MISS WOOTEN TO TEACH IN KINSTON SCHOOLS Miss Kathleen Wooten of this city has been selected to teach In the pri mary department of the city schools.

She is regarded at an especially competent young in structress, and has been very efficient in the rural school at Coahoma until now. , , . ' , v Louina Boyet, a middle-aged ne gresR, penniless and friendless, told a pitiful tale of woe to the sheriff here this morning. The woman is a cripple. She declared that Phoedocin Warren, another woman, hud been brought into her home near Dover, about six months ago by her hus band, Nathan Boyet. The guetit, who had left her husband, had unurped Louisa Boyet's place in the hounehold and its mastcr'H affection. The wife resented this, and Monday was driV en out by the usurper. The victim said the Warren woman came into a room where she and her blind mother were, and threatened to kill her. She went out of a window, and heurd her son calling to Nuthun Boyet to assist him in disarming the Amazon. Louisa Boyet departed from the vicinity, went to Dover and was advised to see the "sheriff." She started to walk to Kinston, where the only sheriff of her knowledge was located. A passing farmer took her into his wagon and brought her into the city. When she reached the courthouse she discovered that she had come to Kinston on a useless mission, since the rase was In the jurisdiction of tho Craven county sheriff at New Hern and Sher iff Taylor could take no action in the matter. A warrant was issued today for three brothers, Simpie, Zackie and Jim Howard, who are alleged to have assuulted Bradic Brown at a country purty at Noble's Mill. The Howard's and Brown are all residents of Wood ington township. According to Brown's story, he does not know why he was attacked. The brothers, he I nay Of tncu wJt mm i .w house in which the party was being held, but he, suspecting trouble, re fused to go with them. They made themselves obnoxious in the house and a friend of Brown's persuaded him to leave to prevent a scene. The How ards followed and assaulted him. He was severely beaten on the head with sticks and his coat was nearly cut to pieces, according to his statement.

Railroad, with about two exceptions these being trains which wait or northern connections , at Goldsboro are running on time even this near b Christmas, and despite the fact thu the holiday passenger traffic has se In good and heavy already. It Is not ed that usually, except on Christma Eve alone, the A. C. L. passenge; trains make about as good time a' this season as at any other on the rur from her to Weldon. NEGRO WIFE ASSAULTER ESCAPED FROM OFFICER? A member of a local furniture con cern doing one of the biggest busi nesses in the eastern part of the State said Monday night that busi ness, so far as necessities is concern' ed, would be better after January 1 than before. This opinion certainly is not generally held, for there have been some who, even after dcliliera. tion, have vouchsafed that it would be "corking dull." The furniture deal er believes that the tobacco money has been used by most of the planters in meeting the heavy obligations falling due In the fall and early winter. There has not been a great deal of cotton sold, he says, not more than a very small percentage of the big crop and when the planters get to turning this looso they will expend the pro ceeds of the sales on the things they need for the coming year. There has been little extravagance the past fall, and even the present Christmas buy ing, the furniture man says, is being economically done, just as The Free Press has previously noted. "The con ditions growing out of the war arc teaching our people a lesson more val uable to them than the monetary loss on the cotton crop," he agreed. Officers in an automobile late Mon day spotted Hazard Edwards, a ne gro who on Sunday night shot hi: wife in the arm at a house in Vance township, but lost him. Edwards di a remarkable bit of sprinting for r couple of hundred yards until a con venient copse of woods offered hin an opportunity for concealment. Tak Ing to the woods, he made good hit scape, although he was tracked fot some distance. ENGLAND RESERVES RIGHT TO SEARCH. IMPROVING INTERIOR OF THE HOTEL TULI .

London, Doc. 21 No definite agree ment has been reached whereby Eng. land will refrain from searching ships which leave American ports with statements from English consuls that they are carrying no contraband. England Is willing to accept these statements where there is no reason to believe cargoes may have been aug mented at sea, but long negotiations between England and America have resulted in no positive understanding. It is stated authoritatively that con sular inspections in most cases would expedite shipments greatly, ns the number of suspected cargoes is com paratively small. OLD ELI'S SONS TROD THE BOARDS AT ALBANY CATHOLICS CAN EAT MEAT ON CHRISTMAS. The Roman Catholics in Kinston have learned, some of them at least, that they will be permitted to eat meat on Christmas and New Year's days, although both fall on Friday. The two Thursdays preceding the hoi. idays, however, must be observed in their stead. A papal decree, issued within the past few years, permits of this. The Romanists are so few in number here though, that even if the decree had not been issued by the late Pope, the fish market would not be materially disturbed on either of the two days. . ' .
