leave the state In order to live with
the white woman whom "he married
in Atlanta, Ga.
Locklead was indicted by Solicitor

Locklear and his wife are to return
to the state in which they were mar
ried. . ' -
The father of Locklear's wife, who
it is said isa prominent attorney of
Atlanta, attended the trial and lent
1his efforts in the doctor's behalf.
Locklear married another white wo-
- man in another state several years
ago and was later divorced upon the
' ground of illegal marriage, it is- said.
This is the first case of its. kind to
come up in Robeson.
Thi3 was the first case disposed of
at the week's term of criminal court,
which convened Monday morning
with Judge Oliver S, Allen of Kins-
. ton presiding. ' '
. It was decided to increase the capi-
: tal stock of the Robeson Fair associa
tion from $3,000. to $10,000 at a re
cent meeting of the stockholders and
directors. It was also decided to al
. low the colored people of the county
to "put on" a fair the week following
the one put on by the white people
'.next falL A building committee was
appointed to prepare plans for the
. erection of an exhibition buildiig on
the ten-acre lot recently purchased
just north of Lumberton by . the fair
association. It .s planned to. offer
' more than $1,000 in cash prizes at
-the fair this year.
ThefLumberton graded schools have
been closed on account of tne appear
- ance of two cases of spinal menin
gitis among pupils of the second
grade. The school will be closed for
at least a week. No new cases of the
dread disease have been reported
since Thursday of last week and the
health authorities are trying to pre
vent the spread. The two children
that have the disease both live near
together and are about eight years
old.
Gatewood Small, who lives near
Lumberton, spent several months in
the army and returned home to be
shot by his brother. The shooting
was accidental and did not prove seri
ous. The gun was accidentally fired
while the Small brothers .were bird
hunting and the load struck Mr.
Small in the legs, more than thirty
shots taking effect. "
The Rbeson County garble &
Granite Works is a feew "btisIneSs'eii
terprise for Lumberton. . L. C. Hall
and C. R. Rutlege are the promoters
and they expect to open their place

to get crops to market "without too
much lost motion." He is expected
in Washington within a few days to
take up hU duties.

Mr. Glass, who will take his seat in
the senate to fill the unexpired term
