DIDN'T INTEND FOR HIM TO RUN
A Prisoner Loaded Down with Irons and
Guarded With a Gun.

One conyict-a negTo-was brought to
the pemitentiary from Sampson county
by man named Bodenhammer. The
convict was harmless looking mulatto
OF medium size, but to judge from the
way he was tied and guarded one would
have Thought him a most desperate
character and certainly guilty of moth
ing less than murder The man could
hardly walk, he was so loaded down with
irons.
There were handouts upon both his
ankles and wrists. Then his arms were
tied behind him and a strong rope tied
around his waist. Bodenhammer held
to the end of this and walked behind the
much manacled man, as if he were dEiving
a vicious bull. Behind Bodenhammer
walked young man with a double barrel
shot gun.
I was curious to know what this man
had done to merit such treatment. In
quiry revealed the fact that his crime
was nothing worse than stealing some
thing of very small value and that his
sentence to the penitentiary for a short
term. Bodenhammer explained that,
as for himself, he was neither a sheriff
nor a deputy. Perhaps this accounts for
his harsh treatment of his prisoner.
Let MS hope any way that it was ignor-

THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
Long, Full and Free Discussion About
The I1ease-No Action Taken.


The Lease-No Action Taken.
1t is understood that at the Democratic
caucus last night the lease question was
very fully discussed, but no action was
taken binding the members TO vote either
one way or the other ON this bill.
This is probably as dt should be.
If the thunders that are heard coming
,lp from the offices of nearly every Dem
ocratic editor in the State; If the mutter-
ings of the people that are so distinctly
heard from every section OF the State; IF
the bare fact that $4,000 per annum
Of the peoples money is proposed to be
taken from them and handed over to
This rich corporation; il the appeals of
three generations OF North Carolinlans
crying aloud for schools and other ad-
vantages-if all these things fail to inn
press a representative Of the people and
call him to their rescue, caucus action
would have but little effect on him.

T0NSILITIS! TONSILITlS!!
CAN BE CURED BY USING
MRS. JOE PERSONS REMEDY

For long time my son was troubled
with some bronchial trouble, which,
every time he took cold, settled in his
throat and produced something like
tonsilitis The tonsils would enlarge
and swell so that he had great trouble
to swallow anything, and could take no
solid food Last spring he took half
dozen bottles of Mrs, Joe Persons Rem
edy, and gargled his throat with the
Wash, and it cured him-he has never
had spell since.

Keep Your Tags in Sight.

Friday morning a smooth game was worked OF the Fair Associa- tion and on a number of little child ren visiting the fair by rogue who is deserving of severe punishment. The pupils of tho free schools were all admitted to the grounds free, yesterday, and each was given tag to identify it as being legally ad- mitted. After they had dispersed themselves about the grounds q pro- fessional crook undertook to secure their tags. He approached crowd of tho children and said that as they were in the grounds he had come to collect their tickets and took the tags from them. He then went out on the outside Of the grounds and sold the tags for % cents each. The fellow is now in jail awaiting an ex- animation. 1t is important that the tags secured at the gate should be kept in sight, or complications may arise on fai ure to do so.
