Night Rider is Captured.
Brownsville, Ky., April 5.?After
an all-night vigil at his cabin, ten
^ miles from Brownsville, Sheriff Gillis
Vincent of this county and a party
of ten picked men effected the cap?
ture yesterday morning of Jesse Anderson,
who is charged with being
the leader of the band of night riders
who recently killed the 12-yearold
son of Mrs. Del Carroll and whipped
two other members of the family
Anderson was away from his home
t'igfc- ;;?t the* time of the arrival of the
r^^sheriff and the deputies. By in'
quiry they learned that lie had gone
away heavily armed. The sheriff de4
eided to await his return and the
* watch of several hours was rewarded
> by the appearance of the man they
ViqH o HflA across his
DVUg Uti AAV UMU * v ??
arm, but set it down to unlock the
door, to be immediately seized by the
deputies who crept up on him. Anderson
vigorously denies that he was
ft member of the raiders, the details
of whose attack upon the Carrolls
have just been made known.
When the band broke into the
Carroll home the boy who was shot
{ attempted to run. When the bullet
struck him he fell to the ground and
^ began to cry piteously for his mother
| and brothers to come to him. Instead
I of permitting it, the band seized the
F 12-year-old son and the 18-year-old
i . daughter and whipped them. Afterward
members of the rtfiders picked
\ up the wounded child, brought him
to the door and threw him on the
bed, where he died.
8everal .members of the Carroll
family, it is safci^have identified Anderson,
who is now in the Brownville
Jail, as the leader of the night riders.

A Worthless Female at the Bottom
of the Homicide.
At Washington, N. C., Samuel G.
Tayloe, a member of a prominent
t family, was shot and killed in a re,
sort on the outskirts of that place
Thursday night. Five shots were
fired by Carl Kelly, all entering the
body of Tayloe. Tayloe, on being
hot, started to make his way to a
r hosDital. but fell and died before
' . reaching it.
Kelly left the scene of the shooting
in great haste and was chased
; by a posse with dogs. Automobiles
also joined in the pursuit. Kelly
made his escape, but later telephoned
the sheriff from his residence in
the city. A strong guard was placed
about the jail after Kelly had been
lodged therein, as excitement was
Intense. The' cause ef the killing
has not been ascertained, but it is
aid that a woman was at the bottom
of it. Acting on orders from
j Governor Kitchin, a company of National
Guards is on duty to prevent
the lynching of Carl Kelly.

