Some of Them Important Ones. The Lynching Cases this Week. Increase in Valua tion of Property. Special The News. Salisbury, Sept. 3 City Clerk Harry J. Overman has completed the tax books and finds that they show an increase in the amount of real and personal property over last . year of $355,665, or a total of $3,006,171. This does not include suburban prop erty or improvements made on the North Main street extension, which connects Salisbury and Spencer. All of the city public " schools opened today with increased attend znce. Mr. H. Clay Grubb has purchased the old Meroney opera house on Main streets the price paid for it ceing S29.000. The property was owned by Dr. Leroy J. Meroney, and fister, Miss Lena, of Philadelphia, und was used as a theater until last year when the Meroney1 s erected the Handsome new play house. Mr. Grubb uiJj greatly improve the property. The second floor is occupied by the Post Publishing Company. Mayor Boyden, who was confined to lis bed last week threatened with fever, has been able to get out and has gone to Haywood White Sulphur Springs to spend ten days. This term of Rowan court is dis patching work with a vengeance.. Last week 33 persons were sent up for terms which aggregate over forty years. Of these Will Henderson, colored, who was found guilty of mur- oer in the second degree, gets seven years in the penitentiary, and John Brooks, colored, for manslaughter, gets 18 months on the county roads. A young negro for burglary goes to the chaingang for 10 years and Tom Brown, a young white man, will p'so serve 10 years for burglary. Brown is one of the prisoners who was released by the mob on the fight of Aug. 6th. He went home Jnd remained a short time, then l odged around for a c day and re turned to the jail and gave himself up. If he had another chance like tbat he would doubtless change his rnind. Court this week promises to te interesting as the case against the three negroes charged with the murder of the Lyerly family Is to come up, also the one against Geo. Oentle for participating in the lynch ing. The grand jury at this term, which is a regular term, returned true bills gainst George Ervin, Henry Gilles r ie and Delia Cunningham for the murder of the Lyerly's, and a true hill against Gentle for participating :u the lynching. This will set at iest any question as regards the le gality of the indictment against these parties. No big celebration is being held liere today, though many are taking the day off. The Spencer shops are shut down and a large number of alisburians are in Greensboro and Charlotte. The much-talked-of Overman-Lanier fcuit has been referred to a referee and Judge Shepherd has been named I as arbitrator in the case. This is an interesting case and will be watch ed with interest by the legal frater-n-ty as well as others. About four teen years ago the late James - B. Lanier, a rich whiskey man and mine owner, purchased a large amount of otton on margins and lost some thing like $70,000. He paid about ?40,u00 of this indebtedness before his death and gave Rountree & Co., cf New York, - a note for the remain der. Senator Overman was named af administrator upon the Lanier es tate and this claim was paid. The Lanier heirs objected to this pay went on the ground that it was a gambling debt, and were arranging a suit when the administrator in stituted a suit to force a settlement 't the claim. The heirs have enter f a counter suit and the matter Loes before Judge Shepherd for de csion.

MAKES RECORD DC Y(Q n TODAY'S S ..MARKETS 1 AssssescsGoosscessoeocst COTTON Monthly Cotton Letter Report. (Furnished by the Charlotte Cotton Exchange and Board of Trade.) New Orleans, La., Sept. 1. Reports from our correspondents throughout the "Belt" indicate an average con dition figure of 78.2 against 82.9 last month (Bureau August 3rd, 1906) a J deterioration of 4.7 points. ' Deterioration seems to be greatest I in those Central and Western States which, 30 days ago, reported the high est condition; while in the Atlantics an improvement, although slight, is reported. Among the prominent features oi our correspondents' reports may be mentioned (1) that in the Central and Western Belt the plant is generally well fruited at the bottom and defec tive as to middle and top; and where the above is the case a rapid and to some extent premature, opening of the bottom crop indicates a heavy "farm movement" for September. (2) The extension of weevil depredations in Louisiana; marked activity of that pest in Texas, in contrast with the linusual scarcity af . inBects of any kind every where else; (4) The assur ance of a " bountiful corn crop in nearly every county and State of the South (of interest as bearing upon the farmer's ability to hold the rem nantof the forthcoming crop after this rent and supply accounts are liqui dated.) Respectfully, HAYWARD, VICK & CLARK. BUCKET SHOP IN ROCK HILL. Question of Cotton Exchanges Has Reached Climax in the Neighbor boring Town. The bucket shop question is assum ing a serious nature in Rock Hill. For several days heated controversies have been carried on in the columns of the Herald of that town between Mayor Roddey opposing . the exchanges and Mr. F. B. Alexander, as their advocate. This reached a climax down there Friday morning. A negro was arraingn- ed in Mayor Roddey's court on charge of gambling. The mayor took the po sition that if the city council allowed the cotton exchanges to operate with in the limits of the town, that he had no right to impose a penalty upon this negro, who was absolutely devoid of intelligence and who had only about 15 cents. The recent removal to Rock Hill of Bell and Fouville who left this city, has aroused a bitter opinion against the exchanges and Mayor Roddey is de-f termined, so it seems, to use all his energies in driving them from that town. Enthusiasm may enable a man to reach the high attitude, but it doesn't provide a satisfactory method of let ting him down again.

