way the State by Sqlicifor T. M. Argo,
whose speech has nOver "been excelled
in a case ofthia kind for the State,
It was dignified, mild, hfgb toned and
at the same time fax-reaching. The
I'adge's charge to the doomed man
rought many tears frm him, his
mother and his eirfter and. teyeral
others in the packed-court room. The
jury was out only 2( minutes, bring
ing in a meet righteous yerdict, as is
beliered by all the community. The

The trial of Howard Anderson for
tne murder of William iirorter was 4
concluded at Golqsborb Saturday
night in Wayne Superior Qourt, Judge
Avery presiding, and resulted in the
eoritiction of Andersibn. He was sen
tenced to be hanged November 20th.
The murder which occurred at
Goldsboro a few months Sago created
great indignation. Anderson brained
Porter with a rock becaus he refused
to allow him credit for something he
wished to purchasefroa him. The
Argus saye: The deiendant was ably
represented by Meeers. Nixon & Gal
loway, both of wliom addressed the
jury in his defense,! and f. under the
circumstances, with all the evidence
against their client, we mist say that
he got the best defence e can con
ceive possible to bei made for him.
The prosecution as conducted by Col.
T. IL Argo, the solicitor, was unbiased ,
calm and dignified, ahd hi speech be
fore the jury is pronouueed by all
whom we have heard express an opin
ionold citizens wh$ havl been at
tending courts her for f years as
being the finest effort of its kind ever
delivered in our court houe: certain
ly did this writer neter hear such ; a
speech; impressing te jury with . the
great, responsibilities that "were rest
ing upon them, both in their relation
to the prisoner J and I the com
m unity, and conpludiag with
the solemn invocation that the guid
ance of God might be frith them
in determining their Terdict. The
charge of Judge Avery npn the evi
dence was truly admirable! The ver
dict meets the universal approbation
of this community and will e a whole
some lesson, we hope, tog all whose
evil hearts may prompt them to deeds
of violence and murder in the future.
This county needs such lesson as
the late of Anderson! irill teach
them. .: In passing sentence Judge
Avery delivered to th doomed
man an earnest invocation to seek
for the good of his immortal soul
mercy from God, where alone he could
obtain mercy, and who aaip save even
to the uttermost, as He ; dd the pen
itent thief upon the otobs. The kind-
y wefds of Mis Honor drew tears
from the eyes of many of tbi hundreds
who packed tne court room to near
the sentence. A motion por a new
trial Was overruled; and Ikn appeal
taken to the Supretoe fCurt, and
then the solemn words ; were spoken
condemning Howard;: Anderson to be

Close of the Joint Dlsensslon.
Charlotte Chronicle, 23rd.
The debate at Mooresville yester
day closed the joint canvass of
Messrs. Daniel G. Fowle and Oliver
H- Dockerv.
From the report in another column
of today's Chronicle, it is evident
that Judge Fowle had the better of
the debate yesterday. Col. Dockery
committed the indiscretion of repeat
ing the Warren county slander about
white paupers being leased to ne
groes, and had to bear the humilia
tion, if, indeed, the man felt sname
at all, of Judge Fowle s producing
evidence to the audience positively
contradicting the Colonel's statement.
The worst of this particular slander
is, however, that Ool. Dockery persists
in repeating it, in the face of the in
controvertible testimony offered to
prove his, story false.
Tbe Republican party can scarcely
gain even temporary advantage by
such misrepresentations. It is not
justifiable, and all honerable men
must condemn Col. Dockery s un
worthy methods. His misstements
in regard to the tariff are allowable iu
politics; and although he may create
a poor impression of his intelligence
and good faith, nevertheless, little
blame will be attached to his conduct
in this re card.
Judge Fowle certainly is entitled
to credit for beinar straight forward.
He speaks ill of none, and if his ar
guments are faulty, they are never
slanderous. He is eloquent and patri
otic, and his competitor, or rival, can
not complain of unfair or ud gall ant
treatment at the Judge's hands..
Tbe Chronicle regrets that the joint
canvass will not continue until tie
election, for it feels certain that in
every bout Judge Fowle has bca
more than a match for the bush
whacking methods of his antagonist,
who tried to sugar-coat his Republi
canism and his nigger partyism yes
terday by proclaiming himself a
Henry Clay Whig Protectionist.

