THE PRES VISITOR. NUMBER 8541 K A LEIGH, N. C. THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 7. 1898 $4.00 PER YEAR ACCUSED OF LIBEL A Warrant Serrcd oa EcL tor Rams y A CRIMINAL ACTION Ri Judge W, R Allen Accuses the Editor of the regressive Farmer of I'nlawfol Wilful and Malleioaa Libel la That Paper. Rev. Joyful Laughter Ramsey haa again assumed his ante-ple-day name and his friends must again address him as Jeremiah Lamentation Ram sey. Mr. J. L. Ramsey, editor of the Pro gresslve Farmer, Is now In the custo dy of the sheriff of Wake county, at least the sheriff Is responsible for his appearance at Goldsboro this after noon where the noted editor and politi cian is defendant in a criminal action. This morning a deputy sheriff was seeking high and low for Dr. Rameey. He could not be feu'nd at hla desk in the commissioner of agriculture's ef flce. In the editorial reams ef tk Pro gressive Farmer or In aay ef ala usual haunts. However, later In the day he returned to his office In the agricultur al building and a deputy sheriff found him there and served the war rant on him. The warrant was sworn out before a Justice of the peace in Goldsboro by ex-Judge William R. Al len of Golosboro. Judge Allen sets forth that Ramsey Is editor of the Pro gressive Farmer and that this paper on April 5th, In an editorial, stated that the so-called oyster claims were a fraud and that the attorneys who rep resented the claimants were parties to the crime. Judge Allen, an attorney In these oyster cases. Is called by name In the editorial. Mr. Ramsey told the deputy that he would go to Goldsboro this afternoon and, his promise so to do was regarded as sufficient, so he will not be ac companied by an officer. Dr. Ramsey's absence this morning from his "ual haunts has been sat isfactorily' expallned. The Doctor is one of the Judges at an oratorical contest at Elon college tomorrow night and It Is not Improbable that he was In the woods today practicing his speeech of presentation for the above o caslon. Dr. Ramsey denies that he telegraph ed to Eon, "I am under arrest and cannot come." Judge Allen brought criminal not civil action against the secretary of the agricultural department and the Justice of the Peace will probably place Dr. Ramsey under a bond for his np pearance at the next term of the criminal court In Wayne county. It Is whispered that Mr. J. W. P. n mark, clerk In State Treasurer Worth's office, was the Instigator If nut t!ie au thor of the editorial In the Progressive Farmer which Rot the dlstlngui l editor In hot water. SUPPORTS RUSSELL. The Caucasian Comes to the He: cue of the Governor. The Caucasian says editorially: The Caucasian has not agreed with Governor Russell as to the wisdom of his recent position with regard to the lease fight, but we wish to state that we believe he Is acting from honest and conscientious motives, and therefore do not endorse or have any sympathy or tolerance with some of the false statements and malicious misrepresen tations made against him by certain newspapers. Some of these papers wo are not surprised at because they have long since shown that they have little or no regard for the truth. But we must confess that we are greatly sur prised at an editorial In the Biblical Recorder which not only misstates facts but grossly and what seems to us unwarrantedly misrepresents and abuses the Governor. We have not the time or space in this Issue to reply to its very unjust attack but In the in terest of truth and Justice will do so in our next Issue. EARLY DESERTERS. Seven Men From the Puritan Take French Leave. Monday, seven men from the United States monitor Puritan that was lylnsr In Charleston harbor deserted. Char lotte News. After the sailors escaped they dis carded their uniforms and put citizens clothes on. Despite the efforts of the police at Charleston, who were notified of the escape as soon as it was dis covered, and at once set to work to trace the men, the deserters succeeded In getting aboard the north bound At lantic Coast Line train, and were speeding away towards Washington. The wires became hot with mesages to the various points along the route to arrest the men. It was learned that they had Teaehed Wilson, N. C, and then the officers set to work, and when the train had reached Rocky Mount, two of the deserters were captured. .They were turned over to an officer, from Norfolk who carried them to that city where they will be dealt with. The other five escaped, . though it could not be learned how. It was not ascertained whether or not they were with the two - who were captured, though It U thought they proceeded northward on the Atlantis Coast Line, and probably reached Washington. laying bands on other people's, chick ens, was arraigned before the Mayor one more for this effenee r jnd sent oa to eeurt " MR. FORD TAYLOR DEAD. He Passed Away Unexpectedly This Morning at 8:45 O'clock. The whole community was shocked this morning at the news which was passed from Hp to Hp that Mr. W. F. Taylor, familiarly known among his many friends as "Ford" Taylor, had died at his home on Cabarrus street at 8:45 o'clock a. m. Yesterday afternoon at the office of Bar bee & Co., for whom he had for 1! years been book-keeper, he was taken sick and went home very 111. A physician was summoned, and last night his condition was thought not to be serious. This morning, however, at I o'clock there was a change for the worse, and he passed quietly away at the hour as above stated of heart fail ure. He died quietly and without a struggle. Mr. Taylor was of delicate consti tution, but bo full of will, energy and nerve that those nearest to him least suspected his frail physical Infirmity of body. He did not know what it was to flinch from pain, and lie died as he liv ed, with that calm manhood which meets the tragedy of death as it does the untold and hidden trials of life. Those who knew him, knew him but to respect and admire his traits of sin cerity, courage and noble manhood. He was brave and true to his friends and for his enemies he had never a word but that Justice which comes from the esesty ef the heart. The most strik ing eharacterlstlo ,of his nature and life was his freedom from duplicity. He never knew how to find It in his heart to deceive and his fidelity and loyalty to his friends was such as to weld their friendship to him in a bond that nothing could sever. As a busi ness man he was efficient, faithful and Industrious, and few men in similar capacity have ever enjoyed to so great a degree the absolute confidence of Ills business associates. He was a loving father and husband and his death has cast an untimely pall of gloom over a stricken household. He leaves a wife and two children. Miss Margie Lon'se Taylor and Edwin Taylor; also two brothers, E. B. Taylor and Richard Taylor, and two sisters, Mrs. J. E GUI and Mrs. Iowa Parish. Mr. Taylor was forty three years of age and had for the past fifteen years been In the continuous employ of Bar bee & Co., as their head book-keeper. His sudden taklng-away brings sadness to many hearts who knew him and who prized his friendship. A peculiarly noticeable fact about his association with those who came In contact with him In business was that all his comrades in the office in which he worked were most fond of him. He held the esteem and confi dence of every man who worked in the same employ with him. and there was not one who knew him personally and Intimately, who was not his warm and staunch friend. The funeral announcement will be made In the Morning Tost. CIIir.D SHOT BY ACOiriEXT. Negro Boy Shot and Killed Ills First Cousin in Jonesboro Last Nijjht.

