- There5is Q big excitement through
out Burk county on account Of
double lynching which occurred d
Morganton early this morning.
Two murderers, Frank Stacl

When Stack was captured and placed
in jail some eight days ago fears VI ere
then expressed that he would be
lynched and an extra guard was
placed about the Jail to insure pro.
lection. A few days after Stack was
jailed Boone was placed in also and
then talk of lynching was again
heard and the guard about the Jail
was retained. 4
People began to think the feeling
was gradually dying out, but early
this morning two hundred masked
men silently rode into Morganton
and marching to the Jail demanded
the keys. This being refused, heavy
hammers were taken from buggy
which had been brought for the pur-
pose and the doors were soon bat
tered down. Only few blows were
required to break the locks on the
two cell doors in which Stack and
Boone were confined. AS the men
stepped i'll Stacks cell they found
the murderer lying on the floor NUT
tcrlng prayers. When commanded
to get up he made no attempt to do
so, but shook like leaf. Then two
men jcrked him to his feet and
started out with him. Boone was
being carried out into the hallway of
the Jail. There both, were brought
together and securely bound. The
two murdercrs cast glance at each
other but did not speak. When
bound they were carried and placed
in double seated buggy by the side
of two men. il
Then the march to death was be-
gun. The mob moved off slowly
and cautiously. They carried the
two murderers to railroad bridge
near by and after carrying them out
into the middle of the bridge a
twenty foot rope was tied in the
middle to a cross tic. Ono end of the
rope was adjusted about Stacks
neck and the other was tied about
the neck of Boone. The men were
then given five minutes to pray.
The loader drew watch from his
pocket and timed them. When the
time was up he gave signal and
both were pushed off the bridge and
their bodies were dangling over the
small stream. Some shots were fred
at them and then the mob dispersed
and quickly gallopped away.
Only Saturday morning OF last
week John Sigmond, colorcd, was
lynched in CASTOR County for rape.
Officers at Morganton are making
a special effort to capture the lynch.
ers. Warrants for many parties
have been issued and many arrests
are expected to follow. Public senti.
ment does not seem to justify the
iynching.

Some Cold Facts Set Forth BY tieS
Pennsylyania Democratic CoIored
II State League.


81 liARs:RFlspURd, y Pa. September
The executive COMMITTEE of the
Demo mocratio Colored State League
/ have been in session here to- a an, and
have issued an address to the colored
voters Of Pennsylvania: it appears
to the. colored voterlto regard thes
principles ef the parties rather t!si Az
the men whom the party bosses favor
with their smiles. II says the col.
ored man has not received the re-
cognition from the Republican, (
party that he deserved in return for
y .hliis ioys.i%l lasi tiiisailslli p. IS5addis s.
aWe have been hoodwinked and
cajoled, feted with promises, and
have have seen others reap the reward Of
our labors when the heat Of the came
paign was over" ~
The address reminds the colored
voters that their race is becoming
more intelligent and more industri-
Gus, and continuing, says; - rs sss|
"a foreigner entering our legisla-s q
tive halls and Judging from the rep j
resentatives of the people assembled, u

The address endorses the tariff n

cratic State Convention and Grover 5
Clevcland's administration, and apr
peals to the colored voters to as ast S4;S
thcir ballots for The y democratic can Ri

clusion the address says:
eve deplore the condition Of our 3
people in the South, and counsel &
them to ameliorate their condition
by allying themselves withith peo- n
pie Of their section of the country,
with whom their interests should be !,
identified, rather than stirup strife (
by adhering to the Republican party,
which either is unwilling orunable
to give them the protection guar
anteed by constitutional enactment
to all citizens. This view should be
apparent to every intelligent and d
thinking man Of our race, for during
President Cleveland's administration
the condition of our people in the a
South was far better than it is to- "a
day. And it is now time that ourss;
people should cease to be deluded by
the seductive promise of aid from the
Republican party in the North, and
take the condition of affairs on their
own hands. cease to be dead mart /;
yrs, and become living exponents Of n
a truly new South. We trust that
you will look at these facts cody and
impartially, and determine from the
systematic bad faith on the part Of
the Republican party, and show them
that we no longer will be heWers of !

Our next visit brings us to the
Fair View school, under the tutor
age of Miss Emma Lawrence, one of
Pickcns county's choice young la
dies. The rain was falling almost
necessarily on the day we paid our
visit to the Fair View school, but
the teacher was there amidst q
goodly number Of children, which
fact furnishes evidence of an abid-
ing interest on the part Of both the
teacher and the pupils. Our stay
and observation further convinced Ills
of the fact.
The Cancrun colored school, in the
same community, presided over by
one j. N. Miller, colorcd, was, we
suppose, drowned out on that day.
We waited some time at the school
house, but. neither teacher nor pu-
pills dared to venture out.
The regular fall examination of
teachers for Oconee County will be

accordingly.
Miss Ella Dcldy, native Of our
own county, and educated in our
common schools, is the teacher at
Bounty Land. people Of this
community are fortunate in their
choice of Miss Dendy. She has
classes prosecuting all the studies
required by law, except physiology,
hygiene and music. We have fond
rccollcctions of the days spent by us
in the Bounty Land school, under
the auspices Of the lamcntcd and
honorcd w. II. Cleveland, than

ing, have proved of more advantage
to us than any information acquired
through any other channel. The
common school rightly instructed
and disciplined affords sufficient IA
cilities for all ordinary business en-
gagcments. If proper care be taken
in the development Of the talents of
our boys and girls III the common
schools of our land, there will be
more prosperity, thrift, enterprise
and intelligence among our citizens,
more tranquility in communities,
more religion in our churches and a
higher degree Of excellence gone
