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.

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-

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

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

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

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

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.

.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
