Executive Department.
Whereas, official information has been
received at this department that Harri-
son and James Gillespie were lynched at
Salisbury about June 10, 1902, by parties

upon them;
Now. therefore, I, Charles B. Aycock,
Governor of the State of North Caro-
lima by virtue of authority in me vested
by law, do issue this my proclamation, Of
fering a reward of four hundred dollars
each for the apprehension and delivery of
the said parties unknown or any of them
to the sheriff of Rowan county at the
court house in Salisbury with evidence
sufficient to convict and a conviction,
and l do enjoin all officers of the State
and all good citizens to assist in bring
ing said criminals to justice.
Done at our City of Raleigh the 18th
day of June, in the year of our Lord
one thousand nine hundred and two, and
in the one hundred and twenty sixth year
Of our American independence.

MUST OBEY HIS OATH.

When a petition of citizens of Min
neapolis, many Of them men Of prom
inence, asked Gov. Van SAINT to cease
his fight on the merger, he returned a
prompt reply. the spirit Of which is
seen in the following extracts:
IL obligated myself, when I was in
augurated as governor Of the state, to
enforce the laws thereof.
"The question of whether the law is
wise Or unwise does not confront me.
The law exists and has been violated.
My duty is plain. therefore must
respectfully decline to comply with the
requests contained in your petition,
and shall continue as vigorously as
possible to vindicate the laws Of our
state"
If presidents, governors and mayors
would maintain the same high ideal
Of the sacredness of their oath of Of
flee, when dealing with the liquor traf-
fic, there would not be such a pressing
need or demand for legislation against
anarchy.

A COMING FEAST.

The most of the program for the
state convention has not been provided
for; yet it may be stated without ques-
ton that it will abound with unusual
attractions. National Chairman Oil
yer w. Stewart will be present dur
ing practically the entire convention,
and no more attractive announcement
than this could be made. Mr.. Stewart
has long been looked upon by the Pro
hibitionlsts of the state as one of the
most capable of the party's exponents,
and on his last trip, when he met and
signally defeated in public discussion
two of the most able men that the Re
publican and Democrat parties of the
state were able to furnish, his relative
strength became the more apparent
Minnesota herself is favored with some
of the most able men on the Prohibi-
ton platform, and these will be called
into requisition. The business of the
convention, moreover, will be of the
keenest interest. Because of the in,
creased strength and courage and en-
thusiasm of the past two years, it will
be more than ordinarily important
that councils of wisdom shall prevail
through all the deliberations of the
body. The question confronting the
Prohibitionist this year will not be
whether he can afford to attend the
convention, but whether he can afford
to stay away.
