Policeman Has LlveU Fight With Negre.
Policeman Hobbs had an exciting
encounter with an unknown negro on
North Greene street, about 3 o'clock
yesterday morning. While patrolling
his beat, the officer observed the negro
approaching with a heavy burden,
which was hastily deposited in the
ehade of a telephone pole at sight of
the blue-coat. When the officer at
tempted to place the negro under ar
reat, there was a fight that lasted all
the way from Greene up Clay to North
Elm street, where the negro succeeded
in making his escape. An investiga
tion showed that the negro was carry
ing five ten-pound caddies of plug to
bacco and three boxes of cigars.
During the night the wholesale gro
cery store of Elmore, Maxwell & Co.
was broken open and a quantity of to
bacco and cigars stolen. It is evident
that the negro who gave Officer Hobba
such a lively time was the thiaf. v

was a much larger list of delinquents

many having settled their taxes before

Solicitor Brooks Achieves Great Victory
In Three Counties. -
The Alamance county Democratic
convention was held Saturday, and in
Durham and Person counties the pre
cinct primaries were held, the latter
county holding its convention.' Mon
day. These are the first three counties
in the Fifth district to give an expres
sion as ta Congressman Kitchin's suc
cessor, and the result shows that the
strength of Solicitor Brooks is greatly
in excess of the combined strength , of
all the other candidates for the nomi
nation. The three counties mentioned
have a total of 91 votes in the district
convention, and of this number Solic
itor Brooks receives a fraction over 74
votes, or more than 81 per cent, of the
total. Prof. J. Allen Hoi t receives a
fraction over six votes in Durham and
Alamance. He does not get even a
fraction of a vote from Person. -
In the Durham primaries 1,733 votes
were cast for congressman as follows:
Brooks, 1,171; Holt,; 270; Royster, .223;
Buxton, 69. The county convention
will be held Saturday, when the votes
will be apportioned among the candi
dates In accordance with the strength
developed by each in the primaries.
Alamance has 38 votes in the district
convention, and in the county conven
tion they were divided as follows:
Brooks, 35 and a fraction; Holt, one
and a fraction; Royster and Reid, one
each.
Thev Person convention was held
Monday, when the county's 19 votes
were divided as follows: Brooks, 15$;
Royster, 3 . No other candidate was
voted for. f
In each .of the counties Solicitor
Brooks received a larger vote than he
had expected to receive. Naturally the
result is highly gratifying to him and
his friends. With the strength he has
in the other counties in the district, it
is apparent that it will be impossible
to defeat his nomination. It is freely
predicted that, when the district con
vention meets in Greensboro on June
10th, Mr. Brooks will be nominated on
the first ballot.
