II shall reproduce plantation scenes

the older residents and that brings
those DAYS before the younger genera
tion as they cannot be brought IN

use language in writing of the negro
that is faulty, the dialect is unusual,
totally unlike the negro, and the negro
minstrel troupes give q miserable pct
ure of the negro, they neither act nor
sing like him.
"The writings of Joel Chandler Har-
ris and Thomas Nelson Page, irwin
Russell, and Mrs. Ruth McEnery stuart

nothing remarkable about it.
s.The young negro can never be a sue
cessful negro minstrel or delineator
of the old-time negro, for the reason
that the minute you black up negro
and put him on the stage he acts the
white man.

Mr.. cHAppELL ACQUITTED.

After Full investigation, the County
Commissioners Declare Him innocent
Of the Charges Preferred Against
Him.
The statement by our Durham cor
respondent to the effect that Marshal
Carroll had not kept his promise, and
was pushing things lively again was
based on report current in Durham
that the Marshal had sent one of his
deputies, discharged after the Durham
investigation, to Johnston county 70
do business in that county on guar
antee of 500 month to push things
in Johnston. MIR. Carroll said to a re-
porter that the report did him great
Injustice: that he did not know the
ex-deputy in question had gone 70
Johnston county until a few days ago
when he learned that he had gone there
with the idea of going into the lumber
business; that he had no commission,
and could not execute and papers. Yes
terday afternoon the eX-Deputy was IN
Raleigh, and stated that he had not
represented himself as deputy, ana
was in Johnston on private business.
There was another report that an
other Durham deputy, who had been
dismissed, had been re-instated. rms
is not true, says Marshal Carroll
Yesterday mornings Durham Her
aid, under the headline "A FRIVOLOUS
Case" states:
tBettie Gill, colored, was be-
fore u. S. Commissioner Ramsey
Yesterday charged with violating Uncle
Sam laws by selling whiskey without
license. She was given a hearing, but
there was no evidence to sustain the
charge. 1t was plainly another i've
ly'' case for which Marshal Carroll ana
his deputies are noted.
The warrant was issued by q COM
missioner in Raleigh. But Bette
skipped out and came up here and was
arrested by Deputy George Perry
Thursday evening, mention OF which
was made in yesterdays Herald. Mr..
Perry went down to Raleigh after the
two witnesses that were on the war
rant and returned with them yester-
day morning. 1t was thought that
there was 'gilt-edge" case against
Bette, but when it was examined the
whole thing exploded. 1t was moth
ing.
,The two witnesses said they were
together one time and got 10 cents
worth of whiskey from her. That is
| the evidence in full.
..She was discharged as she should
have been. Marshal Carroll, no doubt,
smiles when lie sees his deputies dis
playing such ''great activity as was
| shown in this case.
This article was shown to Marshal
| Carroll, and he desired the News and
| Observer TO state that he had never
before even so much as heard Of Bet.
| tie Gill; did not know that she had
been arrested; and that but for this
| publication the first knowledge thai
would have reached his ears would
have been when the deputy, after the
| trial before the Commissioners, sem
in his bill for making the arrest ane
bringing the party before the Com
missioner; and that the Herald hao
/ Jumped on him about a matter o.
which he knew nothing and for which
| he could not be responsible.
