A Number Of Citizens, Headed By
G. W. Knight, Present Petition
To Governor Lanham Asking
That State Permit Mob Punish
ment To Negro Brutes.
Desire Policy of Absolute Unprotec
tion For Accused. Went No Trial
Nor Legal Inquiry. Governor
Directs Reply to Legal Phases
Of Proposition.
By Associated Press.
Houston, Tex. Oct. t. A petition
from a number of citizens headed by
G. W. Knight, of San Marcos, has been
presented to governor Lanham asking
that the state permit mob punishment
of negroes who assault women. The
governor is asked to indorse the policy
of absolute unprotection to negroes
guilty of assault, insuring that they be
given no trial by legal inquiry of any
kind and that they may be hanged in
stantly as soon as apprehended.
Governor Lanham's response princi
pally is directed to the legal phase of
the proposition. It is set forth 'that it
is impossible for him to countenace the
policy in view of his oath of office and
state legislation which he is bound to
protect.
MODELS FOR PHOTOGRAPHS.
Old Men
With White Beards Are a
Reaular Type.
New York, Oct. 7. There are art mo
for photographers as there are for
painters, but not all are selected for
their beauty.
"The pictures that the photogra
phers are all struggling to take now,"
one of them explained the other day,
"are those which, afford great opportu
nities for effects in light and shadow,
which used to be impossible in the old
fashioned photograph. There are
very few subjects that come to the
studio who afford any opportunity for
effects cf this kind.
"So it is necessary to hire a model
when a photographer wants to make
a really striking picture for exhibition.
He picks out some man with flowing
hair and, if possible, a white beard, as
that gives him a splendid field to
work on. If he is able to get a black
eyed man with black eyebrows and a
white beard he is certain of getting a
very striking picture.
"Of course, with the model as a sub
ject he can do with it what he wants.
He can touch up the lights in relief and
do anything that makes his work seem
more striking. No other sitter who
had paid for his pictures would sub
mit to anything of the kind. The
modol can't help himself."
Fancy photographs of a kind popu
lar some rears ago have gone entire
ly out of fashion. Time was when a
pretty actress with perhaps only her
face to make her fortune, would be
photographed in all kinds of costumes
and draperies, but the kind of photog
raphy that attracts most attention now
jidays needs sharp contrasts in color.
Few of the models used by photogra
phers are professionals. Usually they
are met with no occupation, who are
delighted at the Chance to earn some
money.

New Company Chartered Boy's Leg
Broken While Playing.
Special to The News.
Jonesboro, N. C. Oct. 7. Jonesboro
is still advancing in improvements. Re
cently the Jonesboro Improvement
Company was chartered by the State
and it is expected that it will be a great
factor in the upbuilding of the town.
The company is now erecting a cotton
warehouse, 104 by50 feet, near the At
lantic and Western- Railroad. The
building will be handled and used for
storing cotton. This enterprise will be
a great help to the framers, in that they
can store their cotton, when the price
is low, draw whatever money
they are compelled to have on it, and
wait until the price advances before
they sell it.
Master James Worthy, a student at
the graded school here, had the mis
fortune Tuesday to get one of his legs
broken while playing on the school
grounds. A large brick store house is
soon to be built on the site of the
"Bryan" old store between Main and
Trade street.
Mr. W. E. Hamilton, of Union coun
ty, has purchased a large tract of land
near here and will soon move his
family to this place.
PRISONER HEIR TO $10,000.

Saved in Runaway.
Allentown, Pa., Oct. 7. Preston A.
Young, a local promoter, who is serv
ing a two-year sentence in jail on a
charge of swindling a dozen Lehigh
County farmers in a bogus industrial
bank scheme, to-day received informa

Much Interest.
The announcement is made that Bre

dedicated the first Sunday in Novem
ber. Bishop A. W. Wilson, of Balti
more, will preach the dedicatory ser
mon. The church has just been completed,

handsome brick structure, costing
about $10,000.
Rev. L. A. Falls is the paster of the
church, this being his fourth- year in
charge. He has worked faithfully and
well, and the new building stands
largely as a monument to his heroic
and untiring labor and his great faith
that the work could be done. His con
gregation has been loyal and . ever
ready to follow his leadership, and
now all are rejoicing in the success
that has crowned their efforts. In this
connection it may be stated that Mr.
Foils is held very closely in the hearts,
not only of his own people, but of all
Charlotte, and there is much regret that
he cannot, owing to the four-year-limit,
he returned to the work here next
year.
Bishop Wilson goes from here to
Greensboro to hold conference the week
following the dedicatory service.

