T ING! iRiosrTiiisrGr co., Statesville,.N. C. I Bank EDITORIAX. NOTES. in tne aeatn oi Hon. jaines T. LeGrande, of Richmond connty, th State has lost one of her truest. bravest and best. He was one of the strongest lawyers of his section. Twice he represented his district in the State Senate, and was several times a candidate for the Democrat ic Congressional nomination in the sixth district. Although unsuccess ful, he would have, adorned a seat Id Congress. All his -political life he was a leader pf the Pee Dee Demo crats, than whom none truer or braver live. A chivilric, knightly soul went to Heaven when LeGrand9 was gathered to his fathers. It is said that Marion. Butler has sent out a circular letter to his Pop ulist henchmen urging them to pre serve their organization intact and not to affiliate with or identify themselves with either .of the old parties. He does this for trading purposes, as it is well known that Butler is really a Republican. How ever, witn the negro eliminated as a voter, the few thousand Populists will cut but little ice in the politics of the State. By preserving their separate organization they may scare Pritchard and the other Re publican leaders out of a few Fed eral office's, and this is doubtless Butler's object. H. Cieero Cowan, House journal clerk of the last two Legislatures, died at his home in Webster, Jack son county, one day last week of tvuhoid fever, aired 3Q years. No legislative body ever had a mora ob liging and competent officer. Every member was his friend. Young as he was, he had already served as su perintendent of schools and Superi or Court clerk of his county. Last year he received license to practice law, and his friends expected a long life nf usefulness at the bar and in public affairs for him. But it was not to be. In hi6 yotfrrgmanhood and with life's honors within reach of his ambitions, he was cut down. In their hour of affliction the be reaved father and mother have the comfort of the memory of their son's well spent life. The name of ex-Governor WmrJi atone, of Missouri, has been men tioned as a probable candidate for the Democratic nomination for President in 1904, but it is announc ed that he will not be a candidate for that omce. tiovernor btone is one of the ablest and truest of living Democrats, and he would make a great President, but it is too early to be talking candidates yet. Prob ably less than one per cent, of tb4 Democrats have ever heard the name of the man who will be nominated to lead them in the next great con test. Events between now and the meeting of the convention wil doubtless point out the logical can didate and shape the wisest plat form. In the meantime Democrats will do well to carry their State and local elections, preserve a solid or ionization and be readv to win the fight when the fighting time omes To do this we Ecwst strengthen the faith of Democrats in the party and cot seek to tear it down by criticism of everything done by the party and threats of independentism unless the uarty does exactly to! our own notion.

NEGRO JLYNCHED IX ANSON. Brute Outrages and Probably. Kill a ounK White woman or itcmiii- "neno and. is Quickly Made to Pay the Penalty. WadeRboro Special to Raleigh News and Observ er, 22nd. Luke Hough, a negro, was lynched at McFarland this county, this after noon and thus paid the penalty for th? commission of a crime without parallel in the history of this sec tion - Miss Lena Keith, who resides-with her brother near-the South Carolina ne, was perhaps mortally assault ed and outraged by Hough today bout 1 o'clock. She is now scarcely alive and it is thought that she can- ot live. Miss Keith was asleep in her home by herself when her room was in vaded by the negro. v She awoke and found herself in his grasp. The negro seized a chair and pounded her into insensibility and then accomplished his nameless pur pose After having done this he cut her throat, chest, face nd head and left her apparently dead. She survived an hour or more af terwards and made an effort to reach the house of a neighbor. She gained the door and fell upon the door un conscious, and remained in this con dition for some hours. The cause of her condition wasim mediately