When the negroes came home from

spoken, but that was the last meeting

held in Hambright.
Every negro found guilty of mis-

warned against it's recurrence. The
sudden appearance of this host OF
white cavalry grasptng at their Threats

The news of the order of the mill
tary commandment of District No. @"
comprising the Carolinas, abrogating
the decision of the North Carolina SUI
preme court forbidding the intermar-
riages of negroes and whites,s fell like
bombshel on Campbell county. The
people had not believed that the mill
tary authorities would dare to go to
the length of attempting to force So
cial equality.
This order from Charleston was not
only. explicit, its language was pecu-
Harly emphatic. It apparently COM
manded III ernlarriage, and ordered the
military to enforce the command at
the point Of the bayonet.
The feelings of the people were
wrought to the pitch of fury. 1t
needed but Il word from daring lead
er. aud a massacre of every negro,
scalawag aud carpetbagger in the
county might have followed. The Rev.
John Durham was busy day and night
seeking to allay excitement and pre-
vent an uprising Of the white popu-
! l2Sion.
Along with the announcement OF
! this military order came the startling
snews that Simon Legree, whose in
fanny was known from end to end of
I the state was to be the next governor,
fand that the Hon. Tim Shelby was q
! candidate for, chief Justice of the SUI
preme court. ..,.-..-
Legree was in Washington at the
time on a mission to secure q stand of
10000 rifles from the secretary of war,
with which to arm the negro troops
he was drilling for the approaching
election. The grant was made, and
Legree came back in triumph with his
rifles.
Relief for the ruined people was
now hopeless dream. Black despair
was clutcning at every white mans
heart. The taxpayers had held con-
vention and sent their representatives
to Washington. exposing the mon
strous thefts that were being commit
ted under the authority of the govern
ment by the organized band Of thieves
who were looting the state. But the
thieves were the pets of politicians
high in power. The committee of tax
payers were fnsulted and sent home to
pay their taxes.
Now. then. suddenly out of the
shadows of the night rode the white

 RATHER THAN JAIL BARS

From the situat on of a single man with serious charge hanging over him to that of husband, free from care, all in the space of shorl hour, was the experience yesterday Of Dave Freeman, a negro.
 Freeman was arraigned before Magistrate Gabe Meyer on serious charge. His victim was negro Fl. Minnie Francis, 16 years old. The evidence was all against Free man and the magistrate bound him over to await the action of the grand ury. However, extenuating circum- stances prompted the magistrate to give the negro an opportunity to square himself and upon Magistrate Meyers augges. on Freeman readily agreed to marry the girl.
 A marriage license was procurei and the magistrate performed the ceremony in the presence of Assist ant Prosecuting Attorney T. G. Parham, who conducted the case for the state, Irving Reinberger, Free mans attorney, and other court at tendants and spectators.
 The magistrate solemnly charged Freeman that he would suspend luds- ment pending the negro's behavior for five years and Il the event that any violation of any kind that woul' cause the authorities any trouole tnlS case would be reopened and taken up by the grand jury.
 The negro was profuse Tn Ills thanks and assured the court liia' h0 would "be good" for all tlme'
