My heart beat quick-
Just coming into sight
Was she as last I'd seen her.
Dressed out out white.
She bore a plain, smooth, sad air.
Peculiarly her own ;
I saw her face, still fair,
Slightly sadder grown.
She spoke love confiding
And sympathizing tone.
She if I was hiding,
Or why I went alone

And asked if she would wed,
She then in voice calm and clear,
But half reproachful said
how pledged our love
Five years this date.

Let no man separate.

apt to drop into the Southerner
office, partly from force of habit

Monday morning, after the re-
porter had answered all Mr. Bat-
questions, he took a hand at
the rotation end himself and
asked him about other alleged
cures for the liquor and opium
habits.

the age and attracted the most
relentless, hostile criticism of the
profession. The cures have con-

the mark has been about
reached, disarming the critic by
the infallible test of time. With-
out solicitation, or hawking, on
the part of the Leslie E. Keeley

THE LYNCHING.
Va., was the set no of a
most deplorable affair last week.
On Wednesday morning a
man enticed a poor market woman
into a cellar, she thinking he was
leading her to the house of a
customer to whom some
chases were to be delivered, and
when in seclusion he robbed her
of her money and then cruelly
beat her, leaving as ho sup-
posed dead- In about half
hour the woman regained con-

the mayor with a guard went
into the jail and the military of
the city was ordered out and
placed around the prison. The
mob continued to increase until
it numbered several thousand.
About night they made attack
on the jail which was met by a
volley from the military killing
twelve of the mob and wounding
twenty odd more. The mob fell
back when tired upon and while
interest for the time being was
drawn from the to the dead
and wounded on the street
slipped him out of the jail
and took him away. The killing
and wounding of some of the mob
threw tho city into still greater
indignation this time
arising against the mayor and
officers and military, and it
was with difficulty that further
bloodshed was prevented- Next
day the officers started to slip the
back into the jail but the
mob had men on
lookout for this who discovered
the movements of the officers,
them and took the
from their custody. Tho
was swung to the nearest
limb and his body riddled with
bullets. They then cut body
down and started to bury it in
the yard of the mayor, but
to persuasion to desist from this-
The frenzied then dragged
the dead to the outskirts
of the city, made a pile of dry
lumber and shavings upon which
the body was placed, covered all
but the head with more of this
inflammable material, saturated
the whole with oil, sat it on tire
and filled the air with wild shouts
as the pile went up in smoke and
ashes.
This horrible vengeance did not
seem to satisfy the infuriated
mob and threats went out against
the mayor and military until they
had to flee for safety. At last ac
counts all had become quiet.
The whole affair is most
able- The deserved severe
punishment for his brutal crime,
but the people should have allow-
ed the law to take its own course
and not resorted to such violence,
which led to sacrificing the lives
of so many citizens. While sen-

duct of the military, there was a
large element that denounced
them and were because
they tired upon the mob. We

deserved as much censure
as was heaped upon them. They
were called out by the authorities
to deter a riotous mob from com-
a gross outrage against
the laws of their State, and when
these sixty armed militia saw
more than a thousand wild,
men madly upon
them, it looks like they mu-t
either repel them or be trampled
down before the surging mob.
If they were not expected to use
force if necessary to keep back
the mob then it looks like utter
folly to have called them out at
all. True they may have
firing longer than they should,
but if the people in this instance
had been preservers instead of
violators of the law there would
been none of this dreadful
bloodshed. We hope there may
be no such occurrence again.

feels the influence of his
efforts. He has not
to make any outlay if
i he saw that market was to be

WHERE. MR. WILLIAMS STANDS.
We saw in the Progressive Far-
mer a few weeks ago a letter
which was written by
of another county, which in-
that ex-Senator Willis R
Williams, of this had de-
the Democratic party and
gone to tho Populists. Though
several papers of tho State made
some comment upon it, the Re-
had no belief what ever
in the letter paid no attention
to it other to read it
wonder at tho cheek displayed by
some people who try to make
their side look popular by claim-
that certain leading men
with knew full well that
if Mr- Williams had gone to the
Third party Had no idea that
he had done that ho could
have said so for himself, without
it necessary for some man
off in another to jump up
go to shouting just because
the Senator, who is and has Ions
been President of tho State

es to the farmers.

