LAW WORKS QUICKLY
Negroes Who Assaulted White Lady
Near Southern Pines Night Of Aug.
4th Tried at Carthage Tuesday.
Two Sentenced to be Electrocuted
Sept. 18th. One to Pen for IL
Years.

Those who sometimes advocate mob
law and lynching on the ground of the
Laws delay, can find no fault with the
quick justice that is being meted out to
negro rapists who assaulted a white
woman near Southern Pines the night of
August 4th and shot her husband.
The three negroes were brought 10
Carthage Monday, guarded by detach-
ment of Durham and Raleigh soldiers.
Judge Long presided and Solicitor Nash
prosecuted. Attorneys Spence, Burns
and Johnson were appointed by the Judge
to defend the prisoners. The trial began
Monday afternoon, and the case was
given to the jury Tuesday afternoon. In
Z minutes the jury returned verdict Of
guilty. Judge Long thereupon sentenced
two to die in the electric chair at the
penitentiary on Sept. 18th, and the colored
boy goes to the pen for IL years.
Ben Dixon McNeill, staff writer for the
News & Observer. wrote a graphic ac-
count of the trial for his paper, and the
Posi- DISPATCH is copying this full three

Sanitary Inspectors Here.

Sanitary Inspectors ]. A. Nc.
Leod and B. F. Rowland, Of the
State Board of Health, reached
Rockingham Monday and are
stopping at the Hotel. They will
be here for two weeks, working
in town and the surrounding
mills. They were in Hamlet for
"a week or so, and as a result of
their inspections they had "a
persons before the Recorder for
violating the sanitary laws, es,
.pecially as regards privies. Not
only that, but they found the
Central hotel there in such an
unsanitary condition that the
manager chose to close the hotel
rather than be forced to 60 to
the expense of putting it in the
required sanitary condition.
The inspectors are investigat-
ing the sanitation here in Rock
ingham, and no doubt those who
have improperly built toilets and
privies will be lacked up before
Squire Mullis and be fined and
made to pay the costs, as well as
have torebuild their privies. The
State Board of Health means bus

properly so. Better get your

well in around the roots, and next

While still among the principal
meat-eating nations of the world, the
United States is undergoing general
decline both in per capita consumption
of meat and in the number of food
animals in proportion to the popula-

country will be used at home and less
exported. A chart showing the trend
of human and live stock population in
the United States from 1850 to 1922
