Royster, who has been general organizer for the Endow ment Rank of the Knights of Py thias in North and South Carolina for sev eral years, has been notified that his territory has been enlaiged to : in elude the state of Virginia. ' ' jj Bruce Davis, the negro who was re ported to have discovered a go d) mine north of town a few months ago, is xiri jail charged with retailing, 'tie evi dently had a "gold mine" all right, jud eirig from the reports that come from his neighborhood. ; ;. Mr. J. Van Lindley returned last week from Kansas City, where he at tended a meeting of the American Pomological Society, in which he; has been a prominent figure for peveral years. He had a delightful trip through the fruit belts of the West. . Mrs. S. A. Hanner, of this city, was slightly injured in a wreck near. Dau ville, Va., yesterday morning, two pas senger trains coming together with such force as to crush a rear coach in one of them. Two or three other per sons were also slightly injured.' . : The city tax books are now completed and taxes are due and payable in full by the first of November, otherwise a new amendment to the charter : m poses 1 per ceut. a month until paid. A man who does not pay up very soon will add something to the city treasury. It is estimated that there were over 150 conversions or reclamations at . the recent revival meetiugs here. Within the past two weeks over forty have joined the West Market church by let ter or on profession of faith, and there have been corresponding add tiohs to other churches. Mr. Paul Lind ley, who was knocked from his automobile some timejago by a (Winston street car, is able to get about with the aid of crutches. He had a hip badly wrenched in tjae acci dent and it will be several weeks before-he can bear his weight on the in jured member. Barring any unanticipated delay the Industrial News will make its bow to the public next Sunday morning. The editorial staff, printers, stereotypers, pressmen, etc., are here ready to begin work when the gong sounds j for the first time; The plant is practically ready for operation. ' . Mr. William Moser, Jr., a young carpenter employed by Contractor J. C. Morris, fell from the roof of the South ern' Railway's new freight dept Mon day afternoon and his right leg was broken near the thigh. He was taken to his home on Macon street, in South Greensboro, and attended by Drs. Grimsley, Turner and Rieves. 1 Ladies who like to look at nice dress goods should by all means visitThack er & Brockmann's establishment while the great stock of new fall and ; wiuter goods is fresh and unbroken. While the new fabrics are up-to-date and pleasing, prices are very reasonable and an early call at this store will prove both pleasant and profitable. The fall millinery openings last week caused the usual flutter among the fair sex. The stores of the city ma&e their openings more elaborate each year and thereSs a corresponding increase in re turns. Greensboro is really an impor tant millinery center, the stores enjoy ing a patronage that covers a wide scope of territory, and it is fitting that they should meet the requirements of their trade. , r With the County Commissioners and ' Highway Commission. : ; The county commissioners and the highway commissioners were In session jthe first of the week, both bodies trans acting a large amount of business, mostly of a routine natuTe. The county board approved three of the road peti tions submitted at the previous meet ing and continued one that proposed by Peace church to the next meeting. In the highway commission Mr. John L. King was elected chairman ; to suc ceed Mr. W. C. Boreu. A secretary to succeed Mr. King was not chosen and he will continue to perform the duties of that office temporarily. Mr; Boren's resignation from the commission was unanimously rejected by the board of commissioners. The highway com mission, while not announcing a defi nite policy, seems disposed to continue work on all the roads undertaken until the county lines are reached, and a new outfit will be purchased at once to start the work on -other roads. Strong dele gations from various parts of the county appeared before both bodies in the in terest of roads, and there was strong pressure brought to bear on the county board to induce it to turn all or a large majority of the convicts over to the highway commission, which has been seriously handicapped by the scarcity and high price of labor. The board seems disposed to do this as ! soon as existing promises have been fulfilled, and one camp of convicts will be trans-' ferred iu a couple of months and the btber'next year. The county board is authorized to call fotsulficieut convicts at any time to meet all emergencies. Better results are sure to follow when the transfer is made. Death of Mr. Will L. Guthrie. Death ended the sufferings of Mr. William 'L. Guthrie, son of Capt. and 'Mrs. CI B. Guthrie, at one o'clock Mon day morning. Mr. Guthrie's health failed some months ago, beginning with what appeared to be malaria, and phis decline was gradual until the end. Like his father, he was a railroad man, and had risen by merit to a responsible positiou. For several years he was with the Southern, leaving that road to take a position with the Atlantic & Birmingham road in Georgia, where he was a freight conductor. He enjoyed not only the esteem of his employers but that of all his acquaintances and friends as well in a manner that indi cated that his was a noble character. ;His funeral took place at ten o'clock Yesterday morning from Westminster church, of which be had been a mem ber for several years. The service was conducted by .his pastor, Rev. C.,E. Hodgin, and interment was made in Greene Hill cemetery. The funeral was largely attended and there was a most beautiful collection of floral