the school occurred Monday with
232 pupils in the building, the
largest opening enrollment in the
history of the school. These stu
dents divided into the respective
rooms show a total of 47 high
school students, 45 in the sixth
grades, 70 in the intermediate

The tobacco market opened
here today with a fair break of;
tobacco which sold for a satisfac-;
tory price. An excellent bunch
of warehousemen are in charge j

conclusion that more tobacco will
be sold here this year than ever
before. Messrs. E. J. Davis &
Son, of Martinsville. Va., are
managers of the old house while
the New house is being managed
by Messrs. J. C. Hutcherson and
Henry McGehee. of Reidsville.
Many of the big manufacturers
are represented besides a num
ber of leaf dealers and others.
Practically the same line-up of
buyers are here this year as last.

of Burlington, auctioneers for the
Old house. All grades of tobacco
are selling for a good price while
prices for bright grades are ex

! will make no mistake by selling
early this year.

SUNDAY EVENING GUN
PLAY IN THE MOUNTAIN
Sidney Love. Love-Mad. Shoots Frank Brown and
Will Thomas, Is Himself Shot Four Times, Kills
His Own Horse, and Lands Safely in ,lai!--An
Amateur Jesse James Affords An Afternoon's
Excitement For the People of Moore's Springs and
King.
Sidney Love is in jail here'
charged with shooting Frank
Brown at Moore's Springs and
Deputy Sheriff Will Thomas at
King Sunday afternoon. The
prisoner is himself wounded in
four different places, none of
which are giving him much
trouble, as follows: Twice in
one arm, once in the other arm.
while one ear has been clipped
with a bullet. These wounds
were received in the fight near
King, when the officers tried to
arrest him. In the hospital at
Winston-Salem, very seriously
wounded. Deputy Thomas lies
with a pistol ball under the third
rib, which possibly passed
through his liver. At his home
near Moore's Springs, Frank
Brown suffers with two shots,
one in the arm, the other in the
hip. He is not seriously hurt.
The fight began at Moore's
Springs about five o'clock Sun
day afternoon, when young
Brown was shot by Love, and
'it ended one hour and fifteen
i minutes later on the other side
of the mountain, near King,
seventeen miles distant, when
! Love, resisting arrest by Thomas
and Spainhour, shot down
Thomas, killed his own horse,
and was himself shot by the
No. 2,270
' two officers. The latest news
received from Thomas is not
reassuring.
The story of the affair reads
like a page from a dime novel,
or a chapter from the escapades
, of some of the feudists of the
mountains of Kentucky. There
: is a woman in the case —a girl
about 1") years old, Miss Minnie
Wall, of Yade Mecum, daughter
of Mr. John Wall, said to be a
\ young lady of attraction. At
the jail last night, a Reporter
| man tried to interview young
Love, but he was shrewd enough
j not to talk much. He did not
11 mind saying that he was the son
! of Will Love of Tobaccoville. and
; j that his mother and father were
living, likewise three brothers
i and one sister. He has recently
been spending a good deal of
1 time at and around King. He
would not answer the direct
1 question as to why he shot
; j Brown, and stated that Brown
; | had not figured very largely in
I the affections of Miss Wall. As
[ Love lighted a cigarette, he told
! the newspaper man that he had
> been showing attentions to Miss
1 , Wall for four or five months.
I I He was asked how long Brown
1 had been courting the lady, and
