JUDGE LYNCH HOLDS HIGHCAR-
NIyAL.
Three Negroes Taken from the OK
ford Jail and Hanged.

ford Jail and Hanged.
Our citizens were startled Monday to
learn that three persons had been lynched /
near Oxford Saturday night. Tbey were /
all negroes, Henry and John Tanner. |
father and sen. confined in Granville |
county Jail for Numbering an old colored |
man named, Squire Grissom, last June,
and Alonzo Smith. waiting trial for bur-
glarizins and burning Mr.. James Thomas
sons dwelling house. The crime of the
Tanners was a most diabolical one, and
the community in which it was committed
was justly outraged thereat. That of Smith
was very grave ofense but not deserv-
ing Of the swift and summary Judgment
that was visited upon him. The Tanners,
if guilty, deserved the fate they met, but
| it ought to have come through the regular
| channels of the law. But there is the trou-
| BILE. Too many scoundrelS whose necks
| should be broken 60 unpublished through
| the slow process OF the law too long, or by
one means or another escape altogether. The
| laXity of the law, the various TECHNICAL
! ties by which the ends of justice are de-
feated, are more responsible for the lynch
ings that occur than anything else. 1t is
this that causes an outraged and indignant
people to resort to mob law. We do not
believe it was any disregard of the law.
but want of respect for and confidence
in it because Of too frequent abuse, that
caused those persons engaged in the affair
to take three criminals from the Jail in
Oxford Saturday night and hang them.
We do not believe the act was instigated
from any love of mob violence; it was
rather the promptings of love for law and
order.
The affair was horrible one and is to be
deplored, but the GOLD LEAF charges that
the law itself, or the ministers of the law,
are responsible for it. Leta people knoac
that crime aoiH be punished By the courts,
and they will not SO often take matters OF
this kind in their own hands
The particulars of the lynching are
=, briefly told. Capt. w. A. Bobbitt, com.
mander of the Granville Grays, writes:
The lynching took place about two
o'clock Sunday morning. The crowd
: which was composed of both whites and
blacks. came from the country and did
their work quickly. The keys of the jail
: were taken from a drawer in the sheriff
Office in the courthouse, and the JAIL which
e has steel cells, was unlocked. There wa:
only one man guarding the Jail, and he wa:
entered the steel cells very quickly, anC
e then quietly and easily removed the cul
s prits they wanted, The lynchers took thu
two Tanners and Smith with them to thu
. woods, near by, and hanged them. A pc
l liceman, who was up, was taken i'll charg
! by the lynchers.
9 The Granville Grays had been guardin:
. the Jail, but they were informed on tia
t 9th that their services were no 1onge
T needed. The military alarm was sounded
4 by the policeman after the crowd had take
. the prisoners and left town, but it was to
) late to do any good when the troops got t.
o the Jail.
q Tie bodies were quietly buried and al

~ pened.

A PATENT NosTRUM VENDER CONES TO
GRIEF.-Our citizens will remember PRO
fessor'' or doctor" MOrrell, who was
here with his negro minstrel show, selling
so-called medicine labeled Herbs OF
Life last spring. We see from the pa
pers that he has been arrested in Whining
ton, Delaware, for violating the law regu-
lating the sale of medicines, which provides
that they shall only be dispensed from
licensed stores. 1t seems that he got
license, but had no store, he giving one
horse minstrel show gratis and selling the
Herbs of Life and Clairvoyant Lima
ment from fancy wagon. The doctor"
waived hearing we are told and was held
for trial. An analysis of the liniment
showed that it is made of teaspoonful
each of turpentine and ammonia, few
drops of Oil of sassafraS, and about pint
of water. Each bottle of the stuff costs three
cents, and was sold for twenty-five cents.
Wonder how those of our citizens who
bought and used this vile compound feel
now He sold large quantities of the stuff
here, whites and blacks alike being will
! ing purchasers. Some people like to be
| humhugged and Henderson has her quota.

ABOUT PAYING DEBTs.-The Hickory
Press and C0rOtjnjGn touches responsive
chord in the breast of every newspaper
man when it says it doesn't benefit it any
to be informed that man is ''good" if he
doesn't pay what he owes. The bane Of
the newspaper business is the subscriber
who is good" but doesn't settle.-StGtes-
U5Lte Landmarks.
We notice some Of the papers have
adopted plan of dealing with those fell
lows who take the paper two or three years
and then refuse to pay for it, that may have
a good effect. They publish their names
and the amounts they owe. OF course 10
newspaper would treat an honest, hard
working man who manifests any reason
able disposition to pay his debts in this
manner. But when a person shows that
his intention is to dead beat the publisher
it is but right and proper to let the world
know what sort of man he is that others
NAV be warned against him. A man who
is dishonest enough to get around paying
one debt, will not pay another if he can get
out of it as we'll.

Democratic convention at ST. Paul,
gave utterance to the following manly
sentiment:

responsibilities, and ask the aid of each
and every Democrat of the state that
victory may be won. There have been
differences Of opinion as to the nomi-
nee, and some strife to maintain per-
sonal preferences. But this has been
with desire to promote the cause of
Democracy. I have not, am not, and
shall not be the candidate of any faction
of the party. 1 know but the common
cause and the equality of every Demo-
crat in the state. Isee but the straight
