The local contributions to the
flood fund has not grown materially
in the past 24 hours, despite the call
of ht local committee for an addi
tional $250 or $2(50 to make it

even thousand dollars.
The State's donations totalled more
than $31,000 Friday night-
Estimates by tho War Department
show that nearly $250,000 is needed
in Yadkin and Catawba valleys alone,
to ray nothing of the nerds of other
flood-stricken sections. The Govern
ment has only appropriated $100,000
and the State so fur "has not given
$35,000, so tha need for more money
is very apparent.
It is again suggested that persons
who would like to add to former con
tributions, m view of tho reporting
ous estimates, do so, and persons who
of greater damage than from previ-
have not given anything are invited
to consider the seriousness of the con
ditions in Western Carolina.

ness
It could not be said after the cor-
on?r s inquest i nuay evening wheth
er a white man or a colored man shot
Lazarus Rouse at his home in the
Liddell section last Tuesday morning,
tho injury resulting in his death on
Friday. L'at wnocver it was was mem
ber of a pairly disguised as zebras or
Fiji islanders decorated for a war
dance or something of the sort. That
much came out sufficiently strong in
the evidence, ncivny all hearsay, to
convince the corencr'a jury that there
was something "crooked" about the
faces of the slayer and his compan
ions.- Ssvoral witnesses wero exam
ined. ,Tho coroner and his jury went
into the matter to thresh it out as
fully 'as possible. A post-mortem ex-
cmination was made to avoid having
it to do later on. The load of gun.
shot was shown to have entered the
aids of. Rouse's face, scattering shots
penetrating the brain. The jury stat
ed that Rouse met death at the hands
of a person or persons unknown.
Nicey Rouse, known to the authori
ties heretofore as Celia Rouse, moth
er of the victim and a midwife, told
of the appearance at her home of tho
murderer, who had for a companion
a stripling. It was dark, of course,
at the hour, 1ut Nicsy Rouso evident-!
ly thought sh would have known Jno.
Rouso, fosteT brother of Lazarus, had
thu assailant been that person, as
suspected in -some ;qua.rters, in fact.
acpused., by Lazarus Rouse after the
shooting. The face of the- assailant
was streaked, according to Nicey. Af
ter she hud opened the door to the
man, he declared that she was wanted
at a white home in which the -stork
had visited. He Inquired of Lazarus
Rouse, who was lying on a bed, the
(state of his hsalth, and then threw
up the gun that ho carried and put an
end altogether to the health which he
had been solicitous about. Then per
sons on the outside fired a fusillade.
Sheriff Taylor found 14 cartridge
shrlls that afternoon.
Witnesses who ave hearsay evi
dence and testified to the deceased's
character informed Coroner Wood and
his jury, the latter men picked for in
telligence, that it had boon rumored
that Rouso' had made improper ire-
marks about white girls, had broken
up a colored couple's home, had carn-
;d the dislike of his own race in 'the
neighborhood, etc.
One witness pravo an, interesting bit
of testimony to the effect that ' Joe
Cooper, colored, had tertd him tht hi
met four men 'on 6 road, th;t they
were "strangc-looldng," and had held
im up, making him promine not' to
testify against them and to leave the
community. Cooper fulfilled tho lat
ter promise, certainly; the Sheriff
cannot find him. Cooper, it is said,
id not state that he knew the men,
who appeared 'to be painted black,
with whits pirsteasronu
with white stripes around their faces,
but intimated that he "would have
known them had they not been paint
ed," or in other words that he be
lieved he recognized their voices. It
is not known if Cooper thought them
to be white men.
The officials would like to get up
with Cooper. Opinion in the Liddell
section has changed some. It is now
thought there that negroes took re
venge upon Rouse for his hullyinrj
ways and indecency. County officials
frankly admit they don't know what
to think of the situation. Had John
Rouse, said to have been a "rival of
Lazanis in a love affair, wanted to
get him out of the way, it is not
Jikely that he would have organized a
party to accomplish it, they say. And
as for the accusation by Lazarus, it
is pointed out that the enmity be-,
tween the two might have been deep
enough to cause him to falsely accuse
the foster brother. Besides, John
Rouse proved an alibi. . . ,
About four hundred men, women
and children, three hundred and sev-cnty-five
of whom were operatives of
the kinston Cotton Mills and Orion
Knitting Milla and twenty-five were
officials, members of the office forces
and invited guests, were the partici
pants in a most enjoyable outing to"

agement of the mills for their env
ployes. Managers J. V. Taylor and
T. V. iMoseley, assisted by Messrs.
J. B. Moftcham and D. F. Fort, the.
mill superintendents, had everything
conducive to the comfort and pleasure
of the excursionists arranged, and in
nnple-pib order, and the day ,wa
ideal for the trip. In fact, nothing;
was lacking, and no .untoward inci-
Ji?nt occurred to mar the enjoyment;
of 'the trip to tho -surf.' The pewrt-?
ives of the L'oaufort mills of the same i
control were also on hand. A refresh
ment car was a part of the train and
the "hawkers" of cool drinks, ice
cream, iruits, peanuts, etc., were
