John Swaim, of Pleasant Garden
who was waylaid on the Alamanci
road several miles southeast oi
Greensboro last Wednesday night
died Saturday night in St. Leo's Hos
pital, Greensboro, wliorc he was tar
ried after the attack. Pneumonia set
in soon after his arrival at the hospital
and death was expected lor several
davs before it came.
Two negroes, Ed Walker and Jess
Dorsett, now under arrest are supp

act was one of the boldest eve.

The assault happened where there was
a long stretch or woons oesiue ui
A. L. Plunket, wno nan paaaeu r.
Swaiss just as the negroes walkeci
upon the road from the woods, was at
the most not over twenty feet away
when the shot was fired. In fact Mr.
Plunket said something about the con
dition of the roads to the negroes,
who made a mumbled reply, their ac
tion causing him to have suspicions.
At this tme the horse a;:d buggy of
Mr. Plunket passed and they exchang
ed greetings.
The two negroes had evidently laid
plans for thev rushed past the wagon
driven by Mr. Plunket and one gra -bed
the reins of the horse driven b
Mr. Swaim and the other grabbed the
man himself. As soon as the negro
grabbed the man, the shot was hearo.
and Swaim cried out that he had beqn
6ot. The scuffle between the white
mas and the negro that fired the shot
then occurred, Mr. Swaim leaping
freat the buggy to the ground. The ne
gro that had seized the horse then ran
to assist the other, who had his pistol
in his hand. The two negroes shoved

Mr. Plunket continued to drive oil
for a short distance and the wounded
man eot bni'K into his nuggy
drove on until three young men wort-
met Then seeing that ne coum noi

on home.
The approaching party was compos
ed of three voung men from Greens
boro who had spent the day at Pleas
ant Garden hunting. The man was as
sisted to a nearby home from when
aid was sunioned and the officials no
tified. While waiting for a physiean
he told in substance the same story as
above. Nothing was taken from the
wounded man, so far as could he dis
covered. While waiting for a physi
cian he stated that he had three or
four dollars in his pocket and that
amount, together wth a check for M!'
was found. ,
Wednesday night and Thursday
officers from Greensboro and a deputy
from Pleasant Garden made a thor
ough search for the two negroes, de
scribed as being of medium build. The
nesroes were arrested Thursday after
noon and carried to Greensboro.

he intimated that he thought he was
not, and he friled absolutely to .-.t-tach
guilt to Walker by any special
evidence. His previous f-eneral de
scription of the man who held the gun
on him and did the shooting fitted
Walker aptly, however, and the police
will hold the negro.
There is a peculiar chain of evi
dence which makes the oilieers think
that Walker is one of the men wanted.
They are now almost convinced that
Jess Dorsett, the other suspect under
arrest, knew nothing of the murderous
assault, and while he is held in con
nection with the crime, on a vagrancy
warrant, his known intimacy. With
Walker is nossibly the strongest rea
son for belief in his participation
in the shooting. A notebook of Wal
ker's and a ticket for health insurance
made out in his name found near the
scene of the crime, provides the basis
of suspicion of Walker, and it was
upon the strength of this evidence
that he was arrested.
Officers found tracks of two men

Then thev came unon the notebook, at

tracks and their formation indicated
that the makers had stopped there in
a fast walk for a conference or for
some other purpose. With this bit of
evidence, the officers proceeded to ar
rest Walker and later they captured
Dorsett on the strength of hi3 friend-
shin with Walker.
Doth negroes denied any knowledge
of the crime, and the officers are in
dined to credit the statement of Dor

