Greensboro Banks Will tfot
Keep Open After Dinner on
Saturdays.
Hereafter the banks of the city wiil
close on Saturday at 12 o'clock. Every
one who intends getting money from
thP hanks on Saturdays will do well
to bear this fact in mind. The rea
son tor this change in the hour lies
in the fact that Saturday is a legal
holiday, and drafts cannot be legally
protested on that day. The banks in
large cities close at 12 o'clock on Sat-
nrriavR and Greensboro, now a large
city, will do likewise. This change in
the hour does not affect the People's
Bank, which will , keep its customary
MOB ATTACK BY STRIKERS.
RAILROAD EMPLOYEES DRIVEN OFF
AFTER BEING SHOT AT.
Men of the Southern System Stormed in
a Car at Columbia, S. C Tied Non-Union
up and Drove Them Out of Town Four
of the Mob Wounded.
Columbia, S. C, June 24 The first
blood shed in a strike riot in South
Carolina was spilled this morning at
4 o'clock in the Southern Railway
shops in this city. These are large
shops and the striking machinist have
made strong efforts to keep them idle.
It became known yesterday that there
were forty men at work in the shops.
Many brought from other places had
been induced to desert the company.
Several days agoSupt. Wrelles applied
to the Mayor for policemen to protect
the company's property. This was re
fused, as the Mayor declared there
was no danger. One policeman is on
that beat.
Just before daylight this morning
about one hundred men with faces
blackened or wearing black masks,
attacked the north fence of tne yards
which comprize twenty acres, quickly
made a break and marched in. There
were forty-two men in the yards,
sleeping in two cars. One of the cars
during the night was switched to a re
mote corner and escaped detection.
The strikers advanced on the other car
in which twenty men were asleep.
There was one guard, a man numed
Meyers, walking by this car. He saw
the column advancing and ordered the
men to halt, and tell their business.
A spokesman said they had come to
release men being held against their
will. Twice the guard ordered a halt,
and when the leaders were within thirty
yards he fired both barrels of a shot
gun at the mob. At the same moment
a pistol ball struck Myers in the fore
head, but glanced around the bone.
He got behind cover and used hi3 re
volver, The strikers attacked the car and
called on the men to come out. There
wag no response, and they rioters
opened fire. The car looks as if it
had run the gauntlet of sharpshooters
There are 20J bullet holes in it. The
occupants escaped by throwing them
selves on the floor. Finally all crawl
ed out and were tied up by the strikers
who marched then north, by the South-
ern's tracK ior iwo miies, oeauus
. . i . a "i t a.:
everyone along the way with sticks
and pistol barrels. The non-unionists
were all badly cutjup. The one police
man begged the strikers to .be merci
ful.
Two hour3 later an engine with the
master mechanic and yardmaster went
up the road and between the three and
seven-mile post picked up nineteen of
the beaten men. Onlv one refused to
comeback.
A half hour after the attack two phy-
sicans received hurry calls. They re
ported attending four men wounded in
thigh, abdomen and head If they
know the names of the wounded men
they will not give them
On application, Mayor Earle detailed
a squad of policemen to guard the
shoD. Thev are now on duty. Me

would not allow them within the yards.
It is believed at least a half dozen
strikers were wounded by Guard My
ers.

U. S. DEPUTIES DRIVEN AWAY.
MANY SHOTS WERE FIRED AT THEM
BY THE STRIKERS.
A Posse of Officers Who Were Endeavor
ing to Serve Judge Jackson's Injunction
on the Striking: Miners in West Virginia
Made to Seek Safety in Flight.
Huntington, W. Va., June 24. To
day a possee of United States depu
ty marshals, led by A. C. Hufford, o?
Bluefield, were fired on by the strikers
snd forced to fipp from the coal fields
at Mattewan. Yesterday afternoon
the marshals, set out from Bluefield
to reach the scene of the miners' riots.
".Vithin 20 miles of Thacker they found
that they could proceed no further by
rail on account of the flood. They
struck out across the mountains en
countering almost insurmountable dit
ficlties and late Sunday afternoon
reached the ena of their journey. Pro
ceeding to work, they began serving
notices of the injunction which had
been issued by Judge Jackson.
A mob of strikers followed armed to
the teeth with firearms. On all siacs
could be heard the cry, "down with
government by injunction!' Men
threatened them with their weapons,
women called down the vengeance of
heaven upon them and children hurled
stones. When nightfall came notice had
been served on the strikers of all the
coal companies, but one and that was
to be served at Lick Fork Coal and
Coke Company, at Thacker. Fearing
an ambush they waited until morning
?nd early today set ut for Thacker.
Some time before noon they attempted
to serve the injunction papers at the
above named colliery. A mob followed,
enranged to desperation at the sweep
ing character of the injunction. One
reckless fellow fired the first shot and
quiCk as lightning the mountain sides'
echoed and re-echoed with resounding
reports that folowed the crack of 20 or
30 rifles.. The deputies were forced
eo take refuge in flight and then barely
escaped with their lives.
The strike situation is asuming a
dangerous stage. Sheriff Hatfield has
withdrawn all his deputies because it
is said he does not believe in the policy
'being used to put down the strike. The
United States marshals have been left
alone and afted being chased from the
fields today it is believed that they
will be strongly reenforced and ready
to fight when they again appear to
enforce the injunction.

Famous Blind Tom.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The Star Theatre was filled last eve
ning, when the famous negro wonder,
Blind Tom, accomplished many thiDgi
in the way of piano playing. While
Tom did many things that were remark
able, the most wonderful was his play-
1 ig of an air that he could not have
heard before. He invited any man io
the audience to step on the stage and
play any selection he chose and h
would repeat it rigat after him. Mn.
Wilson G. Smith, the composer, accep
ted the invitation and played one of Us
own compositons as yet unpublihed,
and of so recnt a date that it hat had
no public performance anywhere. The
blind negro sat down on the stool as
Mr. Smith had left it, and repeated it,
every note being true and correct. He
also played Gottschalk's 'Last Hope"
Rossini's "Moses of Egypt," aad sev-
era other numbers. He also repeated
a speech he had heard in 1860 flail vrod
