Charlie Lyle,' charged with larceny,
was convicted In the Superior Court
yesterday morning and sentenced to 12
month on the county road. He will
not take an appeal, but wilt serve the
sentence. This is, practically, the end
o( a very sensational episode. It will be
remembered that the verdict , of the
coroner's jury charged Lyle with the
- murder of Newton Lanier, who 'was
found -dead near this city last August.
An analysis of the contents of Lanier's
stomach by a chemist disclosed the
. presence of a large quantity of mor
phine; supporting the theory that La
nier had committed suicide or, at any
rate, had taken the poison voluntarily.
The grand Jury failed to find a bill for
1 murder against Lyle, but .acted upon
testimony , that showed that Lyle had
tricked or swindled the dead man out
of 20. ,
J. S. Crenshaw, the farmer who shot
and killed Reddle McDanlel, colored, In
his watermelon patch, was yesterday
sentenced to a term of six months im
prisonment in the county Jail. Through
his counsel, Mr. K. T, Cansler, the de
fendant appealed, , i
Alfred, or Bud, White, colored, was,
tried In the Superior Court yesterday
for carrying concealed weapons and for
resisting arrest. He Is the negro that
Policemen Pitts and Bummerrow tried
to arrest on the night of the 81st of
August and who evaded arrest by as
saulting the officers with one of their
own clubs. He knocked both of them
unconscious, but. was gamely pursued
by Pitts, who recovered In time to make
a lively pursuit and put a bullet In the
leg of White who eventually escaped.
In this case the Jury returned a ver
dict of guilty, but recommenileirIn
view of the good character proven by
S'hlte, that he be shown merry. Judge
oke thereupon ordered the defendant
to be fined a dollar in each of the two
cases and to be taxed with the costs of
. the action. The amount was paid and
White was liberated.
In order that the outside world may
not wrongfully construe the action in
this case, a word of explanation is vol
unteered. The light penalty imposed
upon White means no reflection upon
Pitts and Summerrow, who were doing
their duty. The practical dismissal ol
the case was based upon the character
of the negro.
Here's the Idea: White was a country
negro, of a family that belonged to
Capt. 8. B. Alexander's folks and were
reputable. He came to town on a dark
night with a pistol In his picket or in
his hand. He had no business with the
pistol; but he was like . the farmer
from Podunk who wan scared of city
ways, and he was merely preparing for
the hoodoos, the witches and the rob
bers. All tooi'suddenly the two policemen
loomed Up out of the darkness. They
were-In, the right, but White had no
time to make an analysis. He did not
remember that "law is a rule of ac
tion" or any other handy maxim, but
he was certain that he had a new pair
of shoes and that he was a stranger in
a strange land. He had about the same
Intelligence that governs some
thing that has been jumped
out of a brush-heap. His mind
and arms began to move in circles, and,
apparently, he was not altogether re
sponsible for what he did. It Is repeated
that the officers were not censured by
the finding of the court.
"ALVIN JOHLIN."

Haass To-atorrow Might Specialties.
The attraction at the opera house to
morrow night will be the celebrated
rural comedy, "Alvin Joslln." "Alvin
Joslln," an old Vermont farmer, re
ceives a letter informing him that his
half-brother has died In England, leav
ing him his entire fortune, provided he
never marries and in case he Is married
the money goes to Alvln's nephew, u
young New York broker, provided he is
not married. Unfortunatedy for him
(Alvin) he is married, but In order to
retain the fortune, he gives his
shrewish better half the slip and
goes to New York to visit his
nephew to whom he represents that he
is a single man. While in the city he
meets with strange adventures and
gats Into all sorts of troubles and his
efforts to extricate himself furnish end
lens amusement. Alvin's wife traces
him to New York and her appearance
on the "scene adds to the complications.
Although the comedy element is ex
ceedingly strong, there are several
dramatic situations and thrilling cli
maxes. Several well known points of
Interest In New York are faithfully
represented bw special scenery. Among
the principal scenes carried are the
Grand Central depot, Plt'r 2 East
River, with a view of the Brooklyn
bridge by moonlight, a thieves' den
Baxter street, and a typlscal Uowery
Concert Hall. During the play several
novel specialties will be Introduced.

Th New Pa.tor for Steal Creek.
It was with great reluctance that the
Abingdon, Va., Presbytery dissolved
last week the pastoral relation between
Rev. P. H. Gwlnn and his congrega
tion at Glade Springs. Some time ago
Mr. Gwlnn signified his willingness to
accept the call to the Steele NCieek
Presbyterian church In this city, and
it only remained for the Abingdon
Presbytery to take action. At their
meeting Wednesday last seven commis
sioners from the Glade Springs church
appeared and asked that Mr. Gwlnn be
retained at Glade Springs, but the elo
quence of Rev. Dr. John W. Stagg. of
Charlotte, who had been selected ta
prosecute the call for the Steele Creek
church, prevailed and the pastoral re
lations were dicsolved. Mr. Gwlnn and
his family will reach Mecklenburg
about the middle of this month. Mr.
Gwinn has a reputatlon-for ability and
charming personal qualities, and the
Steele Creek church is, as always, b
safe bands.

For Nine Juong
f Years I Suffered.
South Hoston. Va., Sept. 3, 1901.
For nine long years 1 suffered
from chronic dlaorrhea, which
weakened me down greatly. M
weight went from Ifi2 pounds to
87 pounds. 1 got so I could not
do any work, but could sit up a
little. Kor twelve months I lived
on sweet milk and bread. If I
ate anything ele it would start
the bowel trouble, from four to
ten times a day. My doctor said
I would never get well, I might
get better, but that trouble
would always be my weak point
when 1 would take cold. Seeing
Mrs. Joe Person's advertise
ments on the South Boston
bridge, I wrote to Mrs. Person
and stated my cane. She said shi
did not think there was any
doubt of her Remedy curing m
Bo I commenced it, and soon I
could eat anything I wanted ex
cept buttermilk. I took 22 bot
tles, which made a perfect cure
of me, and I gradually regained
guy weight untll-1 again weighed
16X pounds. It was seven years
ago since I was cured, and am
now perfectly well. I had a baby
that was born with a bowel
trouble, which nothing could
reach. He was born In May
nd in July he had a bad
boil which he suffered from for
nix months, I didn't know Mrs.
Person's Remedy could be uned
on so young a baby, so I wrote to
Mrs. Person and she advised Its
use. He fore lie had taken a bot
tli the bowel, trouble was cured
and also the boll, which (he doc
tor said threatened to be a sc
rloiis trouble, as It was so ob
Htinule and lasted bo long.
