Several boys thought they would haye some fun on Tuesday night by hiding themselves- in darkness on Main street . and chunck rocks at some young men who were out calls ng. The result was quite different from what they thought for, as they mistook another man for one of their preyv Although the man did not get hit be wasucc9fsful in securing their names and will doubtless pre' sent them to tie police. This is very bad condnct for little fellows who 'should be at their homes, in bid or at their books. - Mr HP Torre Lowe Cc Son. ntCr - !. the 'ji3J-i." - D. o '.v-i VrL:r', it, K'b charged wicn a fiendish' insula to tne half-witted d .lighter of Mr. Iiailf an account of which -sas in these columns, is dowJu the Rowan jail for safe keeping. Tne authorised. of this county were made to believe, by a "sham" telegram from Harris burg, that a lynching bee, several hurdred strong, was headed towards Concord last Thursday night. Sheriff Sims had the doctor taken to the Presbyterian church and summoned a guard to stay at the jail to receive the lynching bee or do whatever was necessary. About 4 or 5 o'clock Friday morning he had Dr. White taken back to j ii), where he remain ed until Friday evening's train, on whic'i the sheriff took him to Salis bury, where, according to the World, he is now in j iil. . Quite naturally Dr. White insists on his innocence, claiming that he is persecuted, etc. Being rather in telligent and gifted at speech he made some believe bis side of the story. On the ether hand, from responsible parties, from the tearful story of the young girl's parents and the testimony of Drs. Jerome and Hartsell, who immediately after the alleged crime were called in and ex amined the young girl, a very dark case is claimed against the prisoner. But The Standard is not trying the case. Some say the Magistrate's trial was a farce; some say it was fair, the prisoner having all the witnesses he desired. It is'alledged that while on trial, shot guns and pistols and other weapons were" pointed at him. Thi-i is denied. The offense was committed in Stanly county and the spot where the crime is said to have been committed shows evidence of struggle. The trial was in Stanly. The magistrate sent him, the prisoner, with the com mitment endorsed by two Cabarrus magistrates, to the Cabarrus jail. It is said that the proceedings wr re out of order; that the sheriff had no right to receiye a prisoner from the cciii-t of a ' magistrate of p.oibcf county, but the eheriff knows his business and tcuk him in aud has thus tn prevented hia lynching. There seems, from the bost in formation we cm get, but little ground for believing that thre was any Btrcng probabilites of Ijnchicg. While a number said he ought to be, etc, there was not any concerted ac tion, we are told it takes a leader to lead a mob. While all this talk took place before and ebout ths trial, there was absolutely no danger of it after the prisoner was brought to town, not only because the mob would not come safiisiently strong but because we believe Sheriff Sims would die in hia boots and have his guards do the same rather than have a prisoner lynched.

He said tlat he had not walktd a step since ciurt in July, except, by nivaua of crutches. He met Dr. White and the doctor took hi3 case. "Ee gave me posne medi cine one night and the next morn ing," saio Tally, "I tvaiked cut to the kitchen like a ne- man and the occurence so surprised my vife she got so 6i'ck she bad to Bit down."

It is indeed an ugly case and since the affair the poor young girl has had two spasms, directly traoe- able, the physicians say, to the wrong done her. ' Under such circumstances, with this light," said a well informed gentleman, a native of Ohio, "that man would not reach a magistrate's trial in Ohio he would be lynched at once. . The Standard has printed all the above for no other purpose than to give the public what is claimed, and because of the fact that the word ha3 gone out to the effect that we are a people to take the law into out own hands. Such is not the case. CabarruB people don't lynch.

A-EORaiDfE ACCIDENT Henry Kliuinvmi Fntally Ranted tin the .Guard Louse-luoluer Pris oner Escapes. Monday's Salisbury HeralJ: Sat urday afternoon Henry Kimmons, vhite, and Bob "Boyden, colored, were founl on the streets drunk and rmt m the eruard house. - I his is a common occurrence but the impris onment proved to be the death of Kimmons. " Aoout 8" o'clock at night the a'ai m of fire waa given and ic was found to be in the guard houEe. The room in which Boyden was con fined was burning fiercely on the inside and the door wus soon opened He stated that he was burned and was sent to Kluttz's drug store for treatment by a physician. Dr. W W McKenzie was summoned, but before he came Boyden left and has not since been seen. After the door to Boyden's cell had been opened an effort was made to unlock the dcor to the cell in which Kimmons was confined, but the key refused to work, and it is said was dropped and lost, and the heat and smoke drove the officers out of the building. "The fare com panies promptly responded to the alarm and soon had two lines of hose stretched to the building, and in the meantime parties with axes were cutting into Kimmons' cell. This took time and the building was burning rapidly. Owing to its nature the fire was hard to control and it was ten minutes or more after the water waa turned on before the building could be entered. The door was then broken open and sev eral men rushed in the room and brought Kimmons out. The man waa unconscious and was hurriedly taVen to Kluttz's ding store, where several physicians did all they could to relieve him. lie was badly burned and had in haled a large quantity of smoke and heat, and his recovery wa3 thought hardly possible. After remaining at the dru? store eotne time Kimmons was taken to the Rowan House.

While conscious yesterday Mr. Kimmons advised (he friends around him to live right.' He had not done as hs should, for which he was veiy sorry, but it wa3 too late for him to reform, B3 his hours were numbered. This warning from the death bed should be heeded. While the origin of the fire is not known it is universally believed that Boy-Jen was the cause of it. The fire starfed on the inside of the cell in which he was confined and there had been no fire in the build ing Saturday. The opinion is that he fned the building hog to es cape. He ia an old offender, having served on the chain Rang for two jear3, and is considered a bad char icter. Officers Bearched for him Saturday night and yesterday, but he ha3 bo far eluded arrest.