the Democrats of House pro-
posed to put an effectual quietus

authorizing the presence of U. S-

order was not the result of any
assumption of power by a single
individual, as were the rulings of

caucus, as such things always be.

relentless, hostile criticism of the

ed such a tension as evening drew
on that threats of lynching were
loud and frequent. In order to
protect the from the mob,
the mayor with a guard went
into the jail and the military of
the city was ordered out and
placed around the prison. The
mob continued to increase until
it numbered several thousand.
About night they made an attack
on the jail which was met by a
volley from the military

twenty odd more. The mob fell

The whole affair is most
able- The deserved severe
punishment for his brutal crime,
but the people should have allow-
ed the law to take its own course
and not resorted to such violence,
which led to sacrificing the lives
of so many citizens. While sen-
was divided as to the con-
duct of the military, there was a
large element that denounced
them and were indignant because
they tired upon the mob-
yet to be convinced that the mil-
deserved as much censure
as was heaped upon them. They
were called out by the authorities
to deter a riotous mob from com-
a gross outrage against
the laws of their State, and when
these sixty armed militia saw
more than a thousand wild,
men rushing madly upon
them, it looks like they mutt
either repel them or be trampled

If they were not expected to use
force if necessary to keep back
the mob then it looks like utter
folly to have called them out at
all. True they may have
firing longer than they should,
but if the people in this instance
had been preservers instead of

The public tariff hearings were
concluded this week, and the

DEATH OP MISS
The death of this young lady which
occurred on the afternoon of the 20th at
the home of her father, Dr. Richard
mis, was a shock to the entire com-
and caused sadness to many
hearts. She had been sick only u week
and no one thought her sicklies very
serious until the evening before her
death. Miss Estelle was years old
and the community had not a more
charming and lovable young lady than
She.

Superintendent of Sunday-Schools and
the Omnipotent King, whose daughters
we are, to remove from us by our
beloved schoolmate and sister, Estelle
Williams, whose death occurred on

power of expression, to be compelled to
speak of her as dead it is with pleasure

to bear testimony to those high
ennobling qualities in her, that marked
her in many respects, as one of our

works, expressing the hope to see it
completed.

mourn her loss, and Indulge the hope
that our loss is her eternal gain.
We've buried her in sunshine,
Her soul has flown.

of bright tobacco.
There is more tobacco damaged
than we have ever known. We
have heard it estimated that the
wet spell which have just had
with the storm which receded it
caused a loss of five thousand
dollars to the farmers of this
county. A fact which we very
much deplore, knowing, as we do,
that the farmers are feeling the
hard times as much, if not more
than any other class.
Mr. J. S. Jenkins who for the
past week has been on the
North Carolina and Virginia
markets has returned and reports
only a gradual easing up of
money matters. He says tobacco
is higher on the Eastern Carolina
markets any of the old es-
ones. Mr. says
he has good orders for this mar-
to commence about Oct. 1st,
and that it is the case everywhere
that factories are not placing
their orders before October and
November.

