mm TBS CHABLOT?^ NXWS SEPTEMBER 27 1911 ■ I J! *>4 Supetiot Comt Continues to Grind B«n Henderson, a negrc, was con victed of highway robbery and sen tenced to three years work on the county roads. At this momlag’s ses sion at superior court Lonnie Furr a white boy, about 15 years old, testified that Henderson forcibly took from him a watch, pocket knife and pocket- book, in the neighborhood of Fourth ©treat qn the Seaboard tracqs. When he was released by Henderson he Im mediately brought an ofBcer to the spot. On the approach of the olRcw Henderson was seen to throw away the stolen srtlcles which were only found and identified. Henderson’t story was that the boy approached him with the offer of the articles for some cocaine with which to entice a negro woman, and falling in his purpose demanded the return ol the watch, knife and pocketbook. Henderson averred that when he saw the policeman coming to arrest him he threw away the aforementioned ar ticle* in order that they might not be used in evidence against him for Belling cocaine. Solicitor Wilson elicit ed the information that Henderson had served sentences aggregating 15 years on the chain-gang, but aU of Henderson stated, were for these, lighting. When the verdict had been returned Attorney Newell, who represented Henderson, called to the attention of the court the fact that Henderson is a hopeless consumptive. He declar ed that he had advised the prisoner to plead guilty to the charge of larceny, as having been committed under the influence of cocaine. That this was the real truth of the matter Attorney Newell said was his conviction. The verdict of the jury in the trial of Will Barrett yesterday, on the charge of retailing liquor and keep ing a dUordcrly house, was given to the court this morning. Barret was found suilty on the count of stealing. On the other charge the jury could not reach a agreemenv. and a mlstria. was ordered, the defendant being re quired to give bond in the sum of $1,- 000. A case which created much amuse ment th's morning was that of State rs. Reuben Connor, for carryinga con- co-jled ■'^earon. Charlie Johnson and Sus*e Whitlow testified that Connor had abused the woman at a picnic, flnallv drawing a raior on her. Connor, a nearly blind, old negro, defended tlKsclf vigorously. “I did cuss her, judge, because she had made soni® mistakes talkin’ about me, but I didn’t have no razor, an’ dat's de truf,” he insisted. He was given 30 days on the road. All the cases before the court this morning were concerned with negroes, and were of trifling Importance. Minerva Moore, a 13-year-old girl, charged with stealing $6 from a white woman in this city plead guilty and was required to return the money and pay tha costs in the case. When Miron Carpenter was put on trial, charged with selling cocaine, he caused much laughter by peremptori ly excusing four of the jurors. He defended himself. Hl» special adver- •lon to the jurors seemed to attach to their beards. “There’s one, judge;” he eald, after he had excused three, as he caught sight of a long-bearded farmer on the back row. The cases of Will Saddler, charged with stealing a shot gun and Frank White, charged with the larceny of groceries, were given to the Jury this morning, but verdicts had not been handed in at the time of this writing.

Slandei Case Set tled by Nol Pi os I he C ase of State And Ella Jones Versus Rev, E. L. Modison, Colored is No Frossed by Solicitor Wilson. The case of the State and Ella Jones vs. Rev. E. L. Madison, pastor of Clin ton chapel, A. M. E. ZZion, on South Mint st^reet has been nof pressed with leave by Solicitor John Watson, now engaged in Mecklenburg superior court. This action was taken by the solicitor after the defendant had filed a written statement in court and sign ed by him to be made a matter of rec ord to the effect that he had netver made any public charge reflecting on the virtue and character of said Ella Jones and there there were no charges preferred In the church against her. This action brings to an end a case that has- been of great Interest to the colored people of the city, because of the prominence among the race of the parties concerned. Ella Jones is aa prominent member and Rev. Madison the pastor of Clin ton Chapel, colored. The woman charg ed her pastor with slander and a pre liminary hearing was had before Mag istrate* S. S. Ross, who passed it up to the higher court. It was continued from the last criminal court td the present one. The plaintiff is a woman of excellent character, as wa& testified to by numerous white people of the city and the better element of colored people. Stte was merely seeking vindi cation of the charge alleged to have been made by the pastor of Cllnto cha pel and expressed a willingness to drop the matter with the filing of the above mentioned statement-, the nol pros re suiting from that. Mr. J. P. McCall and Col. T. L. Kirk patrick represented Ella Jones, while Messrs. Plummer Stewart and E. T. Cansler appeared for Rev. Madison. Prominent Cathollct Meet. By Associated Prett.

