The "Mob Arrested."
The honor of North Carolina
has been redeemed, the outraged
dignity of the State has been satisfied,-and
the mob whereof Gov
ernor Glenn spoke has been "ar
rested and identified" by the tri
al, conviction and sentence of one
"lone ex-convict named Hall. Gaze
on the cnlpri ; and you will see in
him the fivei thousand howling
Outlaws who defied the State sol
diery, stormed the county jail,
dragged out therefrom three ne
groes and hanged them to a tree.
For doing all that alone and single-handed,
Hall will go to the
penitentiary for fifteen years.
You . see, he was a jail bird any
how, had no friends to speak of ,
and as somebody had to be made
a scape goat of , he was "arrested
and identified" as the mob. It
was an easy matter to get a jury
to convict him, and the other
4,999 "good citizens" who trampl
ed on law and order will be lost
v in that indefinable haze which
every now and then envelopes the
judiciaPmachinery. Oyezl Oyezi
"God reigns and the law is still
supreme I" Of course. And
"the mills of the gods grind slow-
ily, but they grind exceedingly
fine." Tubbyshore, tubbyshore!
So fine did they grind that out of
a harvest of five thousand, a mob
consisting of one ex-convict was
ground out. Asheville Citizen.

THERE IS A REASON FOR CHEWING
SUN CURED' TOBACCO
1
REYNOLDS
Chewers becoming tired of. heavily
sweetened un cured tobaccos caused
REYNOLDS' SUN CUR ED to quick
ly win from the old brands of much
longer standing the place as favorite with
sun cured chewers, because At contains
iust enough proper sweetening and fla
voring to preserve the quality of the leaf
and enhance its goodness, causing a large
increase in the demand for sun cured
tobaccos.
i
is not only pure sun cured, but it is made
from choice selections of the genuine sun
cured leaf grown where the best . sun
cured tobacco grows. It is like that you
formerly got, costing from 60c, to $1.00
per pound, and is sold at 50c. per pound
in 5c. cuts; strictly 10c. plugs, and is the
best value in sun cured tobacco that can
be produced for chewers.

MING
Gold Nuggets Galore,
J. Wilson Miller, of Sardis,
Crab Orchard township, was in
the city yesterday. Recently he
has found a half dozen beautiful
gold nuggets , in his fields. He
was ! showing one yesterday -that
he thinks is worth at least $15
and it is a beauty. Any ordinary
man could see that it was a bit of
pure , gold, Mr, Miller was try
ing to find some miner, who
knows his business, to examine
his place and search for a regular
veins.
There is much gold in this
county if it could be found -in
workable quantities. Much money
has been made here by gold mi
ners in days gone by and much
more will be made in time to
come. Gold hunters are turning
their attention to the mines of the
county. Mr. Miller is not a mi
ner; he knows nothing about
eold. except in coins such as he
gets for cotton.
' Tho pretty piece of gold that
he had yesterday weighed an
ounce. He had others just as
attractive but not so large.

we started our well-remembered C. O. D. sale, which caused us to go dinnerless, supperless and with

success. And this is to be the most successful sale of SUMMER SHOES we have- ever held.
