Salisbury, N. C., Speeial--Geo. Hall the ex-conviet, who led the lynchers Monday iight, was tried before Judge B. F. Long in the Rowan coun ty court house here for conspiracy found guilty and sentenced to fif teen years in the penitentiary, the jury being out but a few minutes. Friday was a very interesting day in court. The trial of Hall began early and continued until late. Soli citor Hammer sprung a surprise in trying the defendant on the charge of conspiracy, rather than of murder. The special venire summoned here was not used at all. The croivd in the court room was small. The mul titudes has not enthused over the case. The feature of the day was the appearance of Governor Glenn as a witness. The defendant subpoenaed him in to say where he was on the day that he issued the call for the special term of the.court now in ses sion. It was the intention of Governor Glenn to leave here on an early train but he was left. There was general rejoicing in Salisbury among the bet ter people over 'he conviction pf Hall. The charges against Bully Boy, George Gentle and Francis Cress may not be pressed at this term of the court. Judge Long and the solicitor and the sheriff are tired.

Cumberland. Md., Special.-See retarv of the Navy Charles J. Bona parte delivered an address Sunday t] eveining at the Alleghaney Chautau n qua. near 'Cumbberland, before a large gathering. his subject being "Anarchism and Its Remedy." He referred to the assassination of Lincoln. Garfield and McKinley and 0 said that the measures finally adopt- t ed, after Czolgoz's crime, to rid the ] country and the world of /anarchists b were plainly mere palliatives. "We have now a home-made brand of the 1 anarchist." he said, "and, although the original 'plant' of -this 'infant industry was undoubtedly imported, the domestic product is large enough to gravely trouble us. Anarchims is a the product of two conditions which a prevai!., to a greater or less extent, everywhere among the less enlighten ed classes of modern civilized society, namely, the decay of religious faith and a measure of superficial, and therefore unsoun< popular educa tion. Secretary Bonaparte agreed that the negro in the' South before the war represented more nearly the ideal condition of s-ociety from a so cialistic view point than any other class ever had. Continuing he said: "So much of the evil.

But it has been already made much less dangerous and harmful by being dealt with seriously and rationally. t without regard to a little doctrinnaine prejunice and a little paudo-huiani tarian elaptrap. "In the first place the unlawful acts prpmpted by anarchism should be made crimes. in so far as they are not strictly speaking, crimes already, t and, as crimes, they should be visited with such penalties as are particular ly distasteful to the criminals and therefore the most effective deter rents to erime."
