formation of it, took the most guilty man
(Taylor) out Of Jail, and drove through the
country to Kernersville, where he confined
him that night, aud on Monday morning he
brought him to Greensboro, where he was
lodged in Jail. The prompt action of the
Sheriff prevented the lynching at Wentworth,
but only delayed the vengeance of an infurl.
ated people, for on Monday night oflast week.
the Sheriff of Guilford was informed that an
attempt would be made on that night by an
armed mob to take the prisoner from the
Jail and hang him. To prevent violence the
sheriff took the precaution to take Taylor
under guard from his cell to safe place near
Greensboro, where he was kept until Tuesday
morning and then returned to the Jail. The
excitement seemed to have subsided, until
last Saturday night, when, during the eclipse
of the moon, Taylor was taken from the Jail
by large number of disguised men, who
hanged him to tree in the woods near town.

THE WEATHER.

The drouth still continues in this immedi-
ate vicinity, and the crops are suffering great
ly for want of rain, none of any consequence
having fallen since the 9th of April Some
sections of the county, however, have had
rain since that date, and are not suffering so
badly. The late planted cotton is not up,
and but little bottom corn has been planted
in consequence of the farmers being unable
to plow their ground. The prospect of the
growing crop being cut short is alarmlngIy
favorable The oat crop, which is now being
harvested, is quite short-especially that SOW
ed in the spring. Wheat is generally good.
We have heard one observing farmer say
that the wheat crop is better in this section
than it has been since 1876. The onl trouble
is that not full crop could be sown, owing
to the severe cold weather at the planting
season.
Chester and Lancaster counties are in bet
ter condition than York, some sections OF

THE NEW ROAD.

Editor Of the Enquirer: see in the last
Rock Hill Herald. an article headed. "Let
the road be straight" and goes on to say that
Messrs. E. G. Byers, A. H. Barnett and j. +.
Workman laid off road between Rock Hill
and Ebenezer, but that the road does not
please the people.
l, for one, went and examined the ground
with Messrs Byers and Barnett, and found
that it was impossible to locate a road any
where else without too much expense to the
county, or without incurring too much dam
age to Mr.. S. M. Fewell. In the first place,
a straight road cannot be laid off from Eben-
ezer to Rock Hill without crossing as bad
bog as that at Miler's hill, which WAS the
only thing named in the commission to avoid.
We did that from the Landsford road to the
incorporate limits of Rock Hill, as directed,
with not more than three feet rise in the
straight line from one point to the other:
This shows that part of the people are pleased
at any rate and besides the only complaint
I hear of is made but by few. The work
we done was performed without favor or afiec-
ton to any body, but for the good of all the
people. j. F. WORKMAN.

Crops In the State.

Crops In the State.
-- From our exchanges we gather. the
following in regard to the crops in this State
ANDERsoN.-So far as our observation ex.
tends, the crop prospects in Anderson county
were never better Cotton and corn look
clean and we'll cultivated, and wheat has
escaped the rust. Oats are not good owing
to the dry weather. Everybody is hard at
work, and with favorable seasons henceforth
splendid crop will be gathered d.-Intelhgen'
GER.
OcoNEE.-Reports from all quarters come
to this Office that the crops of Oconee county
are larger and more promising than ever
since the war. The farmers have planted
more largely and are taking greater pains
with their crops. Small grain, thoug some
what injured by the dry weather, is good.
The cotton crop is fine. The stand is good
and the dry weather has enabled the farmers
to clean it thoroughly. Though there is much
complaint about the worm eating up the
young corn, yet this crop is growing rapidly
Courier.
CHEsrER.-Mr. William Stringfellow has
lust harvested, from sixteen acres Of land,
675 dozen oats. He estimates that the yield
will be three pecks to the dozen, making 5O6
bushels from the feld-an average Of BIZ
bushels per acre. Farmers from various
sections of the county report that the wheat
crop, from present appearances. will be good !;
some say the best they have made in several
wears. Oats sown in the Fall will yield
fair crop, and even the Spring oats have
stretched up" some since the rains OF last
eek-Reporter.
CLARENDoN.-Th late rains, though slight,
improve the oat crop wonderfully. General
Green" is putting in his strongest efforts, much
to the dismay of slow goers corn is back
ward cotton is generally, 6ne.-COr. Register.
ORANGEBuRG.-In the Bull Swamp Sec
tion there has not been rain sufficient to wet
the ground since the 9th of April last, and
at this time, cotton, which was planted from
the 4th to the 10th of May, is not up, owing
to the dryness of the earth. The crop is very
backward and inferior. Oats is failure.
Upon the whole the prospect is poor.
Lynch Law in North Carolina.
-On Friday night, the 3rd instant, be-
tween 9 and 10 o'clock, near the town of
Reidsville, Rockingham county, N. c., a
most heinous crime was committed by two
negro men-John Taylor and George Gum
upon the body of Mrs. Col. Irwin-a lady of
the highest standing, and one of the most es.
timable of Rockingham's daughters. The
particulars are about as follows: The two
negro men went to the residence of Col. Irwin
for the purpose of committing an outrage on
Miss Irwin, beautiful young lady, but, for
for her, she was absent at the Reids.
Vile school in company with her father.
The negroes finding themselves foiled in their
6endish attempt upon her, they assaulted her
mother, lady about 40 years old, in brutal

Col. E. NJ. Boykin, superintendent of i'm

immigrants without delay. Superintendent
Jackson promises to furnish certificate from
the New York Board of Health that all Of
the immigrants are entirely healthy before
they shall be shipped. The New York off.

