Vs - r, SHOOTING AFFRAY AT LEVEL CROSS Car! Toomes Seriously Wound ed Robert Hackney Sur renders To Sheriff. Robert Hackney, of the Level Cross neighborhood above Randle man, is in jail at Ashebo after surrendering to the sheriff Tuesday night following a shooting affray in which he was one of the chief actors. Carl Toomes is under treatment at his home near Level Cross, if not yet removed to hospital, suffering from serious if not fatal injuries caused by pistol shots fired by Hack ney. Still another alleged participant in the affray, Arthur Peake, has not been arrested. The affray according to one version of the affair occurred Tuesday night about 8:30. Hackney was on his way home from a store at Level Cross and : was carrying with him a number of ! packages containing several articles he had purchased at the store. He I met Peake and Toomes at a point on the road and according to Hackney's version of the affair Toomes knocked him down, and while lying on the ground Hackney drew his revolver , from his pocket and opened fire on : his assailant. One bullet took effect , in the left lung, another in Toomes' left wrist and still another entered the right side penetrating the lung, j Hackney was shooting at close range and every bullet fired took effect. Peake ran and Hackney fired several shots at him while he was speeding across an adjacent corn field. Immediately after the shooting Hackney set out for Asheboro to sur render to tne oincers. in ine mean- j time the sheriff had been notified and deputy sheriff Scotten had gone to the scene of the shooting. Help was summoned and Toomes was carried home. It is understood that Toomes and Peake claim the facts are quite' dif ent and that the assault by Hackney was without justification. Cotton Crop Valued At Nearly Two Billion The value of this year's cotton crop according to estimates of the United States Department of Agriculture is more than one and two-thirds billions of dollars. The estimate of the crop is 13,153,000 bales. Based on the farm price of cotton on December 1st, which was 22.6 cents per pound this year's production is valued at $1,421,356, 262. In addition the value of theeot ton seed will approximate $200,000, 000. This year's crop will be the fifth largest in the history of the country ' in the point of value, being exceeded in value only by the crops of 1917, 1918, 1919, and 1923. In point of size the crop is the ninth largest ever grown. The record crop was in 1916 when the crop reached 16,135,000 bales. Ninety per cent of the 1921 crop had been ginned up to Dec. 1st.

DUSB ANNOUNCES : MILLIONS FOR EDUCATION Will Giva For CkaritaUe and Edocatiwil Purposes Total f Ferty ftEStons James B. Dake, perhaps the state's wealthiest ctttsrn, fntm his I) me i: Charlotte Monday gM. announce gifts and endowments for educational ami charitable purposes totaling f 40, (MK),000. Fin on the list is a pro gram for the establishment in North Carolina of a' Duke universitj, with a provision that by changing iu name Trinity college at Durham may lie come the abject of thi benefaction. L'n.ler tins provision Trinity college would receive 0 gift of 16,000,000 and an annual income of 32 per cent f the total income of the $40X00,000 trust estate established by Mr. Duke. This part of the income is estimated at more than a half million dollars an nually. Other benefactions listed are pro visions for establishing and maintain ing hospitals in North and South Carolina for the treatment of toe poor; and an annual income to be giv- en for the support of orphans both white and colored in North and South Carolina; erection and maintenance of Methodist Episcopal churches in both the Carolinas and a fund fur superannuated ministers and for their widows and children in North Caro lina. Davidson college and Furman university are remembered with J100.000 a year each. Thinks Trinity Will Change Name President William Few, of Trinity college, states that in his opinion the name of Trinity college win oe changed to Duke university and that every effort will be made by the trus tees of the institution to carry out Duke's ideals of educational advance ment. There has been quite a bit of dis cussion among; the alumni of Trinity college as to the terms of Duke's gift, but the general opinion prevails that the name of the college will be chang ed in order that it may share largely in the trust fund and also secure the $6,000,000 offered by Duke.

According to reports Zeif'er and Pulton, road contractors are opt-rut-inc on the Grfenshoro-ItarMolph coui ty stretch of mute No. 70, hae brok en all reropl in hanl surface con struction. Not many week- ago the contractor- moved their machinery tn this project ami began work i;i ;in ef fort to get the concrete' t"ur-i be fore colli weather interfered. According to the officials of the state highway commission le-s than a mile of the stretch from the Ran dolph county liru to Greensboro re mains unfinished and every effort is beinjc madr to complete this mile and get it ready for ute before winter sets in. The wrk was started three miles- south of Greensboro and vas neaueo north. When this stretch was eom- pleted the machinery was rarived three miles further south and the work headed toward the completed high way. Each stretch was opened U traffic as fast as it was completed, i Zeigler and Dalton have been given I a tentative contract for the construe- j tjon of the project from Kandleman to I the Guilford county line. It is no known when the contractors will move their machinery to this part of the route. Work is progressing on (he bridge at Randleman and it appears that bv the time the road is built from Randleman to the county line the bridge will be ready for use, if not before, and there will be an un- interrupted route to Greensboro. Number Theories As to Robberies Committed Many theories have been advanced as to the parties who committed the house breakings in Asheboro last week. The most plausible, perhaps, is that some person or persons posing as agents committed the burglaries. It is a scheme that has been worked from time to time in various parts of the country. The plan is to ring the door bell and if unanswered to make some pretext of having something for sale. If nobody answers the door bell then if the door is unfastened to go in either at the front or back and ransack the house. This is to cast no reflection on honest agents who are honestly plying their trade. Besides the homes of Dr. Hunter and Mr. Robins that were entered last week, the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Spence was entered and goods to the value of more than $35.00 were tak en. Neither Mr. or Mrs. Spence were at home at the time. Sunday School money to the amount of $8.00 was taken from the Spence home. From the Hunter home a new suit of clothes and a number of shirts were taken. At first it was thought that nothing had been taken, but it was discovered later that this cloth ing had been taken. M. K. MATT KRS V. II.
