r. 2 r THE RALEIGH TIMES, MONDAY, ATJGtJST 19, 1912. A SHOOTING : AT DILI Negro Shot Mystcricdy Claims to Have Shot Bimself (Special to The Times.) Durham, Aug. 19. The mystery surrounding the - shooting in the Fitzgerald building Saturday morn ing in which Dick Stroud, colored, received a pistol ball, has been of ficially temporarily solved, that is, the suspect has been released and the police are accepting the story that Stroud shot himself, but that Is not saying that they believe it. Ellis Hargrove, a negro barber who has had some experience as a gun man, says that about1 five o'clock Saturday morning Stroud came to his room and saying that the police were after him proceeded to shoot himself. After inflicting the wound in. his leg, he fell to the floor. Har grove says that he went out to look for Stroud's brother to Inform him of the affair, but forgot to notify the police. Nearly three hours later an unknown person called up the police station and reported that a negro had been shot in the Fitzger ald building. When two officers ar rived they found Stroud in the hall in front of Hargrove's room, but Hargrove was gone. He was sent for and came in later, relating the account of the shooting given above. His statement had several conflict ing points, particularly as to how Stroud got out of the room, and he was locked up pending an investiga tion. Stroud at first said that "a man in the room" did the shooting and promised to tell all about it when he recovered from the opera tion which was necessary to extract the bullet. When he began to re cover from the effects of the anaesthetic, he refused to say any thing whatever, but Saturday night he said that he was half crazy from the use of "dope" and had shot him self. Sunday morning he repeated the same story. While the police think that there is a whole lot con nected with the . affair that has not been brought out, still they did not consider that the evidence was suffi cient to hold Hargrove longer, and he was released Sunday. The in jured negro is not in a serious con dition, and should be able to get out in a short while. The little 3-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. I, Lanier who was seriously shot by accident Friday, is getting along as well as could be expected, with a probability of re There is a Difference in Price, A Better Grade of Furniture at the Same nice.

The little girl and a six-year-old boy, a relative of the Laniers, .were playing In a room of the Lanier home, when the boy saw a pistol hanging on the wall. In an effort to Yet the pistol down he let it fall. The weapon was discharged and the ball plowed its way through the cheek and,, neck of the little girl, finding lodgment in the lung. : The Durham Bull Moosers will is sue a call for a county convention this week for the purpose of cutting out a full ticket. The indications are that there will be only two tickets in Durham this year, demo crat and progressive, as the repub licans will hardly put out a ticket. In fact,. It said that there are not enough republicans in the county to put out a full ticket. Today's recorder's court was heavy as usual on Monday, there being a score of cases on the docket, though none of them are of a serious nature, being the usual run of crap-shooters, blind tigers, drunks, petit larceny, etc. Two good raids were made Sunday, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon, on gamblers, resulting in the arrest of quite a number of the wooers of Dany Fortune. PITTSBORO NEWS Historic Mallet Presented to Muj. London Other News. (Special to The Times.) Pittsboro, Aug; 19. Through Ma, H. A. London, the North Caro lina Btate confederate veteran , as sociation has received from Con gressman John M. Falson a very historic mallet. The handle of the mallet was made from a piece of pine taken from, the flooring of the home of Geo. Robert E. Lee, oi Arlington, Va. This flooring of this old mansion was laid in 1802. The mallet is made of cedar. It was re ceived too late to be used in the sessions of the association which were held recently at Winston. Great preparations are being made for the big dinner to be given to the old soldiers here next Friday. Hon". J. Bryan Grimes is to deliver an address on the occasion. The Raleigh drum corps will also be here. Mr. Charles Home and others, of Clayton, who recently bought the oil mill plant here, have several men at work in the mill remodeling and tearing up things in general. A big fertilizer plant is to be added to the oil mill. It was reported that the new mill Company was to do some wonderful things here in connection with the plant; a new office was to be built, a grocery store was to be put up and a new bank . was to be also started to handle their business, besides other foolish reports. It makes a Pitts boro merchant have cold streaks run up and down his back when he hears of a new store being started here. One of them actually said they ought not be allowed to put up a store, that there was not enough A substantial portion of our Furniture is manufac tured in our Goldsboro factory.

