A REMARKABLE UTTERANCE
BY a Usually Sane and Sound Editor
on the Salisbury Lynching.

The Monroe Journal knows how to
DO the proper thing when it wishes to
do so. Hence it. is with considerable
surprise that we see in it's columns
the following:
THE special term of court which
convened at Salisbury yesterday for
the trial of the negroes accused of
the slaughter of the Lyerly family was
cut short by the execution of the ne
groes by a mob, which took them out
OF the hands Of the court after the
trial had begun and under the very
nose Of the court, murdered them.
In his charge to the grand jury be-
fore the mob assembled, Judge Long
made a clustering speech against
lynchers, and told what things he
would do to the men who were 50
much as caught making threats.
After that the mob assembled and
the officers allowed the militia to sneak
Off without protecting the prisoners.
Now let the judge who made so
much smoke do some firing.

GreensbOrO's strenuous Postmaster

Strenuous himself, it would do the
heart Of President Roosevelt good to
know hat he has appointed as post
master at Greensboro, a young gentle
mar quite as strenuous as himself in
the person of Mr.. Robert Dick Doug
las. At considerable expense in the
time and trouble yesterday. The Rec
ord kept track of him. Rising at an
early hour he performed the duties of
his exacting Office as postmaster;
lunched at one o'clock; went to his
desk as editOr-in-chief of the Industrial
News, ground out several columns Of
editorials; dined at seven; dOnned his
Prince Albert; put on a white choher;
smoked a few cigarettes; had his shoes
polished at the club; went to a dance

A MOB AFTER HIM
Sad Case OF Lynching on the Brain.
Man, Scared Out Of His Wits Proba-
bly, by His Imagination, Demands
That Uncle Sam Protect Him.

Asheville, n. c., August 9.-Yester-
day afternoon a stranger, accompanied
by his wife, poked his nos into Inter
nal Revenue Collector Browns Office
and in an excited manner told the col
lector that a mob was after him: that
he was going to be lynched; that he
was a deputy collector and that he de-
manded the protection Of the United
States government.
The man, although wild-eyed, ap-
peared sane, and the affair created
some excitement. The police depart
ment was notified, and Officer Black
stock responded. The man and his
wife were escorted 20 the Swannanoa
hotel and he was assured protection.
An investigation revealed the fact
that the stranger was A. H. Agnew, of
Alexandria, Va, and hat he is a
brother of former Collector Park Ag-
new, Of Virginia.
Mr.. Agnew told his story in a ra-
tional manner. He said that he and
his wife arrived yesterday morning
from Knoxville, and that while en-
route a half dozen men sat near him
and talked about mObbing him. He
declared hal the men followed him
to the Swannanoa hotel and that he
hurried to the Federal building for
protection.
There are two theories for the most
unusual occurrence and the disturbed
condition Of the mans mind. One
is that he had been reading Of the
lynching at Salisbury and had become
temporarily insane over the affair, and
the other was that he was suffering
from extreme nervousness. Mrs. Ag-
new heard none Of the conversations
to which her husband referred, but
accepted the theory that he was in
grave danger. The couple was later
escorted to the train by a police Of
ficer and continued their journey

One Familiar With il Tells About the
Court Show.

Criminal courts are the spontaneous
outbursts Of the indignation of the hu-
man race in efforts to remedy mans
inhumanity TO man and other animals.
His honor, the judge, is the lionical
authority and master Of ceremonies,
he getting the lions share of the per-
q~uisites and requisites, and carries
heavy life insurance against the prob
ability OF being talked to death By
some of the lawyers. The press keeps
him hot and cold with tafy and tough
criticism.
The state solicitor performs the tiger
acts for the court show and pulls heav-
lily on the gate receipts for his perfor-
mances AS soon as the true bill comes
from the grand jury he is happy and
begins TO gnash his teeth and paw the
air, trying TO get a hand for the roads,
or more especially the best fee he can
to add to MS bank account Sometimes
he gets laughed at for knOtty or slack
twist Of some of his bills. When the
Jury brings in a verdict 81 not guilty
! he heaves a long sigh and calls Il an
other suspect into the gladiatorial
arena and the performance proceeds.
Defendants attorney get what they
can and all they can. Some are mean
enough to say that some Of them per-
form the hyena and Jachai acts and
. take the last bone, meat or no meat.
But the facts are they mostly get mort
cages and promises.
The jurors get S1.5g per diem and
mileage. some getting coon skin mil
cage. The grand jurors are grand sure
no to bring in any true bills or pre-
sentiments against themselves.
The petit jurors, besides getting
their per diem and mileage, often man
age to get per nightiem IL the way Of
supper. lodging and breakfast. Il is
said they have been known TO agree 10
disagree until they have fully enjoyed
their per night diem.
The court s~tenographer gets 5000
per day and often we'll gazed at by
some Of the jury and Others who gets
seats in front of her.
The sheriff gets to handle, handcuft
and promenade the streets with stink
ing negroes, vicious white men ana
sometimes tough wOmen He is eX-
pected to summon witnesses from all
quarters of the county instanter on

pledged to maintain Cuba as an inde-
pendent state, but that the necessities
of business make that pledge a matter
of no great weight. Others of the ele-
ment have not been so candid, and
there are no doubt very many who
hope to bring about annexation with
out at least technically violating any
Of our pledges.
But unfortunately there is a consid-
cradle element in the United States, of
q lingo and swashbuckling type, who
seem to think that any exercise of pow
er is evidence of our greatness This
is the element that talks about the
American flag never coming down
where it has once gone up, ignoring
both the fact, and the moral principle
that ought to govern such facts.
But the honor of the United States
is pledged to the independence of Cuba,
AS Americans we ought to be concerned
in keeping that pledge, in maintaining
our honor.
Let Cuba develop along her own
lines. Let her people work out their
own destiny. Not that we shall desert
her. But assuring her people that in
all their efforts to establish a real re-
public on her soil, they shall not be
interfered with, and that we have no
designs on her territory, let our people
give all the aid and assistance one
friendly people can give another. Let
the sinister designs of the exploiters
be frowned upon.
