lynched three men. The governor
said:
when | returned from Morehead
City on the End inst, | write Sheriff
Julian at Salisbury that if necessary
| would put the military under MS or
der. On the 18th, a letters came from
him saying that he did not think there
was any necessity to order out the mil
itaTy as it seemed that the people were
DESTROYS TO have a fair trial and that
it was better not TO order out the troops
as that would only serve to incense
the people. 1 made no order therefore
for the troops, and | was very much
surprised to be awakened last night
after II o'clock by a telephone from
Judge Long, asking that the military
be ordered Out. This | promptly dl4
and also called out troops from Green's
bOrO, Charlotte and Statesville. The
.Sta!esyiile Office could not be reached,
but the captain of the companies o.
Charlotte and Greensboro answered the
call promptly and had their men ready
when another message came from the
judge stating that the mob had done
its work and the orders to the troops
were then cOuntermanded. Today [
sent the following telegram to Judge
Long: Spare neither time no eX-
pen5e in trying to bring the mob to
Justice. If needed | will go to Sails
burr The following telegram was
sent to Sheriff Julian: Make every eff
fort to identity and arrest the mob
which lynched the prisoners. II | am
needed wire me and | will go to Sal
isbury at once"
The governor said: II think this
1ynching a terrible bio on the state
and will act with the judicial depart
ment in trying to identify and bring
to justice the persons who committed
the crime"

came from Norfolk today to organize a
painters union. Some of the union
carpenters are leaving having gone u
Morganton, Henderson and Norfolk.
Work is in progress on a few buildings
where there are two or three non

would have had an understanding
with them. The latter say the Typo

Much interest is felt in the establish
metn of a Y. NJ. c. A. and the erection
of a dignifed and suitable building and
it has been proposed to have a con-
ference this week on the subject, but
it is found that so many ministers and
other prominent workers are now alb
sent from Raleigh that it has been
decided to defer the meeting until in
September, the plan being to then
take up the work as actively as posi-
BILE. 1t is found that the best plan is
to secure funds at first by handsome
initial gifts, and not to begin work
until most, if not all of the needed
f,r1c IN hand or in very Main
sight. The most practical plan is TO
be followed, and some of the best Y. NJ.
C.. A. workers in the state will be ask
ed to lend a hand.
