AN APOCRYPHAL EVENT.

versary to be Celebrated, Nevertheless.
WAsHINGToE, d. c., May H..
e The North Carolina Congressional dele
cation left to-day for that State to par
ticipate in the Tooth anniversary of the
Meckenberg declaration of independence.
number of Representatives In Congress
from other States accompanied them
This declaration of independence pur-
ports to have been adopted at a conven-
ton of Mecklenberg colonists held at
Charlotte, n. c., May 10 and 20, 1915.
The Essex (Mass.) Register of June 5,
1919, published an account Of the declara-
ton which it copied from the Raleigh
Register, and thus it came to the notice
of President John Adams. He had never
heard of the adoption of such Il dcclara-
ton by North Carolina Il year be-
fore the Fourth of July declaration
of independence in l776, and he
ut once entered into correspondence
with Thomas jefferson as to the legit-
macy of the document. President Jeffer-
son replied that until its authenticity
was proven he regarded 1t as fabrlca-
ton.
Historians of later date gathered and
published evidence subStantlating the
truth of the document, and the LegisIa'
ture of North Carolina appointed Il com
mittee to investigate the matter who re-
ported that the convention was held and
the declaration adopted. More recent
Investigations TO establish its genuineness
proved unsuccessful and the question
stih remains open to controversy. The
so-called declaration held that the rights
of the citizens were invaded by Great
Britain, and therefore their political
bonds which bound them to the mother
country were dissolved. 1t declared FOR
freedom and independence, and under the
control of no power other than God.

Great excitement prevails, and Judge

several misses and young ladies last.
evening. Miss Alice Hanna, aged about
fifteen, was walking with Miss Stlie
Little near the Catholic Church, when
the black tend struck Miss Hanna on
tn forehead, cutting 4 severe cash and
iniuring one eye-bull About the same
time he assaulted n daughter OF Judge 5.
A. Gilbert, striking her in the side
with knife, which but for her steel
corset-stays would have proved fatal.
Miss Annie MCGOWAN was also assaulted.
An alarm was given, when our citizens
hurried out In force to hunt the rascal.
A policeman caught him, but he fought
so hard that he escaped, but not until he
was severely beaten about the head.
Later in the evening he was caught in
what is known as Taylor town, a negro
neighborhood, and carried to Jail, with
large crowd of people at his Heels crying
for his blood.
1t was doubtful if the feeling could be
Quoted without first seeing his life pay
the forfeit. If the people had more faith
in courts and juries they would not be so
ciamorous for violence. The city officials
done their best to quiet the multitude by
promising to prosecute to the fullest eX-
tent.
Atll:l5 p. III. the crowd had grown so
great around our frail jail that the
officers asked for fifteen minutes to get
the other prisoners out, as threats were
made to burn the building.
When the fifteen minutes were up,
more time was asked, but suddenly
man appeared at the door of the negro
fiend's cell with an axe in hand. few
ticks crushed the door. The negro was
pushed out, and before he reached the
ground his body was shot 80 pieces.
1t was thought that he was dead but
some of the mob soon discovered that he
was fatally hurt, and that most of the
! bullets shot at him had been poorly
aimed. A rope was secured over the poor
wretch's neck, but just as they were
| about to string him up some one
cut the rope, thus interruptlng proceed
ings. The officers managed TO hustle the
fellow back into the Jail, but they only
prolonged his misery, for he will certain
ly be either shot to pieces or hanged. At
80 a parley was held between the
leaders of the mob and the jail guards
and officials. Nobody has been hurt but
the negro. The officers did not carry their
resistance to the angry popuhce to the
point of using their revolvers, and the
mob seemed to realize that the officers
were only doing their duty in protecting
the prisoner so far as within their power.
About midnight the officers eXerted the
power of moral suasion on the people
| with such effect that the chances were
then in his favor. The most potent argu-
Inent used was the assertion that the
wounds he had already received would
prove fatal before morning. Whether
this proved so or not is not known, but
the mob seem to be satisfied with the
prospects.
