Some Good Licks for BelIamy

The Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy, the DEM
ocratic congressman-elect from this
district, returned yesterday from Raj
eigh where he went to attend at the
taking of dispositions IN Friday in be-
half of Colonel Oliver II. Dockery in
his contest case against Mr.. Bellamy.
It will be rendered hat on Friday
Ex-Chief Of Police John r. Melton, w.
j. Harris, Captain L.. H. Bryant, r
B. Russell and others were examined.
Mr.. Bellamy tells us that some splen-
did testimony in his interest was got
ten out of the witnesses on the cross
examination. Among other things Mel
ton testified to was that one reason for
the defeat of the fusionistS in New
Hanover was hat the populistS in
great number deserted the cause and
certain prominent republican leaders
turned traitors. r. 3. Russell, who was
republican chairman in Robson coun-
ty, testified that one cause of the de-
feat of the f~usioniStS in hat county
was that the CroatanS which had here
tofore been republican, went over to
the democrats.
Mr.. Bellamy'S attorneys succeeded in
having introduced as evidence the in
famous article in the negro paper, The
Daily Record, in which white women
were DETAINED. Also the letter Of Mr..
VIM. II. Chadbourn ito Senate Pritch-
ard, concerning the number of negro
office holders in New Hanover county,
and the interview had by The Mes
senger with Colonel F. w. Foster dur
ing the campaign.

A Wistrfal In the Lake City Case

Charleston, S. c., April pat 1915
o'clock this morning, the jury in the
case of the Lake City lynching report
ed it's inability t reach a verdict The
jury was out twenty-five hours.
In dismissing the jury Judge Braw-
ley was again moved to tears as he re-
ferred to the crime. The case goes over
to the next term of the court for re-
trial.
It is understood that the jury stood
five for the con viction and seven for
acquital when the last effort was made
to reach a verdict. When the first bal
lot was taken the jurors were evenly
divided. Later they stood seven to
five for conviction and then two men
changed for the side of the prisoners.
Judge Brawley delivered an impress
sive address to the jurors after hearing
their announcement. During the course
Of it he criticised lynchings most Sc
verely. He S i'd officials who appoint
ed Baker postmaster could not escape
a share of the responsibility for the
fearful crime that had been committed.
Continuing he commented upon the in
crease in instances Of violence that
had become conspicuous during the last
forty years and he urged upon the jul
rors to go to their homes and to i'm
press upon the people of South Carolina
the necessity of putting a stop to the
terrible crimes such as that committed
at Lake City. The white people of the
state, he said, now had the control of
affairs absolutely in their hands and
continued instances Of mob law would
be an everlasting reproach to them.
The prisoners were notified that they
would all have to give new bonds and
that the. case against them had been
placed on the docket for trial at the
next term of the United States circuit
court.

A Relic of Days Comedy

In former years there were in some
sections of this country many persons
who believed in witches and witchcraft.
If evil befell any person or domestic
animal in certain neighborhoods, the
person or animal was believed to have
been bewitched by some enemy. It
was also believed that if the image Of
the witch, whether a man or a woman,
was carved upon a tree and shot with
silver blllets the evil spell would be
removed. This practice prevailed in
the "Lucksburg," section of Sampson,
near where Mr.. J. r. McPhail now
lives. A relic Of it was discovered the
other day when a party of hands found
the image of a woman craven upon a
cypress rec which they cut down. I'M
bedded III the tree several inches inside
the bark were found several pieces Of
silver that had been shot there to break
the spell of the witch. when the pieces
of silver We're arranged, they proved
to have originally formed a dime of
the mintage of 1S50.-Clinton Demo-
crat.

The close was steady al the highest
