He was killed in a pistol duel Saturday night with Ora Thomas, deputy sheriff, and enemy of Young. Young died from a bullet through the heart, although he Was wounded in the right breast These bullets it is said came from the two guns carried by Thomas. Thomas was killed in the exchange of shots as were also Ed Forbes gnd Homer Warner, com panions of Young. The shooting took place in front of the Canary Cigar Store, at Herrin. There are many versions of the af fair. Young’s friends claim that, he was shot from behind, while others say that it was a free for all battle. Young's body lying in the under taking establishment was wrapped in a purple robe, said to designate a "kleagle” of the Ku Klux Klan. Young is said to have been engaged in the writing of a history of his ac tivities. He had arranged to go to Miami, Fla., with his wife "who was blinded last June by assassin’s bul lets intended for Young. He suffered a broken leg* at that time.

He was the ter ror of draft evaders, and moonshiners. He passed through Asheboro .last September on his way from Atlanta to Washington and to Herrin. At that time he was still suffering from a broken leg sustained in the assault on his life in June oi» last year. As a result of his activities he gained fame as a fearless "man Idl er,*’ while his activities in law en forcement gained both support and condemnation. Several times his sen sational activities brought him into court on charges ranging from homi cide to assault, but Young with stood all, «f ... Several years ago he gained.a.dSde reputation in various parts of the country as a law enforcement agent, but his first act to startle the pub lic was his capture of the noted Crawleys, a gang of world war draft evaders for whom United States troopers and federal officers search ed for months in the mountains of northern Georgia, western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. Young attacked the draft evaders single handed, captured them all and brought them to Knoxville, Tenn. Later as an unrelenting foe of li quor, he won prominence and the soubriquet, nf “manldller” through his activities against moonshiners in the mountains of Georgia and Tennessee.

FARMER SCHOOL u BUILDING READY Expect to Begin Use of Building Monday—Short School History. (By Mrs. Frances P. Hubbard) It is expected that the new school building at Fanner will be ready for the school to move in on February 2nd. 1 It was expected that it would be ready for the opening of the spring term after the holidays, but weather conditions hindered the work from time to time, and, altho there has been no interruption to the work ex cept those the weather made unavoid able since it was begun on the 9th of July last year, it has been impossible to finish it earlier. The building is 158 feet long and 100 feet wide, and is built of brick with rough plastered walls above the wainscoting. The large auditorium is ih the center, and is lighted by win dows above th'e roof of the class room dows above the roof of the class rooms. The floor slopes toward the large stage which is in the south end. Besides the superintendent’s office, li brary and laboratory, there are eleven large class rooms, well lighted by large,' many-paned windows. Each class room is supplied with roomy closets for hats and cloaks, and plen ty of blackboard space. In the basement are two large toil ets, one of Which is furnished with a shower bath, a furnace room, space for fuel, the electric light plant, and the pressure tank supplying the build ing with water. A deep well fur nishes an abundance of pure water. The old building which stood on the site of the new, was burned February 15, 1928. It was a three-story frame house built thirty years before by private subscription. Many citizens gave as they were able to the cost of the house, but the four meri most in terested^ and who contributed most liberally were Calier Kearns, Gideon Macon, N. W. Newby, and* Dr. C. H. Lewis. All of these men are now dead except N. W. Newbyjf now of Mt. Gilead. This building was pri vately owned, tho the public school was taught in connection with the academic courts. A few years after the state high school was established in 1907 the building was taken over by the county, and the home of Mr. L. M- Kearns near by, was bought for a teacherage. The loss of this building was a heavy blow to the community and a g¥oWhngwserrtim^[t feffcWSr of consol idation led to an election on June 19th, 1923, voting for a bond issue of $29,000 for the erection of a new building. This was carried by a small majority, and the amount was later supplemented by the state, and the present building will cost approxi mately $40,000. J. R. Owen, of Greensboro, is the contractor. The schools included in the new i consolidated district are Salem, Un | ion, Fairmount, Mt. Lebanon, Locust Grove, Farmer, and the part of j Piedmont that lies in Randolph coun ty. Allred Since the burning of the old build ing the school has been housed in an old store building, and the dwelling formerly owned by Mrs. Rosa Kearns, with the farm life classes in the up per story of J. R. Hammond's store. Because of the deep mud the trucks bringing in the outlying schools have been unable to get in for the past two weeks, but a few days of sun shine and proper attention given to the roads will enable them to make the trips successfully. The present faculty is as follows: Principal, Mr. Fred A. Ficquett, with Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Lank as sistants in the high school grades; with Mrs. Ficquett, and Misses Lula Spencer, Mamie Lackey, Pearl Par sons, and Linnie Dorsett in the lower grades. Mr. R. F. Bracken is the farm life teacher. This department has been added this year, and this is the only school in the county having such a department. The largest and best equipped room-in the new building will be used by this department. The first class to receive diplomas from the school since it became a state high school was that of 1911. Mr. G. V/. Bradshaw was then the principal of the school.

Misses Margaret Lane, Ethaline Leonard, and Ruth Campbell, of N. C. College, spent the week-end with their parents. Rev. W. L. Scott preached morning and evening at the M. E. church Sun day.

The commissioners are trying to 1 improve the streets of our city be ! tween the rain storms. The recent successive rains showed us that w*i need more than ever before hard sur face streets. The town should be getting ready for permanent streets and the sooner the less money will be wasted. Look around and see how j many towns are building paved streets. The business houses of Ramseur have enjoyed a fair business since inventory though largely at a loss as is usual on clearance sales. The weather was as “rotten” as we have ever witnessed the first half of Jan uary. Commodity prices are being “blown up” on every line by sales men and to hear some of them talk you would think the world’s supply was getting low. Every seller seems to want to hoist his prices a little higher. It wont do, a reaction will come. Better keep them as low as can be done consistently. County Superintendent Bulla Four School House county Superintendent T.* Fletcher Bulla last week sold at auction school houses at Fair Grove, Red Cross, Bla lock, and Silver Hill. These school houses were sold <jn account of the consolidation of these districts with other schools, and they are now being, served by school trucks.