Kay, or the paymaster's department, who has twice faced serious charges were again sired when Secretary of War Stimson went before a house investigating committee to give evidence. Mr. Buckley waived to know what ac tion, if any, Mr. Stmison had taken against Major Ray. "I am waiting lor your recommendations, gentle ment," said the secretary of war- no you want our committee to uive you instructions on how to keep your fields anj run your depart ment?" asked Chairman Helm. trade for the five stores already here. Such talk as this is what is killing Pittsboro by degrees. If a man wants to go in business heva he is so badly . discouraged by t'ae talk of the people, (the appearance of the town pro es it) that he leaves for other pastures. NEW . BUILDINGS - Cft George Peabody College For Teachers. Nashville, Aug. 19. A few days ago excavation was begun for the Manual Training Building, the first structure to be erected on the beau tiful new, fifty-acre site of George Peabody College for Teachers, Nashville, Tenn. It is proposed to have four new buildings ready by September, 1913, and, at that time, with an especially able faculty, to open for students. ' In quick succession the Domestic Economy Building, a dormitory for women, and the Psychology Build ing will be erected. The cost of these four buildings to be complet ed within the next twelve months is estimated at about $350,000. The style of architecture will be classic, with many details of southern colonial. The whole group of build ings will present one harmonious style, with modifications sufficient to secure pleasing variety. None of the structures will be over three stories high. A series of units is planned and buildings will be grouped for convenience, architectural effecj and greatest possible service. The best architects and landscape designer procurable, the college trustees and President Payne, assisted by an ad visory board of specialists, have planned with care and skill the gen eral layout of the buildings and grounds This gives assurance that the college will have an education al plant modem, convenient and efficient. It is contemplated that two or three buildings will be added each year until the whole scheme is car ried out. Peabody College, which was founded thirty-seven years ago as the leading normal' school of the south, has already accomplished one phase of its work. It can now count nearly forty normal schools support ed by southern states to carry on the work then begun. Its graduates and former students number over eight thousand, and ther are. In most cases, performing valuable ser vice. And now, on a splendid new site and with larger resources, George Peabody College for Teach ers will enter upon Its new phase of teacher training service. It will respond to the changed needs in southern education. It is intended that it shall be a great teachers' college. It will not conflict with our valuable teacher training institu tions, but will be of assistance to them all and will supplement their work. Adjacent to the Peabody campus are the attractive grounds of Van derbilt University. It is proposed that these two institutions, though separate and independent, shall ex change educational facilities, and it is hoped and believed that this co operation will promote greatly the Interest of education in the south.

TOYLAND. GOSSIP OF Stories Told About Democratic Headqaarters Mooses Finn For Wilson and Marshal! New York, Aug. 19 There is a cloud of songs hovering over the American people; not the old, old home songs, but the campaign song that conies into being every four years. '. The crop that has been reaching democratic national headquarters is larger than usual, this year. Josephus Daniels, chairman of the publicity committee, does not claim to be a musician, but he has been giving due attention to each author, until he has acquired the habit of humming, various tunes. It became a case 61 either humming while talking to his callers and answer ing his avalanche of letters or turn ing the songs over to one of the em ployes of the publicity bureau. A winsome young stenographer was found who said she could play the piano Just as well as she could use the typewriter. Kor two days she played tunes after office hours, but today it was found she was writing her letters in B sharp or F flat and now Mr. Daniels is wonder ing if he Bhould not employ a regu lar musical editor to select the songs for the campaign, If a congressional committee ever cares to investigate the democratic national committee campaign fund for 1912, they will find one entry on the cash books of Treasurer Holla Wells thatvhe will be unable to give them any information about. in his morning mail, Treasurer Wells found a dollar bill, in a high-') ly scented piece of letter paper and was signed "Only a Suffragette." This was duly entered on the books. A political headquarters during a national campaign is about the last place a man would expect to spend a vacation but that is what William Rufus Hollister, private secretary to Senator Stone, of Missouri, is doing: Mr. Hollister is in Chairman Mc Conib's private office and to him falls the duty of answering many of the letters that reach headquarters. Mr. Hollister was selected for the Important post beeause lie has a reputation in Washington of being able to keep a half a dozen stenog raphers busy writing letters. "But 1 am having a vacation," explained Mr. Hollister from behind a yard-high of letters. '.