Goldsboro Special to Raleigh Post, Aug. 30th. The negro, D. B. Jones, who was thought to have been lynched in La Grange some time ago for an assault1 upon a white lady near the "town, turned up yesterday in Snow Hill, charged with forceful trespass on the lands of a farmer and was sent to jail. Although rewards were offered for the lynchers and the affair occa sioned much comment at the time. the negro was not hurt more than a severe whipping. The clerk of the court of Greene county knew the La- Urange negro and says the negro now in jail in Snow Hill is the same negro. Two Pt Wild Oeeae. Mrs. MaryE. Hammond, of Salem, owns two pet wild geese. These birds were given her by the late Maj. N. G. Hunt, of Panther Creek, Yadkin county.

At one time it was especially noted that one visitor remained for three weeks. The North Carolina Hogs Won. Buffalo. N.

" Slavery In Burka County. MorRanton Dispatch, 30th, A woman, giving her name as Lydie Masser, came to town to day with a queer storv. She says that fourteen years ago a man named Lane, who lives on the top ot the South Mountains of Burke county near the Rutherford line, came to her father's house and threatening her life induced her to go to his home, where she has lived in a con dition of . slavery ever since. She says she has been forced to do man s work 'on .Lane s farm, and that she was afraid to leave or make complaint, fearing that she would be killed. Lane is preparing to leave the country, she says, and she came to town to bring suit against him for her services and for the possession of some personal chattels. The truth of her storv may be developed on the trial. The Enterprise's Snake Story. i Mooresrille Enterprise. Mr. J. E.

Senator Simmons is of the opin- that McLaurinism will amount to little in South Carolina or anywhere else. He thinks it is daily becom ing weaker and that the movement will soon be a thing of the past. The effort to introduce it into this State, he says has failed utterly. "In the mountains this summer 1 met many South Carolinians, he said "and some of them were gold Democrats and McKinley sympathiz w if a. .a ers. While tney are xavoraoie t-o tne McLaurin movement, they are hope less of its success.- One of them, the best informed man I met in re gard to South Carolina politics, told me there could be no doubt as to the outcome of the struggle be tween Tillman and McLaurin: that McLaurin is no match for his antag onist. "As to the movement, imported into this State under the titles of 'Business Men's Leagnes,' 'Com mercial Democracy, the 'New Dem- ocracy, ana tne iixe, 1 inmK mat reached its climax with the forma tion of one lone league with a dozen men at Louisburg. You will hear very little more of the movement, I predict. Working; Night and Day The busiest and mightiest little thing that ever was made is Dr. King's New Life Pills.

A Sad Case in Rowan County.. Salisbury Sun. The brave and gallant old' Capt. J. A Gray, of this county, was taken to the county home for the poor yesterday. It is a sad, pathetic story this his- tory of the once proud spirit now crusnea by adversity and seeking tastenanoe at the hands of the pub lic. Under the roof of a county! noma the lew remaining days of this old man will slip away and the few delusions and phantasies of a dutMfcsed mind will be bis sole com fort. Forty years ago Capt. Gray was a brave, handsome aud prosperous young man: He was born in Kowau county but while yet a boy his pa rents removed to Arkansas and it was in that Slate that he grew in young manhood. When the civil war came on ho was elected captain of a Confederate company and was noted during t ho entire war for his intrepid daring acd splendid judg ment. After the war he came to Rowan and accumulated a handsome competence. lie had six children and when physical infirmities began to prey upon him he distributed his remaing in property among .his six children, who are still living. For some time Capt. Gray haslived with a daughter near the Iredell county ine but as his mind grew weaker and he became more uncontrollable he was more burdensome to the fam ily and it was decided to appeal to the county commissioners to help him. Accordingly he was brought in yesterday and taken to the home. It is thought that he will later be moved to the county asylum here. It is sad to contemplate this picture of -a once prosperous man, au indulgent father,a worthy citizen and a brave soldier spending his last days in penury, 4 dependent upon the public Mr. bruce Hart, who brought Capt. Gray down to Salisbury, says his children are not deserving all the criticism aimed at them, as they themselves are in humble circum stances and unable to care for their father in his condition. llojjers Spirited Away by His JKriendi Franklinton Special to -Raleigh News and Ob server, 29th. Thos. S. Rogers, who was under commitment to Oxford j ill for as sault on Miss Harris, near Wiilou. was last night taken by masked ana arme dmen from Constable Biackiey and two guards who naa him m Chart-re. . and soirited awav, no one knows where. It had been reporttd that a party was coming frouj Ox supposedly for the purpose of lynch ing Rogers, and Biackiey was hid ing in the low grounds near with him when his hiding place 7as dis covered with the above result, it is supposed that the deed was done by Rojrers's friends who spread the Ox ford lynching story as a blind to get the officer with his prisoner away from Wilton. Constable Frank Biackiey, who had Rogers in charge, was his surow e'd friend and one of the witnesses summoned for him oa the preiin narv trial. Though he was not put on thestand,he made no secret of his svmDathvfor the defendant. Before Use trial Biackiey allowed Roger who was it his custody, the greatest liberty, even allowing him to ride about over, the country, attend church and call on a vounir woman to whom he is said to be engaged. After the trial Biackiey expressed great regret at its outcome. Governor Aycock will offer a r; ward for Rogers, unless he is re arrested at once. Successful Negro "Who Lets Politics Alone. Scotland. Neck bpecial to Raleigh News and Observer, 31st. "I wouldn't give a chew of tobac co for politics." This was Mike Har dy's answer to your correspondent when asked if he has ever taken any interest in politics. Mike Hardy is a colored man, who lives three miles from Scotland 2eck. In 1S2 h bought fifty acres of sandy land v eral miles from Roanoke river, and built a comfortable home. He culti valed his little farm faithfully for ; number of years and was so encour aged that in 187S he bought 240 acres of land on Roanoke river- This ve ture was so satisfactory that in 1880 he Durchased 3o acres, and in lb'J7 135 acres more. Mike thus has in round numbers 800 acres of valuable land. When asked by your corres Dondent about the value ofit.he said '1 would not like to take f tu.uuu tor it.

