intimate friends. He was a near neigh
Dor of Pritchard's, one of the first to
reach him after the fight.
Court was in session at BakersvilIe.
and it was reported to the presiding
judge that one Monroe Garland was an
outlaw; that he had shot five persons
from ambush, two of them women.
Thereupon Judge T. L. Green issued. =
bench warrant for Garland and placed it
in the hands of the sheriff, and the lat
ter went in search of Garland, accompa-
MED by Columbus f. BIalock as a special
deputy. They located Garland at the
house of a man named Mosely, eleven
miles from Bakersvile, in a wild section
CT county, accessible only by a trail
through the mountains They reached the
place and posted themselves in patch of
corn near the house.
DEADLY CONFLICT WITH AN OUT
LAW.
Day was just breaking over the noun
tains when the outlaw issued forth from
Moselys house. He passed near where
the sheriff stood in wait. The latter
stepped out, laid a hand upon Garlands
shoulder, and said
Hold on, Monroe
Garland's hand was in the breast pock-
ct of his coat. He did not start when
the sheriff addressed him. He did not
look around to see who it was. He asked
no questions. He simply whirled around
and shot Pritchard through the breast.
The sheriff's gun was out in an instant.
It's sharp tones broke upon the sweet
peace of mountainside morning Bla-
bO ,yac
afterward that from time to time little
clouds of dust flew from Garlands cloth
ing. He was being riddled with bullets.
He retreated, and Pritchard followed
He climbed a fence, went few yards
farther, and fell. Pritchard had not
strength enough to climb the fence. On
reaching it he knelt down. poised his pis-
tol upon a rail, and fired the last shot.
Again a little cloud of dust flew from
Garland's PROSTATE body. Then Blalock
supported Pritchard to the porch of Nose
ly's house. Blalock. crossed over the
fence where Garland lay, and returned.
'Lum,' said the sheriff, ''he's killed
ne"
"Well, George" said Blalock, "you
have killed him."
THAT is some comfort" said the sheriff.
He then gasped, and his limbs stretched
out in what ever one thought was his
death agony Water was thrown in his
face and restoratives applied. He rather
remarkably revived, and Blalock rode
eleven miles over rough mountain trail
to Balzersville in less than an hour to
bring medical aid. On the following day
Pritchard was carried upon letter to his
home in Bakersville. On his recovery
from his wound, Judge (then Senator)
Pritchard and others of his friends OBJ
tanned position for him at the Capitol in
Washington. They felt that his life in
Mitchell county was altogether too siren
uous for safety.

FORTY ACRES AND A MULE.
DR.. Whitaker is Illuminating Some
Pretty Black Places in Recent
History.

To the Editor: To those of us WHO
remember the days of reconstruction
Fl ieedman's Bureau. and "ThG 40 acres
and a mule" Dr. R. II. Whitaker's COM
muncation in the News and Observer of
the 28th of Feb. is but a refreshing
of our memory, but to our younger peo-
pie who came on the stage of action since
1865-70 who have not read that bit of his
tory / suggest that they be sure and get
the paper and read it. What DR.. w.
says is true, but he could only give
few Of the outlines, read what he says,
then ask those who were living in those
days, as to what our people in North Car
DINA and the South had to endure. 1t is
surprising that a man of DR.. Myers in
ttlligence, should cling to that old and
long since exploded idea that "Old John
Brown" was saint and that while
his body lies mouldering in the clay his
soul goes marching on The true
history puts him down as a fanatic, muir
dcrer and robber. He with his band of
robbers, not only robbed and killed white
people but actually killed some negroes
also. Thanks to DR.. Whitaker for his
efforts to keep the history correct. As
these things are called up some one as
Dr., w. has done should set them straight.
II we let such false statements go un-
challenged, our younger people may be
led to think they are true. 1 agree
with DR.. w. it is strange how some
people try to pervert the truth.

"Of course, it is absurd, Dick he

heve that friendship is the one INDY
ing bond of our race. All others have
their hmitations-even love of man
and woman burns itself out / believe
that somewhere between men such a
friendship as this exists: to love where
another loves instantly and forever;
to hate where he mates blindly and i'm
placably; to hold his honor higher and
sweeter than life. his happiness above
ones own; to feel this holy affection
so strong that it permeates every ausl-
ity of mind and body, and ssskeo @ a
truth that which we believe our friend
to be. In such friendship, Dick, self
