Mr. John Lewis, one of the good ; citizens of the Southside who has been sick for some time, continues in a pre carious condition. His entire right I side is affected with paralysis aud he is unable to speak. A contract for the construction of three septic sewer tanks was awarded by the city authorities last week to W. R. Pleasants & Co., at a cost of approx- imately $-5,000 each. They are to be used in connection with the new sewer system, whice will,, when completed, rank with the very best in the South. A man named G. (. Miller, who claimed Winston as his home, forfeited a $2o bond in police court Monday for failure to answer a charge of assault. His wife was the object of his wrath, the assault taking place near the coal chute Sunday and causing great indig nation on the part of several who wit nessed it. Contractor Sam Browne has begun work on the excavation for the new $2o,000 church structure which the Centenary congregation will erect this summer on the corner of Fayetteville and Arlington streets. The pastor. Rev. Ira Ervvin, hopes to have the building ready for dedication by the first of November. The coroner's jury after a careful in vestigation of the death of Mary Gant, colored, returned a verdict Saturday placing the responsibility of the child's death on her step-father, Johnson Stroud. Accordingly Stroud will be brought back from Alamance county, where he is serving a short sentence on the roads, and tried for murder. Ben Clarida, a well known farmer living near Sedalia, was given a pre liminary hearing Saturday before U. S. Commissioner J. M. Wolfe on a charge of illicit distilling and bound over to the October term of Federal court un der a bond of $100, D. E. Thomas be coming his surety. The evidence against Clarida is purely circumstan tial. Prof. V. H. Albright, who has just closed a very successful nine-months school at Hamilton, in eastern North Carolina, is. here with his wife for a short visit with the latter's parents, after which they will go to Liberty for the summer months. Prof. Albright is delighted with the eastern country. He says the people there are "Jiving easy". since cotton went up. Successful Suburban Lot Sale. The sale of suburban lots out Spring Garden street, between the city limits and Lindley park, attracted a large number of people last Friday afternoon. The bidding, under the skillful manip ulation of Auctioneer Ferguson, of At lanta", was. quite spirited and in all fifty-nine lots were sold. The buyers and amounts paid fyere are follows: E. M. Moore, $385; G. T. McLamb, $295; W. D. McAdoo, $300; J. R. Jeffreys, ktwo, at $245 and $295; D. R. Huffines, $340; G. T. McLamb, $375; W. D. Mc Adoo, $95; L. 0. Isley, $110; J. O. Har die, two, $165 and $175; R. E. Steele, $165; J. H. Grogan, two, $165 and $135; R. L. Leavel, two, $110 and $85; J. C. Millikan, $65; J. J. Mitchell, $100; J. C. Anderson, $115; J. F. Taylor, $115; Bynum Clegg, $110; A. J. Williams, $100; W. B. Giles, $115; H. M. Cham blee, $110; P. J." Waynick, $110; H. M. Chamblee, Jtwo, $110 and $85; J. R. Bell, $115; H, M.

Millikan & Co., $235; R. E.Steele, two, $200 and $100; J. C. Murchisou, two, $135 and $120; Fred Taylor, $305. Mr. Taylor also bought the lot upon which the house was located. Prthis he paid $2,001. The two lots sold for the benefit of the State Normal and Industrial College and Greensboro Fe male College brought $100 and $105, re spectively. All this property is on or adjacent to the car line and near.the new graded school site, and while it sold well there is no doubt but it will still further enhance in value steadily. The Southern Railway's new yards are not far distant from the property, and as soon as houses can be built there will be a demand for them. In all it was the most successful sale ever man aged by Mr. Jordan, and he has had much experience in that line The Latest Game of Graft. Another iugenious swindle, besides the passing of $1 bills raised to $10, is being worked ouGreeusboro merchants, two of whom have been "bit" within the past week. This fraud is being practiced by negroes,, is worked by "raising" money orders, and the swindlers have been operating in Charlotte, Wilmington, Richmond, Greensboro aud other places in the past two months. Postmaster Glenn, who says he warned merchants here several weeks ago against frauds of the kind described, before the swindlers struck Greensboro, gives the following illustration of how the thing is worked, from a careful examination of the raised orders presented here last week at the postoftice for payment: "A confeder ate, in Charlotte, for example, buys a money order there for o0 cents, payable at some other point of an obscure lo cation. This order is then forwarded to a confederate at Greensboro. The name of the town where the order is payable is taken outby chemicals and Greensboro inserted. The wave line, indicating no dollars, is taken out, and $30 or $40, in one case $50, is written in. The Greensboro confederate goes to a store, usually dressed in overalls, to convey the impression that he works in the city, often explaining that he works on the railroad or at some shop, buys $4 or $5 worth of goods, offers the money order in payment, which in most cases is cashed, as a matter of course. The swindle is discovered when the order is presented at the postoftice." The habeas corpus proceedings, in volving section five of the new street carriage regulation ordinance were ar gued before Judge Alleu at Winston last Thursday afternoon by Messrs. A. M. Scales, representing the city, and