fiian steamer, Hallfrim, due to load
a cargo of ceel for fliakuf. The
present shipment will be the first of
this eomtaodity to leave this port fo.
Germany.
For some time past local shipping
men have expressed it as their opir.-
ion that soooer or later, German ,
woukl be compelled to call on th
country for her coal, supply, ia whio.
case Hampton Roads would be the
logical point of export. The prox
imity of this port to the great cw.
lelds of Virginia, and the fact that
Germany particularly deaiies steal
coal, which Hampton Roads is in an
especially good position to furnis
were all pointed to as the argument,
for establishing the trade out of thi.
city.

by Hilton Scares', a seventeen vear oiu

with Mr. and Mrs. Purceii about sev

Mrs. Punell's husband was spend

ana young Seares taking airaUsp
of Mr. PurceU's absence decided to
rob the in the Purcell home.
Entering the ruum, he demanded ot
Air*. I"urcell to open the safe and up
on her refusal the boy *hot her mill,
a revolver. The first bullet enterec
her right arm, penetrating into hei
breast. Two other bullets entered the
soman's back just left of the spine.
About tlie first of December, \\e>

Rockingham county was asked to take
the Searse boy in charge. Mr. Pur
cell asked Suponnaeadoat Allan to
allow him to take charge af the bay.
-J tar IT seemed to be delighted with
his new home and soon gained the
full cuufidence of the Purceh family
lie knew that Mr. Purcell kept DM.
ey in the safe at home and the temp

to resist.
Seeing Mrs. Purcell seriously
wouied, the boy droftfted the revolver,
mounted one of Mr. Pureed* horses

road, an hour after the .-hooting oc
curred, the horse was found waaoei

Searching parties were formed and

efforts so far to capture the boy have
been futile. _

HEADQUARTERS OF GIGANTIC
GANG OF COCNTEBFEITERS
LOCATED IN NEW YORK
NEW YORK, Har. A —According tc
newspaper reports guwamer.t agents j
ate on the trail of an International j
gang of counterfeiters who have been j
operating on the mask gigaimc scale
ever attempted.
It is est.mated that they have dump
ed between a million aad ten million
!ollars in spurious money into the
trading marts of a score of nations.
Joseph A. Pal ma, chief of the special
secret service squad, which for eight
I months tracked the counterfeiters, an
j nounead on Februaiy 22 that 15 per
i so.is had U-en arrested in Kngland,
I ranee, Egypt, Cuba. Australia ami
Bahamas, as a result of information
furnished by the American secret ser
vice. la all 600 to *0 persons con- I
nected with the ring"are under arrest.
Their head|uarteis are sakl to be in
the Italian district of Kew York city.
The counterfeiters with but few ex-- ;
cepuons are of Italhm auil southern
I European origin.
On February 20 three men were
raptured by government agents, said
to be leaders. Capture of the.~e three
men resulted in the dtcover) of print
ing presses which thft agents say have
turned out hundreds of thousands of
United States two dollar, five dollar,
ten dollar an dtweaty dollar bilis, and
ream* of internal revenue stamps and
certificates, postage stamps, water
marked prohibition papers, whiskey
an* 1 fhrnpngrvr bottle labels, and
Iwgus drag and liquor permits.
It appears that these international
counterfeiters have been cooperating
with the rum raaabrs whose boats
have been anchored just outskle the
three mile limit on oar Atlantic coast
to the extent that they have been
liberal patrons of these runt pirates.
It was also revealed that the counter
feiters purchased large quantities of
habit forming dniap» Both the drugs
and liquors have beea resold by the
counterfeiters ami their agents. The
■iquor was relabeled with thtf counter
feit labels. The counterfeiters paid
the ru in runners u-ually in counter
feit money.

At the home of Mrs. Lee Brewer
on Friday Inst, the regular monthly
meeting of the Philatheas was 'held.

created a spirit of renewed enthusi
asm.
The principal topic discussed and
decided on, was, that in a cour.-e of
a few days, there would be given for
the chihlren of the town, a skating
contest, the date and place to be an
nounced later.
Just before adjourning, a delicious
ice eourie was serve, l by the hostess.
The Baptist Philatheas are doing
splendid work, not for the Baptists
alone, but for any just cause that may
need their aid. Wa extend a cordial
lav itatioa to all who may I* interested
ia this great work, to join our class.
Carrie IMle White.
Reporter.
Not much farm work has beea ac
complished during the past month,
due to unfavorable weather. The roads
have been ia bad condition much of
ahe time, except in the saad areas.
The general farm outlook, and partic
alarly the optimism is much better
than a year ago, however, there are
many areas which are still in bad
shape from many standpoints. Idle
land will probably increase in the most
henrily weevil infested counties of
this Mate, as has been trae of state*
south of us, with increasing damages
from thia caam.

ST PASS ON
>N LIQUOR MEASURE
the law under which thoy were in
dicted was repealed by the new meas
ure, and the provisions of the present
measure were not operative until the
•lay of ratification.
Solicitor W. F. Evans yesterday
( stated that he will proceed with his
| docket, including many liquor cases
leaving it to the supreme court to
■ pass upon the validity of the indict
' ments and trials. Only one case, ac
cording to the solicitor, would seem
to be involved in the suestion as to
the right of personal possession of
i whiskey. That is the remaining case
against Kufe Davis, whose appeal is
j pending in the supreme court from
a verdict of guilty and a sentence
• for selling whiskey.
Solicitor Kvans takes the position
. that the of whiskey heretofore
, illegal, is still illegal under the new
law ami that indictments under the
! previous statutes are valid under the
new law.
Only on the question of personal
possession, he thinks, is there doubt
about the affect of the new enact
t meat and he believes that the intent
| of the general assembly to make the
, possession of any quantity of whis
'' key whatsoever prima facie evidence
I' of purpose of sale will be recognized
in the interpretation of the new sta
tute.

AMERICAN LEGION COMMAND
ER APPOINTS COMMITTEE ON
COMPLAINT OF STUDENT
RALEIGH, Mar. 7.—Openly charg
nig discrimination on the part of of
ficials in the Veterans' bureau at
a student in
the regional rehabilitation school at
Waynesville for veterans of the World
war with arrested cases of tubercu
losis, demanded an investigation by
the Noith Carolina American Legion
of the conditions at Waynesville—and
*ot it.
Mr. Lee, who is commander of the
American Legion post at the Waynes
ville school, presented his facts to
a meeting of post officers of the Am
erican Legion, from this and sur
rounding congressional district* yes
terday afternoon in the city court
rooin here. The meeting wastpresided
over by James A. Lockhart of Char
lotte, state commander of the Ameri
can Legion.
Declaring that he was spokesman
for 350 the students at the Waynes
ville school Mack Lee, commander of
that po.-t of the American Legion, and
a student in the poultry department
of the school, j)resented hia charges
in such a forceful, drastic and con
vincing manner that there was not
a voice raised against the accuracy of
his report. He claimed specifically
that the Waynesville school was be
ing discriminated-against by officials
of the Veterans' bureau at Washing
ton, D. C., in favor of the similar
school at Chillicoth, Ohio, and that
politics was responsible for the dis
crimination.
Not one disabled veteran had bean
rehabilitated from the Waynesville
