* aaPp + I mi MRS. VIOLA MARSHALL. MRS. MARSHALL SUFFERED WITH SYSTEMIC CATARRH. PE RU NA SAVED HER. Mrs. Viola Marshall, 1117 East Jack- •on street, Springfield, 111., writes: ••Two months ago when I sought your advice, and you told me that / was suffering from systemic catarrh, I had gotten so had that / could not bear the jolt of walking and had to lie down most of the time. “I bejran taking your Pernna and now I feel like a new woman. “I can walk just as far as I please without feeling any fatigue and I have taken only three bottles of Peruna. “I shall never cease praising Peruna, nor thanking Dr. Hartman for his kind advice.” Systemic catarrh claims many victims because this disease is not always un derstood, and therefore not correctly treated. What is needed is an internal catarrh remedy which exerts a healing effect on the mucous membranes of the entire body. Such a remedy is Pernna. The sin cere letters of those who have expe rienced its benefits in such cases are evidence of its medicinal value. NEGROES LYNCHED BY N, C, MOB, ATTACKING PARTY WOUNDED BY TROOPS.

Despite the Presiding Judge’s Assur ance That the Prisoners Would be Protected Militia is Overpowered. Charlotte, N. C., Aug. 0.—A mob of 1,000 determined men, shortly before 11 o'clock tonight forcibly entereu Rowan county jail at Salisbury, re- noved therefrom three of the five negroes charged with the murder of the Lyerly family at Barber Junction, Inly in, and lynched them. Neise tnd John Gillespie and Jack Dilling- 'iam, supposed to he principals in the crime, were the victims of mob ven- ieance. The remaining negroes. Hen ry Lee, George Ervin and Della Dil lingham. were not molested and later tonight officers hurried them off fo Treensboro. The mob began gathering at sun- lown. Mayor Hoyden promptly or- lered the saloons closed and with other prominent citizens, United St Hos Senator Overman and Judge Long, who was holding the special term of court to trv the negroes and Solicitor Hammer, gathered on the ’cil steps and addressed the crowd .vhich at that time numbered 2,000. There were howls and oat-calls from ne mob, hut for a time there was no nove—the mob lacked a leader. A'hile citizens were appealing to the nob. two men slipped through the ■>nwd and were entering the jail with cammers. The mob continued its ' ‘■Ting, but there was still no concert- i move. About 9 o’clock- Mayor Boy- lea called upon the local military •onmany, the Rowan Rifles, for aid. They assembled quickly but were siip- alied only with blank cartridges, hav ing no orders to shoot to kill. Fire- nan Mel. ndon, of Charlotte, a South- employe;-, was shot in >y a bullet said to have a member of the mob. y wounded.

Judgt Lon* r . presiding at this special term devoted most of his charge to tin subject of lynching, declaring that the prisoners would be protected ai ill hazards and that any interferenm with such Intent would he summarily nunished.

The negroes were taken to Salisbury from Charlotte last night without militar- guard, the authori- tie ■ seeming to fear little that any violence will be done them.

