VOL. XXX. PITTSBORO. CHATHAM COUNTY. N. 0., THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 28. UMtt. NO. 16. f TAK HEEL TOTICS V If Items Gathered from All School Board Meeting. .Jjnleig'h, Special. The State board of education met and considered va rious matters. The fact that 45,000 acres of perhaps three-quarters of a million acres of swamp land, of which this hoard has control, are to be drained as an experiment, and in fact as an object lesson to the entire eastren part of the State, is of much ; interest, not only in North Carolina hut in the other coast States. The board also has approved the plan for the now colored normal school build in? at Elizabeth City. The cost will bo $12.-00. The board devoted much time ro the apportionment of funds for the new country high school. The last legislature appropriated $45,000 to be applied in the way of State aid for such institutions. Eighty-one counties applied and these get lod schools. The applications covered over 3.000 more than the appropria tion. Not less than $250 was set part for any full school. State Super- i intendent Joyner expressed his very 1 great pleasure that within ten months after the act was passed by the leg islature applications had been made covering the whole amount appropri ated in fact, even more and that 81 out of the 97 counties, this being S4 per cent, of the whole number, had applied for all and even more than their proportionate share and had secured all the high schools which were established. Three coun ties. "Wake Forsvth and Robeson, get four schools each. Lumber Mills Affected. . Wilmington, Special. On account of the general financial stringency North and its consequent depressing effect upon the trade, it is announced here that practically all the lumber mills in this section of eastern North Carolina have either given notice that their plants will be shut down entire ly or that a reduction in the wage, scale will go into effect after the end of the present week. The Cape Fear Lumber Company, the largest mill of its kind in this territory, posted no tices that effective Monday all wages and salaries from the general man ager down will be reduced 25 per , , cent., this being the only alternative ' to shutting down altogether on ac- count of unsettled conditions. The logging forces in the country have been given a similar reduction and the number of men cut down to meet the curtailed product of the mills. Similar reductions in the wage scale of mills at Whiteville, in Pen der county, and . at Newbern and Goldsboro are understood to be ef fective Monday, while many of the smaller plants throughout the east ern section of the State have closed down altogether. On account of the stagnation in business North all high grade lumber has dropped down and coarse has declined below a point of profit. j Law breakers Arrested. j Salisbury, Special. Game Warden; Upchurch has been after the Rowan j pot hunters and has bagged five boys '. and men who have been violating the ' game laws. Three of these were fined and he expects more before leaving the county It it his purpose to ap point some watchful man "unbe kownst" to the public and put a premium upon the job by paying him $10 for every conviction. Birds have been plentiful on the market recently and it is believed that, thev wr here, like "dry" towns liquor, in, spite of the law and prohibition. j Strobhar Guilty of Embezzlement. Gainesville, Fla., Special. After deliberating 16 hours in the case of the State against J. N. Strobbar, for the alleged embezzlement of $7,500 of the Seaboard Air Line railroad funds, the jury rendered a verdict of guilty. It was a hard-fought trial in everal courts in Canada, Georgia and Flor ida. Scotland County Man Loses Life in a Cotton Gin. Lumberton, Special. There was a horrible accident at the cotton gin of 51 r. J. M. Butler in Howellsville township, 12 miles from here, late Wednesday afternoon in which Mr. Haynes Kinlaw about 65 years old, j lost his life. While engaged in load-I i"g his wagon with cotton seed his -oal was caught by a screw in the shafting and before the engine could ; he j-tf pped the unfortunate man had , heen terribly mangled. I Postell's Trial's Sudden End. Ashevilie, Special. The trial of Hugh Postell for the murder of his first cousin, Ed Edwards, here during August, ended abruptly Friday after noon shortly after 4 o'clock by the prosecution's accepting a plea of murder in the second degree. Judge rlu!on sentenced Postell to 30 years in the State prison. There is no appeal Cid the prisoner will be taken to Ral p'?h next week, Sections of the State W COMMISSIONERS ARE INDICTED Grand Jury of Gaston County Re turns a Bill Against 'the rive Mem bers of the County Board Relative to a New Court House. Gstonia, Special. The grand jury has returned a bill of indictments against the board of county commis sioners charging them with failure to comply with the recommendation of the grand jury made at the Septem ber term of court, that a new court house be built. It is understood that the case will be called for trial at the next term of superior court. The board is composed of Mr. A. R. An ders, of Gastonia; Dr. O. G. Falls, of King's Mountain; Mr. N. B. Ken drick, o Cherryville; Mr. John F. Leper, of Belmont, and Mr. R. K, Davenport of Mount Holly. S. A. L. Train Kills Alvin Hineycutt. Wadesboro, Special. Westbound Seaboard Air Line passenger train at 10 o'clock Thursday morning crash ed into a covered wagon at Concord crossing near this place, and instantly killed Mr. Alvin Honeycutt, driver of the wagon, and seriously injuring his wife. Immediately after the accident the dead man was taken to Polkton and Mrs. Honeycutt was later carried to Charlotte where she was placed in a hospital. The 15-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Honeycutt was also an occupant of the wagon, but was un injured. He was left in charge of his father's remains at Polkton. It is supposed that Mr. Honeycutt failed to see the oncoming train on account of the wagon cover. The engine had just rounded a curve and it was im possible to stop. The wagon was torn into splinters, but the two mules were uninjured. Mr. and Mrs. Honeycutt had been visiting relatives in Chester Held country. South Carolina, and wore returning to their home in Stan ley county, ibis State. Mr. Honey cutt was a prosperous and much iikei! farmer. It is thought that Mrs. H.uieycutt fs injuries will not prove fatal s Want Time Extended. Ashevilie, Special. Some of the sa loon keepers f Ashevilie don't want to go out of business on January 1st, under the vote of the people on Oc tober Stb. and it is understood that they will apply to the board of alder men and county commissioners next week for an extention of time. They desire to continue in business until April 1, 190S, alleging that they can not dispose of their goods prior to that time. It is understood that for mal application will be made for an extension. The saloon men, it is said, have employed counsel and will seek to have the authorities grant them more time. Prohibition carried in Ashevilie in October by more than S00 majority, and it is probable that the prohibitionists Avill bitterly op pose any extension. Killed by Falling Tree. Reidsville, Special Mr. J. F. Ward a former section master of the Dan ville & Western railway met a fright ful death Thursday morning about '9 o'clock, while engaged in cutting down a large tree for use as timber at Martin's sawmill, near Stokesland.

Winston-Salem, Special. Nearly all of the Odd Fellows in the State are taking great interest in the pro posed statue to Mr. Nathaniel Jaco bi, founder of the Odd Fellows' Or phanage at Goldsboro. The initial movement was started in this city and the local lodge has received much commendation of their efforts to keep the memory of this good man alive. Judging from the interest which the various lodges are taking in the matter, it will be only a short time before the statue is erected. New Express Warehouse. Wilmington, Special. The. South ern Express Company is building near the Front street depot of the Atlan tic Coast Line a brick Avarehouse to be used as a receiving station for the large amount of truck that is now off ered for shipment here, the up-town office being insufficient in size to take care of the business.

The paper, President Gompers said, purported to have been signed when he (Gompers) was ill in 1S95. This paper, Mr. Gompers said, he had pre served and, while death-like stillness prevailed in the convention, Presi dent Gompers drew forth the orig inal document and read it.
