UNFORTUNATE OCCURRENCE.
Encounter Between Rev. Dr. Kilgo
and Mr. Crawford.
Somewhat of a sensation was created
Monday morning by a personal en
counter between Mr. R.B.Crawford,
of Winston-Salem, and Rev. Dr. J. C. j
Kilgo, president of Trinity College, on
the train between Greensboro and Bur
lington. It is said that Mr. Crawford
asked for an explanation of a letter
written .to him by Dr. Kilgo in re
sponse to a request for information as
to the accuracy of a published report
of a speech made by the latter in
Greensboro about two months ago.
Mr. Crawford said the letter was very
unsatisfactory. Continuing the con
versation, he denounced the continued
attacks of Dr. Kilgo upon his father,
Rev, Dr. L. W. Crawford, editor ot the
North Carolina Christian Advocate, as
cowardly. Dr. Kilgo then applied the
epithet of coward to Mr. Crawford,
who in turn struck the college presi
dent. It is claimed by Dr. Kilgo's
friends that he was at a disadvantage
in protecting himself, and that while
he did not attempt to strike Mr. Craw
ford, he was struck by the latter several
times. Passengers on the train inter
fered and Mr. Crawford retired to an
other car.
The trouble was the result of ill feel
ing that has existed between Dr. Kilgo
and Mr. Crawford's father for several
years. Dr. Crawford's ,paper, the
Christian Advocate, has been unfriend
ly to Dr. Kilgo, and the latter has not
hesitated to denounce the paper and
its editor. Mr, R. B. Crawford, who
attacked Dr. Kilgo on the train, is
president of the Christian Advocate
Publishing Company and is also a
graduate of Trinity College. He is an
official of the Methodist church in
Winston-Salem, where he is engaged
in the hardware business.
The unfortunate occurrence is to be
regretted, for it will doubtleess add
fresh fuel to the flames and still
further widen the breach between
what is known as the Kilgo and anti
Kilgo factions in North Carolina
Methodism.
Deputy Sheriff Weatherly, who
went to Woodstock, Va., to arrest M
S. Welton, the bigamist who married
Miss Mamie Wilson a month or more
ago, returned last Thursday with Wel-
ton's latest wife and victim. The big
amist had skipped before the arrival
of the officer, He represented himself
to be an important railroad official and
told his wife that he had been called to
Ke?6er, W. Va , on business. He had
possession of practically all of his wife's
money and left her in Woodstock with
only $7 in cash. Prior to the arrival
of Deputy Sheriff Weatherly Mrs. Wel
ton had received no intimation that
her husband was a bigamist with three
other living wives. The unfortunate
young woman and the members of her
family are naturally greatly distressed.
They have the sympathy of the public.
It is to be hoped that the scoundrel
Welton will be captured and punished
as be so richlv deserves.
Mr. J. G. Hodgin, one of Guilford's
prominent and useful citizens, died at
his home near Center last Thursday
after an illness of about two weeks.
He had typhoid fever. Mr. Hodgin
was about sixty-three years aid. A
wife and three children Mrs. Julia
Hooks, of Goldsboro; Mr. E. A. Hod
gin, of Center, and Mr. S. G. Hodgin,
of Greensboro in addition to a large
number of relatives and friends, are
left to mourn bis departure. The re
mains were interred at Center Satur
day. '
The executive committee of the
Central Carolina Fair Association held

Death on the Rail.
Lake Landreth, the eighteen-year-
old son of Mr. Frank Landreth, of this
city, met a horrible and sudden death
about 1 o'clock Sunday morning. With
three companions, he boarded a freight
tra'n which was beipg shifted near the
eastern limits of the Southern Railway
yards with the intention of ridiDg to
the station. They were on top of a
box car, and when near Sergeant's
foundry young Landreth, in attempt
ing to step from one car to another,
lost his footing and fell to the ground
between two cars. His head, which
fell across the track, was completely
served from his body by a car wheel.
Dr. J. P. Turner, county coroner, was
notified, but he did not consider it nec
essary to hold an inquest. The remains
were interred in Greene Hill cemetery
Sunday afternoon.
Will Holt and Tom Longest, two
young men of Graham, were brought
here last Friday on a bench warrant
issued by Judge Shaw. They were
charged with assaulting Sam White,
of Mebane, during the progress of a
game of baseball at Graham a week
previously. They gave bond in the
sum of $100 each for their appearance
at a preliminary hearing in August,
but White's injuries were so serious
that this amount of bail was considered
insufficient, and hence the bench war
rant. Judge Shaw fixed the amount
of the bonds at $1,000 each, which the
young men readily gave, Mr. W. H.
Holt, postmaster of Graham and father
of Will Holt, and Mr. J. N. Longest, of
this city, uncle of Tom Longest, be
came sureties for the defendants.

