MARKLEY'S DEAL. BuysWilliams Property and Witt Make Improvements. Nothing has occurred in High Point in ten years that means more for the city than the purchase of the Williams property last week by Mr. C. Markley. This tract of land lies inside the city limits, west, a most beautiful location for residence lots and in a section of the city well adapted in every way for this purpose. There are 32 acres in the plot, .for which Mr. Markley paid $17,000. But the value of the land does not rest at the purchase price be cause Mr. Markley will improve it and beautify it beyond the most sanguine hopes which have hither to obtained. Nice wide streets will be laid out and each street will be macademized. The side walks through the entire property will be laid with granulithic walks. In laying off the lots Mr. Markley will reserve small parks which will be beautified, just as they are in larger cities. He intends to make it oneof the mostbeautiful places to be found in any of the Southern cities and therefore the most desirable. Mr. Markley can well afford to do this. He has all of his machinery and force here with which to do he work, which would cost any one else thousands of dollars to do. It is probable that Mr- Markley will erect a handsome home on one of the lots, for himself. This is additional good news because Mr. Marklej is a man of considerable means and oqe of the best business men in the South. The Enterprise has talked with a large number of the business men this. morning and all are high ly pleased that Mr. Markley decid ed to buy this property and improve it. He will make wholesale im provements at once, involving an expense of thousands of dollars, that it would take us ten years to accomplish. In other words he will build aud beautify one-thid ofa beautiful town before be asks any one to build. FRAUD IN ARMY CONTRACT Washington, June 23.

The last meeting for the season of the Music Lovers' Club was held at the home of the president, Mrs. E. L. Siler.'last night. There were twenty members present and five visitors. After the usual bus-' iness, at which the club decided to disband through the months of July and August, a delightful pro gram was rendered consisting of the following numbers: 1 Solo Mrs. Jos. D. Smith Ava Maria, Cavalleria Rusticana. 2 Waltz Orchestra "Beauties Charms." 3 Solo Miss Nan Heitman "When We Were Two Little Boys". 4 Piano solo Miss Minnie Pickett 'Awakening of the Lion." 5 Duet Mrs. Siler and Miss. Pickett "Our Boys March." 6 Two-step . Orchestra "John Harvard." The club then spent an hour or more in social amusement, when the president served delicious ice cream. A unanimous vote of thanks was tendered both the president and secretary, Mrs. L- M. Doda inead for hospitality and kindness extended by them toward the Music Lovers' Club since its organ ization. This club has been the source of much pleasure to those of its mem bers who are true lovers of music, and in disbanding through the summer months it is to be hoped that each member will look for ward with renewed interest for the meetings to be resumed in the fall. A Member. POINTED PARAGRAPHS Dance music is the sole-stirring kind. Truth and a woman's age are not on speaking terms. Now the festive mosquito is pre paring for strenuous season. Money is naturally tight with the man who is shy of loose change. If you would convince others that you are a fool boast of your wisdom. A pessimist thinks it's an ill wind that blows any body good but himself. Some men claim to practice what tbey preach merely as an excuse for preaching. If you can't do anything else you can at least keep out of the other fellow's way. Why is it that one never sees the portrait of an angel in trousers or of the devil in petticoats? One little flower to a living man is worth more than a wagonload of of floral emblems to a dead one. After making a strenuous effort to marry the- man of her choice a woman is apt to be badly disap pointed if she succeeds. It sometimes happens that when a man comes home about 2 a. m. and finds his wife waiting for him at the head of the stairs he imag ines he's a bigamist. FATHER AND DAUGHTER SLAIN Miami, Fla.. June 26. Charles E. Davis and his daughter, Elsie, were found this morning, dead, in their home. They had been mur dered, probably Saturday night. Both had been shot. One shot killed Mr. Davis, while his daugh ter was shot twice. It was rum ored that an assault had been com mitted on Miss Davis, but the ru mor was untrue. The fact of the mnrder was dis covered by a Mr. Furbank, who went to see Mr. Davis on business Sunday morning. He found the lower part of the house open, but could find no one at home. Again Sunday afternoon and . Monday morning he went with the same result. On the last visit suspicions were aroused and he went to the home of one of the sons of Mr. Davis. The two, returning to the Davis house, entered it, and going upstairs, found the two bodies. No clue has been found to point to anyone as the perpetrator 6f the deed. The community is intense ly excited and a lynching' will be probable to follow an arrest.