OPINION OF A CHICAGO
PHYSICIAN.
his vnrw or thk shotgun uuakn-
tinb thb bituation
otheb news.
By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
Chicaoo, September 24. Dr. J. H.
Ranch, secretary of the State Board
of Health, arrived from Washington
yesterday after having attended a
conference of State boards of health
held at Nashville. He Bays the shot
gun system of quarantine prevails
most extensively in Tennessee, and
its cruelty and barbarity is illustrated
in the killing of a man who left the
train at Durant, Ky. Dr. Rauch ap
proves the course of tbe authorities
at Louisville in inviting refugees
from the South. Relative to the
aspect of affairs in the Southern
States ho said : "From personal ob
servation during the conference at
Nashville and from official reports
received I see no reason to change
the opinion expressed by me a week
ago that there is practically no dan
ger of yellow ferer La Tennessee, al
though the developments at Decatur,
Alabama, and Jackson, Mississippi,
increase the possibilities of it.
So far only one dsath his occurred in
Tennesse, at Wildwood, and that was
of a refugee from Decatur. This was
a week ago and bo far no other cases
have occurred in that locality. The
death of the Decatur refugee at Louis
ville is the only one that has occurred
in Kentucky. If it had not been for
the Decatur outbreak, the true nature
of which was for some time doubted,
the conference at Nashville would
have agreed upon the southern boun
dary of Tennessee as the limit north
of which there was no danger. But
owing to the panic existing in
Chattanooga and Memphis the north
ern boundary 4line of the State was
adopted. !
The only real danger of the spread
of yellow fever now is in the south
ern portions of South Carolina, Geor
gia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana
and Texas. The danger line is daily
moving south and the meat powerful
ally in preventing the spread of the
disease is the constantly lowering
temperature. The situation is not
nearly so alarming as it was in the
months of July and August, 1878 and
1879. ' The chief source of concern is
the fact that the shot-gun quarantine
prevails and in many instances the
regular authorities are overridden by
mobs. Unfortunately the condition
of things may obtain for some days,
even if no new out-break of fever
occurs."
A QUARANTINE EXMOVED.
Iontgomkbt, Ala , Sept. 24. The
quarantine established on Friday by
this city against Green vile, Ala., was
removed this morning, it being abso
lutely certain that there was no real
cause for quarantine. Tbe suspected
case was not yellow fever and the per
son sick had not been in any infected
district. .
louisvillb opens hxb gates.
Louisville, Kt., Sept. 24. At a
meeting of physicians and others,
called by Mayor Jacob, it has been
decided to open the gates of Louis
ville to the yellow fever refugees.
train brought in 135 from Deca
tur this morning. There is no excite
ment here.
At a meeting of doctors it was
the sentiment that Louisville was in
no danger. When the physicians had
given their views almost unanimously
to the effect that the city should not
be quarantined, but that it should re
peat its humane .act of 1878 in wel
coming refugees with open doors,
President Hewitt called for the report
of the pomittee, which was real as
follows i
"The experience of years warrants
the physicians of Louisville in stating
confidently to her citizens, and those
visiting the city, that ou account of
our geographical and climatic condi
tions, Louisville can be in no danger
from the spread of yellow fever by
contact with those from the infected
districts of the South who may seek
refuge here. The lateness of the sea
son and the measures of safety adopt
ed by the State Board of Health,
justify ub in asuring our citizens that
there is no danger whatever of the
disease gaining a foothold in the city."
THS SITUATION AT DECATUR.
Montgomeby, Ala.. Sept. 24. Dr.
Jerome Cochran, State Health Offi
cer, now at Decatur, telegraphs to the
Montgomery Board of Health that
Decatur has 9 cases of yellow fever
and that the place is nearly depopu-
ated and but little material left for
the fever to work on. People go north
acd into the country; none are com
ing south. Decatur is the nearest
point to this city where there is any
fever and it is 200 miles north of
here. This city keeps a most rigid
quarantine, and no trouble is appre
hended here.
THX SITUATION IN JACKSONVILLE.
Jacksonville, Fla , September 24.
Hiight long weeks have passed since
the first case of yellow fever, that of
McCormick, was developed at the
Grand Union hotel. Tonight the
official records show a total of 1,745
cases and 202 deaths. The daily list
of cases and deaths during the past
ten days has been fearful in a city of
the size of Jacksonville, with two
thirds of its people absent. Today the
record of new cases was again broken,
the footing up reaching tbe figures
163. Of these 103 were colored people,
who are being freely reported, it is
now almost certain that many bun
dred colored people have had
the fever and recovered without
treatment or physical aid
The old theory that negroes are
not liable to oontract yellow fever
has been exploded. It has been
demonstrated 'hat they are almost as
susceptible to attack as tbe whites
but the issue is rarely fatal with
them probably never unless the fe
ver is complicated with organio dis
eases. An old and eminent local
physician said today : "Negroes never
die of yellow fever unless they call in
a doctor. The deaths reported to
day are six in number, namely: Juli
Thompson, George Braddock, Louis
Bremer, Col. Chas. G. Elliott, Geo.B
Brooks and Wm. Christopher.
Mxmphis, Tenn.. Sept. 24. A meet
ing of tbe joint committee of the Cot
ton and Merchants' Exchanges and
the city authorities was held today.
The strirgent quarantine regulations,
which have been enforced since Sat
urday, were amended by the adoption
of the following:
Resolved, That passes be issued
upon tbe certificate of the
president of the Taxing District
or ,the president of 1 the Board
of Health to persons to corns in and
out of the city who live in the city or
its vicinity and who will not go to
any infected district. That this au
thority will also cover all the cases of
people desiring to bring produce or
carry out supplies in wagons or other
vehicles.
Resolved, That any person or per
sons who are at present at the quaran
tine station shall be permitted to
come to the city upon permits issued
by the taxing district authorities,when
satibfsctory evidence is shown that
they have not been in any infected
districts.
The local military companies repor
ted for duty today and later will be as
signed to duty as pickets on the dirt
roads.
The following has been furnished
the Associated Press and is official:
The Advisory Committee from the
Cotton and Merchants' Exchanges in
connection with the city and Board
of Health authorities desire to state
positively and emphatically that the
city of Memphis is remarkably healthy
and that we have have had no yellow
fever in our vicinity since 1879.

