His Memory Defective Could Recall Little Beyond the Fact That He Was Run Out of Town Other Raleigh News Supreme Court. Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, N. G, April 20. In tak ing evidence in the Dockery-Bellamy contest the entire day was consumed by J. R. Meltotf, ex Chief of Police of Wilmington. - Aftec a look at Mellon, the spectator gets an inkling of what sort of law and order Wilmington must have had when he was preserv ing them; after a day df Melton's testi mony, the spectator thoroughly nn- derstands what sort of law and. order any city would have that had Melton at the head of the police force. He looks like a moonshiner of long ap prenticesLip, who had taken a post graduate course at a small grocery store. His pale, fishy, blue eyes; his protruding under-lip, that looks like the crescent of a half cooked pancake; his "pidgin" English, mumbled in de scending pitch of unintelligibility, un til attorney and stenographer were wild ail these make one day of Mel ton enough for most constitutions; and the only wonder is how Wilming ton stood him for so long and finally let him get away. And no living man ever before suffered with such a failure of memory. . m ' On cross examination he became a memoric bankrupt and could not re call most common and frequent oc? currences of his official life at Wil mington; even such startling things as fires, fights and fiots had left no trace by which they could be recog nized when called to his attention. He had never heard of a negro making threats against a white man they were all orderly, and law abiding ; he had never seen one with a gun only Democrats knew what guns were; there was no fear for life and limb, and property in Wilmington, at least Melton remem bered nothing about it. All had gone well until he was run out of town. On that point Melton's memory was of the very best. When he approached bis own tale of woe, he grew voluble, knew more about that than ever oc curred, or other men ever imagined. But so soon as his official record and matters pertaining thereto became the topic,! his under lip dropped loosely down, and Melton forgot. He was eloquent only of the speeding which the parting guest had received, Oae of the most unique of his many for gettings was in regard to the burning of the smallpox pest-house during his administration. At first the witness could recall nothing of it, had never heard of it.j Then, finally, when the name of the house had been given, he suddenly launched into a minute re lation of the whole affair, telling how he had gone out to the house himself and" tried to prevent the burning. Melton had evidently behaved with the greatest judgment and intrepidity and the house had been burned in spite of him. - His evidence, so far as establishing fraud and intimidation was concerned, amounted to little, and that despite the fact that the attorney for the contes tant took him resolutely by the nose early in the game, and led him a will ing if ungainly follower. When taken with a proper proportion of salt, the testimony comes to a Dockerv deficit. Mr;' Robt. Burns, of Carthage, appeared and assisted as counsel for contestant.

The evi dence of Melton in the Dockery-Bel- lamy contest was completed this morning, and W. J. Harris was nut on the stand. His testimony was nf a general character, devoid of names and particulars. Here is a sample: "You state in your answer to mir last two questions that Democrat made efforts to intimidate . and did in timidate. Now state any acts on the part of Democrats or the 1aWb nf Democratic party, calculated to intim idate, and which did intimidate, Re publican voters?" Answer "They just .simply said they are going to carry this election, let it cost what it may, and everybody lost their heads in the "democratic party, it looked to me like; And talk ing ubout being intimidated, I ain't very big, but long.about election time the way they would guy me I didn't feel bigger than my thumb not only me but everybody connected with the Republican party. I have heard them make different .remarks about the chief of police, Mr. Bryan, superin tendent of the streets, and the mayor,7 and in fact any one that was any ways inclined to be a Republican," Bellamy and Busbee had for some time been openly amused, but Dock ery's counsel showed annoyance. He tersely told the witness to quit gener alizing and mention some specific acts of intimidation on the part of the Democratic partyor leaders of the party. "Well," inevitably commenced the witness, "there was threats made about different ones if they even reg istered that they, would lose their job, and you could see guns carried around.

I III o f Treatment Nearly everybody yog meet will re gard it as a land of insult to be asked if they have weak lungs. All seem to have a solid faith in the soundness pf their own breathing machine. In cases of trouble they will admit there is a "heavy cold," "a touch of bronchitis," or even "a spell of asthma," but as to weak or unsound lungs, never, NEVER. Even the poor coimmptive, who scarce ly - speaks without coughing, whose cheeks are wasted, hollow and bear, the hectic flush of doom, will assure .you with glistening eyes that his cold is on the mend and he will be all right when the weather changes. It is simply terrible to think how far we may be guilty by our indifference to the lung troubles of those near and dear to us. It is also a sad -thought that we may hug a delusion as to our own health that we only get rid of when life itself must pay the forfeit. Nobody can afford to think lightly of lung troubles. Nobody can afford to be mistaken about their possible dan gers. Nobody can afford to neglect them, or "let them wear out," or "get better in the spring," or any other tom foolery that leads only to wreck and ruin. Lung troubles don't move back ward. Weak lungs don't grow strong by themselves you must heal them and strengthen them, and rid them of the very earliest germs of disease, or you are simply committing a form of suicide.'

