The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1901-08-08

New Orleans, Aug. 3-At Joe
Jefferson's Island, IBERIA parish, =
mob of white men flogged two
negroes, shot two others, one In the
neck, the other in the right shoulder,
and were about to lynch the negro
wounded in tho shoulder when
Sheriff Henderson arrived on the
scene and unassisted prevented the
lynching.
The trouble originated last
Wednesday in a row between whites
and blacks led by Tom Brown at
Delcambrie's bridge. A party of
whites started last night to whip
Brown. AS they approached Brown
opened fire ON them and fled to the
east of his house. The house was
riddled with bullets and Brown was
finally driven out with his three
nephews, two of the party bel 1g
badly wounded. Two of the neph-
ews were whipped and the mob had
tied q rope around Browns neck
and was hauling him up to tree
when Sheriff Henderson, who had
been notified Of what was going on,
appeared. Most of the mob aban.
doned the lynching, but some per
sisted. The sheriff threatened t<
arrest them and take them to jail
and they left. The sheriff know
the would-be lynchers and will try
| to have them arrested.
There was no lynching in Carol
county today although the mob q
lynchers, about 100 strong, visite(

searched high and low for sewers
negroes whom they have threatenes
to lynch if they catch them. The,

negroes, Belfeld McCay, his moth
er, Betsy MeCray, and his half-sister,
Ida McCray, Betsy's daughter, were
taken from the Jail at Carrollton,
Miss, today by . mob and promptly
lynched. The negroes are three OF
thirteen suspected Of being implicit
ed In the murder of Mr.. and Mrs.
R, T. Talliafferro, q white couple
living near McEnery, Tuesday night.
The murder was thought to be due
to the killing of a negro by Talliaf:
ferro in personal difficulty.
The murder caused much excite
ment yesterday and especially when
1t was learned that the negroes In
CarrOlltOn were well armed, and q
it was feared that they might resist
arrest. A posse Of ten white men
started on the trail of a negro sus.
pected Of the murder. He was ar.
rested and during tie day twelve
others were locked up, supposed to
be implicated in the crime to q
greater or less extent. Among those
arrested were John Taylor, Belfield
McCray, Bill Davis, Betsy McCray
and Ida McCray. There was a dis.
position to lynch the negroes al
once, but a mass meeting was held
in Carrollton in front of the cour,
house and Jail in which the negroes
were confined, Judge w. E. Stew
ems and District Attorney w. II
Hill made such q strong appea
against lynch law, the judge promis
ing to call the court in session .,
once to try the cases, that the prison
ers were not molested.
The advocates of more violen
course however, could not be helC
in restraint. Judge Stevens anC
District Attorney Hill began takinl
testimony Of witnesses this after
noon, but this only inflamed tn,
crowd as the testimony pointed
strongly to the McCrays as the mur
derers. They broke into the Jail q
$3.50 p. M, and three negroes-on,
man and two w0men-were taker
out, hanged and their bodies riddles
with bullets. The mob announce<
Its purpose Of lynching the tel
negro prisoners.
Governor LOngino had been warn
ed Of the danger, and left at once
going On fast train to Winona ant
then on switch engine to Carroll
ton; but the negroes had been lynch
ed before the Governors arrival.

FEMININE LOVE OF JEWELS,
ARes Have Been Daaxled
by Gerna. s. Is 5a5

Women of all countries have an in
herent love Tor precious stones, which
are supposed to exercise some sub
tie magnetism upon their natures.
Hence the latter-day craze for some
mascotic Jewel, survival of medieval
superstition. Upon impressionable.
people certain gems appear to WELD
a potent influence. Who has not lis
tened to weird tales of some heirloom
talisman which, when lost or stolen,
presaged the ruin OF noble housed
A person with vivid Imagination
might even believe in the theory of
the Pythagoreans, who formulated
the doctrine that inanimate as, well
as animate things are endowed with.
souls. Certain evolut ionists Of today
trace the origin of man back to
stones, asserting that in their ada
mantine bosoms they contain the all
pervading essence Of spirit, and that
the spark emitted from their crystal
line hearts is the revelation of the i'm
prisoned soul within 81, NJ
From time immemorial Jewels have
served as propitiary offerings at holy
shrines, as tokens of amity from one
crowned head to another, as mystic
messengers OF affection between dis
tant friends, as pledges Of constancy
exchanged between plighted lovers.
Men have bled and died, kingdoms
have crumbled, families have been
rent asunder, husband and wife part
ed over the disputed possession Of
some coveted jewel. Perhaps poor
Marie Antoinette, of ill-starred mem
DRY, might have kept her pretty head
upon her shoulders had it not been
for the unfortunate affair of the dia-
mond necklace. Women in all ages
have succumbed to the temptation of
gems. Faust bartered his soul for
the love of a woman; Marguerite sold
hers for gem-starred bauble.

