHITE MAN TURNED YELLOW. Great consternation was felt by the friends of M. A. Hogarty of Lexington, Ky., when they saw he was turning yellow. His skin slowly changed color, also his eyes, and he suffered terribly. His Malady was Yel low Jaundice. He was treated by the best doctors, but without benefit. Then he was advised to try Electric Bitters, the won derful Stomach and Liver rem edy, and he writes: "After taking two bottles I was wholly ' cured." A trial proves its matchless merit for all Stomach, Liver and Kidney troubles. Only 25c. Sold by C. L. Wil son, Druggist. A Good Creed. Do not -teep the alabaster boxes of your love and tender ness sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words while they can hear them, and while their hearts can be thrilled and made happier by them; the kind things you mean to say when they are gone, say before they go. The flowerp you mean to send for their coffins, send to brighten and sweeten their homes before they leave them. If our friends havfe alabaster boxes laid away full of fragrant perfumes of sympathy and affection, which they intend to break lovingly over our dead body, we would rather they would bring them out. in our weary and troubled hours, and open them that we may be refreshed and cheered by them while we need them. We would rather have a plain coffin without a flower, a funer al without a eulogy, than a life without the sweetness of love and sympathy. Let us learn to annoint our friends beforehand for their burial. Post mortem kindness does not cheer the burdened spirit. Flowers on the coffin cast no fragrance backward of the weary way.— Awna Crops Outlook. Weekly Bulletin of Government Weather Bureau. Washington, August 27. The weekly bulletin of the weather bureau issued today says of general conditions : "The weather conditions of the week ended August 26,1901 have been generally favorable, except in the middle and South Atlantic and east gulf States and Tennessee, where in nearly all these sections heavy rains have damaged crops and inter fered with work and in some districts washed lands and caused unindations. "Drought oonditionsstill pre vail in portions of lowa, Okla homa and Texas in the last named State becoming serious in localities and rain is also needed in Michigan, Nebraska, the north Pacific coast States and portions of Kansas and Missouri. "The temperature conditions have been favorable for best re sults except in portions of Mis souri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Tex as, Montana and Washington. Continued improvements in the condition of late corn is generally reported from the principal corn growing States. Reports indicate that late corn in lowa has made rapid prog ress and that the ears are filling beyond all expectations. It shows some improvements in most localities in Nebraska has changed in eastern and middle Kansas and in western and southeastern Missouri elsewhere in the last named States the crop is deteriorating and much complaint is receiyed of ears not filling well. In the States of the Ohio valley, the pros pects for late corn are decidedly improved, in some sections fields previously reported beyond re covery will be reclaimed and the indications are that the prospective yield will be large ly increased. Cutting has be gun in portions of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Spring wheat harvesting is practically finished in all sec tions, although retarded some by rain in South Dakota and Minnesota. Threshing is gen eral and the yields, are as a rule satisfactory, except in North Dakota, where they con tinue below expectations. The weather for the week has been .unfavorable for cotton. Complaints of shedding and rusting are general throughout the entire cotton belt, except in Missouri and Oklahoma, but in Oklahoma the crop has been somewhat damaged by hot, dry weather; some favorrble reports are however received from Ten nessee, Arkansas and Louisiana. Cotton is backward and in poor condition in Texas, although the late has improved where rain fell; it is opening quite rapidly in portions of Georgia and picking is in progress in these States as well as in many localities in the western portion of the cotton region. Tobacco is in good condition in the Ohio Valley and Tennes see, and the prospects for this crop are generally favorable in this State as well as in New York. Drying tobacco was slightly injured in Maryland by humid weather and rains were unfavorable in Virginia. While adverse statements concerning apples continue from a greater number of tin principal apple growing States, reports from Indiana, Illinois Missouri, Arkansas and Nebras ka indicate good prospects for this fruit in portions of these States. Plowing for fall seeding is in general progress in all sections with soil usually in good condi tion except in the central Mis sissippi and lower Missouri val ley where rain is needed to put the ground in proper condition for this work."

The insane desire of fond parents that their children shall "shine" in their studies and accomplishments is one topic vigorously dealt with by Ed ward Bok in his editorial in the Ladies' Home Journal for Sep tember. Regarding the girls' side of this widespread evil he says : "There are parent* who, I not content with the studies which their daughters have to grapple with at school, load them down with a few special studies in the finer arts. I have in mind now several young girls between the preca rious ages of twelve and seven teen, who, after they return from school, have an extra dose of painting, music or languages. 'But my daughter must know, something of these things,' is the protest of the fond moth er. 'She must be able to hold her own with other girls of her set.' Of course, the girl at tins tender age, with such a mental load, soon goes to pieces. She becomes anaemic, listless and nervous, and then the mother wonders why! To build her up everything under the sun is tried except a lessening of men tal work and the unnatural strain upon the nervous system. The girl develops into what? A bundle of nerves encased in the most fragile frame, her physical vitality sapped almost to the last dreg. And in this condition she enters mar riage state ! And yet we won der why there are so few women absolutely free from organic troubles. Is it so in explicable." JOB COULDN'T lIaVE STOOD IT If he'd had Itching Piles.

A Chicago man who was recently arrested for marrying eighteen different women, all good "looking and s>me young, was a rheumatio 01.l stick of sandy complexion, with a squint. He was not even glib of speech, and so far a* any man could judge he was about the Inst mortal creature to engage the interest of any woman. Yet all his deceived., victims adored him and wanted to get him free. Indeed, he would have been released by their unanimous consent had they not quarreled over the question as to who should have him. This is onlv one of hun dreds of cases. The latest heart breaking old coot is Owen Stickney. Owen hasn't any legs, he ha-n't any money, and in the eyes of the sheriff at Ro chester, New York, he is a poor spirited creature. Yet the leg less wight has induced the beautiful and accomplished voung wife of E. H. Green, of Akron. Ohio, to elope withliim.
