A special to the Charleston News
and Courier, from Augusta, under
date of 18th, says: The whole of
Georgia will be startled tomorrow
when it becomes known that the old
feud between Maj. Chas. McGregor
and Mr.. j. M. Cody, of Warrenton,
Ca, sixty miles from Augusta, was
ended today by McGregor killing
Cody this morning.
Mr. Jones meetings closed in Dur
ham Sunday night. The people of
that place gave him 81 800. Julian
S. Carr headed the list with $500. 1t
is estimated that between 500 and
1000 converts was the result of Mr.
Jones' meetings at Durham. Ar
rangements will be at once begun for
the erection of the tabernacle in
Charlotte where he will preach next
April.
John E. HI. Feeks was killed Satur-
! day in New York by electric wires, in
sight of hundreds of people, but none
could give him assistance. While
climbing a post to cut dead wire
his arm came in contact with live
wire, which so shocked him that he
fell upon other live wires in such a
way as to form a perfect connection.
The sparks were seen to fly out OF
his right arm so fast as to appear
almost like blaze. The neck of the
victim was burned nearly through.
This accident produced cry from al
classes that the poles must be taken
down.

LATE WASHINGTON NEWS.

From TIE Sentineps Regular Correspondent.
Senator Ransom of North Carolina
is keeping up the reputation he has
id with the administration. He be-
ieves that it pays to be consulted
about the Federal officials to be APP
pointed in his State, even if they
have to be taken from the opposi-
ton. If he cannot name the men, he
can at least prevent an unusually
bad mans being appointed. 1t was
just after visit of Senator Ransom's

A. Cook to be U. S. Attorney for the
Eastern district of North Carolina.

through the South.
The fall term of the United States
Supreme Court was crowded to-day.
The only vacant chair was that of
the late Justice Mathews. Immedi-
ately after the court met it adjourn
ed to pay the usual visit to the Pres
ident. 1t was generally supposed
that the vacancy on the bench would
have been filled before the term be-
gan, but President Harrison seems
to lack the nerve to appoint Attor-
ney General Miller in the face of the
opposition to him among the leaders
OF his party, and so far the opposi-
ton cannot agree on a man for the
place.
Representative Breckenridge, OF
Arkansas, says that SO far as the
Democrats shall need leader on the
floor of the House, ex-Speaker Car
Isle will assume that function.
Hon. Samuel J. Randall, who has
been reported as being very ill at his
| Pennsylvania home, has arrived al
his Washington house. His health
while not good, is such that he car

session of Congress.

THURSDAY MORNING. OCT. II, 1889.
THE LEXINGTON LYNCHING.

The SENTINEL before this has ex-
pressed its condemnation of lynch
law. We look upon mob execution
in most cases as crime. 1t is a men-
ance to the sovereignty of the State,
and it deprives the people of the
rights guaranteed to them both by
the American constitution and that
of North Carolina.
The epidemic of lynchings that has
recently swept over our State discred-
its us in the eyes of the outside world
more than could the dumb tongues of
a million of suppressed negro votes ;
more in fact than anything our cit
zens could do. Our good name is at
stake, and it is time for the MEN of
every community to take stand
against lynch-law.
If this disregard of law. continues
the life of no man who is even sus-
pected of great crime can be safe
and the meaning of law will be for
gotten.
There is one mitigating circum-
stance in the lynching OF Berrier.
His accomplish was not in sight when
the shooting was done, hence could
not swear that Berrier did the shoot
ing. His wife was the only witness
to the deed, and, under our laws, the
wife is debarred from testifying
against her husband. She is an in
competent witness.
From these facts it could be rea-
soned that Berrier might escape JUS
tice, but the conclusion is hardly a
fair one Circumstantial evidence was
too strong against him. Cluverius
was hung on far less evidence, and the
people of Davidson simply anticipa-
ted the certain result Of trial and
performed the hangman's duty, I'M
sanctioned by the law.
While the circumstances are some
what palliating, yet the people of Da-
wilson county have cause to be asham-
ed of their rash act.

THE BOYLE CASE.

In reply to northern paper charg
ing unfairness in the Boyle trial be-
cause the jury was composed mostly
of farmers and wholly of Protestants,
the Wilmington Messenger has some
pointed remarks which THE SENTINEL
takes pleasure in reproducing with its
endorsement. They are as follows:
"The jury was peculiar, and yet the
defense allowed it. we suppose they
we're all men of respectable charac-
tiers. 1t may not have been the best
jury for Boyle, and it is altogether
probable that prejudice against Ro
man Catholics may have existed in
the minds at least of some of them.
But for some reason the lawyers APP
pearing for Boyle did not challenge
them. They were sworn to find ac
eording to the law and the evidence.
Did they perjure themselves If the
Supreme Court shall believe that
there will probably be no difficulty in
getting new trial. But not being
lawyers we do not speak by the book.
"As to the finding of Boyle guilty
upon the evidence of one person, and
that an interested one-a party to
the trial, it does look like hard
fate. But has there ever been raper
convicted who was not conyicted up
on such testimony? A hundred men
have been hanged in the South and
indeed all over the country by Judge
Lynch upon just such testimony.
"The Southern whites have firmly
settled down upon this determination
that the man who assaults vir-
tuous, pure woman must die. North
ern whites may not understand this
Before the war the pistol and shotgun
stood guard over female chastity in
the South, while il the North lechery
wrought its ruin without fear or Zen
atty. Since the war the shotgun still
does DUTY, but the grape vine more
often.
GAS to the particular case of Boyle
there seems to have been some evil
dence that in some way mitigated the
crime. The young woman with Miss
Whitaker gave evidence that was not
challenged. 1t was of character to
make men pause before jumping to
conclusion. Then there was the adj
mission of the young woman assault
ed that showed improperly at least
The evidence of DIR. Hines, on the
other hand, was certainly very endan-
gering to the prisoner.
"a significant fact in connection
with the trial is reported at Raleigh.
Public sentiment is at least divided,
and among those who attended the
trial.
"If Boyle is innocent he will never
be hanged. IF he has not had a fair
trial the Supreme Court will grant a
new trial. If he is unjustly condemn
ed, the Governor stands between him
and death

The cold weather probably angered
the huge reptiles, for they were slow,

Suddenly one of them struck the
arm of the woman viciously, biting it
savagely and causing blood to flow.
The charmer was very much frighten-

SOMETHING ABOUT SHOES

Do you know what handmade
shoe is? Not She made all over
by hand sewing; that whould be very
clumsy, the uppers are cut by meas
ure of the foot in size, and stitched
by machine, the soles are cut and
the two put together by a skilled
shoemaker, or bench, with awl and
waxed end. Such work is expen-
sive, and is only done nowadays on
the best material. Much machine
work that looks like hand work is
said to be hand work. That, of
course, is false. Sometimes machine
work is said to be as good as hand
work. If that is so, why is it that
machine work is never used except
on poor material and hand work is
only put on good material? Our
shoes are priced according to leather
and good hand work. We handle
the Heiser handmade shoe for gen.
tlemen-price from $500 up-and
