by the bowling of wolves close at

SHOT By AN OFFICER
While Attempting to Escape Arrest for
Charge of Criminal Assault.

Passengers from Henderson, who
reached Durham yesterday afternoon,
brought particulars of a probable fatal
shooting that took place in that town
yesterday morning between S and 0
O'Clock. Police Officer Nat Henderson
shot and seriously wounded a white
man by the name CT Robert Hayes.
whom he was trying to arrest On the
charge of criminally assaulting a ten
year old girl in West Virginia. The
officer had a capias for his arrest.
The particulars are that Officer Hen
derson walked up to Hayes, who was
on the street at the time, and laying
his hand on his shoulder and said;
You are my prisoner" What for?''
asked Hayes. Ion a capias from West
Virginia, charging you with criminal
~ assaulting a ten-year old girl" said
the officer. Upon this statement
Hayes broke away and ran off, refus-
ing to stop when halted.
After calling to the fleeing man to
stop the officer began to shoot. The
statement is that the first two shots
were fired with no intention of hit
ting Hayes. The third shot, however.
sent a ball through the back of the
fleeing man, the ball penetrating the
left lung. While the wound is serious
the physicians do not think it neces-
sarily fatal.-Durham Herald.

Th Wlessenger
ROOSEVELT TO THE LABOR OR.
CARNATIONS.

That was a plain, straightforward
talk Nh. Roosevelt gave the representa-
tives of labor organizations last We'd
nesday. There was nothing in it inim-
ical to their interests or u~nfriendly to
the individuals composing he various
organizations represented. He did
not hesitate, though, to state plainly
where he stood on the various matters
touched upon in the memorial and gave
good reasons for the positions taken
by him On those questions.
While the men who presented the
memorial did not get from him the as
surances they desired, he showed them
plainly that he was ready and willing
to accord to the labor interests all
their rights and to give them protec-
ton under the law, but that he would
not go one step further than dealing
out fair and equal justice TO all.
He did not hesitate to tell them that
their position on the eight-hour law
for work on the Panama canal was
tndefensible, at the same time pledg-
ing himself to enforce that law where
it is applicable whenever instances of
its violation are brought to his atten-
ton.
He did not attempt to evade the
Chinese question, but declared that he
favored amendment Of the exclusion
law so as to allow freer access to this
country of a certain class of Chinese
who will not come in competition with
our skilled or unskilled labor, at the
same time opposing the admission of
Chinese labOrers.
There is Il ring of sincerity and
manliness in the presidents words
from n end of his reply to the me-
mortal to the other which must have
struck a responsive cord in the hearts
of the men who heard him. They
could not help feeling that he was
honest in every word he said and that
in answering them as he did he was
doing what he felt to De his duty to
the whole country; that he was trying
to show no favoritism and to treat all
classes alike.

An ~enterprising drummer for a GER
tain brand of whiskey seized upon a
novel plan to make his goods popular
with the customers of the Raleigh dis
pensary. He bought twenty-five dol
lars worth of his brand in half pints at
the d%ispensary and left it there with
instructions to give a bottle of it to
every one who called with a ticket
from him. 1t was not long before men
began pouring i'm each with a card call
ing for a half pint. This was kept up
until one of the d~ispensary commits
sioners heard of what was going on
and put a stop TO the proceedings-on
what ground we cannot tell unless the
original sale was a wholesale ~transac-
ton and the ~dispensary had no federal
license to do such a business. 1t is
most likely, though, that it has such Ii
cense, as it was caught n wholesal-
ing beer without the necessary permit
from the United States. If a man has
the right to buy II bottle at the dis
pensary and give an order for it's de-
livery to the bearer of the order a he
not buy two or any larger number and
give orders for their delivery to differ
emit persons?

A NEGLECTED MONUMENT
One About Which Few People Know.
Marks the Spot Where Colonel
BufordFs Men We're Murdered by
Tarlefon.s Command.

