Harris was tried before Juge Shaw three months ago 011 a iiiiiii her of serious charges. and admitted his guilt in every case. Juge Shaw commented on the dcsierate char acter of the negro, and gave him the limit of the law, by sentencing him to the penitentiary for .'M years. FT I.I. W MtMMI. When Harris was taken to Ihe iM'iiileutiaiy by the .Meclkenhurg Hirers, they lot I the pciiitciiti.it otlicials what I hey ulieady knew that Harris was a dangerous, clever negro, and would require constant watching. . When Harris escajed no one here knows, but iu home way he managed to elude the vigilance of the ollicers, and came back lo lc Ha. Monday night, at o'clock, he ippeared at Hie hoiiie of Cal llous Ion, colored, who lives oil Mr. KoU'i-t Mason's plav, near Herita, and asked to see I'earl, the daugh ter of Cal Houston, the woman i I li whom he had formerly lived, and who had borne him two chil dren. This woman had married, two mouths ago, Sam lim y, uud lluey was in the house asleep at the lime Harris arrived. The mother of the young negro woman w as greatly alarmed bv the apear- mice of Harris, and did us he di rected awoke her daughter uud told her that Harris w ished to see her out side the house. TIIK nlliHiTISii.

The public here w ant to know, hod thinks it has a right to know, hy the M iiiteiitiary otlieals, know ing full well Ihe ehar.icter of Harris, failetl to notify the slier ill of this county that Harris had ecaied. Citieusof Ih-rita came to towii ycflcrday and asked this iilestiou. They wished to know why Ihe officials hadn't the common deivni'v lo semi out a note of warn ing. Everybody knows that Harris has a habit of burning barns mid burglarizing houses ami shooting men from ambush. , What alsjul the criminal folly of permitting such a man to suddenly appear iu a ucighliorhoiHl and Icr rori.e women anil children so that they cannot slts-p! These questions were asked yes terday by every other man that one talkctl to, ami I lit- town and county joined in oh-ii condemna tion of the action of the pciiitcutary officials. WAITIMi! Harris has disappeared tempor arily, but (H-ople who are not ularmists coiilitlciitly expected him to commit another crime very soon. He knows the country thoroughly, and has a dozen hiding places; is liked by negroes w ho will aid him. ami feared by uegroes who will lie almlll his w he re ulsiuts. He has threatened the lives of several hs- ple, ami his career is too well established for one to doubt that he w ill endeaver to make his threats good at Ihe first opHirluuity. Slierill allure ami his ollicers and the Charlotte police discussed Harris ami only Harris yesterday. They are ready for immediate act 101., but they must await another signal must wait till Harris up- pears to commit another crime. AN AliMKII MlllilllllllilllMIII. Citizens of Derita met yesterday lor the purpose of I'm inulal ing some plan of action, but beyond 1111 ex pressed determination thai every man must keep a watch on his own premises, nothing detinile was de cided upon. Harris is a 8lipM-ry, active man, and he may now be many miles from where he made his attack Monday night. 'Squire John P. Hunter, of rila, caiiio to tow n yesterday uud purchased a revolver. He told the the police that he proposed to carry it, and (hat his neighbors also would go armed. The decision was endorsed. "A good many of us have had guns for Harris for a long time, but 1 reckon a man needs something to carry around with him now. I have laitl out in the woods for Harris many a night, ami I cxHvt to do that again. None of us waul to capture him. He will Is' shot on sight." ltt:iTTVrtu OK IIAHKIS. The menace of Harris' presence in a community cannot U' exagger ated, lie is u young negro, w ith a pleasant face, but he has 110 moral sense at all, and has the same stealthy spin! of revenge its the primitive North American In ilian. lu a few years he has shot several men in this county. He stole from SiuireJ. P. Hunter, and was sent to the chain gang. He escais'U ami was captured by 'Squire Hunt er. He escaped again, and one nighl went to 'Squire Hunter's house ami shot at the magistrate four times, one bullet penetrating the thigh, lie was scut to the chain gang, mid escaped again. He shot .lis? Dotld, who had done him an alleged injury, lhsld recovered. Fur small pi o vocal inn he shot Charles Cochrane, ami oor aim only prevented forhraiie's injury hum being ratal. au i.rillin 11 11 tier took to tell the officers of the law where Harris was, and Harris Isired large holes through a house with an Eulicld rille in his ellorts to hit (initio, who was lying Hat 011 the Ibsir. Will Harris became angry w ith 'Squire Johu (iraliam Alexander, and burned Alexander's barn. He burglarized the house of Mr. K. M. Collcy, in Steel Creek. He burned W. 6. Coehrantii store.
