CROWD AROUND THE JAIL
THE NEGRO PARKER HAD BEEN
SPIRITED AWAY.
MOB EXPECTED FROM HAW RIVER
They Are Coming, it is Said, to Lynch the
Rapist Andy McAdams. Many
Wild Rumors on the
Streets.

A telephone message from the News
and Observers correspondent at Dur
ham. last night at 1870 O'Clock, said
that great excitement prevailed there
and q lymching- perhaps a double one
was not improbable.
At 8 o'clock the Mayor issued a proc
lamation closing all bar rooms.
At IL o'clock there was a mob Of
several hundred people around the jail.
They demanded that the negro Parker,
who is alleged to have committed a
crane against an eight-year-old white
girl Monday evening, be delivered to
them. The jailor told them that he was
not there, but the crowd would not
leave until Il committee of five went
through the Jail and found thar the
negro had been secretly taken away
early in the night Large bodies of men
then entered the surrounding woods in
search of the negro.
When this announcement was made
the crowd dispersed, but at 1870 a
mob of fifty passed rapidly down the
street and it was reported that the
whereabouts of Parker had been dis
covered-that he was hid in the woods
nearby. under guard.
All this was street rumor. As was
likewise the report that crowd would
arrive ON the 1:40 train from Haw
River to lynch the negro. Andy Nc
Adams, who raped a folIr-year-old child
at Haw River several days ago.
The whole town was in Il efyer of ex-
element and our correspondent thought
il not at all improbable that there would
be one or two lynchings before morn
ing.
AT 2 o'clock another message came say
ing the report that Parker had been
found was untrue, also the rumor that
a crowd was coming from Haw River
turned out false The message added:

further excitement is looked for to-

ELEVEN NEW cONyICTS.
How Sheriff Hahn Fooled the Friends
of His Prisoners.

Eleven new conyicts We're yesterday
brought to the penitentiary. -Four of
them came from Lenoir county, in
charge of Sheriff Wooten-all negroes
for short terms. The other seven We're
brought from Craven by Sheriff Hahn.
Two of these are for ten years each, for
house-breaking; one for five years, for
stealing q boat and four for twelve
months for petty larceny
The Newbern Journal gives the follow
ing account of the departure of Sheriff
Hahn and his prisoners from Newbern:
Yes, Joe, Sly Joe Hahn, the sheriff
of Craven county fooled the crowd.
And this is how he did it.
after each criminal court session
there are sure to be one or more 'excur-
sionists," who have secured free trans
portation to Raleigh, through the kind
ness of judge and jury.
1.-THE fact that these 'excnrsionists'
have Sheriff Joe Hahns society as far
as Raleigh, and that they are left at the
resort known as the PEN in no wise
J lessons the interest of their female
friends here, who assemble N numbers
to give them the glad hand, shed a few
tears over their departure, and thus
make heroes of these negro criminals.
Their home coming means a wild re-
ception. with gifts of such things as ap-
peal to negro's stomach.
..Monday was first day after court, and
as there were several 'excursionlsts
bound for the Pen so there were two
hundred or more colored females at the
Atlantic and North Carolina depot, to
cheer the parting ones
but Joe came not, and after blocking
the railroad platform until the train left
to the serious annoyance of those who
had been at the train, the string OF re-
males left, with no kind words for Joe.
..Why did not the crowd of female
sympathizers know that freight tram
left in the afternoon!

CORN AND TOBACCO HURT
PROSPECTS INDICATE A SHORT
YIELD OF COTTON.
THE APPLE CROP A COMPLETE FAILURE
Much Tobacco Has Been Cut in the Northwest
Section ru ing the Week and the
Cures Have Generally Been
Very Satisfactory.

