for his own life in front of a posse
of ueteriniued Lexington men.
Sheriff Corky is wounded with No.
4 shot in tho hand and face, and
is now at tho home of Air. 1). J.
Caughman, a few miles from tho
town of Lexington, where he is being
aliened by Dr. Wingard.
The shooting occurred Wednesday
morning on Air. 1). J. Caughman's
place, llynum was working a
crop on that place, but a few days
ago left his crop. In order to protect
his interests, Mr. Caughman
put a gang of laborers in the Helds,
which liyuuni had deserted. The
negro drove oil' the hands with a
shotgun. Mr. Caughman went to
town and swore out a warrant for
liyuuni, which was placed in the
hands of tho sheriff to serve, and
Sheriff Corley, always ready to perform
his ollicial duty, went at once
to arrest the negro. He was found
on the place of Air. Caughman, and
as the sheriff approached his house,
the negro lirod with the shotgun,
part of the load tearing up the
sheriff's baud and the rest lodging
in his face. The sheriff was at once
iarried to the home of Mr. Caughman
and the physician summoned.
At noon a telephone message from
Lexington stated that the sheriff had
not yet recovered from the shock of
the wound, but hopes are entertained
that the wounds will not prove fatal
or serious.
Tho negro Immediately made his
escape, leaving his family on the
place. HUs former home is north of
the town of Lexington, but ho is said
to have gono south toward the sandhill
section, uad he is being followed
in that direction by a large posse of
Lexington citizens, with bloodhounds
If pnntiirt'H mm ho donht
less will be, it is not likely that he
will ever be put in jail, lie is said
to be a bad negro, and the citizens
with whom ho worked last year
stated to The Columbia Record that
he had always given trouble.
Sheriff Corley is one of the most
popular men in Lexington county,
and one of the best officers in the
State, cool, determined and courageous.
The town of Lexington was
practically deserted Wednesday, as
the men were all out hunting for
the negro, and the whole surrounding
country is being thoroughly
sea relied.
In the absence of Governor Ansel
in New York, Secretary Bethea is
energetically using the telephone
wires to keep constantly in touch
with the situation. If good judgment
and diligence here can prevent
it, there will be no lynching in
Lexington. Mr. Bethea, however, is
relying confidentially on the lawabiding
element in Lexington to prevent
a lynching.
Not Yet Caught.
A telephone message from Lexington
to The Record at 2:30 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon stated that the
negro had been tracked by the posse
to a point across the railroad.
about three miles south of where the
shooting took place, anil from signs
it was evident that the negro had
stopped for a rest at a log near a
branch. The posse has gone on into
the woods after Itho negro. The
bloodhounds from the penitentiary
and the county chaingang are 011
the trail and the men following are
confident that they are on the right
scent. The gentleman giving the information
stated that it was not
thought the men composing the posse
would lynch the negro, but if
he shows fight when cornered, as
lie probably will, he will be killed in
short order. The negro is said to
have Indian blood in his makeup.
The news of the sohoting in some
mysterious way reached the home of
the negro a few miles north of Lexington
in a wonderfully short time,
and it is reported in Lexington that
the house of the negro's father is
guarded by the negroes of the family.
The negro has gone in the opposite
direction from this place, but
it may be his idea to circle around
and reach his home, if he can evade
me pussc.
Sheriff Corley is at this hour said
to bo in great pain, and the shot
have not yet been extracted from h's
wounds. Ho was bred on by the
y negro from a window, with a shotgun
loaded with No. 4 shot, the shot
entering the right side of his face
s ard neck, his breast and his right
| | hand, the hand being badly wounded.
: He was about 3 0 feet off when the
I j negro fired, and saw that the negro
' was about to shoot, and had the
i drop on him. The sheriff shot twice,

but did not hit the n< gro. The

The president's visit to Petersburg,
nee the 'citadel of the Confederacy,'
as had the city aflutter for more
linn a month, and the plans for his
ntertainment surpassed anything of
lie sort ever undertaken here. The
eeasion of Mr. Tail's lirst visit into
lie South as president was taken
dvantage of l?y the Virginians for a
isplay of hospitality for which the
action long has been noted.
Upon his arrival shortly after 11

