THE WORLDS Fair.

Cardinal Gibbons Writes Letter Favor.
ing Its Being Open Sunday Afternoons.
CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-There is strong
and rapidly growing moral and religious
sentiment in favor of the repeal of the
Worlds Fair Sunday closing act. One
eminent divine after another is coming
out in favor of this liberal movement,
j. R. Thompson, secretary of the
Worlds fair Sunday Opening associa-
ton, has received the following letter
from his eminence, Cardinal Gibbons, OF
Baltimore:
CARDINALS RESIDENCE, Nov 25
Mr. J. R. Thompson: /et
Respected SRA quiet opening of the Chicago
fair next year seems to be most desirable
There are many who would be otherwise de-
prived OF the privilege of upholding what prom
1ses to be the event Of the century. The World s
fair will gather together the most wonderful
production of human skill and ingenuity, the
results Of the evoiutions and progress Of ages.
No one should be prevented from sec-
ing those works Of man, and every op-
portunity should be afforded. The
Sunday closing of this spectacle
would be very unfortunate for many
thousands of our countrymen who would be
tempted to spend the day in dissipation. In
their name would favor this opening Of the
fair on Sunday afternoons to evening with the
provision that oil machinery should be stopped
and all mechanical and laboring work that will
not be urgently necessary should cease. In thie
I do not see any desecration OF the holiness Of
the day; on the contrary, those who will visit
the fair on those days viii be surely inclined to
raise their minds and hearts to Him who In.
spired men to produce such marvellous things.
I am very faithfully yours in Christ,
]. CARDINAL GIBBONS

A STRONG LETTER.

Another strong Third party man
from Eastern North Carolina comes
out for Cleveland in the following
manly letter:
Mr.. T. w. FENNER,
Scotland Neck, N. G.
DEAR SIR doubtless you will be
surprised to receive this letter. But
/ write it for you to make it known to
my friends and acquaintance that
am yet with you on the main issues of
the day.
I have just read Mr.. Cleveland's let
ter, and the manliness and purity of
it's contents have made the balance so
much in his favor / have decided to
give him my support.
/ have come to the conclusion that
this is not the time to make any di-
vision among our people, however just
their seeming claims may be.
Do not abuse any of our people or
get excited in your discussions with
them, but let us work quietly and
earnestly.
would have no one to think that
the scourge of the party lash has driv-
en- me to this conclusion, but it is
from sober and earnest thought on
the subject.
have left all selfish motives out OF
the question, and after arriving at
this conclusion / am proud to enroll
myself as one of Cleveland's support
ers. Yours truly,

SWUNG into ETERNITY.
Charley Reynolds and Merrim0n Head
en- Hanged
In THE PRESENCE OF A Big CROWD,
The Hanging Was Made Public-The
Doomed Men Were the Murderers
of the Aged Man, Solathael Swain
One Was a White Man and the
Other Was olored Man.

GREENSBORO, Oct. 2O.-Just two
months ago this community was
shocked to hear of the horrible and
unnatural murder of old man Sola-
thael Swain while peacefully doing in
his chair on the front porch.
The assassins had crept steathily up
to where the old man slept and put
ting the pistol close to his temple
fired, killing him instantly.
In a few days the murderers were
captured with all of the money they
had stolen and both confessed their
crimes. In less than a month they
had been tried and condemned to be
hanged, and today they paid the
penalty for taking human life
The white boy, Charles Reynolds, has
appeared utterly Indifferent all along,
caring nothing about his approaching
doom. The negro, Judge Merrimon
Headen, on the other hand, has been
entirely unnamed and trembles like
an aspen whenever spoken to.
AT II O'Clock the Guilford Grays fol-
lowed by Sheriff Cook and the two con-
demned men arrived at the site of the
execution. The guards and prisoners
Immediately mounted the scaffold.
The white boy, Reynolds, was asked
| II ne WlShed TO say anything, but re-
| piled ina the negative. The negro,
Headen, made a short speech, warn
ing his hearers to avoid bad company
and to try to meet him in heaven.
Just before the black cap was ar
| ranged, Reynolds requested his broth
| er, who was in the crowd to come and
tell him good bye: up to this time, he
had shown utter Indifference, but as
his brother responded to his request
he broke down completely and shed
| tears.
The two felons were then placed
side by side and tied. At 1:27 Sheriff
| Cook knocked away the trigger and
the two bodies swung into space, and
two souls were hurled into eternity.
In just nine minutes Headen's pulse
ceased to beat, but Reynolds did not
entirely cease for twelve minutes.
The crowd present was estimated at
from 5000 to 10000.

GROGAN ON TRIAL.
Indicted for Forging the Name O.
Wesley James.

John Grogan and his two sons,
James and Frank Grogan, were put on
trial at Stokes courtlas bweek to. ans
wer the charges against them for the
murder of Wesley James, few months
ago near Walnut Cove.
The prisoners lawyers are Judge
Hairston, Mr.. Anderson, of Virginia;
Watson and Buxton, of Winston, and
A. M. Stack, of Danbury. Clement
Manly, of Winston, and A. FL. Joyce,
of Danbury, are prosecuting for the
State.
DR.. Venable, professor of chemistry
at the University, stated that he had
discovered no signs of poisoning in the
analvsis made of the stomach of Wes-
ley James.
Upon his evidence the prisoners
were cleared of the charge of murder.
The father was thereupon set free,
but the two sons were called upon to
answer another Indictment for forg-
ing the name of the dead man to a
paper which they purrorted to be his
will conveying all of his property to
the two brothers.

ACOLORBD SCHOOL TEACHER
Says the Republicans are Not the
Negroes Friends
his EYES HAVE BEEN OPENED.

He Says That the Negroes Have Voted
With the Republicans for Twenty
eight Years and Got Nothing for 1t
He Advises His Friends to Con-
slider Matters Before Voting Again.
G. W. McIver, a colored school
teacher, told SENTINEL reporter
that his eyes have at last been
opened to the fact that the Republi-
can party is no longer the colored
mans friend. He also says that it is
high time that the eyes of the colored
voters generally were opended to a
realization of this fact.
He thinks that the colored people
must look to some one for protection,
since the white Republicans have
said that they can do better without
the 'sniggers" than with them.
''It stands us in hand" he said, "to
resort to some other help for refuge.
It will be much better for US, as col
ored men, to stand to those who have
always stood by us and protected our
rights. The colorcd man has beeh
made tool of for % years, but why
should we be fools any longer? What
have the Republicans done for the ne
groeS of the South since the war? To
whom have we looked for living
These are plain, practical questions.

can do without the d negro, why
the d negro can do without them,
