Arrested After Two Years Henry
Sharpe, a negro wanted in Richmond
for murder and for whom a $50 re
ward is offered,-was arrested Thurs
day night in that part of the cgty
known as "Bull Pen," and will prob
ably be carried back to Virginia in
the next day or two. The crime for
which he is wanted was committed
more than two years ago. Owing to
the good memory of ex-Policeman T.
C. Bray he was recognized. Mr. Bray
did not immediately arrest him, but
returned to the police station and
looked at the picture of Sharpe and
the offer of the $50 reward. Being
thereby reassured, he went back to
the house and found Sharpe still
there. After being arrested, 'Sharpe
admitted that he is the man wanted.
Increased Blockading. Either the
illicit manufacture of whiskey has in
creased since the passage of theGrier
law or the force under Revenue
Agent Chapman has been more dili
gent since that time, for the number
of ''moonshine" plants destroyed
during May and June was consider
ably larger than in previous months.
May was a record-breaker. In June
the field men seized and destroyed
106 illicit distilleries in the Greens
boro division. This does not include
those destroyed by state and county
officers alone. In some cases both
state and federal officers had a hand
in the destruction. Some of the stills
were large ones. At one place 10,
000 gallons and at another place
7,000 gallons of beer were poured
out.

Abandoing for the time their at
tempt to outflank Warsaw from the
south, the Germans have renewed
their attack on tlfe Polish capital
from the north. It is believed that
the Germans are commanded by Gen
eral Von Hinderburg, who is report
ed to have said recently that shortly
he would astonish the world. Not
only have the Germans captured
many prisoners south of Kolno, ac
cording to Berlin, but have also ac
supied Przasnysz, a fortified town
fifty miles north of Warsaw, which
was taken by the Germans last wiD-
ter, but was retaken by the Russians
in a counter offensive.
The Russian official report admits
German progress to some extent.
In France the Argonne region con

Mr. Edward Latham, who went
abroad in the interest of his father's
cotton concern, J. E. Latham' & Co.,
several months ago, has returned to
the city after a visit to practically all
of the warring nations. He says that
the lack of cotton in the German
ports has not been exaggerated in
the slightest. Bremen, where Mr.
Latham was located for some time,
is probably the chief sufferer. This
city was the annual gateway for
2,000:000 bales of cotton, and some
times the imports amounted to near
ly 4,000,000 bales annually. Mr.
Latham thinks that less than 1,000
bales were in this port, although 30
cents a pound is offered.
Among the countries Visited by Mr.
Latham were Norway, Sweden, Den
mark, Holland and Germany. While
in Bremen he made trips out to Aus
tria and Italy. He saw the Teutons
at first hand and the country is far
from being ravaged by war and not
a bit pessimistic as to the outcome.

From Athens comes a report of a

with reserve.
The latest Paris communication
counters the claims of German suc
cess in the Argonne region with the
report that the French have set foot
at several points in the German
trenches on the road to Marie Ther

their attacks beyond the Servon
road, west of the forest of Argonne.
On the eastern front nothing apr

President Woodrow Wilson yester
day brought to a close the longest
and most strenuous vacation he has
had since entering the White House.
He left Cornish, N. H., yesterday af
ternoon and arrived in Washington
early this morning prepared to give
immediate consideration to the Ger
man situation and other problems.
President Wilson brings back with
him to Washington the results of a
careful and detailed study of the last
German note on submarine warfare,
for discussion with Secretary Lan
sing and other members of his cab
inet.
Despite the fact that no details of
the president's return trip were given
out in advance, he was greeted by
large crowds at every stop. At sev
eral places he stepped out on the rear
platform of his private car and shook
hands with as many people as time
permitted.
Virtually all the people of Cornish
and Windsor, Vermont, saw this dis
tinguished summer neighbor off from
the "summer capital." He waved
his hand and took off his hat to the
assembled crowds as they applauded
him.
THREE ARRESTS FOR
RETAILING LAST SATURDAY.
George Howell was before 'Squire
J. B. Minor Saturday on the charge
of retailing. Howell was arrested
Saturday and when arrested had a
suit case full of whiskey in his pos
session. He claimed, however, to
have sold only four pints before the
officers broke up his sales. He was
bound over to the September term
of Superior court and bond was fixed -at
$200. He was unable to raise the
required bond and was committed to
jail.
Shortly after Howell was arrested,
members of the sheriff's office force
found Levi Reeves in the same vicin-
ity, near Arm field's store on the
High Point road, and he was placed
in jail to await a hearing on a charge
of retailing.
In the afternoon there were mqre
rumors of retailing in that immedi"
ate vicinity and Sheriff Stafford -and
two deputies went out and got a man.
