MANLY ~ -. - . -.
To the Editor:
We notice in The Wilmington Mes
senger of July 21st, copied from The
News and Observer, a statement to the
effect that the Southern Pines people
had about given up the enforcement of
their stock law; that the officers of said
town were forced to resign as Don as
sworn in, at the point of a pistol, and a
number of those pistol-pointers were to
be tried at Carthage court this week.
We write to ask you to correct this
falsehood and Islander published on the
people who are known as natives, or
opponents of the Southern Pines stock
lay enforcement, as there is not a word
of truth in your statement.
Mr.. Moore, who was marshal or pO-
liceman for that town prior to the en-
forcement of the stock law, says that
he was displaced by the appointment
of the town authorities Of another Off
Ger, namely, Mr.. McIver. Mr.. McIver
says he resigned because of mistreat-
ment by the town authorities, n gave
as n particular a that on trial,
before the acting mayor, Of a case for
an afiray, the mayor took the evidence
of an ~ex-convict negro in preference
to his (McIver's.)
No other officers of said town have
resigned, so far as we have v e heard
Of, since the 1st of July last, when the
stock law was put in force.
There are no cases to be tried at
Moore superior court as you stated, and
only one warrant has ever been asked
for for resisting their stock law and
hat for a who cut down the
pen and toe her cow out. She was
arrested and tried before a justice of
the peace, and bound owe to Moore
county superior court, n her case
now stands there for trial. AS a mat