conjectured. The alarm was given, messages sent to nearby towns and soon scores were making haste to the scene of the tragedy. A message was sent to Florence for blood hounds and they were soon brough-on a special train. Before their arrival a dog was ob tained from Dr Meisenheimer and placed upon: the negro's trail. He wa3 traced to a house half mile dis tant. - The negro upon seeing his pur suers approach closed the doors and windows and refused to be arrested, but the doors were battered down and he was taken. Blood was found on his clothing and some of tbe hair of the young adj on his coat. He was carried to Miss Keith, who at this time had regained conscious ness. She recognized him and gave brief description of the assault. The negro then made a confession and gave the details of his dastardly deed. By this tima perhaps three hun dred citizens from this county and from South Carolina were on the scene, and a large number of negroes were also present. .The brute was carried to a limb a short distance from the place of his crime, lynched and his body perforated with -bul- ets. Tlie negroes present endorsed all that was done. The negro was about twenty years of age and bore the reputation of be ing extremely insolent. The voung lady is twenty-two years of age and possessed of a beau tiful character. The wounds on her neck and head are thought to be fa tal. Another Xegro Slurdered at Ashe ille Ashe ville Dispatch, 23rd, What was believed last night to have been an accidental .death by shooting is known today to hav-a been a vicious, predmeditated and cold-blooded murder. About midnight a telephone mes sage was received at police head quarters to the effect that a young negro man had shot himseit in the Kenilworth Inn section of the city. Officers responded to the message and found Eugene Davis cold in death, with two pistol wounds near his heart Standing near the bod 3' were Walter Champion, Joseph Freeman and Charles Hudson, the Latter a white man who has a family. The three united in saying that Davis had asked for the pistol, and in firing it had accidentally shot himself. The officers generally be lieved the story, but held the three persons as witnesses. An inquest was conducted over the remains this morning by Coroner Sevier, and an autopsy was made to learn the loca tion of the bullets. In this and in other ways suspicion" was aroused over the story of i.be three witnesses, and they were put up on the stand and subjected to something like a sweat box examination. Freeman, who is a mere boy, uot being-over 13 years of age, broke down under the examinatiotLand told a story which has proven a shock to the community hardly second to that revelation of crime last Monday, when it became known that John Miller had mur dered the colored woman. WilljSa horn, and plased her body in a trunk Freeman said his home was with Dr. Battle, on the mountain; that he had met Champion and Hudson, who told him to go with them, and that as the men were drinking he was afraid to disobey, he was a wit ness to the crime from its inception to its fatal ending. It was claimed that Champion's wife had written a letter to Davis, which angered Champion, and his friend Hudson. Early in the evening they came ov er to town to look for Davis but he could not be found and the men had gone to his home near Kenilworth Inn. Having reached the house, they called Dayis out and told the unsuspecting man that 'they wanted him to go to a lynching with them; that John Miller was to be lynclied later in the night. Davis walked a short distance "With the men when Champion drew a 46 calibre army revolver, and placing it against the breast of Davis, fired twice. Cham pion then stood over his victim and after watching the life blood spurt from the great wounds for a moment, exclaimed: "Well, boys, has he got enough? If you say so, I will light him up a few more times." He was told to desist, and after makiDgsure that the form was life less, the pistol and scabbard were nlanpd about the body in a way to give the impression that death was self inflicted. This done the three ! went to a nearby house and tele phoned for officers. - . Mrs. S. H. All port, Johnstown, Pa., savs ' Our litt'e kM almos .!