M 202 South Tryon Street. . mm CMelis Wamit DR. KILGO YESTERDAY. Preached Twice and Lectured Once Mob Law Fearlessly. Sunday was a great time with the Methodists of the city, they having the pleasure of hearing Dr. John C. Kilgo, one of the most eloquent men of the church, preach three times, at Try on Street church in the morning, at the same nlace in the afternoon and at Trinity church at night. The principal address of the day was that of the afternoon when the speak er took as his subject: "Mobocracy." This lecture was one of the finest efforts ever heard here on this sub ject. The speaker appeared to have made a close studr of the subject and to have arrived at some rather start ling but nevertheless true conclusions. He spoke first of the fact that the mob is the enemy, not of the criminal or supposed criminal on whom it wreaks vengeance, but is an enemy of the State and its wild acts, are aim ed at the heart of the commonwealth. The growth of mob-spirit also, ac cording to the lecturer, has not been one suddenly springing up, but has been forming for decades, and there lies back of it conditions and questions of the past that are now finding their fruition in the pitiless, lawless mob of the present century. In other words personal liberty and self-government have been wrongedlv interpreted and have taken on a different meaning to the mob than that which was original ly intended by their promoters. The Ideas that men ate' born free, and that they possess freedom innately, and that men are born equal, are not the right interpretations of these cardinal principles. Freedom is something that , is worked out by each man for himself, and is not presented to him with no effort on his nart. The trouble with the equality idea, as it presented itself to the mind of the speaker, was that the standard of equality is the lowest strata of society, and by equality, many men think that it is this mediocre and lower equality. There is very little thought of high standards of equality when many men dwell on this subject. The last part of this able discourse had to do with the false ideas of self- government that have taken hold of already too many minds. There is lack of respect for law, and the man who feels his "equality" is slow to bow to the mandates of the law, when it would restrain him, so the mob, think ing that in the majority the deepest expressions of the will of the people lies consider themselves a sort of con stituted government, backed by public sentiment of those with them, and their work- goes on. This discourse and lecture was one of the best things of its kind that has been heard here in many days. Last night the speaker preached a very timely and helpful sermon on the battle between the flesh and the spirit. The text were the words of Jesus, when he fo'.'.nd the three ' disciples sleeping: "The spirit truly is willing but the flesh is weak." The preacher urged that we judge not too harshly our brother. . The sleeping man may be one of the cham pions of God's cause when he is awake. Jesus Christ recognized the awfulness pf the battle in all of its varying re sults between the body and the spirit, and He wns able to overlook often times the weakness of the spirit. Men's lives must be measured by their trend like the flow of a native river and it is wrong and unjust and not like the Master to pass sentence on a man's life for one single deed, or for what he may be doing at one single moment. The only right way is Jesus' way to sum up the whole trend of the man's life and judge by that standard. All of the talks of this eminent scholar and divine, were heard by large audiences, and these will be long remembered by those who heard them. The Piedmont Industrial School will open tomorrow. The students are com ing in today and Mr. Baldwin says he will have all he can accomodate. There will be no change of teachers. The teachers of last year, Mr. N. S. Og burn Jr., Miss Isabel Wbodley, Miss Ruth Cole, and Miss Fannie Burton will remain The Ohio Republicans seem to be in the hands of the boss and at the mercy of the political machine, for Senator Dick declares that he wants the platform to be the product of trie entire coming convention. He must know he has. a firm grip on the delegates. Misses Martha and Jeannet Martin, uC Columbus, Ga., who have been the fci est of Mrs.- W. S.. Lpe, Jr., on Tenth Avenue, will leave tomorrow for their home. THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, SEPTEMBER 3, 1906. lil ,., ----j -n JKm,.,.,,, rfSm.r- TV' Ill - , ,&. .flf - II 'U To (Get MRS. MADISON AT HOME.

The long dining table (at Montpe lier) was spread, and besides tea and coffee, we had a variety of warm cakes, bread, cold meat, and pastry. At ta ble I was introduced to Mr. William Madison, brother of the President, and his wife, and three or four other la dies and gentlemen, all near relatives, all plain country people but frank, kind warm-hearted Virp" nans.

We did not sit long at this meal the evening was warm and we. .were glad to leave the table. The gentlemen went to the piazza, the ladies, who all had chil dren, to their chambers, and I sat with Mrs. M. till bedtime, talking of Wash ington.
