Greensboro, Oct. 3. Special
There were no cases of impor
tance tried in the Federal court
a . .a 1 . . m
vesieraay tne only matter ot espe
cial interest being the refusal of
Judge Boyd to continue until to
aay tne execution of the sentence
of three months imprisonment of
D. L. Arey the wealthy distiller of
Salisbury. Arey was ordered to
be taken to jail, and deputy Brim
leu with him last night for Sails
bury to deliver him into the hands
01 tne laiior ot Rowan county, to
serve his term. Arey also has to
pay over $25,000 in fine and costs,
tbe amount of his distillers bond
ne naa oeen given abont six
ri 1 1 t
months indulgence since his plea
ot guilty at btatesville court, to ar
range his business, escape tbe hot
weather and raise the large amount
of cash. When October second ar
rived Judge Boyd declined to hear
to any further extension of the
time. Only five thousand dollars
of the $25,000 had been paid up to
last night.
It is reported that Arey's lawyers
have been trying to get the sen
tence and- fine remitted at Wash
ington and were working a sort of
a bluff on the court, but it seems
that such things have played out
in tbis district at last. The court
promises to be a big one if there is
any sign in a great cumber of
lawyers. Besides the local bar,
there were twenty visiting lawyers
here yesterday and more coming
on every train.
Capt. W. D. Guthrie, one of the
Southern's younger conductors,
and son of Capt. C. B. Guthrie,
conductor on the Greensboro and
Wilkesboro road died at the resi
dence of his parents here at one
o'clock yesterday morning, aged
twenty-six. Funeral services
were held at tbe residence today ft
10 o'clock. Rev. C. E. Hodgln
officiating and the interment was
at Green Hill cemetery.
Members of the order of Rail
way Conductors and of the South
Side Hose Company acted as pall
bearers. Captain Guthrie bad been
sick for some time suffering from
lung trouble. His death is deeply
lamented for he was a fine charac
ter and an excellent railroad offi
cial.
Mr. George H. Royster, general
organizer of the endowment rank
of K. of P. for the Carolina has
had Virginia added to his field of
operations.
Mr. J. B. Ellington who recently
sold out his interest in the jewelry
business of Bernau & Ellington
will open up a new jewelry busi
ness this week in the store room
in the Benbow hotel block recent
ly vacated by the removal of W'lls
book store to the Guilford hotel
block.
HIGH POINT TRANSFER COMPANY
The good things always come
eventually. The business men of
the town who have heretofore bad
to stop their work to look up a
team for transfer work are pleased I
over the arrangement of the High
Point Transfer Company, whereby
phone service has been established
and business can be done with
some dispatch. Since Mr. Jesse
Harrison has inaugurated this
service for the city there has been
a great improvement in the trans
fer service. Any one may reach
him at phone No, 225 at any time
and calls are answered promptly.
We congratulate the town that Mr
Harrison has solved a problem
here which has given us all trouble.
PORTRAIT OF GENERAL
ROBERT E. LEE
The fact that too frequently it
transpires in American history
that no accurate and authentic
portrait of her great men is faith
fully preserved has caused a num
ber of the devoted admirers of
General Robert E. Lee to interest
themselves to cause a perfect pic
ture of the great General to be
made and to be preserved for all
future history.
This work, after a lapse of forty
years, is now under way by the
John A. Lowell Bank Note Com
pany, of Boston, who are using for
this purpose tbe exact photDgraph
made at Geueral Lee's residence in
Richmond a few days after the
surrender, which picture has al
ways been considered by the Lee
family and friends as the most
perfect likeness ever taken of the
General at that period.
The work, when finished, will
be of the highest art of steel en
graving, so that it will thus be
preserved for all future time.

NOT OUR CUSTOMER
Mr. W. J. Armfield was walking
down the street this morning when a
farmer stopped him and asked:
"Can you tell me where the type
works are Now of course a man's
first impression under a question like
this would be to send a man to the
printing office, but on second thought
Mr. Armfield knew that the enquirer
meant something else and he tried the
experiment and found he was right:
He directed him to a photopraph
gallery.
The farmer wanted a tin type
