Tlris community was shocked Sun
day afternoon by the startling news
that Mr. B. F. Penny, a well known
merchant of the city, had been
dangerously shotby a negro youth
wWbstepping off the A. C. L. south
Bound train at Leland, eight miles
from Wilmington.
The name .of the negro who com
j roitted the fiendish deed is Sam Carra

lives anct works at Navassa, across the
river, per shot Mr. Penny twice, the
first bullet taking effect in his left
side, just (Over the heart, and the
other in the lower abdomen, the ball

jfigi train on which both Mr. Penny
and the negro Carraway were passen
gers, left Wilmington for' Florence,
-is. C, at 3.4o bunaay afternoon in
charge of Captain Carmon. Mr. Penny
was going to his farm near Lelend.
Captain (Jarmon toiu a star re-
norter yesterday that Carraway had
a ticket to Navassa and continued his
ride to Leland. When he went to
ParrawaV for his fare he was told
that it had been collected. The Cap
tain revlied that only two fares to
Leland had been collected, one a
milase .from Mr. Penny and the
other, a ticket, from some other gen
tleman, and insisted that Carraway pay
his fare. The negro called the Captain
ad d lie, appending an extremely
vile epithet, and made a dash to as
sault him. During the scuffle which
followed Captain Cannon's wrist was
painfully scratched or cut. Captain
LaMott came to Captain Cannon's aid,
and noticing that the negro was at
tempting to draw his pistol, presented
his knife and told him if he drew the
stol he would "cut his heart out!"
e negro- quieted down and said that
he had no pistol. Another negro, a
friend of his', paid his fare (ten cents)
for him, ana nothing more was
thought of the incident by either con
ductpr'or the passengers.
when the train stopped at Leland
several passengers were quietly step
ping off the front end of the car
when Carraway passed quickly out at
the rear and walked toward the front
where both the conductors With Mr.
Pennv and other passengers were. As
he went he wa3 heard to say ; that he
would Have him one man anyway
When just in front of the crowd he
drew bis pistol and began firing. As
he shot he retreated, holding the pis
tol over his shoulder. ' 'Three shots
were fired, two taking effect on Mr.
Penny as described, and the other one
doing no damage at all.
The negro's conduct was so unex
pected that every one was astounded
and before a movement looking io his
capture could be started he had dashed
away and made good bjs escape.
Mr. b. r . Williams, of Iceland, was
here yesterday. He was an eye-witr
"ness of the shooting. His two sons,
nenry and Luther heard the negro
Carraway declare his purpose to "get
him one man." Mr. Williams says the
negro dashed into the woods before
any one could get to hjm.
When the shooting occurred Mr,
Penny was standing On the second
i siep oi tne car and Cant. La. Mott was
.just above him. It is thought that
the negro really fired at Capt La Mott
When it was ascertained that Mr.
Penny was shot Capt. Carmon brought
the train back to Wilmington
wiui tne wounded man, tie was
met. 'here by Dr. Russell, who went
withr. Penny to his residence, 109
South Seventh street, where Dr. Bel
Jamy assisted him in giving the needed
-medical attention. It was almost 5
o clock before the train again started
on the trip to Florence, In the mean
time th- authorities had been notified
of the crime committed.
The Atlantic Coast Line blood
hounds at Florence were telegraphed
'or, but did not come until yesterday
morning on a special train. They Were
met at Leland by Mr. C. W. Bidgood,
w the Coast Line, police officers Mur
fay and Rowan, of the Wilmington
force, and several officers and citizens
ifom Brunswick county. They hunted
the greater portion of the day, but
ailed to locate the fugitive. The
trail was too old for the hounds to
ouow. The officers went to
home of the negro's mother,
pwu a mile and a half from Le
'ana. She protested that she had
not seen her son since early Sunday
morning before the shooting Oc