A "STRENUoUS'' HEN,
This One Sat on Her Nest I'm a TT, reaY,.
ing Machine While 1t Was
-sMsgrra i'm Operation. .r2t-~

The grittiest hen in America lives
in Alsea, Ore. Her right to be called
brave has been tested, and, says the
Corvallis Times, she is not only. a
brave hen, but Strenuous hen.
She belongs to one of the Hayden
brothers. They also own threshing
machine, which was taken out Of the
shed for the first time last week, and
a small field Of grain was threshed to
see that the machine was in good
running order. Z:
After the job was finished the ma
chine was returned to the shed, when,
to the amazement Of all, there in the
corr corner lei of the separator sat the siren
uous hen. 5s.
Under her was nest Of eggs that
she was endeavoring to hatch. She
had been on the nest when the ma
chine was taken out.
She was there when the belts, and
pulleys began to whiz, when the fan
began to sing, and when the riddlers
began to shake and rattle. The wind
from the fan rufaed her feathers and
almost took her breath; but, like the
boy on the burning deck, she stayed
at her post. What her thong is were
when the swift cylinder began to
chew up straw cannot be guessed.
When found she was B uniniured.
There was dust in her mouth and a
somewhat frightened look in her eye,
but she was on her nest. OF the
eggs, all were safe save one.

PALMER LOSES MODEL GUESTS


The other day for the first time in

cant. The interesting part Of ii is
that during all that time ii has been
occupied by one couple, Mr.. and Mrs.

for New York. where they will make
their future home, the hotel lost its
star boarders. Mr.. Seixas was a mem
Der Of the firm Of Cook, Lyman &
#Seixas, which was for q number Of
years engaged in the wholesale hat
business on Market street. About a
year ago the firm went out OF bust
ness. It was on January 4, 1878, that
Mr.. and Mrs seixas went to the
Palmer house. They selected room
358, where they remained all during
their long stay, and every Sunday
morning promptly at eight o'clock
Mr.. Seixas appeared at the cashiers
window and settled HIS bill for the
week. He never missed e payment
and never varied more than minute
or two from exactly eight o'clock.
The stay Of Mr.. and Mrs. Seixas ex-
ceeds by several years that OF any

OvERCROWDED LONDoN.3
The English Metropolis Is Suf4eYin,
= from a Dearth of Houses
+ p, Rents Going Up.

n Az the present. moment Writes S1f
Walter Besant in the Century, those
parts of East London inhabited by
the workingmen of all kinds, from
the respectable artisan in steady en-
ployment down to the casual hand
and the children of the street, are
suffering from the dearth of houses.
There are not enough houses for the
people; there are not enough single
rooms for the families which would
gladly occupy them, if they could.
The rents of the lowest tenements
are going up higher and higher. The
working people compete with one an
other for rooms. The landlord has
only to put up his house, or his rooms
in his house, to the highest bidder.
A room that used to be let for four
shilings a week can now command
six, while the fine, or the sum paid
ON taking the key, which was former
" a few shillings, now runs up to a
pound or even two. The houseless
used to be considered the very poor
est. Among them now are families
where the head is in good work.
They, are houseless because there are
no houses. for them. The vast in
crease of population has good deal
to do with this. For instance, the
outlying suburb of East Ham, 20
years ago a mere hamlet with a few
houses and an old church in the
fields, now numbers 10000 people, all
of the working class; while its
neighbor, West Ham, which. 20 years
ago consisted of two or three scat
tered hamlets, is now great town
of 100000 people, all of the working
class. ~ -, 4. "s. e
