BoYCoTT1NG POSTMASTER.
There is q remarkable state OF affairs
Laurinburg. ". K. Terry was recently ap-
pointed postmaster there. It appears that
| the appointment Is so offensive to The people
| that they will not send or receive their man
| through that office, but use Johns Hlll, 8
town some distance away, as their post-otlice.
| Not one fifth the mail which formerly passed
| through Laurnburg post-oflice is now
handled there. These facts are obtained
from PARTIES from Laurinburg who say the
people are furious ut the Presidents action
| in appointing Terry postmaster aud that II
| will make many Democratic votes.
There were no new developments in the

| make an attsmpt a. .ynchiug. There was
rumor that meeting would be held in re-
tired place 10y vigiants, but no meeting wa
held. sheriff Rogers said to-day that he dc
not anticipate an attempt at lynching. H'
did not think mob could possibly enter the
| jail unless dynamite were used. IL ls be
neyed here that a special term Of court vii
be held in a fortnight 10 try Boyle. There
IS an earnest demand for speedy justice
Public opinion is very bitter against Boyle
! and the excitement Is a. deep as ever. his
Whitaker, Boyle's victim, is better to-day
! though still suffering greatly.
