road is worked to David White's line.

TO HANDLE MAIL BY HEW ROUTE.
Rumors That Southern Will Use Only Lo
cal Trains South of Lynchburg.
A report printed In the Charlotte pa-
pers says tnat mall over the
mam line
of the Southern Railway
south of
Lynchburg, Va., will be handled only
on local trains after next Monday. It
is said a new postal route, called the
Washington and Bristol, will go Into
efiect ou that day, when the through
mall formerly handled by the heavy
through trains on the Southern Rail
way to the south and past Greensboro,
Salisbury and Cbarlottte will be chang
ed for the new route, which is from
Washington to Lynchburg over the
Southern; from Lynchburg to Bristol
over the N6ifolk A Western to Chatta
nooga over the Southern again, and
from there southward, perbapa, over
the Queen & Crescent route to New
Orleans.
This means that all the mall for Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana , and
Texas and Arkansas that has formerly
beeu handled this way on trains 37 and
43 will be diverted to the new line,
taking or! some of the mail cars, they
going over the new line too.
If the rumor be true, it means that
Greensboro and the other towns in this
section will be served with local mail
service, resulting in much delay, con
fusion and actual loss.
Buslncss Outlook in Greensboro Encour-
aging.
Interviews with representative busi
ness men of this city indicate that bus
iness conditions in Greensboro are sat
isfactory, with no ill effects resulting
from the recent panic. Money is rea
sonably plentiful and easy, as is dem
onstrated by the fact that the banka
are taking care of their customers as
formerly. Several merchants say their
January business was greater in vol
ume than for the corresponding month
last year and others say there has been
no decrease in their lines.
On the whole, the outlook is encour
aging, with the indications that 1903
will be a prosperous year for Greens
boro and its business Interests.

WAITIITG JIM SMITH'S CAPTURE.
Determined Menlon Trail of rTotorloui
Cnajacter No Blockading in .
- ! ' Smlthtown.
The' government ofHcIala here
are
I awaiting anxiously news of the capture
or the notorious Jim Smith.-wanted
fur the murder of Revenue Ofllcer Hen
dricks, in the Bmithtown section of
I Stokes couHty.' No one doubts that
the reward of $1,060 offered by the De
partment of Justice will ultimately-re-
Bultm the capture of Smith; . Two or
three determined men are on bis trail,
and one of these days will get the drop
on tne 'desperate character. JJesDite
rumors to the contrary, it is believed
that Smith. has never Jeft his imme
diite neighbor hood rfor he Is safer there
than he would be anywhere else.
An unconfirmed rumor has reached
Greensboro to the efieCt that Smith is
I ... ...
preparing to either surrender to the
officers or permit some friend to take
him for the sake Of the reward.
The population of Bmithtown has
been decreased by the arrest of 18 illicit
distillers, and of this number eight are
serving terms in the Federal prision at
Atlanta and ten are confined in the
county jail awaiting trial at the April
term of United States District court in
this city. A revenue officer says that,
for the first time in many years, there
is no i blockading going on'in Smith
town at the present. The capture of
so many of the distillers and the action
of the Department of Justice in .in
structing the district attorney to libel
the lands. of all suspected parties has
given the Smlthtown people the first
real fright they have ever .experienced.

Frazler Jones Must Hang Saturday
Frazier Jones, colored, who murdered
hie wife at Gibsonville on Thankegiv
Ing day, 190G, must pay the penalty of
his crime with his life Saturday, Gov
ernor Glenn having refused te interfere
further with the execution of the sent
ence. It will be recalled that he was
renrieved about six weeks ago, since
which time an effort has been made to
hflVA the sentence commuted to life
imprisonment. When informed that
there was uo further hope and that he
must die Saturday, the prisoner,dis-
pUyed no special emotion further than
expressing regret that his sentence had
not been commuted to life imprison
ment.
Sheriff Jones will conduct the execu

of bis deputies. He will use the rope
that was used in the execution of Frank

COUflTY SCHOOL MATTERS.
To Increase Special Tax Rate Jn South
Buffalo--lhree Hew Buildings.
. The monthly meeting of the county
board of education was held Saturday
in the office 6f Prof. Thomas R. Foust,
secretaryto Jhe board-and county "su
perintendent. Ail the members of the
board .were present as follows; Prof.
W. T. Whltsett. of Whitsett, chair
f
man; Mr. pharies H. Ireland, of this
city, and Mr. J. C. Kennett, of Pleas
ant Garden. .v"p':'vr
A delegation1 from the South Buffalo
district appeared before the board with
arpetition asking that the school' build
lag be removed from its present loca
tion to a point on the north ede of the
creek, not far frqm the corporate limits
of Greensboro. The proposition was
opposed by another delegation with a'
coua ter . petition. The two petitions,
both am regarded the Bumber of; signa
tures and the school children repre
sented, j Indicated that sentiment is
pretty evenly divided on the matter. x
At the sehool building is iiow in the
center of the district,' the board decided
that it could not entertain a proposi
tion looking to its removal. As a. re
sult iof this decision, the people of the
district have inaugurated a movement
for an election. to increase the special
tax rate from 20 to 30 cents in order to
provide sufficient funds to maintain
the present schoel and also have a
school for primary and lower interme
diate work at some point between the
creek and the city limits of Greensboro.
Prof. Foust has prepared the petitfon
and doubtless the election will be or
dered In the near future.
Mr. C. G. Dorsett was appointed a
school committeeman for South Buf
falo district to succeed Mr. G. L. An
thony, deceased.. '
The board received . reports of the
completion of new buildings for the
following schools: Coble school, white,
in Clay township; Jackson school, col
ored, in Madison, and a colored school
in Greene. An appropriation covering'
half the cost of the, buildings was
made. " "
Possibility of Another Monument at the
! f Guilford Battle Grouad. - i v
Hon. H.' A. duPont, one of Dela
ware's multi-millionaire representa
tives in the United States senate, has
written Maj. "Joseph M. Morehead,
president of the Guilford Battle Ground
Association, a letter inquiringif a mon-
ument has been erected to the memory
of the' Delaware soldiers who partici- at the home of the bride's parents, Mr.
patedinthe battle of Guilford Courf and Mrs. A. A. Teague, in Liberty, and
House. Maj. Morehead, who never was performed by Rev. W. L. Grissom,
permits interest to lag in matters con- of this city. Immediately after their
nected with Guilford Battle Ground, marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Crutchfield
will inform Senator duPont that this
battlefield of the- decisive struggle of
the revolutionary war is unadorned by
any shaft to perpetuate the memory of
the Delaware troops who assisted Gen
eral Greene iu bringing about the be
ginning of the end ofthe war for Amer
ican independence. The letter to the
Delaware senator will also convey the
information that there are several pret-
tv sites for such a monument "and ex-
v " v. 4. D i
press the hope that its erection may be
brought about..
Failure of Judicial District Bill.
Among the local lawyers and many
other people much regret is expressed
over the, failure of the special ses
sion of the legislature, to create a
iudiciai district of Guilford county.
The need of more courts m uuii
ford ; is pressing, and the people
interested in the matter believe the
most effective remedy is to be found in
making this county a separate judicial
district. The proposed measure naa
the united and enthusiastic support of
the Guilford bar and doubtless would
have been enacted into law but for the
fact that similar measures came up
from several other counties. Doubtless
the bill will come up again at the next
session of the legislatuie.
So congested U the civil docket of
the Superior court of Guilford that an
action ' instituted at the present time
would have slight chance of coming
up for trial for two years, or more.
