THEY rREEERREp THE LASH.

Three Negroes Chose whipping In
stead ofGoing to the Penitentiary.
The two buck negroes that made
an assault upon the Sheriff Of Person,
in the Roxboro Jail, which was men
toned in this paper some days ago,
were indicted and convicted OF an
attempt to escape Jail, this week at
Roxboro. Judge Winston gave them
their choice of going to the peniten-
tiary or receiving 80 lashes, with q
buggy whip, with coat off. They
chose the latter punishment.
A Durham lawyer, with an eye to
business, suggested that an admission
fee of 25 cents be charged, which
was done and about enough was
raised to pay their costs.
There is another chapter to this in
cident of the court. Another Negro
prisoner, already convicted and sen
fenced to the penitentiary, petitionec
the Judge, in writing, to be allowed
a whipping instead Of going to thu
pen. The petition was granted ant
he was served as his fellow prisoners
and turned loose.
| The whipping post seems to hay'
| found favor in Person.

ANOTHER HERO IS DEAD.
Gen. Jos. E. Johnson Gone to the
Last Roll Call.

WASHINGTON, March 2S-Gen. j.
E. johnson, he famous Confederate
General, died peacefully at II o'clock
Saturday night, in his SD year.
Heart failure was the immediate cause
of his death. The Gen. caught cold
at the Sherman funeral and never re-
covered. DULY, however, during the
last few days have apprehensions been
felt for his condition, and though very
old, his friends believed his constitu-
tion woulh pull him through.
Joseph Eggleston Johnston was
born in Virginia in 1909, and was one
of the Oldest surviving graduates OF
West Point. When other generals,
who'have recently passed away, were
students at West Point, he was serv-
ing as an officer in the army. He
was in the Florida campaign, served
in Mexico, and on the plains, and
when the war for the establishment of
the southern Conlederacy came, he
cast in his lot with the Southern
States. He was every inch man
and a gentleman in the truest selse
of respecting the rights Of others, he
yet was a commander and his soldiers
knew it and his subordinates respect
ed him for his great ability and loved
him for his manly qualities.
His career as general was great
one, and his skill as a soldier, ranks
high. In the seven days fight ON the
Peninsula, while in command OF the
Army of Northern Virginia, his abili'
ty was displayed. He was there
wounded and Lee succeeded him.
Recovering, he look part in the cam
paign in Mississippi against Gen
Grant, and after against Gen. Sher-
man in that State. His wonderful
campaign during the advance of Gen,
Sherman on Atlanta has been written
about by scores of military critics
After the defeat of Hood in Tennessee
he again assumed command OF the
army in Tennesses and surrendered
to Gen. Sherman in North Carolins
and the articles of agreement were
signed between the two lannon's com
manders which brought the war to {
close
Gen. Johnston was loved by hi
men, respected by his opponents and
was admitted by all to be soldier o
merit and ability.

HARD TIMES.

1t is a well founded fact that
hard times and want of confidence
are closely linked together; in other
words, they go hand in hand. De.
positors get scared about the finan.
cial strength Of their bank and
make a run upon it unawares, and
the bank, not being prepared for
the onslaught.sis forced to suspend,
the people become panic-stricken
and lose confidence in everybody
and everything. Mr.. A has money
and needs goods, but he is afraid to
spend it, for fear he might need it
worse and could not get it, and his
money is withdrawn from circula-
ton. Mr.. B has money, but does
not need to spend it; he would be
glad to get the interest on it, but he
is afraid to let any one have it, lest
they might fail and he lose it; thus
his money is kept out of circulation.
Men who could let the banks have
money on long time will not do so
for the want of confidence; they
only deposit on call. The banks
have money, but are afraid to keep
it in the vaults for depositors, in
case they should make a run on
them; thus another large sum is
kept out of circulation and lies idle
in the vaults of the banks, While
everybody cries out HARD
TIMES, and each cry has ten
dency to increase the power Of
hard times to trigh'en the people
into frenzy. Start boy through
the for .st and frighten him with the
cry of wolf; then run yourself and
cry wolf at every jump, and the boy
is scared worse each moment Sc
works the financial stringency. All
for the lack Of confidence.
Remedy: Go spend your cash
with w. M. Christian, where you
can get the most goods for the least
money; and you will ger your needs
supplied, and will keep the money
in circulation

ANOTHER INDUSTRY
10 be Added to a Long List Already
Established In johnson City.
A Knitting Mil That VIII Give En-
ploymentto Three Hundred
People.

When Northern Enterprise cuts
Loose from its moorings, and starts
sailing South for a new and better To-
cation, it is ten chances to one that
johnson City will be the first point
touched.
Such was the case with a large knit
ting mill, now located at Hudson, N.
Y.
The company has gotten tired Of
buying raw material (cotton) in the
South, paying the freight to New
York, and then paying freight on the
manufactured articles back South,
1t isa fact, that the entire produc'
ton of the mill is sold South, and
well known fact, that the cotton must
first be shipped from this section.
Such being the case it does seem that
the sensible thing to do, is for the mill
to move nearer the raw material and
consumer, and save the enormous and
unnecessary freight now being inCurr-
ed.
That is just what this mill intends
doing. Last Monday night Mr.
MagifTord, representing the mill COM
pany, was before the Board OF Trade
and made a short sta tement OF what
his people would do, and what they
expected Of the town they moved to.
1t is to he the largest knitting mill
in the South, and will give employ
ment to three hundred hands or more
with payroll Of $4,000 per month.
The building required WILL be 1OC
by 100 feet, four stories and basement
to be erected OF brick. johnson City il
expected to give the land and building
and large portion Of the amount ha'
already been subscribed the Balance
can easily be raised.
An enterprise of this kind is not of
fered every. day, and our people neveI
allow a good thing to SO by. The!
have a penchant for just such enter
prises and always secure the goot
ones.

party were stockholders in the Con-
necticut Land Company which is now
spending thousands Of dollars in max.
ing streets and otherwise improving
their property just south Of the Carr e.
