Biggest Reward Ever Heard of in State -The Governor Has Been Much Worried He Ap peals to all Thoughtful and Law Abiding People to Uphold His Hands in Suppressing This form of Lawlessness. Raleigh News and Observer. 16 years of age. The gentleman making this statement is a man well known in the State, and has ; held responsible positions. He says, DOLLARS moreover, that there was only one track at the scene of the murder and this track corresponded with the track of the elder, and not of the younger. If' these statements turn out to be true ;the lynching becomes all the more horrible. It is high time for the public opinion of the j State to rise up and put a stop to Governor Aycock yesterday morn ing issued a $400 reward for the arrest and con viction of each member of the mob this form of lawlessness.

Whereas, official information has been received at this department that Harrison and James Gillespie were lynched at Salisbury about June 10, 1902, by parties unknown. And Whereas, it appears that the said parties unknown have fled the State, or so concealed themselves that the ordinary process of law cannot be served upon them; Now, Therefore, I, Charles B. Aycock, Governor of the State of North Caro lina, by virtue of authority in me vested by law, do issue this my proclamation, offering a reward of four hundred dollars each for the ap prehension and delivery of the said parties unknown, or any of them, to the sheriff of Rowan county, at the court house in Salisbury, with evi dence sufficient to convict and a con viction, and I do enjoin all officers of the State and all good citizens to as sist in bringing said criminals to justice. Done at our City of Raleigh, the 18th day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and two, and in the one hundred and .twenty-sixth year of our American Independence. CHARLES B. AYCOCK. By the Governor : P, M. PEARSAL, Private Secretary. As it has been estimated that there were seventy-five persons in the mob, the reward offered amounts to $30,000. This is an entirely unprecedented sum for the chief executive to offer, and it looks as if .he were determined to do everything to the uttermost to arrest those who flagrantly disre garded law and order. This will lead to important disclosures, if any thing will. The issuing of this proclamation was about the first thing the Gov ernor did upon his return from Coo leemee yesterday morning. Col. P. M. Pearsall, the Governor's Secre tary, drew up the paper, and the Governor signed it. Solicitor Hammer is now in Salis bury and is at work on this case. He thinks that he has the names of several who took part in the lynch ing, and when further evidence against them is collected arrests will follow. He expects to go to the very bottom of this indefensible lynching. much worried about the matter. The Vboys charged with the murder were 'under arrest and in jail, with the Certainty of a speedy trial, and the 'ime for which they were lynched as not the crime for which lynch is ordinarily the penalty in the iith, and sometimes in other parts ' the country. How far lynching '11 so and for what crimes it will iiioracticed cannot be determined. It vis a form of lawlessness which gr' ws and nothing can stop it but an 'ghtened public sentiment.

"children wearing bells" in the huckleberry swamps, and who sup- ! poses that county is only a land of bogs filled with croaking frogs and writhing water moccasins, there re mains something yet to be revealed. . In the southern part of the county, in Franklin township, on the "Xig-ger-head Road," (one of a number of roads in the State cut by Lord Cornwallis while at the head of the English army, seeking to subdue the Colonies,) leading from Clinton to Wilmington,there is a place combin ing in a remarkable manner both lowland and hill country elements, a spot of peculiar beauty. The road running parallel with Black River, and a half or three quarters of a mile from that stream, crosses Wild Cat Creek, a small stream whose ripling waters look very much like an up country water course. To the stran ger travelling that way from Clinton toward Wilmington the sudden : change of SGenery is none the less surprising than remarkable. On the j north side for miles the road runs through' typical pine forests and sand, such as have made famous our "tar,pitch and terpentine" products. This appearance continues to within a few yards of the creek, where sud denly there is a complete change of scenery and, in the place of deep j sand and turpentine woods prospect j and the usual boggy adjuncts of an ' eastern stream," there is the rushing ripling of waters in the hills. For more than a mile along the southern bank the land rises abruptly and ravines are mingled the greatest va riety of woods, each beaaing its own clearly marked characteristics, to be found growing together anywhere. There are dogwoods, sourwoods, hickories and white oaks, and ma ples, just snch as grow on the pied mont streams, side by side of the lowland poplars and birches, gums and long-leaf pines; on all, and throwing an appearance of enchant ment in and out and up and down the dells, is a profuse growth ot Red Rough Hands Itching Palms and Painful Finger Ends. .boy died protng,hlsinnpce.and. wait WAKTRT) The hih- singing ; , want to, go-i;o,&eayen: r ..est market price paid for Bees Wax whl?n 11 f nterf 1 whenldie."
