WAR ON PAPER.
A Big "Fake" Story of War in Mitch
eU County, N. C. J .
The Daily Newspapers Were Short ot
Newe, and Published This.1
Joassox Citt. Tesn. In the night a
masked mob of five hundred men; entered
the jail at Bakersville, N. C, and took
Calvin Snipes, who had murdered Isaa
Oaborne, a prominent citizen of Mitchell
county, to a dedee forest about half a
mile away and lynched him. Seven of
the sheriff's posse were killed in their ef
forts to defend the prisoner. About
twenty-five of the mob were killed, and
among the dead and wounded were
some of the most prominent men in the
county.
Johsson City,Tenn. The facts which
led up to the tcnible lynching affray in
Bakersville, North Carolina, were as fol
lows: Airon Wiseman and Calvin Snipes
were partneiWn cn illicit distillery in
Mitchell county, North Carolina, and
had told William Osborne and Isaac Os
borne, two brothers, where the distillery
was situated. William Osborne reported
the distillery to th officers at Bakers
ville. 'N. C., and helped them to destroy
it. Wiseman and Snipes suspected Istac
Osborne as the reporter.
On the night of August 29th, 1892,
Snipe3 and Wiseman, armed with Win
chester rifles, went to the house of Isaac
Osborne, and called him up. Osborne
came to the door and the culprits opened
lire, almost riddling him with bullets
Wiseman and Snipes were arrested, but
sufficient evidence could not' be obtained
against "Wisemen and he was released.
Snipes was bound over to the Superior
Court on purely circumstantial evidence.
He was placed in jailr and after being
confined about two weeks, confessed to
the killing, in the manner above related.
The 6tory of the lynching and the fa
tal conflict with the . sheriff 's posse is con
firmed. '
, Th? names of those of the sheriff's
posse killed are as follows: J. N. Wil
liams, D. T. Ritchie, R. N. Jones, P. B.
Hms, R. E. Johnson, Aaron Rsed, J. N.
B-ckner, J. W. Laws, N. R.' Pan n ell, G.
N. Hollifield, Tomllall. The names of
those of the mob killed are : John Worth,
William Osborne, T. G. Bailiff, Wilt
Perry, John Osborne, Phil Crowder, Jim
Nance, Will Butler, Hagey Byrd, Owen
Thomas, Jack Phillips, and several oth
ers whose names are not known at pres
ent. "
"A special from Bakersville, N. C, says
that the tery of a horrible .killing of
several people, as reported in the papers
is a "fake" of the first-water. No. such
'occurrence has taken place, and the peo
pie of that locality are at a loss to un
derstand why the story was told.
A MURDERER PARDONED.
Executive Clemency Extended for
Entirely Good Reasons.
Raleigh, N. C. Governor ,Holt to
day gave to the press the fact that he had
pardoned Willis H. Bsogdin, of Wayne
couuty, a brother of ex-Governor Curtis
H.-Brogden. It has been a remarkable
case, fkogden was last September con
victed of killing F. H. Sasser, in July
last, aud sentenced to six yoar' imipris
onment. The Governor gives the fol
lowing reasons for granting the pardon:
"Ib this case there was no malice or
premeditation, but it was one of, those
unfortunate acts which might be com
mitted by any good citizen Brogden
got into a fight with; Sasser. The latter
used a kDifefieely. I Brogeion picked up
a small stick with which to defend him
self and unfortunately struck a blow
which resetted in death 20 dajs after.
Sasser asked that Brogd n be not puny
ishec as he was somewhat to blame. The
jury redbmmended mercy and now ask
for pardon. Thia requ stis Joined in by
nearly all of the peoj le of Wayne, ou .
account of Broden's high character,
which he has not lost on account of the
unfortuate occurrence. For these rea
sons and considering h's long confine
ment in jail and his dc p humi iation, ,
pardon is granted."
Governor Hot says that Brogden, upon
sentence, went to the penite diary by him
self and not under the charge of any -of
ficer. He 6taited to the railroad sUtion
in his own buggy. It bioke down and,
he hired a mule and rode so as to catch
the train for Rale'gh
.Possibly, a Brother, for Baby Ruth.