MATTER SETTLED.
Denmark Will Have White Enumerator
for White Population.
Last week we published a short
article in reference to a negro being
appointed to take the census for the
town of Denmark. At the time we
stated that it was the policy of the
government to have negro enumerators
for negroes only, and that white
enumerators would enumerate white
population. However, as the information
came from a gentleman who
had talked with the negro appointee,
A' 1- A 11 -11 X? ~1 ?
we iQUUgai 11 wen iu give cue uiaccei
publicity in order that the people
of Denmark might be saved from this
if possible.
Thursday morning a good friend
of ours, Mr. J. R. Owens, came down
on the morning train from Denmark
to inquire as to the source of our information.
We referred him to the
gentleman who had given us the information,
and he at once went to
see him. The result was that a mass
meeting of citizens was held at Denmark
the same afternoon, and a respectful
letter sent to Mr. George
Waterhouse at Beaufort, supervisor
of the census for the second district.
We mailed to the supervisor a copy
of our paper containing the article,
and Thursday afternoon we received
the following telegram from Supervisor
Waterhouse: "Thanks for
paper. Whites in Denmark town
will be enumerated by white enumerator."
We at once called our friend,
Mr. J. A. Wiggins, at Denmark, over
the 'phone and stated to him the
contents of the telegram. He told
us that he would write the supervisor
that this would be satisfactory. Last
Saturday morning we received the
following letter from Mr. Waterhouse:
'
"Beaufort. S. C., April 1st, 1910.
"Mr. A. W. Knight, Editor Bamberg
Herald, Bamberg, S. C.
"Dear Sir: I have your paper of
the 31st, and am delighted to note
its enterprising appearance, and
'snappy' tone. From the character
of this issue, I should judge your
community to be unusually wideawake.
But what concerned me
most in your columns were the reference
to the taking of the census. The
enumerator, C. R. McMillan, to whom
you referred will only take the census
of the negroes in Denmark town.
I shall, at once, take steps to have
a white enumerator take the census
of the whites in Denmark town, and
surrounding territory.
"However, I do not agree with
your further remarks, when you say
'This sort of thing should not be
put on our white people, etc.'
Whose fault is it? Our own white
peoples' fault. It would please me,
of course, to have appointed a white
enumerator, other things being
equal, but when on a competitive
examination a negro makes a better
showing, wh^t is to be done? There
is nothing else to be done, but appoint
a white man for the whites, in
spite of the merits of the case, the
situation being as it is, but there is
no call to blame any one outside of
your own community. Your community
should have supplied candi^
dates who would have made it practicable
to appoint them because of at
least equal standiag on the examination.
"As a matter of fact, while the
department is not giving out the
rating,, it may be said that quite a
large number of white candidates for
the position of enumerator in Bamberg
county failed; I shouldn't care
to tell you how many, it is sufficient
to say that most of them failed,
while C. R. McMillan passed. This
is no cause for saying the whites
should be indignant 'at this sort of
thing.' It is an instance, where we
whites must take warning.
If you like, this letter may be
PUDlMpea, DUt, 111 ClOSlIlg I ucsycan
you* continued good-will, and in
turn assure you of my desire to obtain,
In a way satisfactory to all, the
most accurate census yet taken.
Yours truly,
GEORGE WATERHOUSE,
Supervisor of the Census, Second
District.
P. S. I have wired you this afternoon
saying in substance what is
told in this letter namely, that a
white enumerator to take the census
of the whites will be appointed."
In reply, we went pretty thoroughly
into the matter, but we do not publish
our letter for the reason that
tee do not care to advertise ourself
so much. Besides, we do not think
it would interest the public. Our interest
in the matter was to prevent
if possible the assignment of a negro
enumerator to Denmark, and this
having been settled, we were satisfled.
We assured the supervisor of
our continued good-will, and of our
desire to assist in any way possible,
in the result he desires, which is an
accurate census, in a way satisfac
tory to all.

In the beauty and freshness of j
irly spring-time, just after the hapy
celebration of our dear Saviour's
jsurrection, the whole world seems
nusually bright and joyful. Such
as the appearance and genuine feellg
of our little company on last
uesday afternoon while gathered at
tie magnificent home of Misses
eida and Sudie Ritter in honor of
ur much-loved friend, Miss Ethel
[earse, the bride-to-be.
This fair young maiden, sweet and
ttractive at all times, was a dream
r perrect loveliness ana pumy on
his occasion as she graced those
ecorated parlors, so tastefully atred
in a costume of delicate pink
ilk with corresponding laces and
Ibbons, and as the hours passed,
le merry party indulged in various
lodes of amusement and sweet
trains of classic music pealing forth
rom a grand electric piano, we sat
nd admired her gentle nature, and
ilently complimented the fortunate
ero who displayed such noble judglent
in selecting a companion.
After the writing and reading of
5ast8 to the bride, which were rich
nd amusing, we were hospitably inited
in to the prettily arranged dinlg-room,
where dainty and delicious
3freshments were served, and there,
ree from embarrassment and critiisin
of the opposite sex, our number
f feminines partook heartily and
eally enjoyed several moments of
lie entertainment.
The presents were numerous and
arefully selected and sufficiently
rove the love and esteem in which
Ithel is held by her many girl
rienda.
She bids us a smiling good-bye
nd wends foot-steps towards a new
ind?"the land of flowers"?so said
3 be, and we sincerely wish they
lay prove themselves to be real
owers, which for her will never lose