trib utes. The pall bearers were Messrs. E. J. Mendenhall, W. L. Cranford, W. E. Phipps, R. A. Erwin, J. H. Gilliland and J. W. Crews. The Order of Rail way Conductors and the members of SoiUhside Hose Company acted as hon orary pall bearers. Several companies of the fire department were in the line. ;. l . ; J. Tobacco Factory for Sumner. Messrs. W. J. Groome, J. A. Groome nd Z. L. Groome, three progressive citizens , of Sumner township, and ex tensive tobacco growers as well, have about j closed a trade for machinery which will enable them to manufac ture their leaf into smoking tobacco. In addition to their crop of 1905, which is bright and will work to advantage, they have several thousand pounds of scrap carried over from last year, mak ing in all about 25,000 pounds that they will wbrk. It is possible that they will interest some of their neighbors in the enterprise, making it co-operative, iu whfch'event the output of their fac tory will be materially increased. They lack neither ' the enterprise nor ability necessary to success. (iullford's Endowment Reaches $175,000. I Pre'sidiCnt Hobbs and Mr. J. El wood Cox returned from the North last week wuth sufficient subpeiptions to meet the provisions of the conditional subscrip tions heretofore made to Guilford Col lege, making an aggregate of $175,000 in the endowment fund of that fav ored institution. Further subscriptions Which have been proffered j but not actually received will, it is believed, enable the college to erect one or more large new buildings that are necessary because of the increased attendance.

The October term of Federal court opened Monday with a forcible charge delivered by Judge Boyd. Mr. E. A. Guyer, pf Jamestown, was made fore man of the grand jury. An unusual attendance was noted, both on the part of attorneys aad their clients and wit nesses. Eighty-eight cases were on the criminal docket, including the twenty eight indictments found at the re cent special term. The first case of importance was that against D. L. Arey, the well known government distillej and rectifier of Salisbury, who was convicted at the June term in Charlotte and sentenced to three months in jail at Salisbury and .fined 1200. le appeared in court and his sentence started Monday afternoon, a stay of j execution of the sentence hav ing been granted by Judge Boyd up til October 2nd. Arey at the Charlotte term pleaded guilty to the charge of defrauding the government to the amount of $22,000 and a judgment for this bum was entered against him This judgmeut has been paid in part by the defendant. 7 Yesterday Lum Staley, of Julian, was convicted of illicit distillery. He will bej sentenced today. Unusual interest attaches to this term o the court, as it is expected that the indicted revenue officers will be tried, ' and the cases against N. Glenn Williams and the Old Nick Williams Company, of Yadkin county, will also be heard, although there are rumors that they will all be continued. 7 I he Governor to Open the Fair. The management of. the Central Car olina Fair Association has been assured by the; Governor of North Carolina, Hon. R. B. Glenn, that he will be present and open the fair Tuesday, Oc tober 10th, with an address, aud every: farmer in this section is urged to at tend the opening exercises of their home fair and show bis exoellency by their presence their high appreciation of him.! An elaborate program is be ing arranged and the anaociatiou wants everybody to get in the procession and rree the attendance on the first day the largest in the history of the fair. 7 Many people have an idea that the first day is not as good as those follow ing, largely from the fact that the ex hibits are not all iu place before noon, but this is a mistaken idea, as racing, free attractions, etc., are booked for the first dav the same as-the balance of the week, jaud you will miss a treat if you fail to j be at the opening and do not participate iu these exercises. Changes at Vanstory's. The withdrawal of Mr. G. A. Rankin from the Vaustory Clothing Company to engage in the insurance bu&iiiess brought about several changes in the personnel of the officials of that well known establishment, of which Mr. C. M-Vaustory is president. Succeeding Mr. Rankin as secretary and treasurer is the former vice president, Mr. W. G.: Balsley. Mr. T. L. McLean, hereto fore one of the directors, has been chosed vice president. Mr. A. W. Mc Knlghit was added to the board of dir rectors which includes, in addition to the above-named officers, Messrs. J Van Lindley and J. R. Cutchin. Mr. Rankin, who now has charge of the Greensboro business of, the Southern Life and Trust Company's life depart ment, retains his interest in the store. I : : State Fair Excursion Rates. The 'southern Railway will run ex cursionj trains from Greensboro to Ral eigh on Wednesday and Thursday of the State fair, October 18th and 19th, leaving here at 7 A. M. and arriving at Raleigh at 10.20. Returning trains leave Raleigh at 5.15 P. M. The round trip fair, including admission to the fair grounds, is only $3.15. As our readers know, President Roosevelt will attend the state fair on Thursday, the i9th, and the reception in his honor will be on an elaborate scale. Military and civic associations representing every section !of the state will participate and the attendance promises to be a record breaker. I - ) Mr. R.C. Bernau has purchased the interest of Mr. J. B.Ellington in the firm of Bernau & Ellington, jewelers, of this city. Mr. Bernau will conduct the business in the future at the same place as formerlv. He is an experienced jeweler! and a most clever and 'affable gentleman. Mr. Ellington has rented the store room recently vacated by Wills'sibook store and will opena jew elry stojre there about November lst J Seed Wheat!

