ROUNDING THEM UP.

Justice may be Melted out to Some of the
Tennessee Night Riders.
"Ted" Burton, the self confess
ed night rider, told a remarkable
story today of night riding depre-
dations near Reel Foot Lake, con-
Tossing to the part he played in
the outrages which reached a Gull
n1nation in the putting to death
Of Capt. Quintin Rankin, an at
;orney of Trenton, Tenn, on the
oanks of Reel Foot Lake a week
go, and duplicating men promi.
lent in this part of the State.
Of the persons who he declares
J I'd a part in the killing of Capt,
J ankin, there are forty now in
{ stody at the military camp at
{ tmburg. The confession was
1tade at the Tiptonville Jail to
{ ,erif Haines, Judge Harris, OWL
e. of a large tract of land in the
eel Foot Lake region, who has
G fered much at the hands of the
T ,iders, and Mayor Cleveland Don.
& dson, of Tiptonville.
Tie confession was made freely
aid voluntarily, and apparently
= ithout a qualm of conscience he
6 IDLY unfolded his story.
While Burton denies that he
rs present when Capt. Rankin
as put to death. he admits that
i, was through information given
him that the band congregated
and took the attorney while he
was staying at the hotel at Wal
nut Log.
According to Burton's confess
ion, Tom and Garrett johnson
under arrest. and William Wat.
son, under bond in connection
with another raid, were leaders of
the band.
Burton declares that the first
part played as a member of the
n ght rider band, was when he
a ded in the burning of a fish
v larf at Samburg. Several weeks
Il Ter he was one Of several that
c. used the county line from the
Reel Foot Lake region into the
aojoining county of Lake, and
whipped Justice of the Peace
Vim, an aged man.
Coming to the killing of Capt.
Rankin, Burton declared that on
the night before the lynching he
went to Walnut Log and there
met James F. Carpenter, an at
torney of Union City, at whose So
Rankin and Judge R. q.
Taylor associated in the West
Tennessee Company, owners of
the land on which the lake is sit
us ted, came to the lake. It was
stated that the visit Of the two at.
tozneys was to discuss a timber
de II with Carpenter. After this
co o%versat1on, Burton says he COM
.5tnicated with the night rider
les ders and told of the intended
nj rder of the representatives of
tn, land company. On the fol-
lo7 ;ng night he saw the two attor-
ne. at supper at the Walnut Log
hot i, but he declares he left Wal
nu Log early in the night and

Notes From the Recent Convention Which
Was Held In ReidsyiI!e October 7th to fifth.

Notes From the Recent Convention Which
Was Held In ReIdsyiI!e October 7th to fifth.
The 26th annual convention of
the North Carolina Woman's
Christian Temperance Union con-
vened il the Main Street M. E.
Church IN Reidsville, Wednesday
night. October 18th. The conven-
tion held three sessions each day
until Sunday night, October II.
The church was beautifully deco
rated with ferns and palms while
the walls we're encircled with
white ribbon and, suspend Oh the
walls were banners representing
the different departments of work
done by this organization. The
meeting was presided over by
Mrs. Garland, of Greensboro,
State vice-president. After sing.
ing a hymn ano a few appropriate
remarks were made by Mrs. Cart
land, the president, Miss E.
March, of Winston, read a scrip.
ture lesson followed by prayer.
Keep Me Close to Thee, Father"
was beautifully rendered by Miss
Emma Jones.
Mayor Montgomery very gra-
ciously welcomed the convention
to Reidsville in we'll chosen
phrases and said that he would
turn the keys of the city over to
them and if it were January 1st,
instead of October Z, he would
turn over to them for all time,
for to the W. G. T. U. does North
Carolina owe her release from the
ruling power of whiskey.
Rev. L. T. Mann followed May
or Montgomery's welcome with a
welcome from the churches of the
town. He spoke of the principles
upon which the W. G. T. U. was
founded, "Truth, Virtue and So
briefly" and of the loyalty with
which the members labor to i'm
press these principles upon all
with whom they came in contact.
He spopke of the wal waged
against the liquor traffic in this
State twenty years ago. He said
that at that time only two men
of prominence champion their
cause, which was defeated by over
100, 900 votes. He contrasted the
May election with the election of
twenty years ago and gave the
credit of the victory to the W. G.
T. U.
Next Prof. Hayes, of the Reds
vile Seminary, welcomed for the
school. He quoted a German
philosopher who said ST love God
and little Children" He spoke
of Reidsville as being under the
shadow, but she is coming out
now and all honor to the w. c..
T. U.
Hon. H. P. Lane. representing
the Anti-Saloon League, referred
TO the situation before the elec-
tion. Said he was in a position
TO know the good accomplished
by the w. G. 7. U. With pride
and great earnestness he referred
TO his county, Rockingham, and
said that to one of her sons, Gov.
did prohibition owe her
victory. He said that the TEN
perance people must now work to
hold what they had SO gloriously
Won.
Mrs. White, president Of the
Union, in a few we'll
selected words welcomed the body
most cordially, and in closing,
said she could think Of nothing
more encouraging to say than in
The language of Francis Willard :

