Charlotte, June 22.—For his
refusal to pivuige the names of
the person or persons from which
he has purchased liquor iUegally
in Chariotle, William Owens, for
merly a member of the fire de
partment of Charlotte, was sen
tenced by Desk Sergeant J. M.
SculHon, yesterday afternoon 1»
serve a sentence of ten days in
jail. Owens was summoned to
testify under the capias ad testi
ficandum proceedings. He was
given two opportunities to an-
jswer Sergeant Scullion's ques-
I tions, but stoutly refused to
‘peach’' on his friends. He is
\v inston-Salem, ^une^. j now in jail and as the sentence
-me paramount iX)piCjri Wmsto jcontempt of court there i6
::jalem is the order oi the | ^ obtain his l elease ex-
Departmen ^ closing the through the means of a par-
postoffice from midnight Satur
day until midnight Sunday, the
same being in response to a peti
tion gotton up by the ministerial
anion, but which is not what they
had expected, apparently, for the
president and secretary of the
ministers’ union has issued a
card, saying that the rosponsi-
uility for the rigid general order
i’ests with the local postoflice au-
ihorities, since the most that the
union had contemplated was the
Closing of the general delivery
window.
Postmaster Reynolds has issu
ed a long document in reply, in
which he calls the card of the
-Tiinisterial union as stated a
' cowardly attempt to shift the
burden of responsibility from
their shoulders to mine, and they
"■.ave stooped to misrepresenta
tion in this eifort.”
Many citizens, %vho are known
as among the staunchest church
men in the community and
signed the petition, are saying
openly that the order was a sur
prise to them, that they did not
believe that the petition was in
tended to effect such a drastic
imposition upon business, for the
postmaster says it will be^ im
possible to handle the mail on
schedule time Monday; with the
heavy accumulation of the twen
ty four hours preceding.
It is not believed that the or
der will be effective very long,
for itis the general opinion, ap
parently, that with the light of
understanding upon the matter,
the great majority of people will
petition for a rescinding of the
order-
don.
The examination of Owens was
part of a general campaign be
ing waged by the police depart
ment, led by City Solicitor John
A. Parker, against violators of
the prohibition law. Three oth
er witnesses were examined and
all gave testimony which will
lead to the issuance of warrants.
One of the witnesses, however,
hesitated until stared in the face
by a jail sentence and he then
reluctantly gave in.

Miss Robertson was a fine

v/eeks ago is said to have caused
the young woman to grieve her

Durham, June 23,—City Editor
Rufus Isenhour, formerly of the
Charlotte News and the Salisbury
Post, now of the Durham Sun,
won fame here today by being
assaulted with a. cane in the
hands of R. H. Wright, the weal
thy traction company president
and large capitalist. The blow
did no dariiage.
Mr, Wright's anger was arous
ed by a recent article in the Dur
ham Saa-n whioh Editor Isenhour
wrote, making mention of Mr.
Wrist's decision to live in Dur
ham and extending to him the
glad.haod of fellowship. The ar
ticle grew out of a story that Mr.
Wright had listed $70,0^ per
sonal property in Durham ^ ‘under
the gentte persuasion of a county
road sentence held over him by
the county commissioners,'' The
ariicle telling of his listing his
ta?tes declared that in New York
Mr. Wright made affidavit that
he lived in Durham and was not
liable for claims there, and that
in Durham the rich man claimed
New York as his home and evad
ed taxes here. It was caustic and
direct in its charges. The Sun
declared that he listed twice here,
first several weeks ago and last
within a few houra of the closing
of the books.
When Mr. Wright saw the re
porter today he is said to have
asked: “Axe you the damned
scoundrel who wrote that artic
le?" and admission caused him to
strike.
It Was the cause of a good deal
Orphans at Baptist Chwrch.
Mr, Jno.'D, Berry, Manager,
of the Odd Fellows Orphanage
at Goldsboro, v/ith Miss Lillian
McDonnell, music teacher and
twelve of the orphans were pre
sent at the Baptist church Thurs
day night and gave an exercise
by the children which was highly
commented, by the large audi
ence present. A small admission
fee was charged and the sum of
^0.30 realized- From here they
went to Gibson villeand Proximity
They will spend several days
next week in the western part of
the state. The Orphanage which
is under the care of the'Odd
Fellows is caring for 160 children
the maintainance of which cost
more than $13,000 during the
past year.
The proceeds which are receiv
ed on their trip will be spent for
the purchase of more farming
land.
Until four years ago Miss Mc
Donnell the music teacher was
an orphan in the home, and after
completing her course decided to
return to the home.
The Children were carried out
automobile riding in the after
noon wh’eh they enjoyed very
much.
