SOLDIERS GUARD
SALISBURY JAIL
NORTH CAROLINA SENTRIES
ORDERED TO KILL
Lynching Results in Summary Action

rests Are Expected as
Result
BY Associated Press.

by ASSOCldleu EIeSS.
CHARLOTTE, s. c., Aug. 7.-Tonight
three companies of the North Carolina
national guard surrounded the Jail at
Salisbury while sentries with loaded
guns and orders to shoot to kill patrol
the four streets that flank the prison.
There have been threats and rumors
of threats all day and into the night,
but there has been no demonstration
and it is believed the worst is over.
George Hall, the former convict of
Montgomery county, who is said to
have led the mob which lynched the
three alleged murderers of the Lyerly
family last night, is in the Jail.
The plan to rescue him, rumors of
which caused Governor Glinn to hurry
troops to Salisbury, has not material
lied.
The surviving negroes, Henry Lee,
George Ervine and two women, are safe
in the Jail at Charlotte and there is no
danger for them.
The supreme court, which convened
to try the instigators of the mob, act
ing under orders from the governor,
will not adjourn until every effort to
convict the leaders of the mob has been
exhausted.
The charge is. being worked up and
many arrests are expected tomorrow.
The governor is determined to push the
case to the bitter end. The charge
against the surviving defendants
against whom true bills were found
was continued until the regular meet
ing of the Rowan county court.
Long before the sun rose curious per-
sons went to the scene Of the Iynching
and cut off the toes, fingers and ears of
the negroes who were hung to the limb
of a tree on the Henderson ball ground.

posse and seize the boxes at any cost.
The day was replete with sensations

cided that his court had no jurisdiction
over the inquiry into the franchise con-
test cases instituted by Judge Lindsey
in the county court, and attorneys for
the corporations took the case to the
supreme court, where it was taken
under advisement until tomorrow, but
no order was issued to stop Judge
Lindsey pending the decision.
Six Guilty of Contempt
In the meantime Lindsey proceeded
with the hearing and found six men
guilty of contempt, four of them for re-
fusing to be sworn. The other two
were watchers who refused to give UP
the box.
The four who refused to be sworn are
j Cook, jr., who is said to have held
the land on which alleged fraudulent
tax receipts were issued; Fred Will
liams, former chairman of the Republi-
can city central committee; H. l..

WOMAN VICTIM
Of CRUEL JOKE
TOLD OVER TELEPHONE THAT
SON IS DEAD
Mother of Local Real Estate Agent
Almost coIlapses When She Re-
ceives Message, Which Later
Proves False

A practical joker, said to have been
a woman, telephoned Mrs. Munholland
of 147 South DAILY street at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon that her son, Rob-
ert Munholland, a local real estate
agent, had dropped dead in down
town drug store.
On receipt Of the message Mrs. Mum
holland almost collapsed. and had 1t
not been for the presence of Mrs Con
Hayes, a neighbor visiting Mrs. Mum
holland at the time, serious results
might have followed.
Robert Munholand, at the time the
news OF his sudden death" reached his
mother, was looking over real estate
properties with one of the customers
of his company.
Messenger Sent ScurryIng
immediately upon receipt of the mes
sage from the woman joker, Mrs. Con
Hayes instituted an investigation.
Messages were sent to the employees at
Munhollands Office and to several other
persons in the city who were acquainted
with the movements of Munholland:
INO Oile Hdu uCdlu VI IlC uSASh -
Munholland, and trickery was at once
suspected by the employees of the office
with which Munholland is connected.
Half an hour after the telephone mes
sage had been sent to Mrs. Munholland,
her son reached home. His mother was
then in the care of neighbors. outside
the Munholland home were curious
neighbors, waiting to get particulars OF
the DEATH
Affair viii Be Investigated
Mr.. Munholland stated last night
that a thorough investigation will be
made of the affair. He says he has no
enemies to his knowledge and he was
especially surprised to learn woman
was at the bottom of the cruel joke.
The fright which Mrs. Munholland
suffered from the message was made
more. severe, owing to her sons recent
recovery from long illness
To the Munhollands, their friends and
relatives it is apparent that it was the
work of a so-called practical joker, ;"
as no one with a name in the least
similar to Munholland died yesterday
or was even slightly injured.

SHALL WE CELEBRATE.

The Fourth of July is day
that should be appropriately OBJ
served by every American citizen.
It should be celebrated in every |
city, town and hamlet in the
country. But in celebrating we
should get back to first prln-
ciples. We have lost sight OF
the real significance OF the day.
No longer is Independence Day a
day set apart for the American
people to gather together IN
peace and quiet to discuss the
words and deeds of the fathers;
to deeply ponder the Declaration
of independence; to think over
the achievements of the past,
and resolve upon greater IN the
future; and to render thanks to
God for the manifold blessings
we have enjoyed. No longer is
independence Day observed Sc
riously. 1t has degenerated into
a day of sport and spectacular
hullabaloo. Parades, circuses,
horse racing and fire works are
the features of chief attraction
at American celebrations today
The town that spends the most
money, makes the most noise
and creates the most excitement
has the most glorious celebra
ton. While sport is a gooo
thing, a barbecue a comfortable
thing and a horse race an excit
ing thing, and we do not wisl
to disparage any of them, yet /
would be good if this day, a
least, was devoted to the NOR
serious affairs of life. We low
