Blockaders in the Toils. Young
Man Charged with Forgery.
Other News,
Greensboro, Aug. 17. —Deputy Mar
shal Bailey returned this morning
from Rockingham and Stokes counties
where he arrested three men charged
"With blockading. Two white men, one
in Stokes and one in Rockingham gave
bond for their appearance at the Oc
tober term of the Federal Court. An
old negro, about 65 years old, was
caught in the crotch of the North Caro
lina-Virginia State, and the Rocking
hame-Stokes county lines, his exact
residence being guessed as in Rocking
ham county. The old man was taken
to the Wentworth jail, being unable to
give bond. He had been in court num
bers of times for "working 1 ' at block
ade stills, but his case is none the less
pitiful, since he is dirt poor, has a
blind wife and five young children left
at home.
Mr. Virgil E. Holcomb, atorney of
- Mt. Airy, secured in the bankruptcy
court hero this morning an adjudica
tion in bankruptcy for Mr. M. D. Moore
dealer in millinery at Jit. Airy. The
assets are scheduled at $1,250 and the
liabilities at $2,450.
William Carson, the negro shot at
the double tracking camp near James
town last week by Charles Hairston,
died yesterday, and witnesses were
summoned to appear before Justice of
the Peace Collins today for an inves
tigation of the ease. Not having put
in their appearance at the hour of
twelve, the sheriff was sent to the
camp for the arrest of the witnesses,
but had not returned in time to have
the hearing today. Hairston, who did
the shooting and was caught in Whit
ney Saturday and is now in jail here,
is a big black fellow, over six feet
tall, and has the reputation of being a
bad man. Ho admits the shooting,
but says he shot in self defense.
Young Henry Fulton, who was
brought from Washington City yester
day and lodged in jail, was given a
preliminary hearing this afternoon on
a charge of larceny and forgery. The
larceny charge grows out of his having
entered the office of Dr. Charles Rober
son some time ago, abstracted some
bills from his book, collected the mon
ey and spent it. The forgery is in con
nection with a check for $25.50 which
he had cashed at a bank here. It is
purported to have been drawn by W.
W. Shaw of Durham on a Durham
bank, and the endorsement of the pay
ee and of the local manager of the
Southern Bell Telephone Company
here were forgeries. The young, fel
low admits his wrongdoing, saying he
never expected to do so any more, and
that he alone is to blame, as his pa
rents have tried to raise him right.

from a committee of citizens in
Brownsville , Texas, requesting that

NO PUNISHMENT LIKELY
i For South Carolina Lynchers as Public
; Sentiment is With the Mob.
; Columbia, S. C., Aug 18. —Governor
Heyward returned yesterday from the
: scene of the lynching of the negro
- Bob Davis near Greenwood, Thursday
, evening. When asked for a statement
> concerning the lynching the Governor
: said he had nothing to say further
- than that, after a conference with
Solicitor Cooper, of the Greenwood
: circuit, he had instructed that officer
! tc take immediate steps to prosecute
, the known members of the mob. As
> the sentiment among the best citizens
i of the county, as well as a good num
ber of negroes, is in sympathy with
, the action of the mob, it is hardly prob
able that the prosecutions will amount
to anything.
A negro school teacher of the neigh
borhood has written a card to the news
papers in which he endorses the lynch
ing of Davis.
The negro citizens of Greenwood
county yesterday issued the following
address in regard to the lynching of
Bob Davis:

It wasn't a Missouri editor but a
printer's devil who was going through
his first experience on "making up"
forms. The paper was late and the
boy got the galleys mixed. The first
part of the obituary notice of a citi
zen had been dumped in the forms
end the next 'handful of type came
off of a galley describing a recent
fire. It read like this: "The pall
bearers lowered the body to the grave
and as it was consigned to the flame
there were few if any regrets, for
the old wreck had been an eyesore
to the town for years. Of course
there was individual loss, but that
was fully covered by insurance." The
widow thinks the editor wrote the
obituary that way because the la
mented partner of her joys and sor
rows owed him five years subscrip

FARMER'S CROP IS FISH.
Mysterious Perch and Catfish in Sub
merged Deleware Fields.
Seaford, Del., Aug. 17. —On the farm
of W. L. Bell, a mile from Seaford
several of nis fields are submerged
with water to a depth of from one to
three feet and perch and catfish in
large numbers can be seen swimming
about. A colored farm hand caught
with a wash basin in less than an hour
a bushel of fish. The phenomenon can
not be explained. The farmers report
similar conditions.
The rain Sunday was the heaviest
ever recorded be-e —nearly four inch
es in less than three hours. The down
pour practically ruined all crops.
Farmers are discouraged and in many
instances will have to mortgage their
farms to tide them over. The peach
crop is less than a third of the average.

a] MEETING OF ALLIANCE.

