Portions of the body were strewn for a distance of seven miles. The body was literally whipped to fragments. It is believed that the man in some manner became fastened to the side of; a freight car or passenger coach and beat to pieces by contact with the cross ties. Portions of the body were found only on the outside of the right hand rail going toward Salisbury. Not a p'iece of clothing or particle of flesh was found between the rails. The arms and legs were not cut off by the car wheels, they were worn off by the cross ties. The head was mash ed flat and only one eye was visible. Special to Charlotte Observer. H. tmory, and J. H.

At the next meeting of the grand jury the solicit r will send in a bill against Sage and Company and Bell and Fonville. If the grand jury returns the bill a true bill, the cases will be taken up in the courts. Solicitor Heriot Clarkson was se;n by an Observer reporter yesterday afternoon and asked about these r re sentments. "If I can secure the evi dence, I will prosecute the cases to the limit of the law," he said. "We deal heavily with the poor darkey for shoot ing craps and gambling in a small way. Those who speculate in cotton, hand ling their hundreds and thousands where the negro hazards his dollars and cents, will be dealt with in the same way. The law will te allowed io take its course, irrespective of classes or conditions." Mr. C. Boyce Bell was called up ov-v the 'phone last night and asked about this action on the part of the irra-id jury. He declared that he wa3 conduct ing a legitimate business, one in fact that is necessary to the cotton interes s of this section. He denied that the Merchants and Farmers' Cotton Ex change and Bureau of Information was anything other than a straightforward business enterprise, one chartered by the state, and operating under its pre scribed privileges. Whatever concerns the cotton inter ests of the city is of moment. "Thence much interest is being manifested in these two presentments made by the grand jury yesterday. Charlotte Observer.

In the state papers yesterday morn ing there were published dispatches from several towns east of Durham in which it was told that a slick forger had visited various places and worked off forged checks and drafts for small amounts, usually $5 or $10. The same man visited Durham and left his trail behind him. A. D. Xassiter was the name under which he registers wherever he goes and he has cards with that name print ed on them. While here he stopped al the Union hotel. His bill was $2.00 when he was ready to leave and not having ready cash; lie gave a draft on his house for the amount. While draw ing the draft he said he would like to have a little cash and the young man in charge at that time accommodated him. The draft was sent in and came back no iiood. This is practically the same trick that was worked at other places. He is not getting very rich over his stealings if all the amounts are like those re ported, .but he is paying his accounts as he goes and gets some change for the next trip. Durham Herald. HOMICIDE IX FRAXKLIX THE RIXG "IUSTED" Good Results From the Democratic Primary in Mecklenburg. hear if: '-rters Tarboro, capital -'Ail by Hiram H. Jones, Andrew Geddes, A. J. 'is E. Graham all of h C". and John L. Bridg i he eomnanv will act charters the Waring Bank IKS. issue daily advance The primary election sj-stem, as op erated in Mecklenburg county this year has proven wholly successful. The sat isfactory results secured for it are the consequence of a better understanding of it, a fuller appreciation of the priv ileges it grants the people and of the possibility of the exercise through it of the influence iby majorities. The pevple have apparently Just opened their eves to their power under the primarv. Until recently when the San hedrim (bv some of the ircevereni called "The Trust") the members of whicdi thought of and managed politics when other people were at work or asleep when the Sanhedrim int :'n solemn session in Charlotte, made up a ticket and handed it out to the town ship subalterns, there seemed to be a general sort of understanding that that settled everything and that, as ! the advertiser for help in the city paper i 1 ' savs. "Xo lnsn neea ayp. But there has been an awakening and there has come a change. It las come to this this year, that men who did not have the stamp of the bim hedrim on them at all, have come out of their own motion, for offices, or 'been brought out by their friends, and, bv George! several of them car ried the primaries and were nominated by the county convention yesterday. It was a rude upsetting of the estab lished order of things and the past gov ernors of the politics of Mecklenburg must have had curious emotions when they felt the premonitory symptoms of the coming shock. It came ail right, and the people, who did not seem to realize it before, are now alive to the fact that after all they have their freedom, and it is to be hoped that there is in this result promise for the future of more opportunity for the exercise of individual choice in voting for candidates for nomination. The net amount of it all is that the people can have their own vay if they want it and have for their legislators and officers whoever they please.-Charlotte Observer. A White Man Shot Down by a Xegro for Violent Action Toward ILatte. James Perry, colored, shot three times and killed Baldy Perry, white, at Raynor, a small postoffice seven miles out in the southeastern portion of the county late yesterday after noon. The homicile occurred near Timberlake's store. The facts, as near as can be gathered, are these: The negro had in charge a dog which the white man wanted, but which the negro did nt wish to give up with out being sure as to the right party. Baldy Perry, it is said, while under the influence of liquor, went to the house of the negro in his absence, af ter the dog, and cursed around con siderably in the presence of the ne gro's wife, afterwards going off toward Timberlake's store. About three hun dred yards from the negro's house Baldy Perry was talking with parties about wanting to see James Perry, when James Perry was seen approach ing, and Baldy turned around to go and meet him. When within a few feet of each other the negro began firing and put three bullets in the white man, killing- him instantly. Xo attempt whatever to arrest the negro was made by the bystanders, nor has he been apprehended ' since, though news of the homicide was sent to officers here last night. It is not known at this writing whether he has skipped or f still at his home. It is understood, however, that the negro says the white man put his hand in his shirt bosom and he feared that be intended to shoot him. Salisbury Dispatch. TRIO OF TAR HEEL PATRIOTS A Xorthcrn Paper Does Justice to Xorth Carolina Officials Regarding the Siilisbury Lynching. Georse Hall who was sentenced to fifteen years in the state's prison at hard labor for participating in the Salisbury lynching, is not the first southerner to go to jail for this of fence, but the example made of him is so noteworty that it should have widest notoriety in the south. In every state the just and speedy punishment meted out to Hall, after a conviction by a white jury, should have a sobering effect upon those who would make of "nigger-killing" a favorite sport. Judge Long, whose attitude, like that of Gov. Glenn, is worthy of the highest com mendation, gave Hall the maximum penalty of the law; an act which should make the twenty-five other lynchers who are to be prosecuted, decidedly un comfortable.

We don't know ex actly what the American style and accent are, but in the opinion of this headmaster, if he exists, they have a distinct money and business value. If a man has them persons who Lear him talk will think that he is "an American and consequently t-normouslv rich," and do much for him; "do" him much, it might be more correct to siv. On the other hand, if they know ihi he is an Englishman, yet they will as sume from his accent and style that i he has been in America, and, th;re- ! ioie, is snrewa, energetic, and re sourceful," and "far more experienced, intelligent, and reasonable" that if he had had his business training in Eng land.