In reference to the general
that went forth last week
that the bottom had dropped out
of the tobacco market we have
this to v Prices are some lower
than prevailed last week for the
reason that only damaged tobacco
has been offered. The same con-
prevails on every market,
buyers will not pay as much for ,
damaged stock as for good, that had
is only natural. Good tobaccos
when offered have been selling at
satisfactory prices. Most plant-
who have good stock are hold-
waiting for their neighbors
to sell, they offer only injured to-
and report prices low, con-
the one who has good
tobacco is afraid to offer it, think-
of course his neighbor sold
good tobacco. The recent rainy
spell caused considerable tobacco
to damage, especially where it
was not carefully watched. We
hear similar reports of low
prices from neighboring markets.
Greenville is all right as a
co market, having a good corps of
active buyers, we are sure the
here can and will
get you as much for all grades of
your tobacco as any market.
Those who have tried shipping,
seem convinced and are now
offering in our home market. We
hope for still higher prices,
on the brighter grades,
see no reason why they should
not go higher, only the scarcity
of money. We look for good
prices this week for we hope most
of the damaged stock has been
disposed of.
his personal references to us we
want to say that it made us feel
good though a great deal of it we
expect is unmerited- It threw a
different light on the warehouse
business altogether and makes us
feel that there is no obstacle too
difficult to surmount if we can
only get the backing of the east-
tobacco
tobacco growing was
first commenced in the Eastern
counties of the State old heads
remarked that tobacco
would never grow east of Raleigh
and Warrenton. But the heads
that wagged were mistaken, for
the golden weed has gradually
gone Eastward for four years and
is now a great industry in East-
Carolina.
And not only this but some of
the finest leaf which the trade now
gets comes from this once
section. The leaf grown in
the Eastern counties is brighter
and silkier that which grows
farther up the State and it is now
a well known fact that the choicest
of bright wrappers and cutters
now come from the tobacco fields
in Eastern Carolina. The great
factories of the West are now be-
ginning to look to that section for
the best wrappers for navy goods,
while the great cigarette concerns
of the country go there to get
their best cutters.
In the heart of this great bright
tobacco producing section is
Greenville which is destined to
be the leading market of East.
Greenville is the most Eastern of
all the North Carolina markets
and for this reason, if for no
she will be the leader. Wilson
is miles away and Rocky
Mount the same distance and
there is no competing market be-
it is but natural to
see that Greenville will become in
tobacco selling in Eastern Caro-
what Danville is to South-
side Virginia. Rich tobacco
lands surround Greenville on
The production of
the weed is increasing rapidly
and more than this the planters
in that section have a strong love
for their home market. They are
as much interested in the up-
building of a great market in
their own section as are the ware-
house people themselves and it is
but safe to say that the planters
of Pitt and the surrounding
ties will see that their tobacco
crops are sold at home. If a
home market is built up their to-
will naturally bring them
money and in the effort to
build up Greenville the planters
of the East are helping them-
selves.
Among the of
the East there is no one who de-
serves more credit than does Mr.
O. L. Joyner, of Greenville, owner
and proprietor of the Eastern To-
Warehouse. Though Mr.
Joyner is the youngest warehouse-
man in the State he is one of the
most enterprising and wide-awake.
He is a type of the new South i
hustler who knows no such word
as fail and who is a credit to
grades sold, as well as the most
clever and gentlemanly treatment.
It is perhaps but just to Mr-
Joyner to say that he has done as
much or more tor the
of the Greenville market during
the past two or three years than
any warehouseman in any of the
Eastern markets has done- He
has over the tobacco
counties of the Eastern Belt and
personally inspected the lands of
the planters and given much val-
advice about tobacco plant-
and tobacco curing. In
Greenville he has been active in
having leaf factories built and in
securing good orders for that
market from some of the largest
firms the country. All this
work has been cheerfully done,
because Mr. Joyner has pitched
his tent and is determined to
stand by the Greenville market
through thick and thin. But the
fruit of his work is clearly seen in
the largely increased sales. This
year the loose sales of leaf in
Greenville have increased over
one million pounds over last year
and the coming tobacco year is
expected to make a still larger in-
crease- For the of a
wide awake tobacco market in
their midst the farmers of the
East are due Mr. 0- L- Joyner a
lasting debt of gratitude-

A Noted London Monument.
The monument erected in London
between 1677 to recall the
great fire was original with Sir
Christopher Wren, but was not car-
out according to his intention.
He proposed that bronze flames
should issue from the loopholes of
the shaft and that the top should
carry a phoenix to represent London
risen from its own ashes. Sir Chris-
gave up the phoenix because
he feared the pressure of the wind on
its outstretched wings, and argued
that the meaning of the emblem
would be lost at so great a height.
He then proposed a colossal statue of
Charles II. for the crowning piece,
and found that monarch by no means
averse. For some reason the plan
was changed and a bronze vase from
which bronze flames issue was hoisted
to the perilous height.
Metal for Bridge.
Another most valuable series of
investigations in regard to the
metal best adapted for the
of bridges has been made by
the Austrian Society of Engineers.
Some two hundred and sixteen
mechanical tests were made by the
committee having the matter in
hand to determine the quality of
wrought iron, of basic, Bessemer
and basic open-hearth steel, the con-
being that the latter excels
all the others in resistance to me-
attack and distortion.

The French lyric poet, Le

and enemies alike dreaded his

his wit that it required much
age to incur his dislike.
One of his literary contemporaries,
a lady, did not hesitate to rebuke
him. She, too, was a poet, and she
was indignant with him for altering
one of his odes to make the
agree with popular politics.