Locke, who lost hit life in a British at a point on from Charlotte, Sept, 26, 1780. it was that these three w 1 in honor ing this Revolutionary hero—he was Jowan, died on Mecklen- ^ associated with the history of Cabarrus by fam- ily ties, one brother and one sister having married into the Phifer family ^ county’s most distin guished families. In tl^ grove just across the road from the spot where Locke fell— a spot Imown locally as Locke’s Hol- low"—the monument commemorating t^he heroic life and death of the patriot, has been erected by Mecklenburg Chapter D. A. R. This chapter commendorates the death of this Revolutionary hero year- ^be date of Locke’s cieatn having been chosen by the chap ter as Chapter Day. Sept. 26, 1780, was made memorable in th^e history of Mecklenburg county by the death of Lieutenant Locke. Sept. 26, 1911—131 years later—-was made memorable by the unveiliiig of a monument to the young hero. The tfnveiiing. In the pines jutt off the Salisbury road which leads from Mecklenburg through Cabarrus to Rowan, several hundred people gathered yesterday af ternoon between 3 and 4 o’clock to honor the memory of Lieutenant Locke. The highway was lined with autos and vehicles of various kinds, and the near-by country folk rode or walked, taking their little children with them to teach them of the heroes who gave Mecivlenburg her glorious history. The sun shone brightly on the pa triotic gathering—a gathering at once unique and representative in person nel. It was as the coming together of great clan—Phifers, Erwins, Craigs Allisons, Gibsons, Smiths, of Cabarrus mein kith and kin, in the descend ants of the Locke and Brandon family in Mecklenburg and Rowan at the mon ument of (leorge Locke. The blood of a common ancestry flowed in the,veins of half of the people present. It was noticeable, however, that there was no one by the name Locke present. There is Ifving today only one de scendents* of the family who has the Locke name—Miss Mary Locke, who lites in Salisbury. With her, the name becomes extinct But of the descendants of the Locke family there are several clans repre senting the state’s best blood and de Cascarets Insure Inside Cleanliness The Millions of Cascaret Users Never have Head ache, Constipation, Bili ousness or Sick Stomach.

Mrs. Latta C. Johnston, regent of Mecklenburg Chapter, was mistress Of ceremonies. As her voice was heard in formally calling the grove to order two beautiful young girls. Miss Mary Johnston, daughter of the handsome “Madame Regent” of the hour, and Miss Susie Hutchison, daughter of ]^r. and Mrs, David Parks Hutchison and step-grand daughter of Mrs. Ann Locke Parks, the second wife of Mr David Parks, stepped to« either side of the monument, laying hands on the cords which held the veil in place, thrill of patriotic interest ran through the assembly. Mrs. Johnston intro ducing Rev. Dr. A. A. McGeachy, of the Second Presbyterian church, who opened the exercises with prayer. In a most appropriate petition Dr, Me Geachy thanked God for “those wise minds, kind hearts and valued lives— who contended for our safety and wel fare w'hen we were but a little peo pie; for those godly and patriotic wo men whose nerve was sublime; those heroes who brought to this nation 11b erty, prosperity and peace. We are gathered to unveil this memorial to one who gave his life that Ve might know happiness and peace.” Mrs. Johnston then addressed the gathering, giving gracious' and grace ful salutation. “Friends,” said she, “It Is with deci ded pleasure and pHde that we meet today to finish that which we have begun. In placing this marker to the brave and gallant Lieutenant George Locke, we hope by our example and teaching to Inspire the youth of our state, and, in the language of our con stitution, ‘to cherish, to maintain and extend the institutions of American freedom, to foster true patriotism and love of country, and to aid in securing for mankind all the blessings of libr- ty.’ "We, therefore, In the name of the Mecklenburg Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution, unveil the mark er for love of the Old North State and our country.” The cords held by Miss Johnston and Miss Hutchison were drawn and the veil fell revealing the monument. The grove resounded with applause. THE MONUMENT. The monument is erected on gn*ound given by Mr. Martin Davis. Mr. John Pharr gave the rock for the base of the monument, and Mr. David Parks Hutchison, a step grand son of Mrs, Ann Locke Parks, who was a grand daughter and Matthew Locke gave the rock on which is the inscription.

Then followed her address. Said she: “Mecklenburg D, A . R., Ladies and Ctentlemen:— “Our beloved state honors her own great past when she honors the brave men who by their self-sacrificing lives and heroic deaths made that past great. As the ‘blood of tTie martyrs was the seed of the church’—so the blood of the patriot sons of the Old North State is the seed of our great commonwealth that today we love and honor for her glorious past, her splen did present and her promising future. “We meet today, to honor the mem ory of that patriot who gave the last great gift that man may give, his life —that his country might gain the priceless heritage of liberty and take her place among the nations of the earth. “No braver soldier than Lieutenant George Locke ever faced a foreign foe, and to him, and to the Brave men fighting with him, we today pay our heartfelt tribute of love and honor, that the land we live in, is one of lib erty and opportunity, and our govern ment not the tyranny of kings, but one of the people, by the people and for the people.” DR. CALDWELL'S ADDRESS. Rev. Dr. John L. Caldwell, president of the Presbyterian College, the orator of the day, was happily intro duced by Mrs. Johnston. Looking in to the eye and addressing the hearts of the descendants of the clan of Locke, the speaker—^himself a descen dant of some of the most illustrious blood of the Revolution—said; “Ladies of Mecklenburg, Rowan and Cabarrus and al the rest of the La dies and Gentlemen:— “When Mrs, Johnston asked me to talk about Lieutenant Locke, I asked her who he was. She replied T dojnot know—we want you to tell us, while we know' but little about him we know that he died for his country; died in defense of Charlotte, repelling the in vader.’ (Continued on Page Five.)
