Ztchary Taylor reached here after amiraculoueseae from night riders at Reel root Lake, who munleied his partner, Capt. (Jneu tin Rankin, night before last. His own story of hia experience was told by him today aa follows: Monday liitrlit last Capt. Ran kin and I went to Reel Foot Lake in resHnse to a letter from a Mr. Carpenler of I nion t ity, who wanted to lease some tun 1st lands. Ou our arrival at the lake we went to tlio Log House, or Ward Hotel, ami early after supper retired. .Sometime during the night we were aroused by some one kuiH'klng at our door, and on opening the door a mob of masked men waa found standing in the hall. We were or dered tu dress, and aa the leader of the mob said he wauled to talk to us, w e put on our clothes and ac companied tlio men back to the buck of the lake some distance from the hotel. "The leader of the mob talketl w ith us, telling u we were assoei ating too much w ith Judge Harris, and were taking entirely too much interest iii the lake. He said (hat the course of Harris and the West Tennessee Land Company in pro hibiting free fishing was causing the starvation of women and chil dren, and that something had to lie done. "I never dreamed that the mob intended us any barm, but just then the mob threw a rope around Capt. Rankiu'a neck and swung him to a limb. He protested and said, 'Oeutlenien, do not kill me,' and the reply waa a volley of fifty shots. "This was the first evidence of any intention to harm us, and when the lirimr bctan I lumped into a havoii ami made for a sunken log. Behind this I hid and the mob fired several hundred shots into the log. Thev evidently believed I was lead, for I heard sonic of them say, He's dead and let him go,' and with that they rode away. I remained in the water until after the mob was out of hearing and went to an island in the lake, where I remained all day Tuesday. At night I started out and walked ill niuht, coming up to a house at ii o'clock this morning." Had Affair at Rocky Mount. R.-li Mount Krrnr.l int. Mrs. V. .1. Wells, disagreeing with her husband as to whether or not ihev should attend tho carnival at Wilson last night, a bride of three nveks, lies, as a result, in the Relief ll.ispital Bt South Rocky Mount in an unconscious condition. The woman was injured last night in leaving the ioldslwro train near the south yard while running at the rate of about twenty-live miles an hour. She caught the blow of the fall upon the front part of her head and tho left side of her fare, and it is believed that concussion of the brain has re sulted. After the fall her husband swung fnun the train and, while he was not seriously injured, suffered a severely skinned' face by the alight ing. A desire on tho part of Mr. Wells to attend the carnival in Wilson in comnanv with a party of friends, and the wish that his wife should not bo along was the causo of the trouble. It is known that he told her if she attended the carnival she would pay her own way and there is a witness who will testify that ho heard him tell her that "she should not go," and that if she did he would "push her olT the train and break her d nork." Whether or not ho did push her off the train is not known. How ever, ho left the train on the opposite side from her, after she had fallen or had been pushed off, whichever it might have been.

Mr. Manning said, iu part, that "Mr. Cox made his appeal to the young men iu the hoie of d. lading them into forget -fulness of the actual experience of the Republican party wheu in con trol of the State. He would not have his party'a record exposed by men who lived iu those day and whose memories are justly embit tered by their exerieiices; but he, aa all Republicans, would have those pages of xditical history blot ted out aud the memory of them forgotten. Cpou what grtiund does he anneal to the vonnir men of North Carolina, w ho have no mem ory of lMiS or ISiis! Iet me read it to you: 'And I (irmly believe il North Carolina would break away from the solid South anil cast her electoral vote for the great state man William H. Taft, it would bring millions of dollars hereto aid iu developing our untold resoiiri-es. liiismess mcu know .that dollars, like tieotile, need encouragement; they will go where there is an in ducemeiit, but they are not likely to stav where there is indifference; they w ill live where they see light ahead for profit; but if the senti ment of a community or state is hostile to them such community or State is not likely to grow rich.' "For this price, for this hope of reward, tin bnsiues man, Mr. Cox, makes the appeal to the young men of the State to surrender their political faith, to turn their politi cal coals aud ubandou thelH'ino cratic party. "When we recall to the youug men that there has never been an hour in this State's history during Republican rule when the State was at peace and the people proa perous and happy, there is eveiy incentive to put forth our best eti deavor to perpetuate the rule of Democracy ami forever preserve the political supremacy