NOMINATED FOR THE
LEGISLATURE FROM Y
PERSON COUNTY.
The Story cf His Trial and Sentence
Last
January - -Three Populists on The Jury
But 7 he . Jury Was Unanimous ". For '
Conviction From The Time They
ToqU The Case.
S. P. Satterfleld has been nomina
ted for flie next House of -Representatives
from Person county, '
S". P. Satterfied is a Republican, and
was clerk in the last House of Repre
sentatives. - " -
S. P. Satterfleld, on January 11th
ast,:vas found guilty by . a : jury of
his fellow-citizens of "willful; unlaw
ful and negligent misconduct, in office."--
- - r j. v"-
8. P. Satterfieldon January 14, last,
was sentenced to a fine of $250 and
costs or workout th same oo the pub'
lie roads. ... .
From t.he time, they, took the case
the jury ' were unanimous. '
There were on the jury three Por5-
ulist and nine Democrats.
And yet there is the' astounding at
teraDt beiner made to allow S. P. Sat-
terfield to participate in the law-making
of this State, s.- 'P.' Satterfleld
who willfully and unlawfully misus
ed his office to the outragement of
the most sacred rights of the peo ple.
.
S. P. Satterfleld, after his nomina
tion by the Republicans of Person
county, was repudiated by the Popu
lists of Person who refuse.;' to fuse
on a man with such a,record.
The Populists drew the line on Sat
terfield. . ;'.
The bill of indictment against Sat
terfleld set forth that S. P. Satter
field, principal clerk of the House of
Reperesentatives, omitted to perform
the duties of his office hy delivering
to the Enrolling Clerk; J., Wv Brown,
an alleged act; a bjll which had been
tabled in the Houseof .Representa
tives, and that the bill should not
have been enrolled. T ,
The second "count" set forth that
S. P. Satterfleld - fraudeiitly, and
corruptly procured" this enrollment,..
To-day this S. P.:Satterfield; under
criminal conviction, stands as -a can
didate for a seat in 'the law making
branch of our State government.
The statement of r the - facts above
are quite enoughto appeal to all tion
est-minded citizens ; without .regard
to color, creed,4 condition, or poli
ties. .-.-.--
In regard ttf this same Assignment
Act," Judge Faircloth, when it came
before the Supreme Court, said in the
decision: - ' , r , s
"If crimes are perpetrated r in lgis:
lation the authors are liable andcan
be punished as other violators ; of the
law, and possibly a reasonable and
honest effort by 'the proper, authori
ties would bring to light the authors
of the wrong." , 0 - '
Quoting from Judge Clark's opinion
Judge Paircloth read as follows:
"The act:of a corrupt and hirel yil
lian whose, proper place is in the pen
itentiary, should by no process of rea
soning of refinement'of logic, be im
posed on the people in expressed con
tradiction to a vote of the General
Assembly.'1
Solicitor Pou in his splendid, fear-
lessv..;, nrMrr"u;uin4 of the I
coavcte man said that a lie was
stamped on the back of the bill; that
the defendanthad carefully endeav-
ored to cover up his tracks by making
m the Journal no entry of the tabling
of the bill and that he took no re-
ceipt from the enrolling clerk; . that
rhe was seen going' to -the enrolling
clerk's office by Smith; that shortly
j afterwards t,he bill was found enroll
ed and there after found its way back
into the possession of Satterfleld. . " '
Judge McIver charged the jury, as
to the first count, that they must be
satisfied from the evidence BEYOND
A REASONABLE DOUBT THAT
THE DEPENDANT WILFULLY,
UNLAWFULLY AND NEGLIGENT
LY CAUSED, OR PERMITTED THE
TABLED BILL TO BE ENROLLED;
that if they should so conclude, they
must find him guilty on. this count.'
The charge ..was 'a clear euccint
btatement of the law. It was deliverd
in an impressive manner, a profound
impression. It was, impartial, and
THE JUDGE WARNED THB JURY
OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THE
rsSUE TO DECIDED AND
CAUTIONED THEM NOT TO FIND
THE DEPENDENT -GUILTY; UN
LESS THE STATE" HaD MADE
OUT ITS CASE .BEYOND A REA
SONABLE DOUBT. : -
With all these -warnings . and safe
guards from the Judge,, on behalf of
the prisoner,, THE JURY, -THREE
OF WHOM WERE POPULISTS,
were unanimous, from the time they
took the case, for his conviction.
Does not the monstrous act of nomi
.riating.this man, while even new he
is under ; criminal conviction, ' bear
out the danger, which the News and
Observer is constantly trying to hold
before the good people of ;. the 'State,
that will come to .: them and their
State's honor should the State gov
ernment be turned over tovthe base
anddesperate gang represented by
Russellism. , .
Can Repulicaus claim . consistenly,
indeed, to be looking after the honor
of this State, when they;put .up a no
torious law-breaker for the House of
Representatives of a free and peace
ful and nonorable people.
The story tpld above carries its own
appeal. It appeals not to disonorable
but to"honorable men, and it is not
to be thought for one instant thelle
publicans, not satisfied with the
taint of a Satterfleld - within 1 their
ranks," shall be permitted f urther to
impose the disgrace of his presence
among the law-making body of the
State, the chief index of whose honor
lies in the rule of conduct laid. down
in what are called legislative enact
ments. News and Observer; .

ature is concerned, is yery:,much like

' - FARM PRODUCTS.-' Y '
- . rhe principle . products of .the
farms in " this part : of" "China, .are:
wheat, millet, beans'and fkoe Hang,''
tall grain, a kind -of grain resembling
very m uch our.com mon m biases cane,
but the stalk seems to be entirelyde
void of sugars, This"koeliang" 4s
used for various - purposes. 7 Besides
the grain, which i. used for food for
both man and beast, the v stalks are
put to various uses. Mats are made
from the out sidehaicl tough part of
the, stalk, houses are built and Vjover-
ed .with themin some part where the
people are'' very poor, and- fences
built; but by far the greater, part of
them are used for fuel. -The beans
are usually planted as soon as wheat
is harvested, on the same land from'
which wheat are : taken; sometimes
thexnext day as the wheat is removed
from the field to the threshing floors
at once. The bean vines are now
nearly two feet iii height. Y Y
W,HEAT HARVESTING.
The way wheat is harvested ' here
would seem to be quite a novel way
tomost bf the "people- at, liome.' ' I
don?t suppose that these people-have
improved on the , methpds employed
in the days of Abraham and; Moses.
Some times the wheat is hulled up
by the rats and sometimes? out "with
something similar to thet old. reap
hook.When-takienupby.'the'-rootsi'
the roots are cut off,' and x the straw
containing the wheat is placed upon
a smbothj; hard , place,v prepared for a
threshing flpor, and is threshed by
roiling a.ronna scone,; puneu-, oy
donkey over the wheat. .Theroots
are u sed as fuel, and .even when the
wheat is out, the roots ; are dug up
and used' for; the same purpose. - The
wheat is wind mowed by tossing the
wheat in the face of the wind, the
wind blowing' the chaff back in the
face of him who ' tosses it. Y Their
method of making flou r ; is about as
primitive as their method. of saving
V ' FRUITS. AND VEGETABLES. " '
