Efforts will be made to get people from the north Vv^ho desire to engage in farming. This land is in what is known as •the sand-hill sections ai)d is the same kind of land on vvhicli is grown.such splendid fruit in the Pinehurst section. It is aaid that this sand land ai'ound Hamlet is being nnade to produce fine cot ton.

FAm AND MO. 8 j'" hj 1H 1 ikii . ^ ki.k Korfoik, Va,, July 2,--\¥hat ■•vas intended for a before break fast constitutional proved to be 'he cause of a miserable and nerve rackin hour for a young Balti more couple yesterday morning. They came down the bay on the he*apeake Line steamer City of Baldmore, and when they reach ed Oid Point got off the boat for a walk around the pier while the shi]) was discharging freight, leaving their two year old child asleep in their stateroom. They walked too far, for when they re turned to the pier the City of Bal timore was churning the water of Hampton Roads, making for Nor folk as fast as her engines could speed her. Then when they realized that constantly increasing distance was separating them from the baby the man and wife grew frantic. They traced to the tele phone in the Chamberlain and af ter seconds, which seemed hours succeeded in getting the Norfolk office of the Chesapeoke Line, telling the local official of their mishap. They were j^romised that “baby darling” as the moth er called the tot, would be cared for when the City of Baltimore docked, and were advised to take the Norfok and Washington boat to Norfolk, Pi’esently the Chesapeake steamer came in, and as soon as she tied up at the foot of Jaek- i-on stioet one of the chamber maids v.-as told to see ho'A^ the U::;crt('d iittie one was making When i,he entered the roimi I wddio Vv'ts found awake with its eves uiidinm.ed by tears, sitting in ilu; n:iddle of ihe bed play- with a pui.'tJ-of pins.

I The negro while diligenily en- ! gaged in his work, sounded some inscrument with his grub-hoe and it immediately cxciied hi.-; curi osity. Stooping: duvvn lie puded out a pot and never dre;uned what it contained, lie decided, however, before coi.tinuing his work to open the pot- and the old fellow almost (l:Pi]apsed with sur prise and shock when he was greeted with the glittering gold reflected by the hot rays from the sun. The negro reported the discov ery to his employer, who, it is said, retained a few pieces as souvenirs and allowed the color ed man to take the remainder to his family. STATE BARASSOCIATION FAVORS MSliE JUDGES Richmond, Va., June SO,—It was learned today that on the complaint of the members nf his family, who said they were teri fied at his threats and actions, Dr. Lawrence Ligram, prominent Houthside physician, was arrest ed at his home, 1201 Porter street yesterday evening, given a speedy and semi-secreet trial be fore Justice Maunice, and sent to jail for sixty days. He was convicted on a charge of “being drunk and raising a disturbance." Sentence was imposed, it was declared by the police today, in order that Dr. fngram “might have time to get to be himself again.” Further than this, ev eryone reasonably supposed to know anything about the case, maintained a strict silence. At the station it could not even be learnfed who had sworn out the warrant for Dr. Ingram's arrest. The clerk of the court sa:id it wasn’t there. The desk sergeant said he didn’t know anything about it. It was reliably reported how ever, that Dr. Ingram’s arrest was brought about by his wife, and that it came as the result of threats made by him against her life yesterday. FIHE INUlBiMT DOES m DAMAGE IN GREENSBORO Buffalo, N.

July 3.—Fire to night at 8:30 o’clock practically destroyed all of the plant and lumber stock of the Guilford Lumber Manufacturing Company eiituiiing a loss of about $40,000, on which there was only $7,000 insurance. The blaze was first disc(^»^erod in the dry kiln, but me the fire uy^^,;:im.e tne nre department got to rhe scciic it had reached other buildings aisd the firemen Proctor avenue and the water front today. Four of the dead have been identified and four are still buried beneath tons of twist ed steel and masses of concrete, where it is irnpossible^^t one of them could .ha,ye survived. Pour others \yer€: injui^d. / All the dead and missing were tin-smiths of this city. ‘ Mayor Fuhrmaii and District Attorney Dudley have started an investiga tion to place tihe reeponsibility for the accident. A preliminary estimate of th^ damage to the building, which was practically completed for installation of the machinery, indicated thait the loss would exceed $150,000. About 40 men were at wprk when the big strueture treinbled as more than 200 feet of its heavy roof swung downward, carrying with it the greater part of the side walls. Men jumped from the crumbling mass in-all direc tions. Two plunged into the car nal and were rescued by occu pants ot a motor boat Firemerj; police arid soldiers from Fort Porter were quickly at work in the wreckage and six were riashed to hospitals. One died in an ambulance and two on operating tables,. Hours ' must elapse before those buried in the machinery pit can be reached. W^pliitiigton, D.

July 4, Wasmi: Roanoke, Va., June SO.—This morning agreements between the machinists of the Norfolk and Western Railroad and the man agement were signed by officials of the union and representatives of the road. Conferences leading up to this conclusion have extended over several months and at times have seemed to pretend serious differ ences. Questions at issue have been settled in a manner satis factory to both sides. Nine dif ferent branches of labor are af fected, including carmen, boiler makers. pipefitters, blacksmiths, sheet-metal workers, painters, hostlers and iron workers. An increase of S cents an hour is to be allowed whenever Nor folk and Western receipts reach $2,082,000 monthly,- the same as the monthly average of the last six months of 1910, The^ agree ment does not go into effect un til ratified by all the' unions af fected. The present average in come of the road is $3,090,000 per moFith and the m^n expect that the specified li'»^it will :be reached by fall Hon. Henry Clay Brown, mem ber of the North Carolina corpor ation commission died this morn ing at 6:30 o’clock after an ill ness that has steadily grown worse since May 20, when he was last at his deskin the offices of the commission. His death has been txpected at any time for the past three days. He died i of cancer of the stomach and many think that a severe attack of typhoid fever that he under went two years ago left some germ of infection that at last de veloped into this fatal illness. It was as successor to the lamented B. F. Aycock that Mr. Brown was first appointed on the commission May 6 191], after he had given to the commission ser vice as secretary since 1891, that eminently equipped him for the commission and won for him the universal verdict of being the best equipped man for the place that could be found for the com- missionership. He was born in Randolph county in 1857. could do little more than confine the firimes to tlje buildings of this concern.

The heat was terrific i as the buildings and piled lum- I ber went up in fiames and flames. IA tremendous crowd surrounded i tne fire, but kept a respectful distance on account of the heat. I'he firemen hid heroic w'ork and the water pressure was good. The Guilford Lumber Manu facturing Company’s plant was located between South Ashe and i Lewis streets, just across the I railroad tracks from the depot ; and in the midst of a big lumber I manufacturing district. Mr. C. I A. Reynolds is president and Mr. . IW. D. Mendenhall is secretary bpecinl and treasurer of the company, Reidsville, July 3.

However, very few, if any, of the places where near-beer has been handled have closed up, in fact, there is probably hot a sin gle near-beer saloon in Raleigh closed on account of the opera tion of the law. All say that they have cut out near-beer but it is understood that other drinks will be gradually substituted and the struggle with the authorities will then be as to whether any of them are violations of the law^. It is stated at the internal reve nue headquarters here that prac tically all the near-beer saloons are continuing to hold federal licenses as to the sale of intoxi cants and manj; of the dealers have on the quiet intimated their purpose; to change at least the size and shape of their bottles from which near-beer and other wise have been, served.
