Will Durln, the negro who was plac ed on trial Friday afternoon ift superior court for the murder of A. S. Cook, white, of Monroe, was found guilty yesterday of murder in the second degree- and was sentenced by Judge C. C. Lyon to serve ten years on the county roads. The case was given to the jury yesterday afternoon shortly after the opening of court from noon adjournment and the Jury returned us verdict after being out only a short time. The man who was murdered early last November near the intersection of the Southern Railway tracks and West Second street was a native Of Monroe and a painter by trade. He, with a companion named Welch from Monroe, came up to Charlotte one af ternoon, both being somewhat under the influence of drink. They went to the Southern station where Welch said he intended to buy a ticket for Columbia, S. C, while Gook was in tending to visit his wife at Gastonia. He left the station presently, after vainly trying to induce Welch to go with him to Gastonia. Welch remained at the station waiting for a train to Columbia and Cook was found about two o'clock next morning by a negro family on West Second street who were awakened by some one falling against the door. They found his bleed ing to death from knife stabs and no tified the police. A coroner's inquest failed to attach scuspicion on anyone and Chief Christenbury, rwith plain clothes men Johnson and Earnhardt gathered evidence that pointed strong ly to Will Durin. They worked on the clue steadily and soon had a strong case made out, with the result that he has been held without bail until the present time.. TWO CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATH. SEC.

"The Greater Charlotte Club has put on membership campaigns each year for the past five years, but never has there been the enthusiasm and results as have shown up in the present cam paign" said Secretary W. T. Corwlth of the club last night, as he. summed up the results of the work of the mem bers of the club last week. . "The number of new members is not only larger than ever before se cured but more interest and enthusi asm has been generated than I ever before seen here. "The people of Charlotte general ly seem to appreciate the need of ah organization like the Greater Charlotte Club and they seem to believe that the club is doing a great work for Char lotte and are rallying to its support, "Those connected with the work of the club in its early days are perhaps the only people who can realize the struggle there was to keep the organi zation alive looking back over those years it seems difficult to understand how the organization was kept on its feet. "One of the most encouraging feat-, ures in connection with the present membership campaign which was put on by the Greater Charlotte Club Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of the past week, was that more lasting good to the club than came from cam paigns in past years "The continuation of the campaign"; was made posibly only by the was suggestion " of Messrs. George Stevens and W. S. Alexander, two of the live, wide awake business men of this city to make an effort to raise a sustaining fund for the club. The inspiration of the act of these two gentlemen is going to be the cause of the member ship of the club reaching'the coveted 1,000 mark. It would have been im possible for us to reach this point had these men not come to the front with their offer. "The Greater Charlotte Club set its membership mark at 1,000 years ago and each year since then in the mem bership campaign this number 'has been set as the mark we hope to reach some time, and while we have talked 1.000 and have never stopped we have never let it discourage us because each effort in this direction have not met with results sufficient to cover the full number. "An increase of 50 per cent in mem bership in any organization in three days work is very gratifying and one which would be satisfactory to the average workers but in this particular case so high has been pitched tne en thusiasm that 50 per cent will not answer and the workers are tumbling over themselves in the field to get the raeraining 250 members Nand round out the 1,000. . "The earnestness manifested is go ing to bring the desired results and when-the 1,000 .mark is reached the men who have so generously come to the front with the offer to supply the club with a -sustaining fund will have the matter largely to their credit." Death Yesterday of Mis. Richardson Special to The News. Monroe. Feb. 17.
