Secretary ShaW's Speech.

Many Salisbury citizens had the
pleasure Monday night of hearing
an address from Hon. Leslie NJ,
Shaw, Secretary of the Treasury.
There were many more who would
like to have listened to this pleas
ing speaker, but the court room
was not large enough to hold
tham. Mr.. Shaw, of course, made
a Republican speech, but it was a
speech his hearers enjoyed, even
though they did not agree with all
he said. Those who were present
state that his talk was very moder-
ate in tone, though emphatically
on the side of the administration
and what it stands for in politics.
Mr.. Shaw made a very pleasing
impression, not only upon his
audience, but upon those of our
citizens he met personally.
Salisbury was glad to see and
hear Mr.. Shaw.

WILL GO TO STANLY.
Alleged LyerIy Murders Get a Change
of Venue and Will be Tried In January.

Last Thursday Della Dilling-
ham. Henry Gillespie and Geo.
Erwin we're arranged in court
charged with the murder of the
Lyerly family. The prisoners all
plead not guilty.
H. S. Williams, of counsel for
the prisoners presented an affidavit
to the court, from the defendants,
declaring they did not believe
they could secure a fair trial in
Rowan county, and that if they
were tried and acquitted they
would be lynched, and on this
affidavit Mr.. Williams made a
motion for the removal of the
trial to another county. Solicitor
Hammer represented to the court
that the prisoners we're in no pos
sible danger here and strongly op-
posed the removal of the case.
At the conclusion of the argument
on the subject Judge Ferguson
stated that he. did not believe
that the prisoners could have a
fair trial here with the feeling
against them which he believed
existed, and added that he was of
the opinion that the public's
mind was not yet in a normal
condition. The Judge ordered
the case removed, and after some
discussion Stanly county was Sc
lected. The trial will be held
at Albemarle at the January term
of the Superior court.
The prisoners were taken back
to the jail at Charlotte, where
they will remain until the date of
the trial.
