Prisoner Died.
Stateville, N.: C W. T. Potter
a white man, hailing from Kentucky
was last week sent to the chain
gang on charge of drunkenness. On
Friday , afternoon he was taken
violently ill and died Friday night.
Sortie. of our citizens, belieying that
Potter came to his death as a re
sult of the hard work required of
him to which he was unaccustomed,
demanded a coroner's jury to pass
upon the case. After hearing
several witnesses' the jury render
ed the following verdict: "The -deceased
came to his death from
hemorrhage, of the brain brought
on by dissipation and violent ex
ercise in the hot sun." Suit will
likely be brought against the
guards, who were placed over the
deceased, cruel and for inhumane
treatment. .

Called Them Monkeys.
A few years ago a sanctification
preacher, Eevi A. B. Crumpler, set
Eastern North Carolina afire and
created immense excitement in
some of the rural sections. It wTas
asserted bv some who investigated
the matter that more than a dozen
persons were brought to the in
sane asylum as the result of his
harrangues. For the ; past few
years he has lived in Goldsboro,
where he is pastor of the HolinesB
Tabernacle. He adopted very sen
sational methods. His last ser
mon was a denunciation of secret
societies, aud he specially de
nounced the Elks and the Red
Men, declaring the members were
either monkeys or came from mon-
hkeys. -
