No Mor Typhoid. City Physician F. C. Hyatt says there hav been no new cases of typhoid fever in the city for a month, and that he does not expect any more this year. Much credit is due his department for han dling the epidemic. When he took up the question seriously, soon after his election to the place, he did some work that uras very effective. This work, while not generally known to the public, should be understood by it, and if fully understood would be appreciated by every citizen." Trial of W, T. Little. W. T. Lit- tTA -ot Jamestown townshfDwWaa. ii Mrs. Wharton was carrying an um brella close over her head during the heavy rain of the morning. She probably never saw the automobile. Rain on the wind shield interfered with Mr. Caldwell's view of the street. Mrs. Wharton is supposed 'tO have stepped from the durb in front of the car. When Mr. Caldwell saw; the woman in front of him he "at tempted both to stop and to tunirito one side, but he was so near Mrs. Wharton that he could not stop 'in time. The wheels of the car skidded on the wet pavement- Mrs, Wharton was knocked down, the front wijeel probably passed over her, and rear wheel was resting on her right leg when the car stopped. The injured woman was removed to her home as quickly as possible. There she was attended by physi sians. In a little while she was car ried to the hospital, where every at tention was given her by a number of surgeons. She was never conscious after the automobile struck her. An Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. R. Murphy Williams, pastor of the CKurch?of the Covenant. Just as the funeral party entered, the church a quartette, composed of Miss Kate Vance Tate, Dr. W. P. Beall, Mrs. Nolan and Fred Phipps, softly sang "la the Hour of Trial." A short scripiu're lesson was read by Rev. Mr, Williams, who then invoked the blessfngs of God on the bereaved family, friends and neighbors. Fol lowing this Dr. Clark paid a beauti ful tribute to the life of Mrs. Whar ton. Just preceding the talk of Dr. Clark Miss Kate Tate,., accompanied by tbe choir, sang ''Some Time We'll Understand." While the choir sang "He Leadeth Me" the casket was car ried slowly from the church and was then 'borne to its last resting place in Greene Hill cemetery. The honorary pall-bearers were: r. W. P. Beall, T. G. McLean, M. G. Newell, E. J, J a vis, W. C. Denny, W. Ey Anderson, O. C Wysong and P, C. Prltchett.

It is supposed that he can be brought back here immediately to stand trial on the embezzlement Charge. Sheriff D. B. Stafford has also wired that Klingman be held and is preparing to bring him back.. The sudden disappearance. of Mr. Klingman from Greensboro last year caused a profound sensation, as he was known, in, business circles all over the state and was prominent so cially. He was-interested in a num ber, of private business enterprises, .besides being manager for the Case Company in this section. After the failure of one of his companies a number of proceedings were begun against him by creditors, and it was shortly after this that the home of fice of the Case Company began an investigaticn into the accounts of this' branch office. Mr. Klingman left Greensboro for parts unknown before the investiga-, physician, while his condition is re ported as not necessarily fatal, still he is considered in a serious condi- tion. The other affair happened about 8.30 o'clock, when an unknown per son fired a load from a shotgun into the body of CJtLarlie Holly, a negro, groceryman on East .Market stiSet. Holly was . in the rear of his store closing up for the night when he was shotT The shot were 'sprinkled free ly over his abdomen .and .thighs. His wounds are not considered serious. SO far the officers have failed to find any clue to the party who did the shooting and the injured ' man has no Idea as to who .it was that at- tempted to taxe nis me in sucn a manner.

Henzie Taylor, a ginger-cake ne gro, in city court Friday for va grancy, pleaded tuberculosis, bullets in his brain, slashes in his leg, blind ness in one eye, monetary assistance from an insurance company and a few other denfenses to the charge of vagrancy. He had a doctor present to testify to his many aiftnents. This colored witness removed a dainty glove, placed one hand over the right eye of the defendant and then with the motion of a hyponotist, he thrust the otherv finger toward the left eye of Henzie. "Blind," said the doctor, as Henzie kepfthe lids open and stared at the approaching digit. x iuiu& una mucibuiuais, oqu the physician. "And he has a cut of his leg and he has a bullet in his brain." Outside of these ailments Henzie appeared to be all right and the judge thought he had shown evi dences of fattening on tubercular germs in the past four years. He sent him to the streets for thirty days and Henzie appealed. The better class of the negro pop ulation in Greensboro has been. stir red during the past few days as a re sult of reports received from Hickory of the arrest of Rev.

McDuffy is. an "evangelist" and has conducted revivals in a num ber of the cities of the state recently, among them Charlotte and Wilming ton. He conducted such services in Greensboro at one time, and plans were being made to have him return here for another series when the news was received of his arrest. It seems likely now that he will not come back. Dal .CttiuFrlSsjr tdr answejr'Tto a number 'of charges that had been recorded against him. The negro made a clean breast of all the charges and listened intently to the sentences that Judge Brqwn handed out to him.

The next charge was for J resiling and entering and . the sentence was two years on the roads. This seem ed a little too lohg for him to' have to work on one stretch, so an appeal was taken and his bond fixed at $500.
