POWDEH FLOJ
The following paper was read re
cently before the Virginia Dare Book
Club of oncord by one & its mem
berg. The colonial and Revolutionary his
tory of Cabarrus is closely connected
with that Si Mecklenburg county. No
portion of the State was more fixed and
forward in the cause of liberty than
this immediate Action. In the con
vention at Charlotte, on the 20th of
May, 1775, this part of Mecklenburg
as stroffgly represented, ana her dele
gates joined heartily in pledging "(heir
lives, their fortunes and most sacred
honor" to maintain and defend their
liberty and independence.
There is one bold transaction con
nected with the early history of Cabar
rus, showing that the germs of liberty,
at and before the battle of Alamance
inj.771, were ready to burst forth at
aay moment, under the warmth of pa
triotic excitement.
Previous to the battle of Alamance,
on the 16th day of May, 1771, the first
blood shed in the American Revolution
there were many discreet persons-, the
advocates of the law and order, through
out the province, who sympathized
with the justness of the principles
which actuated the "Regulators," and
their stern opposition to official corrup
tion and extortion, but did not approve
of their hasty conduct and occasional
violent proceedings. Accordingly, a
short time preceding that unfortunate
conflict, which only smo'thered for a
time the embers of freedom, difficulties
arose between Governor Tryon and the
Regulators, when that royal official, in
order to coerce them into his measures
of submission, procured from Charles
ton, S. C, three wagon loads of the
munitions of war, consisting of powder,
flintf, blankets, etc. These articles
were brought to Charlotte, but from
some suspicions arising in the minds of
the whigs as to their true destination
and use, wagons could not be hired in
the neighborhood for their transporta
tion. At length, Colonel Moses Alex
ander, a magistrate under the Colonial
Government, succeeded in getting wa-
gons by impressment, to convey the
munitions to Hillsboro, to obey the
behests of tyrannical governor. The
vigilance of the jealous wnigs was ever
on the lookout for the suppression of
all such infringements upon the grow
ing spirit of freedom, then quietly but
surely planting itself in the hearts of
the people.
The following individuals, viz: James,
William and John White, brothers, and
William White, a cousin, all born and
raised on Rocky River and one mile
from Rocky River Church, Robert Ca-
ruthers, Robert Davis, Benjamin Coch
rane, James Ashmore and Joshua Had
ley bound themselves by a most solemn
oath not to divulge the secret object of
their contemplated mission, and in or
der more effectually to prevent detection
blackened their faces preparatory to
their intended work of destruction.
They were joined and led in this and
other expeditions by Wm. Alexander,
of Sugar Creek congregation, a brave
soldier and afterward known and dis
tinguished from others bearing the
same name as "Captain Black Bill
Alexander," and whose sword now
hangs in the Library Hall of Davidson
College, presented in behalf of his de
scendants by tne late worthy intelli
gent and Christian citizen, W. Shakes
peare Harris, Esq.
These determined spirits set out in
the evening, while the father of the
Whites was absent from home with
two horses, each carrying a bag of
grain. The White boys were on foot
and wishing to move rapidly with their
comrades, all mounted, in pursuit of
the wagons loaded with the munitions
of war, fortunately for their feet met
their father returning home with his
burdtos, and immediately demanded
tbe"use of His horses The old gentle?
man, not knowing who they were (as
black as Satan himself) pleaded hearti
ly for the horsfj until he conld carry
home fns bags of niealtmthis petitions
were in vain. The boys (bis ons) or
dered him to ftsmount removed the
bags from the horses, and placed them
by the side of the road. hey then im
roediaterff mounted- the disburden
horses, joined their corgrades and in
a short space of time came up with tbj
wagons ajjcamped on Fhifer's Hilf,
three miles west of our tpwn, on the
road leading from Charlotte to Salis
bury. Thev immediately unloaded 0
TH
Qagons, stove in the headsf the kegs,
V ... . .t-
tnrew the powder into a fje, tonsiae
blankets into strips, made a train of
powder a considerable distance from
the pile and then Major James White
fired a pistol into the train, which
produced a tremendous explosion.
A stave from the pile struck White
on the forehead anbOit him severely.
As aoon as this bold exploit became
known to CoL. Moses Alexander he put j
