DISGRACE TO CIVILIZATION. Retribution swift and terrible was visited upon a negro murderer ami ravisher in Georgia last Sunday. Ten days before near Palmetto a white man named Alfred ('nuiford was mur dered sitting at the supper table with his little family by one Sam Holt (alias Hose), a negro staying about the neighborhood. This done he choked tin' wife down and added a crime still deeper and a thousand times worse than death itself which had just been inflicted upon the hus band. The negro made his escape and the alarm was given. The people for miles around were stirred to the depths ami moved as never before. Bodies of men scoured the country and blood bounds were brought into nse. For a time it "looked as if the negro had made good his escape when he was linally apprehended some dis tance away from the scene of his crimes from the minute description published in the Atlanta Constitution In the mean time rewards aggregat ing fl.ftV) had been ottered for his arrest. When taken into custody Holt con fessed bis name but denied any knowledge of the crimes committed. He did not want to accompany his captors back to the scene from which he had lied and seemed terror stricken when told that he had for diiys been hunted like a wild beast. On the way back he broke down and admitted having murdered Cranford, at the same time implicating a negro preacher named Lige Strickland, claiming that he had hired him to do the killing. Holt was taken to Newman and delivered to the sheriff of the county. As soon as it became known that the murderer-rapist had been caught a large crowd of outraged citizens soon collected, overpowered the sheriff, took the culprit away and lynched him, the details of which arc sick ening and revolting as full of savage cruelty and blood-thirsty liendishness as the most barbarous of uncivilized natures could devise and gloat over. First the victim was chained to a tree. Then his ears, lingers and toes were cut off and his body otherwise mutilated. A brush heap was piled around him, and kerosene oil was poured on him from head to foot. A match was then applied and half an hour later Holt was a charred corpse. Such was the spectacle presented in a civilized community, in the Kmpire State of the South, in the presence of 2,000 people. A more re volting spectacle has rarely cursed any community. That Sam Holt de served to die after his guilt was clearly established (and he was fully identified in addition to his own con fession) admits of no argument, nor indeed should there be any question as to the righteousness of his swift and summary takinr off, but the mere act of putting him to death should have been sutlicient. When the mob went beyond that they put themselves beyond the pale of even the ijuaisie sympathy of those who hold above all else the sacredness of female chastity and the protection of life. They added another chapter to the criminality and degradation of the State almost as black as that of the brutal and fiendish crimes com mitted by the negro. The Rocky Mount Argonaut reports a hog weighing 840 pounds, recently killed by John Sharpe, near that place. They have pretty bad country roads down in Anson county, evident ly. The Wadesboro Messenger is authority for the statement that a mule fell down in a big mud hole in one of the public roads a few davs ago and was drowned before it could be rescued. There has been more heavv hunt ing in the Philippines, and while American arms have been victorious in every contest our losses have not been small or inconsequential. Among others killed were two officers. Colonel Strolsenburg, First Nebraska Regiment, formerly of the Sixth Cav airy, and Lieut Sisson, of the same regiment. On, for a graded school in Hen derson. Says the Durham Ihrnhl: "There is no one institution that has given greater returns for the money invested than a graded school, and what is true in this town is true in many others. To a person familiar with the graded school and its benetits in Iurhani and other towns, it is surprising that people in places where there are no such institutions should show a lack of interest and enterprise in this direction." A cheap line cf white poods at H. THOMASOX'S. KEEP THE FACTS IN VIEW. Commenting on the lynching of the negro Sam Holt in Georgia last Sun day, the Atlanta Constitution says: The terrible expiation which Sam Holt was forced to pay for his crime will arouse a flood of discussion, car ried on by those who know the facts on the one side, and by those who do not care for the facts on the other. The people of the community con cerned, those who form its grand juries when in session and those who would have been on the petit juries as well, met on a peaceful Sunday afternoon and pronounced the sen tence wnich they proceeded to execute. Not all the power of ap peal of Judge Freeman nor the per sonality of former Governor Atkinson could swerve the people from their purpose. This was to be regretted, because the criminal had been de livered into the hands of the law; he could have been tried, convicted, sentenced and barged within thirty six hours. All of this was so certain that we feel that the people should have let the law take its course. But, while the form of this criminal- punishment cannot be upheld, let those who are disposed to criticise it look into the facts and by these facts temper the judgment they may render. An unassuming, industrious and hardworking farmer, after his day's toil, sat at his evening meal. Around him sat wife and children, happy in tho presence of the man who was fulfilling to them every duty imposed bv nature. At peace with the world, serving God, and loyal to humanity, they looked forward to the, -coming day. Noiselessly, the murderer, with uplifted ax, advanced from the reai, and sank it to the helve in the brain of the unsuspecting victim. Tearing the child from the mother's breast, he ilung it into the pool of blood oozing from its father's wound. Then beran the culmination which has dethroned the reason of the teo- x pie of Western Georgia during the past week. As critics win howl about the lvnchinf. the Constitution j will be pardoned for stating the plain facts. The wife was seized, choked. thrown upon the tloor, where her clothing soaked up the btoou ol her husband, and ravished! l.pmember the facts! Remember the dark night in the country home! Remember the slain husband, and above all, remember that shocking degradation which was inflicted by the oiacK beast, nis victim swimming in her husband's warm blood a the brute held her to the tloor! Keep the facts in mind! When the picture is painted of the ravisher in flames, iro back and view that darker picture of Mrs. Cranford outraged in the blood of her murdered husband! A kill has passed the Illinois legis lature prohibiting the use of the American flag for advertising pur poses. In Mexico the national flag is not allowed to be used or displayed in public for any purpose except on two special occasions during the year national fete days. The tri colors may be used but not the flag. in miniature or otherwise. The idea is that a too frequent display or com mon use of it tends to lessen rever enee and respect for the flag to destroy in a measure the . patriotic emotions which a sight of the na tionai' ensign should awaken. Tin; enemies of William Jennings Bryan are hard pressed when they re sort to down right lying and lying so palpable that sensible people can see through it and run down so eas ily in order to break the force of his arguments and weaken his popularity among the masses. As will be re called the report was sent out that among others White, the negro con gressman from North Carolina, was invited to the "dollar dinner" in New York. Later this was denied when in reality it needed no denial. The fact that White was a Republican, to say nothing of his being a negro, was sullicient denial in itself. Now, since the affair has taken place, the report goes out and we lind it published with apparent relish and great gusto that, "among the guests with whom Mr. Bryan sat down and dined were a large number of negroes." This is denied by the managers in charge but these same papers will not pub lish it we dare say. .1.

