Chauffeur : At Richlands
Says Suspicious Negro
Hired Automobile
An investigation into the brutal
jnurder of Manley Hatch, keeper of
the Goldsboro Lumber Company's com
missary near Richlands, on Th'irday
morning, yesterday brought to light
the circumstances , which' have, lead the
authorities to believe that the crime
was committed by , Alfred Lynch, a
negro who was-' employed at the camp.
The Journal told yesterday morning
of the finding of "Hatch's body lying
- in a clump of bushes near the commis
sary with his throat cut from ear to
ear and- with the ground in that vici
nitv scattered wtth blood. As soon
as the, crime was discovered, and in
vestigation was begun and it was lear
ned that Lynch went to Richlands
just before 1 o'clock Thursday after
noon and hired an automobile to take
turn to Kinson. where, so he told the
driver of the car.he was to be married.
The driver of the car when ques
. tloned, says that Lynch alighted: out
4n the - suburbs of the city ' and '"thai
- was the last he saw of him. The Len
oir county authorities were notified
of the murder and asked to be"otfe'
lookout for Lynch.- They, began work
on the case at once and learned that a
negro answering, the description of
Lynch had visited the Norfolk South-

tactful to Indulge in open criticism. It is known that many of them disapprove of the extent to which secrecy has

lector of Internal Kevrnuc, in favor
if a legalized primary for North Car
ilina. Such a primary is also advo
cated bv (nil. ( raig and Hon. los-
ephus I'aniels, Secretary ol the Aavy.
It is also advocated by Congressman
Small in a recent, strong article. Corj
gressman Small is calling upon the Dis
trict Committee to order a District
Primary in his District; and Congres-i-Congressman
Godwin has a District
Primarv already established.
Recently over the protest of the
ld "Mossback" politicians like Tom

of Senator Ke. n, has adopt ! a state-

road track?, and will ! swept under
wheels of this coming engine of
thj people's rule.
In the Third Congressional District
a primary seems a-s ired, and it is a
right and fair thing. The Pend.-r
Chronicle, in i recent issue, has ih s
to say:
"Petition- a-ling b r a primary
have been circul ited throughout Pen
der, as well as oilier counties in the
Third Congressional District and we
are ingformed that the majority of
the Democratic voters in the Dis
trict have signed same. There is no
doubi but what the pe.iple want a
primary and they should have it. The
convention is the tiling of the past.
The people rarely, il ever, gel their
choice in a convention, and il is to be
hoped that they will succeed in betting
the primary."
The Journal i also advised that Tri
the Third District a majority of the
candidates for Congress have signed a
petition asking the District Committee
to order a Primary. The Journal is.
ali informed that Hon. John M. Faison
favors a primary for the Third Dis-
drict and has written a letter to Hon.
Charles R. Thomas in which he states
that he be glad to join him in the sev
eral candidates for Congress and this '
District in requesting the Democratic
Executve District Committee to hold
a District Democratic: Primary in the
several counties of the District to nom- .
inate a Democratic candidate for .
Congress; the plan of the Primary and
date to be arranged by the District -;
Committee when it meets. So that,
it seems clear that with the public sen- V
timent of the District shown by peti
tions and through the newspapers of
the District, and with the endorse
ments of the majority of the candi
dates, including Congressman Faison.
the District Committee will feel that ;
they cannot do otherwise than to order
a District Primary in which every Dent- j
ocrat of the . District, independently
of any convention, shall have the right .
to express, by his ballot his choice for
the Democratic nomination for Con- '
gressman. . such x primary is lair i
and right; and such a primary is in
accordance with the sentiment of the
State and . of the people, and should, -undoubtedly,
be ordered by the Com
mittee.1 ' -
