WHITLEY,' OK 111 KUIS, SWl'XtJ TO A TKEE. ln sited ?Icu nreak Into Albcmtirle's Jail And Take Alex. Whitley Out And Swing Him to "a TreeThe Khef ilI'Overiowcred--He Slakes No Confession. , -,eoial to The Standard. Xlbemale, N. C, June 9. At 1:30 o'clock this morning a band of maskel and disfigured mca (about 75 in nnmber), appeared at the jail here and demanded prisoner Alexander Whitky. Sheriff Suuggs had a small guard on the lookout for the mob, fears of lynch nig Icing entertained by some. The men came with their bloody shirts on, and fully uYf.ermined to have Whitley or shed, blood in ihe attempt to get him. The mob demanded the keys of Sheriff Snuggs. He stood his ground bravely and held on to the keys, bailing to get the keys, the mob broke through all the deors, reached Wnitley, cut the shackle?, secured the prisoner and hastened off to the west side of Albemarle across the creek which borders. the town, and there swung him to the Ijmb of a tree. Whitley plead innocent and made no confession to any other crimes, but he said that Tucker was killed in his (Whitley's) house in Arkadeh phia, Ark., but by another party. Everything passed off quietly and Whitley's lifeless body hangs in the breezes this morning. J. lh h. Whitley stood charged with the murder of D B Tucker sometime in February last, the deed being com mitted in Arkansas. Xhis is the first murder, by lynching, ever com mitted in Stanly. It is a genuine sensation. That mob h3 done wremg if law be right. They .stand, today guilty of a crime that is more l;einous than the one with" which Whitley was charged. But in this day hcn justice miscarrys and our courts fail to do their duty, there is ni surprise at some people taking thlaw in tfeir own hands. Both Whitley and Tuckir were Stanly born men. Tucker at4.;rded school at the college it 1-1 1 and while known as a brh Lt uiA intellectual man, he was cor. nil v-.i a man of bad diameter, a d r. it wa3 known that he was gaiuliir:g, Tucker was expelled from college. He was one time consiutixu tLe best pulfiic school teacher ia Stanly, W-t his association was eu::!i ij: to bring him into evil repute. Thi3 IVLit Icy has never been conspicuous for noble dteds. Eourfh of July Celebration. Fourth of July celebration will take place at ."Rural Ho treat, No. 7, this year. Big preparations are being made for the occasion. J Cyrenus Wadsworth and the editor of thi3 sheet have consented to be present and throw newness into the old story. Those who hear Mr. Wadsworth's oration will never live to regret it. COL.

Edir : I copy the following jhich does me an injustice, from an it-m in your last week's issue from ; "Bosi's Mill items :" 'The postoffice authorities' are weekly inquiring into an offense against the postal laws, ccmmited at Mint II ill, in. (J., in November, 1891." Now, I have to say, that the "non deplume is mistaken, or lias made a misrepresentation. If there ever has been an offense committed at Mint Hill, ugainst the postal laws of enough 'importance to command the attention of the authorities, it has never come to my knowledge; neith er has then ever been a letter of in qmryseut 10 mis omee inquiring into said or'ense.
