The Superior Court is still running along smoothly and a number of cases were disposed of today. The most imDortant. casp heard was that of Gus Abernethv who was ar raigned in three different cases, all tor assault. Gus, is what is known as a very bad "nigger" and by some hook or crook he has saved his neck, but not his liberty. Judge Neal gave Aoernetliy is months in the first case, six montns in the second and three in the third, making in all 27 montns tnat he will have to serve on the county roads. Fletcher Wilkes .who was so badly carved by Mary Hicks was given CO days on the county roads. Charlie Jackson for lareenv was sentenced to 12 months on the roads.

NEGRO SUSPECT IS Hel is Captured At Spartan burg and is Thought to Be the Brute Who Assaulted Miss Minta Carlisle Columbia, S. C, Feb. 11. A special to The State from Spartanburg says: "Deputy Sheriff Hilton, of Polk county, N. C, and Mr. L. N. Scoggins, who lives near Tryon, N. C, arrived in the city last night in quest of infor mation leading to the arrest of the negro who assaulted a young white woman. Minty Carlisle, three miles be yond Tryon, on Sunday morning. This negro was chased until darkness set in, Sunday night, from the lower edge of Polk county into Spartanburg coun ty, and the last information or clue was to the effect that he was coming toward this city. As the police had picked up in an engine in the yard of the C. & W. C. road here a negro on Monday morning early, and as that negro wras pronounced a vagrant and sent to the county stockade to serve a sentence, the matter was mentioned to the North Carolina men. They visited the stockade last night and took a close inspection of the vagrant, who gave as his name Will Gilmore. He wore a hat in keeping with the de scription of the ravisher; he also has a small, light moustache and is black in complexion. His height is medium. This is as far, reasonably speaking, as any approximate result can be at tained looking to the identity of the negro as Will Gilmore, as neither of the North Carolinians saw the perpe trator of the deed. They know, how ever, people at whose house the negro who committed the deed stopped on Sunday evening and begged for bread. These people have been notified and will come to the city and see if Gil more is the guilty party. "Minty Carlisle's condition is re ported as very critical. The negro in flicted several ugly scars on her head with a hickory stick. The young wo man is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Carlisle, who lives four miles from Tryon. She is a comely young woman of 23 years of age, and she and her people are honest, hardworking end respectable. The negro Gilmore, who is confined in the stockade, states that he has been working on the dam at Berrys Shoals, where the extension of the Tucapau mills is being built. He says he walked from Welford to Spar tanburg on Sunday night. The fact that he was found crouching in a loco motive tends to make him a suspicious character." To Be Married This Evening. Mr. Berry L. Holliman and Miss Marmrpt Freeland will be married this evening at 8 o'clock at the residence of the bride's father, Mr. P. c. rreeiana at No. 40K North Brevard street. Rev L. A.

In pre senting them he said they represented the desires of a vast number of the highest educational circles in the coun try and he thought that without the slightest consideration of the differ- ences of opinion relative to the reten tion of the Philippines, the selection 0 - of an investigating committee would be a wise and admirable thing.

THE COMMITTEE hears mm Begins Investigation of Char ges of Cruelty to Convicts at Marion and Adjourns to Raleigh Marion, N. C, Feb. 11. The investi gating committee appointed to inquire into alleged cruelties in regard to the convicts met here yesterday, heard tes timony until late last night, concluded the examination of witnesses and ad journed to meet in Raleigh and re sume the investigation there. The legislative committee consists of Senators H. N. Pharr, of Mecklenburg, and Thos. D. Warren, of Jones coun ty, and Representatives George L. Mor- tin, of New Hanover; T. W. Blount, of Washington, and W. C. Newland, of Caldwell. Mr. J. C. L. Bird presented the testi mony to the committee and introduced a number of witnesses, tending to es tablish the contention that convicts were cruelly treated. In the defense Supt. Mann showed that if cruelty was practiced he knew nothing of it. He impressed the. committee with the careful attention he had given person ally to the convicts. It seems, by the evidence adduced thus far, that the re sponsibility, if any, wdll be fixed upon one or more of the guards, though the committee has given out nothing yet and will not until the investigation is completed. There seems to be little doubt that some of the convicts suf fered some hardships, due mainly to the beastly weather conditions, but there was little tangible evidence -of cruelty.

CRAP SHOOTERS BAGGED BY POLICE There Are Five of Them, Al White and They Played Crap on Sunday By the Creek Bank Officers Fitts, Summerrow, Hunter and White, at an early hour this mom ing, swooped down on a section of the Victor Mill settlement and arrested Pink Spears, Will Donaldson, Baxter Ritch, Chas. Stancill and Chas. Ellis These five were charged with shooting craps and playing "skin" on the banks of Irwin's creek last Sunday, morning and afternoon. All of the bunch were before Recor der Shannonhouse this morning and all plead not guilty. The evidence was pretty straight, so the five were sent up to the Superior court that is new in session. Each was required to give a bond of $100. From the evidence adduced in the Recorder's court this morning, it seems that a crowd of the dwellers of the Victor Mill have, for some time, been congregating, every Sunday, on the creek banks for the purpose of gamb ling. This fact became known to the police some time ago, but no direct evidence could be obtained until the past Sabbath. There are several others who are said to be guilty of this crime and the police think they will have them before the court at tomorrow s sitting. The case of John Smith, who was charged with being drunk, which was postponed from yesterday morning, was again called this morning. The Recorder would not pass judgment un til he ascertained whether or not Smith assisted in the support of his family. Smith, on oath, yesterday morning stated that he worked at the carpenter's trade. This morning, one or two reputable witnesses testified that Smith's statement was true. Mrs. Smith, the wife, and three children, two daughters and one son, were be fore the court and pleaded for the re lease of the husband and father. The mother stated that her husband work ed whenever he could get anything to do, and that this was the first time he had been guilty of getting drunk. With tears in her eyes she stated to the court that she could not get along without the help of her husband and begged that she be allowed to pay from her own small purse the amount of the fine. This the court refused to do, saying that Smith was no help to the family and deserved to go to the chain gang. With this said, Smith was ordered back to a cell in the city prison. The mother and children followed the poor fellow back to his cell and there was much weeping. The Recorder was asked by the chief of police, several of the police men and one aldermen to reverse his decision but Smith went to his cell. When the News man left, the wife and four children were clinging to the cell door weeping as if their hearts were broken. The case of S. W. Kimbreil, for car rying a concealed weapon, was held open until in the morning. Mary Ellis and Nancy Stewart, both colored, were before the court, charged with a disturbance.
