particulars of the lynching
Of John Starling: Near Selma,
Johnston County, Satur
day Night Slay 24th
1890.
The following particulars of the
lynching were given by the Hon
John C Scarborough, who was in
Selma at the time:
Darin? John Starling's imprison
ment at Smithfield for the murder of
Mrs Aden Brown and her little grand
son last November, the neighborhood
believing him to be guilty beyond a
doubt it was reported to the neigh
bors several times that Starling was
making threats against any neigh
bor who had testified against him;
also a&rainst the man Batton, who
was the father of the mur.iered boy.
When it came out that Batton was
the heir from his son to the property
on which Mrs Brown lived, and for
which Starling was supposed to have
committed the murder, supposing
that his wife would become the own
er, the boy and Mrs Brown being out
of the way, Starling was reported to
have said several times that Batton
should never live at the place, To
the sumrise mortification and con
sternation of the neighborhood,Star
ling was acquitted. The neighbors
were in a state of uneasiness and
dread.
About four weeks ago, the house in
which Mrs Brown had lived, and
which was then occupied by Batton
was burned at night about 11 or 12
o'clock. This looked suspicious, and
remembering Starling's threats, Bat
ton and the neighborhood believed
that John Starling either burned it
himself or procured its burning. This
belief increased the feeling of dread
among the people of the community,
They were afraid to leave their hous
esorto risk their families without
protection.
Batton went to work to rebuild his
house and had put up a room by the
help of neighbors, to meet his neces-

He was nearly ready to move into
this house when reports of threats
were circulated through the neigh
borhood as from Starling, and his son
Aden, some 18 years old, that Batton
should never live ar. the place, and
that Starling and his son would see
to that.
Batton was afraid of these men and
on Saturday last,; late in the after
noon he went in search of Squire
Charles S Eirby. He found him in
Selma, swore out a peace warrant
against John Starling and his son
Aden Starling. The Constable went
to Starling's house and arrested him,
the son not being at home was not
found. Starling was taken before
Squire Kirby at Kirby's residence, a
distance from Starling's about 1
mile. Here the trial of this warrant
was conducted until about 11 o'clock
at night. The Squire suspended the
trial till Sunday morning at 10 o'clock
and put Starling in charge of two of
ficers deputized for the purpose, di
recting them to keep him safe and
have him present at that hour. He
gave Starling his choice of staying
all night with him or going home.
Starling chose to go home with his
wife who was with him at the trial.
He hitched his horse to the buggy
and with his wife and little Lioy start
ed home, the two special officers go
ing with him on foot.
When about half way home, Star
ling asked his wife "what is that out
yonder?" She replied she did not see
anything. He drove on some eight
or ten steps and1 a voice came from
his front ordering him to halt. A
crowd of disguised men rushed from
the woods on both sides of the buggy.
Some caught the horse, some the

ground,- his wife's hold on his arm
was broken, the little boy who had
been palled out of the buggy, was re
placed and they were ordered to
drive on and to go quick. The special
off.cers were ordered to get on quick;
the quicker the better for them. This
order was promptly obeyed. They
ran as rapidly as they could towards
Starling's house. Wben nearly there
they heard a number of guns fire.
Tbey stayed with Mrs Starling and
the children ail night. The special
officers blew a horn at different times
during the remainder of the night as
a signal of distress, but no one came
in answer Starling had no neigh ;
bors; no one liked him.
After day, Sunday morning, Mr W
H Blackman, one of the special ofll
cers, started to 'Squire Kirby's to let
him know what had taken place '
When about fifty yards from where
Starling had been taken from the
buggy, he found Starling's dead body
in the road with a piei-e f the rope
around his neck very tightly drawn
and the head and body riddled with
shot. Mr Blackman thought there
were from thirty to fifty men in the ,
crowd.
There was no clue to the psrpetra-
tors developed before the Coroner's
jury.
The son of SSIarling, (Aden,) was ar
rested at the Coroner's inquest on !
Sunday morning, under the warrant
issued for him and his father.

A Little Disappointment.
A friend of ours bent on agricultu
ral pursuits, and imbued with the
idea that truck farming would be a
paying investment, recently planted
one acre in muskmelons and canta
loupes (as he thought). He.took spe
cial pains in purchasing the best
seed the market affords and thought
with delight of the time when the
precious fruit could tempt his palate.
But a change has come over the
"spirit of his dreams," for the seed
have come up and proven to b cu- ourselves indeed unworthy of success
cumbers. He has changed his mind. , if we should betray or abuse that con
and will at no distant day invite his ' , ... .
friends to partake of "mixed pickles."

Murder Will Out
and so will low prices. It has only
been two days since", we commenced
selling our dress goods at cost and it
would seem that every one had been
only waiting for the announcement
to come. The people have been
duped and fooled so often by unscru
pulous advertisers that we hardly ex
pected so ready a response as the
ladies have given us in this an
nouncement and yet it ought not to
be surprising for we have never yet
made any statement) that we did not
carry out.to the letter. We have used
: every endeavor to gain the confidence
: of the people
and we should deem
fidence so liberally given us. We
have a large stock of nice dress goods
and while our trade in this line has
been as good as we could have expec
ted yet we have too much stock for
this advanced season, hence, we are
anxious to run it off and to do this
we are willing to sacrifice the profit
These are plain statements of facts
and if you desire to buy these goods
for less money than you ever bought
them, you can do so now. We want
to say one word to those who hope in
their hearts that we may fail, that
we shall always keep enough surplus
cash on hand to buy their stock at 50
cents on the dollar when they go
down. We have got the cash and a
plenty of it, at '
Swindell's.
There is in different sections of the
city a large number of evergreens
dying. An examination of 4-Arbor
Yitee's reveals the fact that they are
inhabited by snails and this is clearly
the cause of their dying. Examine
your evergreens and protect them
from these pests.