"ADVANTAGE OF READING"
(By H. C. Parks.)
We are living in a strenuous age.
We are getting too busy to read as
much as we should. The advantages
to us, derived from reading good lit
erature are numerous, ami inestima
ble. You w ill notice that I said "good
literature," in this day of rapid mul
tiplicity of books and papers and other
uling matter, one of the hardest
things for us to determine, is, what
to read. It was not so in the days
of our forefathers. They counted
themselves lucky if they would get
hold of u single copy of some book,
and having obtained it, they greedi
ly devoured every page. They get
ting one advantage from it, that we
usually fail to obtain today, for the
people of today merely skin over the
pages of the books they read, and
therefore, retain only a little of what ,
they read.
It is not the number of books we
read, but the good thoughts and in
fluence we derive from them, that
really benfit us.? Some one has said
"no book has ever been written in
which there was not a single thought
worth our while to read it for,'" but
notwithstanding their assertion, which
I seriously doubt, it is necessary for
us to take great pains in selecting
what we are to read.
We should be sympathetic in our
reading, and not aione nave system,
a UUI UIBC. r mn nav niav
reading habit is a good one, full ,
of incalculable advantages. We said I
alone that we must read with purpose
n v ew. and m eed t would hardy
he possible to read without a purpose,
tor when we read, we either read to
pass away the time and this is better
than not reading at all, nr we read
for pleasure, which is indeed a great
pleasure.
W should read more than we cio.
The advantages are numerous. It
makes a full man, full intellectually,
full spiritually.
PROMPT ACTION WILL STOP
YOUR COUGH
When you first catch a Cold (often
indicated by a sneeze or cough) break
it up at once. The idea that "It does
not matter" often leads to serious
complications. The remedy which
immediately f.Tid easily penetrates the
lining of the throat is the kind de

phlegm. You feel better at once.

WHAT WOULD YOU DOT
There are many times when one nan
questions another's actions and mot
ives. Men act differently under differ

what would you do right now if you
had a. severe cold ? Could you do bet
ter than to take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy? It is highly recommended
by people who have used it for years
and know its value. Mrs. O. E. Sar

For mixing with paint Unseed oil

THE OLD NORTH STATE
. (By Wm. Gaston.)
Carilina! Carolina! Heaven's blessings
attend her!
While we live we will cherish, protect
and defend her.
Though the scorner may sneer at and
witlings defame her,
Yet our hearts swell with gladness
whenever we name her.
Chorus:
Hurrah! Hurrah! The Old Nortn
State forever!
Hurrah! Hurrah! The good Old North
State. .
Though she envies not others their
merited glory,
Say, whose name stards the foremost
in Liberty's stcry?
Though too true to herself e'er to
crouch to oppression,
Who can yield to just rule a more
loyal submission?
Chorus: Hurrah; etc.
Plain and artless her sons, but whose
doors open faster
To the knock of the stranger or the
tale of disaster?
How like the rudeness of their dear
native mountains,
With rich ore in th?ir bosoms and
with life in their fountains.
Chorus: Hurrah; etc.
And hor daughters the queen of the
torest resembliner.
So graceful, so constant to gentlest
breath trembling,
And true light-wocd at heart, let the
match be applied them.
How they kindle and flame, oh! none
know but who ve tried them.
Chorus: Hurrah; etc.
Then let all who love us love the land
that we live in
As happy a region as on this side of
heaven.
Where plenty and freedom, love and
peace smile before us
Raise aloud, raise together the heart
thrilling chorus.
Chorus: Hurrah; etc.
PROFANE LANGUAGE
Among people who really think.
profanity has joined the silent ma
lty and is resting in the tomb with
all the other dead languages.
Not so long ago many men, good
men, decent men thousrht nothinc of
hearing a few cuss words now and
then. That is, if they thought much
of the incident they said nothing.
But in the last few years men, es
pecially business men, have come to
the realization that swearing is de
cidedly out of place at any place.
No one likes to hear anyone use
profanity. It goes against the grain
of most men and women shrink from
it as they would from a snake or some
other vile creature.
Not so long ago an employe of a
big Chicago concern was heard swear
ing by the President of the firm.
There were i:o women within hearing
but made no difference to the "big
boss." The clerk was discharged.
Many men think they cculd r.ot get
along without the use cf profane lan
guage. They could. Profanity is
merely a useless waste of words. Cut
out the waste, you men .who Ev.car!
