Durham, Aug. .13.—For the first
time inthe history of reunions of
Confederate Veterans in North Car
olina. the families and relatives of
veterans are to be elaborately en
tertained during a reunion, it be
came known today through an an
nouncement of plans for the meet
ing to be held in Durham, August

tion will be given to the relatives of

to provide free entertainment for
them, they will be shown every

ranged for their benefit
As for the veterans, the city is
endeavoring to outdo any previous
reunion plans. Maj. L P McLen-
ion. announced , today that /neither
time nor money is to be spared in
this undertaking.

HANGED BODY RIDDLED
Kinston, N. C. Aug. 14—A mob
variously estimated at from 1,500
to 2,000 armed: men, captured Jer
ome Whtfield, negro, accused of
criminal assault, at 11 o'clock today
in the woods in Jones county six
miles rom the scene of his criem at
sunset yesterday, and after swing
ing him to an oak tree by the road
side. riddled his body with bullets.
The victim of the assault. Mrs.
Elizabeth Irving, 19 years-old, wife
of a prominent Jones county far-
as the perpetrator of the c^me and
no further questions were asked.
The capture was effected at the
edge of a dense wooded area sever
al miles wide and long. One of the
searching party, headed by the she
riff of Jones county, it is said, was
combing the underbrush a couple of
miles away when members of the
first mob saw ’the negro suddenly
emerge from a, thicket, making, it
was thought, a desperate effort to
gain entrance into a still larger
forest, extending for many miles
toward New Bern. He was com
manded to halt, which he did. Plac
ing Whitfield in an automobile, the
crowd rushed him to the home of
the Irvings, six miles away, where
Mrs. Irving identified him. “Please
don't kill him inthe yard” she cried,
it is said. “We won't shouted the
mob, and they proceeded with the,
tremblng negro to a point about]
one mile below the home, where a)
noose was slipped about his neck
and he was drawn up.
Fully 1,000 bullets of various
kinds penetrated the negro’s body,
it is said and ^ he mob dispersed,
leaving him swinging to the tree.
J. B. and G. G. Ward, of Bynum*
carried to Pittsboro Saturday morn
ing a curiosity in the form of three
bricks that would be interesing ob
jects for the State historical bureau.
The brick were taken from a chim
ney to a house occupied by the
grandfather of these men, Mr. Ben
jamin Horton, the date of the build
ing of whicsh isunknown.
Upon two of the brick are plain
and distinct tracks of hogs, made
there before the brick were dry and
presumably while they were in bak
ing in the sun on the. yards where
they were molded. They are of the
old type shape and size, and were
evidentally “cured” in the sun and
and not burned according to pre
sent day methods. The third brick
figures the date of 1612. There
fore the chimney evidentally has
been erected since that date, as it
is plainly insedibed in spencerian
was the custom of all old time-
brick masons to date a chimney
when the same was builded.
Whether these brick Were) madje
in this country or not after the 1st
Jamestown in 1607, or were brought
from the old country is a question.
It is generally believed here that
they were made in yhat is known
now as Chatham county. In any
event it is unmistakable that they
are three hundred and nine years
old and they are interesting to look

ER CAT PRESIDING
Two small kittens and a young
rat make the happy family of a
fond mother cat at Endfield, accord
ing J. T. Ethridge, who Saturday,
took a peep into the barrel which
serves as the amily home at I. D.
Wood’s store at Enfield, says a
Rocky Mount special to the News-
Observer:
The mother cat, according to Mr.
Ethridge, found tw o kittens several
days ago. and on the day after the
kittens came caught a young rat
and carried it to hr barrel home.
Evidentally the mother instinct got
the better of her or else the. kittens
and the rat developed a case of love
at first sight, for the mother speed
ily changed her killing intentions
and welcomed the rat into the free
dom of the home.
Now she is nursing the rat and
the two kittens, while the adopted
member has developed into an affec
tionate youngster, playing with the
mother cat and licking her fondly
as do the young kittens. On top of
that the new life appears to be
agreeing with’the rodent as he has
groyn considerably since his adop
tion.

“For years we have used Black-Draught in our family,
and I have never found any medicine that could take its
place,” writes Mr. H. A. Stacy, of Bradyville, Tenn. Mr. Sta
cy, who is a Rutherford County farmer, recommends Black-
Draught as a medicine that should be kept in every house
hold for use in the prompt treatment of many little ills to pre
vent them from developing into serious troubles.
THEDFORD’S
BLACK-DRAUGHT
“It touches the liver and does the work,” Mr. Stacy
declared. “It is one of the best medicines I ever saw for a
cold and headache. I don’t know what we would do in our
family if it wasn’t for Black-Draught. It has saved us many
dollars ... I don’t see how any family can hardly go with
out it I know it is a reliable and splendid medicine to keep
in the house. I recommend Black-Draught highly and am
never without it.”