THE MISSING SPEECHES. raiiw; ! .)(• stO’li,! been Tired 'it' va.s f" nan, a nt •imisly hot te 'loth wounds a tecidently, ocea few wild shots the mob with tl frightening citizens. At Iff o’clock there was a stir in the mob—-it was augmented by fully 500 men, who came, it is said, from Whitney, where the Whitney Reduct ion company is developing the Yad kin water power. It was but a few’ minutes after their arrival when a crowd of 50, forming a sort of flying wedge, made a break for the jail doors, overpower ed the officers and effected an en trance. The great crowd outside surg ed in behind the leaders and in a few moments more emerged from the door tvith their victims. The negroes were quietly marched northward toward Spencer, but a halt was made at Hen derson’s ball ground- on the edge of town. There the negroes were given time to confess the crime. They re fused to eithe*’ deny or confess and were so thoroughly frightened as al most to have lost the power of speech. John Gillesnie wept pieteously and begged for his life. Tiring of the ef forts to secure statements ropes w'ere ouicklv brought forward and adjusted and the three were strung up to the Tmbs of one tree and with how-Is and curses the crowd riddled the | dangling bodies with bullets. By 12:20 o’clock it was all over and i a half hour later nothin** remain ul of I i •!»; immense throng tint had packed ! the streets but a few groups of citi zens discussing tb^ lynching. George Ervin was taken from the • ail with his associates and closely questioned. Then the mob led him ; back to his cell. Nease Gillespie maintained his in- | nocence to the end. The other two I would neither confess nor deny the crime. Ed. Barber, a relative of the . murdered man, followed the mob with ’he prisoners to the scene of the lynching and pleaded with them to re- I turn the negroes to the jail and let ! the law take its course, hut the mob | was blood-thirsty and heeded him not. j Fireman McLendon, wounded by a I stray bullet from the mob, will die. His home is in Charlotte. He was simply an interested spectator of the scene. Assurances of the Judge. Charlotte, N. C., Aug. G.—Nease and John Gillesnie. Jack- Dillingham, Henrv l^ee. George Ervin and Bella Dillingham, the negroes charged with W jlkinsville Speeches Arrive After Having Been Overlooked. In the last issue of The Ledger the account given of the megting at Wilkinsville was. through some mis understanding, confused. The speech attributed to Virgil McCraw was made by Kimsey O. Huskey. This was an oversight due to a part of the copy being lost and we trust it will not oc cur again. The following is what was left out in our last issue, the begining is the latter part of Virgil McCraw’s speech: Had taught school and was familiar with all the duties of the office and would see that the laws would be car- -ied out if elected. Had no special Tight io make on Mr. Walker’s ad ministration. After a recess of about one hour • he candidates for sheriff were called. it. O. Ballenger. Said it was his first candidacy for anv office and ask ed the support of the voters. W W. Thomas. Was grateful for '-he past favors of the people and hoped to be re-elected. Hid served the people to the best of his ability. Had been complimented by the judges f "r the management of the office and was proud of the same. R. J. Foster. Had never asked for an office. Was a mechanic aul ask ed for the office on his <>wn merits. Had the ability to fill it. A. L. Hallman. Believed the people were courteous enough to think- he was competent to fill the office. Served six years on the police force and his record as State constable and marshal was public property that anybody could inspect as to whether or not he did his duty. Speaking a compliment to Mr. Thomas he said. Its natural for one officer to extend courtesy to another. Clerk of Court.—J. Eb. Jefferies. Was nearly in sight of where he was born and raised and among hi s own people whom he had endeavored to serve faithfully. Had been clerk since the organization of Cherokee county and was getting more and more familiar with the duties of the office. Had endeavored to do h.s du ty to all irrespective of class or peo ple. Wa s running on his own merits and not the demerits of opponents if they had any. It was the “outs” and not the ’ ins” that wanted rotation in office. His competitors should show some reason for his dismissal from the office. Had done his duty and tried |o treat a n a]j| ie> Other counties held their clerks for long terms. s,,m e f or more than thirty years an they have prospered by it. ’ He had be<-n faithful to every trust commit ted to him, and defied a contradic tion to that statement. He wts identified with the laboring people in oo xing after :,heir interests and was is much their servant ,as anybody <d«es. His record of nine years was open for inspection, and he looked to the people for its approval or disap- •iroval. Had served the old soldiers and widows in their pension mitter without ever receiving or claiming a ci;nt for it. It was a pleasure for ban to serve them. Had been charg ed with unfaithfulness in the discharge of this duty but had letters and show ed vouchers that it was not correct | as charged. He referred to Pension Commissioner G. W. McKown in one •'"•tieular to bear him out. M. A. (Non) Sarratt. Was a candi date on the Democratic platform. Had been before the people before ami its not his fault that he has no record. If you give me a chance 1 will make one. Have not charged Mr. Jefferies with any wrong doing Its right to change these offices and give others a chance at them. Z. A. Robertson. Has no apology for being a candidate. The main issue is rotation in office. Its not democracy to keep one man in office always. lave 500 men in Cherokee county .h would make good clerks. Been n Gaffney twelve years and a tax aver, too. Was a friend to the sol iers His father was one and he >ved them and the cause for which hey fought. J. C. Hollis. Had no speech pr& red. no issue in this office. Thinks ie lias as much -ability to fill it as •ither of his competitors. Was of ipiuion that with sixty days training 00 men in the county could fill it as veil as Mr. Jefferies. First time he aver asked for an office. Was com- dimented by Solicitor Henry for et- icient work in the engrossing depart- nent in the legislature. Representatives.—S. A. S. Camp bell. Couldn’t say very much in so short a time as ten minutes. Favored ducation of the man but the colleges are too high for scholars from the rural schools to enter and wanted more and better schools in the coun ty among the farming classes. Gaston Littlejohn. If elected would do his duty. Wanted good schools a*- ’ good roads to make this a model county. Saw in North Carolina a wagon hauling two and a half cords of wood along the public road. Was born in Union county. Intemperance was an evil which should be dis couraged if it couldn’t be stopned al together. Was a prohibitionist and would do all he could to remove liquor and its evil consequences which led to nothing but devilhood. N. W. Hardin. The goverment was made up of departments. Legislation, executive and judicial. He was as piring to the legislature to represent 20,000 p >ople and millions of money. Favored education, good roads and local option Was in favor of the Brice bill. Opposed the dispensary and favored local option. Couldn’t skin a cat much less a man in ten minutes. J. \. Price. Spoke from notes. Wanted liberal pensions for old sol diers. Wants to do all it is possible tor the schools and have better roads. If counties want dispensary let them have them opposed to State dispen sary in Columbia. If we have liquor wo want good liquor. W. F. McArthur. Ten minutes too sh>rt a time to talk much. We are all wanting education. But how are v,\‘ to get it? Who is the doctor? We must have more money. Refused $20 a month to teach school. Teach ers must be paid fair salaries to get good teachers. If we can get the money we can get the schools anti the education. Be his duty to look after such matters. Teachers can’t afford to build their own school houses, favors electing teachers for one j;ear at a time. Would rather have the judgment of twelve good jurors than three judges. Favors the Brice bill. Barrooms can never get back till the constitution is changed they are dead in South Carolina. W. G. Austell. Was in the legisla- ture when this county was formed. Kefered to the journals of 1890 and 18J7. Approved of State and county disnensaries. Favors better schools and roads. Legislature levies State taxes. Is in favor of reducing taxes to the lowest point they can be con sistent with the government judici ously and economically administrated. Doesnt’ propose to he illeberal with any of the institutions. It is our duty as good citizens to foster for the good of humanity anti pure government. E. J. Clary, Realizes the responsi bility he assumes in presenting him self as a candidate for the lower hous- 1 of the State legislature. Want I ed the office to run for him.
