Sensation at the
Durham Work House
Baldy Hatchett Says He Will
Run for the Legislature
Silver 'Wedding
" Durham, N. C, Feb. 11. Special.
Col. "Baldy" Hatchett has announced
hat he will be a candidate for the.iext
legislature. In his announcement he
ays that he will be an independent
candidate and will run regardless of
parties or nominations. He maintains
Kh.it he is a candidate until after the
votes are counted on election day and
Thinks he has a chance to win out in
the tight. Col. Hatchett is well known
in Durham and in fact throughout the
state. He is a veteran newspaper mail
and is now a correspondent from Dur
ham. A message from Chief Woodall who
went :o Cincinnati more than a week
ago to get Baumgardner, wanted here
for embezzlement, says he will not leave
Cincinnati until tomorrow. The simple
statement, was made in his message
that Baumgardner would have another
hearins Wednesday and that he would
remain until after tha-t time. It is
thought here that another effort is be
ing made to get' the prisoner back to
North Carolina.
Beginning tomorrow morning there
will be Lenten services at St. Phillip's
church every day for forty days. The
services comorrow will be preaching
-and communion at 11 and 5 o'clock con
ducted by the rector, Rev. S. S. Bost.
Several Durhamitejj went up to Hills
boro 'this morning and attended the
funeral and burial of the late an;ee
Parks, who died yesterday morning. Tte
deceased was about 92 years of age
and was a well known member of the
Masonic order.' His remains were in
terred with the honors of 'this order.
Mr. Parks was one of Hillsboro's most
highly honored citizens. He -left three
sons and three daughters.
The scandal at the county work house,
which was caused by one of the pris
oners giving, birth to a child, reached a
climax this morning. There was much
ugly talk and this morning the woman,
under the direoiion of the chairman of
the board of . county commissioners,
made affidavit that a man by the name
of Frank Clark was the father of -the
child. Clark was sent out a year ago
for stealing and served a term of four
months. He then left here and his
whereabouts at this time are not known.
Clark was an Irishman and it is inti
mated that he has returned to Ire
land. - -
' . The people of the county still believe
that there is something rotten at the
county home; and work house and they
are demanding 'that there be an inves
tigation that is an investigation. If
this is not done they will hold some
body responsible at the next election.
That is a settled fact. Throughout the
whole proceedings, which have been
disgraceful in the extreme, some of
those in authority have taken
the position of defending rather
than showing up the condition of affairs
at the home and work house. -The
step today was the last straw, and
something must be done or else somebody
will suffer. Not one person in fifty be
lieves that the statement sworn to by the
woman has one word of truth in it.
The end is not yet in sight.
On Fridav ' of next week the silver
wedding of Mr. and Mrs. B. . M. Duke
will be celebrated at "The Terrace." th
beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. B. N.
Duke, in Chapel Hill street. A number
of invitations have been issued, and the
occasion promises to be one of the lead
ing social events of the season.

construction will be in the main at
tended by few difficulties and little cost.
At its last meeting, Mrs. Kyle, presi

RUFUS ROBERTS DEAD
Mt. Airy Mourns the Loss of
a Most Valued Citizen
Mt. Airy, N. C, Feb. 10.
Correspondence-of -The Morning Post.
Mr. Rufus Roberts, aged 72 years
aiea at his home near Mt. Airy JSatur
day, February 8th, and-was "buried at
Oak Dale cemetery yesterday after
noon.
Mr. Konerts was one of Surry coun
ty's most enterprising citizens and has
done more to build un and develop our
resources than any other man. In 1871
he bought and developed the first water
power and set the first, wheels, in mo
tion at Green Hill cotton mills and Al
pine woolen mille, and was therefore
the original founder of Green Hill vil
lage. "About the same time he built
the- first hotel ever - built at Mt. Airy
White- Sulphur Springs.- In 1877 he
built and developed the first water pow
er ever brought into use at ' Laurel
Bluff, which led to the erection of the
large Laurel Bluff cotton mills. About
this 'time he engaged in the manufac
ture, of tobacco at this place, which
pursuit naturally led lm eouth in search
of 'trade for the product of his plant
where, in Milledceville. Ga.. in 1880. he
became interested and bought large
farmin? lands And built one nf the
handsomest brick blocks in the old
southern capital city Brakes' - Opera
House which stands today as a monu
ment to his energy. In 1887-88 he built
the laree and beautiful Blue Ridge Inn
at this place, which was burned down
in 1891 and rebuilt in 1892, and m
1892 he built the Planters' brie k ware
house, the largest tobacco warehouse
ever built in this section of the State;
and in 1893 he built the commoaious
brick factory now occupied by the Amer
ican Tobacco Company.
These are only the leading enterprises
in which he was engaged. Many dozens
of small houses were built by him for
the comfort of the men who labored
for him and, as stated, no man ever
opened np and developed so great a
number of enterprises, and thus pro
vided work and support for many hun
dreds of hands. But, like many other
strone financiers, he was swept down
by the panic of 1893 and, owing to ad
vanced age and broken energy, he "was
never"' able to regain his feet. He