Not onlv are your pills reliable but Ramon's Relief and Nerve and Bone Oil are the most satisfactory remedies I ever handled, and if they were more generally used, thev would often make the Doctor's bill onlV 2.e. instead of $ 200.

Bertram & Willard had been induced to present their new play in Henderson with the aid ol local taient, there was a feeling of satisfaction by all who are interested in such mat ters. Previous engagements here established their reputation as capa ble and successful exploiters ol the best and purest in histrionic art and literature, clever and conscientious in their work, besides being very courteous and agreeable gentlemen; and when they promised in their latest effort, "The Midnight Fire," as great a success as "Captain Dick," the public knew what to expect. Nor were they disappointed. At Cooper Opera House last inurs- day and Friday evenings two very creditable and thoroughly enjoyable performances were given with the following cast of characters: Jack Clark, Mr. Brooks Parham Harold Malcolm, Mr. Lugene Bertram George Baker, Mr. S. P. Cooper Maior Blunt, Mr. liassett w utara John Merrell, Mr. Robert Powell Fritz Poppenheuner, Mr. B. b. Aronson Pat McPhin, Mr. Maurice O'Xeil The Stranger, Mr. Walter J. Powell Abe, Mr. Robert Laseiter Bobby Potts, Mr. Benj. Powell Helen Merrill, Miss Charlotte Young Jessie Clark, Miss Bessie Shaw Roxey, Mrs. J. H. I.ridgers Mrs. Jeremiah Potts, Miss Edna O'Neil Dinah, MrJohnHorton The Rube Road Whangdoodlers A de tail from the Fire Company. Where all did so well we should not particularize, and it is impossible to bestow praise upon each one in dividually as he or she deserves. The parts were evenly, balanced, the characters faithfully potrayed, the acting good all through. The play is a realistic comedy drama, pure in sentiment and moral in tone, and appeals to the noble and generous side of human nature rather than to the patriotic as does "Captain Dick." It gives opportunity for clever acting and this the "players" of last week took full advantage of. "Jack Clark," poor but honest lireman, proved him self to be a man possessed not only of character and a heart but brains as well, and the working out of the love story serves to bring in the eternal feminine, in the person of "Helen Merrell," and adds the necessary touch. Mr. Parham in the first named character and Miss Young in the lat ter, deepened the pleasant impres sions made by them on former occas ions. Mrs. Bridgers gave an excel lent impersonation of the bright, vivacious "Roxey," as did Miss Shaw that of "Jessie Clark," the true hearted sister and ideal friend, while Miss O'Neil as "Mrs. Jeremiah Fotts," in make-up and acting could not well have been improved upon. Mr. Aronson was a fine comedian and plaved the part of "Fritz Poppen- heimer" to perfection. Mr. Cooper did some good work in the character of "George Baker." and was as gener ous with his means as he was with his affections. Mr. Robert Powell essayed the role of "John Merrell" in a manner to make the most out of a difficult character, as did Mr. O'Neil in that of "Pat McPhin," the police man. Mr. Walter Powell as "Ihe Stranger," made a typical tramp and sustained his part well in this and the character in which he appeared afterwards. Benny Powell was the personification of the small boy who has a penchant for mischief, but with a heart in the right place and a head in which there was something else beside an inventive genius for playing pranks and scheming for all sorts of deviltry. Mr. Lassiter as "Abe, and Mr. Horton as "Dinah," the faithful and ever ready colored servants, were quite amusing and contributed their full share to the success of the plav and the enjoyment of the perform ance. Messrs. Bertram and Willard were ol course good. JLnat goes without saying. Altogether the performance was highly creditable and successful from an artistic point of view, and the young ladies and gentlemen as well as the authors themselves are to be congratulated upon its pleasing and enjoyable character. And to them a vote of thanks is due for the willing and unselhsh spirit shown- in con tributing to as worthy a cause as that of the Circulating Library. A very enjoyable featureof the enter tainment was the music, by Lehman s orchestra. The selections were good, the numbers beautifully rendered with spirit and finish. In musical culture as in other things Henderson is equal to any occasion and abreast of the times and towns of like size any where. And what is said above as to the cheerful and voluntary assistance rendered applies here also. Henderson hopes to have Messrs. Bertram & Willard with us again at some future time. His Life Was Saved. Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent eithten of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful diliverance from a frightful death. In tell ing of it lie says: "I was taken with Typhoid Fever, that ran into Pneumonia. My lungs became hardened. I was so weak I couldn't even sit up in lied. Nothing helped me. 1 expected to die soon of Con sumption, when I heard of Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle gave great relief. 1 continued to use it, and now am well and strong. I can't say too much in its praise." This marvelous remedy is the surest and quickest cure in the world for all Throat and Lung Trouble. Regular sizes 50 cents and $ 1.00. Trial bottles free at the Dorsey Drug Co's; every bottle guaranteed. Christian Endeavor Notes. The Corresponding Secretary being absent from the meeting held Sunday last I was asked to report the meet ing to the Gold Leaf. The Missionary Committee had the meeting in charge, and a letter was read from the Japanese girl whom this society has undertaken to edu cate. She expressed herself as being very grateful for the opportunity. Report was also made from the chapel finished by the Vance-Granville C. E. Union and a further call for funds was asked for each of these. The action of the Attorney General in his adjudication of the anti-canteen law was brought before the society and the President of the Society was asked to correspond with President McKinley, asking him as Commantler-in-Chief of the army to enforce the plain construction and intent of the law in the army until further adjudi cation might be had. We look for a report of the State Convention at our next meeting. Entjeayorer. The Best Prescription For Chills and fevers is a bottle of Grove's T&ate leas chill Tonic.