J. A. Barringer, who represented the carriage owners' and drivers' organiza tion. Only brief arguments were made Mr. Barringer contending that the pro visions of the ordinance laid down in that section were unreasonable and in vaded the common rights of the citi zens as well as the licensed rights of a carriage driver or owner. The section in controversy reads: -'That it shall be unlawful for any person owning or running a public carriage to transport any man or men, or woman, or women to or from any house of prostitution." A fine of fifty dollars is imposed for each and every oflense. Judge Allen reserved his decision until Monday of this week, but ordered the defendant in the case, Milton Chavis, released from custody. He holds that the sec tion is invalid. For Sale Three good young milk cows. w.J. Groome, 21'2t Greensboro, N. C. Prohibition Election Called. The board of aldermen in regular ses sion last Friday night formally cajled aii election on the saloon question, fix ing Tuesday, the 19th day of July, as the date Of said election. The action of the board was in conformity with the provisions of Chapter 233 of the Public Laws of North Carolina, "An act to regulate the manufacture and sale of liquors in North Carolina," which provides that it shall be the duty of a governing body of any city or town, upon the petition of one-third of the registered voters therein who were registered for the preceding elec tion, to order an election: to be held, af ter 30 days notice, to determine whether or not the sale of liquors shall be au thorized. The authorities found thafa requisite number of voters had signed the petition, whereupon the election was called. Every qualified voter who is in favor of bar rooms or saloons will vote a ticket on whicn is written or printed the wordsy "For Saloons," and those opposed shall vote "Against Saloons." Mr. N. L. Eure is appointed registrar for the election and Messrs. E. A. Brown, J. T. Abbott, B. E. Ser geant, John R. Cutchin, Robert Morri son and C. C. McLean judges or in spectors of election for the the various wards in the order named. At this meeting of the board the sa- loon men applied for a renewal cf license for the six months beginning July 1st. Under the rules the applica- j tions go over to the next regular meet ing. An amendment to the carriage ordi nance submitted by Alderman Wysong providing for the examination of car riage drivers as" to their knowledge of horses and driving aud as to their moral character was adopted. New officers were elected as follows; Plumbing and sewer inspector, W. M. Weatherly; C. H. Ireland and J. R. Mendenhall to succeed themselves on the board of education; S. H. Boyd, member of board of cemetery trusteesr Spiritual Awakening at Proximity. Tvie successful revival which had been in progress nearly two weeks at the Walnut street Methodist church, Proximity, closed Sunday night with an inspiring service at which 37 persons were brought to Christ. In all there were nearly 2-50 conversions aud re clamations at the meeting, the in fluence of which prevaded the entire community. Sunday there were 87 accessions to the church, while others will affiliate with the other denomina tions rerepreseuted there. -The attend ance at the meetings was large from the start, and toward the close hund- reds were turned away nightly for lack I..: 'TM - T oi accoixiiiiouauoLi , x ue pasiui, ne. J. A. Bowles, was ably assisted in this meeting by Rev. E. C. Glenn, oi the; North Carolina Conference, aud his labors were singularly blessed at this place as well as elsewhere. The Prox imity Methodist church is in a most prosperous condition and the recent revival has created greater possibili ties for all the churches of that com munity. The M. P. cburch is prepar ing to build between the Revolution and White Oak mill. Mr. Ware, sec retary and treasurer of the carpet mills, has fitted up a neat chapel and turned it over for the use of religious services and Rev. Mr. Bowles organized, on last Sunday, a Sunday school with a membership of 65. Miss Moose also conducts a club for young women on Thursday night of each week in the same place. A chapel will soon be ! erected near the finishing mills under i i rhP nrnml nhflmfi of the Walnut i street M. E. church. Mr. Edgar I). Broadhurst, who has been at the head of Greensboro's mag- nificeut school system the past three j years, tendered his resignation to me board of education Monday night in order to take the law course at Chapel Hill. The board reluctantly accepted the resignation, and after expressing its high regard for Mr. Broadhurst and gracefully acknowledging by resolution the ability and success that had char acterized his work here,, elected Mr. Wiley H. Swift, principal of the high school the past two years, his succes sor. Mr. Broadhurst's connection with the schools will not cease, however, until the first of September. Mr. Swift is admirably equipped for the position he will assume at the beginning of the next school year, and his promotion is undoubtedly most wTorthily bestowed. The dwelling house of Mr. C. Henry King, a good farmer living seven miles northeast of the city, was totally de-J stroyed by. fire early last Friday morn ing, together with practically all its contents, the family barely escaping with their lives. Mr. King hasnoidea how the fire started, yet he does not think it was of incendiary, origin. He carried no insurance and the loss falls heavily. THE WORK OF AN INCENDIARY. Burlington Inn Unquestionably Fired by Black Fiend, Who is Now Under Arrest. The