THE DEWEY MONEY SUIT.

The suit brought by Admiral
Dewey against the Government
tor the money due him and his
crew for the victory in Manila
Bay has been decided against
the Admiral. His claim was that
the force opposed to the Aneri>
can fleet was vastly superior to
it. and that taking the shore
batteries into consideration, the
force was so large that the men
who did the fighting in Manila
were entitled to the double prize
of $500 per fighting man in the
opposing force, instead of the
regular allo vance Of s1oo per
man.
The statute provides that the
United States shall pay $Ioo for
every man on board an enemy's
ship at the commencement of an
engagement which shall be des>
troyed OF sunk during the battle
if the ship is of inferior 1olce.
and $500 if the ship is of supe,
rior force.
The United States Coult of
Claims. in Washington, however
maintains that the ships opposed
to Admiral Dewey, their equip
ment and guns, and the force of
men manning them, were in
ferior to those of the United
States, and therefore it was i'm
possible to grant the bounty
applied for by the Admiral.
The court, however, stated that
with the land batteries included
there was no doubt that Admiral
Dewey's force was considerably
overmatched. It regretted, how
ever, that the statute took no
account of land batteries, and
that the court had therefore no
right to do SO.
The counsel for the Admiral
will appeal the case to the
United States Supreme Court.
It is said that under the pres
sent decision of the court the
Admiral's share of the prize
money will be a little over

HANGING AT NASHVILLE.

A 1:1o o'clock on Wednesday
of last week at Nashville, N. c.,
the drop fell and sent two souls
into the unknown beyond, to
stand before their God on the
charge of murder.
John Henry Taylor, aged %,
and Robert Fortune, aged Fl,
paid the penalty for the murder
of Robert Hester, one of Nash
county's most highly respected
and esteemed citizens, about one
mile from this city On the 24th
of Dec 1899
They both confessed their
guilt. one at the trial, and one
Wednesday night.
At 12:45 the condemned men
were marched from the Jail to
the bottom about 50 or IS yards
in rear of the Jail, through
drizzling rain to the scafold.
They showed no signs of fear,
but with a firm step and head
erect thew marched to their
doom.
When upon the scaffold Rev.
II. A. Hum bic read the 23rd
Psalm and offered up a most
beautiful and eloquent prayer
for the souls of the condemned
men, after which Taylor made g
short speech, and said he and
Fortune killed Mr.. Hester, and
their punishment was just, as
they deserved it, and said he be-
lieved the Lord had forgiven
him, and that he was going home
to glory, aud that he had no
hard feelings toward any one,
but wanted them all to meet him
in Heaven. Taylor also con-
fessed to another murder in
Weldon. Lawrence Jack son,
colo1ed, was murdered III Weldon
on Dee. 18th, 1899, few days
prior to the Hester murder-he
said he was gully of that crime
also, and to let no one be punish>
ed for it-he was the guilty one
but gave no reason for the kill>
ing of Jackson. We learn that
Taylor's father and an uncle
were both hung for murder, So
we expect he thought he would
keep up the family reputation,
an SO he was a wholesale mur>
derer.
At 1:4o the drop fell. Both
their necks were broken Fort
une died without struggle at
1:14; Taylor struggled foi few
seconds and expired at I:IS>
They were pronounced dead
and cut down at I:45, and their
bodies turned over to their
friends.
Thus for a few paltry dollars
three souls passed to their
maker: one by the hands Of the
robbers and murderers. two by
the hands of the law.
The crowd was estimated at
about 5000 people, and. consid-
ering the size, were very orderly. |
There was some talk of the
negroes trying to interfere, but
everything passed. off very quiet
ly.
This is the only hanging that
has occurred in Nash county for
over 50 years, which speaks we'll
for the people of the county
Argonaut.

Specimen of North Carolina
Journalism a Year Ago.

|
teresting article on an old pape>
published in Raleigh nearly {
century ago.
Says the Home:
A lady friend has presented II:
a copy of the Raleigh IN. c.,
Star of date November 9, 1909
The paper is dingy with age
but is a decidedly interesting
memento of that era. It contains
two stirring letters from the
English statesman, VIM. Cobbett
addressed to King George on the
subject of the war with France.
In one of the letters Goblet
made this prediction "The
time is now fast approaching
when this kingdom will have
single handed to contend for its
independence, and that too
against all the rest of Europe,
under tie sway of the Emperor
Napoleon.' His prophecy was
ed incorrect in one particular, as
all of Europe finally united with
England against Napoleon, and
accomplished his overthrow.
The historical student will re-
call that year later (1S1o) Cob.
bett was sent to prison for two
years On account of his satires
against the British government.
On the third rage is given a
list of United States war ships
then in commission. One of them
was the battleship UNITED
States" under command of Capt.
Decatur, afterward Commodore.
He entered the war of 1912 in
command of the ship. Another
was the battleship "Wasp,' with
Lieut.. Lawrence in command.
This officer was afterward
promoted to the command of
Chesapeake, and fell mortally
wounded in the fight with the
British frigate Shannon in 1913.
His dying words, Don't give up
the ship,' made him famous,
and a handsome monument was
erected to his memory in Trinity
Churchyard, New York, where
his remains were buried. There
were only thirteen war vessels
in commission according to the
list given.
The paper contains an adver~
tisement, OF a runaway slave,
and another advertisement of
the committal of a captured run>
a way slave to Jail to await
Identification by the owner.
There was no local news; it
was altogether of a general and
foreign character. Some of the
American news bore date of
the preceding month of October.
"The Latest News from Eng
land" was INTRODUCED with this
statement: "From papers re
ceived at tie office of the Nor
folk Ledger by the ship, Pow>
hatan, "A days out from Ply
England
A letter dated July 20, more
than three months old, gave an
account of the battle of Tala-
vera. This was the battle in
which Sir Arthur Wellesley with |
10000 English and German
troops and $4,000 Spaniards de-
feated $4,000 veteran French
troops under Joseph Bonaparte. |
An item that will illustrate
the slow transit of news at that |
day reads "a vessel has arrived |
at Philadelphia from Touingen,
which she left the 4th of Sep
tember, when it was not known
that peace had been concluded
between France and Austria,
ergo, the news from London of

House. about one-halt of the Senators, 1

bounce was from the Governor of the

that the Governor of a great common
wealth should get down in the dirt Of poll
