WEST SALEU COMES FORWARD WITH MYSTERY Parties Still Digging In Mr. Field Trying to Unearth Quite a stir was created In West S;i lem last night by a mystery that K yet has received no solution. It seems that someone entered the wheat fields of Mr. D. A. Robertson, near Christ church last Friday night and dug " deep hole in the ground. When Mr. Robertson passed the field SalurdiO be noticed fresh earth In his wlieni field and also a mound of fresh earth whirh looked very much like a new-made grave. , Mr. Robertson noticed fresh tra kf about the mound tins' .tracked the tracks of one man In a northerly dlrec dlon and the tracks of two men In a easterly direction. iA partj of men began digging in the ground - where the mound of fresh earth waa seen. The party dug until 11 o'clock last night and finally ran Into an old blind ditch. An awful odor arose upon the atmosphere as soon as the earth was thrown out. They dug away below the blind ditch, to a point very much deeper than. the ordinary grave hut failed to find any thing. Late In .the night the party stopped digging, the earth being soft T eilEBIIlE PRESBYTERIANS THIS WEEK Will Convene in Greens boro Thursday Many Men of Distinction A re to Be in Attendance.

Little, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, Selma, 'Ala. All the sessions of the assemhl) are open to the public, and It Is ex pected that, many Presbyterians- of Winston-Salem will avail themselves of the opportunity of seeing something of the proceedings of this great body. Preceding the meeting of the Assem bly there will be two days of excep tionally Interesting' meeting nndet the auspices of the Laymen's Mission itr'PMovemeii'nrriir the Presflornrt Brotherhood.

Robertson's Wheat It Theories Advanced. underneath 'them at that time, as If It had Ween recently thrown In. The ditch has been closed for a number of yenrs. - t ' There are a large number of tlico rb'H In regard 'to me queer event. Some' think that a murder was com mitted last fall and the remains burled at his spot and that the murderer or murderer, being afraid that the body would b.. found here, came by. night and moved It away. w Another theory is that there was a buried treasure In the ground at this point, and that the men dug here to secure it The party has been digging at the spot all day trying to unearth the mys tery, but a telephone message from that point received Just before going to press states that the bottom of the hole has not yet been reached. The digging operations will be continued until solid earth is reached. Excite ment In the Immediate neighborhood is very great. Unless there Is some thing found in the hold on which to base a clew, tbe'roystery will proba bly never be made known. 1 HEI GRATER :. DHEWBY EI . mil BLOiiS IS L RALEIGH. My 1 Mr. George B Crater, former business manager of the Raleigh Evening Times. nd now of the business staff of the Georgian. Atlanta, whose householj goods weie attached here last werlc by Receiver Pace, of the Times Publishing ivnu pny, on the ground that Crater had. while business manaKer. overdrawn bis account $1.2iU and b President John C. Drewry, on a note fur which Drewry had endorwd fr Ct ter and had to pay, la here to d.-frml himself against the charges and pro tect Bin Interests. In conference be tween Crater, hi attorney and Jim. t Drewry, Receiver Pace and their attor neys. Crater made aa assault upon Mr Drewry, and but for the Intervention of others In the office' a serious hand to-hfnd encounter would have result ed. As it was, not more than one blow each passed and neither was hurt Mr. Crater asked the pardon of thw gentlemen for precipitating the disor der, but declared, hi dtermlnation to settle scores with Mr. Drewry on (he street. He claims that the present management of the Times credited him with only .! per month and that If the proper salary credits are entered his account will be even. He has glyen a bond whereby the sheriff has released his household goods from attachment during the pending litigation. Mr. Drewry refused to answer any questions by Mr. Crater ss to his (Crater's) . business relations with the Evening Times. Mr. Drew ry's refusal was always on the ground that the affairs of the Evening Times had passed out of hl han.U to Recelv er Pace. Mr. Crater aays he will be here several diiys, and prooses to fight the matter out for a complete vindication.

SIIOPILlflTOiTS UPflESSlOriS AS RELATED President of McravLi Mis sion Board Tc!!s cf Influ ence for Good Extend ed by United States in theCanal Zone. A last very interesting service waa helj night In the HiHiie Moravian church, when Bishop llauiltion, prod dent f the Board of CVIoravlan MU sions, who has Just arrived from an exit-nik-d tour of mission fields !n Ihe West Indie, and Central America. I sue bis Impressions of tie hiHtiem-tt tor good extended by the fulled States In the Canal zone illefore tw inning his remarks Bishop liatiilltou st:'ed that what he would have to nay would lie simply au informal and fain Mar talk; however he would give a regnhir missionary address on next Sunday evening Ukhi the occasion of the Women's Missionary Socleiya iovefeasi. t,, which a gem-rul .nvltii (Ion to Ihe public will be given In sprakliiK tit the conditions 1.1 the numerous nil-xUm sinlloiis of I ho various Maud? of tlu West Indies, thrt bishop said that lu educating a tiu'iv West Indian ministry, the Moravian churvh was well to the front of other denominations, lie also sisike o' the splendidly efficient work of his flat mate, Theodore Clemens, and Itev. J. Helnke, the latter proving his rapahll! ties In the great Kingston ratasir. pho of January of last year, lie went on to say that Moruvlan servant an I workmen were always In demand, he Ing far more decent and cowtclettiloi'.X ly Industrious tbuu the rest of the ni Uvea. Bishop Hamilton said that when hU ship touched at Colon and he found that he should have to wall In that city from Monday till Friday, befoM the ship would be ready lu resums ber Journey, he was distinctly disap pointed, for having read In varl"Mu newspapers, and magazines of the fear fully wretched and unsanitary condi tions of this place and also Of the. badly managed work on the big canal, be was strongly itrejudlced. Whet, however, he wa shown the amazing Improvements and the fine organiza tion under which work on the greac canal Is being done, he was lost It astonished admiration. He said It was not his pur)tse to spesk of the remendous- engineering feals of Ihi work or of the difficulties to be over come, one of them being ihe grading of a six hundred and sixty foot till!; another the damning of a river to form a lake, six million barrels of ce ment being required to face said dam. As to Improvements In sanitation, since. the United States has taken a hand In affairs. Bishop Hamilton sail the swamps are drained and at tlmei flushed with purifying salt water; the streets of Colon and Panama are paced and kept clean. Then In regnrJ to the quarlers of the workmen em ployed In the huge enterprise or Con structing the Panama Canal, the seaker said he had supposed there would be camp; that he was aston ished t find no temporary structures, but well built, carefully plannel frame houses, built from lumber brought all Ihe way from Oregon, Some of the houses were designed for single men and others for families; all were fitted with bat lot and hn1 verandas and lialconles entirely en doxed with very fine mesh copper net ting; the same precaution and care for health of the workmen Is exercised for all colors. The hlxhop said he felt pride In his inintry when he saw all It Is doing for the good of the people. In Ihe Canal zone. Here the commission has It4 own Ice plant. Its own bakery, onn ku'-ading machine using CuO barrels of flour at once; and a huge laundry, where there are long rows of disinfect ing machines. Also Colon has a hot- pltal to accomodate "(' patients. whIM one at Panama has 10Mt beds, but best of all they are most of the time half empty, there having been no yellow fever In a long time. There are like wise public schools, as everywhere, where American families live, and any numbr of bright and happy school chlldnm. It did llislmp Ham ilton so much good to find well equipixd V. M. C.