The Weekly Crop Bulletin, issued yes
terday by the Weather Bureau here, for
the week ending Monday, August 29th,
says:
Throughout the eastern half of the
State where sufficient rain occurred last
week the weather was favorable. Rains
fell on two days; the remainder of the
week was dry, warm, and sunny, and
enabled farmers to save fodder, pick cot
ton, and cure hay nicely. Over all coun-
ties west of Raleigh including the larg-
er portion of the State, the week was
very dry and hot. Charlotte reported
plenty of rain, but crop correspondents
in other portions of Mecklenburg re-
ported a continuance of droughty condi-
tons, and nowhere else in the west has
sufficient rain fallen. In all central
west counties drought is doing much
damage to late corn and tobacco; tur-
nipS and early SoWn oats are not coming
up; sweet potatoes, peas and clover are
suffering and pastures are failing rapid
ly. The temperature averaged nearly ,
degrees per day above the normal, with
high maximum records, especially in the
west from the 21st to 23rd. The latter
part of the week was slightly cooler.
Local storms with minor damage to
crops occurred in Arson. Alamance and
Wake counties.
"The condition of cotton has not ma
terially changed since last week, though
the amount of shedding has diminished.
Cotton is opening quite rapidly and pick
ing is becoming quite general in the
south The top crop is poor and pros
poets now indicate a short yield.
Late corn continues to be damaged
by drought in the west. The week was
favorable for pulling fodder, and large
quantities have been nicely cured.
Efforts have been made in the east to
save the fodder damaged by the storm.
Much tobacco was cut in the north
west section this week and cures have
generally been satisfactory; curing is.
being completed as rapidly as possible.
Hay making progressed fayorably;
pea-vine hay in eastern sections is very
fine, but it is not so good elsewhere.
"Rice was damaged very little by the
storm.
digging sweet potatoes has COM
menced, and samples so far taken appear
to be above the average.
Grinding sorghum cane lof syrup mas
begun.
"Turnips are not coming up well in the
west.
Fall blowing has been greatly delay
ed by the dry, hard condition of the
soil.
Special reports on apples indicate an
extremely poor crop. About so per cent.
of the reports received state the apple
crop to be nearly a complete failure, or
very scarce and only 5 per cent. report
good yield. In addition the crop avail
able is very inferior in quality, being
knotty, wormy, or otherwise defective.

HOOK AND LADDER PICNIC.
Last of the Firemen's Barbecues and
Outings.


The best barbecue yet was that of the
Hook and Ladder Company. / say best
net that the Hook and Ladder boys are
more hospital or jolly than the Capital
Company or the Rescue; not that the
day was any more suspicious or the
dinner any better served, than when the
men Of the other companies We're hosts.
In these respects all these little outings
have been very much alike.
But the Hook and LADDER men drew
their winning prize when they engaged
j. X. Watkins TO cook their barbecue
and make their Brunswick stew. He
is just the finest, and the dinner he pre-
pared was fit for a king.
Then there was John Mckee, busy
as a bee, looking after every detail, for
he was chairman Of the Committee on
Arrangements and the other members
of the company We're doing all in their
power to make everybody feel at home
1t was an ideal outing.
1t was at the usual place for these
little picnies, near the water-works
pump house, at O'Clock. The members
Of the Hook and Ladder company pres
ent were w w. Parish, foreman; X.
q. Upchurch, assistant foreman; Marcus
Croker, secretary; W. r. Macy, Fred
Doyle, Frank Mabry, John Mangum,
G. T. Snuggs, Bud Pool and John Nc

E. Lumsden, foreman of the Rescue
company; John X. Ferrall, foreman of
the Capital company; +. A. Brenig, as
sistant foreman of the Rescue; Il. b.
Balm, assistant foreman of the Capital.
Among the invited guests We're Mayor
Powell, all the city officers and eight
members of the board of aldermen; also
some former members of the company
and newspaper men.
After the dinner several speeches
were made The notable GRAFTON of the
occasion was by DR.. Sale, the sanitary
officer. who began by relating his early
experience as a fireman, quoted Cesar
referred TO Shakespeare, threw in a
snatch or two Of poetry and wound up
with the following eloquent peroration:

had been done him, and he was able

A FINE TOBACCO CROP.

Mr.. T. X. Bruner. secretary to the
State Board of Agriculture, has been
travelling through the bright tobacco
section selecting specimens and secur-
ing photographs for the Paris EXPOSE
ton. He says the crop this year is ex-
ceedingly fine, and the cures are very

ningham's crop is especially good this
year. He has 100000 hills of tobacco
under cultivation and is the largest to-
bacco farmer in the world.
