Ea'rly in the morning of Thursday J Charles Morgan saw a negro coming up the highway, an unusual thing I or our section we being near Duck town, and as soon as he had passed t-urve just beyond his home he- de cided to follow on after him. as he had reasons for believing that he was the escaped negro. The negro had gone up to where he could look over Into th Diijektowrt b&in and was beating a retreat when Charles met him. Charles said that he forced a smile but the negro was fingering his pistol, the one he had taken from the guard. Charles was unarmed and besides) | wouldn't have had any inclination to have shot the negro even if he had a gun, but nevertheless he engaged | the negro in conversation and offered every suggestion that his mind would suggest under the circumstances to hold the negro till an officer or some one would come to his relief. He of fered hjm food, to hide him till things quieted down, to trade him out of his gun and when he started to the1 mountains told him the officers were looking for him ba^k in the woods and so delayed his going till deputy sheriff, A. L. Cole, with a posse, came along .and 'then Charles pot nervous, as he tried to stop the car and was pointing out the negro on the bank of the road, but to all ap pearances he thought they were go ing to pass him up and he knew that it would be the last of him as the r.egVo wou:d recognize that he had betrayed him, but the car came to a stop and the negro was soon under arrest and headed toward Murphy.

"harilies, which have been doing a right good work in caring for the needy in the commu nity this pa-', winter, i-1 facing the necc-sity of raising move funds for use the next month or ?ix weeks. While less fil l will have to be pro vided, the (fact is recognized that many of the people who have no means of support will continue to he in that position for awhile, and will ha\ no methods of securing food until their gardens, which all have h en urged to make, begin to t ome in. 1 hi idea was brought to the at tention of a gathering of interested men t hi- week and plans were dis i-uv ed to st- cure enough additional funds to carry over the coming pe riod of ntt".l. It. was decided to try to have a tag day. or days, during which different young lady workers wediate need. Later a canvass is to be made o: the entire population of the com munity and each salaried man or woman asked to give one dollar. This canvass will be made in the next week or two. and it is hoped that pi ??;?!-? ??f the community will be con -i.ieri:ig the gift, and will be ready when the committee calls. The response of the members of the Associated Charities has been all that, could be hoped during the win ter months, but very few of thos ? donations of twenty-five cents a month are made in cas'.i. Mostly clothes, and some food stuffs. The food-stu ?f? will still be welcome, but clothes and shoV, as is the case with fuel, will bo needed less and les>. There are many children ? nd some adults in the community that have no possible means of getting food ex cept through this agency, and they must be looked after until gardens come in. We have done well toward them, but we must carry on. They must eat even in warm weather. Signed : KDW. E. DAiMwS. Secretary-T reasuVer.
