In private letter from a patriotic
citizen of Moore county, we quote:

Franklin, N. c., March 2S.-At the
Democratic County convention resolutions
of instruction were adopted congratulate
ing the State upon the election of Hons.
Samuel l.. Rogers and Franklin Mcneil
as Corporation Commissioners, and in
structing the delegates to support them.
The following resolutions, offered by Mr..
j. Frank Ray was unanimously adopted:
Whereas; Richmond Pearson, in his
contest for the seat in Congress held by
the Hon. w. T. Crawford, has undertaken
to make political capital, and turn to po-
litical effect, the lynching of one Mitch
Mozeley in Macon county just before the
last election, and
Whereas, said lynching had no politi-
cal significance whatever, but was done
solely because said negro broke into two
houses in the town of Franklin, occupied
children, and committed a violent and
brutal assault at each house: the first
upon the wife of a prominent Republican,
and the second, upon the wife of minis
ter of the Gospel who was at the time
holding religious services in the Method
list church in Franklin, and
Whereas, said lynching was partici-
pated in by calm and deliberate citizens
of all political parties, and by both whites
and blacks, after thorough investigation
of the facts in the case and the negro's
guilt, therefore,
Resolved, That we denounce any eff
fort on the part of Mr.. Pearson, or any
one else to give this lynching politi-
cal significance as crime against the
people of Macon county, and especially
against these two good women, and a
crime equalled in barbarity only by the
inhuman and brutal assault of the said
negro upon these two HELPLESS women"

INSANITY WILL Be
TOM JONES' DEFENSE
His Trial Will Begin at $50
This Morning.
KILLED TWO; BURNED SIX
George Lee Also to be Tried For Muir
der on Friday.
KILLED TWO; BURNED SIX
SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS PROMISED
Reported That Evidence Has Been Discovered
That May Lead to Re- arrest Of Green
Hobby. Tri1ing Cases TAX
ing Up Courts Time.

There will be two murder trials in
Wake Superior court this week:
Tom Jones will today be tried on
the charge of killing Ella Jones and
her daughter Ida and burning their
bodies in their house with four young
children.
George Lee will tomorrow be tried
on the charge of killing his sister with
rat poison put in the food prepared
for breakfast for herself, her husband
and children.
The trial of Tom Jones will begin
this morning at 9:30 o'clock-imme-
diately after court convenes.
As the crime of which he stands
charged occurred only last week and
caused great indignation throughout
the county, it is certain that-the court
house will be packed with people anx-
iolls to hear the evidence.
The defence will be insanity.
Mr.. B. c. Beckwith is Tom Jones
attorney and Solicitor Pou will prose-
cute for the State.
1t is possible that in the George
Lee case, when it comes on for trial
tomorrow, there may be some sensa
tional developments.
These developments may result in
the re-arrest of Green Hobby. the hus-
land of the woman who was killed.
It is said that some new evidence has
been secured that points very strongly
to his guilt.
Just what this evidence is has not
been ascertained. except that the boy
George Lee win, it is stated, swear
that he bought the poison: bought it
for Green Hobby and told on the pre-
liminary examination, under the
threat from Hobby, that he bought it
for another man.
In addition to this there will be evil
dence from other witnesses tending to
show a motive, on the part of the hus-
band, for the crime, while the absence
OF any known motive in George Lees
case will be used for all it is worth.
The trial of this case, like that of
Tom Jones, will attract large crowd
In the Superior court yesterday only
cases of trifling mportance-police
court cases-were disposed of. Here
are some samples:
Sue Lindsay, Harriet Whitaker,
Will Brown and Louis Jones. all color
ed, for larceny. Sue got Z months,
Harriet ) and the others 4.
Henry Reavis, for assault, z months.
Ernest Bobbitt. the negro who forg-
ed an order for $1.25, months.
Joe Johnson, larceny, months.
ebay Bridgers, Lizzie Eatman and
Betsy Shaw fined 50 and 81, and costs,
for assault.
Will Solomon, months.
The Legislature ought to provide
some way for such cases to be disposed
of in magistrate courts. They could
do it as we'll as the Superior court and
in many cases better. and the counties
of the State would be saved an i'm
mense amount of money.
Running criminal court is an ex-
ceedingly costly business.
