Greensboro News Raleigh Corres
pondent Thinks Hon. Emmet
Wooten's Chances For Land
ing Honor Are Good.
"Backers of E. R. Wooten of I-e-
noir. for the speakership of the
House of Representatives, declare
today that he has between forty and
fifty of the incoming General Assem
bly pledged to him, and that there is
little doubt about his election," said
Tom Host of Raleigh in a special to
the Greensboro News Monday night.
"In length of service the young Le
noir man ia the senior of any man in
the House except R. A. Doughton of
Alleghany, it is declared, and his ad
vocates insist that the eastern coun
ties ought to be represented again,"
Bost stated. "There have been but
three speakers from the strictly east
ern counties in forty-two years. These
were Judges H. G. and George W.
Connor and O. H. Guion. Mr. Woot
en has served on the judiciary, the
appropriation, the finance, the insur
ance and the educational committees,
and knows every department of the
House thoroughly."
Correspondent Bost mentioned A
A. Seawell of Lee and T. O. Bowie of
Ashe as Representative Wooten'
probable opponents. Bowie, who will
be strongly opposed by the progres
sive wing of the Democracy, will nev
ertheless have the unstinted backing
of Collector Watts and his strong
western following, it is believed. The
presence of twenty-seven Republicans
in the body will make the necessary
majority smaller, but in whose favor
this will work, the latter-day depon
ents say not
Matt II. Allen, representative from
Wayne, and Senator R. D. Johnson
of Warsaw, in Raleigh Monday, gave
interviews in which they stated that
Wooten's long service has admirably
fitted him for the speakership. Both
expect the Kinstonian's election.

Amuck and Attempted
AsHault Upon Sister-
in-Law Before Shooting Sam
Mills Will out Cause.
Further particulars of the brutal
murder of Sam Mills, colored, in
Jones county Sunday evening, reached
the city Monday night
It now appears that Milliard Fra
zier, the negro who shot Mills, was
possessed of a fit of malicious man
ia that led him to attempt to assault
his own sister-in-law before the slay
ing of his innocent victim. Frazier
was crazed with drink of his own
making, and his attempt upon the
wife of his brother, Banks Frazier,
was of the most beastial character.
Foiled in this, he went to the home
of Fred. Bryant, about u mile dis
tant, deliberately picked up a shot
gun, loaded it, and fired it at Mills
who waB sitting with his back to him
the full load entering the buck of
Mills' head. Dan. Frazier, the aged
father of the murderer, was in the
Bryant home and witnessed the hor
rible sight. He grappled with and
took the gun away from the slayer,
Bryant ran from the house and in
formed neighbors of the murder, and
the authorities were notified.
Dan Frazier and Hilliard Frazier
affectionately took leave of one an
other, after which the son left the
house and headed for neighboring
woods, leaving the old man in an
asrony of erief over the slaying he
had just seen executed by his own
son's hand. There is a report that
Hilliard Frazier was an enemy to
his victim because of a woman
but there is no verification, and it
seems plausible that the only mo
tive was a sheer desire to kill.
Officers of Jones and Lenoir coun
ties are making a determined search
for Frazier. His victim left a wife
and Beveral children. Frazier is un
married.

HE HAULED THE FIRE
TO THE FIRE STATION
Asheville, Dec. 13. "Why call out
the fire department when you can take
the blaze to the firemen?" is the line
of argument adopted by Lawrence
Cressman yesterday when he discov
ered that a bale of cotton which he
purchased sometime ago was in
flames. Instead of asking the laddies
to come to his warehouse he loaded
the cotton oh a truck and hauled it
to the central fire station where ho
requested that the water be applied
His request was complied with before
a great deal of damage was done.

Raleigh, Dec. 14. Deputy Marshal
Gaaton Dortch haH returned from At
lanta, where he recently took twenty-two
prisoners for the federal pen
itentiary service.
Mr. Dortch had thirteen from the
Raleigh court, and this number was
augmented by convictions from Wil
mington. A special car was provided
for the trip, but after reaching
Greensboro the young deputy insisted
upon another and a vetter coach and
received it. Very few of the men
sent to Atlanta are to serve long
terms.
