Priddy w is one of the f Jty of revenue mm who recently invaded the Smith settle ment In St.kea county and laid lawful bands ou J mi Taylor and Will Smith.

That.'sbiner waa John Philips. Prid dy saw Puillip at Madison Tuesday and made for him. Phillips tried to escape by running, and with the offi cer a few yards in the rear a pretty chase was kept up for some time. But when Priddy realized that the fleet footed distiller was leaving him, he pulled hit gun and shot several balls into mother eartb, not aiminor at pin ups at all. The Utter did.

The postponed annual meeting of the Industrial and Immigration Asso ciation will be held at the court house on Monday night, August 21, at 8:30. The regular time for this meeting coming as it did in the midst of prepa rations for gala week, it was deemed wise to postpone until after the festiv ities of that occasion were over that we might have a full meeting of the members of this association and its friends. It is desired by the manage ment to render a full and complete ac count of their sU wardship. New offi cers will be elected at this meeting, and everyone interested in the growth and developmentof Greensboro should attend and use his best judgment in selecting such men as are in a posi tion to use their time, money and in fluence in developing the city's .manu facturing interests. We would advise that Mr. M. V. Richards, land and industrial agent of the Southern Railway, formerly occupying the same position with the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and one of the highest authorities on indus trial progress in the United States, has consented to be present at this meeting and deliver the address of the evening. Please let the association have your cooperation in making this meeting a success and in laying plaDs that will greatly increase its usefulness during tie next year. W. M. Barber, J. S.

H- has suffered greatly. The prosecution closed with the ex amination of General Rogpt. He re fused to explain the course of his re lation with the H nry forgery on tie ground that it would betray secrets f the military service. Magistrate Ber t es made a strong case for the de fen so and reiterated his conviction of Dreyfus' innocence Suddenly, with out investigation, Mme. Henry rushed t thestand and vehemently denounced Burtues as "Judas." She declared t at her dead husband knew thit Drey fus was a traitor. The audience all laughed at her. Colonel l'icquart then entered upon a detailed account of hi i lvestigations of the charges agains Dreyfus and the Esterbazy plot. Piquart's evidence was very clear and d- hnite and look up the seriatim. All charges made against him wre answered each wl ether involved in the D'-eyfus cae or not. Roget grew very restive daring his cross examination, especially when he was questioned about Esterhazy. The prisoner rose after Roget's examina tion and emphatically denied point blank some of the general's evidence He 9aid that he had never tr ie d upon a map any plan of concentration on mobilization of French troops, no- ever had any knowledge of the details of the movements nor plans of distri bution of various units throughout the departments. PAID TO QUIT. The Late Dispensary Clerk Gets Salary to Do Nothing. Our readers will remember that on Tuesday we printed a squib announc ing tha1 Mr. Jno. B McCauley, clerk at the dispetsary, had resigned. That was all the news we had about it. It transpires, however, that the res ignation was handed to Mr. McAlis- ter, chairman of the board at ll:4o to take effect at 12 o'clock, noon, thus giving only fifteen minutes notice- Mr. McAlister at once secured the services of Mr. F. N. Tate, and a few minutes after the retiring clerk closed up, the chairman met him going from the dispensary, got the keys and the place was reopened, having been closed onle five or ten minutes, instead of an hour, as has been erroneously re ported. Additional color, is added to the transaction by the fat that Mr. Mc Cauley is now telling that he gets the same amount of pay to walk the streets that he got as dispensary clerk. In other words, according to bis own statement, he was hired to quit nr. William B. Hill Dies Suddenly. Mr. William B.

Washington, August 17 Represen tative Bankhead, of Alabama, was among the prominent arrivals in Washington Wi dne.-day morning.

Mr Bankhead is much p east;d with his prospects, and io add tiou to receiving a large sup port from the Gulf States, he will also have the support of teviral represen- t .tives from the other Southern states, and a'so has as-u ranees of the votes o s erai eastern ana wesu rn uieuj- bero of the house The Alabamiau nas Ihe support of Ke( resen ati ve Baily, and in the event that the lat ter s friends accept his withdrawal from tne held as final, it 8 the belief of Mr. Bankhead's fri nes that he will receive the votes of ieai ly, if not all, ih : entire delegation from Texas, with the exception of Air.

Mr Ba ikhead has been mentioned prominently since the Morgan episode a-j a ca nd;d aie for the seat nov held by the latter in the Uuited States sen ate if Mr. Bankhead has any idea of leaving the h'use of repress niatives and seeking higher honors, he keeps the fact to himself. . In conversation the other day he stated thdt he is not a candidate for the senate, and expects to remain in thi house of representa tives durir g the next two years at least.

The Ninth district, he says, is natur lly a republican dis trict, although iu State elections it always goes Democratic. The Washington reception to Ad miral Dewey will be national and not local in its character. While, of course, the arrangements for the affair are in the bauds of a local committee, the president and government are co operating. Already there are many indications that a very large crowd will come to Washington on the occa sion, and although the reception i irore than a month off, air- ady appli cations are boing received .rom per sons who intend coming, for quarters Among the applieatious received, is one from Fargo, North Dakota, which ohows that even as far distant as that the Washington receiti n is being looked forward to with interest. Per sons therefor , who contemp'a'e com ing to Washington to see Admiral Dewey would do well to get their ap- plicati ns in for quarters early, al though no fear is felt but that all who visit the Nat'onal Capital will be cared for. In addition to having Admiral Dew ey and his officers come to the Na tional Capital, an eif rt is to be made to induce the s cretary of the navy to permit the entire crew of the Olympia, Dewey's flagship, to come to Wash ington for the event. It Is thought that the secretary of the navy will grant th's request, or at least, if this cannot be done that the privilege will be granted to as m my of the "Tars" of the Olymp'a as can be spared away from the ViSl.