his whole ingenuity to work tdrfind out
the perpetrators of It foul a deed against
hjf majesty. The transaction remained
a mystery for gorge time. Great threats
were made, and, in offer to induce
some one to turn traito a pardon was
offered to any one who would turn
King's evlence against the rest. Ash
more and JIadley, being half brothers,
and composed of the 8ame rotten ma
terials, set out unknown to each other
to avail themselves of the offered par
don, and accidentally met each other
on the threshold of Moses Alexander's
house. When they made known their
business, Alexander remarked "that by
virtue of the Governor's proclamation
they were pardoned, but they were the
first that ought to be hanged." The
rest of the "Black Boys" had to flee
from tBeir country. They fled to the
state of Georgia, where they remained
for some time.
The governor, finding he could not
get them into his grasp, held out in
sinuations that if they would return
and confess their fault they should be
pardoned. In a short time the boys
returned from Georgia to their homes.
As soon as it became known to Moses
Alexander he raised a guard, consisting
of himself, his two brothers, John and
Jake, and a few others, and surrounded
the house of the old man White, the
father of the boys. Caruthers, the son-in-law
of White, happened to be at
White's house at the same time. To
make the capture- doubly sure, Alexan
der placed a guard at each door. Une
of the guards, wishing to favor the
escape of Caruthers, struck up a quar
rel with Moses Alexander at one door,
while his brother, Daniel Alexander,
whispered to Mrs. White if there were
any of them within, they might pass
out and he would not notice it ; in the
meantime out goes Caruther, and in a
few jumps was in the river, which
flowed near the besieged mansion.
The alarm was immediately given, but
pursuit was fruitless.
At another time the royalists heard
of some of the boys being in a harvest
field and set out to take them ; but al
ways having some one in their company
to favor their escape, as they rode up
in sight of the reapers, one of them,
duly instructed, waved his hand, which
the boys understood as a signal to
make their departure. On that occas
ion they pursued Kobert Davis so
closely that it is said he jumped his
horse thirty feet down a bank into the
river, and dared them to follow him
and thus the "Black Boys" lied from
covert to covert to save their necks
from the blood-thirsty loyalists, who
were constantly hunting them like wild
beasts. They would lie concealed for
weeks at a time, and the neighbors
would carry them food until they
fairly wearied out their pursuers. The
oath by which they bound themselves
waa an imprecation of the strongest
kind, and the greater part of the im
precation was literally fulfilled in the
sad ends of Hadley and Ashmore.
The latter fled from his country, but be
lived a miserable life, and died as
wretchedly as he had lived. Hadley
still remained in the country, and was
known for many years to the people of
Rocky River. He was very intemper
ate, and in his fits of intoxication was
very harsh to his family in driving
them from his house in the dead hours
of the night. His neighbors, in order
to chastise him for the abuse of his
family (among whom were some of the
"Black Boys,") dressed themselves in
female attire, went to his bouse by
night, pulled him from his bed, drew
his shirt over his head and gave him a
severe whipping. The punishment, it
is said, greatly improved the future
treatment of his faftiily. He con
tinued, however, through life the same
miserable wretch, and died without any
friendly hand to sustain him or eye to
pity his deplorable end.
Frequently when the royalists ranged
the country in pursuit of the "Black
Boys," the why-s would colleet in
bodies consisting of twenty-five or thirty
men, ready t pounce upon the pursu
ers if they Tiad captured any orthe
boys. From the allurements held out
to the boys to give fhnselves up, they
went, at one time, nearly to Hillsboro
to beg the pardon ofGovernor Trytta,
but findinjfttat it was his intention, if
he could get them into hiiiands to
have hanged everyone of them,,hey
returned and kept themselves coriteealed
until patriotic sentiment grew so rapidly
ftisjp that time (1771), to the Mecklen
burg Declaration (May 20th, 1775)?riat
concealment was no larger necessary.
Whenhe drama of the Revolution
opened, these jjj)ame "Black Boys"
sfcapd up manfully for the cause of
American freedom anstiobly assisted
in achieving, on many a hard fought
battle field, the independence of our
country.

