A FEARFUL CRIME.
Especial to the ARGUs.l

(Spec1al 10 the ARGUSl
Seven Springs, Aug. %. On the
evening of the 22nd abour O'Clock,
negro who goes by the name of
Tom Jones, committed an outrage
on the wife of Mr.. J. M. Smith, who
lives about three miles from this
place.
The poor woman was dragged
from her house by the burly brute
to the woods, near by, and left in
such condition that she was scarce
ly able to return to the house. Dr.
Walter Jones was called to her and
rendered medical aid.
Sheriff Scott arrived about mid
night and the neighborhood is being
searched for the scoundrel, who, it is
thought, made his escape towards
Mt. Olive.
LATER Mrs. Smith is in a criti-
cal condition. Her face is badly beat
en- and swollen, her throat black
where he choked her; and her phys
ical and mental condition is most de-
plOrable.
Not since the Morley murder-in
which the nameless crime was COM
mitted and Mrs Morley and her
husband murdered, has Wayne
county had such a crime committed
within her borders as the outrage
tupon Mrs. Smith, near Seven
Springs, reported in these columns
pon Saturday. Lynching did,not over
take the Worley nauGderers because
of the uncertainty OF the identity of
the criminals until a legal dnvesti-
cation was had and they were with
in the strong arm of the law, and
speedily were they tried and duly
executed. Hence Wayne county had
mo lynching then, and since then has
had no occasion for such .condign
punishment until the crime upon
Mrs. Smith was committed Friday
evening, in Indian Springs toWR-
ship.
The outrage perpetrated upon Mrs.
J. M. Smith in Indian Springs town.
ship last Friday has been avenged
and the soul Of the black brute who
assaulted her has been ushered into
eternity.
After eluding his pursuers for
nearly three nights and two days
the negro was captured near Outlaws
Bridge in Duplin county Monday
morning about 1 o'clock. The crowd
of citizens, who had not relaxed their
efforts to bring the negro to justice,
tracked him to the spot where he
was captured. He was making his
way Sunday night along the public
road to Kenansyille. A little before
o'clock he left the road to go into a
field to get watermelon to eat. His
nursuers came upon the spot and
waited for him to return to the road,
which he did in few moments.
Marshall Holmes gave the command
to "halt," and Mr.. Richie said
ssthrow up your hands" The negro
complied and Mr.. Richie bound the
negro hand and foot with rope. 1t
had been agreed that a pistol should
be fred as a signal when the negro
was caught. This was done and
simultaneously the farm bells began
to toll from one plantation to anoth-
er. which also told the story of the
capture. Besides Mr.. Richie and

SPLIT AT WEST SUPERIOR
TWO G. o. P. TICKETS NOMINATED
Parker Men Were Outvoted, but
Find a Way to Make Trouble
for Dietrich.

West Superior, March a.-Two candi-
dates for mayor were nominated yesterday
by delegates elected to the republican
convention. The Parker delegates quit
the convention and held one of their own,
nominating Mayor Parker for another
term and full city ticket.
The Dietrich forces nominated Harvey
W.Dietrich for the head of the ticket,
and named another city ticket.
The fight for the republican nomination
was practically between Parker and Diet
rich, and was a bitter one, being on for
months past. The delegates to the con-
yention were SO divided that Dietrich had
503a to Parker's 201a votes, seemingly
giving Dietrich the convention ina walk.
The Parker people, however, dug up a
phrase in the caucus, law that says the
candidates for delegates to the convention
must have majority of the VOTES cast
In four wards the Dietrich delegates, II
seems, had only plurality, with the re-
suit that the Parker men submitted min
GRITTY report on credentials, and when this
was voted down they walked out of the
convention with Parker and w. 3. Pick
ering leading the forces.
The Parkerites held their convention il
another room in the same building. They
nominated NJ p. ,Sehmitt for treasurer
and Charles Andreen for controller. The
Dietrich party named r. Z. Hunter for

A COMING STRUGGLE.

The political pot is beginning to sim
mer. and deep plans are being laid and
wires are being pulled, batteries are be-
ing masked, to be unmasked at future
period and carry dismay into the ranks
of the unwary, in fact every effort is
being made to gather the forces for the
fall campaign. 1t promises to be a live
ly campaign and the voters more tho
roughly realize now the Importance Of
their vote, and that upon their action
will rest many future advantages to
the Territory.
The Home Rulers if they remain as
they have been in the past seem dis
posed to renominate the incompetent
Wilcox But Robert WilcoX's name is
not the great conjuring trick that it
was. He has evident fears himself as
to the result of the election, and is
boiling back to the Territory to look
after his personal interests, leaving the
affairs of his constituents to take care
of themselves.
But will the Home Rule voters finally
endorse Wilcox. Even in the Home
Rule committee there are riffs, though
they have been kept fairly out of sight
When Wilcox returns and his constitu-
ents discover that all he can hand~them
is so much windy rhetoric and that
none of the measures which he pro-
missed have been carried through, but
that all his bills have been buried out
= of sight, there will be a strong revul-
sion of feeling, and his nomination viii
not be unopposed in his own party.
People will swallow wind for some
time and will not complain
about it, but a steady diet of wind is
more than any one can stand even a
Home Ruler. The Home Rule vote win
not be nearly as strong this election as
it was last, and upon a Wilcox renomi-
nation it will be very weak upon the
delegate question. There will be much
scratching of the ticket with his name
on.
The Republicans have a choice of
some very strong men, men who will
command a vote from a strong section
of the Home Rulers as well as the full
strength of the Republican and an in
fluential portion of the Democrats The
Republicans can put forward men who
thoroughly understand the affairs OF
the Territory, who are most capable il
parliamentary procedure, and are above
all things hard workers. The full list
Of candidates for nomination has no
appeared before the public, and Their,
are one or two dark horses, but out o
the list already furnished there will
be a good choice. The Delegate of tn
Territory is most important to the wei
fare of the Territory.