GREENSBORO TOBACCO JiARKET. The receipts on oil our market for the! past week have been the heaviest in ten! years for this , season of the year. On last Thursday and Friday the high top wagons rolled in from every sejction of the country and filled our ware houses to overflowing,, and on Friday everybody seemed to want to t-ell to bacco on thfs market. There were a bout 100,000 pouuds on sale aud anywhere froui 150 to" 200 wagons on the mairket, which made things quite lively all over town. On Friday's opening sale of the Planters warehouse there ere lots of farmers present. A great many ladies visited the sales. I j Considering the large quantity pf to bacco offered there was pretty geperal satisfaction, but of course some people came to market expecting more for their tobacco than it was m orth because it jwas the opening sale in the new warehouse, but if they had stopped to think a moment they would not have expected more than it was worth, for our buyers are not that kind of people. They always want to pay every farmer everything his tobacco is worth at all times and under all conditions, but it is not our intention (o ruu one man's tobacco up to a high price and kit an other man's tobacco go at a low price. This would not be right, and we cau-. not afford to do it. The writer stopped and looked over the sales a great many times last Friday and remarked that there was the most common tobacco on sale that he ever saw to be no fine wrappers at all. There was not a single pile of fine wrappers in all of that! large sale, but the bulk of the offeriugi was common to medium tobacco, mostly common to very common. J Prices on all grades were unchanged, and notwithstanding the large Quan tity of tobacco our buy ers seemed; to be as anxious for the weed on yesterday as they were last Friday. Tnerp was a good sale yesterday and everybody was very well pleased. , We now have three warehou ses m full blast on this market and our buyers are very anxious for tobacco, so we trust farmers will patronize us jtist as long as they can get fully as much if not more for their tobacco on this mar ket than they can get elsewhere. j CAUTION TO FARMERS. Please do not get your tobacco in soft order, for it will not bring as muc cause our buyers cannot handles it to advantage when it is so soft. Wejwant tobacco in good nice soft keeping order and will pay more for it in this order than we will in any other condition. Please be careful to observe this request, as we have seen hundreds of piles dur ing the past week sell for less thaja they were worth because they were too soft. Claude Barker, the twelve-year-old son of Mr. G. P. Barker, of Providence township, Randolph county, attempted a Wild West performance last) week with a cow which j he was driving to pasture. With one end of his; rope lariat wrapped about his wrist he suc ceeded in landing the noose on the cow's horns, and then there was trouble. The frightened cow jerked the boy off his: feet and dragged him two hijndred feet over a stony piece of ground and when he and the cow parted company he lacked just one fig leaf of having on as much apparel as Adam wore in the Garden of Eden. Itj is needles to say that the boy's body jtvas painfully cut and bruised in innumerable places, but he is recovering rapidly and will soon be well again. j For Lease One two-horse farm.

DAVID WHITE, Secretary Opening of the Planters. -Mr. R. O. Gamble is to be congratu lated on the successful opening of his new warehouse, the Planters, last Frir day. He had all ,the leaf that the big house would hold, the warehouse lot and muchsurrounding vacant property being.covered with teams aud wagons. There was general satisfaction with the sale except 011 the part of a few farmers who had an impression that an o en ingsale would enable them to work off a jot of very common tobacco at a fancy price. Common tobacco brought all it was worth, and in some instances more, if disinterested farmers are to be be lieved, while the Jittle sprinkling of fair leaf sold well. Mr. Gamble has a good house and a competent force of employes, and there is every assurance that he will be favored with a flatter ing patronage. The famous W. L. Douglas line of. men's shoes are now made in five grades, sold at $2, $2 50, f3,'$3 50 'and ,$4.00. Thacker & Brockmann have built up a big trade in these excellent shoes, carrying a large stock in many, different weights and shapes, so that every man who calls for a Douglas shoe 1 can be fitted and pleased. Every pair ia positively guaranteed and people who buy one pairsbf the Douglas make generally wear them "forever after. it The Farrington arson trial in the Su perior court resulted in the conviction of Baity and Prince Farrington, a mis trial resulting as to Torn Farrington, their father. A verdict was rendered Wednesday afternoon, and the boys were sentenced to five years each on the county roads; Notice of, appeal was filed. Tom Farrington gave $1,000 bond for his appearance at the next term of court. The jury is said to have stood 10 to 2 in favor of his conviction.
