quickly responded, but the services of

being discovered in one of the upper

The Lexington Lynchers.
The parties engaged in the lynching of
Berrier at Lexington a couple of weeks
ago will find that the special sitting of
Judge Phillips is no child's play affair.
From copies of the Charlotte Chronicle
we learn the following :
Sheritr Leonard, of Davidson county,
received late Saturday night 32 bench
warrants, issued by Judge Phillips, for the
arrest of the supposed lynchers. He im
mediately summoned a large party of the
citizens of Lexington and Thomasville to
assist him in making the arrests, and up
to 7 o'clock Sunday evening there had
been eighteen or twenty men arrested
charged with murder. I he pusoners
first arrested weie committed to jail ; but
on the arrival of Judge Phillips ami So
licitor Long, the Judge ordered all of
them brought before him in the court
house about 3 o'clock where he told them
that he had been sent there to thorough
ly investigate this lynching case, and to
see that the laws of North Carolina were
enforced and respected, and that the
guilty be brought to punishment; and
that while he was determined that this
should be done, yet he did uot intend to
be arbitrary or oppressive to the men nr
rested. They, he said, should have a
speedy trial, and a fair and patient hear
ing. Every one should have time to get his
witnesses, consult eonnscl, &c. He then
odered that all prisoners already arrest
ed, and those that might be brought in
during the night be kept in the court
house instead of the jail, and he swore in
a guard to keep them safely until Mon
day morning.
Up to 10 o'clock Monday morning,
twenty-five had been arrested, and the
sheriff thought he would finally arrest all
the 32, with the exception of two who,
he thought, had left the county.
The following are the names of those
arrested :
A. C. Wood, B. C. Goble, John Wood.
Beutly Hunt, McDuff Farabel, Henry
Fritz, John-Wilson, C. A. Haneo, Hen
derson Shoaf, John Craver, Jell" Craver,

Rcpabl:can "Expert Testimony."
National Democrat.
The farmers of Iowa arc incensed be
cause Mr. Hutchinson, the- Republican
candidate for governor, has broadly inti
mated to them that they had better stick
to plowing and sowing and leave the rail
road question to tbe railroad men, who
are trained to that business and under
stand it. And yet this is true, is it not?
The managers of the railroads do know
more about the railroad business than
any other people do, we venture-to say
wit h very little fear of contradiction from
the farmers of Iowa. But the farmers of
Iowa do not intend to leave the railroad
men free to manage their business with
out restriction. Why? Not because the
farmers know more about the problem of
railroad management than the railroad
men do, but because the two classes have
diverse interests and the railroad men
are caring only for their own interests.
The farmers are compelled to interfere
for self protection. Nearly every State
has its railroad commission to curtail the
powers of the managers of the railroad
companies. The members of the Inter-
State Commerce Commission do not pre
tend that thev know more about run
ning railroads than railroad men, but
they are protecting the public interest.
But we desire to remind the Republican
farmers of Iowa that their candidate for
Governor has;proved his right to a place
iu the Republican party. The general
policy of this' party is to leave each class
to define the limits within which it will
prey on the public, on the ground stated
by Mr. Hutchinson, that that class knows
its own business better than any other
class. When the Republican party un
dertakes to make a tariff bill it goes
around like the unjust steward in the
Scriptures, inviting th's man to take the
bill and write down fifty, and that man
to write four score, as Iris share of the
raid to be made on the people's pockets.
According to the theory and practice off
the Republican party, the manufacturers
of pig iron should always determine the
amount of duty to be levied on that ar
ticle, and the sheep owners should fix
the duty on wool, and the woollen man
ufacturers should determine the duty on
broad cloths, and so on.
One of the most persistent complaints
made by Republicans of the Mills bill
was that it was not drawn up, as all Re
publican tariff bills are drawn up, by the
people who were to be its beneficiaries.
When the Mills bill went over to the
Senate the finance committee invited all
the manufacturers, for whose benefit the
tariff is maintained, to come down to
Washington and say how much heavier
they wanted the taxes on the people
than the Mills bill provided. The Re
publican farmers of Iowa ought not to
eomplain of Mr. Hutchinson ; it is an in
tegral part of the Republican system that
litigants shall be jurors in their own
cases, and the tax eaters shall deteimine
the size of the taxes.

Patrons of Husbandry.
Chicago, Oct. 28. A dispatch from
Port Huron, Mich., says: Not less than
75,000 Michigan farmers have joined the
Patrons of Husbandry since last May, ami
the number is increasing every week.
They threaten to become a controlling
power in the politics of the State, and
then to sp'-ead over the entire country.
The Patrons claim to have been forced
into it by monopolies and trusts, audi
they propose to organize a combination
that would strike te. ror to the hearts of
their enemies. At present, the Patrons
are devoting themselves exclusively to
merchants, and in every town where
they have a foothold they enter Into' an
iron-clad contract with one dealer in each
line of irade, to purchase only from him,
enacting a pledse that they shall not be
charged to exceed 12 per cent, advance
on wholesale prices. The Patrons have
lodges in 47 counties, Kent lead'ng with
a membership of more tnan 5,000. The
general offices are located in this city, and
Rev. F. W. Verbucan, an old-time Pres
byterian preacher, is Supreme President.
In February the State Convention will
be held at Flint. The year following

Death of Mrs. McCubbins.
Wheal the aged depart this life', al
though a subject of unfeigned grief to
those who stood near them, the commu
nity at large look upon it as one of those
events which must happen in the course
of human events. They remember that
while the young may, the old must sure
ly die, aud thus a difference is made.
The subject of this notice was young
and in the dews of youth. Less than a
year ago "she was married to Mr. J F.
McCubbins, also young, and together
they set out on the journey of life with
everyvpiospeet of long continued happi
ness There was nothing in the case of
either, separately considered, that mar
red the hope of a long aiid joyous union.
Less than a month ago Mrs. McCubbins
became a mother, shortly after which it
W3S found that she was not strong; aud al
though theie was no positive evidence of
danger the trouble continued and on
Tuesday morning culminated iu a spell
of fainting, from which she never rallied,
but which terminated fatally within four
or five hours.
The deceased was the second daughter
of Mr. C. C. Krider, the High Sheriff of
the countv. She wasa beloved member of
the Presbyterian church, and has left be
hind many, odd and young, to mourn the
carlj- departure of one who bid so fair to
be a useful member of society. But she
has gone to grace a purer realm, and en
joy a rest unknown to the living except
as they see it hy faith.

Promptly at 12 o'clock Monday Judge
Phillips opened his court for the investi
gation of the case. The court house was
densely packed with people, but the best
of order prevailed. The sheriff reported
as executed twenty-six warrants on the
parties. Robbins and Raper and S. E.
Williams appeared for the prisoners,
Solicitor Long prosecuting. The court
took a recess at half past one o'cleck to
enable the Solicitor to get his witnesses
together.
Tuesday and Wednesday was spent in
examining witnesses for tne estate, ine
principal witnesies are sheriff Leonard
and jailor Kenney. They were both in
the jail at the time the door was broken
in, the keys demanded and Berrier taken
out, and as the men were not masked.
they could uot help but recognize some
of them. It is a pretty strong case as to
who took Berrier out, but as the lynch
ing was done a mile from town and in the
dark, it will be a hard matter to find out
who took part in the actual lynching.
Opinion seem to be divided as to
whether the State will make out a case
or not. Considerable anxiety is express
ed by the friends of the accused but the
accused themselves seem to -think they
are in no danger.
