Alexander, he was very much in
censed, and called into requisition his
Whoie to find out the perpe-
traitors Of SO foul a deed gains his
majesty. For a long time mystery
e~nshrouded the act. Great threats
We're made and in order TO induce
some one to turn traitor a pardon
was offered to any one who would
turn kings evidence. Ashmore and
Hadiey, half brothers. moved by the
threats and the pardon offered, de-
cioed. unknown TO each other, TO
avail themselves of the offer. Seek
ing this favor, they %accidently met
at the home Of Colonel Alexander.
Hav1ng made known their desires,
Colonel Alexander, though a colonial
oihcer. Dut n who revered loyalty
TO friends, remarked: That by virtue
or n Governors proclamation they
were p~ardoned, but that they were
the hrst that ought to be hanged"
On account of the treachery the re-
ma1nder OF the Black Boys were COM
PEELED TO lee the country. They fed
TO II State Of Georgia, where they
remained some time.
The resentment in the breast of
the bloodthirsty Royalists seemed
never to abate, and like the fleeing
fawn, the boys fed from covert to
covert to escape the punishment that

once again relying on the promises
OF Governor Tryon, they went to with
IN a short distance Of Hillsboro to
obtain the pardon of the Governor;
but finding this promised pardon to
Do only a cloak to conceal his real
intentions. they again returned to
their former hiding places and nuised
their troubles in c-oncealment. For
four they eluded their pursuers
until the spirit Of liberty grew and
biossomed into the famous Mecklen-
burg Declaration Of Independence.
The " traitors both lived a mis-
cradle life afterwards. The oath by
which they bound themselves carried
with II ~i.nprecatiOnS of the severest
type. Both with Hadley and Ash
more these iInprecations We're liter
ally fulfilled. Ashmore fed his coun-
try, but lived a miserable life and
died as he had lived. Hadley re-
manned in his country, married and
became a brutal and ia
Their.
Though but little heralded, this
neighborhood and the Black Boys,
excepting the two traitors, gave their
country an abiding pledge Of their
attachment to the cause Of liberty,
which they promptly redeemed when
ever their services were needed.
1t is interesting to observe that
while history tells of the sorrow,
trouble and downfall of the two who
broke this compact, the other seven
whc bound themselves to dc a daring
and important deed in the name OF
liberty II under strong pledges OF
secrecy and faith to each other, lived
themselves and through their Off
springs, YES that stood out in the

fruits OF a glorious victory, the re-
suit OF the spirit Of the times, such
as prompted and sustained the Ca

- ODe
Fort Worth, Texas, Nov. 2.-Clar-
ence Ousley, editor Of the Fort Worth
Record, replying to the comments OF
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and
Census Director Durand, as to Mr..
Ousley's address before the recent
declared in a statement issued to-
night. that either the Secretary and
the Director were ~nlisinformed as to
what he said or they are not frank
on the subject Of reporting cotton
consumption and cotton trade in
formation"
Mr.. Ousley declares that h does
not complain of cotton crop reporting
by the Government, but that he ap-
proves of it as a Of correcting
errors and Misrepresentation Of so
called experts who magnify it in the
interest of spinners.' Reports OF To-
spindle demand in November is of no
value to the farmers who have sold
before that time, he points out, and
urges periodical reporting OF con-
sumption and trade conditions.
9TH farmers want earlier reports
of demand" he continues; they want
additional reports OF trade conditions
from month to month just as spin
ners have reports Of averages followed
by reports Of condition every month.
Mr.. Durand last November reported
a demand of IS, 000,o 600 bales. Now
the demand is shown to be 3,739,009
bales. Meanwhile, the farmers have
sold most Of the crop.
The present system in effect is a
gamblers trick whereby the farmers
hand is mirrored by crop reporting to
the spinners' view. while the %spinners'
hand is concealed until the crop is
sold"

Farmers, at least a good many Of
them refuse to sell their cotton at
the very low prices hat are pre-

owns the famous Sweets farm, about
two miles from town. and who ex-
poets to gather from $50 to $50 bales
from 100 acres, has not sold 4 lock
Of his. nor does ne intend to at the

tereSt is that of c. r.. James, a white
man. charged with selling mining
took to negroes without license. In
the spring, James sold between ST.
500 and $4,000 worth Of this stock
to h negroes, getting part cash, and
taking their notes for the balance.
Having received no value for their
investment, they employed Walter III.
Powell, Esq, to prosecute James, who
was located at Conway, S. c., by
means of the letters he sent 10 the

negroes are together on this and will
fight against paying those notes, con-
tending that the silver Queen Min
