Carolina Wathman. THURSDAY-, JUE 10, 1886. Mob Law, It is truly alarming to witness the raj.i'l growth of mob law, and unless something is done to arrest it, the criminal laws of the State are likely to ilall into utter contempt. A more prompt, vigorous, and certain punish ment of criminals should be provided bj law. ' It would better to extend the ' jurisdiction of magistrates to the trial and condemnation of criminals than to bare mob law become the rule of the rind. Existing laws have been made with reference to ancient maxims and principles. They are slow in opera tion, tedious and vexatious in process, uncertain in results, and extremely ex pensive in practice. They are, in fact, unsuitcd to the present times in this country. As a people we have become severely practical ; aire moving as rapidly as steam and j electricity can drive us. The conditions are amazing ly different from what they were a few years ago. A work commenced is brushed in a day, whereas years were once required to accomplish it. The people have no time, nor patience, nor money to waste on the slow process of law in plain cases; and above all, they will not submit to the mockery of jus tice in the acquittal of the guilty. These facts ought to be duly considered by law makers, and statues enacted to meet the requirements of the age; oth wise we see no hope of arresting the present tendency to anarchy. Murder, Arson anil Lynching. Two horrible scenes wore enacted in Davidson county, Friday night and Sunday morning last. Alfred Long, colored, visited the house of Mr. A. J. McBride, Friday nighty for the pur pose of robbery. Hei found the old gentleman sitting by the fire, and his wife working out dough. He fired two shots into Mr. Mcbride, who fell dead on the floor. The old lady roads an out cry and he killed her. He then went in search ol money, having learned during the dy that the old gentleman hand $200 in his house. Having secured the unjmey, he next set fire to the house and ranaway. The neighbors knew nothing of the dread ful affair until next day The house and its contents were! burned to ashes, and near the fire placej were found the charred and almost destroyed remains of the two old people! Suspicion fell on Alfred Long and hijs brother-inlaw, Womack, both of whom were arrested and taken to the jai) in Lexington, Saturday forenoon, puring the day, through the diligent efforts of the aroused community, evidence was pick ed up against Long. His wife, on be ing interrogated, makle a confession which implicated him and the people became convinced thdt Long was the guilty man. Their indignation rose, as fact was joined to fjjet, until, collec ting in a considerable body, they went ior the prisoner and led him out to execution. Long m;ide a confession of his guilt He was tying by the neck, Sunday morning at 3 O'clock, and the crowd slowly disperse! to their respec tice homes. Womacfc, his brother-in- law, was released, as ho evidence was found against him. Since the above was that a negro named written we learn Hairs ton, and Ljngs wife, have been arrested and jailed as accomplices. Prohibition Election. Elections under the of the Code were held local option law inquite a large number of towns and townships last Monday, and we subjoin a report of the resalt It is gratifying to see that the people of severaHmprtant towns are agreed to put an end tp the liquor busi nm in their midst, public sensiment when fairly expressed jat the ballot box by an open election, becomes law, and the people are by bribit and training satisfied with It, and jiejd it the cheer ful obedience required to give it effi- aency.

Mr. Mauney is worthily competent in every respect, with considerable experience besides. Montgomery Vidette. It is generally conceded that Rowan will present the name of Mr. Mauney to the next Judicial Convention for the office of Solicitor. Mr. Mauney pos sesses in an eminent degree many of qualifications requisite for the proper discharge of the duties of this respon sible office. He has for many years enjoyed a lucrative practice at this Bar, and has won an enviable distinction as a learned, painstaking and industrious lawyer. Besides he has had considerable experience as a prosecuting officer, hav-H ing filled acceptably the office of, Soli citor of the Inferior Court. His nomi nation would be received with great satisfaction by his may friends in this county, and his popularity would se cure him a large and enthusiastic vote. Those Gifts.

The bill reported by the Committee on Agriculture to tax this modern substitute for butter, passed the House, June 3d, by a vote of 177 to 101 our representative, Henderson, voting in the negative. The Shelby Aurora comes this week in double sheet form, printed on ele gant paper, and illustrated, to show up the business interests and local attrac tions of the town and county. It is an exceedingly liberal effort on the part of the proprietor to promote the welfare of the community, and should be duly appreciated and rewarded. After all it is not every day that a yonng'lady can drive np to the White House, and lead out the President of United States to the marriage altar. Miss Folsom enjoys the distinction of having been the first lady, who, in the history of out country has thus signal ized the power of love. The very rarity of the -incident is enough to make people talk of it, and it is there fore the great theme of the day. There has been no marriage in this country wnicn called forth sueh universal con gratulations. The FayettevUle Observer relates the particulars of an attempt at highway robbery, on. the Cape Fear bridge Saturday night last. Two men con cealed on the bridge sprung out on Mr. H. H.

