R. A. Christenbury, Box 277, Gastonia, N. C. Desperate Deed OF NEGRO BURGLAR Robbery in Hickory; Mur der in Newton Last Saturday morning early stories began to circulate as to robbery in West Hickory. Sifted dewn. the following facts were brought out: Some person or persons attempted to enter the homes of Messrs. J. S. Leonard and Setzer. They broke into the 1 residence of Mrs. Porter, and Miss Mattie Porter was awaken ed by a cloth soaked in some , anaesthetic being thrown over her face. They saw no one. All the doors to the house were open. At Mr. Summey Propsts' the robber took his trousers out of the bed-room into the parlor and stole all the money in the pock- ' ets, about $7.00 The supposition is that the thief went on from here to New ton. There an effort was made to enter the home of Dave Barringer. She phoned-to Chief J. L. Goforth, who came at once. To quiet Mrs. Barringer's fright he left his revolver with her, and having found the man's track, followed it to the home of Mr. Rob Huitt. The burglar started out of the kitchen. As he saw Mr. Goforth, he fired, but missed. The chief, armed only with his billy, attacked the thief, who fired at close range, the ball striking Mr. Goforth in the stom ach. The burglar ran, escaping before help came. Mr. Goforth was carried into Mr. Pink Hol brook's where he lies in a des perate condition. Miss Annie Huitt was found to be dazed from the effects of some drug, probably the same used in Miss Porter's case. Mr. Goforth ha been a splen did officer, and is universally liked and respected in Newton. The state of public opinion in re gard to his opponent through out the county is and which would render it a bad business for anyone even suspected. Threats of vengeance have free ly been made. It is hoped that our people will control their just anger. It is a terrible thing, enough to madden any man, to reflect that a law-abiding citizen cannot lie down at night without risk of life and property by such miscreants as this. While identification is not pos itive, it is known that the man was a negro. 1 LOCAL | Mr. Wiliams Gibson is in town. Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Seagle are with relatives *n Lenoir. Mr. J. H. P.

"Among the participants have been Gov ernors Longino, Lowry and Var daman, of Mississippi; Govs. Northen and Candler,of Georgia, and "Bob" Taylor of Tennessee. Preachers of all denominations have also appeared in the enter tainment, which proves that the "skule" has nothing in it to give the most dignified lady or gen tleman an excuse for not taking part if asked to be a "skollar" here. Many prominent ladies and gentlemen have signified the{r willingness to assist the ladies here and everybody is promised a royal good time when "skule takes up." Drawing in the Pubiic School. Mrs. D.
