York ers Lost A Pa! Their Companion Rode With a Stranger and Disappeared—They Suspected Foui Piay and Appeaied to the Poiice—"Ait's Weli That You would scarcely expect a New Yorker with a pocket fait of money to accept the invitation of a strang er in a strange country to forsake his pais and ride with him, but that is what happened the otheT day near Wilmington, and thereby the for saken pais suffered some uneasy quarters of an hour which led to their appeaiing to Policeman Ed Giover in Lumberton and Jater writ ing him a letter of thanks for his ready assistance. It happened on this wise: When three men from New York, traveling in' an automobile, a few days ago left Wrightsyille Beach, where they spent some time, they {were hailed shortly after crossing } the ferry at Wilmington by a lone I stranger in a Franklin car. The { stranger asked where they were i going and upon being told they were j bound north, via Raieigh, hg said he was going the same way and would be giad to have the company of one of them to relieve the. loneliness of his journey. Ong of the trio readily accepted the invitation and the journey was resumed. Some time la ter the other two New Yorkers miss ed the other .car and began to get uneasy about their pal, who, they knew, had some $200 or $300 in his pockets. By the time they reached Lumberton the men werg so uneasy, suspecting foul play, that they de cided to take the matter up with Policeman Glover, who telephoned to Raleigh in an effort to help lo cate their friend. Mr Glover says the men appeared to bg prosperous and of a class not easily to be taken in, and he was astonished that the com panion of such men on a long trip, far from headquarters, should so readily have accompanied a stranger. The men left here in doubt and anx iety, but the following letter, receiv ed by Mr. Glover Tuesday, indicates that all ended well: Raleigh Hall A Residence for Men One Hundred Six West Forty-Seven "Mr. Glover, "Lumberton, N. C. "Dear Sir: "I am taking this opportunity to again express my thaitks for the trouble you took in telephoning to Raleigh upon my behalf 'while en deavoring to locate my friend Mr. Armstrong. "I located Mr. Armstrong at the Bland hotel in Raleigh. He awaited me at Fayetteville but Upon com parison to time, left therg just five minutes before my arrival. "Had the chief of police at Ral eigh done as you requested and sent an officer to the Bland, he would have been able to report his pres ence.

A white man who gave his name as Frank Hinson was arrested here Tuesday about noon by Police man Vance McGill when the officer dis covered that he was peddling knives, pistols and rifies withopt proper li cense. The officer also acted on sus picion that the man was possibly disposing of goods stolen Friday night from a hardware concern in Hamlet. Chief of Police D. M. Barker was at the postoffice at the time of the arrest and had just opened a letter from the Hamlet police department which enclosed a list of the goods missed after the robbery. He start ed back to the police station and found OiHcer McGill with Hinson and Hinson's wife. McGill told him of his theory and they went to the house where the Hinsons had spent the night and found a trunk containing a iot of'k"?ves, pistols and rifles which answered the description of those on the circular. An automo bile in which Hinson came to Lumber ton was taken into custody and held for further investigation, the officers believing it to have been stolen also. The police at Hamlet were tele phoned and were here in a few hours, identified the stolen goods and after thanking the local officers for their } good work returned with their pris oner and his wife to Hamlet.

MASKED GANG OF MEN WARNS FAIR BLUFF NEGRO MERCHANT Charlie Hagans Moves His Plack of Business from Main Street as Re sult of Warning. Fair Bluff, Aug. 21.—The latest ac tivitles in this section by a masked gang occurred at Fair Biuff Satur day night at 9:00 o'clock, when auto mobiles containing a dozen or more hooded and robed men drove to the store conducted on the lAain street of the Columbus county town by Char lie Hagans, negro, seized the dusky proprietor, carried him to the town limits and there gave him notice that he woud be expected to move his place of business to some other part of Fair Bluff. Hagans is moving his place of bus iness, which the citizens of Fair Bluff have for some time claimed to be very obnoxious because it was the only store operated by a negro in the business district of that town, ai^i was a veritable loafing place for roustabouts. G. L. Bailey, of Fair Bluff, said that there was no attempt on the part of the hooded men to hurt Hagans, and that the negro was not harmed, but only given a warning to move hia store, was proven by the visit by the negro to a physician immediately af ter the Saturday night affair. The physician informed Hagans that' he was not hurt, but badly scared. This is said to have beed the ini tial appearance of any hooded and robed hand in Fair Bluff, and it is further said that when they appear^! in front of the negro's place of busi ness everyone, both black and white, disappeared from the street. Mr. Bailey said this morning that all has been quiet in Fair Bluff since the affair. Hagans not being hurt, lo cal or county officers have taken no steps in the matter, and probably will not. , Miss Iva Pearson of Dunn is the guest of Miss Lina Gough, on Chest nut street. ) St. Paid News Busina HooaMM C!oaa Tharsday Af j temoon. — Endcavorcrs Enjoy a Picnic—Circ!* Me^ting^ —Persona! } MaaHva.

A few scattered clouds were around but soon took their flight, leaving the merry "fun makers" unmolested to enjoy their sport. The crowd was under the splendid chaperonage of Mrs. E. C.

Tracks Ordered Purchased ter Row land, Orrum and Flora! College Schools—Colored School Supervi sion Work Ordered Resumed and White Supervisor Also Will be Bar ployed—Walter D.

The trucks have a seating capacity of approximately 40. The one assigned to Rowland will transport the students from Alfords ville township district, which waa re centy consolidated with Rowland. The truck used by Orrum will transport the students that have heretofore been going to Mt. Elim, the consolida-J tion being made a recent special elec- ^ tion for that district. The tax rate of the Floral College district and Wakul la were the same, and it was not nec essary to call a special election for consolidation, so this was done at the meeting and a truck assigned to the Floral College school. The colored school supervision work, which was voted discontinued at the July meeting, was ordered re sumed and it was also ordered that a white supervisor of schools be em ployed as early as possible.
