Man Shot While Coming Over to
Town by rty-
proyements in Streets.

Goldsboro. y. c., July 16.-While COM
ing over to the city this morning from
his home in Webbtown Mr.. Grafton
Sugg was shot in the leg by some I'M
known party. He says he noticed a
man and a woman standing n talking
OF the opposite side Of the street near
the cemetery. When he came up close by
the man pulled his gun and began fir
ing. Several shots were fired and only
one Of the balls struck Mr.. Sugg in
the leg. The man who did the shoot
ing turned and walked away. Mr.. Sugg
came on owe into the city and told
of the occurrence, but could give the
police no clew as to who the man was
or where he could be found. Mr.. Sugg
said that he was with a crowd of BOYS
who We're rocking a stranger in that
section Of the city last night and he
thinks the man who did the shooting is
the man the boys were after last night.
The wound in his leg is quite painful,
but is not thought to be serious

ing young attorney of Burlington. who

dress before the Goldsboro branch of
the association last night and made a
fine speech. The association in this
city is growing in numbers every day
and has been of much benefit to the
members in helping them to collect back
accounts. One of the principal features
Of the association is that they read out
in open meeting the names of those CO.
pie VINO fail to pay their bills and
such persons cannot get credit from
any membe of the association until the
account has been paid.
The sidewalk in front of the Hotel
Kennon and in front of the adjoining
property Of Mr.. John w. Edwards is
being laid with g%ranolithic pavement.
This takes in the sidewalk on both sides
of the railroad waiting rooms and ticket
office, which space will be left until the
railroads can be heard from. The rail-
roads will very probably have the pave
ments put down and the chain will be
complete for more han half a block
and will add considerably to the APP
pearance of that street. In this con-
nection it can be stated that the Odd
Fellows have asked for an estimate for
paving the sidewalk in front Of their
property and will doubtless have the
work done.
Mr.. Thomas w. Swami has very gen.
erously decided a site for the new Colds
boro Hospital. which has cause the di-
rectors to draw up and have published
a resolution of n The site given
by Mr.. Swami is a splendid location,
being near his residence on
street and easily accessible from my
part of the city. The board Of trus-
tees have raised quite a neat sum to-
ward the erection of the building and
work on the same will be commenced at
an early day. 1t is the intention of the
trustees to erect n equip a hospital
that will not only be a credit to the
town. but one where the most critical
diseases can be treated and thus OBJ
viate the necessity of sending patients
to other cities. GoldsbOro has some of
the best medical skill in the state and
ali is needed is a hospital properly
eQuipped.

How to Stop Lynching.

North and South are greatly stirred
upover the lynching question. Negroes
are burned at the stake, and then we
have conventions and petitions, warm
words in books and magazines from
pulpit and lecture platform remedies
without numper. Some say the remedy
for lynching is to punish the sheriff;
some would mulct the offending county
in damages; some would indict the mob
and others rely on the main strength
and aw~kwardness OF the press.
There is n remedy for lynching that
is little discussed but which would
prove effective, and hat is for these
negro ~ravishers 20 let white women n
girls alone. If they Will stop his one
crime, justice will be permitted to take
it's measured way with their other Of
lenses. This it is Which sets every
woman in the country aainst them,
and is rapidly losing for them the sym
pathy and f~Orbearance of erstWhile de-
nunciators of the lynching-bee. The
negro can stop lynching tomorrow. Let
him let white girls alone.
The beauty of this remedy is that the
sufferer will be his own emancipation.
1t will take the press and the pulpit,
the lawyers and Sheritfs, a long time
to make n Roadway against the peo-
pie who rise up in an hour of righteous
wrath and infiict a punishment that ap-
proximately fits the crime, or at least
comes as near doing So as an enlight-
ened age permits. But the negro can
apply this remedy Instantly. If he will
forbear this one most foul and unnatu-
rail crime, lynching will be a thing Of
the past. Let him let white girls alone.
And it is the only way. We have
heard enough of pleas for the poor
negro burnt at the stake. 1t US hear
something now for these helpless chill
dren, in virgin innocence and the beau
tiful freshness of youth who are con-
demned to a fate infinitely worse than
death by one whom they have never
wronged, and in whose thoughts moth
ing ever came but prayed that God
would bless AL the world Lynch
law is irregular and burning is unnatu-
raj, but neither is more irregular and
1t is the only way. SO long as white
girls are outraged by black brutes. SO
long will negroes be burnt at the stake.
They say that the spectacle does not
deter. Maybe not; so much the worse
for them who refuse 10 take warning,
for every such crime VIII be followed
by just such penalty. Lynching must
be stopped, but first this ~unspeakable
crime must be stopped. And it will be
stopped. Until the negro stops lynch
ing by his own hands. Let him
ing by his own abstinence from rape.
burning will go on so long as there is
a black ruft1an left to feed the flames.
His remedy is in his own hands. Let
him let white girls alone.-Portland Or
egon.
