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. 1 All r 3 ii trid. For sale bv James Plum. mer, Salisbury, N.

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.