destruction of the' Burlington Iun and a portion of the Southern Railway depot at Burlington last Wednesday morning, brief mention of whiqh was made last week, was caused by a black fiend who is fortunately under arrest. The fire caused a Joss of nearly $15,000, of which only a small portion is recoverable through insur ance. Aside from the railroad com pany, which owned the hotel building, the heaviest loss falls on Mrs. E. M. Ward, the lessee. Her net loss is per haps $1,500. Numbers of the guests of the house met with small losses., among them Mr. John M. Rose, of the Pied mont Cotton Company, Greensboro, who lost over $25 worth of personal property. ' Just previous to the fire Night Po liceman Patillo saw some one sneak away from the hotel, and he followed to learn the identity of the prowler. Seeing that it was Joe Faucett, a young negro who had been employed about the hotel but had been discharged the week previous7, the officer returned to the depot and was horrified to dis cover smoke pouring from the base ment rooms which Faucette had just left. He at once gave the alarm, but the fire had made such-head way that most 6f the occupants of the hotel had only sufficient time to get out, without taking time 'to secure their personal property. Soon after the fire Faucette was put uuderarre8t. He denied any knowl edge of the origin of. the fire, and it was not untif a railway detective reached the scene that any damaging evidence other than circumstantial was secured against the negro. The detective had himself committed to the county jail at Graham, two miles away, where the negro had been taken for safe keeping, and it was not long before he and the negro became confidential and began to plan their escape as w ell as to burn the jail and the' homes of the officers who had locked them up. The negro, after virtually admitting the responsi bility for the fire, told the detective that he and a white man had killed a man near Lynchburg about a year ago, afterward throwing his body in an abandoned well. Various other in criminating admissions were made by the negro in a burst of confidence that will prove his undoing, and the Ala mance officials are aware that they have a desperate character to deal with. The face of the negro was a ".study in black" when at a preliminary hearing later in the week he was confronted on tfa gtand b th officer who had d as a companion in crime. And it is ! intimated that the good sheriff of Ala- maQCt was ri,edtoIearn tneiden. tity of one of his "prisoners." Steps have been taken toward re building the hotel, and it is safe to say that the progressive spirit of the town will not long sutler the disadvantage of a lack of hotel accommodations. The opening of the summer theatri cal season at the park Monday night was quite satisfactory to the manage ment notwithstanding the threatening weather. An attractive program was putjon at the casino, and only pleasant evenings are needed to guarantee a large attendance. Williams' concert band will give a sacred concert at the park every Sunday afternoon during iae summer ixiouiuw, uegiuuiug at .ou. Altogether it is a delightful place to sPend an afternoon or evening, as the . . a a. i 4- ,1 : l ; a , i ii i : . - -. : t auracuons mere are iioi uisuieasiug tu anyone. Innocent amusements are provided by the management, a first class cafe is open there day and night, and it is safe to say that a better man- d pubic resort does not exist in the state. j The catalogue of Whitsett Institute, Whitsett, N. C, is just from the press for 1904. It is a handsome publication of seventy pages and twenty-three"half tone illustrations. The school shows an enrollment for this year of 250 stu dents gathered from nearly forty North Carolina counties, six counties in Vir ginia, and seven students from Cuba. Two large buildings containing sixteen rooms are now occupied by the school ! as study halls, recitation rooms, etc., and ten boarding halls and dormito ries room and board the students and teachers. The fall term opens August 31st. The summer term is now in ses sion with an excellent attendance and will close July 5th. Copies of this in teresting catalogue may be obtained free upon application.

The receipts on our maiketforthe past week have been the lightest for several weeks; howpver, there was enough offered to keep our buyers in terested and make them want what was offered at mighty good prices. The quality of the weed for the week has been about in keeping with the crop, but we have noticed more dam aged tobacco than for quite a while. This proves our theory that early sell ing is decidedly better. Prices on all grades have remained fully up to the high water mark, and those farmers making offerings on our market have been very highly pleased with their sales. We have a small season this morrring and we would advise farmers to make an effort to market the re mainder of their crop. We know the disposition of all buyers to get through handling the crop. Planting will be general on this season and we hope that farmers will be able to complete this work. Several extra sessions of the mayor's court have been held within the pabt week in order to clear the docket of a number of cases brought against keep ers of bawdy houses. Some of the de fendants have been sent on to court, one oe. two have been discharged and others are pending, while some of the defendants named in warrants served have disappeared. The evidence in these cases shows a deplorable state of affairs, but it is no child's play to cor rect the evils.