COTTON GROWERS
II! SESSION TODAY
t
The Report Of The Finance Com
mittee Discussed At Length No
Final Action Taken. Overture
From Steele Creek Other Busi
ness Transacted. .
The regular monthly meeting of the
Mecklenburg county cotton association
was held In the court house this morn
ing at 11 o'clock. President H. K.
Reid -presiding in his official capacity.
The roll call of delegates was responded
to by every township except Deweese,
Lemly, Huntersville and Paw Creek,
all the others being representd by from
one to a half dozen.
The first business before the associa
tion was the reading of a communica
tion by Secretary W. S. Pharr from
President Harvey Jordan with refer
ence to the interested manifested by
the farmers of -our county and to the
present organization of this State.
President Jordan declares that the suc
cess of the Southern cotton association
in any state depends largely upon the
activity and methods employed by the
heads of the various State Divisions.
A portion of his letter reads as follows:
"If your State officials are not doing
their duty the matter should be
brought to the attention of the State
Executive Committee. If there are
men in your association who have been
given the opportunity to push the work
and have failed to measure up to the
requirements; then it becomes the duty
of the state deleates to make a change
and get such men as will carry for
ward the work so far as to insure re
sults to the producers through our
great movement."
President Jordan further stated that
he had written to Col. Cunningham,
the State president, advising a more
active campaign of his work in this
State and streesed the importance of it
on the part of State Secretary T.
B. Parker. This is a matter that will
come up before the county delegates at
the State convention in December, at
which time such officials will be se
cured as will cive all the encourage
ment and support necessary to the com
plete ' -and better -erg&mzattoE of. te
State. Along this same line, Mr. Mc
D. Watkins read, a letter from Col.
Cunningham urging the people to stand
firm and that he hoped he (Mr. Wat
kins) would lay the case clearly be
fore them to stand by the association.
Neither letter was discussed.
The next business before the asso
ciation was the report of Mr. McD.
Watkins, as chairman of the finance
committee, which is composed of Mes
srs McD. Watkins, Houston J. Brown,
B. D. Heath, J. H. Weddington and R.
M. Miller, Jr. Mr. Watkins stated that
the meeting was very active and a
great deal of interest was manifested
on the part of each member. After
carefully considering the matter the
committee decided on the following res
olutions which were presented to the
association his morning:
1st. Any non-producer of cotton who
desires to become a regular or active
member of this assocition will pay an
admission fee of $1.00 and in addition
$5.00 annually.
2nd.- Any non-producer of cotton
who desires to become an honorary
or an associate member of this asso
ciation, will pay an admission fee of
$1.00 and in addition $2.50 annually.
. . 3rd, Any producer of cotton, as
landlord, who desire to become a mem
of this association will pay an ad
mission fee of $1.00 and in addition
will also pay two cents per bale on his
production of cotton.
It was moved and seconded that the
resolutions be received, and later, that
it be accepted seriatim. Both motions
were carried.
Dr. Lester W. Hunter opposed the
first section of the report on the
grounds that the manufacturer and the
farmer were two different classes and
that if the manufacturer was elligible
to membership, then they would soon
have control of the association, the
farmers taking the rear seat. He sam
the manufacturers were taking money
out of the farmers pockets and that
if they were admitted into the associa
tion they would be in better condition
than ever. Rev. P. H. Gwynn, pastor
of the Steel Creek Presbyterian church,
heartily, favored and strongly advocat
ed the resolution on the grounds that
the association should have the co-operation
of all our Southern fellow
men. Dr. W. P. Craven, Mr. a H.
Wolfe and others joined in the discus
sion. The question was finally called
and by a rising vote of the appointed
township delegates, lost by a vote of
6to 11.
The second resolution was adopted
by a vote of 8 to 9.-
After two hours discussion it was
moved that the report be referred back
to the committee for reconsideration
and it b submitted at the next meet
ing. ' The motion was carried by a vote
of 12 to 5.
Th last business before the associa
tion was the submitting of an overture

Washington, Oct. 7. The Govern

cane syrup making has been brought to
a successful conclusion and Secretary
Wilson ordered a sale of the Govern
ment factory which was built at Way
cross, Georgia, three years ago. This
plant was established for the purpose
of giving a course of study to cane
syrup manufacturers of the Gulf States.
These manufacturers had experienced
difficulity in making syrup of uniform
color, preventing it from reverting to
sugar and fermenting. The plant was
established by Dr. Wiley, chief of the
bureau of chemistry, and his experi
ments proved entirely successful. The
plant cost the Government less than
$15,000 and resulted in an improvement
of the annual production of nearly 200,

Bodies Of Willis And Fred Olney
Found In Woods Near Where
Body Of Alice Ingerick Was

Unconscions.
Middletown, N. Y., Oct 7. A triple
murder was revealed here when the
bodies of Willis and Fred Olney were
found in the woods half a mile from
home, at which last night was found
the murdered body of Alice Ingerisk.
Both brothers had been shot Before
night the crime is expected to number
one more victim, Mrs. George Ingerick,
mother of the girl Alice. The mother,
who was found unconscious in the barn
of the Olney brothers farm last night,
has not regained consciousness and was
said by the physicians to be dying with
three fractures in her skull.
No Cause Known.
As yet, however, no plausable theory
for the murders has been advanced.
The four persons in the house about
dark yesterday, according to Lulu In
gerick, who' left the place shortly be
fore the tragedy, were Willis Olney, 62
; Fred. Olney, 58; Mrs. Ingerick, house
keeper of the two brothers, and her
small daughter Alice. Lulu, who is 13,
went to Middletown returning in time
for a late supper.. Finding the house
empty, the girl in a fright, summoned
the neighbors, who searched the prem
ises. Alice was found dead in the cel
lar, her head beaten with an iron pipe.
Her mother was found unconscious in
the barn, apparently beaten by the
same instrument, which was picked up
on the kitchen floor by the searching
party. Willis Olney was a widower
and Fred 'a bachelor. Mrs. Ingerick,
who had been separated from her hus
band, had been employed as housekeep
er at the Olney brothers place" only
about one month. Her husband, Mar
tin Ingerick, lived at Wurtsboro, not
far from Middletown. In the house no
traces of robbery have been found. The
fact that an attempt was made to kill
every person who is known to have
been in the Olney house, has caused the
police to declare that there were ocher
motives than robbery for the commis
sion of the crime.
