NEGRO ASSAULTS CfiPT, PRITCHARD 3am Thomas Aroused The Wrong Fellow Last Night And He is Now Nursing A Badly Lacerated Neck, Tom Sims is the Negro Who Used The Knife. TiuTe was a fierce and furious fight l"vn on East Eighth street last night an! a negro by the name of Sam Tli. unas. was badly used. According to Tom Sims' version of tiie affair, Sam Thomas, is all at fault. Hirns .savs that he was aroused from ; lumbers last night by some one 1: nocking at his back door. He called asked for the name of the would intruder. He says he received no K".icver. so he went out to investigate. Just as Sims opened the door, the n.an pushed in and tried to pass the owner of the premises. Sims says he n i -.1 to halt the man but he would not Lait. He then picked up a piece of stove wood and let the man have it across the head. The force of the lick felled liim. Sims says he again inquired who his riiid night visitor was but Thomas never "i'-ened his mouth. v After lying on the floor" for a few f.'conds. Thomas attempted to rise and this time Sims says he went at him v it.h a knife. Thomas, when the cold steel commenced to plough through, his hi fie, n:ade a dive for the door and made his escape in the darkness. This morning at the police station, Thomas presented a sorry spectacle. His face, head and shoulders were cov ered with blood. Around his neck was a cloth that was thoroughly saturated with the red fluid. He, however, man aged to go into the court room and hear the Recorder bind Sims over in a $25 bond for using his knife so freely.

Well Known Conductor On the - Charlotte Columbia And Augus ta Railroad Had A Close Call This : Morninsr. Nejrro With ....w r - - CJ W - Knucks and Pistol. Capt. Thomas Pritchard, whose home is at No. 409 North Pine street,1 had an exciting experience with a negro pas senger this morning. Capt. Pritchard was in charge of No. 30, the train that came in this morning at 9:55 o'clock from Savannah. At the Seaboard crossing, about a mile north of Chester, this morning, a negro by the name of Will Gaines, boarded the train., and took a seat in the negro car. As the train was passing, Ogden, a small station about 10 miles from Chester the report of a pistol shot was heard. Capt. Pritchard went in the car where Gaines was seated and charged him with firing the pistol. The negro denied it and used insulting lan guage. Capt.. Pritchard repeated the charge and told the negro that his pos tol was then in his pocket. Gaines arose from the seat and commenced striking Capt. Pritchard ,in the face with knucks. The weapon inflicted a deep gash on the lip and another cut on the nVTit temple. Being a frail man. uapt. Pritchard was no match for the burly negro. Mr. J. H. Mitchell of Whitney, N. C, who was a oassenger on the train came if Capt. Pritchard's assistance. Gaines attemptel to free himself and fought like an infuriated tiger. He, however,-was conquered and was soon bound hands and feet. When the train reached Rock Hill, Gaines was turned over to the authori ties there. Capt. Pritchard continued in charge of his train, coming on to Charlotte. His wounds were attended to by Dr. Whisnant after which he went to hia home, on North Pine street, several weeks iust beyond the munici pal building. Much harsh criticism has been passed on the banner because it was not thought that it was as elabo rate and as expensive as the fair man agement should put up. Secretary Pough has been flooded with postal cards making all manner of fun of the banner, demanding it to be taken down as disgraceful to the city. He gave no satisfaction as to what he would do .A crowd came together quietly and some one of the number climbed to the top of the electric light pole to which it was fastened and cut it down. When it fell some one struck a match and burned several feet of it so it would not be possible for the fair management to put it up again. The banner consisted of a single strip of canvas about 30 feet long and one foot -wide. A private subscription had been used to have an elaborate banner put up in time for the President's ar rival Thursday. A charter was issued for the High Point Molding Company at $50,000 capi tal authorized, and $50,000 subscribed by R. A. Wheeler, W. F. White and others. Another charter issued is to the Smith Pittman Drug Co.. of Pilot Mountain. The capital is $1,500, sub scribed bv Dr. J. B. Smith, S. W. Pitt- man and others, $10,000 being author ized. The weather conditions under which the state fairv onened today are ideal with every indication that good weather will continue through the week. Immense crowds visited the fair grounds Sunday, the crowd being pro nounced fully as large as is usually at the fair on Wednesday. Alreadv a laree crowd of visitors are in the city, although the formal open ing of the fair does not take place until tomorrow at noon, when Gov. Glenn will deliver an address which will for mally open the fair. Kemp Battle Hurt. Raleigh, N. C, Oct. 16. Dr. Kemp P.