1 "HANOI AT JACKSONVILLE.
Jac$ nyille, Fla., Sept. 24. This
mornir , was cool and cloudy and
rain us begun to fall, making damp
disagreeable weather. The situation is
practically unchanged, tie ports up
to noon show 49 cases, more than
two thirds of which are colored peo
ple. Five deaths are reported for the
past lo jboure: Antonio Uhinge, an
Italian, Charles Hallings, a child,
Eddy Gumming, Lizzie Fox and
James Thomas. The general situation
indicates little prospect of improve
ment. Business is cut off by the local quar

FOWLS AT MOROAHTOII,
HIS DISCUSSION WITH

DEMOCRATS ENTISELY
SATISFIED WITH
THE BX8CLT.
Cor. ol the News and Observer.
Morganton, N. C, Sept. 20
Judge Fowle and Col. Dockerv
poke here today to a large crowd.
estimated at from eight to twelve
hundred people.
Col. Dockery arrived from Lenoir
some timer last night About half af
ter rune o clock a. m. horsemen singly
and in small squads were seen leaving
the town, and going towards Lenoir,
and the reason was explained when a
few minutes before twelve o'clock
J udge Fowle made his appearance
He was accompanied by a procession
of mounted men numbering one hun
dred, at leapt, said by some to be
nearer two hundred, the procession
was headed by three of the young
ladies and escorts on horseback, and
as they came into town the entire
procession, joined py hundreds on
the street, broke into enthusiastic
shouting for Fowle and the Demo
cratic party. At one place, as the pfo
cession moved to the hotel, a few Re
publicans as Judge Fowle passed
them yelled out "Hurrah for Docke
ry," but it was so feeble that but few
heard it.
Promptly at twenty-seven minutes
before two o'clock p. m. Col. Dockery
commenced his speech and was at
tentively and courteously listened to
for one hour by the entire crowd,
among whom were a large number of
ladies from the town and country.
He devoted hity-six minutes to na
tional politics; arraigned the Demo
cratic party for a failure to redeem
its pledgee; extolled the tariff it
made everybody rich. The cause of
hard times was that the Democ ratio
party had refused to pay out the
money, but were holding it in the
Treasury. He devoted four minutes
to County Government and closed.
His speech fell very fiat. He was
cheered twice when he alluded to
Zeb" Vance and the red-legged grass
hopper, and when he said tbe Demo
cratic party never would repeal the
revenue law. He, as one man ex-
firessed it to me, has a large appetite
or misstatements.
Judge Fowle arose, and was cheered
to the echo, showing that Ool. Dock?
ery had not changed any Democratic
votes in that crowd. Ills answer to
the tariff part of Col. D.'s speech was
masterly, and so plain that any un
prejudiced man could see it; and his ad
vocacy of the present system of county
government, and his appeal to the
white men of the west to stand to
their white brethren of the twenty
seven negro counties was sublime.
At times the outburst of applause
was so great as to stop him in his
speech for a minute and more. He
won votes here from his very courte
ous treatment of his opponent; and
from th beginning to the end of his
speech not a hard word was said
by' him against or about any indi
vidual. In his reply Col. Dockery
gave his stale "nigger-in-the-wood-pile's,
that we have heard for fifteen
years; said the Democratic party had
more nigger in their wood-pile than
there was in the Republican wood
yard; there .was more nigger in the
Democratic party than in the alligator
that had swallowed the nigger in
Florida, and be was vociferously ap
plauded by 'bis sable brethren and
some of the white Republicans, who
enjoyed the jokes. As he concluded
his remarks, a large part of the Re
publican sqaad present commenced
hollowing and started off with the
evident intention of preventing Fowle
from replying, and it required an ap
peal from Ool. Dockery himself to stop
them. After!thev stopped Fowle told
them if tbey wanted to leave to go then,
so as not to interrupt him, and
those who wanted to hear the better
class of the Republicans, were then
quiet. Some, led by a jail bird; of
this county, or at least in his com
pany, left and Judge Fowle began his
concluding speech.
Ool. Dockery alluded in a very
coarse and gross way to an Episcopal
church in Anson county for teaching
negro children in it, and said there
was not a Republican in it, and gave
the Bishop Lyman incident.
rowle commenced on this and I
have never heard anything superior
to it. He told the crowd that he
could not understand how any man
could utter such slanders against a
church and its bishop, when the very
men, members of his party, who had
brought him from Lenoir, Charlie
McKesson and Manly Walton, were
members of that church. The very
man (Ool. Thos. Walton) who had in
troduced him to the audience was a
member of that church. He showed
how demagogical it was to attempt
to put on the Democratic party the
action of any church ; defended m a
magnificent manner Bishop Lyman
and the Anson church; proved the
falseness of the charge, and convinced
every man to whom I have talked
that the charge was made by Col.
Dockery againsTthe Episcopal church
because he thought the great mass of
Our people did not fancy that churchj
Judge Fowle closed his speech
with an appeal to the people to stand
by the Democratic party and its nom
inees; the party of liberty and free
dom: gave a touching account of the
Kirk war, and the trampling npon
the rights and freedom of the citiz
ens by the Republican party, and the
burst of applause as he finished and
the rush of men and women to get to
him to shake his hand and congratu
late him was enough to satisfy any
man, woman or child of the effect of
the two speeches.
A prominent Republican and a per
sonal .friend joined me just at the
conclusion of Judge Fowle's re
joinder and said to me; "That was one
of the most magnificent things I ever
heard."
Col. Dockery holds up his side as
well as any Republican could. There
is a great deal in his speech that
savors of demagoguerybut the only
really objectionable feature to any one
with whom I have talked was bis mis
erable attempt to bring into a politi
cal discussion the negro question as
connected with the Episcopal church,
and I don't think there was a man in
the crowd here who did not believe
he would never have made the oharge
against either the Methodist or Bapr
tist church, which two are so much
stronger denominations. The De
mocracy of Burke are satisfied with
this day's work. X.

