Blind Tiger Kills Mayor. 1
We published in last week's
Watchman an account of this
but did not then know the cause
of the shooting. The following
gives the reason, etc:
Because he tried to enforce the
law against the sale of whiskey,
Mayor H. Z. Newberry, of New
port, N. C, is in his grave. Sat
urday night just as he waB enter
ing the door of his home an assas
sin fired on him and he dropped
dead in the threshold of the house.
By his side stood his little daugh
ter. Within the home was his
wife, desperately ill. The shoot
ing caused great excitement in
Newport .
That this the outcome of a cru
sade against blind tigers appears
plain. Recently the mayor had
been actively engaged in enforcing
the prohibition law. Several per
sons had been indicted at the in
stigation of the mayor and four
of them, including S . J. and B.
F. Sanders, were bound over to
court at Beaufcrt this week. It
is stated that threats were made
at the time against the mayor's
life and his assassination fastened
suspicion on the Sanders. S. J.
Sanders was arrested and jailed
without bond and B. F. Sanders,
his brother, is held as an acces
sory. Judge Guion has ordered a
special venire of 200 men to get a
jury and the case is set for Fri
day.

Debt Paying.
The-farmers seem to
seem to by verv
weir satisfied with thirtoen-ccnt
cottonL. Some folding will be
done, but this will be by those
who have no debts to pay. It is
to the credit of the farmers of this
section, that their first thought
is to meet their obligations and
it is a happy circumstance that
they have had to make no sacri
fice, for the prices have been high
and encouraging to- debt paying,
making that operation, in fact, a
pleasure, instead of a disagreble
duty. When the farmer dis
charges his obligations his money
flows out into every trade channel
discharging other obligations and
adding to the prosperity of the
community. It is an entirely
reciprocal operation. On the
whole, the farmer this year finds
himself in happy circumstances
and is proving more than ever an
important factor in the general
prosperity of the country. Char

The Big Power Plant at Whitney to be Sold
An Asheville special says:
In the United States circuit
court today Judge Pritchard
considered a number of pha
ses of the receivership matter
of the Whitney Company, the
$10,000,000 power company
near Salisbury, which on
February 3, 1908, upon the
complaint of A O Brown &
Co., of New 1 ork, was placed
in the hands of John S Hen
derson and Charles W Smith
as receivers.
n the suit of the Bankers'
Trust Company ot New York,
against the Whitney and its
subsidiray companies, which
was filed yesterday to fore
close tne s$5,uuu,uuu Dona is

Judge Pritchard today named

pany, preparatory to a decree
of sale. He set the first Mon
day in December as the date
for the Whitney Company to
answer the suit before him
The bill alleges that default
has been made in payment of
interest on bonds due May 1
and November 1, 1908, and
May 1, 1909. amounting to
approximately $400,000.
In the matter of the appea
of the Bankers' Trust Compa
ny from the report of Special
Master A H Price in the suit
of T A Gillespie Company
against the Whitney Compa
ny, and John S Henderson
and Charles W Smith, its re
ceivers, foi lien on the prop
erty for work done in con
structing the dam on the
Yadkin river, the receivers
today openly refused to join
the Bankers' Truet Company
in prosecuting the appeal in
the United States circuit
court of appeals, the receivers
taking the position that the
special master had found, and
the court sustained the re
port, which awarded about
8300,000 to the company for
work done This means that
the Bankers' Trust Company,
which tried to draw the re
ceivers into the appeal will
have to fight it out alone in
the appellate court. The re
ceivers stated that they did
not conscientiously believe
that they should appeal and
wouia tnus save expenses;
that although they had ex
ceptions which they had
pressed before the circuit
court, they would not further
press them.
Judge Pritchard made an
order that the supercedeas
bond in this appeal be fixed
at $5,000; also provided a ba
sis for distribution of the
funds from the sale, as well
providing for a separate sale
of that property upon which
T A Gillespie Company had
a hen. Another agreement
was that the receivers should
lease the Rowan Granite
Company, a subsidiary com
pany to the Whitney Compa
ny, to W II Miller for $350
per mouth and royalty on
each car shipped. This lease
is more advantageous than to
Esson Granite Company, now
m hands of receiver, said
lease to terminate with sale
of property.
Another order allowed the
receivers. to issue $21,000 in
receiving certificates to be
paid off in two years time, or
thirty days' notice and pro
vided for the payment of
$5,000 each to Receivers Hen
derson and Smith, who have
servei foi 21 months; and
$2,000 each to Special Master
A H Price, William A Way
of Pittsburg, Thomas Patter
son. of New York, Thomas J
Jerome and Burton Craig, of
Salisbury; and $1,000 to
Moore & Rollins, Asheville,
for services as counsel for re
ceivers. In order to facilitate
the sale of the property all
pending actions were consoli
dated by agreement and will
be handled by Special Master
Price. The property wili
probably be sold within three
months.