- Miss Davis was one of the most loved young women in the- community and Mr. Davis was a popular and prominent business man. , . The citizens of Miami have of fered a reward of $750, the Mer chants' Association $250 and the Elks $200 for the the apprehenion of the murderer of Mr. and Miss Davis. v ' MR. SPENCER'S SUCCESSOR In all probability Mr. Schaub Cashier at the depot, will succeed Mr. Spencer as railroad agent here Mr. Schaub is a very efficient off! cer of the road. 0. C. Hook, cf Charlotte, is in the city. Mrs. D. S. Leak, who has been quite sick for several days, is im proving slowly. Prof. W. McCanlees, of Trinity, is here i the interest of Kuhlman & Co., of Chicago. PLEASANT ENTERTAINMENT Miss Pattie Newlin entertained the members of her Sunday school class at her home on South Main street last night, from 8:30 to 11 o'clock. There were a large num ber of guests present and the even ing passed off very pleasantly in deed. There was good music, both vocal and instrumental, and at a a seasnable hour delightful refresh ments were served . MR. CLARK RETURNS Mr. D, L- Clark, who has been on an extended tour north, visit ing the family of his nephew, Mr. R. C. Maxwell, has returned home much benefited by the trip. Mr. Clark looks ten years younger all due to the fact that he brings back with him the prize for the largest catch of fish of a party that took a special outing. Mr. Clark was ac companied by Master Alston Clark. . Mrs. J. O. Wood died at her home on Mangum avenue this morning after a lingering illness. She was a member of the Funeral Bendfit Association. -:V ; Little Misses Irene and Eula Sapp, of Greensboro, and Miss Carmen Grimes, of Liberty, are visiting Miss Lil Myers, on Rankin Stl'fit. Mrs. A. F. Jones is very sick on Mangum avenue this week. Will Ridge has a very sick child, Mr. W. C. Denny was on his way to Greensboro today; while waiting at the depot Mr. Denny related several incidents in regard to High Point's growth. He said that he planted the trees in front of the Bellevue hotel. G. F. Newman, of Greensboro.is here today. J. Lewis Woodson, of Lexing ton, is at the Elwood. Jos. Ross, of Philadelphia, is here teday. We all know which way the town is going now. If we don't Mr. Markley can tell us. We say it openly that the pur chase of the Williams property by Mr. Markley will be worth half million dollars to the town. Dr. Stanton, assisted by Drs. Reitzel, McAnally and Burrus.did the first operation at the Jr. Order Hospital yesterday. The success of this much needed institution appears to be assured. DISTURBANCE It is reported that there was a disturbance at the'-' Burning Bush" meeting yesterday. A man had a live snake under the tent which caused a great flurry. The man and the preacher had a few words. As long as the city authorities tol erate these meetings, they are en titled to the same protection as other religions assembles, no mat ter how poorly some of us think they deserve it. MR. SCHAUB Editor Enterprise: I am pleased to see in yonr paper the name of Mr,' S. Q. Schaub as the probable successor of Mr. Spencer as rail way agent at this place. We be lieve the road will make no mistake in his Appointment. We have personally known Mr. Schaub for fifteen years, and believe he will give the people of High Point- en tire satisfaction. CITIZEN. E. AViles, of Greensboro.was in town this morning. - - AWAIT EQUITABLE MATTER Courts Won't Take VacationAttorney General Mayer Proposes to Sue New York, 23. The regular summer vacations of the court of General Sessions and of the crim inal branch of the Supreme Court w.ll be suspended this year so that the courts may be available if Dis trict Attorney Jerome begins pros ecution in connection with the affairs of the Equitable Life As surance Society. This action was taken upon the request of District Attorney Jerome. District Attorney Jerome, in making his motion to suspend the court's vacation, said he had a let ter from Governor Higgins, offer ing to place the evidence obtained by Superintendent Hendricks at Mr. Jerome s disposal. Mr. Jerome added: ' "It is my desire to have that evidence, and it is my intention to go through it thoroughly. The widespread attention oall- ed to this matter makes it manda tory upon me to make an examin ation of the whole affair. I am not in a position to know at this time whether there has been a vio lation of the law, but it is toy duty to find out." Attorney General C. J. Mayer was at his office in this city today engaged in going over the pro ceedings in the investigation of the Equitable Society. He said action would be taken as soon as physi cally possible. He is of an opinion that separate actions would be taken, one for the restitution of funds wrongfully elicited and an other for the debarment proceed ings against officers, of the society. In commenting on this phase of situation, Mr. Mayer said: "This is a novel action. Under the insurance law the Attornev General has the power to debar officers of an insurance company who have been found derelict in their duty, and this debarment uot only precludes them from holding positions as officers, but also de bars them from acting as direc tors." ABOUT NEW DEPOT The following letter is self-explanatory: Washington, D. C, June 24, 1905. Mr. J. Elwood Cox, High Point, N. C. Dear Sir: On my return home I find your favor of June 12th, and in reply will say our Chief Engi neer has been diligently working on the plans for the new High Point Passenger Station and should have them ready within a short time On account of the narrow space available for the location of the depot, it has been somewhat diffi cult to locate it and not have it look out of proportion. I have instructed our Engineer to hurry the preparation of the plans all possible, and we should be able to ask for bids without much delay. Yours truly, C. H. Ackert. THE ROAD WORK A delegation has gone to Greens boro today to ask the board oi county commissioners for the use of a squad of convicts to assist in macademizing the roads north of town.

