The Nej;ro Who is Supposed to Have Com
mitted Murder Last Pall Not Yet
Finally Identified, i
Creech, the supposed murderer of
the woman in Florence, S. C, was de
livered to Sheriff McLandon, of
Florence county yesterday, who came
in on the 1 :15 train from the South,
and left with his prisoner at 3:45
P.M. ' i . V :
Sheriff McLendon did not know
the negro who committed the murder,
and therefore could not ; identify
Creech as the guilty party. A scar,
however, on Creech's face was found
just as described by those who knew
the man who'did the killing, j
If the prisoner turns out to be the
murderer, the reward of $100 will, go
to Officers C. A. Stead and Alexander
Wells, who made the arrest on infor
mation given by a colored woman.
From the reward will be deducted jail
fees, railroad fare of the sheriff both
ways and the railroad fare of the
prisoner, the reward being for the de
livery of the culprit. It is not. alto
gether certain that Creech is the
man, although so positively recog
nized by a Florence negro, who came
up for the purpose ' a few days ago.
Several persons in Florence ac
quainted with all the parties involved
in the shooting, say; that the picture
of Creech is not that of the mur

Victory perched upon the banner of
theO. A. N. base ball team yesterday
afternoon, giving them the best two
out of three games in the series against
the A. C. L. boys. The battle was
"hard fought," but play as they might,
the fates seemed dead against Captain
Sanders and his - men so that at
the finish the score stood 10 to 8 in
iavor oi ine u. A. JN s. There were
"bleachers," "fans," "rooters,".
"sports" and all the other necessary
attaches of a first class base
ball game.. And . what .the play-
ers : appreciated best of all was
that the grandstand i was crowded
with young ladies, : who entered
heartily into the game and freely ap
plauded their favorite teams. They
were right evenly divided, so that
despite the hard lines which befell
the A. C. L. boys there was no cessa
tion of enthusiasm for their workj
their lady friends and others doing
all they could to turn the tide and
cheer them on to victory. I

CITIZENS ASK
FOR THE
DISCHARGE.
Of the Man or Men Who Were Respon
sible for the Shackling of J. Tillman
Howard With a Negro.
The - following communication,
which explains itself, was mailed to
the Board of County Commissioners
yesterday: ! - C .
Wilmington, N. C, June 10, 1899.
To the Board of County Commis
sioners:
The underlying principle of the
movement for white supremacy, which
resulted last year in the substitution
of good government for bad, was not
based in the slightest u!pon the mere
desire tor political power, but had its
root and force in the claim that under
equal conditions, the white man, by
reason of his race, was always and
everywhere the superior of the negro,
and was therefore entitled, as he in
tended, to administer the government
in the best interest of both races. To
lose sight of this principle for an in
stant means a step towards return to
the conditions which for so many
years menaced our safety and re
stricted our business (progress. We
cannot afford even a suggestion of
such a step, nor permit the slightest
deviation from the path which we have
marked out as. calculated to increase
our prosperity. ' Viewed from this
standpoint, matters that might be con
sidered trivial in tnemselves take on a
serious aspect when looked upon as
indicative of a forgetfulness of the
occurrences of last year. Any office
holder or public employe, who does
not understand and subscribe to this
doctrine and practice it, should not be
allowed to remain in the employ of a
