The very helpful talk given by Dr. L. A. Williams, of the State Univer sity, Thursday night at the school au ditorium, was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. His subject "Know Your Town," was an appeal to every citizen to become enlightened on th subject, beginning with the school and a knowledge of what money supports it; how many children attend and when they begin to drop out, and many other points. He touched on the subject of clean streets; and the cutting down of trees with no plan for replanting a sub ject that is taken up by Governor Craig in his proclamation calling for the observance of Arbor Day, Novem ber 5th. There was also a special appeal made for encouragement and help in the Moonlight School movement which brings the question "What is Asheboro going to do ?" It is to be regretted that the entire town was not out to hear Dr. Williams which was no doubt largely owing to a series ef unfortunate circumstances preceding his arrival, but for which no one could assume entire blame.

The Deputy Collectors, Neeley and Johnson accompanied by a deputy sheriff of Forsyth county, went to the home of Frank Snipes and Jim Snipes, which is about a mile and a half from Kernersville, to search for the pres ence of blockade liquor. They found about forty gallons of whiskey in a body of woods near the Snipes home. The deputy sheriff was left to guaad the liquor while Messrs. Johnson and Neeley proceeded to make a closer nspecton of the premises. When near the residence Mr. Neeley was suddenly confronted by a' member of the Snipes family who drew a Win chester on the officer and ordered him to throw up his hands, which Mr. Neeley proceeded to do. About this time Deputy Collector Johnson appeared on the scene and was promptly covered by a Winches ter. The revolvers which the officers carried with them were unloaded and returned to them. The deputy collectors were then ad vised to return to Greensboro and were offered f 100 to say nothing about tho incident. Messrs.

KENNEDY AND HIGH POINT PARTY HAVE BIG FOX RACE IN LTPER RANDOLPH CAPTURE FOX NEAR PLEASANT GARDEN. Last Thursday Capt. H. H Kenne dy, J. C. Davis. B. L. Hunt and Thom as Farlow, started out for a fox chaae, reaching the hunting grounds near Mt. Gilead church, in the northern Dart of the county, in the morning, dur ing the day's hunt three younij foxes were caught and the hunters went in for a rest. Late in the evening about seven o'clock they went out aga'n, ma king the strike at once near the rock fence, the dogs trailed westward about eight miles by Buggar Hil1, through the John Dorsett farm, out by Brown's Lodge, near Trinity, around through the surrounding co mtry, crossing the railroad near the brink yard and crossing the old plank road near the Amos Ragan place. The party was joined at Springfield by Ed. Clodfelter and L. J. Walton, of High Point Then they made a straight run to Jamestown crossing Deep River near Logan's factory, and then ah g dogs turned down the river, leaviag all the hunters behind. When the dogs were next heard from they had cross ed Deep River near Freeman's Mill and were going north. When the dogs were found by the hunters they were about six miles from Greensboro completely worn out, and were rest ing by the roadside. This was about noon Friday, the day following the beginning of the race. The chase was temporarily suspended until the dogs were rested. After resting until about 5 o'clock in the afternoon the race was resum ed. The hunters in the meantime had been joined by Charles Kennedy and Will Albertson, of Trinity, with four fresh dogs. These dogs were put on the track and for two hours the race was on, making the catch at 8 o'clock 25 miles from where they had start ed, and exactly 25 hours afterwards. Omitting the hours taken for rest and refreshments, the actual chase had lased 18 hours and had covered at least 40 miles of ground. Both hunt ers and dogs were ia a fair state of ex haustion, but it was agreed that it was one of the best and most exciting races in which these veteran hunters had ever engaged. Despondent over poor health, Daniel W. Garmond, a prominent farmer of Cabarrus county, committed suicide Sunday by shooting himself in the right temple. 1
