Fire early tonight destroyed the Smer den buggy factory and repair shop, a three story building, Beacom's livery stable and foiir horses, the home of Mr W. H. Hart, a colored hotel and two other small buildings near by, entailing a loss estimated at above twenty-five thousand dol lars. A large gasoline tank at the buggy factory exploded and threw flames for many feet in all direc tions and at one time threatened a great conflagration. Heroic work was necessary to prevent further serious loss. lina. "Watch Creedmoor Come." Creedmoor High School may read ily boast of a third larger attend ance than last year. . This is not all. The interest aroused by, the success of, and fa cile management of the above pro gram, -all are results of an unseen at any rate seldom heard of force in your connaur.ity, The Improve ment Association. The good wo men and friends of the school (in some cases having no children in the school) have stood right by the teachers. Creedmoor knows it, Granville knows it, and North Ca-J. rolina must know it one of these days. There was dinner, Many boxes did not need be opened.

L. Travathan, on Mon day morning of this week. The robbery took place, according to confession, in front of the post office and occured when the rural carrier returned for a second pouch of mail after bringing out a first pouch, his wallet of money, his supply of stamps and post cards, stamped envelopes and keys. These were taken, according to the state-J ment, of the negro who confessed," by Jesse Turner, abas Rouse, alais Robertson. A It was from the information-given the officers that a greater part of the envelopes, stamps, 'post cards and the emptied wallet were re covered in a woods "near the city late in the afternoon. Upon ihe arrival yesterday morn ing of Postoffice Inspector Chester and two members of the secret ser vice, Hollowed strengthened he case against his comrade. The ex amination at the polijce headquart ers made tip the four hours' ex amination and third degree gi vert negroes a rt csf ed. r v t secret service men, a prjstoffice inspector and several local policemen were p. esent at the, hearing. The "little negro" strengthened" his story of tiie robbery this morn ing and further stated that he stood guard while the other three blew op n 'he safe. The three negroes held f'M- charge were unshaken in their stoiy of having nothing what ever to do with the little negro who claims to be their companion. They utterly failed, however, to explain the presence of the mas.er keys on their person or from what source the stamps they were offering for sale had been secured. By the delaration of the little ne gro, the three jnen, Nat Thornton, Arthur Haywood and James Rouse, alias Jesse Turner, alias Robertson are being held in the local police station to await trial here for rob bing the local letter carrier.

V- - if HANDCUFFED TOGETHER ;.t BUT ESCAPED ANYHOW Prisoners Held For Roanoke Officers Made Spectacular Getaway Yesterday James Thomas, alias BurwcM Boch, and James Benjamin, alias Earnest Craig, two of the three young white men held since last week as fugitives from justice, they being accused of entering a store at Roanoke, Va., and taking arti ticles of men's wearing apparel valued at about $350," made a suc cessful dash for liberty yesterday morning. The dash was made at the passenger station about 8 o' clock as" Roanoke police officers were putting them on the train, the two that made the break being handcuffed together. Police offi cers were engaged throughout yes terday in an effort to locate the fugitives but without success. Chief Moore and Officer Manning of the Roanoke force, were the of ficers that came armed with requisi tion papers duly signed aiul honor ed for the men. There were three of what irr supposed to have been a band arrested here ami one at Dur ham and the Roanoke officers had already been to Durham and had the one arrested there in custody, making four that were to be put on the train. They were handcuff ed in pairs an 1 only officer Mann : ing was with the four when the two made the successful break for free dom. Chief Moore was in the sta tion arranging for transportation and tne other officer was engaged in putting the prisoners aboard the Winston Salem train. The pair that escaped were srmv- ,ear and while the officer was getting the other two started, Thomas and Benjamin, instead of turning on the platform and entering tne coach, continued on down the steps on the other side. Kvervthing seem ed to work right for the two as a freight train at that moment p it 1 1 -ing out of the yards, north bound. The two grabbtd a ladder hung on a freight car and as the train was oing at rapid rate, weie soon some distance from the station. The men lefr the freight tram as it neared Sergeant's foundrv and went down Washington street until the eastern limits of thecitv were readied. Then they entered the yoous in rne rear ! me . ami 1. college. They were tracked through the woods until near Cone park where all trace of them wa lost. The two that escaped stated to a number of people while in jail and the station yesterday morning that they did not intend to return to Roanoke. Cheif M re was told tnis and he answered that thev would return "if the train ran." The vounrr men gave the officer the laugh at this and as it turned out, 1 was the last laugh, and, according 10 the oft repeated statement, the best.
