JAIL DELIVERY.
( Five Prisoner Seized Hie Jailor and
put Him in a Cell and Escape.
On Tuesday a young man by the name
of Russell, employed by Jailor Moore,
entered the sherfif office about 3 o'clock
and asked Deputy Sheriff Taylor for the
keys to the jail, as Jailor Moire was ab
sent in the country serving some papers.
As Mr.Taylor handed Russell the keys he
remaked, '"Look out now and be partic
ular," and the response came "all right."
When Russell entered the jail it seems
he left everything open behind him. The
prisoners were in the corridor and he
made them all get in the cells where he
gave them something to eat. It seems
he did not understand the combination
locks and failed to fasten them. When
he started out one of the prisoners called
to him to come and get some pans, and on
reaching the cell Rassell was seized and
thrust in a cell and fastened up, his
mouth covered so he could not make an
out cry and 5 prisoners who had been
convicted of larceny and sentenced at the
last t-m of the court to the work house,
made good there escape. They were all
colored and are : Roger Yancy, Daniel
Pollock, Jim Green, Robert Parham, Dick
Jeffreys There were 9 in jail; the other
4 did not attempt to escape. Those
around the jail did not detect any unusual
noise and as soon a3 the prisoners got
outside they made for the. eastern part of
town and made good their escape.
Messrs. Nat Whitfield and F. A. Cheek,
as soon as they could get horses put out
on horseback after them , but to jio suc
cess, as the b:ys were miking rapicftracks
for Vance when last seen, barefooted and
bare headed, so some remarked.
We consider this a careless piece of
business to trust the keys o? the jail to a
young boy who is not accustomed to
dealing with prisoners, the result of Tues
day fully attest. It will be seen from
the following that the law holds the
sheriff alone responsible in case the pris
oners e3cape through, negligence on the
part of his subordinates :
Sec. 1022. When any person charged
with a crime or misdemeanor,or sentenced
by the court upon conviction of any
offence, shall be legally committed to
any sheriff, constable or jailer, or shall be
arrested by any sheriff, deputy sheriff or
coroner acting as sheriff, by virtue of any
capiasissuing on a bill of indictment,infor
mation, or other criminal proceedings, and
such sheriff, deputy sheriff coroner, con
stable or jailer, wilfully or negligently,
shall suffer such person, so charged, or
sentenced and committed, to escape out
of his custody, the sheriff, deputy sheriff,
conorner, constable or jailer so offending,
being thereof convicted, shall be removed
from office, and fined at the discretion of
the court before whom the trial may be had
and In all such cases it shall be sufficient,
in support of the indictment against such
sheriff or other officer, to prove that such
person so charged or sentenced was com
mitted to his custody, and it shall lie
upon the defendant to show that such
escape was not by his consent or negli
gence, but that he had used all legal
means to prevent the same, and acted
with proper care and diligence : Provid
ed, that such removal of a sheriff shall
not affect his duty or power as a collector
of the public revenue, but he shall pro
ceed on such duty and be accountable, as
if such conviction and removal had not
been had.

SPRCIAL TIIASKSGIVIXti SERVICE
Splendid Sermon by Rev. Joseph Ren
nie and Remarks by Several
other Gentlemen.
It was our pleasure to attend the spe
cial Thanksgiving service by previous
announcement, held at the Opera House
at 3 o'clock Sunday conducted by that
earnest christian minister, Rev. Joseph
Rennie. This Thanksgiving service was
not in any sense of a sectarian character,
but was a meeting intended for all de
nominations to give thanks for the grand
work accomplished for Christ at the late
glorious revival held in Oxford conduct
ed by Evangelist Fife.
The opening prayer was made by Rev
T. U Faucette. After singing the choi'
under the leadership of Dr. Wj'ohe with
Mrs. Currin at the organ, the congrega
tion united in reading passages of scrip
ture. This was followed by appropriate
remarks from Rev. R. F. Bumpass. He
spoke of the christian unity that had pre
vailed during the Fife meeting. That
while it was going on it was impossible to
draw the line between the denominations.
This was cause of great gratitude to God
Then followed a prayer by Mr. A. W.
Graham.
Rev. Joseph Rennie then discussed the
duty of Thanksgiving. He said it was
God-like to be thankful, devil-like robe
ungrateful that there was special reasons
why the christian people of Oxford should
be thankful at this time. 1st. For the
gift of Jesus Christ as their Savior. 2d.
Because God has Droved to the christian
people of Oxford that there is happiness
to be found in the religion of Jesus Christ
and in working for him. 3rd. That God
has indicated the power of His Spirit to
convince the world of sin, of righteous
ness and of judgment to come. 4th. That
God in his mere' has not passed us by
but has saved many from death for whom
he had prayed and whom he loved .
These remarks having been followed
by singing the meeting was opened for a
general expression ot thanks, thereupon
many responses camef orth from thanksf ul
hearts. Such a scene was a novelty in
Oxford, and showed that a spiritual sen
timent aud brotherly unity was present
among old and new christians. Denomi
national lines seemed to have . been for
gotten in the spirit of thankfulness ani
mating every chistian heart present.
A S.Lanier, J .T.Strayhorn, J. V. Rice, J
M. Currin, John W- Hays, Sr., Dr. S. D.
Booth, A. W". Graham. A. A. Hicks, Col.
J. S. Amis and Mrs. Bobbitt made earnest
talks that betoken an interest in the ser
vices and tbe growth of religion. Some
of these talks were particularly edifying.
