made, four years ago, shown a total of
$950,000. The increase in the valua
tion of property in Greensboro alone
amounts to nearly $600,000. These
figures are entirely exclusive of banks

NEGROES BREAK INTO SHOE STORE.
Two Colored Women Bound Over to Court
for Larceny.
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.

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. The
case of principal interest was that of
Thompson-Bonney Company against
the city of High Point. The company
was suing for $1,471 for a dynamo and
other electrical supplies sold to the
citv. The jury returned a verdict in
favor of the plaintiff for $1,248. The
defendant took an appeal to Supreme
court.
The case of Wm. Kelly vs. John
Crews resulted in a verdict in favor of
the plaintiff. The parties in the case
were negroes, and the suit was brought
to recover the purchase price of a parcel
of land.
In the case of Mitchell Rhodes
against the Southern Railway, the
plaintiff was awarded $500 for dam
ages for injuries received while in the
employ of the company. He claims
he was badly scalded by steam from
an exhaust pipe.
The jury in the case of James A.
Hodgin vs. the Southern Railway re
turned a verdict in favor of the defend
ant company. The young man was
suing for $5,000 as damages for injuries
received while crossing the tracks of
the railway at Summit Avenue.
Death of Elihu Mendenhall.
News was received here yesterday of
the death of Mr. Elihu Mendenhall,
one of the county's best citizens, which
occurred at his home in Deep River
township yesterday morning at 3
o'clock. Mr. Mendenhall had reached
the ripe old age of 90 years. For sev
eral days he had been at death's door

J. N. Mendenhall, chairman of the
board of county commissioners of Dav

TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.
Number of Instructors of City and County
Schools are in Attendance.
Nearly one hundred teachers were
present at the opening session of the
teachers' Institute Monday, and since
then the attendance has been much
larger. 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.
The principal feature of the sessions
so far held tihis week, was the plan
suggested by President Charles D.
Mclver, of the State Normal and In
dustrial College, for organizing the
teachers into a band, together with
business and professional men, to do
all in their power to promote education
and banish iili eracy from the county.
This matter will be discussed more
fully at a special meeting to be held
tomorrow. It is hoped to carry for
ward this work of learning all people
in the county to read and write by
means of night schools and Sunday
schools.
Dr. B. C. Gregory, superintendent of
the city schools of Chelsea, Mass.,
arrived yesterday morning and will re
main until Friday. Yesterday he gave
"Lessons in English." Dr. Gregory is
of very pleasing address, and the man
agement of the institute is to be con
gratulated upon securing his services.
Superintendents Swift, of the city
schools, and Foust, of the county
schools, are in charge of the institute
and they are devoting a great deal of
time to the work. 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.

Tobacco Market Report. t
The receipts on our market for the
past week have been the largest for
any week since April and were com
posed mainly nf new primings, which
are selling very high considering the
quality iu" fact, they are the highest
we have seen them since 1892, and we
would advise farmers to put them on
the market as rapidly as possible, for
tney could get lower in the very near
future. 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.
