Leake G. Covington, last year's chair
j man, is named as county treasurer.
This announcement was made fol
lowing receiptee' information from
Col. Gecrtre H. Bellamy, state chair-
iownsenn ana uore in Kaeiora. ro
lice at that place discovered the ne
gro at an early hour and fired ,sov
eral shots at him, but he escaped un
hurt. He left Raeford in the direc
tion of Aberdeen. Officers at Aber
deen were notified and at nine o'
clock spied the man. After a short
chase, he was captured near the ice
plant here.
Chief Page put the negro in an
automobile, on the rear seat, the
chief and Merritt occupying the
front seat. The negro in the mean
time was searched and apparently
had no arms concealed. While on the
way to the local jail, the negro
whipped out a pistol he had con
cealed in his shirt and ordered the
car stopped. Chief Page drew his
pistol, but the negro fired point
blank at him, he dying almost in
stantly. Mr, Merritt quickly seized
the dead officer's gun and shot the
negro three times, killing him in
stantly. It is believed that the negro was
the man wanted in Siler City and
High Point on charges of robbery.
It is also said that Greensboro police
have been on the lookout f nr a one
armed negro for sometime in con
nection with robbery in that city.

However, in order to' assure the
thirty-three children assigned to
Richmond county from North Caro
lina s quota of their lives during the
next fiscal year, Mr. Deane will find
it necessary to put on an intensive
drive sometime this f winter or
spring. Richmond county is asked to
provide $1,980 to feed, clothe, shel
ter and educate thirty-three of the
State's quota of 3,334. Sixty dol
lars is needed to keep each child for
a year.
These children are now in North
Carolina orphanages at Tre'bizond
and are being given a Christian ed
ucation and taught useful trades.
As fast as they become old enough
they are placed in self-supporting
positions,' but children as young as
three years, of which there are many
in these orphanages, cannot support
themselves. Their parents were mur
dered by the Turks or killed during
the War and the generous. American
people are salvaging an entire nation
3,000 miles away.
. It had been planned to reduce all
quotas this year, but the infamous
treaty of Lausanne, Which threw
1,150,000 adult refugees from Ana
tolia on the hands of Near East
Relief workers, prevented this. Or
phan food stocks . were depleted on
faith that the American public would
replenish 'them 'to pivvent wholesale
starvation on the shores of the
Black Sea. ' '.' -...'.