Mr. J, C. Hundley suggested that a
committee of 3 representing different de
nominations be appointed to arrange for
similar Union Services to be held once
every month, the time and place to be ar
ranged by said committee. This Union
Meeting was a glorious one and was the
outcome of the Fife meeting.
Immediately after the services a meet
ing was held to organize a Young Men's
Christian Association, and the following
officers were elected: J. M. Currin, pres.
ident; J. C. Hundley, first vice-president
Dr. J. E. Wyche, second vice president
F. C. Anderson, secretary; S. W. Cooper
treasurer. The Association starts off
with a membership of over one hundred
Notice to County Officers.
Section 119. Chapter 218, Laws of 1889,
reads as follows :
Skc. 119. In each county the Treas
urer shall give notice to all the county
officers (except the Sheriff) authorized to
receive or disburse the county funds to
appear at the Court House on a certain
day during the first ten days in January,
before him and the committee appointed
bv the Board of Commissioners and
present an account of all sums received
or disbursed for the county, with their
u
vouchers, and any officer failing to attend
and account shall be guilty of a misde
meanor. The accounts, when audited,
shall be reported to the Board of Com
missioners at their next meeting, and if
approved shall be filed with the clerk
and recorded in the proceedings, together
with their approval, and shall be deemed
prima facie correct.
As required by the above law, notice is
hereby given to all county officers to ap

NORTH CAROLINA.
WHAT
HAS TAKEN PLACE WITHIN
HER BORDERS.
A General Epitome of Reeent Occur
rences Around and About Us, From
the Mountains to the Sea, as Culled
from our State Papers.
Mr. Jethro Howell, of Fork township,
Wayne county, from four acres has gath
ered 2,057 pounds of lint cotton.
There is no truth in the report that Rev.
J. T. Abernethy is dead who was shot at
Snow Hill by Grimsley. He is doing well
and expects to be out in a few days.
Winfield Davis, the young man who
killed his playmate at Jamestown, was
acquitted in Greensboro upon the evi
dence that the killing was purely acci
dental. At Pantego, Beaufort county. 33 bears
have been trapped and shot by the hun
ters during the present season within a
area of six miles. Still others were
wounded but escaped.
There is nothing small about Geo. Van
derbilt in his ideas of house building.
His little place in North Carolina will
take ten years time to complete it, and a
round million dollars a year will be put
into the work .
The coal mine at Egypt, Chatham uo.,
caught fire Monday from the discharge
of a blast. The miners escaped but four
mules in the shaft were burned to death,
and a lot of cars and curbing in the mines
were destroyed.
A Charlotte special says : A small negro
in picking cotton on Mrs. Hill's place,
near Pineville found a lump of gold. He
was offered $5 for it, which he accepted,
aid the lump was assayed in this city and
amounted to $24.75.
Commenting on the address to the
Democrats, the Statesville Landmark says
It was drafted in the true spirit of com
promise and the Democrat who cannot
stand by it is no Democrat at all. That pa
per says it would be willing to accept it
as the party platform next year and go to
battle on it.
On the 23d the first marriage ever cel
ebrated in the Rocky River Presbyterian
church in Cabarrus county, will take
place, the Standard states. The church
has been built since 1850. The marriage
will be that of Dr. J. C. Black, a rising
young physician of the county, to Miss
Emma Black, also of Cabarrus.
The constitution of North Carolina re
quires the public schools to be kept open
at least 4 months per annum. If the tax
is not sufficient to do this the Mocksville
Time thinks it should be supplemented
in every neighborhood by private sub
scription. Surely the patrons of every
school can add enough to have a school
at least four months.
Cards are ut for the marriage at Free
port, 111-, of Mr. Neeiham D. Cobb, of
Raleigh, stenographer to General Mana
ger Winder, of the Seaboard Air-Line,
and Miss Dollie Atkins, of Freeport. Miss
Atkins is a grand daughter of the late
Governor David L. Swain, who for so
many years was president of the State
University, Chapel Hill.
A special from Williamston, N. C,
says the conflagration there recently,
which swept away the postoffice ard a
large part of the town, was undoubtedly I
incendiary. An unsuccessful attempt!
was made on Saturday night to burn the
post' ffiee. The special states that bus!
ness in the town is entirely demoralized
All the principal business houses in the
town were destroyed.
The Gold Leaf learns of accident near
Townesville Tuesday morning which re
suited in the death of one person and the
serious injury of another. Two colored
women Ellen Bullock and Fanny Har
grove living at Major Sneed's were riding
in a buggy when the horse became frigh
tened and ran away. They were both
thrown from the vehicle and Ellen Bui
lock was killed and the other seriously
hurt.
Crime just now is rife in the State.
The case of Dr. Stone in Chatham, who
poisoned a man named Weathers and has
now eloped with his beautiful daughter ;
the Abernathy-Grimsley case in Greene
county; and the case of the Uaptlst
preacher m Wilkes who is In jail for de
serting his own family and eloping with
another man's wife all these show that
the devil is still at large and getting In
his fine work. Devil Is spelled with a
large D these days.
Not many people know that in Samp
son county, on the lands of L. W.Hodges,
there is a cave of large size, covering 100
acres, it is near tne neaawaters or tne
Northeast river. Its floor Is of sand and
Its roof of sandstone about 8 feet in thick
ness, on this being some 10 feet of earth.
A bold spring, with water sufficient to
run a turbine wheel, pours in ' the cave.
A company is expending $2,500 in the
improvement of the cave, so that persons
can ride or drive Into it. The locality is
5 miles from Warsaw.