"Prof." H. P. MacKnight, who
created such a stir in High Point re
cently, and who suddenly disappeared
from Greensboro two or three weeks
ago, has returned and says he will re
main here. He denies that he was
ever an inmate of the penitentiary of
Ohio or any other state or thatbe went
to Danville under an assumed name.
He says that he went to Buffalo Lithia
Springs to recuperate, but does not
explain why he left Greensboro so
suddenly a few hours after the burial
of bis baby or why he did not take his
wife with him. Mrs. MacKnight has
been critically ill since the return of
her.hu8band.
Mr. William E. Smith, who had
been sick since last spring, died at his
home near Guilford College last Thurs
day night. He suffered from asthma
and a complication of other diseases.
The remains were interred at Guilford
College Saturday morning, the funeral
service being conducted by Rev. A. G.
Kirkman. Mr. Smith was 75 years old
and for many years had been a consis
tent member of the Methodist church.
He is survived by five sons and one
daughter, his wife having died a year
or more ago. The community suffers
a distinct loss in the death of Mr.
Smith.
, The sale of the property of the
Greensboro Water Supply Company to
the city, about which there was con
siderable delay and inconvenience, was
confirmed last Thursday, when Judge
Boyd, of the United States courts,
siirned a decree ordering the receiver
to convey the property, free of all in
cumbrances, to the city upon receipt
of the purchase price, $75,000. Persons
having claims against the property are
required to file them within sixty days.
Future litigation will be over the pro
ceeds of the sale, and not over the
property itself.

MARKET BEPORT.
The receipts on oar market for the
past week have been rather light, due
mainly to the fact that the farmers
have sold out all of their last year's
crop except a few remnants which
they are now putting on the market
and receiving good prices for them.
Prices on all grades have been well
maintained, with a very activemarket,
and our buyers seem to be anxious for
the weed whenever it is offered for
sale.
The condition of the growing crop
remains about the same, which is very
fair indeed, and we hope to see a good
crop harvested this year.
We have heard of a good many peo
ple who put in primings last week, but
we have not heard how they are suc
ceeding with- their cures. We hope,
however, that their success is abund
ant and that they will soon bring some
of their primings to market. -
Our buyers have been doing nothing
so long that they will pay a good price
for almost anything now just to get
something to do, and are prepared to
handle primings this year in greater
quantities and at better prices than
ever before.
Mr. S. G. Williams, who has been on
the Greensboro tobacco market for sev
eral months, has gone to Goldsboro to
engage in the warehouse business dur
ing the remainder of the season.
According to the revised figures of
the Western Tobacco Journal, the to
bacco crop in Kentucky in 1900 was
188 916,512 pounds. That does not ex-
I ceedfmuch thecrop of NorthJCarolina, '
which runs considerably over 100,000
000 pounds.
The new season for marketing leaf
tobacco in the South has begun, and it
is a matter of regret that the crop to
be handled will not be one to delight
the eye to look upon. The weather
this year has been all wrong. In this
part of the country we have bad too
much rain, while in the West drought
has played havoc.
Mr. R. K. Stanley, of this county,
who went to Timmonsville, S. C, last
week to take a position as head book
keeper in the Banner warehouse there,
driving through the country in a bug
gy, writes the Patriot: "The crop
prospects through this section are very
discouraging. Many farmers have
made an unconditional surrender to
General Green,"
Just as the cotton mills are being lo
cated near the source of the raw ma
terial, so the leaf stemmeries are being
removed in closer proximity to the
fields. Bright tobacco.iDstead of beirg
shipped to central points to be re
handled and prepared for export, will
be largely in the future exported di
rect from the local markets. Thus the
importance of North Carolina and
South Carolina as tobacco states is
greatly enhanced. Southern Tobacco
Journal.
tobacco grown under shade.
A letter from Tallahassee, Fla., says :
"Most of the tobacco grown in Gads
den county this year has been irrigated
and grown under shade. The crop is
said to be very fine, and a number of
sales have been made at prices rang
ing from 45 cents to 75 cents per
pound. Thomas J. Davis, a farmer in
the Mocnt Pleasant neighborhood, has
sold a four-acre crop for $2,500 and
James B. Ball a six-acre crop for
$2,700. The El Provido Cigar Com
pany is, the principal tobacco pro
ducer in Leon county, owning a large
plantation 12 miles north of Tallahas
see, where it has a crop of 15 or 20
acres of excellent tobacco grown un
der shade."
The North Carolina crop bulletin for
the week ending MoBday, July 21, says :
The remarks of crop correspondents
for the week just past, are generally
quite unfavorable, and indicate con
siderable injury to crops by excessive
moisture and only slight improvement
in favored localities. The chief objec
ionable feature was the large amoui t
of rain, occurring about the 15rh and
I8tb. though at many points showers
fell on every day of, the weekV-iFiK,
mers hardly had any 'opportunity-ifo

ing of the soil by heavy rains, bottom
lands have been flooded again, neces

continues; however, where-properly
cultivated, cotton is doing fairly well,
though generally making too much
weed, and not fruiting rapidly ; cotton
is shedding forms badly in many locali
ties; in some counties on the eastern
slopeof the Blue Ridge the crop seems
to be blooming and forming fruit more
freely, but for the state at large the
concensus of opinion is tfiat the crop
is very inferior. Much corn on bottom
lands was destroyed by freshets; on
uplands the crop looks fairly well,
though some is turning yellow; the
weather has been too wet to finish
laying by in good order. Cutting and
curing tobacco is progressing slowly
with many good cures reported; it is
large enough to cut'in central coun
ties, which will be done as soon as the
rains cease; some tobacco is poor and
has started second growth.
