A Mistrial and an Improperly Drawn
Jury Prevent a Trial -History
of the Case.
The now celebrated criminal action
against the Revolution cotton mills is
ts far from settlement as ever, due
principally to a slight error on the part
of ihe attornev who drew the bill of
indictment and a violation of Hie let-ter
of the law by the county commis-sioners
in drawing a jury list.
The case was called in the Superior
court last Wednesday morning, an em
I Dent array of counsel being present.
For the prosecution there wYre Solid
tor Brooks. Col. John A. Barringer acd
Johu N. Wilson, of this city, and Cle-ment
Manley, of Winston-Sulem. The
defense was represented by King &
Kimball, Bynum & ByDOin and ex-
Judge Adams, Of this city; James II
Pou, of Raleigh, and Frank I O-borne.
of Charlotte. Considerable time was
consumed in the Reliction of a jury
and it was not until the afternoon ses-sion
of court that the taking of evi-dence
was begun.
The first witness examined ou the
part of the state was J. L. Ludlow,
civil engineer to the state board of

names of all free-holders in the county
shall be placed in a box and a jury list
selected as the names are drawn out
indiscriminately. The commissioners
have been in the habit of placing the
names from each township in a sepa-rate
box and drawing an equal number
from each, thus getting jurors from all
sections of the county.
The case against the Revolution
mills has been on the docket since last
June, and even before that time the
matter was in litigation. Complaints
from the malaria infected district be-came
so Ir.qoent that the sanitary
board made an investigation and or-dered
the removal of the dam which
was believed to be responsible for the
unsanitarv condition of affairs. After
considerable delay suit was Instituted.
The case has attained much notoriety
and has stirred up some feelingon each
side. The cost also is a considerable
item. It is said that the case has al-ready
cost the county over $1,000, and
it is liable to go considerably beyond
that figure
It is hoped by some that an arrange-ment
can be made whereby the litiga-tion
can be stopped, thus saving time,
money and trouble. The attorneys
met after the mistrial had been ordered

valuable testimony. He told of having
visited the section believed to be re-sponsible
for the prevalence of malaria
and related conditions as he found
then.. He stated that every family in
which he practiced in that section had
been afflicted with chills and malaria. |
Several residents of the vicinity went ;
on the stand and related tbeir expert- J
ence. It was brought out that, prior
to the erection of the dam, in 1899, the
community was comparatively healthy,
and that since the dam was built there
had been a great deal of sickness in
almost every family.
The trial took a sensational turn Fri-day
morning, when the prosecution
asked permission of the court to amend
the bill of indictment by inserting the
words, ,-a corporation," after the name

No business concern in this vicinity
has met with a more gratifying growth
than the Pomona Terra Cotta Com-pany.
Thecfcipany was organized a
few years ago somewhat in the nature
of an experiment and to supply the
local demand. It was not long, how-ever,
until the promoters found that
they were at the head of a good thing.
Orders began to come in from a dis-tance
and the plant was operated to its
fullest capacity. A year or so ago the
business had grown to such an extent
that it was necessary to erect another
building. It was thought that this
would answer all purposes for some
time to come, but such was not the

Some of the leading colored people
of Greensboro have inaugurated a
movement looking to holding a fair
here next year. An organization has
been perfected by electing Dr. J. E.
Dellinger president and Prof. Charles
H. Moore secretary. A committee has
been appointed to confer with the Cen-tral
Carolina Fair Association with a
view to securing tbe use of the fair
grounds.
It is proposed to have the fair repre-sent
the material and Intellectual pro-gress
of the colored race iu the Pied-mont
section of North Carolina, and to
thi9 end efforts will be made to have
tbe leading colored men of this section
interest themselves in the enterprise.
A properly conducted fair would be of
great benefit to the colored people, and
the PATRIOT trusts that the promoters
will meet with success in their under-taking.