Pick ett, of the delegation, and W. H. Ragan, chairman of the board, re turned home at 2 o'clock bringing the news that th6 entire squad of 3J"convicts has been placed at the disposal of the highway commis sion for the work on the roads between High Point and the For sythe line and they will be moved at once, This is good. GAVE HIM VACATION Rev. J. M. Hilliard's congrega tion gave him a purse yesterday and told him to go off for a two week's vacation. Mr. Hilliard wil leave tomorrow for Tackson Springs. DOCKERY BETTER But Condition Still Crit icalOfficers Have Not. Yet LocatedT Bernard Special Daily Enterprise Raleigh, June 26 The condi tion of John C. Dockery, who was shot Saturday by Policeman Isaac Rogers, is more hopeful today, though still critical. Despite the activity of the officers Bernard, for whom a warrant is outstanding, has not been located. The. feeling against him is bitter. IN FAVOR OF MITCHELL Portland, Ore., June 24. Cross examination of former Judge A. H. Tanner, the government's chief witness in the trial of United States Senator John H. Mitchell, charged with practicing before Federal departments while Sena tor, today elicited important testi mony in favor of Senator Mitchell. It was shown by Tanner's evidence that Mitchell had warned Tanner not to involve the Senator in any matters before the departments of the government and not to receive any renumeration for any services the Senator might perform in Washington. Tanner said that there was no understanding with Frederick Kxibs that the money paid by Kribs to Tanner was in return for the services of Mitchell, and that the Senator had no direct knowledge of the sources of his monthly remittances, his shares of the net earnings of the law firm of Mitchell and Tanner. TRAGEDY NEAR ROX- . BORO Roxboro, June 25. Will Bnead was drowned today while swim ming in Marler's creek, two miles from Roxboro. The remains were not recovered for two hours, though there were five others with him, and the creek was not more than fifteen feet wide, but veiy deep. The deceased was an operative at the Roxboro Cotton Mills, aboul 20 years old, and came here about twe months ago from Danville. There is no suspicion of foul play. RIOT VICTIMS TOTAL r,200 Lodz, Russian Poland, June 26. The victims of last week's out break total over twelve hundred. Thus far, the bodies of 343 Jews and 218 Christians have been bur ied. The wounded number over 700. Some semDlance of order has been restored and the workmen are gradually returning to the facto ries. Lieutenant General Suttle worth, commander of the First Cavalry Corps, has assumed com mand of the forces here during the existence of martial law. The Governor General has proclaimed a state of seige here. Since the proclamation of mar tial law, the situation has become quieter. The rumor of an approaching massacre of Jews has caused 20, 000 Jews to leave town. Scattered cases of noting as a result of the insurrectionary spirit, however, continue. , One of these occurred today in the Protestant Cemetary, when a patrol was fired on from behind a wall. The pa trol charged and k illed twelve per sons; five men, four women and three children. Business is at a standstill and traffic has been stop per!. A case of disaffection among the troops was reported today, when the officers of one regiment inform ed their commander that they would refuse to fire on defense less people.
