J. W. Mixon is at his post and he is making
a fine impression upon all with whom he
has an opportunity of coming in contact.

lecture which should linger in his memory
for all time. The sentence was three years

Yesterday the case against Peter Brun
son alias Alex Gordan, charged with steal
ing a horse from James Wilder, a respect
able old colored man from the Summerton
section was tried. Brunson had no attor
ney and conducted his own dtfense, ques
tioning witnesses mainly on the point that
they did not see him steal the horse, but
he failed to satisfy the jury of his inno
cence and they returned a verdict of guilty
This man on Monday created quite a sen
sation for a short time in the court room
by fainting; many people believed he was
playing "possom." When he was called
up for sentence the Judge gave him a good
roa&ting for stealing the horde from the old
man and also for perjuring himself on. the
witness stand. The sentence was two years
in the penitentiary at hard labor.

entirely circumstatial. the prosecution de
pending mainly on the fact that Kennedy
had sold seed about the time they were sto:
en and peculiar tracks of a horse said to
belong to the defendaat. The defendant
disclaimed any knowledge of the theft and
admitted selling seed about that time, but
claimed that the seed belonged to his moth

Manning, S. C.. Feb. 27th1 895.
To His Honor I. D. WitLerspoon -Presid
ing Judge:
We have acted on the bills of indictment
presented by the Solicitor under instruct
tions from the court. We have examined
the jail and find it in such an uncomfort
able condition, and not worth improving
or adding to. We have concluded to defer
action for the present term of court, with
the hope that in the near future we can
recommend the building of a jail that will
be an honor to the county.
We have appointed committees to ex
amine the poor house and different offices
and report by the next term of court.
The roads and bridges are in a bad con
dition, but owing to the backward prepara
tion of the fartners in their crops, we
recommend only the repairing of bridges
for the present term. We recommendi in
creased vigilance by the various officers in
the enforcement of the laws, and as grand
jurors, promise to aid in every way in our
power.
We thank your Honor, for the courteous
treatment we have received "at your hands.
Respectfully submitted,

Populists Claim They Did and Democrats

Sarin Body-The Besolution
Acted Upon and Fassed.
RALEImG, N. C., February 26.-Yea
terday witnessed the most exciting and
spirited debate yet held in the house.
The epithets "liar" and "falsehood"
were bandied about pretty freely,
though in a rather indiscriminate way
and no personal difficulty ensued.
The cause of the hot debate was the
following resolution which was intro
duced by Mr. Lusk, republican of Bun
comb county, in reference to the Fred
erick Douglass matter:
Whereas, The democratic press have wil
fully and maliciously charged and published
that the general assembly of 1895 refused to ad
journ out of respect to the memory of the
birthday of Washington and Lee, but did ad
ourn out of respect to the memory of Fred
riok Douglass and.
Whereas, By such false statements they
have reflected upon the dignity and purpose Of
the present house, and
Whereas. The facts in the case are as follows:
That on the 16th day of January, 1895, that Mr.
rench offered the following resolution:
Resolved. By the house of representatives.
the senate concurring, that when this house
djourns, it adjourns to meet Monday at 3 p. m.
Mr. French moved - to suspend the
rules which was done, and the resolu
tion was adopted without a dissenting
ote and sent to the senate for concur
rance, which resolution the journal
shows was adopted. This resolution
being non-concurred in by the senate,
the house met next morning at the
usual hour and after being in session
less than half an hour, on motion of
Mr. Young of Wake, the house adjourn
ed out of respect to the memory of
Robert E. Lee, the same being his
birthday.
'The (deorge Washington M[atter.
on the 21st day of February a resolu
ion to adjourn from Thursday until
Saturday, out of respect to the memory
of George Washington, was offred by
Mr. Williams, of Craven, and was
passed by a very large majority, the
same was not concurred in by the sen
ate. The house met the next day as
usual, a motion was made by Mr Lush
to adjourn out of respect to the mem
ry of George Washington, the same
being his birthday. and the same was
adopted naanimously ; and
Whereas. On the 21st day of February a res
lution was offered by Mr. Crews, of Granville,
that the house adjourn at 1.2 o'clock out of re
pect to the memory of Frederick Douglass,
when his sudden death was announced, the
house did not agree to adjourn at this hour,
but when the purpose of the motion was ex
plained to simply give publicity to the sudden
and unexpected death ot this distinguished
deceased. it was concurred in by all parties.
and as a matter of fact, the house did not ad
ourn until thirty-seven minutes after the time
required by the rules for adjournment: now,
therefore, be it
Resolved. That in the interest of truth and
accuracy of history, the utterances and exprea
sions of the democratic press in this city are
denounced as unjust, untrue, misleading, mali
cious and libelous.
Resolved further, That this record as above
recited, and resolutions, be spread upon the
minutes of the house.
What are the Facts in the Case T
Though no denial is made in the
above resolutions of the fact that the
legislature adjourned in honor of Fred
Douglas. it is declared that that body
did adjourn in honor of Lee and Wash
ington.
In reference to the first named, this
is utterly false as is shown by the daily
newspaper reports of all political par
ties of that date. The house journal of
that date is generally believed to have
been doctored. It is well known that
the house refused to adjourn in honor
of Washington till severely castigated
for their action by the newspapers and
the public generally.
The debate consumed the whole day,
and though the democratic leaders
clearly showed, by both democratic
and populist papers, that the resolu
tion was false, it was passed by a strict
party vote of 53 to 27.
