MR. 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.

MUSIC LOVERS' CLUB.
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

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.

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 '

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

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

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.

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. The regiment was
at once transferred to another
place.
