Chief of Police Scott Returns from West Virginia With the Wife Murderer. Chief of police W. A. Scott returned from Charlestown, W. Va., Sunday evening with Green McAdoo, colored, who is under indictment here for mur der, the victim being his wife. The crime was committed over a year ago and save for an occasional arrest of some suspect invariably turning out to be the wrong man it might have been forgotten ere this. Recently, however, Chief Scott received a letter from ,a col ored boy who formerly lived here stat ing that he knew where McAdoo was and asking for a warrant for his arrest. The chief was satisfied that the boy knew McAdoo, and wrote him that the best plan would be to have the mur derer put under arrest by the proper authorities. The boy knew there was a reward of $300 outstanding for Mc Adoo and after making a written agree ment with the chief of police at Charlestown as to a division of the re ward told the latter officer that the man wanted was a cook at the Ruffin, Charlestown's leading hotel, going by the name of Henry Young. Immedi ately after the arrest Chief Scott was notified and he set out for West Vir ginia to secure the fugitive. Reaching his destination a day late because of a railroad wreck which delayed traffic he found the prisoner to be the man he had so industriously sought for (sev eral mouths. The recognition at the Charlestown jail was mutual, and had the circumstances been different the chief might have had good reason to believe that Green was really glad to see him.' He said he was tired of the suspense! and was ready to return to Greensboro without a requisition. The trip home was uneventful, the prisoner making no trouble whateverand main taining a discreet silence except as to his movements after the murder. Re garding his crime he said but little, other than. that his wife was unfaithful, though he did not intend to kill her. He denied that he was drunk at the time of the murder, and appears to be lieve that he can explain matters satis factorily when brought to trial. There were eye witnesses to the tragedy, how ever, and their testimony is a matter of record. After shooting his wife Mc Adoo says he went into the Jackson woods and made his way to old West Green, beyond' Pomona, where he spent the rest of the night in ibe bush The next day he started up the big road to Winston. After spending a couple of days there and learning of his wife's death he walked back to Greensboro in the night, stopping a few minutes at his mother's home. From there he went to South Boston, Va., and remained until May, when he came to Roxboro, in 'Person eouuty, where he stayed until August. Theu he went by way of Lynchburg to Charlestown. and since last September had been cooking in the hotel there. Aside from shaving off his moustache he has changed but little in appear ance since he left here, yet he would hardly have been identified by the picture sent out by the authorities, which was made from a crayon. Mc Adoo will be tried at the August term of Guilford Superior court. Site for a New High School Building. The city authorities have purchased of Mr. A. T. Robinson his lot near the intersection of West Washington and South Spring streets, having a front age on Spring of 172 and a depth of 300 feet, and will locate the new high school building there. The location is desirable, as it is near the center of population and likely to remain so for several years. The overcrowded con dition of the schools rendered this step inevitable, and while it is not possible to erect a building there before the next school year opens it paves the way for increased facilities that can not much longer be delayed. Greensboro is de termined that her advancement along educational lines shall keep pace with her advancement in other respects, and the time is near at hand vhen a child can enter the kindergarten here and pass through all the grades, including a thorough high school course, aud emerge fully equipped for the duties of life or prepared to enter any college or university in the country.

Union ReviTal Services Conducted by the Evangelists Closed Friday Night. Friday night marked the close of the most notable revival services ever held in Greensboro. The churches of the city united in the" invitation .to Evan gelists Sam Jones and George Stuart, and the presence of these gifted men fulfilled every expectation. Interest in the meeting never flagged for a mo ment, and the last day's services were, if anything, more largely attended than those of the first day; At Friday night's meeting, the last of all, there were between five and six thousand people present, the big warehouse be ing more densely packed than at any other service. Mr. Stuart had started to his home in Tennessee the night pre vious, and Mr. Jones was left to bring the! meetings to a close. He made a profound impression iu his closing re marks aud scores were moved to a dec laration of their intention to lead a bet ter life. When he asked how many had been benefited by the meeting fully live thousand arose. Following the sermon Dr. Turren tine read a set of resolutions signed by the ministers thanking Messrs. Jones and Stuart for their excellent work heye and also thanking Mr. Edward MacKenzie, the chorister, and Mrs. Mary Mays, a daughter of Mr. Jones, the pianist, for their efficient services, together with an acknowledgment of gratitude toward everyone who had iu any way helped to make the meetings a success. The entire assemblage en dorsed these resolutions. The collections for the incidental ex penses of the meetings just about met the requrements and with themoney that will be realized from the sale of the seats it is thought there will be no deficiency. About $1,200 were con tributed in the collections taken for the benefit of the evangelists. Mr. Jones and his daughter and Col: Tom Durham, who has traveled with Mr. Jones for years, have gone to their home in Georgia. Mr. MacKenzie left for his home in Kentucky Saturday night. A strong temperance sentiment which developed during the closing days of the meetings crystallized into a demand for prohibition in Greensboro, and petitions for au election to be held at the earliest possible date are now being freely signed.. No one seems to dcthtlpjhibition iU-tjitrryhexe-wbVft comes ttf a vote. The petition will j$) submitted to the board of alder men a i' their" next -regular iheetin g. Kot even a ray of hope iu the" shape of a dispensary lights the horizon of the old toners now. State Convention Preliminaries. Active preparations for the Demo cratic state convention, which meets here June 23rd, have been undertaken by competent committees selected from the authorized representatives of the various business organizations of the city. At a meeting last week presided over hy Mayor Osborn an executive committee and finance committee were named as follows. Executive committee Messrs. Z. V. Taylor, chairman; A. M, Scales, F. P. Hobgood, Jr., J. S.Michaux aud C. G. Wright. Finance committee T. J. Murphy, chairmau; R. M. Rees, C. H. Ireland, E. A. Brown, O. C. Wysong, P. D. Cold, Jr., G. A. Grimsley, T. A. Glas cock, B. E. Smith, R. J. Mebane, Dr. J. E. Brooks and R. R. King. On Monday the executive committee closed a contract for the use f the Banner warehouse during the conven tion. The building is large, conven iently located and can be admirably adapted to the needs of the convention. The four thousand ormore seats used in the Joues-Stuart meetings will be retained and hundreds of others added. The platform will be lowered a little and reduced in size, thus adding to the fioor space. Scores of additional elec tric lights, electric fans and other con veniences will be added, and several more ventilators placed in the roof, so that the comfort of those who attend may be assured. Beyond doubt the convention will be the largest gather ing of the kind ever known in the stated as at no time in the past has it been possible for any city to offer the facilities that Greensboro affords this year. Closing of the City Schools. The commencement exercises of the city schools will take place on Thurs day ai5d Friday nights of this week. On Thursday night the graduating class exercises will be held in the chapel of Lindsay street school. At that time prizes, etc., will be awarded.