AN AMUSING EPISODE.
Illustrative of the Presumption and Arro
rogance of the Negroes Under the
Present Rep-Pop Regime.
An episode occurred in Justice
Bunting's court yesterday which is
significant as illustrative of the pre
sumption and arrogance generated
and being rapidly developed among-
the negroes under the present Russell-Republican-Negro
rule regime.
The two street car conductors.
Messrs. Joe Bryant and T. B. Jackson,
were .being tried on the warrants
sworn out by Elijah Cause, col
ored, charging Bryant with assaulting
him with a deadly weapon, and Jack
son merely with assault and battery,
on a street car last Wednesday night
(Both cases were, by the way, dis
missed.) Cause had employed A. W.
Scott, a young negro lawyer, to pros
ecute the cases for him.
In the midst of the trial, while Con
ductor Jackson was on the stand, Law
yer Scott told the courtthat he pro
posed to show that there was an un
fair discrimination by conductors and
motor m en against negroes in their treat
ment on the cars. He asked Jackson if
it was not a rule of the company to
treat all passengers alike. Jackson re
plied that it was. "Then," said Scott,
"You do discriminate. You don't
help 'colored ladies' offand on the cars
as you do white ladies. That is so, is
it not?" Jackson repliedlthat it was,
and was promptly dismissed from the
stand as though a telling legal point
had been made. And a general mur
mer of approval swept through the
court room. Gen. Mang'r Skelding, of
the Street Car Co., insisted upon going
upon the stand to make a statement
and was allowed to do so, over the pro
test of the negro lawyer. Mr. Skelding
stated that 'the conductors were re
quired to collect fares and keep order
on the cars, and the matter of extend
ing courtesies was left entirely with
them.
The taking off evidence concluded,
Scott arose with touch gusto to address
the Court. He said: "There seems to
be a great and growing tendency,
especially among a certain class of
people in this section, to disregard
the first clause of the Consti-
tution of the United: States.
which declares that all men are
born free and equal with certain in
alienable rights."
He then turned his attention to the
case m question and made an argu
ment in keeping with his previous
vindictive style; concluding with the
demand that probable cause be found
and Bryant bound over to the Criminal
Court, and Jackson fined to the full
extent of the law. The Justice, on the
other hand, promptly dismissed both
cases. ' -

For want of space a valuable com
munication giving particulars of the

He Declares that Any Negro Who Votes
the Democratic Ticket Should lie

Lee Person, (col.,) is the Repub
lican nominee for the Senate in
Edgecombe, and the Populists have
arranged to fuse With the Republi
cans. In a letter from Tarboro to
the Charlotte Observer, Mr. H
C. Bryant, writes:
E. j
"Leo Person is the smartest poli
tician of his race in the South. "V He
is well educated and intelligent,
young nd active. On the Btump
he arouses the negroes against the
white people. He draws the color
line. Last Monday night, the 12th
inst., in a speech to negroes, at
Mildred, this county, he said:
" 'Go to the elections well armed,
with rocks in your pockets, clubs in
your hands, and carrying your pis
tols. And don't allow any officer to
arrest you after you have registered
until the day after the election, un-
less you have stolen something or
killed somebody. Come to me if
they get after you. "

he declared in substance that the
poor white man and the negro were
now equal; that the poor white man
had already begun to invite the
negro into his house, and soon the
poor white man would invite
the negro to eat and sleep
with him. Also in the course of
his speech Person declared that any
negro who voted the Democratic
ticket should be lynched, and he
for one, would walk from Rocky
Mount to Old Sparta to help lynch
him. There were present during
this vindictive speech probably fifty
or more people.

ADAMS TYPE OF COURAGE.

Is Arrested.
Qlrl
In his charge to the grand jury of
Columbus county Judge Spencer B.
Adams said rape was a lesser crime
than seduction, because it required
courage to commit rape. Well, here is
an account of a horrible9 affair in
which the type of courage referred to
by Judge Adams is prominent:
The Charlotte News of the 19th
says:
"News reached here to-day or a
horrible crime committed in Meek
lenburg county;
"The nrettv eighteen -year-old daugh
ter of Mr. Elmer Brown, a well known
citizen who lives near Croft, was
walking along the road yesterday
afternoon on her way to her uncle's,
which is about three-quarters of a mile
from her father s house. She was ac
companied by her little brother who is
onlv about 6 years oiu.
Just as they neared a cane-brake on
the road' side in a part of the road
which cannot be seen at any great dis
tance a negro emerged from tne un-
denrrowth beside the road, bhe was
terriblv frightened. He drew a pistol,
put it to her head and scared her into
submission while he accomplished his
hellish nurnose.
Her little brother was very much
srarnd and ran awav screaming.
Miss Brown s screams were Iheara
by a man named Johnson and his
companion, who were walking along
.Via road not far awav. But they
reached her too late to catch the vile
wretch, who had made his escape
The two men saw the negro, who ran
into the woods
Miss Brown was carried to her
home. The nervous shock was so
great that she is said to be in a crit
ical condition. In fact, one gentle
man tell the News that she may not
survive the shock.
"As soon as the crime was discov
ered the alarm was eriven and a- large
crowd soon gathered., Before long a
hundred and fifty men had surround
ed the woods into which the negro
ran. In the crowd were fifty mounted
men from Huntersviue.
The Observer of the 20th, says:
At 3:30 o'clock this morning it was
learned that the negro had been cap
lured and identified by the girl and
Mr. Johnson and others. His name is
Joe Jackson. He came from York
ville, 8. C. He works for Mr. Pope.
He was one of those arrested in the
morning, but turned loose because he
had so disguised himself with a
change of clothes that the girl didn't
recognize him.
The trial was held before W. Z.
Alexander, magistrate, in Elmer
Brown's house. The evidence was
most convincing. The negro didn't
tell a straight story. He was , bound
over to October court.
'Squire Alexander made a little
speeehjtothe crowd to let the law
take its course. Deputy Sheriff Joe
Black will bring the prisoner to Char-
lotte this morning.
First Cargo of Cotton.

