By W. H. M. Brown.
Fairmont, Sept. 17—A. Faircioth,
chief of police of Fairmont, accom
panied by H. A. Long, night police
man, and two Indian women who live
near Fairmont, left all of a sudden a
few nights ago for parts unknown,
driving a new Ford sedan.
According to reports the chief was
seen leaving Fairmont in a drunken
condition, and it was soda learned
that the two women and the night
policeman had "accompanied him. Mr.
H. G. Mitchell, mayor, stated tha$, alt
though he had not had the tMSjsto
check up on the officer, hs was of the
opinion that he was in debt to the
town. Unofficial reports place the
delinquincy at )100, money collected
by the officer for town taxes.
It is also reported that Long was
seen here a few days ago, and that he
brought the ear back to the Webster
Motor Co., from which it Was bought
by the officer a few months ago, on
the partial payment plan. No arrests
have been made and it could not be
learned if any warrants had been is
sued for either of the officers.
Mr. Faircioth. had been chief of po
lice for the past 6 months, while Mr. j
Long had not been acting as night

TEACHERAGE ENLARGED AND !
VERY MUCH IMPROVED
Four Bedrooms, Two Botha, Kitchen,
Pantry and Screened In Porch Add
ed and Dining ^Room Enlarged—
Other Improvements Made.
When teachers who put up with
cramped quarters and inconveniences
at the teacherage on Eight street ar
rived laat Thursday night and saw
what improvements and additions had
been made in their living quarters}
they shouted for joy and rose up as
one woman and called down blessings
upon the heads of the school board
and Crumpton. And they had
reasomHg the joy that was in them.
Duriit^the summer an addition
was built on that almost doubled the
capacity and more than doubled the
conveniences. This addition includes
four bedrooms—three on the second
floor—two bathrooms, a larger kit
chen, pantry, screened-in porch, and
11 feet added to the length of the
dining room. Besides this ,al! the
rooms have been freshly ealsimined
and Mesdames AH. H. McLeod and H.
T. Pope of the school board have taken
pleasure in fixing attractive curtains.
The teacherage now has nine bed
rooms and three baths and can house
16' teachers more comfortably than
it provided for the 13 who crowded
its 6 bedrooms last year.
Each teacher provides her own
wood and formerly they had to make
out any old way by sticking their
wood under the house. Supt. Crump
ton made provision agaaist this in
convenience by having a wood-shed
built with a stall for each teacher's
wood. One teacher, writing enthusias
tically home to her mother about the
improvements, wrote , that Prof.
Crumpton had thought of everything,
he had even "had * stall built for each
teacher."

French of Lumberton and was 38
years old, having been bom Dec. 23,
1885. He had bebn in poor health for
two years and had spent most of th§^
time away from Lumberton, the
few months Tmving been . spent at
Black Mountain, where the end came
at 4 a. m. Friday. His only sister,
Mrs. Ira B. Townsend of Lumberton,
had been with him for the past two
months.

Deceased was in business in Lu*'i
berton since early manhood, for the
past several years being at the head
of the John F. French Co., wholesale

ioved men that ever lived in Lumber
ton, literally numbering his friends
by his acquaintances and being ador
ed by a large nunfber of peoolo who.
had been quietly helped ^v him
when they were in need. When any
one needed help in the community,!
somehow John French was the first
to find it out and to go to their re-'
tief, never saying a word about it. ,
Besides his sister, deceased is sur
vived by one brother, Mr. D. D.
French.

COLORED TRFO ARRESTED AS
RESULT OF WRECK ON ELM ST.
Ford Broken
Front Wheel of
Cnr Strnck
Fire Juice Found*in the Cnr.
A Ford touring ear was badly da
maged, a pint of whiakey waa cap
tured, and Dave McArthur, Maggie
Burney and Annie Erwin, all colored,
were arreated yeaterday afternoon aa
thg result of a wreck caused by reck
less driving on Elm street near the
court house.
The accident occured at the inter
section of Fifth and Elm streets
when the Ford, driven by Dave Mc
Arthur, struck another car with only
slight fotce and then struck the lamp
post on the comer next t6 the First
National bank. A front , wheel was
broken, only a few spokes remaining
intact,
It is thought by those who saw the
wreck that the striking of the ear
against the other ear caused the rim
of the wheel to become loose and fall
off, throwing the ear out of control
of the driver. Aa soon aa McArthud]
saw what had happened he waa seen
in the act of picking up a bottle con
taining what proved to be a pint of
whiskey. He saw that hWbould not con
ceal it without being noticed and plac
ed it back down behind the seat.
The colored trio are awaiting trial
