The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1908-08-27

Judge Spencer B. Adams is
bringing suit in Guilford coun-
ty against Marion Butler and
his brother, Lester F. Butler,
for libel, placing damages at
$4,000. He will also sue the
Caucasian, Marion Buffers pa
per in Raleigh, for an equal
damage. Judge Adams
charges that Marion Butler al
legged that he (Adams) &C
copied a bride while chief JUS
tlce of Chactaw and Chickasaw
Citizenship Court, of Indian
Territory, with the further al
legation that Adams rendered
decision in said court that de-
prived thousands of Indians of
their property rights. In a
lengthy interview with Judge
Adams the news gatherers at
Greensboro have given out
some spicy expressions which
he used concerning Butler. He
uses such epithets about But
Ter as "Cowardly traitor,''
"White-livered traitor" "Cow-
ardly scoundrel," "Ishmaelite
Butler" and the like. But such
10 politics.

MUCH DISSATISFACTION.

1t is an open secret that there
is much dissatisfaction in Hal
flax county at the result OF the
Democratic convention which
was held in Halifax on August
18th. The Enfield Progress
spoke out editorially last week
against some methods which
were employed to bring about
certain results; and a communi-
cation in that paper signed "In-
dignant Citizens declared
great dissatisfaction at the re-
suits of the convention. And
it has been said freely that citi-
zens in many parts of the coun-
ty declare they will not stand
by the action of the conven-
ton. One ground of complaint
is that there were pledges made
before and in the primaries
that were not kept and that un-
fair trades were made whereby
the will of the people was not
given in the convention. It is
to be regretted that such things
should transpire in Halifax
county, and if any have engag-
ed in unfair deals whereby
the will of the people was
thwarted they should stand
ready to make reparation.

An Incident in Halifax DgEiIg Recon
struCti0n Days.

The following story has been given
The COMMONWEALTH, and is vouch-
ed for as {. true incident as it occur
red in Halifax, N. c., at the close OF
the Civil War in 1866:
Two t.egvoc3 from Scotland Neck
stole tw1 Ls.i.5 Of Gotten ard rrocgnt
them to Halifax by night, ii a cart
to sell. They were caught. Eppii-
cation was made to the Mayor Of
Halifax for suitable punishment by
law. The Mayor informed them
he had no authority in law to even
order their arrest. He replied he
would give Capt. w. P. Oldham, of
Wilmington, N. c., full permission
to punish the cotton thieves just as
he wished. 1t met the approval OF
all, both white and black. 1t was
glorious opportunity for Oldham.
He had just been released from
Johnson's Island, where ne was sent
when taken prisoner at the fall Of
Petersburg. He was in Washington,
D. C. the night President Lincoln
was assasinated, then on his way to
prison. He was proud of his ap-
pointment as Judge by the Mayor Of
Halifax. He proceeded to establish
a court. Faucets store was select
ed. Tom Emery, perhaps. was the
Sheriff and Jno. Gregory was Clerk
of the Court, both good and true Of
fcers, ready to do what the Judge
ordered. The two negroes were
brought in court for trial. The
Judge made the trial short. The
evidence was good, guilt was con-
elusive. He ordered them to be
hung then and there, but allowed
25 minutes for them to pray or to
give full account Of all the mean
ness they had done. TIE cd negro
in tears prepared to pray. II there
ever was an earnest, fervent prayer
sent up to the throne of God this
was one. The old negro had so much
to call on the Lord for pardon the
crowd become very anxious for the
25 minutes to end. They knew he
could not remember to remind the
Lord of I'll he had done. So the
Judge called time Oh him. Inform
Cd him he had just received an under
ground dispatch from Gov. ". W.
Holden at Raleigh, allowing them a
choice Of being shot or hung. Both
preferred to be shot. They were
hoodwinked, all ready to be shot
when second alarm was given that
Gov. Holden had allowed each to
Give the other tl1irty nine lashes On
their bare back. They were stripped
to the belt, each given six foot
! hickory switch with orders that no
lick would be counted that failed
to bring blood. It was the most
satisfactory execution of law that
has taken place before CT since in
that county. The negroes were per-
factly satisfied, although as bloody
as hogs. The farmer got his two
bales Of cotton back. The Judge
was given a carte blanche to do as
he pleased while in Halifax. The
Judge was never treated better in
> all his life. 1t was better than
JOHNSON'S ISLAND. He was
sorry he was sent to another county.
Has never had the opportunity Of a
second call.

Never Pull In Your Sign.
(Peter Cooper.)

In all towns where a newspaper is
published every man should adver-
tise in it, if nothing more than card
stating his name and business.he is
engaged in. It nearly always pays
the advertiser and besides lets the
people at a distance know that the
town in which you resides is pros
porous community of business men
and that the people may settle in it
with a chance to make living. Nev-
er pull in your sign in a home paper
while you expect to do business.

Cotton will soon be opening
and it would be we'll if farmers
would have some concerted I'M
derstanding about what price
they will pay for picking cot
ton. If such a system could be
put into operation it would be
we'll both for the farmers and
the cotton pickers.

Great care should be taken
by farmers in saving forage
for their stock. Too much
money is sent away from al
most every community every
year for hay. While it is high
ly important to raise corn for
the farm teams, it is also i'm
portant to save rough feed for
team and cattle.