McAden, of Charlotte, Mr. McAden declined a few days ago. to fight a duel because it is against the laws of the State. "Why challenge i . , , 1 me to fight a duel to right your wrongs when yon are not my inferior physi cally," asks Mr. McAden. To which Pearson answers "the duel is more hon orable than a street fight with deadly weapons. We suppose the difficulty has ended, as Pearson says he Will hereafter ignore his adversary. Feminine curiosity is without height, depth, width or length. Two thousand women visited the White House premi ses the day after the President's mar riage to see the room and its decora tions,, in which the ceremony was per formed. Bat thev only reached the main entrance. Here they were arrest ed by the door keepers, who informed them that the house was closed for the day. What a vexation ! The store room of the White House is said to be loaded with presents of all kinds, sent from all directions. The packages are unopened and will so re main until the President and his bride return from the bridal excursion. Meanwhile they the presents are still-tumbling in. It is a remarkable fact that a few years ago the Constitution of the State of Michigan had a prohibition clause in it against saloons. The city authori ties of Ann Harbor disregarded the law and licensed saloons at a high fig ure. Other cities following, did the same. The Prohibition clause was re pealed. And there are now 47 big sa loons in Ann Harbor where before un der the non-enforced prohibition clause there were about 80, many of them of theHowest kind. But the liqur busi ness of the State is said to be enor mous, and it is laid to the indiscreet ef forts of the prohibitionists themselves, Michigan having given St. John the largest vote polled for him by any State. The New Orleans Times-Democrat reports a novel case of love and law at Fort Worth, Texas. Moses Prince and George Engler were both courting Miss Dora Lacey. Prince got a license to marry her, but hearing that her parents were restraining her, he sued out a writ of habeas corpus and had the girl brought before a judge. On the stand she said she was not restrained, and that she did not want to eto with that man, pointing at Prince. Mean while Engler had also obtained a o license to marry her. But the Court dismissed the case, Miss Dora beins of (.7 age, and she left in the care of her pa rents. Pnnce then sued out an in junction against her marriage by any parson, or State official, and at last ac counts the deputy sheriff was at' Mr. Lacey 's gate ready to execute the pro cess on any one approaching to perform the marriage ceremony. . The riot and bloodshed in the Hay market square, Chicago, has been re ported on by the Grand Jury having it under investigation for three weeks past, and they declare that it was a premeditated design to murder. They say that not exceeding one hundred perhaps not more than 40 or 50 con stitute the leadership of the anarchists, but that they have weak followers to sev eral hundred in number; and have, to some extent, obtained influence and fa vor with the members of several trades unions; and even succeeded in intimi dating a wider circle of people. They believe the police of the city are equal to the task of ferreting out and bring ing to justice the offenders; and they take the occasion to denounce the hith erto unrebuked demonstrations of these disturbers by procession ands speeches and flaunting in the face of the public offensive banners all in opposition to and in defiance of law and order. Oleomargarine and Butterine have engaged much of the attention of Con gress of late. The dairy men of the Northern States would proscribe the manufacture of these cheap substitutes for butter, and to oblige them the House has had under discussion a bill to tax it out of existence.

An incendiary fire was kindled in the cellar of a house on Canal Street Chicago, June 7th, which resulted in the death of every member of two families in the house,, eight persons in all. The family in an adjoining house Had a fearful struggle to escape with their lives. Olandstone Defeated. Gl andstone's Home Rule Bill for the relief of Ireland, of which there has been so much talk both in this country and abroad, was defeated in the British House of Commons June 7th, on its 2d reading by a vote of 341 to 311 The House, on the motion of Mr. Gladstone, then adjourned until Thurs day, but not before a ringing speech had been made by Parnell, and very high excitement. Hopes of the Taylorsville R. R. are reviving. The Chief Engineer of the Richmond & Danville R. R. Co., which has about scooped up all the railroads about here, has recently reconoitered the route from Statesville via Taylors ville' to W llkesboro, with the view of ascertaining what there is in the coun try traversed for a railroad to expect. The R. & D. Co. will finish the road to Taylorsville and beyond if the encour agements to do so are sufficient. The road is already graded from Statesville to Taylorsyille, and the cross ties paid for and ready to be laid. are "Pay all your Just Debts." Such is the caption of a newspaper article. ii . i. .. . ttcu, jes, "pay your oeots, it is a general practice in these parts; with some conditions annexed. If a fellow owes you and knows you can t make him pay, there is sometimes a hitch in the business, and he stops to consider whether or not he ought to pay; and when a debtor gets hard down on this question the devil is sure to give him a lift m the direction of his doubts, and then he don t pay. Mr. Manning, Secretary of the Treas ury, tendered his resignation to the President on the 4th; but the Presi dent declined its acceptance, at least tor the present, and asked the Secre tary to take an extended leave of ab sence until October 1st. and if his health has not then improved he may renew the tender.

There is a poisonous scorpion in some of the cities of Mexico, whose sting is fatal to children, sometimes in two or three hours. No antidote has yet been found. The authorities pay from 1 to 3 cents a head for their destruction, and in Durango as many as 100,000 have been killed in a year without any sensible diminution of the number. - The Morrison Tariff bill, it is said, will be forced up at this session, not withstanding little hope of passing it. Western members of Congress are un willing to go home to their constitu ents without having at least put them selves on record in its favor; and other influences cooperating with this motive, something may yet be done.
