In the mayor's court Friday after noon Daisy Gibson and Fannie Tatum were held to the next term of Superior court on the charge of burglarizing the store of the Ward Shoe Company Wed nesday night and stealing therefiom some shoes, the number of which is not known, and probably never will be known, as one of the burglars has es caped. In her testimony before the mayor, Daisy Gibson implicated a negro man by the name of Tim. Emerson, who bears an unsavory reputation. Emer son is only about 17 years old, but he has committed a number of daring crimes. The Gibson woman said that Emerson left here on a train Wednes day niuht. She was quite talkative and told all about the robbery. Wfceu the customary question of "guilty or not guilty" was asked Fan nie Tatum she said she was guilty of being there, but as to entering the store she was not guilty. But on the stand she denied any knowledge what ever of the theft, saying that she left Daisy Gibson and Tim Emerson at the corner of West Washington and South Elm street and went home. She said she did not see Fannie any more until late in the night when she came to her house. She said Fannie did not have any shoes then. Of course, her story was n )t believed. Beside the4 confes sion of Daisy Gibson which implicates Fannie Tatum there are other circum stances which point to the Tatum wo man is guilty. There is evidence that the names of all the parties connected with the af fair have not yet been brought to light. A reliable party told Mr. R. A. Ward Thursday morning that Wednesday night shortly after 12 o'clock he saw two negro men and two negro women standing in front of the Ward Shoe Store looking in the window. The four went to West Washington street and turned down the street. Daisy Gibson is held on another charge in which Tim Emerson also figures, as does Lillie Gilmer. They are I charged with the larceny of a watch j from the Banner boarding house on East Market street the property of Miss L.aura White, a boarder. While I at the beginning of the trial a strong ,chain of circumstantial evidence was woven tightly around the defendants, it was not until JLillie was called back ! to the stand the second time by Acting J Mayor Thompson, at the suggestion of the chief of police, that there was any direct evidence against the women. This time Lillie unconsciously said in a low tone of voice, "I haven't got the watch; Daisy gave it to Tom." Her remarks were not spoken so low they could not be heard by the mayor, however, and she was asked to explain the theft in detail, which she did. The two women worked at the Banner house from Friday to Monday last week. They were in Miss White's room several times during the morning without having any business there. Both left the employ of the boarding house rather hastily before noon that day. Both were bound over to court. Bryan May Attend Fair. Some months ago Dr. Charles D. Mclver and Solicitor Aubrey L. Brooks were appointed a committee to write William Jennings Bryan to come to Greensboro in October and make an j address at the Central Carolina fair, j Dr. Mclver, as chairmau of the com- mittee, wrote Mr. Bryan. Last week , Dr. Mclver received the following re ply, written from Paris August 18: "Your favor to hand. I thank you for the invitation but I am not sure that I can come to your section of the country at that time, as I shall be at home only for a few weeks before I leave for Australia and New Zealand. I may be too busy with necessary work. Do not count on me, but ad dress me again at Lincoln, where I ex pect to be about the 5th of September and then I can answer finally." Dr. Mclver and Mr. Brooks are not discouraged by the letter, but will re new their efforts to get Mr. Bryan to visit Greensboro and will not 'give up their efforts to discharge successfully the task imposed upon them by the Fair Association as long as there is any hope whatever. for Thirty Days Only. My dry goods, men's clothing and low quarter shoes must be closed out by the last of September, and I have made another reduction in prices, as I need the room for other lines. If you want goods for school dresses you should come here at once. Ten cent ginghams at 5 and 6 cents, and other nice goods at corresponding prices. If your children netd school shoes you can get them here at a cut price. R. P. GOBBELL, 35-2t. 507 South Elm street. TEMPORARY ORDER MADE. Children of F. S. Hutchlns and Wife, Who Have Parted, in Court in Habeas Corpus Proceeding:. Judge Fred Moore in chambers Sat urday afternoon made a temporary ol der placing two children of S. F. Hutchins and wife, Mrs. M. A. Hutch ins, of Rockingham county, in charge of Mrs. Hutchins' parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Coble, of Randolph county. The hearing was continued by consei t of counsel until Saturday, September 22ud. Mr. Hutchins was not ready to go into the hearing and asked for a continuance. Deputy Sheriff J. E. Lambeth, of Rockingham county, brought Mrs. Hutchins, her infant child, and the two older children over the possession of whom the. litigation has arisen to the city Thursday night. The rule com manding them to be brought before Judge Moore was issued a day or so be fore. The hearing was first set for Fri day morning at 9 o'clock, but was then continued until 5 o'clock Saturday af ternoon. At that time Mr. Hutchins and attorney, Col. J. A. Barringer were not ready to go into the hearing, and a temporary order was made by Judge Moore. In the complaint on the strength of which the hearing is to take place, it is alleged that the mother is not a proper person to have charge of the children. The reasons assigned for her unfitness are that she has been untrue to her husband; that a child born July 29 last is not the child of her husband but of another man, and various other reasons of a kindred nature. The family lived at White Oak be fore husband and wife separated some thing over a year ago. The husband charges that while they lived there and before they separated his wife re ceived attentions from another man and began her practice of unfaithful ness to him. Mrs. Hutchins says she can prove every one of her husband's charges to be baseless if she can only have a little time. She asserts that she is the vic tim of rruel charges for which there is no ground whatever. She said that for some time past she has been living at "DraperVas some call it.orJ.'Sharpe's" as others call it, this beinga new mill settlement in Rockingham county. She has retained Mr. G. S. Bradshaw as counsel. SUPERIOR COURT LAST WEEK. Only a Few Cases Tried at One-Week Ctvli Term. Only a few cases were tried in Guil ford Superior court last week.

