Talbert and other Salis bury officers, made a trip Into David son county Wednesday morning for the' purpose of taking three deserters, who were known to be defying the of ficers. Trouble was expected and the posse went prepared, but the men were taken somewhat unawares and no resistance was encountered. The men were brought to Salisbury and will be taken to Campe Greene today and put into military service at once. A Lexington dispatch tells of the arrest of the three brothers as fol lows: . ,. Walter, David and Otha Nifong, three Davidson county draft deserters, were arrested by a posse at an early hour -his morning at the home of Samuel Nifong, about 13 miles north of here. Within reaching distance of the three young men, who were sleep ing in the rom, were three double barreled shotguns loaded with BB shot. Three hunting coats were filled with BB's and buckshot, with several heavy bird shot shells. Nearby in the same room were four powerful pistols and a plentiful supply of ammunition. About 300 rounds of shells and cart ridges were confiscated by the offic ers and brought herewith the boys. Samuel Nifong, father of two of the, deserters, was arrested and brought here, where he was held for Federal count under $1,000 bond by United States Commissioner John H. Moyer. The three deserters were carried to Salisbury this afternoon and will be taken to Campe Greene tomorrow by federal officers and turned over to the military authorities. Deputy Marshal H. C. Trott, of Sal isbury organized the raid and associ ated with him were Deputy Marshal G. M. Thompson, of Lexington, Deputy Collector F. C. Tolbert, of Salisbury, Government Inspector J. M. Newton, of Thomasville, Special Offi cers A. L. Nash and David Graham, of Salisbury, Deputy Sheriff Fred C. Sink, of Lexington, Deputy Sheriff L. Newsom, of Forsyth, and C. F. Caudle and A. H. Harrison, of Lexington, posse met at Winston-Salem last night and left before daybreak for the Nifong home about eight miles from that city. Arriving just after daybreak, the officers made a dash and surrounded the home, where re sistance was expected, while three e- rtered the home quickly and proceed ed upstairs, kicked the door open and arrested the three men who were standing in the floor partially dressed, but who made no attempt to use their weapons. The three men had repeatedly tola their neighbors and others that they would resist arrest to death, and it is reported that they went about heir work in the community heavily armed, stopping at times to engage in target practice to improve their aim. Th three men had been offered practical immunity to come up several days ago, when 12 others from the county responded, but they refused. Two other deserters associated with the Nifongs escaped before the posse reached their home, but it is believed they will come up and surrender. Officers here are much pleased thar the capture of the trio was attended by so little trouble. NOTICE TO CREDITORS. Having qualifies as administrator of the estate of J. D.

WANTING JOBS WITH NCREASED MONEY Southern Railway is Having Many Applications for Work Since Pay Increased Many Spencer Men in the Service of - the Nation. (By A. W. Hicks.) I Spencer, Aug. 1. Since the big increase in wages was announced ; for all railroad workers throughout ! the United States it is said the offi- ' ces of the Southern at Spencer have, been almost swamped by applicants for jobs of various kinds. One rail- i road head was heard to remark that his office was receiving about 500. j applications a day as compared with j a dearth of workers some two weeks ! ago. The same man stated that grease-wipers, which are considered' about the lowest class of railway ployes, are now making from $85 to $90 per month under the new wage scale. He also registered a good natured complaint that some of the men are neglecting their work to figure up their "back pay." which has been allowed them by the gov ernment since January 1st and which in many instances amounts to more than $500 per man, enough to buy a small farm. Spencer has furnished more than 1G0 of her young men now in the army service. It has also been as certained that Spencer men are to be found in every branch of the service, the regular army, the navy, aviation corps and every other branch. There is now a very no ticeable dearth of young men in th town. A lady coming from a distant city for a short stay here admitted that she was on the look out for a real good fellow since the young men in her town had gone to war, but was informed by the newspaper man that Spencer's young men are also in the very front ranks of the army. Spencer also has the distinction of furnishing the first North Caro linian Jesse Blair, to meet death by a German bullet. This occurred in March, 1917, Mr. Blair having gone with a Canadian regiment to the battle front. Mrs. A. F. Newcomb and Mrs. S. A. Newcomb of Spencer are visit ing relatives in Albany, Ga. Mrs. M. J. Cooper, of Charleston, is the guest of her son G. N. Coop er in Spencer. Miss Kate Caddell and Mrs. C. J. Dellinger, of Carthage, are visiting a brother, H. C. Caddell, in Spen cer. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Hatley of East Spencer, have gone on a long motor trip to Richmond and Norfolk where hey will spend a short time. with a son, Mr. Everett Hatley, now in the naval service. R. L. Sharpe made a hurried mo tor trip to Charlotte Tuesday af ternoon. Mrs. J. L. Smith and childr are spending a mmir. at ilendersonvilie v.ith friends. Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Stevenson have returned from a visit of u month to the mountains near Ashevillo. W S S : 1- MR. VANDERFORD BURIED. Popular Salisburian Laid to Rest on Wednesday Afternoon The funeral service over the re mains of the late Thomas H. Van- derford, Jr., were coiducted from the home of the deceased's parents on Fulton street Wednesday after noon at 3 o'clock. A large number of friends gathered to pay a last respect to the friend who in life had been respected and much beloved. Services were conducted by the pas tor, Rev. W. A. Lambeth, of the First Methodist church, assisted by Dr. J. C. Rowe and Rev. Warren W. Way, of St. Luke's Episcopal church. Beautiful tributes were paid the deceased by Mr. Lambeth and Dr. Rowe, each spoke tenderly of the many noble qualities of heart and soul possessed by the deceased, and of the extreme sorrow felt by so many who loved him for these noble traits. The beautiful floral offerings gave mute but extensive testimony of the fact that Tom Van derford was loved throughout the community. Following the services at the home interment was made in the Chestnut Hill cemetery and the new made grave was. banked w:ch beautiful flowers, laid there by lov inging hands, remembering with tear stained eyes that they too "had a friend." WS S SALE OF LAND SPLENDID SUCCESS. The aucton sale of lots, subdivision of the Joftmston. farms, owned by Mart P.