The right thing to do is to stop the newspaper man on' the street or any other place you may see him, and tell him you have been on a visit, have been entertaining friends, er anything that is in any way a mat ter of news. If you have done any thing mean keep that to yourself for he already knows that, for there are others whomake it their business to tell things of that kind.

On the 24th inst. the death Augelcame in our midst and removed from earth to glory sister Agnes Dickie, wife of brother Win. Dickie, aged 69 years. She was a Canadian by birth and of Scottish de sceut, und came to North Carolina some thirty years ago, locating within about eight miles of this place, where she lived till the time of her death. She united with New Bethel Baptist church of which she remained a consistent member till Jesus took her to himself. The end was sudden and unexpected, she having been bat slightly ill on the Crevious day and retiring at her usual our of bed-time. At 3 o'clock on the same night she talked with her husband, but spoke of nothiug unusual, yet only a few hours passed before the end came. In her death many lose a dear friend. She was a good neighbor, ever giving sympathy and lending kindly assistance in times of sickness and trouble. She was a devoted wife and an affectionate mother, and her radiant smiles carried joy and peace and sunshine to every heart in the home. She was a faithful Christian and loved her church, and it was not her will to be absent from any of its servicees. Oh, how we shall miss her! A husband, seven children, and a host of friends mourn their loss. But their loss is her gain, for those radiant smiles are but the brighter up there and that kindly service is but the more perfect in the splendor of Heaven's glory; while, with her head pillowed upon the Savior's breast, she finds the sweetest repose. "Sleep on, beloved, sleep, and take thy rest; Lay down thy head upon thy Savior's breast; We love thee well, but Jesus loves the best Goodnight! Goodnight! Goodnight!" U. n; Bray, Pastor.

Billings, represent ing the Globe Publishing Company, NewYork City, publishers of the Rid path" Library of Universal Litera ture. This is a superb work, in twenty-live magnificent volumes, and as its name implies it is a library within itselfv It embraces the world of literature, representing the master writers of all lands and all ages and their masterpeiees, condensed in one stupendous work. Edited by John Clark Rid path. A. M-, LL. D., most popular of recent historians, assisted by a corps of eminent scholars, spe cial writers and translators, the re sult is an achievement upon which the editor and publishers have cause for congratulation and a work in the possession of which any one may be counted extremely fortunate. It is gotten up in the best style of the priuters' and binders' art, is pro fusely illustrated with the highest class of engravings, and the price is reasonable as compared with its in trinsic value and similar works of the kind. But no sort of description can convey a correct idea of what the Ridpath Library is. It must be seen to be properly appreciated. In the person of Mr. Billings the work has a most capable and intelli gent representative. He is a very clever gentleman and makes friends for himself and his house wherever he goes. Several sets of the Univer sal Library were sold in Henderson and when these are seen and their character and merit understood and appreciated we may not doubt that there will be demand for others.
