On Sunday last Henry Davis, a
colored ladorer on the farm of Mr
Wm. Woodard, Jr., carne to the con
clusion that to break the Sabbath by
such a small crime as borrowing, a
few goods from a friend was no harm
at all, so he proceeded to the house
of Ed Haskins, a colored mail em
ployed on the i same place, broke a
window light and took -several arti
cles of wearing apparel, etc.,. after
which he skipped for parts unknown
with all his booty." Davis was seen
passing through Wilson Sunday af
ternoon about 4 o'clock and attracted
some attention by having a valise on
his back and some articles ol clothing
in his hand. 1 Hardly any notice was
taken cf it until Haskins came In that
night in search of the thief. At last
accounts Davis had not been: cap
tured. : .
Friday's Game at Spring Hope.
Oh Friday morning our boys pro
cured teams and went over to Spring
Hope to give the boys of that place
a few lessons in the national gam er
and possibly a dose of what we gave
Rocky Mount the week before, they
undoubtedly would, have added an
other victory to our record if the
umpire had been able to tell a ball
f.om a strike and locate the different
bases, but he was either btind or
partially inclined toward the home
team, anyway the Wilson boys re
ceived the worst of it, and in thef fifth
inning with the score standing 5 to 4
in favor of the visitors, the Wilson
Iboys left the diamond and would not
play unless another umpire was pro
cured. This Spring Hope refused to
consent to, so the game was stopped
with Wilson one run in the lead.
While . our boys went up to play
Spring Hope they found men there
from everywhere except that place,
. but that-had no effect on - them as
they went in. to win and would have
done so provided the umpire had
been impartial The, umpire's tale is
an old one for the base ballist to cry,
but we are justified ia" doing so this
time. . ; -

Homicide at Lucauia. . -
On Monday niht last there was
quite an exciting encounter at Luca
ma. j -
It sems that VIr. ' L F Lucas had
received notice from a band j of white
i 1
caps that, his barns would be burned
if a certain fence was not removed
Mr. Lucas gathered a few friends who
concealed themselves near the barn.
About one o'clock the white caps
made their appearance, entered the
barn and set it on fire. When the
party came out of the barn Lucas
and his crowd opened fire upon them
but could not tell whether any of the
shots took effect jor not;
At about the same time shots were
heard from the directi6n of the Lucas
dwelling, and on going there two
men were found, one (R. Watson)
dead and another (P. Moore) badly
wounded. ' " '
At the coroner s inquest which was
heldf on Tuesday, the jury came to
the conclusion that- the two men had
been Retailed toj watch the dwelling
while the main body burned the barn
and that they got separated and com
ing suddenly upon each other fired,
each thinking the other a member of
the Lucas household.
Moore, was placed under arrest
and will be bi ought to Wilson as soon
as his wounds permit his removal.
This is not the first time that white
caps have made their appearance in
the section around Lucama but it
probably will be sometime before anr
other crowd can be gotten together.
Two deaths will in all likelihood act
as a restraining influence. . .
Since writing jbe above Moore
has. been brought to Wilson and put
in safe keeping and will in due time
be dealt with as he deserves.

u . . rt to his fellow citizens.
i . financial ability was equalled
5 f w, but perhaps that part of his
hi vvhich made him most dear to the
people of the community was the
knowledge that within his breast was
a iieai t that eyer beat-in kindly sym
pathy with the troubles of his fellows.
No man, however humble, felt the
least hesitation in laying his troubles
before this man, Who already carried
upon his shoulders a weight that few
might bear, and few there be who,
having solicited his counsel, , can say
that they went out from his presence
unencouraged.
As a trustee, of the graded schools
much of his time and thought was
devoted to its advancement. He
recognized xthat important fact, that
education means growth in the edu
cated and hence in the community.
Being aware of this he saw that the
future of Wilson, to a great extent, j
lay m the education of her children.
He vyas filled with the milk of hu
man kindness and as an employer he
was ever diligent, kind and consider
ate of the interests of all with whom
"1 -
he was associated.
Starting in life with but little,, by
ability and deligence he became a
man of means and at the time of his
death he had risen from a book
keeper to the -presidency ol the bank
of Branch & Co.. '
His life "stands as a landmark to
every young man who desires to ac
C9mplish something for himself and
the betterment of his fellow man.
Unhappily for Wilson "the places
that knew him shall know him no
more, forever? and the whole com
munity mourns with his family and
extends to them a sympathy coming
from the very recesses of the hear'.
