Tucker & Erwin JW SMITH BEHIND THE 'BARS. noted Smitntown Cbaracterto bs Clrcn PrcllmlDary Hearin? In Grccns- bore Saturday. Jim Bmltb, Bmltbtown blockader nd alIeScd murderer, la in the For yth county jail .in Winston-Salem awaiting a preliminary hearing in Greentboro Saturday ou the charge of the murder of Deputy Collector J. W. Hendriz on the night of December ith. 8 in 1th was arrested in Madison Friday afternoon' by Deputy Sheriff H.T. Pratt and brought to Greensboro Saturday morning and delivered into the hands, of United States Marshal Mlllikan. The arrest was made on the strength of ludlctmeots in the United Statea court charging Smith with illicit distilling, and the prisoner came to Greensboro prepared fo give bond in the aum of 15,000, When his bond had been arranged, Smith was immediately arrested on an indictment awora out before United States Commissioner Wolf rhrHnc him with a ennanirapv to kill Deputy Collector Hendnx. He was committed to jail without bond to await hi preliminary hearing. Owing to the fact that two of the prisoner's brothers and several other Bmithtown block ad era are confined in Guilford Jail, it waa deemed advisable to send Smith to Winston-Salem to prevent him from coming ia contact with his brothers and friends from Bmltbtown. Smith has retained ex-Judge W. P. Bynum, Jr., of this city, and Mr. C. O. McMichael, of Madison, as coumel. JJ, ia significant that the reward of 11,000 oil ered by the government for the capture of Smith will not be paid niii me maiiersnau naveoeeu passed on favorably by the Department of Justice. This is taken to mean that there Is a ouspiciou in the minds of the government ofllcera that the capture o Smith was a prearranged affair in or der that the reward money might be divided between the prisoner and others.

Mr. Tyre Glenn, cashier of the Home Savings Bank, whose- name ia men tioned In an artie'e reprinted In this is- sue from the Washington Post, informs the Patriot that he gave out no inter view iu Washington and knew nothing whatever of the story until he read it in the Post. He did not deny the truthfulness of any statement contain ed in the fttory, but was positive in as serting tbat his vim to Washington had nothing to do with politics. I was returning home from a business trip and merely stopped of! in Wash- Inirton on a visit 'rM Mr nipnn "So far as I recall, the only person with whom I talked politics at all was a Democratic congressman, and of course I could not have discussed with him the details of any fight in the Republl can ranks. No. I am not In politics this year and do not expect to take any pan in any ngnt lor or against any faction. I am busy attending to my own private Dusinees anairs ana am coutent to let the other fellows manage the political game. I've had enough of it." Mrs. A. G. Wood Dead. Mrs. A. G.

Deputy Sherlfls John Weatberly and "Bud" Shaw made an important ar rest late Monday afternoon, when they piacea tae heavy hand of the law upon Aiartin j. .Newby, a colored lawyer, who has resided in Greensboro for about a year. Newby was arrested on a warrant sent from Salisbury charg ing him with embezzlement. Before coming to Greensboro, it appears that!

Recently the Patriot has heard complaints from many good citizens of the county over the fact that no pro vision is made for keeping Guilford macadamized roads in repair. ''The rains and freezes have damaged the roads badly, and there is a general de sire on the part of the people living along the improved highways that tbe county officials take immediate steps to repair the damage. The Tabernacle road, one of the best constructed high ways in tbe county, is said to be wash ing badly. Tbe county commissioners will prob ably take some action looking to tbe organization of a force to keep up re pairs on the roads. Mr. Justice a Probable Candidate. Mr. C. H.

Frazler Jones Only Awaited Opportunity - His Religion Didnt "Take." j " Since Frazier Jones, whose death j sentence waa commuted to life impris- tonment, has been 'carried to Raleigh and placed safely within the grim, strong walla bf the state penitentiary, it Is learned that the prisoner had re solved, before leaving Guilford jail, to make a desperate attempt to escape while en route. That he abandoned the idea is due to , the fact that he was sd securely -manacled and bound by Deputy Sheriff John Weatherly, upon J wbond the duty Revolved of conveying the prisoner to the penitentiary. After j reaching the state prison, Frazier con- fessed to Mr. Weatherly tbat he had resolved to make a desperate effort to escape until he found himself bound hard and fst.. v The prisoner was carried away.from Greensboro ou a night train and every precaution of safety was'taken by the officers. A rumor had reached Greena boro to the efisct that a portion of the colored population about Gibsonville was so incensed over the failure of the law to execute Frazier that an- effort mignt b8 made to take the prisoner frnm th frain t th.t ni.n. oh ,otr summary vengeance upon him. Ol I course the officers paid little "attention to the rumor, but nevertheless It was considered wise to be prepared for any- thing that might happen. When Deputy Sheriff Weatherly in formed Frazisr of the rumor, the pris- oner replied 4 to this eflect. "If you'll hasteiveme'o ne of vour we'll I- " kill the first negro that tries to enter the car."