The Withdrawal of the Spanish Flag From Cuba Alone can Avert It. The Washington Post this morning says: "The President's message has only been changed in that It will ask Con gress to authorize and direct imme diate intervention. Otherwise the mes sage will stand as heretofore outlined, and. as the Post stated on Tuesday morning, it will be of such a vigorous, ringing character as to meet the full expectations of Congress and the coun try. It will inevitably mean war. Hos tilities can only be averted by Spain herself declaring the Independence of Cuba and yielding he; sovereignty over the island. "The President's message will be transmitted to Congress next Monday. Only one event can happen in the mean time that will cause a change of pro gramme, and should that event occur all the United States will applaud and th world will ectio the universal pr se. "If between now and Monday the Spanish flag should be withdrawn from Cuba, and complete and absolute independence be granted to residents of the Island if, in short, every ves tige of Spanish sovereignty shall dis appear from the war-ridden, depopu lated, and ill-tarred island the Presi dent will have no occasion to send to Congress the message which he has prepared. Great pressure Is, of course, being brought to bear upon Spain to acquiesce in this happy solution of the Cuban problem. If Spain yields there will be no Intervention by the United States. If she does not yield, as will probably be the case, the President will ask Congress to act, and will ex pect a prompt response." PROTRACTED SERVICES. Two series of special meeting are now in progress in this city, one ill the Central Methodist church and one in the First Baptist church. The pastor, Rev. E. C. Glenn, is con ducting the services in the Central church and much interest is being manifested. At the Firs! Baptist church Rev. A. C. Barron, of Charlotte, is preach ing with great power.

Tennessee's Anti-Flirting Statute Fail ed to Bring Expected Punishment. Knoxville, April 8. Tennessee's anti- fiirting law, known far and wide as the Johnny law," was .made Innocuous here today by circumstances over which law was no control. Some time since the first arrest under the statute was made, and I lie event was liberally commented on all over the country. Several states legislatures endeavor ed, In imitation of Tennessee, to pass a law similar to our "Johnny law," for the benefit of the school girls. The young man arrested was named Lin Chamberlain, and the warrant was sworn out by the father of Maggie Alderson. The grand Jury took the case under advisement, and found a true bill against Chamberlain. The trial was eagerly awaited by brilliant legal talent, thosej engaged by Cham berlain averring tlit the right to flirt was inherent and cdrire be abridged by iii statute. Yesterday Lin and lifaggie hied themselves to a Justice of the peace and had the marital knot secure ly tied. No doubt the indictment will be quashed. The "Johnnv law" must find another victim. PASSOVER FESTIVAL. The Pasach or Passover began at sunset yesterday afternoon. This fee tival is commemorative of that great est epoch in the history of the Jews when the Lord commanded the Angel of Death to pass over the houses of the Israelites and to smite the first born in every Egyptian home. This was the tenth and last of the Egyptian plagues, and only after this devastating curse was plainly manifested did the stub born heart of Paraoh yield and ths Jews were allow ed to depart. In their hurry to leave Egypt on time was al lowed to bake their bread, and the partially prepared dough was taken and afterward baked In the sun, and it is because of this fact that the Jews eat Matzos or unleaven bread. For seven days the Jews abstain from eat ing other than the Passover cakes or crackers. The feast continues for seven days. during which period only unleaven bread is eaten and prayers of thank fulness are daily uttered. This Is one of the most interesting and inspiring of all Jewish festivals and its obser vance needs to be witnessed to be Justly appreciated. An applcation was received at the Adjutant General'B Department yester day for the formation of a new military company in the State. Dozens of appli- " cations' have been received recently from all parts of the State for the for mation of new military companies. None of the applications can be ac- cepted, as the State Guard is now With in the limit to the number of companies allowed. ; . ' - The 1 Governor's Guard augmented their membership last night to Sg, which -is within two of the limit allowed dur ing peace. There are applications for these two vacancies, and it Is likely that a full enrollment of 60 men will b had at the nest meeting. , Chapel Hill. N.