There was such swell out on the lake
that the diver found it impossible to
get near the intake pipe and he is going

examinations If the weather is favora-
BILE. The members of the party went
out with Captain Barnett in the tug
early in the afternoon and an attempt
was made to anchor the tug in order
that Diver johnson might do down and
make some Investigations. The lake
was pretty well filed with slush ice
and there was a strong sea moving.
When the tug had been anchored and
the diver had prepared to go down the
boat was hit by long swell and the
ropes which held the anchors snapped
like whip cords.

The swell on the lake overwhelmed the
skiff and filed it with water and the
members of the party were fortunate
to get out with their lives. AS it was

icy water and they considered them
selves fortunate to get into the tug
and make the trip back to the harbor.

"FHE THIEF"
Something About Charles Frohman's Play
Coming to Barre.

"The Thief" which Charles Frohman
win bring to this city for the first time
at Barre opera house. Oct. 20, is from the
| pen of Henri Bernstein, one of the most
/ ingenious and successful Of contemporary
playwrights Mr.. Bernstein is already
( known for several PLAYS similar in CON
| structiOu. very similar in ingenuity and
composition. to The Thief" but it il
probable that for many year to come
he will be known in this country, as he
still is in France, as the author OF THE
Thief, despite his more recent plays.
The Thief is in three acts. 1t OBJ
serves all the unities of time place and
incident The action takes place within
twenty four hours. First produced at
the Renaissance theatre in Paris in De
cember. 1857. The Thief" made an i'm.
mediate sensation. II ran through the
entire season with NJ. Guitry and Nine
le Bargy in the chief roles. About the
loibles, the ambition. the cunning, the
love as deep as human passion and as
wide rs human fraiity OF a woman. THE
Thief is woman's play. But side by
side with the great lesson it contains
for every wife, it contains rich food for
thought for every husband. IL is the
most startling human dramatic document
put on the stage in years.
The company which will perform "The
Thief In Barre is sufficiently well known
not to need detailed introduction. Every
performer in The Thief is already gen
orally recognized as an actor or actress
of great strength OF emotion and sure
dramatic appeal
No play put on in the last twenty five
years has created the stir and received
such general appreciation as this play
from the French whose story runs as
follows;
The Voysins, husband and wife, are
visiting Mr.. and Mrs. Legardes at their
country home. The Legardes have
son, Fernend, who is smitten with Mrs
Voysin, and writes her the most ardent
love letters Mrs. Voysin, who is young
and charming, and who loves her husband
with an answering devotion. treats tine

into a serious difficulty on which he has

seen Fernand quietly creeping up the

The Legardes are astonished at the reye-

tive. He unfolds, bit by bit, however, his
evidence, and the father at last is con-
WINGED. He sends for his son. Fernand
has gone into the grounds 10 recover the
letters he wrote to Mrs. Voysin, she
having told' him where he would find
them, unopened and unread. Mrs, Voy
sin volunteers TO 90 after Fernard when
the father demands his presence. She
returns in moment with him. To the
amazement OF everybody but the detec'
tive, Fernand eonfesses his guilt, His
father, furious nc the young mans dis
grace, decides TO send him away for
period 10 distant country, where he
can earn and repay the stolen money.
OF course Fcrnand is not the thief. The
discovery Of the real culprit and the
boys exeulpation come later on. Mean
while the preparations for Fernand's
Punishment proceed. Mrs. Voysin's nice,
kindly talk, in which she told him how
futile his passion for her was as she
loved her husband too dearly TO care for
anyone else, has not had the effect of
or in any way subduing his
love for her. The relations between hus-
band and wife become painfully strained,
and continue so until the moment set for
Fernand's departure. Here disclosures
are made that put an astonishing but
satisfactory complexion upon all the cir
and the dramatist is permit
ted to carry his story TO happy con.
clusion.