bales, 4,740,983 pounds, valued at $248,-

The infamous assault on the white
women of this State which appeared
on the 18th of August in the Daily
Reeord, the negro paper published in
this city, has aroused a storm of in
dignation from one end of the State
to the other. We have received so
many requests for copies of the Stab
containing this article that we here
with reproduce it in full, the accu
racy of which is certified to by Col.
John D. Taylor, Clerk of the Supe
rior'Court of New Hanover county,
and by a number of our well-known
business men. The article is headed :
Mrs. Felton's Speech.
"A Mrs. Felton, from Georgia, makes
sneech before the Agricultural So
ciety at Tybee, Ga., in which she advo
cates lynching as an extreme measure.
This woman makes a strong plea for
wamanhood, and if the alleged crimes
or rape were half so frequent as is oft
times reported, her plea would be wor
thy of consideration.
Mrs. Felton, like many other so-
called Christians, loses sight of the
basic principle of the religion of Christ
in her plea for one class of people as
against another. If a missionary
irit is essential for the uplifting of
e poor white girls, why is it? The
The morals of the poor white people
are on a par with their colored neigh
bors of like conditions, and if any one
doubts the statement let him visit
among them. The whole lump needs
to be leavened by those who profess so
much religion and showing them that
the preservation of virtue is an essen
tial for the life ot any people.
Mrs. it el ton begins well for she ad
mits that education will better protect
the girls on the farm from the as
saulter. This we admit and it should
not be confined to the white any more
than to the colored girls. The papers
are filled often with reports of rapes
of white women, and the subsequent
lynching of the alleged rapists. The
editors pour forth "vol ley s of aspersions
X'nst all negroes because of the few
i may be guilty. If the papers and
peakers of the other race would con
emn the commission of crime because
it is crime and not try to make it ap
pear that the negroes were the only
criminals, they would find their
strongest allies in the intelligent ne
groes themselves, and together the
whites and blacks would root the evil
out ef both races.
"We suggest that the whites
guard their women more closely,
as Mrs. Felton says, thus giv
ing no opportunity for the
human fiend, be he white or black.
You leave your goods out of doors and then
complain because they are taken away.
Poor white men are careless m the
matter of protecting their women,
especially on farms. They are care
less of their conduct toward them
aad our experience among poor white
people in the country teaches as that the
women of that race are not any more par
ticular in the matter of clandestine meet
ings with colored men, than are the
watte men with colored women. Meet
ings of this kind go on for some time
until the woman's infatuation or the man's
boldness , bring attention to them and the
man is lynched for rape. Every negro
lynched is called a 'big, burly, Hack
brute,' when in fact many of those who
have thus been dealt with had white men
for their fathers, and were not only not
black' and 'burly' bat were sufficiently
attractive for white girls of culture and
refinement to fall in love with them as
is well known to all."
"Mrs. Felton must begin at the
fountain head if she wishes to purify
the stream.
"Teach your men purity. Let virtue
be something more than an excuse for
them to intimidate and torture a help
less people. Tell your men that it is
no worse for a black man to be inti
mate with a white woman, than for a
white man to be intimate with a
colored woman.
You set yourselves down as a lot of
carping hypocrites; in fact you cry
aloud for the virtue of your women
while you seek to destroy the morality
of ours. Don't think ever that your
women will remain pure while you
are debauching ours. You sow the
seed tne harvest will come in due
time,"
THE
AFFIDAVIT OF THE CLERK.
An effort has been made by some
of the politicians to fool the people
by representing that this slander
was a Democratic trick or was gar
bled, but : the following affidavit
from the Clerk of the Superior
Court settles the question as to its
accuracy:
' North Carolina,

L John D. Taylor, Clerk of the Su

do hereby certify that the foregoing is
an accurate and true copy of an edi

"I further certify that John N.

