Revenue OfTicer Hendrix Was Killed Brought Here Saturday and Committed far Pre liminary Hearlng--Prisoner Says; Jim Smith Killed" Hcndnx and Is Row Dcfj Ing Arrest. : To wering high ab lye the heads of the" officers who escorted him, Oscar Siek, one -of the denizens of the famous 'Smithtown" settlement of , Stokes county, and near whose home Bevenue Officer j: W. Heodrix was instantly killed a few days previous, marched unconcernedly to jail here Saturday af ternoon after having been committed by u S. Commissioner Wolfelindera $10,000 bond to answer next Monday at a preliminary hearing to the charge of illicit j!stlIllog.v " -. Sisk t one of the three men for whom the government offered large re wards immediately after Officer Hen drix was slain.. He was turned over to the sheriff of Stokes county, Mr. R J. Petree, last Friday by two men named Nelson; one of whom is his brother hi law, and after remaininjjf under guaid that night was brought here Saturday by Sheriff Petree. In appearance Sik more than fulfilled the romantic ex pectations of the throng that stood about the streets and j. II as he was led to the Iron-bound confines. . He Is con siderably over six feet in , height, and weighs over two hundred pounds. 'His florid complexion, clear bluefeyes and coal black hair give setting to a harsh facial expression that he evidently did not possess in bia youth. . The prisoner seemed surprised when told be. was held on a charge of illicit distilling. He apparently shared the expectation that he would be charged with the murder of Officer Heudrix, but as yet no warrant for this offense has been issued. Later in the day he talked freely with newspapermen who visited his ceil, asserting that he had nothing to d3 with the killiug of Hen drlx.V; He sad the officer was shot by a man namfd Jim Smith who bad coma ... his (disk's) home to inform him; lb fct the officers were near7 Sisk cijim- a- ab readily prove that he was away from home at the time, he says bis wife saw Smith and the o cer meet a short distance from he doorway and saw the latter fall aftei an exchange of shots, both being heav ily armed. Sisk stated that Smith re turned to his home that night and urg ed his wife to swear, in ease he was ap prehended, that he ran when the reve nue officer appeared, . but tnat Mrs. Ssk declined to make any such prom ise. Smith, he says, is a desperate character, and is going about Smith- town right now declaring - that he will never be taken alive. He is one of the men for whom a reward of $1,000 was offered, and he goes armed allthe time. Sisk says he could have gotteQ away bad be been so disposed, but be pre ferred to stay and prove bis Innocence of any charge more serious than block ading. He say s, he rarely- carries a weapo of any klndv and bad never been in trouble before, except for -distilling. . He fears for the safety of his wife and children and has written them to come to Greensboro. . . Of course the- revenue officers have not given their version of the affair but it will probably, develop that there are some inaccuracies in Sisk's story. ANOTHER WHOLESALE HOUSE. Strong Concern Organized to Deal In Hats, Umbrellas and Gloves rat Greensboro. . : i Secretary Kuykendall, of the Cham ber of Commerce, gave out a gratifying piece of news Friday evening. He an nounced the formation of a strong com pany that will deal in hats, .umbrellas and gloves at wholesale- in Greensboro, the organization really being-a""culmi- nation of his efforts to get together sevf eral good business men of other sec tions who for some time had looked with favor on this city. The corpora tion will have an authorized capital stock of $100,000, of which $14,000 had been subscribed before the matter was made public, and it hopes to begin bus iness by the first of next month, mak ing temporary headquarters on South Davie street, in the wholesale district, where there Is a building available suited to the company's present needs. Among the incorporators are Messrs. W. M. Transou, of Jefferson; C. Oc Murphy, of AtKinson; B. E. Hill, of Greensboro, and W. E. Bishop, or Pe tersburg, Va. The papers were sent to Baleigh the first of the week, and all minor details of the business will prob ably be disposed of before the week CHUB.- .UfBCUBUUlU OUWiu. a v v. to. location ror jus ucu u '"-''IslviNas Bank this weekend if it is and It will undoubtedly succeed in the8 Ia as ifc wlll begiQ to draw in- hands of such splendid men as are in- terested; THE CHRISTMAS LEBRATION. . Observance . of a Sacred Anniversary Marred by tbe Thoughtlessness of Merrymakers Wno Lacked Regard for . Life or Property. Many Greensboro people, happily only a small proportion of our popula tlon, however, are woefully lacking in a proper conception of a tru4hrist mas celebration . There was anything but "Peace on Earth' here last Tues day night, as pandemonium held sway for several " hours, and it is almost a miracle that greater havoc was not wrought. The privilege customarily extended by the city authorities were shamefully abused this yearyand as a result: innocent pleasures have-since been curtailed along with those that might lead to serious barm.. - Without waiting for the hours in which there is annually a suspension of the ordinance relating to bai ml ess Christmas fire works the racket began before nightfall andcontinued until everyone of the eelebran ts had spent all their - money for firecrackers "or cannoncrackers or the stocks of merchants had' been de pleted. Torpedoes, guns, pistols and undoubtedly dynamite figured as din producers with terrifying results! By seven o'clock, holiday shoppers were driven from the streets and business almost came to a standstill, some mer chants estimating their losses in trade at as much as ; two hundred dollars. Two or three large plate glass windows in business houses were broken, several accidents were reported, fights, were precipitated', awnings were torn down or set on fire and there was the devil to fay generally. Mrs. J. A. Odell,' who with others was standing near the front of the Odell Hardware Company's retail' store narrowly escaped injury from aanllet fired through the window from across the street. Paul Bawlings, the five-year-bid son of j Mr. W. , H. Bawlings, suffered a terrible wound in tbe face and may possibly lose the sight of one eye through the reckless ness of some, one who threw a lighted cannon cracker or dynamite on the side walkr where the .boy was walking w-ith an older brother, who was also knocked down? . But there Is a brighter side. The strenuous night ushered in a period' of pure and peaceful enjoyment which has not yet come to a close. Churches, societies and other organizations had provided a wealth of diversions for the holidays, and not a night has passed during the joyous season that there were not from one "to half a dozen en tertainments of one sort or another V musical, literary or. social. Numerous family gatherings have added no little to the joys of the week, and it will long be remembered for its 4 privileges and its pleasures. New Year's Resolutions. It is a season when many of us make new resolutions and attempt to start life anew, which is a good -thing in many respeots; but resolutions made io4 a general way and not carried out are rather poor things, forevery failure a person makes weakens bis ability to succeed in everything else; therefore we should all be careful in making res olutions, for the good intention resolu tion is the kind that is said to pave the way to hell." For example the resolution to live a better fife is hot near so beneficial to a person as a reso lution to read a passage of Scripture ey- erv dav durincr - the coming year. If w v w you will read a passage of Scripture the natural result is that you will become a better man. If a man resolves to save more money in the future than he has done in the past, it is not so valuable a resolution as a resolution to start a sav ings bank account j with . a specific amount, and adding not less than a certain amount every week, and as much more as possible. In talking with an intimate friend during the Christmas holidays who is well fixed in this world's goods, he said that for the first money he saved 'he made a nice little wooden box with a slot in it, nailed it up thoroughly and 'began on the new year to put money in it with the determination not to put less than fifty cents a week in thi3 box, and as much more as he could. He opened it the next Christmas and found that he had a litte more than $100 which be bad saved in this way and said that never he had been without' money since. " ' ' The Home Savings Bank has a lit tle safe which you can carry in your Docket and drop every penny in it for safe keeping. As fast aayou fill it you $an bring it to this bank, and we will open it and place (he contents to your credit, where it begins to compound quarterly at 4 per cent, interest.