An investigation of the 'death of a colored girt named Mary Ganf, aged nine years,- step-daughter of Johnson Stroud, may lead to a charge of murder j being preferred against Stroud. Thej family has lived., on' -North Gilmer street for several years in almost con'-; stant turmoil, which once caused' Stroud to be sent to the roads for beat ing his Wife and finally ended by her leaving a week or so ago and going to Graham to live, taking her daughter with her. Stroud followed, and tried to get the'm to come. back' home, but they refused, whereupon he beat the woman terribly -and threatened to kill het, for-which off euse he was sent to the roads in Alamance. Last Friday the woman and child came home. In cooking supper some corn meal was used that Stroud had brought to the house the day before they left, and soon after eating they became violently ill. The woman got better during the night but the child grew steadily worse, and 'notwithstanding the fact that a physician was called she died early Sunday morning. That afternoon Cor oner Turner held an inquest over the remains of the child, sending the stom; ach as well as some of the. meal to the state chemist for analysis. It is be lieved that Stroud poisoned the meal, knowing his wife's fondness for it. Since the inquest certain developments have strengthened the belief as to the man's guilt. Stroud can be secured at any time the authorities here feel that his presence is necessary, and in the event the state chemist's' examination is delayed beyond the expiration of his sentence he will be taken into custody to await developments. WcAdbo-Killian Marriage. i Mr. Thomas J. McAdoo, a prominent business man of this place, and Miss Jiouise Killian, of Greenville, S. C, were married last Wednesday in New York, the ceremony being performed at the Calvary Baptist church by Rev. Robert S. MacArthur. Miss Killian is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James L. Killian, of Green ville. Her acquaintance with Mr. Mc Adoo is said so have begun about two years ago, and he went to New York about two weeks ago to insist on an early marriage, which was duly refer red to her parents and their consent Mifrs -Killian Jias been epeadiug the ! winter in New York and has" been con- neeted with Dr. Mac Arthur's church in the training of children's choruses, while she has frequently filled the so prano's place in the choir, and is a great favorite with the congregation. Her musical attainments have been recognized in many ways by the mu sical world of New York, and she has assisted in many concerts and other entertainments, where her magnificent voice has attracted general attention and much favorable criticism. She will be a charming addition to the so cial circles of this city: The happy couple came to Greens boro Saturday evening and have since been busy receiving the warm congratu lations of hosts of friends. From here they go to Greenville to visit the bride's parents, and later they will visit friends in Virginia. Republicans Offer Up Reynolds as a Sac rifice. . . The Fifth" district Republican con vention met here yesterday and nomi nated Postmaster C. A. Reynolds, of Winston-Salem, for Congress, the hon or being bestowed in a perfunctory manner. The convention met in the county court house, all the counties of the district being represented. Chair man J. T. Benbow, of Winston-Salem, presided. Mr. Reynolds' name was the only one proposed for congress and the nomination was made by accla mation. The nominee thanked the convention and said he would make an effort to win, intimating that he would challenge Congressman lvitcnin, who will be renominated by the Dem ocrats without opposition, to a joint de bate. Mr. Reynolds will not relin quish his grip on his present job, how ever, in order to make the4 canvass. Messrs. W. T. O'Brien, of Durham, and R. D. Douglas, of this city, were chosen delegates to the national con vention, and Messrs. R. S. Petree, of Stokes, and C. D. Turner, of Orange, alternates. A large number of Republicans, in cluding all the wheel horses of the party, have gathered here for the state convention, which meets today in the opera house. Zeb Vance Walser, of Lexington, will likely receive the-oom-i nation for governor. The convention will be a lilly white affair. Odell-Merrimon. The following wedding invitations has been sent to friends: "Mr. and Mrs. Branch Hugh Merrimon request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter, Bessie, to Mr. Fred Chambers Odell, on WednesdayJune the 1st, 1904, at half after eight o'clock, West Market Street Methodist Episco pal church, Greensboro, N.

The receipts on our market for the past week have been very good, con sidering so many farmers have sold' out about all of their holdings and the fact that the Jones-Stuart meeting-was in progress pretty nearly all the week. The offeririgs consisted mainly of good working tobacco and the commoner types, with a very few good to fine wrappers, but' all grades of desirable to bacco were in very active demand at the best prices of the season. We now consider our prices better than they have been during the present season.