- "Senator Stone every four years, declares it is wrong for any. one to eat or sleep. , ' f . "A political battle Is like war to him. He goes on the theory that a man who is engaged in a real war, when the shot and shells are doing business, has no time": to stop to eat and sleep. A political fight is like war "to Senator Stone, so he refuses to eat or sleep until the victory is won. "That's why I am sort of glad to get Into the busy headquarters. 1 will at least, get some sleep and 1 can eat now and then." : But there Is another reason why Mr. Hollister is glad 10 come to New York. Mr. Hollister's own family and Senator Stone are about the only people who know his middle name is Rufus. He is not happy over that middle name Rufus as Mr. Hollister comes from Jefferson City, Missouri. When Senator Stone is about to buckle on his sword and get real busy in a national campaign, he rorgets his private secretary's dis like for his middle name, and starts calling him "Rufus." "When Hollister hears 'Rufus,' " said Col. Thomas Jones Pence, "he knows the famous Missouri senator is starting to forget his dislike for Rufus and also to forget to eat or sleep." The Ladies World, one or the Mc Clure publications, just completed a political contest in their maga zine. . In a letter to Chairman W. P. Mc Combs, Frederick .L. Collins, presi dent of the McClure Publications, inc., writes: "The 750,000 readers of this magazine were invited to express political preference for president and their reasons therefor. "The response was overwhelming ly large and the result shows that of the replies, 68 per cent were for Woodrow Wilson, the other 82 per cent being scattered between the re publicans, progressives, prohibition ists and socialists." 8ergeant-at-Arm8 John I. Martin was busily engaged in directing the man moving a heavy desk in the democratic national headquarters today, when former Gov. David K. Francis, of Missouri, tapped Colonel Martin on the shoulder, and said: "John, we can beat those fellows moving a desk." "No doubt about it, governor," replied Colonel Mar tin, and giving the proper "hitch" known to all expert handlers of heavy boxes or packages the vener able sergeant-at-anns, nd formei millionaire governor of Missouri, carried the desk across the room. "I first met John Martin in 1869," explained Mr. Francis. "John was a shipping clerk In the store adjoining that of my uncle, C. P. Rowland, of St. Louis. I had just graduated from school and my uncle gave me a position in his store. 1 was made the shipping clerk and we used to help load the drays, and John here, showed me how to lift a big box by giving it the proper bal ance. And, speaking of proper bal ancing," went on Mr. Francis, "let me tell my friends that th Ameri can public is not going to be off Its balance this fall. Roosevelt is do log all he can to keep the business and laboring world balancing around on one foot, but 1 cannot see nor can I flud, the, slightest indication but what the great masses are stand ing firm for Wilson and Marshall." There is nothing abnormal in the appearance of Elmor W. Hurst, ot Rock Island, 111. He is a tall, broad shouldered, dignified appearing man, waving gray hair, gray mustache and a twinkling blue eye, but Mr. Hurst is somewhat of an oddity in thte legal and political world, not only in Illinois, but the west. He was the Illinois delegation choice for vice-president at Balti more, but he did not want the posi tion. He was the choice of the ma jority of the democrats of 'Illinois for democratic governor, but he de clined with thanks, and he has been offered political honors for the past score of years, and never accepted but one, and that was when he went to the Illinois legislature at the re quest of Congressman Ben B. Cable, who incidentally, Mr. Hurst discov ered and fathered. Mr. Hurst has the reputation of not alone being the intimate friend of the leading democrats of the country, but has the unique distinc tion of persuading many of the prominent men in political life, to day, to take office. , Mr. Hurst was a member of the notification committee from Illinois, at Seagirt. "1 believe it is the duty of every one to take part in political events, but 1 belong to the class that does not care to hold office today. "We expect Roosevelt to get a large republican vote in the cities of Illinois, but he is not due to get any of the republican farmers' vote. "Many of the republican friends think that Roosevelt will secure Mall of the republican vote in Indiana. This very fact alone adds to the cer tainty of Governor Wilson In November.