As the Republican politicians in
this county could not call this as
sault a Democratic trick, or say it
was garbled, theyMaried to break
the force of it by repudiating the
paper as a party organ and charac
terizing the editor as a "simpleton"
who represents no one but himself.
The following affidavit from a num
of business men of Wilmington testi
fies to the accuracy of the published
slander, tells who Manly and his as
sociates on the Record axe and shows
that Manly was not . regarded as a
simpleton, or a nobody before he
startled the bosses by the publica

Populists Coming Back.
j The avalanche of the Populists into
the Democratic ranks continues. The
old story of fifteen or twenty Populists
forsaking' the evil of their ways and
returning to the only party which
insures pure, white, economical gov
ernment, is of almost daily occurrence.
Messrs. M. E. and Jos. Rouse, of
Kenansville township, Duplin county,
in conversation with a gentleman
gave the news that fifteen Populists
in that one township have announced
their intention of coming back to the'
Demorca tic party.
This is an evidence of a widespread
revolution of feeling among Populists,
and one of the most hopeful signs of
Democratic victory.
The two gentlemen referred to are
perfectly reliable and the news they
bring is certainly encouraging.

Special Star Telegram. J
Kenly, N. C, Sept. 21. This was a
red-letter day for the Democrats in
this (Johnston) county. The citizens
of Kenly and vicinity gave a big bar
becue and picnic, and the political is
sues of the day were discussed by
Hon. E. W. Pou, candidate for solici
tor in this district, and Judge H. G.
Connor, of Wilson county.
By early morning people from
Nash, Wilson, Wayne and Johnston
began coming in, until we had an
audience composed of about fifteen
hundred-white men and five hundred
ladies. It is useless to say that both
speeches were powerful in argument
and sweeping in effect Mr. Pou paid
his respects to the present administra
tion and made good his assertions that
"It is impossible to fuse truth and
falsehood." Judge Connor appealed
to the patriotism of his hearers with
telling effect.
There were several Populists and
Republicans present who will long re
member this day and who. will date
their return to the white man's party
from to-day.

that at; one critical time this medicine
was the indirect saviour of our army,
for if the packers had been unable to
work there would have been no way ,
of getting supplies to the front. There
were no roads that a wagon train
could use. My comrade and myself
had the good fortune to lay m a sup
ply of tnis meaicine ior our pacK-mun
before we loft Tampa, and I know in
four cases it absolutely saved life."

By Telegraph to the Morninc Star.
i New York, September 21. -Speculation
in cotton to-day was quite tame,
j It was purely a local market with a
; considerable portion of the business
j done; the evening-up of old ventures.
Jjiverpooi cables about met expec-
tations. Weather reports were about
a stanu-oir. Almost perfect conditions
in the eastern and western portions of
the belt were about offset by the fact
that the severe wind and rain storm
had swept over an extensive area in
the central portion of the belt. At
Vicksburg and Mobile 3 inches fell
within 24 hours time and private dis
patches claimed considerable damage
had been done to the crop as a result.
Port and interior receipts . were only
moderate and considerably under the
movement of even date last year.
Shorts covered in a small way on fore
casts for rains to-night and to-morrow
in the Atlantic States, where sunshine
and warm weather are needed. At the
close the market was quiet and steady
at a net loss of 14 points.
New York, September 21. Cotton

AS SEEN BY A CR0ATAN.
The Croatan's Political Interest Identical
With That of the Democrats.
Lrumberton Robesoriian.
Mr. Editor The negro says that if
the Populist party goes up he is going
up, and 11 tne party goes uown ne win
go down. The Croatans see that if the
Democratic party goes up they will go
up, and if it goes down they will go
down. But I don't think we will go
down this time. The white man is
working for the best interest of the
Croatans and the Croatans are work
ing for the white man.