From Florida to Pennsylvania a
long jump, but I split the difference by
a stop over of two days at Forsyth, Ga.,
last fridfty and Saturday, at the con
vention of the Home Mission Society
of the IJorth Georgia Conference. My
wife is vice president of that society,
and as she is the only member of my
family, including myself, who ever held
office, we are proud of her and never
fail to attend the convention of that
charitable institution.- My wife is vice
president and general manager. Only

I always enjoy the conventions of
women. I can get to rest my voice and
mind, too, occasionally.
These good women in convention
met. Talk and work, talk and sing,
talk and devise means to carry on their
work; talk and pass resolutions; talk
and adjourn and then adjourn and
talk. God bless them, talks and all.
I spoke in the court house in Forsyth
at 11 o'clock Saturday morning and"
the brethren were there from Capa

Monroe county is soon to decide
whether she will remain prohibition or

We left Washington City after a stop
of half an hour, and when we passed
through Baltimore we could but feel
for those splendid merchants and busi

was so complete and so awful.
I came from Baltimore to Harris
burg, Pa. The Pennsylvania railroad
parallels the Susquehanna river moet of
the way between the cities, and such a
sight I never looked on before. Thous
ands and thousands of acres of ice (piled
out on each side of the river) from 10
to 20 . feet deep; houses and barns
crushed to kindling wood or overturned
by the fearful floods of ice and water
great trees stripped of their foliage and
some of them skinned from bottom to
top. I tell you it has been squally
times up and down the Susquehanna
river. The water has receded and left
the lowlands covered, as I said, with
ice 10 to 20 feet in depth enough ice
to bear the ice market all the summer,
if it was preserved and made market
able.
I spent yesterday in Pittsburg. Poll
tics is beginning to boil in Pennsyl

Roosevelt is the winner. The Deino
crats don t know where they are at.
They think at times they know, then
here comes the report that this and
that and the other city or county or
state has declared for Hearst, and then
they think they don't know where they
are at. Even George Fred has declared
for Hearst. Hearst's candidacy seems
a joke, and yet if the Democrats keep
up their old lick of playing the fool
they may nominate him. He has bar
rels of money and newspapers to burn
just started another in Boston. Pr
ker is the natural, legitimate, logical
candidate of the Democratic party, and
no doubt will get it, unless the Demo
crats propose to play the fool in a mon
umental way.
Roosevelt has the Republican party
in his ves( pocket, and he is steady in
the saddle. With Parker and a good
man from Indiana for his running
mate, .the Democrats have a fighting
chance, and may make the landing.
But if they put up Hearst they had
just as well hold the convention and
nominate Bryaif and Sockjess Jerry
Simpson and go home and get drunk
instead of saying they were fools. Go
it, gcntlemanf I don'Ucare which gets
licked; I dont belong lq either gang,
I am a prohibitionist, I keep telling
you, and I won't change my politics
until th? Democrats quit playing the
fool and the Republicans quit.acting

opinion that I will never change froml
my prohibition principles.

SATO JOM
A BOOfkVEtT WAR STORY.
Jacob A. Riis in his "Theodore
Roosevelt th Citizen," now running
serially in The Outlook, tells this.anec
dote o Colonel Roosevelt's war exper
ience :
He h3 a man in his regiment,
child of the frontier, in whom dwelt the
soul of a soldier in war, not in peace.
By no process of reasoning or discip
line could he be persuaded to obey the
camp regulations, while the regiment
lay at San Antonio, and at last he was
court-martialed, and sentenced, to six
months' imprisonment a technical
sentence, for there was no jail to put
him in. The prison was another rough
rider following him around with a riile
to keep 'him in bounds. Then came
the call to Cuba, and the colonel planned
to leave him behind as useless bag
gage. When the man heard of it his
soul was Btirred to its depths. He
came and pleaded as a child to be taken
along. He would always be good;
never again could he show up in Kan
sas if the regiment went to the war
without him. At sight of his real
agony "Mr. Roosevelt's heart relented.
"All right," he said. "You deserve
to be shot as much as anybody. You
shall go." And he went, flowing over
with gratitude, to prove himself in the
field as good a man as his prison of
yore who fought beside him.
Then came the mustering out. When
the last man was checked off and ac
counted for, the War Department of
ficial, quartermaster or general or
something, fumbled with his papers.
"Where is Che prisoner?" he asked.
"The prisoner? ' echoed Colonel
Roosevelt; "what prisoner?"
"Why, the man who got six months
at a court martial."
"Oh, he! He is all right. I remitted
his sentence."
X he oflinal looked the colonel over
curiously.
"You remitted his sentence," he
said. "Sentenced by a court martial,
approved by the commanding general,
you remitted Ins sentence. Well,
you've got nerve."

