How "Lynch Law" Origi
natcd.
Colonel Charles Lynch was an
officer in the army of the Ameri
can Revolution. His residence
was on Siaunton river, in Camp
bell county, Va.. a branch of the
oid KoanoKe. During the Revo
lutionary War the country oi
he James riverand on the Staun
ion about the Blue Ridge and
mountain passes was harassed
by lawless bands of tories and
desperadoes, and their depreda
tions at one time extended into
the regions round about Lynch
burg. "Colonel Lynch, a first cousin
of John Lynch, the foundarof
Lynchburg, Va., and a nephew
of Charles Ly nch, - who repre
sented tlie counties of Campbell
and Bedford in the House of Bur
gesses, was a resoiute, determin
ed man of elevated, patriotic
principles and a staunch Whig.
a were ail the Lynch family.
He organized and took the lead of
a strong body of determined pa
triots. men of moral character
and commanding influence and
scoured the ccuntry night and
day. They took many of the des
peradoes, gave them a summary
trial, at which Colonel Lynch sal
as judge, empaneled a jury, and
on conviction, executed the pun
ishment in a prompt manner.
The viliians were permitted to
defend themselves and to show
mitigating circumstance, and
when punished to clear out.
"Colonel Lynch raised a regi
ment of riflemen after he had of
ficiated as judge in relieving the
country of tories, thieves and
murderers. He waspresent ai
the battle of Guilford Courthouse
w he r j he behaved with great gal
lantry. He oied soon after the
war.
"Charles Lynch, afterwards
Governor of Mississippi, was his
son, as was also 'Staunton John,
and Anslem Lynch.''
The- above extracts are taken
from "Sketches and Recollec
tions of Lynchburg, Va., by the
Oldest Inhabitants," a book writ
ten by Mrs. Clifford Cabell, in
1857 and published in 1858 by C
II Wynne, of Richmond, Va.
The author was one of Virginia's
loviiest daughters, who was so
modest that she did not write her
name on the title page. But we
all knew her, and she still lives
in the hearts of a host of her kith
aud kin.
Judge Lynch's mode of dispos
ing of thieves, murderers and
house-burners was far better
thau the modern lynching, so
called. There are sometimes
palliating circumstances connect
ed with lynching, but it is to be
deprecated. A staunch, moral
support of the statute laws will
make us, as good citizens, beware
of that horrible necessity whici
knows no daw

The Modest Man.
Publicity is the life-blood of
prosperous trade. "Out of sight
out of mind" is peculiarly true in
mercantile affairs. With whale v
er retiring and delicate feeling a
man, may be eudowed by nature,
when he embarks iu business he
enters a field where silence and
unobtrusiveness are the guide
posts to obliviou. Day after day
the modest man is impressed
with the conviction that he must
obtrude himself upon the public
eye aud plow deep furrows in the
public mind if he is to get to him
seif great gain. He must stop
the public in its rush along the
pavement by startling and se
iuct've window shows; and h
must assail the public in its hom.
by the iusiduous newspaper ad
vorli-ement. To the modest mat
and the truthful man this horn

HOW ROAD LAW-
Maybe Adopted in Any Town
ship in orthainpto t and Iter
tie What Haywood .is
Doing
The last Legislature eaa- ted v
general road law which isfarii
ad vance of any general road lav.
heretofore do the statue books ol
North Carolina. This law doe.
not apply t Hertford County, and
can only be adopted in No r tha mp
ton and Bertie on petition of 300
freeholders in each county, or in
any township on petition of fifty
freeholders. The law is similar
to the one enacted for Rich
Square township wnich was stol
en, it provides tnat the town
ship supervisor shall give bond
for his faithful performance of
duty.
Section 1 provides for a tax
evy for road purposes by the
County Commissionersof notless
than 5 nor more than 25 cents on
the 8100 wTorth of property, not-
less than 15 nor more thau 75
cents on the poll, the fund aris
ing from this tax to be used as far
as possible for permanent im
provements.
Sections 2 and 3 provide for
the appointment of either a super
intendentof roads, or townshio
road supervisors, or both, to
take charge of the road work un
der the County Commissioners.
Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 provide
for the repairs or patching of pub
lie roads by able bodied male cit
izens between the ages of 2i and
45 years, four days labor or the
payment of $2 for each man.
Section 18 empowers the Board
of Commissioners to gradually
reduce the number of days of la
bor required for" road duty, one
day for each year, until the old
labor system is abolished entire
ly, the road tax being increased
proportionally; while Section 19
empowers the Commissioners to
reduce the payment in lieu of this
labor from $2 to $1 per annum
when a sufficiently high tax is
levied. -
Sections 8 and 9 provide that
any connty shall work on its pub-
lie roads ail its prisoners whoso
sentence does not exceed 10
years; and tnat it may also use
similar prisoners from other
counties in the same or adjoining
judicial districts; also that coun
ties with but few convicts may
arrange for an exchange with
neighboring counties.
Haywood has a special act for
improving its roads and has re
cently bought five thousand dol
lars worth of road machinery.
Mr. Geo. E. Bbggs of that county
in a recent letter to the Char
lotte Observer tells how the
County wdl be benefitted i y the
new departure. 1L s:iybr
Our county is just in. receipt of
about 5.000 worth of road mak ing
machinery. Little did lev
er expect to see th's happy day
for our county of Haywood
That she should make such at;
advance movement isuot only t.
credit to her but a good indica
tion ci the leaven that is at work
in our State iu regard to good
roads a matter that not onl
concern the economical but the
social and religious life of our
people.
For several weeks during las',
winter the roads of this county
ware, virtually impassable. Traf
fie social intercourse ind atler.
d ince on religious services were
suspended. During many tnon
weeks they could be carried o;
only under many discomforts
and at considerable loss from in
jury to stock and vehicles.
Many are opposed to any tax
for road improvement and vet
they are paying a mud tax that
exceeds all their national, Stat
and county taxes combined, un
just and heavy as some of them
are. I would esteem it a privi
lege to be allowed to pay severul
hundred per cent of additional
county tax for several years on
condition that good roads We to
made throughout the county
One winter, a few years ago 1

cents per bushel to haul them.
besides causing permanent inju
ry to a valuable animal, entailing

it- The roads being smooti
and firm in the fall, I hauled
them at a cost of 2c. per bushel,
although there were some steep
grades. Although I paid 25 for
rent of cellar, the good road s in
the f.ill saved me fully 100. or.
tne crop of one year. The rent
paid for the cellar would have
paid i very heavy tax for road
improvement.

The law on our statute book:
says:
'If any person shall wilfully
overdrive, overload, wound, in
jure, torture, torment, deprive ol
necessary sustenance, or cruelly
beat, or needlessly mutilate, 01
kill, or cause or procure to be
overdriven, overloaded, woundeo
injured, tortured, tormented, 01
deprived of necessary sustenance
or to be cruelly beaten, needless
ly mutilated or killed as aforesaid
any useful beast, fowl or animal.
every such offender shall foi
every offeuso be guilty of a mis
demeanor."
The North Carolina Baptis:
wisely comments bs follows:
This was amended by the Leg
islature of 1891 making the of
fense punishable by a fine of 50
or thirty days imprisonmeut oi

diction of magistrates This i
well, for the offense, whei

notice of the fact that the amend

their jurisdiction. In some States

There are in every town almos"

eternal law of right which every