From Fort Stedman the president
nd his party were driven the mile
nd a half to Fort Mahone, wh* re the
lartranft statute has been construc.t(1
at a cost of $50,000. Every inch

uring the siege of Petersburg. Old
oldlers in blue and in gray rode
ide by side from Stedman to Mn
lone.
At t lie unveiling of the Ilartranft
tat no President Taft said:
"We are met on the soil of Vir;inia
to dedicate a memorial to the
iravery of the sons of Pennsylvania,
xhibited in a contest to death with

illy a few miles distant form that
Iramatic scene at Appomattox heween

he great qualities of the heart and
oul of each and which was the real
ud of the terrific struggle between
ho two sections.
"Here, in and about Petersburg,
he outwork of Richmond, the home
if the Confederacy, were carried on
hose besieging operations, begun

trategy and the wealth of expedient

orces of the South, worn out by
onstant assaults and incessant lianiuering,
were compelled to yield to
;reater numbers and resources of the
sorth."
President Taft added: "It is 44
cars since the battle of Fort Steadnan.
In that time the bitterness of
he internecine struggle has passed
way and we now treasure as a com11011
heritage of the country the bracry
and valor of both sides in that

rihute to the Southern forces hy
aying that a contest was given hy

As the Roanoke settled Capt.
Aronson and his men got under way
in a small boat. They rowed the '

J
Life on Thursday While Visiting n

President Taft's presence in Char- ,
h
lotto Thursday lent notable interest tU>
the annual celebration ol' the sign- u
ing of the Mecklenburg declaration n
of independence, which, it is claimed, s
was the lirst sti p toward liberty tak- a
en by the American colonists. The
president's participation marks the r
culmination of a three days' celo- 51
bration. 11
The Mecklenburg declaration long v
has been the subject of a stubborn Y
controversy. It is declared by its
supporters to have antedated the a
famous declaration of July 4, 1 771?,
and lias been denounced as a "myth." "
'1 lie difference between the upholders v
of the Mecklenburg document and ''
its critics long have been considered ?
irreconcilable. it was with great 1
elation, however, that the people of 11
North Carolina secured the accept- '
ance of President Tal't to attend the ^
festivities of the closing day of the
celebration of I'JU'J. 0
The president upon his arrival ?
in Charlotte at 10:15 o'clock was s
met at the railway station by an ini- s
posing committee of citizens and eseorted
;it once to the Selwyn hotel.
As the regular Southern railway A
train bearing the president's car
crossed the city limits, a presidential
salute of 2 1 guns was llred by the ^
Charlotte artillery. Arriving at the
hotel, the president held a reception *
for one hour. At noon, with scores ^
of Union and Confederate veterans a
for his escort, accompanied by Mrs. ^
"Stonewall" Jackson, lio proceeded
to the reviewing stand, l'rom which
he witnessed the passing of probably
the most notable parade ever held ^
in Charlotte.
The militay escort to the president
during his stay in Charlotte
consists of troop E of the Eleventh i
United States cavalry, a battalion of
the Seventeenth Infantry band. A
detachment of the regulars headed
the military division of the parade. *
Altogether there were eight divis- r
ions to the pageant as follows: ^
Industrial, floral, colonial, eques- a
trian, farmers, fraternal societies c
and secret orders, automobiles and a
the fire department. Large detach- a
ments of the National Guard of
North and South Carolina were in 1
line. The industrial, colonial and 11
floral divisions were made up of e
handsomely decorated floats.
The president made two speeches a
during his stay in Charlotte. Fol- ()
lowing a luncheon at 'J p. 111. he ad- *4
dressed the people at 4 o'clock. Gov- _
ernor Kitchen introduced the presi- 1
%
dent on both occasions. At 5:30 4
he delivered an address especially z
to the colored people and to the
students of Middle university. At a
o..?u me president dined and from 1
?S to f>: it 0 held a second public rec- a
( option. The president left at 10:30 J1
o'clock Thursday night for Washington.
'
Interest in the president's visit to "
Charlotte centered in the attitude
he would take toward the Mecklen- 11
burg declaration of independence.
Presi^net Taft takes the position
that regardless of the exact language
of the declarations made in May,
177f>, a full year before the signing '1
i of the declaration at Philadelphia,
July 4, 1770, the fact remains that
j there was a declaration of independence
on the part of the citizens of .
North Carolina.
"It. is not so material as to the s
exact language used," said President 1
Taft, "The measure of the declara- *
tion for the principles of civil liberty 1
and self government is not so much f
the abuse or denunciation of the for- ?
mer controlling power as provisions c
made for the future form of govern- v
ment. The impressive thing about N
the North Carolina proposition is x
the sensible way in which the people c
of the State, after deciding to sever
relations with Great Britain, went '
about the matter of setting up a
government of their own."
The president in his speech does
not undertake to reconcile the long- rj
existing differences. The important
thing, after all, he points out, is
the ability of the Anglo-Saxons to
rule and the impressive way they
have always gone about the setting 1
j up of simple and just forms of gov- c
eminent and mean sof maintaining <
civil lilierty. ,