In the Circuit Court at Barnwell last
week, Judge Mackey presiding, the grand
jury returned true bill on the indict,
ment against VIM. H. Pries,er for the muir
der of his father some time ago. The prison
er was brought into court for arraignment
He is spare built man, dark complexion
and eyes, black beard of short growth and
apparently Of about twenty-five or three years
old, though he seems to have suffered much
in his imprisonment. His wife accompanied
him into court. The Judge stated in open
court that she had been to him and said that
she was unable to obtain counsel learned in
the law for the defence of her husband thai
the family Of the prisoner was possessed Of
ample means, but that they we're using il
against the prisoner, having employed emf
nent counsel to aid the learned solicitor
That the prisoner came into the court sustain
ed by none but his wife, who stood by him
with true womanly devotion. She had asked
him, be said, to appoint counsel for he'
husband, and that as the law required him tc
appoint counsel in such cases, be would do so
and appoint counsel whose learning and
ability fitted him to be charged with matter
involving life and death. He assigned Rob
ert Aldrich, Esq, 20 defend the prisoner
Mr.. Aldrich accepted the appointment, and
the prisoner was arraigned on Thursday
morning and the record was given to the
jury on Friday afternoon. After three hours

THE ECLIPSE.

Those of our citizens who we're awake be-
tween IL and o'clock last Saturday night
witnessed the phenomenon of a total eclipse
of the moon. The eclipse began at about
11.40 P. M. and the totality phase occurred
about 1890. A. M. The sky was perfectly
clear, and from this locality the spectacle
could be viewed in all its grandeur. The
duration of the eclipse, from the time the
moon entered the dark shadow until it left it
was about three hours. During the period
of the total eclipse complete darkness pre-
vailed. 1t was rare and wonderful celestial
phenomenon, which the astronomers say will
not occur again until the 2lst of June, 1899.
PERSONAL MENTION.
We were pleased to receive call on Mon.
day from Rev. G. H. Wiley, Of Winston,
N. c., agent for the American Bible Society,
who visited YorkYille in the interest of the
Bible cause. Mr.. Wiley is ripe scholar,
an author Of some reputation, stands high
as minister in the Presbyterian Church,
and has devoted the best part Of his life to
the cause of religion and education. He held
the position of Superintendent of Education
in North Carolina from the adoption of the
system to the close Of the war--a period Of
several years-and under his fostering care
the common schools of the State we're indeed a
blessing to the people. At the recent COM
mencement of the State University of which
he is a graduate-the honorary title of D.
D. was conferred upon him.
YoRKvILLE FEMALE COLLEGE.
The commencement exercises of the above
institution are progressing this week. On
Sunday last the commencement sermon was
preached in the Presbyterian church by Rev.
George Howe, D. D., of Columbia. The
scriptural lesson for the occasion was a por-
ton of the second and the third chapter of
Ecclesiastes, and the subject of his discourse
was the 2lst verse of the third chapter, from
which he preached an able, eloquent and in.
structive sermon.
In the exercises at the College, Monday and
Tuesday were devoted to the examination Of
lie classes in the primary and the inter'nedi'
ate departments, and on Tuesday night a
musical entertainment and cantata was Civ
en- by the pupils under the direction of Miss
Sue F. Lowry, instructress in music. Yester-
day was devoted to the collegiate department,
and last night to exercises Of the Eukosmian
Literary Society. To day will also be devo'
ted to examinations in the collegiate depart
ment, and to night there will be music by

NORTH CAROLINA NEWS.

Frank Baker, deputy sheriff, was shot
and killed in Stokes county last Thursday,
by desperate named Smith whom he was
attempting to arrest. Smith escaped.
-McD. Arledge, formerly wholesale liq-
uor dealer in Charlotte has moved his stock
to Statesville, and will carry on the business
there
- The Gastonia Gazette of last week says:
"The depot and express office was broken
open last Wednesday night and robbed of
about SIG in cash. One arrest was made,
but the proof could not be established"
Under the working of the prohibition
law, the Observer says: "Charlotte is the dry
est, soberest town in this country. There has
been notable scarcity of drunken meu on
the streets since prohibition went into effect,
and the avocation of a policeman has become
decidedly monotonous,,".
North Caroliha COPPER and gold'mines
are booming. Baltimore capitalists have in
vested s1,500,000 III one company. The
mines are situated in Davidson county, in the
middle part of the State. six miles east of
Lexington, the county seat, and four miles
from Conrad station.
Mr.. Lawrence J. Haughton, of Chatham
county, who is engaged in working coal
mine at Egypt in that county, informs the
editor of the Farmer and Mechanic that one
of these days, when strong companies take
hold of those mines, coal will be delivered in
Raleigh, Greensboro, Charlotte and all other
connecting points, for $3.50 ton.
- The cotton mill, known as the Enterprise
Factory, owned by Cole, Lambert & Mofitt,
situated in Randolph county, on Deep river,
was burned to the ground on Tuesday night
of last week. The loss, it is understood, will
reach $4,000, and there was partial insur-
ance. The proprietors are active, industrious,
energetic young men, who are the makers OF
their own fortune, and they have the sympa'
thy of the general public.
- The Charlotte Observer of Sunday says
Information was received in the city yester-
day evening that Mr.. B. A. Withers, cti-
zen of Davidson College, committed suicide
yesterday morning about 10 o'clock, by shoot.
ing himself through the head. No cause,
except poor health, low spirits and an un'
healed wound received during the war, is as
signed for his selfdestruction, though it is
stated that several letters were found on his
person, some to individuals and one addressed
to the citizens of the town, which may reveal
the motive. These letters had not been ex-
amined at the time the news was sent to Char.
lotte, hence their contents are mere matters
of conjecture. The deceased lost an arm in
the Confederate service, and had never recov.
cred from the effects of the wound, which may
have been the cause Of suicide"
