Ben Xoyner, a negro who is as black as the proverbial Aco, of Spades, who is fifty-eight years old and who bears the distinction of being the best guide in '.. Eastern North Carolina, came to New Bern yesterday' rom his little log cabin on the banks of Lake Ellis went to the office of Register of Deeds and secured'-a-license, to marry an eigh teen yeax old negress. Usually there would be nothing of interest to warrnat a write up of this length but in this case the facts are so strange that they seem like fiction. Joyner has worked "double fiarnes'.' : on twdim)lar occasions but both of his-previous, help-meets have long agoL crossed over to a Better Land. However,, he claims to be the father of thirty-three children and out of this number, twenty-seven, are now living;' in Carteret and .Craven counties and they are the pride, and joy of the old ,n8 .court at Ehzabeth City and ac man's life," at lea'st 'next to his fishing cording to the Independent, published naa hunting trips they -are. Despite at that place , he has discovered that the. fact that there is a vat difference the convicts there are being brutally in the ages of Joyner and his new bride they seemed perfectly happy when they stepped up in' front of the local magis trate to have the knot' tied! which will make them as one until death, or the divorce- courts, place '-them assunder. The chief event of importance id Joy ner's life, or at least ..the one .about which he talks the most,: occurred while the renowned Christy. Matthewsori was oft,a visit to the Lake section -two years- ago. At that time Joyner had twirler around through the wilds of that section and of this he is remark ably proud and often prefaces his re- marks with "Abpufc ihe time Marse Cris' Matthewsoo cum " down la dis paht ob de country," in fact the old pian has dated alnost every event of importance from t;he day of "Matty's" j visit.

Washington, Sept. 24, It wasialjt five thousand troops in So- officiallj stated at the White House today thet the latest troubles be tween General Carranza and Gen eral Villa would not alter the plans of the United Stares as to with drawing troops from Vera Cruz or the status of the embargo on arms. No date has been fixed for moving the troops. EL PASO, TEXAS, Sept 24. If General Villa's revolt against the Carranza government results in armed revolution, the first battle probably will occur at the old battle grounds of either Torron of Zaca tecas. General Villa, forced to abandon his expedition in assistance of the Maytorena revolt in Sonora, today prepared to rush his troops south from Jaurcz and Chihauhua City to meet what was reported as a strong force of Carranza soldiers moving north from Aguas Calientes and Za catecas. All was astir in Chllhuahua the State which for four years and in almost as many revolutions, has furnished the greatest and most efficient force of fighting men. According to official estimates Villa controls nearly forty thousand troops. Maytorena has mobilized HORRARS OF SLAVERY SAID tii nia iu lviui Judge Frank Carter Makes Some Sensational Exposures in That County. Cruelties Practiced on Convicts Said to be Fearful. Judge Frank Carter of Asheville, well known in New Bern, has been hold- treated and has started an investiga tion which it is believed will result in an upheaval in that -town.' , The following is taken from this week's issue of the Independent' , "An investigation of. the conduct of the Pasquotank county convict camp or chain gang, started by Judge Frank ,- Carter in the Superior Court of this county Tuesday afternoon has already verified the charges repeated ly made by- this newspaper, and more. Judge, Carter's investigation had -. to be-halted yesterday , morning, to wait upon the report of the Southern Ex press Company and the Norfolk South ern Railroad who have been' ordered to show, the number, of shipments of liquor received by the officers and guards of the chain gang trom April 1913 to date. The investigation will be re sumed at noon Saturday.- Sensational developments are expected". C - "The evidence, already secured by Judge Carter, and the investigation only begun, indicates that the condi- Between Ihe two 4 nota. Thoy ure mostly Yaqui In dians. Efforts, it is said, are being made by the Carranza element to enlist the services of the Mayos, a rival tribe, who outnumber the Ya quis in the west coast country. Villa also probably will be able to recruit many troops from Durango state, where he has operated fre quently. Carranza's forces comprise the unified force of General Pablo Gon zales, his eastern divisional com mander, probably numbering about thirty thousand men, and those of the west coast rroops under Obre gon, which participated in the entry of the national capital. It was asserted that ail of the west coast forces with the exception of those led by Mayorena, would stand loyal to Carranza. Since the lifting of the embargo about a week ago it is said General Villa has imported large quanti ties of arms and ammunition and sending financial and material as sistance to Maytorena, who as Gov ernor of Sorona, first rebelled a gainst the. new Mexican govern ment. 111 Plenum ill inuuuuiniiu tion of the convicts and the brutality of their guards is- even worse than, the Independent had expected. 'The evidence so far shows 1. Excessive drinking upon the part of the guards while on duty;' meaning that the convicts are not infrequently'-, in the hands of irresponsible drunks 1 armed with guns. - A guard may shoot a convict upon provocation, It .doesn't take much to provoke a brute1 .-under , the influence of liquor. One rase of a convict being shot by a guard has al ready cost ' the 1 county hundreds' of dollars.' ' ' .' ' 2. "Convicts are often" illegally whipped when the ' Supreme ' Court has "specifically rub.t that to whip a convict U an 'assault and the g Jard who whips a convict is amenable to law. Whipping convicts seems to have been a pleasurable pastime with chain gang guards and none has ever been called to account for . it..
