Lippiucott's Magazine- '
The complete novel in LippincotVs
for November is called "Creole and
Puritan," and is by T. C. De Leon,
author of "Cross Purposes," "The
Rock or the Rye." e"tc., etc. In this,
his last romanceMr. De Leon hag
surpassed himself, and has painted
a charming and graphic : picture of
West Point life, upon both its prac
tical and social side. The charac
ters of. two young men, one an im
pulsive Creole, the Other a cool
headed New Englander, are brought
into fine contrast. There is a capi
tal description of a carnival, and
also of an international horse race.
Nothing in recent fiction sinoe the
famous chariot race in "Ben Hur"
can compare with the wonderfully
realistic description! of the latter
exciting event. The scene bf the
story drifts to Egypt, and here Mr.
De Leon shows himseft as much at
home as at West Point or New Or
leans. -. The heroine of the romance
is a lovely character,.but contrasted
with her is a wily, beautiful woman,
who manages to do much migchief.
The tale is brought to a clo$e

threads (ire. unravelled, and an unr

Th Itobegon County Swamp Angela.;
We find in the Charleston News
and Courier, copied from the. Macon
Telegraph, what purports to be an
account of Henry -Berry Lowrey
and his band of . Robeson county
"Swamp Angels." The account
takes up a column and a quarter of
sojid type in the News and Courier
and in all of that space there is
scarcely one word of truth.. The
Munchausen who indited it .(it is
dated at Washington City) ascribes
the origin of the gang . to-1 avsailor
froinov.J'ortuguesei eswtsiweked
on the coast some 25Ayears previous
to the late war. He found his way
into Robeson county and married
a Creole woman, yith a - trace of
colored blood in her veins."; The
result of this marriagewas "a half
dozen stalwart sons and several
daughters.'!- Henry. Berry Lowrey
was the oldest of these. They: were
conscripted by a body of home
guard during the war but . escaped
and hid and as old Lowrey refuse!
to reveal their hiding place he and
his wife were both shot dead on
their own ? threshold. Then the
whole family swore a vendetta
against the whites, the girls,, who
were all "magnificent brunettes,"
as well as the boys. The resblt of
this was the feud which followed
the war. The Lowreys ivere. all
of course, "intense Unionists." Their
vengenee seems to have been
prni
cipally directed against the j
Mc-
Leans, McNeils and - McCIearys, of
Robeson county. In all "a seero or
more" of the families of the offend
ers were killed. Rhoda Lowrey,
Henry Berry's handsome wife,; was
once arrested and lodged in jail at
Lumberton, but H. B..sent word
that if she was not released hewoud
burn the town. Thereupon tlie af
frighted citizens got a carriage and
put her in and sent her back to her
husband. Henry Berry was him
self once an inmate of the jail at
Wilmington, whence he escaped and
returned to his native heath "in and
around' Scrabbletown" where ' the
devil broke loose-again and many
more murders were committed. The
veracious author of the tale was in
formed by some ope who paid a visit
toll. B. while in jail here that "he
was a man of 30 odd years, tall and
spendidly. proportioned, herculean
even, with a dark Spanish face and
an expression of command and fear
lessness." (. :
At one time "the Lowreys, armed
to their teeth, would ride the high
ways of Robeson, dash through the
streets of Lumberton &c." Some
times, too, "a swamp angel would
calmly board a train and ride for
miles with a sheriff who he knew
had a warrant. for his arrest, would
stop the oars in a piece of woods,
and would get off." Finally, he
says that "Henry Berry Lowrey es
caped, and with several of his fol
lowers, was supposed to have joined
his future with the tTames boys."
This is a mere outline of as ridi
culous a pack of lies as was ever
strung together and palmed off
for facts on the confiding
public. Henry Berry Lowrey was
not a Portugese but his progenitors
were here before a white man had
ever set foot on the soil of America.
He was one ofthe tribe of Croatan
Indians who removed inland' from
the coast hundreds of years ago and
which Hamilton McMillan claims,
with j much reason, to have been
incorporated among the lost col
onlsts of Roanoke. His ancestors
fought the British in the "rebellion"
of 1776.- There wasn't a drop of
negro blood in his veins. The tribe
at one time themselves owned negro
slaves and the negro has never
with them had any social privileges.
They were not Union men during
the late war but strong for the
South. Col. John J. Hedrick, of
this city, has had them at the bat
tlements of Fort Holmes, with arms
in their hands, ready to fight to the
death for the gputhern causer They
did not swear a vhndetta against
the whites because of the murder of
their father and mother. There is
no such place; as Scrabbletown
anywhere in Robeson county. The
outlws who formed but a small
part of the tribe, didn't own a horse
between them; they didn't ride on
public roads and werclnever known
to ; gallop through the streets "of
JjUinbcrtou; they were never known
to board a -railroad train and but
seldom did they approach a station.
"Rhoda Lowrey was a - very hand -
some" woman and Henry Berry was

very jealous of her but Rhoda was
never outlawed; she was never cap
tured and carried to jail at Lximber
ton and was j therefore never re
leased from jail and sent home in a
carriage. Likewise, as Henry Berry
Lowrey was never in jail in W il
mington it stands to reason that he
never escaped -thence, nor was : he
ever interviewed while there. The
d esc ri ptioh of h i iu w as r id i cnl ous.
Weh aye seen hini and he would not
have answered , the - description in
any respect, save"; the ; long." black
hair.- Finally, Henry Berry Lowrey
could- jiever - have joined Jesse
James gang because 'he was f as
dead as Julius C?esar long before the
gang was ever heard of. He was
found dead and fully identified, with
his empty gun by his side. Whether
he killed himself or was accidentally
killed will never be known. .
The Croatans are to day honest,
reliable, hard-working citizens; of"
Robeson county.! They have their
own'schools and their own churches
and they cast two hundred votes for
Cleveland and Fowle iu 1888.
.The Macon Telegraph ought to
sift the truth in its 'correspondent's
article, wrap it up carefully in cot.
ton batting and jth'en enclose it in a
mustard seed forpreservation.

Ladies and Gentlemen;
I propose . to tell you a
plain, unvarnished tale. I
bought to-day 72 HEAD OK
CATTLE and paid for
them. Of these 30 are from
Ashe and Buncombe and are
clover fed. They are not or
dinary Beef Cattle prepared
for market but are a special,
lot. They were bought by
Mr. G. B. Austin, who is one
of the best judges of Beef
Cattle in the State.
I pledge my reputation
that they are the BEST
BEEF CATTLE seen here j
in at least a twelve-month.
They weigh from 600 to 1,200
pounds -each and areas fat as
they can hold. The -Beef
from our Eastern co unties is
not quite so fat as this but it
is equally ; tender and well
fed. Some of all of these
Meats will be found on sale
on my Stalls to-morrow Fri-
uayj and batii rday. ; ? 1 y
Now, Ladies and Gentle
men, help me and I will help
you. I Hvill keep these Meats
on 'Csal all 'of the FALL,
WINTER and SPRING, and
I promise you THE BEST
always. , -.v.,v n ; y,, ',y
This will do' for to-clay. .
Next week I will have more
to say. In the meantime and
