Leonard Commits Suicide At Rocky Mount—Mrs. Leonard May Die. Edward Durham, colored, aged 25, was shot to death at his home here early Sunday morning by John Lane, also colored. From the best infor mation obtainable it seems that a card party was in progress at the Durham home when a dispute arose between Lane and Durham which re sulted in the killing of Durham. It seems that there was evidence of drinking at this' party and this, no doubt was largely responsible for the shooting. Fannie Parker, Maggie Parker, Nathan Blake, Ernest Johnson and John Green, colored, stole a turkey from S. R. Lee, of Micro, R. F. D., at 6 o’clock yesterday morning, arrested at 7 o’clock triel before Justice Jno. T. Hughes at 9 o’clock, who sent him to Record er’s Court in Smithfield, where he was tried at 11 o’clock before Judge Aycock, who sentenced him to the roads. The negro was taken to the roads at 1 o’clock to begin his sentence. All tills happened in less than one day. The negro brought the turkey to the Farmer’s Exchange in Selma early yesterday morning and sold it to Talmage Corbett. Mr. Corbett had been notified to be on the look out for the thief. He gave the negro a due bill and told him to come back later. In the meantime he notified Chief E. R. Hales and he was promptly arrested when he came back for his money. (By H. H. LOWRY) The first contingent of forest workers from Johnston county was selected Wednesday by Mrs. D. J.

The workers from Johnston county will in all probabili ty be placed in one of the eight camps proposed for the Pisgah Forest, a part of which covers a section of the western part of North Carolina. According to Mrs. Thurston the econd group will be selected the latter part of thi.s week, and a third selection will be made later than this. ‘ * . These boys are chosen from the boys of the needy families and ate of the highest type of boys, regard less of class. Each boy must be single and between the ages of 18 and 25 inclusive. And only on whom their families are dependent will be chosen, according to Mrs. Thurston. After the men enter the camps they will be paid thirty dollars per month and will be required to send a minimum of $26 of this pay hack to their dependent families. In many instances the men will be encourag ed to send as much of $27 to their families. The men will have no cur rent expense except tobacco and such things as tooth paste. Their clothes and food will be furnished free by the United States govern ment. When registering each man is a.sked to list training in any field in order that special camp duties may be given to those best quali fied, and .simplify the matter of organization after reaching camp.
