The Court !s Over, the Soldiers

Transfer Sheds.
Special The News.
Salisbury, Aug. 13. The last work
of the special term of court before ad
journment Saturday evening was tto
place Francis Cress, one of the alleged
participants in the lynching, under a
$500 bond; which was promptly sign
ed by John Kennerly and G. T. Klutz
Cress is bound over pending investiga
tions in other cases, one charge or
which will be rioting. The verdict of
the jury finding Cress to have been
insane Monday night of tne lyncnms
but of sound mind when the case was
heard places his case in a peculiar
light. If the solicitor pushes the other
indictments against Cress he will go
before the court having been adjudgeu
insane when the acts were committed,
but he .can hardly come under the
head of the criminal insane, because
the jury said he was a sane man when
it brought in the verdict. The outcome
will be interesting. With the dismissal
of the cases against Cauble, Goodman
and- Bully-boy, the binding
over of Cress, the appeal in the case
of Hall and the continuance of the
cases against Gentle the court ad
journed. Hall and Gentle were ordered
confined in the penitentiary for safe
keeping until their cases are again
taken up.
They were taken to the depot under
military escort and are now safe be
hind the State prison bars. The troops
all departed Saturday night and yes
terday was an exceedingly quiet Sun
day in Salisbury. There was nothing
left to indicate the exciting period
which has just passed. The city is
quiet, the people are glad, and all hope
the like may never occur again. Ali
good citizens agree that the lynching
is a blot upon the city, the-county and
the State, but believe the prompt in
vestigation, trial and punishment of
those who were recognized as partici
pants in the awful affair will in a
measure wipe out the blot. Time will
have to erase the remainder.
Preparations are being made by the
Southern Railway for the erection at
this place of the largest transfer sheds
in the South.
Civil engineers were last week
sheds. They will be located midway be
tween Salisbury and Spencer and will
replace the one now located at the
freight depot in this city. An addition
al torce of clerks and a larger squad
of truckmen will be employed at the
new place.
Rev. Neighbors, pastor of the First
Baptist church in this city, preached
last night from the subject, "The Spir
it of Lawlessness."
The Republicans evidently desire a
short campaign so far as the contest
for county offices goes. The much her
alded Republican county convention to
name a ticket has been postponed un
til Saturday, September 15th. Spencer
Blackburn, Thos Settle and the Rock
well cornet band will be the star at
tractions. The convention is evidently
called to enthuse the boys, for it is
safe to say that the ticket is already
named, endorsed and marked o. k.
As an instance as to how some ne
groes at least ielt during the exciting
times in Salisbury last Monday night
when 'the jail was stormed manager
Armistead, of the Western Union,
showed your correspondent a note left
by two negro linemen on that night.
It was sent to the telegraph office and
read: "Mr. Armistead, we is gone to
Richmond on 34 tonight, if you want
us back write and we will come after
air this trouble is over." The note was
signed by both negroes.
Bids for a site for Salisbury's public
building, for which Congress made an
appropriation of $65,000, will be open
ed in Washington on the 22nd. of this
month. Several sites will be offered.
It is understood that the county com
missioners will offer the lot now occu
pied by the jail for the Federal build
ing, as a new jail is to be erected on
Church street.'
AN OLD TIMER
Has Had Experience.
, A woman who has used Postum
Food Coffe since it came upon the
market 8 years ago knows from ex
perience the necesity of using Postum
in place of coffee if one values health
and steady brain.
She says: "At the time Postum was
first put on the market I was suffering
from nervous dyspepsia and my phy
sician had repeatedly told me not to
use tea or coffee. Finally I decided to
take his advice and try Postum, and
got a sample and had it carefully pre
pared, finding it delicious in taste. So
I continued its use and very soon its
beneficial effects convinced me of its
value for I got well of my nervous
ness and dyspepsia.
"My husband had been drinking cof
fee all his life until it had affected his
nerves terribly. I persuaded him to
shift to Postum and it was easy to get
him to make the change, for th Post
um is delicious. It certainly worked
wonders for him.
"We soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate or depress and does not
stimulate, but steadily and honestly
strengthens, the nerves and the stom
ach. To make a long story short our
entire family have now used Postum
for eight years with completely satis
fying results as shown in our fine
condition of health and we have no
ticed a rather unexpected improve
ment in brain and nerve power." Name
given by Postum Co., Battle' Creek,
Mich.
Increased brain and nerve power al
ways follow the use of Postum in place
of coffee, sometimes in a very mark
ed manner. ,

