Tar Heels Interested in South
Cardinals Negro Who
breaches in His Sleep.

ota'esville special in the
Charlotte Observer Here is one
OF the most unusual cases ever
heard OF, and why this man is
not on exhibition with some
show crowd is astonishing.
The story is told by Mr.. E. M.
Hicks, OF Statesville, who travels
for the Bay State Whip Com.
pany, OF Massachusetts. Mr..
ticks is now at his home here
tor a short stay. This unusual
case ieli under his observation
while he was in South Carolina
ABOUT three weeks ago and al.
though many know of it nothing
has been said in the papers
about it.
Six miles from Batesburg, S.
g., lives negro farmer abop, IN
years old, who every night
conducts regular religious ser
vice while he is in some sort Of
hypnotic state, and the strau-
gest part of the story is that the
negro has been doing this regu.
iarly for twenty-seven years. The
case has attracted much attep-
ton and Mr.. Hicks drove out to
the negro's home one night to
hear him. The man goes to bed
about 8 O'Clock and soon after
he goes to sleep the perform ance
begins and he canuot be awaken.
ed until he has completed.
Mr.. Hicks says the night he
was there the negro sang two
songs, prayed long prayer and
then preached, what he saws,
was good, sensible sermon.
During the preaching he was
seized with some kind of con-
vulslon, something like a spasm
but his wife rubbed his face and
neck with some camphor and
ne went on with his sermon
starting In the middle of the
sentence where he had left of
when the convulsion came. He
never. breaches the same sermon
over twice and always announces
when he begins that he is going
TO repeat sermnn he hes heard
preached.
Mr.. Hicks says that physicians
have studied the negroes case
and have tried to wake him dur.
ing the performance, but in vain
They say he is in hypnotic
state; but just why or how i,
comes on him at these regular
periods and affects him in the
same way, they cannot under.
stand.
The negro is just a plain,
hard. working and ignorant far
mer and charges no admiltance
fee TO his home during the
strange performance. He can t
read when he is awake and
breaks down when he attempts
to pray in public or make any
sort of talk. SO far as Mr.. Hicks
learned, his rest is not broken or
his health affected by his nightly
performances.

Petition for Pardon of the
Noted Bob Jones Recalls
Story of a Famous Edge
field Case.

Columbia, Sept. 15.-Appli-
cation has been made 10 Cover.
nor Ansel for a pardon for Bob
Jones, known as the Edgefield
Family Exterminater. Similar
petitions have been refused by
previous governors, including
Governor Hayward during his
recent term, but Governor Ansel
will follow his custom and give
the case his usual careful con-
sideration.
The case of R Il. Jones is one
of the most celebrated in the
criminal annals of South Caro-.
line. He was tried five Or six
lines before he was finally sent
t the penitentiary for 21 years.
His term will expire in 1870
and II he Is not pardoned he has
only about two years yet to
serve since he will be given
credit for good behavior. He has
made a model prisoner and the
penitentiary authorities are un-
derstood to favor his pardon.
In 1885 a dispute arose be-
tween Jones and his relatives by
marriage, the Pressleys, over
the division of tract of land in
Edgefeld countysssswbich they
had fought together from the
Sin king Fund Commission. Jones
had himself paid the first pay
ment on the land and it was
claimed that the Pressleys had
not complied with their agree
ment to pay the balance and
that they tried to take possession
Of the portion allotted to Jones.
When they came upon his land
Jones went into the field with a
shot gun and shot Charley
Presley. Eddie Presley, broth
er OF Charlie, made for Jones
and Jones started to run but
turned and with his Iknife cut
Eddie to the heart, killing him
instantly. Jones next met the
rather, Edward Presley, a man
of 7S years of age and shaking
with palsy. lie had married the
old mans granddaughter and
when he methim he said: Grand
pa, l believe l will kill you, too"
and shot the old man in his
tracks. The third son, John, was
working in another field and for
that reason escaped the exter-
minator.
Jones went to Edgefield Court
House and surrendered. He was
placed in Jail with seventeen
other white men VINO we're then
under arrest charged with par
ticipating in the lynching of
Toles Culbreath, white man who
had been suspected of killing a
neighbor from ambush. The
seventeen alleged lynchers were
acquitted, being defended by
Gen. NJ O. Butler.
Jones did not have as good
luck az his fellow prisoners. AS
previously stated he had several

During the school month which

fail at the end OF the term.
On the whole these cases of alb
sence and hardness are confined to
a few families. We have rules gov
erning habitual absence and tardi-
ness, and if these children continue
to persist in being tardy and absent
these rules will be enforced. The rule
is as follows:
"The Superintendent has h right
to suspend any pupil for habitual tar
diness and ABSENCE"
From his time forward this rule
is going to be strictly enforced.
Sometimes sickness in the family
will cause hardness and absence.
These are conditions that can't be
helped; and if they exist in your
family, or if any other unavoidable
condition exists. please write a note
stating these facts, M it will not be
held against your child. But we want
you to send your children SIS prompt
ly and as regularly as possible. BY
that means you will lelp us to
strengthen our schools, and you will
aid US much in developing a strong
character and a solid education for
your children.
We had only IS visitors to our
schools this last month. We should
have had three hundred.
Please show US thai you are inter
ested in the education of your chill
dren and in the building up of the
strongest system of schools in tae
oy your presence,
No schools can be made strong I'M
less the patrons take a vital interest
in them. The only way to take an
interest in them is by visiting them.
Let us have three hundred patrons
