SALISBURY WEEKLY SUN. PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY. JOE X. ROUECHE. I CLINT. N. BROWN, f Proprietors. PENITENTIARY INVESTKiA TION DISCLOSES CRIME AND FRAUD. The .penitentiary investigating committee which has been exam ining into the management of the State penitentiary farms for some" time tind that much brutal con- t duct lias been carried on at the -Northaiiipton farm. Governor Russell has been constrained to call upon Capt. W. H. Day, super intendent of the penitentiary, for the discharge of Lewis Summered. the unfeeling supervisor of that farm, on account of the cruelty shown by him. The conduct of the farm has been reeking with erihie and it was found that one convict was whipped to death. Such barbarous treatment of pris oners was scarcely ever brought to light North Carolina. In addition to this, the Raleigh correspondent of fthe Charlotte Observer, says, 'lt is said that 'great frauds have been perpetrated at some ofthe penitentiary farms in the matted sales of crops, weigh ing of cotton, etc., and the reve lations will equal in point of sen sation those regarding cruelty to convicts." The people of the State have certainly never wit nessed such baseness-before on the State farm. These kind of deeds .are a disgrace to' the State. No wonder that the penitentiary, of btte, has not been self-sustaining. It is fair to note that all of this occurred under fusion rule. Will the citizens ever wish to see that crowd in charge of the State's af fairs again ( We should guess not soon. The answer should be no, indeed. A new series of notes will be issued by the Treasury Depart ment, and Secretary Gage thinks they will simplify the currency. There will be only eight designs for greenbacks, treasury notes and silver certificates, instead of 24 as at present. Miss Ethel Sigsbee, daughter of Captain and Mrs. Charles D. Sigsbee, one of last season's most attractive debutants, will take a NEWS OF THE WEEK. MONDAY. The London Statist predicts an era of greater prosperity in the United States.

The Postal Telegraph Com pany has wired the towns of Greensboro, Salisbury, Concord and Charlotte, and will soon open offices in those live towns. It has comparatively few offices in the State, and the extension is cause for congratulation. It is to be hoped that its business will grow until it honeycombs tjie State. The Raleigh News and Observer says it is prompt, reliable and en terprising. , Daniel Webster, a man whose words were generally the embodi ment of wisdom, said: "'In a country like ours, above all others, this truth holds good. If the peo ple can obtain a fair compensation for their labor, they will have good business, good clothing, good food and the means of educating their families. Labor will be cheerful and the .people happy.

A dozen Sisters were cut off in the convent building. They were forced to the windows, and while some climbed out to the sills, others knelt at the casements in prayer. Engineer Otto placed a long ladder and rescued a half dozen. Six were forced to jump for their lives and all but Sister Bert rand escaped without serious lniury. l wenty-inmates were injured by falls, jumps and burns. That more lives were not lost was due to the heroism of the Sisters and some of the inmates. WEDNESDAY. The government has surrendered to the Revolutionists in San Do- SH0T FROM AMBUSH. Barnes, of Wilson, Probably Fatally Wounded. Wilson, N. C, August 28. Capt. Calvin Barnes was shot in the back from ambush on the side of the road sibout dusk to-night, within half mile of Wilson, while returning from his farm. Two little grandchildren were in the buggy with him. The ball was an old-fashioned ounce Minnie ball, evidently shot from a musket. It entered the back of the left shoulder and went through the body, coming out near the right breast. A negro on the road heard groaning and went to Captain Barnes' assistance and brought him and his grandchildren home. At 9 o'clock Captain Barnes was thought to be sinking. Bloodhounds have been tele graphed for from Northampton and a special train secured to bring them here. A warrant has been sworn out against a white man on suspicion and officers have gone after him to-night. The place where Captain Barnes was shot is being guarded so as to get the trail when the dogs arrive. Crowds on the street are discus sing the dastardly crime, and the citizens and officers will take ev ery possible step to secure the perpetrator. Charlotte Observer. A Quart Before Breakfast. Winston-Salem, Aug 25 A sad death occurred a few days ago at Marler, Yadkin county. Isaac Royal, the father of a lerge fami ly and about 50 years old, drank a quart of whiskey before breakfast and died in a short time thereaf ter. At his request, his wife pre pared some chicken soup, but when the husband went to the ta ble he was unable to eat anything. He leaned his head over the table and it was soon discovered that he was speechless. The two sons carried him into another room and laid him on a pallet. The family paid no further attention until two hburs later, when it was discover ed that he was dead. He had been drinking for several days. Here is one of those who are either so prej udiced against all ad vertised remedies, or have become discour aged at the failure of other medicines to help them, and who will succumb to the grim destroyer without knowing of the won derful value of Foley's Honey and Tar for all Throat and Lung troubles.

A telephone message to the News and Observer from Durham last night brought another awful tale 4 an outrage committed by a negro man on a little white girl. Thedeed was perpetrated about dark, near the county convict camp, some three miles from Dur ham. Melville Parker, a convict, is the name of the guilty negro ahd his victim was Nettie Hurdlestoii, the eight-year-old daughter of Wm. Hurdleston, a respectable farmer. Parker was a trusty at the camp and was usually employ ed in carrying water to the con victs. On one of his trips for water, just alout dark, he came upon the little girl, same two hundred yards from her home and proceeded to carry out his devilish designs. This done, he hurried back to the camp and was preparing to try to escape, when the father of the girl, who had learned of what had happened, notified the guards. They at once took Parker into cus tody and be is now in camp under close guard. TUESDAY. The bakers and hackmen of Ha vana threaten to join the strike of the masons.

The town is perfectly quiet and presents ho unusual appearance, except for the blue uniformed sol diers cn every street. Colonel Lawton is satisfied that the dan ger is over, though the troops will remain until after the trial of John Delegal for the murder of Deputy Sheriff Townsend, as a measure of precaution. The negroes are coming to un derstand that the presence of the troops is not a menace but a pro tection to them, and they are com ing in and laying down their arms. The probabilities are that during Wednesday the troops will withdraw. A Child Kidnapped. Wilson, N. C, Aug. 26. At Lucama yesterday an attempt to kidnap the young son of Mr. An drew Lamm was made by a negro tramp. A party of children were gathered in Mr. Lamm's front yard playing, when the negro picked up the child and made off towards the woods. An alarm was at once given by the little folks ahd a party of citizens went in pursuit. After searching the woods the child was found in the under growth where he had been thrown by the negro, but no trace of the brute could be found. The people were very much wrought up over the occurrence and a thorough search will be made for the kidnapper. Wil mington Messenger. Engineer Paralyzed on a Running Train.