of thegreal Anulo Saxou race, aud conserve tho moral, educational and mate rial interests of this great people. "With tho Democratic party's splendid-achievements known to Mr. Cox, his appeal to the young mcu of North Carolina to quit the Democratic party and surreiidc their political faith and connections and turu to the Republican party, forgetting that party's record and blotting out the memory of its mis deeds, is a relleetion upon the in telligence and character of the young men in the State, who are the State's raw material of man hood. The Democratic party has its eyes on the young men of North Carolina, for it realiz.es that in a few years they are to coutrol this Slate in business as well as govern mental policies. What does Mr. Cox otter for this base surrender! lift Mr. Cox speak. 'It would bring millions of dollars here to aid in developing our untold resource,' Not even for a preseut considera tion. The young 'men of North Carolina, In this sale of their polit ical principle, are not to act with even the business sagacity of Judas Iw ariot, who made tho betrayal of our Savior a cash transaction, but these young men of North Carolina are to barter their xlitieai princi nlcs for the mere hope of reward the hope that some amiable and generous Republican capitalists from beyond the borders of the State will drop a few millions here for investment. Republicans can't net away from the idea that politi cal faith is the subject of barter and sale, a every article of mer clnindise! "'Husiues men know that dol lars. like people, need encourage ment.' The same Republican idea of the equality of a dollar with man; the similitude of man to Hollar. What kind of encouragement do these dollar of ltcpuhlican capl talists needf I it the encourage ment by tho grant of special privi IcL'es. bv special favorsi Is it al ways the supremacy of the dollar above the manf Oh, my friends, the price the young men arc asked to pay is tea) hii:h. the reward too uueenain. The mairuilieciit North taroluia txiyg will not barter their political principles and faith: they will not sell their jajlitlcal nianuooei; mey do not measure their political pnn ciples by the commercial standard of dollars, nor will they accept tins Republican standard of measure. They will not lower their high standard to the low conception of commercialism of the Republican candidate for Governor of this great State," Young man, vote for William J, lit y an and William Kitchin, men who have convictions and the conr- ago to express them, men who stand for something, men who have sown good seed and have raised in front of the most merciless army the world ever saw the commandment of Democracy, "Thou shall not steal."

It la an established fact that our roads are not going to improve un der the system we now have of keeping them up. I tqieak of the ridiculous and eriii ions system of warning out the retddenta of rural districts subject to road duty to work a certain number of days per year. A moment's thought will show that this is a most unjust re quiremeut, for the simple reasou that the public road are public property anil are used by jieople of all classes, trades and professions. The court houi-e is public property and is built and kept up by the public. The public setusils are public proHTty and are kept up by the public. The public roads are public pros-ity and are kept up by the farmer. Talk alsuit your lass legislation, that looks very- much like it to me. And I am glad it looks the same way to a w hole lot of other people iu this section. I think right now la-fore our next legislature meets is a giasl time to commence discussing this question and find out what we want. To my mind the proper and best thing to to is to issue tsinds for road build & . . . ing. In this wayilie future gene ration who would Is? getting the hcuclit of the good roads would tlo most of the paying. Another way is that funds to la-used exclusively for roads and bridges, should la raised by levying a special tax on property; ami require the paymeul of this tax without the option ol workinir it out. Iu that way we could do the road work w ith hired lalsir, and this lalair would iu a short t ime acq u i re ex perience w h ich would prove invaluable when coin pared with Ihe careless and inex perienced labor that is now used upou a great many or our public highways under this old ante hoi lull) system. Had roads are now costing the people of the South the biggest tax ever levied, yet many are so blind as uot to see it. I have liccii told that several good men came down from Mecklenburg county recently with a view to buying land and settling iu I nion, but w hen they saw the condition of our roads aud learned of our system of road work ing they turned their faces back to progressive Mecklenburg Hit county of gootl roads, whose fame known and spoken of all over the State. What one count v has done anoth er can do. If Mecklenburg can make good roads, I mon cau do tin same. So let s get busy. W. L. Hixk, R. F. D. 10. A Healthy Family.
