Democratic Hosts Begin to Move
Thither.
Tomorrow and Wednesday morn
ing the rush to tbe Democratic State,
Congressional and Judicial Conven
tfona at Greensboro, will be on.
Arrangements have been made for
extra coaches on train No. 7, which
passes here tomorrow afternoon at
4:43 o'clock, and also for train No.
11, which leaves Durham at 2:30 a.
m. A cumber of delegates will
wait and go up on train No. 35,
due here at 9:50 a. m., on Wednes
day moroiog.
The delegates from Durham,
Granville, Person and other coun
ties, or at least many of them, will
board the cars at this point.
The State Convention bids fair to
be one of the most notable gather
ings in the history of North Caroli
na. It is the first since the adop
tion of the Constitutional Amend
ment, and the first since the Demo
cratic party regained control of tbe
legislative and executive depart
ments of the State government.
Some of the delegates passed
throog1oday en route to Greensboro.

A trunk, that was a veritable

"Jesus saves sinners," "God is
love," "Jesus saves' "Prepare to

ungodly," "Look unto me and be ye
saved," "Ye must be born again,"
Look and live," "the wicked shall

CURIOSITIES OF DURHAM
COUNTY SOIL.
White Blackberries.' a Green Rose
an J Tomatoes of a Huge
Size.
When it comes to curious agricul
turnl freaks, Durham is hard to
beat.
Button Davis, who lives beyond
the city cemetery, has gathered sev
eral quarts of perfectly white black
berries this summer. A lady.from
Raleigh who was here recently, suc
ceeded in getting some of the ber
ries and carried them home with her
as a curioHity.
Mrs. George E Lougee, Sr., has
a most rare curiosity in the way of
a rose with perfectly green petals.
There is absolutely uo scent about
the rose whatever.
Capt. W. K. Styron gathered
about a peck of tomatoes this morn
ing fiom his garden on East Main
street. Io tbe lot were three toma
toes that measured 12 and 10
incites in circumference, respec
tively. ALIEGED LYNCHER JAILED.
Tom Spainell, White Man 35 Years of
Age, Taken on a Bench Warrant
Is.ued by Judge Shaw.
Sausbuky, July 13. The first
arrest on tbe charge of participating
in the lynching pf the negro boys,
Harrison and James tiulespie, the
murderers of Miss Cornelia Benson,
took place at 10 o'clock last night
under a bench warrant issued by
Judge Shaw for Tom Sparnell,, a
bar tender of this city. Sparnell is
a married man and is 35 years of
age. When arrested he offered to
give bond, but Sheriff Julian neces
sarily refused to permit him to do
so prior to bis preliminary examina
tion and be was accordingly com
mitted to jail. The examination
will be held by Judge Shaw at 9 o'
clock in the morning, with Solicitor
Hammer also present. Fifteen sub
poenas have been issued for witness
es, including two Bent to Gold Hill,
which was the home of the prisoner
before bis coming here several years
ago. Sparnell claims that he will
be able to prove an unassailable ali
bi. Solicitor Hammer, however, in
the course of the investigation of
the lynching which he has conduct
ed, as required by the act of 1893
for the punishment of lynchers, has
already examined the witnesses who
have been summoned and hence it
may be assumed that he is in pos
session of evidenoe of a direct and
positive character. Neither be nor
Judge Shaw has yet arrived here,
both being expected on the early
morning trains. Special to Char-
otte Observer.
On a Few Days' Trip.
Dr. N. M Johnson and children,
Misses Mary and Kate and Master
Eric, left this morning on the 7 o'
clock Norfolk and Western train for
trip to the north. Dr. Johnson
will return the ' last of the week,
while the others will doubtless re
main a few days longer.
North Carolina's Progress.
Danville, Va., Bee: North Caro
lina produces $17,000,000 worth of
corn, only $15,000,000 worth of
cotton and about $7,000,000 worth
of tobacco annually, all of which
goes to prove that tbe Old North
state is one of the most progressive
in the Union.
James A. Perdue, will leave this
week, probably tomorrow afternoon,
for Greensboro to spend a few days
on business.
