C, FEB. g, 1912 No.t TIE Gil REFUSED TO GO AND WAS CARRIED Ewt Hathcock Shot, ri qaly Wounded by V -ge Cox at the Home of $r Tuesday Night ; Being told by George Cox toV bis premises Tuesday nig ht at tft o'clock, E wart . Hathcock at that ha wonM go when he got ready a few minutes later a bystander oar konse Oox had shot him through " the head with a 32-caliber pistol the ball entering the cheek iust above the root or toe montn una continuing its war to the back of his neck where it lodged. Dr. H. B. Hiatt waa hurriedly smmmoncd and stopped the flow ol blood, located the bullet, but feared to remove it because of the weakened condition of the patient, who had already bled profusely. When visited yesterday morning, Hathcock seemed some better and it is thought that he will recover. A more narrow escape, however, can hardly be imagined, for if the bullet Mad been the least bit higher in en teriog or been dt fleeted up instead f down, the brain would have been penetrated and death would have probably been instantaneous. Cex. it is stated, professed a readi mess to give himself up and stand trial; but search of him has so far failed. The trouble, as stated, occurred jast outside the house of Oox, wbo 1 kvea close the railroad . Scath Asheboro, just back of Mr. Joha T Brittain's. Three women of aues tionable morals ai d unquestionable imprudence were in the house at th time, having arrived in Asheboro the day before from down the A. 4 A. and are said to be Sadie Md Nannie Gillie, of Norman, and JNU Green, of Biscoe. They, together with Oox and some . tbers, had started for some plaoe on tie west of town earlier in the night. is is said, ana bad tamed baok be. ansa of the cold and gone to Oox's heuss. Before this, it is illeged, were bad been seme words passed Between Uathoock aad Oox. for it - seems that both had bee in the tympany of the women. After the return to the house, ao cerding to the story accredited to we young man who carried tlath- 'aetk off after the shootiar, Hath. oeck was heard outside the hease aid Oox went outside and ordered him off. Hathcock is said to have told Oox that he would leave when ready. Cox, it ia alleged, then fired aid down' d Hathcock. According ta a story told by Oox just after the snooting, Hathcock was attaokmg aim when sbot. What followed thereafter ia rather hsaily accounted for. The dootor attended to Hathcock. Cox ia re ported to stated that he would be here when needed, the women were stopped from goi i g a Way on the 4 e'olock tram tor riign foiur, bui were allowed to return down the A. & A. where, it ia sud, they may be ob aiued when reoetsurj.

The day was cold tad he had quite an audience around the pen grate at the Ashlyn. He talked of spoits and he put them over with dazzling rapidity. Man after man retired and others cama forward with a grim determin ation to sit the conversation out, but all of them struck out and discocso lately wended their way to the cold outside, leaving the Collar man still in the box and still a-talking. The last man np was the owner and sole proprietor of the Bureau of Information recently established in the city. He, being of an open-work mind and a warm desire for knowl edge, stock grimly to the post of danger. He was assailed with the details of the collar man's owner ship of the Buffalo fraLchise of the International League, with the most startling revelations of the way the big Noo Yark papers made money out of their blackmail list, of the lack of enterprise of the local mer ohants who foolishly sell goods at a fair profit, of the numerous benefits to be derived frim dealing with his collar company, the inner workings of up-country politics, the coaing of Teddy and the passing of Bryan, et cetery, ad infinitum. All of this, the seeuer and dis penser of thought waves withstood, kniiting his brows and glumly fol lowing the laybiinth of discourse, punctuated only by occasional trickles-of tobacco juice into the equally receptive cuspidor. At last, however just had to be however because the outcome was the result of logic, net the talk came over to tariff and the high price of white beans. No longer did the bureauorat fol low tLe low of converse, for now there was something on hand that he knew he could dispense informa tion concerning. He almost rose in his eagerness to speak, but unheed ing the lapse of attention on the part of his audience, the collar man said that the tariff had nothing to do with the amount of white beans that he the bureuacrat had to eat.- And the bureaucrat beard, hesi tated as if struggling far words. But he did not struggle long the swinging door swung slowly out. ward, Asheboro a informative pioneer sadly wound his way out into the po lar regions of Depot street and the collar man was left in sole posses, sion of the linguistio Meld of battle. Mil'x and Honey Failed to Flow. Mr. M. L. Harris, formerly of this county, later of Davidson, al ways well known and well liked in this section, is back from Kansas.