EXCITEMENT HAS DIED OUT. Advices Prom Samoa Received in Berlin. Marqnardt, a Prominent German Citizen, Arrested. By 1 he Bri tish Commander. By Cable to the Morning Star. Berlin, April 22. The semi official North German Gazette to day denies the report sent out in a dispatch to a news agency in London yesterday, say ing the German protected cruiser Gefion had been ordered to proceed to Apia, Samoa, af ler embarking an ex tra supply of ammunition aT Kiau Chou, China, and that another cruiser was to follow her. . Berlin, April 22. The Lokal An- zetger to-day -publishes two letters from Samoa, dated March 23d. One of them is from its special correspondent at Apia, Jlerr von Wolttersdorir, and the other from Herr Marquardt, a prominent German resident of Apia, who, under Tamasese, was military in structor, and later, under Mataafa and me provisional govenuneni, was jus tice of the peace until he., resigned on the departure of Dr. ' Ralfel, the Ger man president of the municipal gov ernment of Apia. 1 The German Arrested. From Herr Marquardt's letter it ap pears that it was he, and not, Herr Hufnagel, who was arrested by Cap tain Sturdee, commander of the Brit ish warship Porpoise, for hearing arms against the British sailors. He says he was taken on board the Porpoise, where, he claims, he was grossly in suited by Captain Sturdee, and that after fourteen hours captivity, during which no proof against him was ad vanced, he was transferred to the Ger man warship Falke, but with the con ditioa that he was not to leave her. Herr Marquardt asserts that his prop erty was stolen and destroyed by Ma- iietoa lanus hosts, and that much other German property was likewise destroyed. The writer then asks who will , pay tht damages? Herr von WoltrerEdorir ass rts that the British consul. Mr. Maxes, and Captain Sturdee, are both guilty of the grossest conduct in ex cecding their treaty powers. He claims they treated the Germans like captives and continued an almost in cessant shelling, of German houses under various pretexts. He adds that the most intense indignation prevailed among the Samoan Germans against the British excesses. Otherwise, Herr von Wolffersdortf 's reports agree with the German othcial reports. Excitement Dying Out. The excitement over the Samoan situation has almost died out and the general expectation is that all the points at variance will now be ami cably and fairly adjusted by the special commission, some of the leading pa pers, in their desire for fairness,' even print communications from members of the British mission at Samoa, con troverting some of the statements of Ur.

Negroes in Saluda, South Carolina, Banded Together to Murder Whites and Burn Their Homes. By Telegrapn to the Morning Star. Charleston, S. 5 C, April 22 An outcome of the Greenwood county negro lynching is reported from the adjoining county, Salnda. The ne groes from i Richardsonville where they are verv numerous have de termined to prevent negro lynching and white-capping, and the plan adopted is to murder a white man or burn the home of a white man for every negro that is , lynched or whipped. They are said to have banded themselves together for this purpose, led on by one Peterson, a negro preacher, who hails from Greenwood and who inflames the pas sions of his flock by constant repeti tions of the Phoenix slaughter of ne groes and "other "outrages inflicted upon our race." The story comes from alleged good authority though the name of the in formant is not given. It will be thor oughly investigated by the people of Saluda Court House.

Bv Telegraph to the Morning Star . Columbia, S. C, April 22. -A special to the State, from Greenville, says: Not far from this city the wife of Silas Williams, an industrious white farmer, living on the White Horse road, was brutally assaulted! between 5 and 6 o'clock this afternoon by a negro, dressed in uniform, j who sud denly appeared in the house where Mrs. Williams was engaged in iron ing. The negro seized her and in committing the assault he choked her severely and bruised her right arm. The negro vanished at once and was afterwards seen on the rpad to Pied mont before the alarm was given in the neighborhood. Williams had started to town, and was only a short distance from home when the assault on his wife was made. In a few minutes men were j mounted and it was not long until the road to Williams' home was thromged with riders, the number from the city alone being estimated at two hundred, while the neighbors for miles around joined in the search. At 10 o'clock the rumor came that the negro had jbeen sur rounded several miles belowj the resi dence of Williams.