WOUND' Mecklenburg Melon Thieves Fired on by an Irate Farmer. Charlotte News. 30th. - Charlie V.cDuffie, colored, mortal ly wounded in the head., Sam Alexander, colored, shot in the arm. Not serious. The above fatalities tell the story, of a night's raid on a watermelon uach on the' old Hunter place,about five m He from Charlotte. fr. J. S. Cretuhaw was the gentleman who did the shooting and a double bar relled shot gun loaded with buckshoS was the weapon. For some time past Mr. Crenshaw and, in fact all the farmers in that section of Sharcn township, have 'been bothered with watermelon thieves. The midnight marauders would go in the patch and rip the melons right ana leu. luegoodpeo- ple ot Sharon had put up with this until their patience was weil nigh worn out. as a last resort, several decided to hide out near their melon patches and see if the thieves could be caught. Mr. Crenshavy is one of the men that stood the work of the thieves as loner as he could. Last night, he oaded bis gun with buckshot and went to a point where he had st splendid view of his melon pateh. He hid himself among the weeds and waited the coming of the thieves. About 9 o'clock, he heard two voices very near where ho lay. He waited until the men arrived at the melon patch and continued his wait until he was sure they" came for' the pur pose of carrying off his property. Then, bv the light of the moon, he took good aim-and fired. The first oad of buckshot struck Charlie Mc- Duffle, who ran "a short dis.tance and fell. The second shot was aimed at Alexander The aim, like the first, was true and the load barely missed his body, striking him in the arm. Alexander went some distance but returned to Mr. Crenshaw's house, acknowledged that he had been shot while attempt'ng to steal a water melon andaskpd Mr. Crenshaw to allow him to remove McDuttie, who was. at that time l :nir nar the me lon tat::b. p'f;?.ifiv u :-- ur. Jren- baw acctii'-ahied Alexander to v here McDuttie lay. As quickly as' . ; . .1 ' ! pwtiMOie ne wets removeu to a ueign boring house and Dr. Lester Hun ter was bent for to dress both ne gro's wounds. It was found on ex amination that Alexander s injuries were slight. The load did not strike his arm fair but rather glanced to one side. McDufiie did not escape &o luckily. Oa examination it was ascertained that most of the shot took effect in the head. Dr. Hunter thinks two of the shot probably passed through the nead. At any rate, McJJume is in a precarious condition ana ms re- covery. is not lookea ior. As soon as bheriu VV allace beam of the ocqurrance he sent Deputy Sheriff Johnston to Investigate. Mr. Johnston found the facts as above stated. Owing to the serious con dition of McDuffie, Mr. Johnston thought it best to briDg Mr. Cren shaw to Charlotte with him. Immediately n his arrival here Mr. Crenshaw retained Mr. E. T. (.iansler audi hey w-nt before 'Squire Hiltoa and submitted. iir. Urenshaw was required to giya a bond of $500, and tha preliminary bearing was set for next Monday. The section where this trouble oc- curreu last nignt-nas suuuiiLmu iu nightly depredations of the kind a bove related until the people have grown very weary. Several parties from Sharon were here today and all say something ofjthe kind had 5 be done for piotectiou. Later. The negro died at 4 o'clock Friday. Crenshaw was put under guard to await the verdict of the coroner jury. Saturday the coroner's jury found that Crenshaw did the killing and he was placed in jail An effort will be made to get him out oj bail under habeas corpus proceeding. A Modern Diogenes.