1 Farmers' Meeting Closed at Hills
boro—New President—Resolutions
r Adopted.
Raleigh, Aug. 17.'—The twentieth
r annual session of the North Carolina
3 Farmers' Alliance closed last night
at Hillsboro, the session being the
' most successful and satisfactory in
a number of years. The financial
, r reports showed the finances in good
3 condition. A number of new sub
' alliances were reported as recently
' organized. Geo. F. Parrott, of Lenoir,
county, was elected president to
[ succeed W. A. Graham. J. A. McAl-
J lister, of Lumberton, was elected
" vice president. All other officers
r were re-elected.
. A resolution adopted endorses Gov
ernor R. B. Glenn and his efforts to
1 put down lynching and denounces the
spirit of mob law.
Another resolution calls on the
; Corporation Commission to refuse to
' make aby change in the minimum
car load in shipment of fertilizer,
" there being an effort on the part of
' railroads to secure a» change from
ten to twenty tons as minimum.
| This, the Alliance declares would be
' prejudicial to the farming interests.
, The jute bagging trust came in for
condemnation through a resolution
' calling on farmers to use any other
available covering for cotton because
of the 25 -per cent increase in the
price of jute.
Another resolution'calls on the next
legislature to appoint a committee of
distinguished educators to take under
consideration the whole matter of
secondary education, the unification
of the educational system of the
State, supplementary appropriations
to duplicate local taxation for high
schools and providing first class high
schools in which agriculture shall
be given primary consideration.
This legislative committee, the res
olution declares, should study the
conditions and report, drafting a
measure which will meet the condi
tions in this State, this to be pub
licly submitted in time for discus
sion in advance of the following
session of the legislature. Provision
is made also for a committee of three
from the Alliance to appear before
the proper legislative committee in
support of this legislation.
The frequent efforts to have funds
derived from the agricultural depart
ment fertilizer tonnage tax used for
the general support of the A. & M.
College was condemned by resolu
tion on the ground that the college
is a general State institution for the
education of manufacturers no less j
than for farmers and it would be un
just and inexcusable to require the
farmers to contribute to the general
support from this special tax which
they demand shall be kept for its
legitimate and original purposes of
promoting exclusively the interests
of the farmers from whom the tax
i 3 collected.
SWINDLES NEWPORT
Imposter Raises Money to Aid the
Sailors on U. S. Warship.
Newport, R. 1., Aug. 16. —The com
ing of the warships to Newport gave
some unknown person an idea to
make some money, and that he did so
is evident, although the full list of
those swindled cannot be ascertained.
This man posed as Lieutenant Town
send, of the Navy, and armed with a
subscription paper, on which were the
names of United States Senator G.
P. Wetmore and Rear-Admiral S. B.
Luce, both down for SSOO, he had no
trouble in securing money for what he
said was to furnish a building for the
sailors of the fleet to use while in
Newport.
The man must have made a pretty
thorough canvass, as word reached the
training station that a man posing as
Lieutenant Thomas was imposing upon
the people of Newport. Lieutenant S;
B. Thomas, who is attached to the
station, at once left for Newport and
ascertained that his name had not
been used. The man had used the
name of Townsend.
Lieutenant Thomas learned that the
man had secured quite a sum of money,
but discovering that his scheme had
been found out. he left for parts un
known. It was then learned that the
signatures of Senator Wetmore and
Admiral Luce were both forgeries, and
the matter was at once reported to the
police.

HEARST ENDORSED

Colorado Springe, Aug. 17. —What
for a time had the appearance of a
dangerous cloud over the proceedings
or the International Typographical
Unon convention, was dispelled by the
agreement among the delegates upon
compromise substitutes for a resolution
endorsing and commending Hearst.
The Hearst resolution commended
the New York Congressman for his
efforts and achievments in behalf of
organized labor. The compromise sub
stituted which is expected to pass
without a fight, commends all editors
who have exerted themselves in be
half of union labor making incidental
mention of the fight conducted by
Hearst with scientific mention of the
Los Angeles, California, field. The re
port of the committee on politics
which recommends that printers join
with all other branches of organized
labor in supporting the men and polit
ical organizations that have manifest
ed friendship for the labor and favor
able attitude toward legislation that
j it asks, was received by the delegates
with enthusiasm. .
NO BRIDGE ACROSS SOUND.
The Edenton People Prevent the Nor
folk and Southern From Building
Big Bridge.
New Bern, Aug. 16. —The Edenton
people have succeeded in preventing
the Norfolk and Southern R. R. from
building the great bridge over Albe
marle Sound at Mackey's Ferry. This
bridge was to have been fully six miles
long—an engineering feat of stupen
dous magnitude. The objections of- I
fered by the people are based upon the
supposed injury to the fish industry I
which would have followed the driving I
of piles and the placing of abutments I
in the sound.
The N. & S. will at once seek to se
cure another site for their high build
ing project.
The A. C. L. passenger engine broke
down four miles this side of Wilming

here shortly after 5 o'clock did not
reach here until 11:45. The travelingl

about the service between here and j
Wilmington. Only engiheg of the most I

JUMPED To HIS DEATK
✓
I Young Man of Wilmington Jumps
From Train, is Caught Under it
and Horribly Mangled.
Wilmington. August 17. —Wednesday
night while attempting to jump from
a train on the Atlantic Coast Line
near his home on Tenth Street, Alex
Miller, a young white man, about 18
years of age, was thrown underneath
the moving train and his body was
horribly mangled.. There.were three or
four large excursions in the city Wed
nesday and it is a custom of a num
ber of young men to go down to the
station to see them off and it is pre
sumed that young Miller stayed on
one of the excursion trains thinking
that he would leap off when it reached
Tenth street crossing. It is not known
whether he struck an obstruction
when he leaped which threw him un
der the cars, or whether his feet were
caught in some way and he was thus
caught in the wheels.
Young Miller has for some time
past been in the employ of the Coast
Line in the office of the auditor of
freight receipts, and Wednesday night
when the news was received at the
office quite a number of desk mates
went out to view the body. No one on
the train was aware of the accident
and the train went on its way and the
body was not found until some little
time after. His parents were imme
diately notified of the horrible death
of their son and they have the heart
felt sympathy of the entire communi
ty in their loss.