Chicaoo, Sept 24 A, dispatch from
San Antonio, Texas, says : The noto
rious "Lone Highwayman," who hair
for the past two year been a terror
to travelers in the vicinity of Kerrville,
has, without the assistance of a ain
gle confederate, robbed stage ooaches,
rifled mail bags and gone through aa
many as six commercial travelers in
broad daylight without the slightest
inconvenience or resistance, has been
killed. He was Bhot by Mrs. Lizzie
Hay, formerlyMiss Gibbons, at her
home on the heal prong of the RiO
Sabine, Bando county, last Monday.
The scene of the occurrence is so re
mote from railroad or telegraph ser
vice that the news did not reaoh town
until today, when Mrs, Hay visited
the city with a company of friends.
To your correspondent she told the
story of the killing as follows:
"Last Monday morning I was sit
ting in my room when suddenly a
masked man appeared on the front
allery. I told him to leave or I'd
ill him. He laughed and said:
You're a plucky woman but I'll have
what I want out of this house or
burn it down over your head.'
By this time I had a needle gun and
he bad entered. I drew it down on
him within 18 inches of his heart but
it snapped and he said: . 'I'll kill you,'
at the Same time producing a long.
keen-bladed knife and aiming it at
my throat. I warded off the blow .
but the next time he struck the end
of the knife stuck in my forehead,
making an ugly gash. At the same
time I reversed the ends of the gun
and struck him over the head, felling
him to the floor. Before he could
rise I had reversed the gun and
pulled trigger. This time it fired,
taking effect in his left side.. He gave
a yell and rolled out on the porch.
I looked lor another cartridge but
blood was streaming down my face
so I could not find them. I wiped it'
off with my apron and reloaded my
Sin as soon as I found the cartridges,
e had by this time almost reached
his horse. I took good aim but I
don't think I hit him. My husband
was up in the canon, but when he
come home a few hours after dark he
immediately organized a party of ran
gers. They traced him for. a distance
of 20 miles by his blood and found
him dead. Hit name is unknown but
he is recognized to be the same man
whose, bold depredations hare for two
years past terrorized tns whole of
Bando County. i ...