About one hundred and fifty teachers were present yesterday and an equal number is present today. The teachers of the Greensboro schools were present yesterday and will attend throughout the week.

They have given a number of lessons in the various branches taught in the public schools, j These lessons are full of interest and . the teachers give close attention to the talks. A. T. Company Puts Salaried Buyer on Greensboro Tobacco Market. Greensboro as a tobacco markethas gained the substantial recognition of the Americau Tobacco Company and has-been placed on a footing equal to that of Danville and WinBtou. The American has within the past week placed one of its salaried buyers here, and by its action has stimulated the market materially. The new buyer is Mr. R. R. Patterson, formerly of Dan ville, Va., a young gentleman, of pleas ing address and rare busfouess qualifi cations. He will utilize the big leaf house of J. H. Whitt & Co. on Noith Greene street for storage purposes and will operate extensively during the en tire tobacco season. Mr. C. A. Bray, who has been buy ing on commission here for the A.T. Company for several years, will con tinue as a buyer. He holds several large orders and willxcontinue to be a lively factor in the Greensboro market. His work for the American here was satisfactory in every particular and the company offered him flattering inducements to locate in a similar ca pacity elsewhere, but his business in terests are so extensive that he feels as though he can not leave. His many friends in and around Greensboro will be pleased with his decision in the matter. He has long been one of the most active and aggressive leaf mien on the Greensboro market and as an in dependent buyer will continue to make his influence felt on every sale. Carson Said to be Alive. A letter received in the city Monday from a brother of Will Carson, the ne gro who is supposed to have been killed at Hill Top several weeks ago, states that the man who was shot has nearly recovered from the wound inflicted by Charles Hairston, who is now in jail charged with murdering him. The shooting occurred about four weeks ago at a camp of one of the forces employed in double tracking the Southern railroad. Carson lingered for several days and was carried to Charlotte to the home of his brother, where it is said he died several days later. Charles Hairston, the negro who did the shooting, was captured at Whitney soon after the affair, and was held in the county jail to await the result of Carson's wounds. Soon after it was reported that Carson was dead. Hairston was given a prelimi nary hearing before Justice Collins to answer the charge of murder and held for Superior court.

If you cannot get them tied up you might put the-a on in the leaves, as a good innuy of our farmers say they brirg a much money untied as they do tied. - In this particular we are not prepared to say which way they will net you the most, but would say this much, that we do not think there is but a very little difference. Our market will have more buyers on, it this year than usual, and we are ex pecting good sales and a good demand for everything offered on this market. Notice to Teachers.