Brooklyn, N. Y. Th? Standard
Union says: "In the intimate eirtdes of
Pjesideni elect Cleveland's friends, there
is much iejoicing over the fact that -when
the Wnite House opens to receive ihe
choice of the Democratic party, the elark
speli that has hovered over it will be
in a f Air way to be lifted. One being
passes out' of ihe world; ano'her enters
existence just as the rnorniig succeeds
the night.
"Should the new-comer prove to be a
boy, the cup of earthly happiness will be
full for Grover Cleveland."

HOW A PALATABLE ITALIAN PRO
DUCT IS MANUFACrrjBED.
The Ingredients Are Simple Flour
and Waler-rheDoaztiUPressed
Tnrougn lioles in Strings.
JEW people who eat that tooth
some article macaroni know
how or where it is manufac
tured. "They, however, do
know that when it is properly prepared
it forms one of the most palatablel and
healthful dishes that is set upon tho
table. ' Many imagine that macaroni, '
vermicelli, spaghetti and noodlea aro .
chiefly made in Italy and imported into
this country. To a certain extent this
is true, but of late yeare the industry
has so grown on this eHe of the ocean that
now but one-tenth of the entire amount
consumed in the United States is im
ported, says the Philadelphia Timts.
Some years ago it was distinctively an
Italian dish. The natives of that Coun
try were the first to make it, and they
made a National disa of it. Other
countries took up the article, until mow
it is known the world over. . . While at
first Italy had the monopoly ot its man
ufacture and exported iarj;e quantities
of it, now it is made in differeut coun
tries of Europe and also in'' the United
States. , In this country the work is
done
nearly entirely by Italians, who
have immigrated fr6m the mother soil,
or by their American descendants.
In New York?. City there are several
lareje factories which produce an -average
of 35,000 pounds a day, whilo in thil
city, with a smaller number of factories, .
between 7000 and 8000 pounds are mad
daily.. Probably the largest factory iu thii
city is at Eihtlvand' Christian streets.
In this one alone 3500 pounds aro manu
factured each day; Much of this is con.
sumed in this, city, but quantities
shipped to different places in the United
States and to Canada and Cuba, t
representative of this'paper visited
the f actory at Eighth and Christiatt, and
made a tour of inspection through its
three floors and watched the different
steps which converts the flour into the
hard and brittle) substanco that after
ward becomes so palatable in the hands
of the chef or adept housewife. '
The flour and water is first put 1 info
what is called a dough-mixing machine.
It is cylindrical in form, and . within if
are knives, or plates, which pre worked
by steam power. -The dough is kept in
this? machine ' until ' it is thoroughly
mixed. .Then it is thrown into a circu
lar trough about six feet in diameter.'
Through this trough rolls a large . stone
worghinsj 3300 pounds. Over audj oyer
the dough this heavy weight? passes,
rolling it qut flat. " Tins process, jskepi
up for half an hour. v
'- The next step is tho placing of thii
well-rolled material in a powerful circu
lar press worked by steam. Tho bottour
of this machine is a copper plf to " oi'
mould. It is about an incti thick and
perforated with holes, in tue center ol
which'is a pin. The douga is forced "
through those holes, the littlo pin in. the
center of each making the hollo ar ceutei.
in the macaroni. It comes out in lonq
strings, soft and so pliaolc that it could
be tied in a knot.
It is then taken upstairs where a man
lays it out in straight lengths on. wire
trays covered with paper The whole it
covered with heavy paper and the trays
are put up in racks to tlry. It lie? in
this position for eight dajs before it
hardens and dries comoietely. It is
kept as much from the air as possible, as
the dampness prevents it from dryipg
properly. On nice, clear days the win
dows are allowed to remain open, but on
windy days they are kept closed and the
steam is turned on running the tempera
ture up between seventy and' ninety de
grees. Tms heat doc's not affect tho
macaroni, but keeps the air dry. " j .
Vermicelli, spaghetti and noodles aro .
all made the same way, except that the
holes in the moulds through wbicu they
are forced are smaller. The - vermicelli
is made both white and of a yellowish
tint. v The coloring is done "Vlth saf
fron. When ' it is takeu . upstair to ;
dry it is laid ou in curled-up -shapes
'that give it a. fancy Tappearance.
There is yet anotherroduct that the
factory make3 that is fancy pastes. These,
are used for soup tho same as noodles,
'but present a much nfcer appearance.
For the pastes the same mixing and roll
