Lumberton, N. C, Nov. 4. (Special to the New9 & Observ er,) Reuben Ross, colored, was arraigned for rape on the person of Mrs Bettie Ingram to-day. This was a case that stirred the blood of the people, and Judge Battle and the court had to exercise the greatest pre caution to prevent an outbreak, even during the session of the court. The lady proved a most excellent character. Rev. J. A. Campbell and his father and a number of other citizens from Harnett county, where Mrs. Ingram was brought up, were here to testify as to her. good character. She is a physical and perhaps mental wreck in consequence of the brutal treat ment she received from the ne gro. She fainted on the wit ness stand, and the feeling among the men became so in tense that it needed but a word to precipitate a storm of wrath in which the negro's life would have paid for his crime then and there no doubt. But the confidence the people had in Judge Battle and Sheriff Mc Leod that justice would be speedily done, and that convic, tion and a legal hanging would soon take place, kept the people from committing any violent act. The speech of Hon. D. H. Mclean, of Harriett, for the prosecution was one of the fin est efforts ever heard in Robe son county. The trial ended in the con viction of Ross, who was sen tenced by Judge Battle to be hanged on December 7th. Though the feeling against him was so intense, yet Ross had a fair trial and will be duly executed, the people al lowing the law to take its course. Thanksgiving to Roosevelt. Governor Roosevelt's Thanks giving proclamation is brief and pointed. It calls upon the peo ple to give thanks for the bless ing of having Roosevelt and Mc Kinley to rule over them, and exhorts them to conduct them selves in such a manner as to merit a continuance of that privilege. Statistically the proc lamation assays as follows : Personages. Time Mentioned. If ....... ' 1 Theodore Roosevelt, .. . 2 Governor of New York, 1 God, x...... 0 A Thanksgiving proclamation with no reference whatever to a Supreme Being is something of a curiosity. Even when all re ligion was banned in France during the Revolution Robe spierre had a feast of the "Etre Supreme," as Sir Henry Irving lias reminded us. But doubt less Governor Roosevelt thinks that there is no occasion in this State for any being higher than himself, except, of bourse Piatt. New York Journal. Jeffries is still the champion. He whipped Sharkey in a twan-ty-five round contest at the Co ney Island Sporting Club last Friday night. Sharkey is re ported as haviug one ear almost torn off and several ribs broken. It is strange that a man will en ter such sporting games to be beaten up like a brute, and stran ger still why our government jvon t put a stop to it. A Good Man Wrongfully Ac cused. , Barclaysville, N. C, ! Oct. 30th, 1899. 1 To the Editor of The Union : j In noticing your article in; the issue of your paper week ; before last and the paragraph copied from the News and Ob server about selling bad or spoiled meat, I think is subject to do a good man injustice. I allude to Esq. Wm. A. Green, my door neighbor and one whom I have known from his cradle up. I am sure his neighbors with me'will generally say he is as good and honest hard work ing christian farmer as' is in our neighborhood and he would not attempt to sell meat that he thought was the least tainted or damaged. - Billy Green, as we call him, killed ten nice shoats weighing from forty-five to fifty-five pounds on Monday the lGth inst., and took them to Raleigh that night hanging them up at the liverv stable. The next morning her sold his brother, Q. L. Green, one of the shoats and carried four to the market. The inspector came over and condemned them as bad or spoiled meat, while two or three of the butchers said they were not hurt as they could tell Billy took the remainder of his hogs to his brother who lives in Raleigh and cut them up and salted them good then brought them home to see whether or not these were dam aged. Several tried to buy some of the same lot but he told them- the meat had been condemned and he would not sell a pound of it at any price. After the meat had taken salt several of his neighbors got some of it and said it was nice sound pork and not a taint about it. Some of the neighbors who Were staying at his brother's home during the fair ate some of the meat and they said it was sound and al right. I could say more on this matter but 1 don't want to wor ry your patience, and besides, I am almost down with rheu matism and can hardly write at all in justice to our good and innocent neighbor, -Wm. A. Green, Esq. I hope you will give this space in your paper. Yours very truly, Jas. A: Johnson. There seems to have gotten into the News .and Observer a few weeks ago an item that is calculated to do Mr. W. A. Green, a worthy and hard working farmer of our county an injustice. We copied the item in our paper thinking it might serve as a warning to any one that might be guilty of offering spoilt meat upon the market. We are informed by Mr. Green's neighbors who used some of the same meat rejected on the Raleigh market, and say they found nothing wrong with it, so .it seems to have been a mistake on the part of the meat inspector at Raleigh. Mr. Green is an hon orable gentleman, and has a high christian character and we are only too glad to come to his rescue to defend him. It is rather a serious charge and should be corrected. We had no .motive in reproducing the paragraph in our paper save to serve warning on others who might knowingly offer meat un fit for use, which is some times the case. Ed. Here Are the Winners. Messrs. Lee & Dupree, of Key, get the set of buggy har ness for selling the largest num ber of pounds of tobacco with me during the month of Octo ber. (1432 pounds) . The watch goes, to W. J, Morgan, Esq., McKay, N. C, for the largest load and highest average -1409 pounds which brought $156.23. ' These gentlemen can get the watch and harness by calling on me. There arc a few more chances left at our buggy. Bring your tobacco and get a chance at the buggy for every pile. With thanks to my friends and customers I am Yours truly, R. B. Morgan, Proprietor Planters' Warehouse. Died Oct. 18th. Mrs. Black Grantham of New ton Grovo passed away after a lingering illness of several weeks with consumption. She was forty-one years old and a mem ber of the Christian Church of Wake Countv. She leaves a husband and six children . The bereaved familv lms t.ha - . J MT I thy of friends and relatives. v . Dunn is a new and thriving place, As can be seen by all 5 On manyjiues she's keeping pace With terras not half so email. But of her smallness I'll not boast, Le?t she should think me dizzy. For thereare larger towns along the coast That are not kept half so busy. Her merchants are a clever set Of level headed men, Frm whom the rich and poor may get The worth of what they spend. Her cotton market, too, is strong, As is often truly said By those who bring the lint along, And receive the prices paid. Her buyers are all good men, tip top ; As aie found in any town, W ith Hooks to hang the cotton up, And Barnes to pack it down. But this, of these I should not say. Lest I should need reproving. But rather write, that day by day. They keep the cotton moving. Tobacco too, falls into line And forms one more anraeuou As on all grades both coarse and fine The price gives satisfaction. Dunn has a band of music too, Of genial clever gents, And no better music will be made for you Than the Dunn Bi ass Band presents. She also has a printing press Which prints the COUNTY UNION. Through which affluence and distress Come oftimes in communion. The Union is a newsy sheet, And a splendid advertiser ; Its sentiment so clean and neat. It makes its readers wiser. Some other day I'll write again, If the Editor will excuse me, For I fear too much poetic strain, Might cause him to refuse me. More Anon.