The hen is the female sex of the
roOHter. She is very useful when you
want eggB, which are sometimes 40
cents a dozen and are unwholesome if
eaten copiously when they are hard
boiled.
The hen frequents barns and other
agricultural places, and is always hun
gry except when she is setting, at which
time she become much irritated and
will inflict severe injuries upon you if
you attempt to caress her.
Once my uncle Burtram had a ben
that set for five weeks on a walnut,
two boot heels and a glass stopper.
She did not hatch anything. From
this we learn that we should have
some great object in life and stick to it.
Let us be punctual in our attendance

To tell when a hen is done you cook
five or six hours and then stick a fork

V outh's Compaclon.
Secretary Shaw of the Treasury De
partment said recently that there seems
to be no place for the boys. The babe
and the man arj welcome, and the girl,
by ker winsome ways, makes a place
for herself in the homes; but almost
the only door that swings with a sure
welcome for the boy openfc into places
where the boy ought not to go. Mr.
Shaw said he knew of few homes to
Which boys are invited.
Boys have muddy feet and play noisy
games. I hey like dogs and horses,
goats and guinea pigs, and do not al
ways remember that the parlor was
not furnishedfor use as a dog-house.
Every mother knows this; but how
many fathers and mothers would have
heir boys less fond of animals than
they are, or less liberally endowed with
healthy, rollicking' spirits ?
The purpose of Secretary -Shaw's
remarks will doubtless be accomplished
when the attention of parrents is direct
ed to the work in progress for develop
ing boys into all-round men. In the
cities, especially, is this work done. Not
on'y are the trades taught to boys in day
and night-schools, but schools are
maintained in the vacation season to
occupy the attention of those who might
otherwise be in mischief. Moreover, the
boys who come in contact with the
police ure not sent to jail with hard
ened evil-doers so frequently as a few
years ago. The authorities assume,
with good reason, that the boys are not
bad, but only misled, and that they
will make good citizens if they have
half a chance.
The unruly boy in the country is not
receiving so much attention as iu the
city. He has fewer evil places of re
sort than his city brother, but enough
for his purposes if he is seeking them.
Yet on the whole, the boys of America,
in town or country, are wholesome
creatures. They could be improved if
their elders would give more time to
providing amusement for them in sur
roundings that are not vicious.

DO YOU NEED A
MEDICINE?
IT COSTS T0U NOTHING TO INVESTIGATE.
There is no one who does not need a
Liver Medicine occasionally.
The symptoms of Liver Complaint are
well known to every one, such as consti-
?ation, dyspepsia, loss of appetite, sleep
essness, headache, a tired feeling and
many others of a similar nature.
Thousands die annually by not heeding
the warnings of nature.
Many acquire some chronic disease
from which they never recover.
Many of these could be spared for years
of usefulness, by keeping in the home
some reliable remedy. .
We believe that we can convince any
fair-minded person that there is no bet
ter remedy for the Liver known, than
Dr. Tbacher's Liver and Blood Syrup.
The formula is known, consisting of:
Buchu, Hydrangea, Mandrake, Yellow
Dock, Dandelion, Sarsaparilla, Gentian,
Senna and Iodide of Potassium. You
know just what you are taking. How
many other formulas of a liver medicine
are published f Ask your druggist about
this. It is already prepared and can be
taken immediately.
The strength is extracted in the most
skillful manner, certainly superior to any
powdered preparation known. (We also
manufacture a Liver Medicine in pow
dered form, with which any druggist can
supply you, but this, like all other dry
Liver Medicines requires preparation. )
Dr. Thatcher's Liver and Blood Syrup
is pleasant to take, does not lose its
strength, a Liver Medicine in dry form,
and will keep in any climate.
Your doctor, however skillful, could
prescribe nothing better.
There is no opportunity for a doctor
to make a mistake in writing a prescrip
tion, or a drug clerk to make a mistake
in compounding the same, (besides a
doctor's bill nd the cost it the medi
cine.) you can be absolutely sure o the
proper proportioa being in every dose.
Dr. Tbarkcr's Liver and Blood Syrup
has been used with the greatest confi
dence and success in thousands of homes
for 52 years, and is prepared by a phar
macist of 25 years' exptyience, in a Iabo
ratotjt equipped with the most modern
appliances fW the most perfect safety.

a thoroughbred registered Berkshire boar,
liead what Mr. Chap Krlmmtnirer, certainly
one of the finest hog raisers of the county,
says about this boar: "I Killed four of
'Storm Klnx's' plus, of the Spring Hill Farm,
that were the finest I ever raised. Three of
these I killed at nine and a half months old
that welKhed . JI54 and pounds, respec
tively, and one at six months old that weighed
S.VI pounds. They were the easiest hoirs
fattened that I ever raised, and the best of
their age that I ever killed.''
