A LYNCHER FOUND.
The Taney Ccnnty Case Being Cleared Up
George T. Friend Identified as the Man
Who Committed the Deed.

| -George 7. Friend Identified as the Man
| Who Committed the Deed.
| SPRINGFIELD. Mo-, Nav 12-George T.
Friend, fancy county Bald Knobber,
| is In Jail here as the man who murdered
Deputy Sheriff Williams, of that coun-
I ty, and Milton Everett, his brother-in-
law, is also under arrest, having con-
fessed all that he knows concerning the
brutal murder of Williams and the
lynching of John Bright in fancy coun-
ty. Excitement is at fever heat.
Yesterday morning Deputy Sheriffs
Brown and Owen arrested Milton Ever
EFT, aged 30, on charge of completely
in the murder of Deputy Sheriff Will
Jams, of fancy county, but the facts
have developed slowly and on compar-
alive meager outline of the circum-
stances, which led to the capture.
Everett came to the city Saturday and
took room at the Campbell street
wagon yards, Stones boarding house,
and on that evening he approached w.
j. Meshew, who is a detective, and
asked him if he was his friend. Meshew
said he was a friend to all working
men, and that night they slept in the
same room. Mr.. Meshew said that
Everett talked in his sleep and cried
out:
stop, George, don't shoot him"
Everett confessed to Meshew the
next day that his brother-in-law, George
I. Friend, had shot Deputy Sheriff Will
liams in fancy county on the occasion
of the recent lynching, as he stood by
him when the shot was fired.
This confession was also made to
Mrs. Ellen Horne and to her daughters,
Mrs. Laura White and Mrs Julia
Adams.
Everett was, as previously stated,
captured yesterday morning. He was
on his way to the state of Nevada, SO he
said, to get away from the Bald Knob
bers.
He had been on the stand already,
but very little could they get out of
him, as he had been warned not to give
any evidence, and he fears that if he be
carried back he will be lynched for
'giving the matter away"
Justice Chinn sent Everett to jail
without bond and presently thu broth
er-in-law, who had come into town
with load of produce. was captured by
Deputy Sheriffs Brown and Owens and
also consigned to Jail.
Just what disposition Of the case will
be made remains to be seen, but it would
seem that the testimony of this man
would be of some inheritance. His
brother-in-law, Friend, is GO years of
age

Ii presenting the gold fire.
mans badge to Mr.. Bradsher
last evening Mr.. G. b. Green
took occasion to say that he
hoped to see the time when
Durham had a paid fire depart
ment.
This is q thought worthy of
consideration by every citizen
of Durham. Our fire boys are
now volunteers. The compan-
les here do excellent service
without reward or the hope of
reward. They are vigilant and
quick, and we have a depart
ment as efficient as any In the
State. The record of loss by
fire in the past two years is
comparative small. The boys
expose themselves to danger,
and in many instances they
have had their clothes ruined
or more or less damaged. When
they give their services free
they should have remuneration
for their losses. 1t would en-
courage them and stimulate
greater and more vigilant Of
forts.
There Is enother. point about
it. With a good fire depart
ment. that eopes with the
flames like ours, a just demand
can be made upon the the insur-
ance companies to bring down
the rates Of insurance. If our
people, the property. holders,
will work hand in hand with
the fire companies, this can be
brought about. But IN the
meantime give all possible Ell.
couragement to our firemen and
you will see where it pays in
the end.

The Danyille Times tells of

The Danyille Times tells Of
d farmer who, two years ago,
bought a tract Of land IA miles
from Danyille (265 acres, and
last year he made l25 barrels Of
corn, so bushels of wheat, a
crop of tobacco which sold for
upward of $500 Besides all
this, he sold vegetables to the
amountof $500. Even this enum
GRAFTON doesn't include all that
he sold off of his land, fruit, for
instance. This shows what can
be done by a man Of sound
judgment and energyone who
raises q variety OF crops and
works.
An exchange says the rea.
son some editors are always poor
is because they are not mean
enough 10 get rich. In order to
ret rich it is only necessary to
trust nobody; to befriend none.
to get everything and save all
you get; stint ourselves and
everybody belonging to us; to
be friend to no man and have no
man for our friend; to heap in
terest upon interest, cent upon
cent; to be mean, miserly and
despised for some thirty years,
and riches will come as sure as
disease and disappointment.
And when pretty near enough
wealth is collected by a disre.
gard of the human heart at the
expense of every enjoyment
save that of wallowing in filthy
meanness, death comes to finish
tho work. A country editor
prefers to remain poor, live hap
py and die happy.

QUERIES:

Why is it to your interest to
have your prescriptions filled at
Michaels & Co.'S:
BECAUSE they have no
d physicians to rely upon in
case Of accident and therefore
win be more careful to fill just
as written, knowing the physi-
clans are very exacting when no
pecuniary interest is at stake.
Dut why is it best for Physi-
ID clans to have their pre-
scriptions filled at Michaels Il
Co.'S!
BECAUSE it frequently be.
Dcomes ne .essary to change
treatment i'm the case before but
little Of the medicine last pre-
scribed is used-thcn the multi.
plicity of prescriptions cannot
be chargeable to the pecuniary
interest of the physician, as
there is no doctor connected