CHARLOTTE PASTOR
SCORESTHE MOB
Mr. Duncan Preaches two Force
ful Sermons on the Salisbury
Lynching. Fierce Denuncia
tion of Lynchers and Their In
human Methods. v
Rev William Duncan, pastor of the
First Associate Reformed Presbyte
rian church preached a , bold sermon
yesterday morning on Lynching, Our
National Sin and a Deep Disgrace,
taking his text from Isaiah 59. 14-15
"And Judgement is turned away back
ward, and justice standeth atar on
for truth has fallen in the streets and
eauitv cannot enter."
In this expordium Mr. Duncan spoke
of the pressing need existing today for
a public sentiment to denounce tne
terrible sin of which America is guilty
today, saying:
"The time has come when it is the
duty of pulpit and press to speak
with no uncertain sound and with no
timorous voice. The daily papers of
our city have spoken forcibly and fear
lessly, voicing the noblest and truest
sentiments in expressing their unqual
ified disapproval of such dastardly,
crimes as that which nas again stain
ed the escutcheon of our noble State.
Every boy and girl should read the
editorials which appeared in these pa
pers last week. The utterances and
addresses of Judge Long to the citi
zens of Salisbury and the jury which
tried the lynchers ought to be publish
ed in pamphlet form and placed in the
hands of every youth in this broad
land. We are proud of the man, and
of the lofty sentiments to which he
has given voice.
The Universality of the crime ot
lynching was first considered.
"I have seen the slimy trail of this
dragon on the prairies of Illinois, in
the deep forests of Indiana and among
the sunny hills of Ohio. I have follow
ed it, too, through the valleys of Penn
sylvania, where churches and colleges
lifted their towers on every hand. It
has been seen amid the orchards and
vineyards and palaced villas of proud
New York as well as in Tennessee.
Kentucky anu Mississippi and I have
found it here in our own good Old
North State, lifting its bloody fangs to
attack the sacred citadel of justice
and murder the representatives of the
law and guardians of our homses. It
left uncheckered. that dragon's teeth
would yet drip with the life-blood of
the nation.
The nature and enormity of the sin
was the second consideration.
"As to the nature of it, it is dark
and damiiable, cowardly, cruel and
criminal to the last degree. Absolute-
y without excuse or apology, and, in
the Salisbury case, without one single
extenuating circumstance or redeem
ing feature. It was begotten of the
basest passions that ever raged in
human breast. It was born in some
deep abyss of hell and is odoriferous
with the fires of the damned.
"As to the enormity of this sin suf
fice to say it is a crime against human
ity. It degrades and depraves to tht
level of brutes, aye of demons, those
who participate in it. We see men act
ing like fiends, raging and cursing the
mad man, defying all laws human on
Divine perpetrating such deeds ol
barbarity upon their wretched victims
as would do credit to a Spanish in
quisition. Mr. Duncan then turned to the Dan
ger and Duty in view of the awful
crime, saying in part:
"Our danger is not.immaginary but
real and imminent.
"If this thing continues it will not
be long until we are in a state of an
archy, which will be followed by a
reign of terror like that which smear
ed with blood the pages of French
history for long years. Every man
will be his own avenger. No man's
honor or life or property will be safe.
"My friends, let us look this matter
in the face. Do we wish to commit
the administration of justice and pun
ishment of offenders' to the hands oi
a wild, irrational and - irresponsible
mob, led Dy law-violators, libertines
and lunatics, as was the case a few
days ago? Do we want Judge Long
on the bench, or (Judge) Hall the
leader of the lynchers.
riis Evening. Sermon.
The night sermon was addressed
primarily to the young men of the
church and city. Mr. Duncan chose for
his theme, The Boy on the Limb, and
based his remarks upon the career of
young Absalom.
The career of Absalom was first
portrayed and the analogy between his
life, his rebellion to home restraints
and the authority of God, and the boy
who figured so prominently in the Sal
isbury lynching was drawn with splen
did power.
"In the youths of this land rests the
future of this country. It makes my
blood run red;" said jthe preacher,
"when I think of such boys as the one
on the Limb dictating to America her
laws and the administration of govern
ment. '
"The downfall of Absalom was sure,
and the downfall of every man who
patterns his life after the old King's
son snail be just as sure. Ther is ab
solutely no uncertainty about it.
"The heritage wnich Ausaioin be
queathed to posterity tehall ,be the
legacy left by every youner man who
follows in his steps. Over his grave
now there lies a heaD of stones thrown
by every Hebrew lad who passes that
way as a mark of shame and disgrace.
"The conclusion of tihe discourse
was an appeal to the young people to
live lives of closejfellowship with God,
and In respect for his laws and the
laws of the land. Both the sermons
were bold denunciations of the re
cent crime committed against the fair
name of the State, and those who
heard Mr. Duncan were pleased with
the manner in which the delicate sud
ject was treated. . .

C,A, REYNOLDS WILL
OPPOSE KITCHEN
Was Nominated Saturday by the
Republicans of the 5th Dis
tiict. Convention not Largely
Attended. Charles Hairston Ar
rested and in Jail.
Special to The News.
Greensboro, Aug 13. At a meeting
of the Republican district . convention
here Saturday afternoon to nominate
a candidate for Congress in the Fifth
district to oppose the Democratic nom
inee, W. W. Kitchen, Postmaster Chas.
A. Reynolds being prevailed upon to
accept the nomination was given it
by unanimous vote. In accepting the
honor and the burden, Mr. Reynolds.
who made a vigorous canvass as the
candidate two years ago, notified the
convention that it need not expect
such a strenuous effort this time, for
he was not going to do it. There were
only about fifteen Republicans present
and five of the ten counties of the
district were unrepresented. Mr. John.
T. Benbow of "Winston was re-elected,
chairman of the district committtee.
It is generally conceded that Kitchen
will get the biggest majority in the
district this time that he has ever
received, consequently only a Republi
can who is already drawing a good
salary, could be found to make the
pretense of a'race.
The negro Charles Hairston who
shot and. fatally wounded a negro board
ing house keeper at the double track
ing camp near Jamestown last Tues
day; was reported here Saturday as
having been captured at Whitney.
Deputy Sheriff Weatherly left Sat
urday night for Whitney and returned
on the early morning train yesterday
bringing with him the genuine Charles
Hairston, who admits his identity and
that he did the shooting. He is now in
jail here, awaiting news as to whether
his victim, Lee Cates, is livins or
dead. Cates is said to have been tak
en to Charlotte, where he has a broth
er, and ' was barely alive at last re
port. Both physicians who attended
him at -Jamestown, said he could not
possibly live, as one' of the three balls
from a pistol which Hairston had shot
into him, perforated his intestines.
Saturday afternoon Sheriff Jordan
received a telegram from Winston
saying that Baldwin's detective agen
cy had located Hairston for Roanoke
and was holding him for further or
ders. The sheriff notified the agency
that they had the vrcmg negro, as he
had the right one safe in jail here.
