The Parties Who Made the Mormon

Elders Get Out.
From the Greensboro Record.
Some ten or fifteen citizens of ill
ford and Forsyth counties were in
dicted for trespass in going to the
house of Jonathan Ballard and in
ducing four Mormon elders to leave
the county.
The defendants, as soon as they
heard there was warrant out, came
right in at once, not waiting for no.
tice. No damage to person or prop
erty was done, though according to
the evidence of the defendants there
was a technical violation of lava
treSpaSS.
Two of the parties had guns and this
put it beyond the Jurisdiction of the
Justices. SO that they were bound over
to court.
w. p. Byuum appeared for the pros
ecution, Col. Boyd for the defence.
AS the latter well said, while it was
a technical offence, we believe it is
one that is justified by public opinion
and il will be hard matter to con-
vict them before a Guilford jury.
The evidence disclosed the fact that
these elders have been teaching,
preaching and baptizing at night-no

the prosecutions witnesses, member
of the Mormon church, admitted, un-
der cross-examinatiOn, that he was
gloriously drunk on the Fourth of
July and had to be hauled home in a
mule cart.
There were some amusing incidents
in the examination. Col. Boyd asked
if Mormons did not preach that their
sect would occupy all the offices in
heaven, while other denominations
would be privates, but the witnesses
didn't seen to know.
However, this is what their Book of
Mormon teaches. Another member
said he honestly believed that Joe
Smith found golden plates buried in
the ground up ia New York State,
containing the Book of Mormon.

Mysterious Rocks.
From the Chatham Record

TOIl tile CudtDdI1 Il6COTU.
There has recently been a good deal
of talk in the southern part of Cape
Fear township about some rocks that
most mysteriOusly fell in house on
the old Jones farm, on the western
side of the river. 1t is said that rocks
would frequently drop In a certain
room in the house, and no one could
tell whence they came. They would
fall apparently from the ceiling, and
yet there was no hole or opening in
the ceiling. So frequent and mysteri-
Gus was the falling of the rocks that
people began to think the house was
haunted, and curiosity carried many
persons to see it. Finally 1t became
suspected that, as there was some
contention as to the possession of the
house by two families, these mysteri-
Gus rocks might be shrewed scheme
by one of the families to get rid of the
other, and after this suspicion was
aroused the falling OF the rocks
ceased.

WILKES Is REPU UBLICAN

of That Fact,

When the County Commissioners of

kindly assist the commissioners and
appeared before the Board with full
list whom they wanted appointed IN
the s'interest of honest elections" in
the county OF Wilkes.
The Chronicle says: wilkes has
been going from 400 TO 800 Republican
as long as we can remember, and it is
an incident rather worthy of note that
the transported ssaristocracy, feel it
incumbent upon themselves to inform,
by application, the old veterans who
have borne the heat and burden of the
day and kept Wilkes in the Republi-
can ranks, that they have been carry
ing on fraudulent election. IT a Re-
publican majority is a sign of fraudu-
lent elections, perhaps Brer Mott will
not be haunted with the awful idea
