SCHOOL 1STOTICE.
Edenton N. C, Jvdy 2S, 1SS7.
To the Public: We are glad to an
nounce that Mr. F. P. Hall, a graduate
At 4:30 Thursday our Mayor opened
Court to try one of the most exciting
and interesting cases heard for many
years, to wit: State vs J. C. Sharp
charged with cruelly beatiDg Rachel
Griffin, a young white girl of Rixteen
who, at the time, was living in the house
of Sharp's Grand mother in Edenton.
The evidence abundantly sustaiued the
charge and the Court imposed a tine of
.oO. 00 and costs, saying, at the same
time, that nothing short of imprison-
;vnr wonia re ni'pjn;! tv imposed otic ;
for coasidt rations which should be had 'soared to make - the school
for the eufeeoied conuuion ot lus Grand
parent, whose h'irt beir.i:" de'xas"d,
might not be able to f-r.;..i th shock
winch tiie news of such a judgement
would bring her.
The court room was tilled with spec
tators, interested in the case and eager
to see full justice meetedunto the man
charged. Such was the intensity of the
feeling that the crowd could not refrain
from applauding, now and then, as
council for the prosecution would warm
up to the importance of the case in dis
cussing certain evidence bearing there
upon. Had the case been tried in other
and Pss civilized communities, among
people who had less respect for law, .we
honestly believe that cries for lynching
would have been irrepressible. We say
this not to prejudice any one 'against,
the unfortunate man charged, but sim
ply to show the intensity of the feeling
everywhere manifested and to show
that at least a little of that mar hood of
o tr fathers is left which wouh- imr'i a
blow, if need be, in defense of v umanly
virtue and character.
