SENATE APPROVES
MR, WRIGHT'S BILL
TO PURIFY BALLOT
Jamestown Exposition Ap
propriation is
Passed.
With only one dlsscptlng vote the
senate Wednesday passed the bill of
Mr. Wright, of lllchmond, for the purl-
flcatto'n of the ballot. The Jamestown
appropriation also passed.
After that the session was devoted
to the discussion of the bucketshop bill
and the'substltute recommended by the
committee on agriculture. Senator
Crawford Wheatley demonstrated his
ability to amply care for himself In a
running Are of debate.
Member after member took a tilt at
him, but he bowled them over by the
aptness.of his reply or the quick
of his-repartee.
Following a long discussion as
whether the senate flrst adopt the sub
stitute or tlie report of the comndttee,
the president ruling for the former,
Senator Wheatley opened the discus
sion In advocacy of his substitute.
“I favor allowing the brokerage
houses to stay In Georgia," he said, “If
we can catch the speculating members
of the Cotton Association with them.
If they are in New York why we can’t
place our hands on such fellows.”
He forced an admission from Senator
Williams that he had speculated in
bucketshops. Later Senator Williams
ssked: • -
“Isn’t it true that the senator
himself cannot explain the difference
between a bucketshop and an ex
changed
When the laughter had subsided,
Senator Wheatley came back:
“No, not to the senator. The Lord is
responsible for his inability to compre
hend, and not I.”
Afterwards lie apologized for ’ the
personal remarks, and the two shook
hands.
Senator Bunn spoke strongly and
clearly against the substitute, and said
• It the whole question between liuck-
etshops and exchanges was simply a
distinction without a difference. All
were gambles pure and simple, he said,
.. Reconsider Hall Bill.
On motion of Senator McHenry the
senate (reconsidered its action of Tues
day In'defeating the Hail tax assessor
bill. - I - .
Senator Hand immediately moved to
table the bill, and it will be taken up
at a later date.
Jamestown Appropriation.
Without debate and with a few min
or amendments the senate passed the
resuldtiofi of Mr. Russell, of Musgogee,

Georgia at the Jamestown exposition

TWO GATLING GUNS
TO THECOUNTYJAIL
Salisbury Under Martial
Law—Investigation of
Lynching.
ny Private Leased Wire.
Salisbury. N. C-. Aug. 8 The R
county situation this morning is some
brighter. Salisbury Is under martial
rule and the streets adjacent to the
Jail are kept clear. Two gatllng guns
stand in the yard where the men
forced an entrance Monday night, nnd
two military companies, ordered here
nnd commanded by General Armstrong
of the First North Carolina regiment,
at the Instance of Governor Glenn, pa
trolled the yard all night, lyui there is
not the slightest evidence of further
trouble.
Three arrests were made last night,
following instructions to keep.the Jail
clear. Mayor Boyden ordered n man,
who said he did not care if It was caus
ing trouble, put In prison and later
a drunken bully was hauled out. after
threatening to kill anybody who at
tempted to arrest him when he vaulted
the fence.
'Mob Threatens Jailsr.
The cause of the military force of a
hundred men being sent here, was the
arrest of the leader of the mob, who Is
a former convict, a notorious retailer
and distiller. -He was recognized Mon-
day night by Solicitor Hammer, while
attempting to batter down the Jail door
and encouraging the mob to greater
violence, when it seemed that It would
dlsjierse. He Is known to have par
ticipated In the hanging of the men.
Rumors that a mob would rescue him
caused Judge Long to tnke all precau
tions, and further fear that processes
In the court would be Interrupted made
his determination to proceed all the
f reater. The mob has nn Idea that
aller Kriber shot Engineer .McLenon
and has sent out threats against him.
Court Convenss.
The court met at 10:40 o’clock this
morning. The first thing taken up was
the case of the lynchers who will now
be tried, while the Indicted defendants
who were not lynched were sent to
Charlotte, until the subsequent Rowan
term of court Is held the Inst of Aug
ust. The remaining three will then be
tried. The present Investigation of
lynchers will continue as long as ahy
evidence can bo found agnlnst those
who took part In the episode. The vic
tims of the mob were bntied at the
county home yesterday. The crowd
had mutilated the hands, ears and fin
gers until the bodies were a fearful
sight.
