Lynch Ings.
Almost daily wo read of some color
ed man being hanged for rape by a
mob. Now it seems foolish, indeed,
for colored men, with all the light of
the past before them, will commit a
crime that the people feel is worse than
murder,ami one from which there is no
escape. Rape means death, and the
fool who aceomplishcs it, never ex
pects nothing else.
Another Snd Case.
On last Monday afternoon the sad
news reached this city that Mrs.
huvonia Haglcr was dead. She died
in Columbia S. C. on Monday at 10
minutes past one, after several weeks
suffering. She was a native of
Charleston S. C. and the wife of Mr.
William H. llagler of this city. She
was a loving, kind and affectionate
woman. She was loved ‘by all who
knew her, as was evidenced by the
groat crowds that met the corpse at the
depot. She was an affectionate and
dutiful wife, a consistent Christian,
and from childhood a member of the
Methodist church.
The corpse arrived here Tuesday
evening and rested in Clinton Chapel
till Wednesday morning and was from
thence buried in I’inowood cemetery.
The husband and family have the
sympathies of the community.
Clinton Chapel Sunday School.
Clinton Chapel Sunday School was
out in full last Sunday; the secretary
reported four hundred present. In
tlie altar were Revs. C. L. Davis of
Greensboro, C. C. I’cttcy, Herndon
and Slade. Rev. Fred Jacobs and
Mr. 11. C. Chambers were also
present. The school was addressed
by I'ntf. Davis who spoke very com
plimentary of the school and credited
it with being the largest he had seen
in the South. Rev. C. C. Pettey
made a short address. The music on
this occasion was unusually good.
The choir seemed at its best as when
Prof. Taylor waved the baton. Mrs.
Josie Heard presided at the organ.
This school is not only sustaining its
reputation as the largest in the con
ference. hut as the best singing Sun
day School also.
Mr. Calvin’s Farm.
We all know Mr. A. W. Calvin as
the grocery merchant on Trade street
nearest the Mint. While there is
nothing in his actions or appearance
to show it, Mr. Calvin is said to he
a colored man; and since lie is in
telligent, industrious, honest and
successful, we the more gladly accept
and class him a Negro. Mr. Calvin
has one of the prettiest and best
horses in the country. On Tuesday
afternoon last lie took us out to drive
and look at his new farm.
, It seems that lie had the good for
tune to buy from a first class farmer,
as the farm house and growing crops
' clearly show. The farm is just two
miles north east from Independence
| square ou the poor house road and
j has a lovely location, being well
elevated and level. The soil is
r sandy and fertile, the red clay being
left a half mile west of it. There are
seventy acres, a good two-slory house
with seven rooms, all necessary out
house*, barns, Ac., a well of excellent
water, peach orchard, apple orchard,
s grape vines, &o.,Ac. There are twenty
i four acres of as fine corn now on it
- as is in the country. The fodder is
just ready for pulling. The house
si ts at a nice distance Iron) the road
11 on a beautiful elevation with a slant
ing oak grove.
' This farm adjoins Wadsworth,
11 Shannonhousc and others, and Mr.
Calvin, though a Negro, is considered
« a neighbor; for besides Itis present
II residence, the six cottages now being
J built, his store and standing among
'• . im ii.<g the business men of the city,
he is himself educated and lias a refined
and educated wife. Such Negroes as
I- he doe* credit to the race and arc not
n frightened by "Negro equality”
e | article*.
A Bail Case.
The young white man J. I Green,
now in jail for burglarizing Mr. W. J.
Yates’ house, is a son of Judge Green
of South Carolina. Ho is charged
with a capital crime, one for which
several men have been hanged iu
Mecklenburg county. Ilis case is a
had one. Ono that excites much
interest for several reasons. The
sentiment of this community is de
cidedly strong against this crime, and
if this young man is convicted it will
be proven whether or not white men
and colored men are punished alike
for the same crime.
It seems that this young man comes
from one of the best families of South
Carolina. That is bad on society and
the good people of South Carolina as
well as the circle into which he enter
ed here in our city. He was given to
drinking and card playing—two very
bail habits.
A watch stolen from Mr Yates’
house at the time of the burglary;
was pawned by the prisoner to a
hotel clerk for his board. Several
other articles taken at the same time,
belonging to inmates of the house, I
were found on the person of the
prisoner. It is stated also that he |
attempted to buy chloroform at one of
our drug stores on the night of the
burglary. All these things go to
make up a bad ease He will he
tried at the October court.
Rowan Association.
The Rowan Baptist Assocition was
in session last week in Ebcnezer Bap
tist Church. The Association was
well represented in numbers, appear- ;
anee and intellect. It was a gentle, j
manly looking set of men and they
conducted themselves in away to show
to the world that the Baptists are not
lagging in the march of improvement,
Many important questions came up for
discussion, among which were educa
tion and temperance. The sentiment
is for a better improved ministry and
advancement in the intellectual stan
ding of our people generally. Total Ab
stinence is demanded of the ministry I
and officers of Churches and begged of
the laity. The seminary at Grec'inij
boro and the college at Raleigh were i
represented as well as the orphan asy- !
turn at Oxford. The session was j
harmonious and' successful. It ad-!
journed to meet in Greensboro next :
year. Rev. J. O. Crosby moderator
and / Haughton Jr. secretary.
The Hornet and the Negro.
This daily, just started out, is seem
ingly trying to get patronage by harp
ing on the Negro. The editor is evi
dently afflicted witli Negrophobia, and
is at a loss for a subject. No paper
has ever gained any thing by abuse of
1 the Negro, and the poor old Observer
died while saying some mean things of
1 the Negro, and we predict that the j
1 Hornet will follow suit. This age is j
1 too fast improving for little bob-tailed \
dailies to live on the dead carcass of j
I the past. C.
