SAMPSON.
A Negro Desperado Who Made a Crimin
al Assault on a White Lady Hanged by
Masked Men.
A negro man who made a criminal
assault on a white lady in Sampson
county was lynched last Sunday night,
and all yesterday his body dangled from
a telegraph pole offthe line of C, F. &
Y. V, railroad, near the village ot Gar
land, a-warning to air evil doers.
Particulars of the affair as learned by
a Star reporter are as follows:
Last Saturday, Mrs. Peterson, aged
about 55 years, wife of Mr. R. W. Peter
son, living at Parkersburg, a station on
the C. F. & Y. V. railroad left, home to
visit her son, at Garland, about five
miles from Parkersburg, She was alone,
walking along the railroad track, and
when about two miles from Garland,
discovered that she was followed
by a negro man. She left the road
and crossed a field to a house
that was in sight, and after a short visit,
ventured back to the railroad. Seeing
nothing ot the man, she resumed her
journey and had gone some distance
when she came suddenly upon the ne
gro, sitting by the side of the road. Mrs.
Peterson passed the man and her fears
of molestation she began to think were
groundless, when thi fellow jumped up
and overtaking her struck her on
the side of the head with his fist,
the blow knocking Mrs. Peterson into
a ditch by the side of the road. Fortu
nately she was not stunned by the blow,
and when the negro jumped upon her,
threatening to kill her if she made any
outcry, she struck him across the nose
with a stick about a foot lone she had in
her hand, and at the same time screamed
for help so loudly that the negro took
fright and left her.
Mrs. Peterson, weak and exhausted
by her struggle with the brute, man
aged to reach her son's house, where she
told what had befallen her. Parties
were soon in pursuit, news of the
outrageous assault spread rapidly and
late that afternoon the negro was ar
rested at Parkersburg by Mr. George
Ellis and the section master of the rail
road at that place. He was taken
before Mrs. Peterson, with his face all
bloody from the blow she had 1 given
him with the stick, and was fully identi
fied as her assailant. The man, himself,
acknowledged that he had attacked the
fady with evil designs and admitted
that he might have killed her if he had
not been frightened off by her
cries that he feared would '" bring
some one to her aid. He said his
name was Mack Best; that he was a pen
itentiary convict from Richmond coun
ty, and having completed his time, was
discharged at Red Springs about ten
days ago.
THE LYNCHING.
The prisoner was put iu charge of two
armed men and securely confined in a
building at Parkersburg, it being the in
tention of his captors to take him
by train on Monday to Clinton,
the county seat. Sunday night, how
ever, a body of masked men, estima
ted at fifty or more, disarmed the
men guarding the prisoner, took him to
the place where the outrage' was at
tempted, and hung him with a rope to a
telegraph pole. After hanging the ne
gro the mob made sure of their work
by sending a rifle ball through his body.
The body had not been cut down
when the train which arrived here last
evening passed the place, whichns about
47 miles from Wilmington. It is said
the fireman on the train claimed to
know Best, who he said was a desperate
criminal, and had committed an assault
on a white woman in Sumter county, S,
C. His body, it is said, is covered with
scars of gun-shot wounds that he had re
ceived some time in his career ot vilainy.
Meeting of the Board of Health.
The Board of Health met last night at
the Court House.
" Mayor Ricaud was elected Chairman
by acclamation.
After having taken the chair Mayor
Ricaud announced that the object of the
meeting was to "elect a Superintendent
of Health to fill the vacancy caused by
the expiration ot Dr. Potter's term.
Dr. Wood then placed in nomination
for the position Dr. Jewett.
Dr. Potter was nominated for re-election
by Dr. W. J. H. Bellamy;
There being no other nominations
tellers were appointed to take the ballot,
which resulted in the re-election of Dr.
Potter by a vote of nine to six.
Dr. Potter was then declared Super
intendent for the ensuing term of two
years.

of sanitary regulations and street im
provements at some length, but did not
come to any definite conclusions regard
ing either.

meeting in the near future and decide
upon some plan by which to make
gceater improvements for Wilmington
than heretofore if possible.

ren, who have been rusticating at Lake

COTTON FACTS AND FIGURES.
It will soon be time for the cotton
bears to have an "inning." r . .
Savannah News:. All the cotton'
that has arrived at this port this season
so far has been wrapped in Jute bag
ging, with the exception of a small
amount in pine straw bagging. Jute ap
pears to have the day. There will pro
bably be little of the white cotton bag
ging seen this year, and there will be no
profit made by giving the bales an extra
wrapping of jute, over the cotton bag
ging at the compresses this year.
While co'm plaint is made of too
much rain for, cotton in most of the
States, dry weather is said to be playing
havoc with the staple in Texas.
Mr. O. S. Hayes, of B.obeson, says
he has a better cotton crop this year
than he had last year, and Mr. Will.
Graham, of the same county, says his
crop is the best he ever had, and will
yield about 2,000 pounds., seed cotton
per acre.
Messrs. Henry W. Frost & Co., of
Charleston and Savannah, in the sea
island cotton report dated Sept. 2, say
that the crop for 1890-'91 is the . largest
ever marketed, . reaching 68,126 bags.