! On the old Charlotte and Camden
road, between here and Lancaster, is
a spot referred to locally as The Mon
ument-' 1t is the place where Colo
mel Buford and his men were murder
ed during the revolutionary war by
Tarieton's command. Buford town
ship, in this county, is named for Col
onel Buford. 4 writer in the Lancas-
ter Enterprise tells the following
story:
By the roadside in the edge of a
lonly forest near a farm house stands
a monument about which every young
Carolinian should know. and about
which many do not know. II is a
shaft Of marble rising ten feet. two
feet square where it joins the pedestal.
1t commentaries the dastardly behav-
Tor of he English colonel. Tarleton,
who, on May %, 1850, at this point
either killed or wounded nearly the en-
tire command of Colonel Abraham Bu-
ford, after the latter had surrendered.
A space twenty-five feet long and
eight feet across is enclosed with heap
ed flint stones, nearly white, stretching
away from the monument. Here rest
the bodies OF 81 gallant revolutionary
soldiers.
But let the marble shaft tell the
story. Beginning on the south side,
continued on the east and ended on
the north, is the following inscriptions:
Erected to the memory and in hon.
or of the brave and patriotic American
soldiers who fell in the battle which
occurred at this place on the Goth of
May, 1870, between Colonel Abraham
BufOrd, who commanded q regiment
Of $50 Eirginians, and Colonel Tarle-
ton of the British army, with $50 cay
airy and a like number of infantry.
Nearly the entire command of
Colonel Buford were either killed or
wounded and 81 gallant soldiers are
buried in this grave. They left their
homes for the relief of Charleston, but
hearing at Camden of the surrender
of that city, We're returning, Here
their lives were ended in the service of
their country.
THE cruelty and the barbarous mas
sacre committed on this occasion by
Tarleton and his command after the
surrender Of Colonel Buford and his
regiment, originated the American war
cry, Remember Tarleton"
"a British historian confesses of
this battle that, The virtue of human
ity was totally forgot"
Why do not we South Carolinians do
more to fasten in the minds of posteri-
ty the gallant and chivalrous deeds Of
u distinguished past? For heroism,
courage and patriotism the Carolinians
of the olden time had no superiors INT
few equals. This was abundantly
proven on many a battlefield, and yet
the school children scarcely know hat
scores of significant revolutionary en-
gagements were on Carolina soil. But
every one of them knows of a certain
Bunker Hill and looks in his school his
tory at the inevitable picture of the
splendid marble shaft which is Massa-
chusetts properly signalizes this en-
gagement of the war which won Amer

Kindness to Misses Sheridan and Bish.
Op Rewarded.
Gaffney, S. c., March 21.-Yesterday
afternoon at 6 O'Clock the men of the
town in a body went to the home Of
Miss Mae Peeler and presented her
with a beautiful gold watch as a
token, showing their appreciation of
her kindness to Misses Sheridan and
Bishop just after the awful tragedy
here last December and during the trial
Of George Hasty for the double muir
der committed at that time. Miss
Peeler was especially attentive to the
young ladies in their bereavement, and
the gentlemen Of the town showed her
that her kindness was not unappreci-
ated.-Special to Charlotte News.

4 FOOLISH SPEECH.

The Southern Ice Exchange met in
Richmond, Va, last Wednesday. The
members were welcomed by Mr.. Nc
Carthy, mayor of the city. In the
course of his remarks he said:
1 am the son of an Irishman and I
recognize but two flags, the state flag
of Virginia and the battle flag of the
confederates. The stars and stripes
are all right in their way, but for me
there are but two flags. the state flag
of Virginia and the battle flag of the
~Confederacy. n SO far as T am con
cerned, I recognize the battle flag Of
Virginia.
Why in addressing a body Of ice
manufacturers who had assembled in
his city to transact their private bus
mess the mayor should have incorpor-
ated such words into his speech and
have given utterance to such senti-
those were his true sentiments he
should have kept them to himself on
that occasion. We feel sure they were
endorsed by a very few, if any, Of the
men he was welcoming to his city, and
by few of the thousands Of people-the
citizens Of Richmond-whom he was
there representing in his official capac-
ity and acting as their mouth-piece in
extending a welcome to their city to
business men from all sections of the
south, some of them perhaps men who
had followed the stars and stripes in
the days of '61-65 or who were Of
northern birth and raising to whom
such u~tteranceS could be but distaste-
full. He should have remembered that
more significance is given to utter
ances of this kind from a mar occu-
plying a high official position than to
those of a private individual. The
sentiments then expressed by him will
be attributed, not to Mr.. Mccarthy, a
citizen of Richmond, but to the mayor
of one of the largest and most import
ant cities of the south. 1t was most
unfortunate that he should have allow
ed his zeal and his loyalty to the mem
DRY of the COnfederacy to have led him
into making such a declaration on the
occasion.