A Bis Hlstake Sheriff Sims, after all, is but hn man. He's done gone and made a big . mistake. Besides playing a practical joke on a tew innocent town people as well as himself, h missed an opportunity of BhowiDg good judgement. He expected a mob Thursday night to call at the county jiil for Dr. White, the "Icgin," and lake him cut and put him on the road to the great hereafter so he had Mas ter Jay Sims to take the doctor off and hide him and then deputized a dozen innocent men to sit up at the j ill all night awaitirg the appear atce of the .moi to -inform them that Dr. White wasn't at home. The mistake is not in providing a reception committee to do coorteaies to the men whom the Sheriff ex pected to call for Dr. White, but he made his mistake in the men select ed. Why didn't he deputize several dczo. of the Life Insurance Agents, ii.noGg them a 320 pounder, who are a vr in the cuy : They "'d fac any kind of an assemblage and teii tiK-t'i how awful it is to die without au insurance policy and thus per suade them to go off and insure be fore having the Sheriff's Gatlmg gun turn on 'em.

Tlie Kev-irs Crofis STntllied of n Prince ly I of tu:ie IT li icu Is theirs- . lue .i tov-i wee xcited Saturday, hot not o-;-r c--M.ou, It was thrown out of its state of every-day mono tony from the fact that a legacy bad been left it. Here is the good news in a nutshell: Mr. Cro8S, cutter and buyer for Heath & Reid, waa notified Saturday mcming by Mr. Wm. Smith, of Concord, who had been for years counsel for -the family that he was one of three heirs ta an estate valued at froio one to two million dollars, part of which is in this country and the rest in Brazil. Thos. Loyd Halsey was an uncle of the Messrs Cross' O. B., J. M. ansl D. Brooks Cross, He went to Proyidence, E. I., and there amassed a considerable fortune, and. after ward went to Brazil, xrfcere he made his millions. He died recently without issue and his estate goes to his next of kin the Cross heirs of this county and Cabarru3. Mr. Smith, of Concord, was notified by Mr. Foster, a lawyer, of Providence, R I, and will leave in a few days for Providence, with power of attor ney from the Cross heirs to aet with Mr, Foster in settling up tbe estate. He will also go to Brazil to represent the Messrs Jroas. Charlotte Ob server. The Standard interviewed Ats omey W M Smith about all thia matter. He Laa the will of tbe late Thomas Lloyd Halsey, who died in 185C, leaving an estate valued at $2,000,000. By will, Messrs. Jco. Carter Brcwn and Mosea Brown lves, ot rrovideuce, R. l., were ap pointed trustee3 to look &f ter the eatate and pay the income from it for life to Mrs. Maria Louisa An drea del Valle, who lived in South America, She with her family were to return to America make this their home and adopt the name of Halsey, within fiye yeara. This they failed to do. Thomas Lloyd Halsey had three sisters: Mrs. F M Cross (the grand mother ot the Urossea in tni3 sec tion) Mrs. Commodore Creighton and Miaa Sarah Halsey, who died without i33ue. Sometime ago the Supreme court of the United Statea decided that Mra. Andrea del Valle 3 entitled to 'life interest, but the other points were not fcettlcl JSiow that sua is dead, it eeema clear that the descendants cf Mr. Halaey's sisters become the legal heirs. Indeed there seems to bs no doubt. The final settlement of tbe the matter, however, tiu3t neces sarily be when the United States Supreme Court renders another de cision. It the result ia as expected, one-half of this estate will fall to the heirs cf Mr3. F M Cress, a3 one sister died . without issue, leaying Mrs. Creighton and Mrs. Cross, the grandmother of Messrs. Brooks Cross and hia two brothers, sole heirs. Tha estate left is one-half in America and onenhalf in Buenos Ayers, South America. The Standard understands that Attorney Foster has nothing to do with this matter. Attorney Smith has alone gathered the facts and will in a few days, with powers of attorney, leave for E. I,, to further prosecute the matter in the interest of the Cross heirs. It iray be ncessary to go to South America but as yet this matter has not been decided upon. The South is in luck. The At lanta Exposition and Providence are turning loose much filthy lucre in thi3 section. On Thanksgiving KIght. In behalf of the Ladies Aid So ciety of Forest Hill Methodist the firemeu have decided to postpone their "At Home" that was decided upon for Thanksgiving night, in or der that the society might be aided by a more liberal patronage at their contemplated oyster supper set for that date.

DRY & WADSWORTH. THE DROP IN" COTTON. Lowest Point Reached Since the Sea son Opened Hopes for Ten Cent Ctton arc Sow Mini. Charlotte News : Cotton in still on tbe decline. The New York mar ket to day waa lower than it has been any time since the opening of the present season. This decline is a puzzler for the cotton m?n, who are not able to understand ic. When receipts were heavy, the. price was higher than now, when the receipts are lie;ht. The receipt? are not oyer sixty per cent of last year's receipts, yet in the face of all that, the mars ketis now at a point lower than it has yet been. The only way to ac count for the low price is that the cotton is being held back, and are afraid that a a rise in the price might briog on a flood that would overwhelm them. The farmers, though, still haye the best, of the bargain, for they are in anch a po sition that no combination can be formed, that cm force them to sell for lees than eight cents, unless they desire to do so. They haye the cot ton, and. they are not going to give it up for less than eight cents. That they will be pretty sure to gef. Con ditions, however, are such . aa,tc in dicate a slimxhance for ten cent cotton. Some weeks ago it looked favorable for that figure, but it is now hardly probable that. the ten cent rotch is going to be realizad. If it does reach ten cents, it will be a lightninguaoge back to the eight cent figures.
