Pieliaiinary beariaf at Jackien today. FUNE8BL LABCElY ATTENDED j Grover R. Bradley, prominent Northampton county merchant and farmer was shot .and in stantly killed on last Monday morning in a pasture at the rear of his home by W. E. Woodfin, a Federal Prohibition Enforce ment officer. The shooting occured immedi ately after Woodfin discovered John Bradley in conversation with his brother Grover and a neighbor named Bowman. Ac cording to the testimony present ed at the inquest held on the scene by Coroner Grant, of Northampton, John Bradley, wanted by the Federal authori ties on a charge of violation of the liquor laws, ran away upon the approach of Woodfin, who fired one shot at him from a 25 calibre rifle. Grover Bradley, ac cording to the testimony of Bow man, the only eye witness to the killing, asked YVoodfin not to '.hoot at his brother, exclaiming “You haven’t any right to shoot h!m; arrest him if you have a warrant for him"’, whereupon YVoodfiin turned and shot him down. Two empty shells were located ninety two feet from the spot where the body was found. An examination of the body by Drs. Aycock and Martin, showed that, the bullet entered the de ceased at the back of the neck, panning out just under the left eye. , - The story told by Woodfin .harflv contradicts that of Bow. man. Be claims that .Grover Bradley turned and shot at him and that the killing was done in self defense. Woodfin also claims to have had John Bradley under arrest when he turned and shot at him, prior to the time when Grover Bradley is alleged to have begun firing. There are many witnesses, however, who were in earshot of the place where the shooting ocrured who state that only two shots were fired. , A Warrant was issued cljarg-' ing Woodfin witlijiJUrdef im mediately after the conclusion of the Coroner’s inquest. Wood fin was arrested Monday night by the Raleigh police at the re quest of Sheriff B. L. Joyner and brought to Jackson jail on Tuesday afternoon. A prelimi nary inquiry will be held in Jack son this morning. It is not cer tain at this time whether Wood fin will be tried by the Northampton county -court or the Federal court in Raleigh. There is considerable local feel ing over the shooting, the "pre dominant opinion being that it was absolutely unwarranted. The deceased was universally liked and at the time of his death had not been charged with any violation of the prohibition law. Mr. Bradley was buried an Wednesday afternoon at the family burying ground in Northampton county ih the pre sence of numerous friends who braved the inclement weather to pay their last respects to the dead. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. E. N, Harri son, of the Rosemary Methodist Church. Ruaalan Crap Acraapa Sola*.

I see. well up In the angle of the broad side gable, shaded by its rude awning of clapboards, as the eyes of an old dame are shaded by her wrinkled hand, the window of Pauline. Oh, for the image of the maiden, were it but for one moment, leaning out of the casement to hang her mockingbird and looking down into the garden—where, above the barrier of old boards, 1 see the top of the fig tree, the pale green clump of bananas, the tall palmetto with its jagged ■ rown. Pauline’s own two orange trees holding up their bands toward the win dow, heavy with the promises of au tumn : the broad, crimson mass of the many stemmed oleander, and the crisp houghs of the pomegranate loaded with freckled apples, and with here ;n 1 there a lingering scarlet blossom. —Cable. WOMAN’S WORLD IS WIDER increased Opportunities for Gainful Employment Are Found by tho Fair Sex. Women are now enfranchised and enjoy almost equal educational oppor tunities with men. They may enter practically all professions and trades, and 21.01 per cent of them are gain fully employed. The passage by almost every state of married women’s property and equal guardianship acts has freed wives snd mothers from the medievalism of the common law. says Beatrice Forbes Robertson Hale In Current History Magazine. Millions of home-making women are organized for cultural, philanthropic and civic euda, which modern domestic conveniences and la bor-saving devices give them leisure to pursue. City homes are smaller and social life Is consequently spent more in public.