Stimson - n Anderson. , . Mortality Statistics. Washington Dispatch, 23rd. The Census , Bureau today made public tho mortality statistics for the year 1900. W. A. King, chief of the vital statistics division, says: "Tbe most important feature of the results presented is found in the decrease in the gaaeral death rate in the registration area of 1.8 per 1.000 of the population, a decrease of nearly 10 per cent., and the de crease in the rates from the partic ular diseases to which the general decrease is due. "Th effect of the advance made 1 medioal science aud sanitation and in the preventive and restric tive measures enforcedly the health authorities is still more strikingly shown in the comparative rate for the registration cities of the coun try taken together. In 1890 the death rate in 271 registration cities of 5,000 or more population was 21 per 1,000; in 1890 tbe rate was 18.6 per 1,000 in 341 cities of 8.000 popu lation and upward, a reduction of 2 4 per 1,000. The decrease in the general rate and in the rates due to diseases most frequent ire the early years of life, on one hand, and the increase in the rates due to those diseases occurring generally at ad vanced ages, cn the other, mean al so increased longevity. The average age at death in 1S90 was 30.1 years; in 1900 it was 33 2 years. The total number of deaths reported in 1900 was 1,039,094; in 1890 it was 841,- 519." The total deaths in the Southern States for 1900 aro as follows: Al abama. 25,099; Florida, 6,482; Geor gia, 16,041; Kentneky, 27,091; Lou isiana, 20,955; Maryland, 20,422; Mississippi, 20,251; Missouri, 38,084; North Carolina, 21,068; South Caro lina.17,166; Tennessee, 30,572; Tex as, 34J60; Virginia, 25,252. Portland, Ore. with a death rate of 9.5 per thousand, shows the lowest mortality and Shreveport, La., with 44.5 tpe highest. t Over lOO Persons Burned. Philadelphia Dispatch, 2jrd. Ly the collapse of a burning oil tank today at. the A .; Me lletinint; Company's plp.nt-, ai Ft.-hir Breeze, whore a fire has been raging since Monday afternoon, about. 100 per ;03s, fiivm!i. employes of the com pany and spectators, were more or loss severely burned. Most of the cases were treated on the ground b ambulance surgeons, but a- few of them were considered sufficiently serious to necessitate the removal of the victims to the hospitals. It was shortly after two o'clock today when the tank fell, the heavy iron sheathing separating at the seams, precipitating great quanti ties of blazing petroleum into Passa yunk avenue. There was a wild startmsde among the people in the vicinity, but nauy of them were padly burned by the fiery spray which fell among them. Dykes were hastily thrown up by the fire men and employes of the company and the blazing fluid was confined to an area of about two blocks on Pas sayunkvavenue. At one time it was thought the rlames would commmni cate with tbe purifying house of the united Gas Improvement Company, which is separated from the oil works by a vacant lot. The burn ing on oversowed tne uyKes to tne lot and only the most determined efforts saved the gas company's property. Trenches were dug and eifirbt lines oi hose were kept con- stantly playing on the purifying house. Fatal Fights in Wake and Counties- Rale'gh News and Observer, 2:nd. Franklin News was received here yesterday of two ugly fights that occurred last FridayHn the Wakefield section, near the Wake-Franklin line. While working the old Tarboro road, between Mitchell's mill anc Antioch church, in this county. young white man named Wilkinson, ani a young negro named George Dunn got into an altercation. Dur ing the Quarrel the nejjro struck Mr. Wilkinson from behind with e hoe, inflicting a terrible wound which will very likely prove fatal The negro lied and is still at large. It is said that Mr. . Wilkinson's skull is fractured; and the doctors say nothing snort or a , miracle can save his life. Jue'i regret is ex pressed at the occurrence, as Wilk inson was a young man well thought of in his community. On the same day, just over the line in Franklin county, a dispute arose between two cousins named Kichards and resulted in a light in which oue of them was so badlv cu that it is thought he will die. They are both young men. and were, like Wilkinson and Dunn, working the road when the trouble arose. It was reported here yesterday that the doctor had given Rich ards up and that his death was merely a question of a very short time. Girls Smoke Cigarettes at Atlantic - City. Atlantic City, N. J., Dispatch, 23rd. . The custom of smoking cigarettes tn the oeach here is no longer en tirely confined to young men. The young women have usurped the pre rogative. It is now a daily sight to see scores of women quietly puffing away in semi-secluded spots not far retm-ved from the wafers edge. The practice is indulged in by y7oung la dies who in the evening cn be seen promenading the corridors of the se lect h itels, and their indifference to passers-by would .indicate that the girls consider it permiosible. Timo was when such conduct would lead to ostracism. Its pre valence on Ihe beach tcday is indi cative of a relaxity in the laws gov erning women's privileges. - While a few spectators look ihorrified, many another youcg lady looks on apparently envious of the quesjion- able accomplishment.
