Piia 109 Burglary and Attomptod Elurdor HAMILTON STREET THE SCENE OP THE CRIME Last Saturday night Mrs. Wilkerson, who resides at 400 Hamilton street, went out on her iback porch about 1 1 o'clock to look after some chickens in the yard. When she opened the door she found a negro man on the porch who demanded her money. Mrs. Wilkerson told him she had no money and ordered him away. The negro then drew a knife and struck at Mrs. Wilkerson. The blade of the knife struck a pocket book in which there was some coin, checking the force of the thrust. If it had not been for this no doubt the wound would have proven fatal. As soon as Mrs. Wilkerson made an outcry the negro ran away. He was a small negTO and wore a cap, is the only identity obtainable. Mrs. Wilkerson is suffering to day from the effects of the con cussion and the bruises inflicted by the force of the blow. Tli is was a dastardly deed and tJie officers will do all in their power to apprehend the 'would be murderer. Han Found Doad on R. R. Tracks NEAR JAMESTOWN An unknown man was found dead one mile east of Jamestown Sunday night, being killed it was thought by the train. The man was first discovered by the color ed track walker. It is thought that he fell off one of the trains, a Ins injuries would indicate. lie is a foreigner, presumably an Italian. A long distance phone message fn mi Coroner Woods says, that in the absence of any wit ness to make affidavit as to foul play, lie was' not called into the case. There was absolutely nothing on the person of the man that would lead to his identity. The body was buried in the right "I way i the Southern Railway. APPRECIATED The editor of the Knterprisi appreciates fully the honor be stowed upon him by electing him 1 'resident of the N. C. Press As sociation at Lenoir, it is truly an honor as well as a pleasure to serve such a distinguished body We are also under obligations for the many kind words by the brethern, none of which came so close to our heart as the follow ing from Mr. Josephus Daniels: (Raleigh News and Observer.) The convention honored it sell in electing Mr. J. J. Farriss as president for the coming year. This was gratifying, not only to his brethern of the press, but par ticularly to the people of High Point and Raleigh. Mr. Farriss is a native of Raleigh and is a brother of D. C. S. Farriss, presi dent of the Baptist University of IHorida. Thev were both bright bovs. and were educated at Wake Forest College. The new president of the Press Association is the younger brother, and has won as high a place in journalism as his brother has in the church. Mr. Farriss is known generally to the public of North Carolina as edi tor of the High Point Enterprise and as a practical business man, but it is not generally known that he is one of the editors and own ers of the Southern Furniture Journal at High Point, one of the handsomest and most profitable trade journals in the whole South. His old Raleigh friends have watched his promotion and success with great interest, and lligli Point has eery reason to feel proud of him. Mr. Farriss. lias grow n up with the place, and, going there as a young man, he has contributed a large part in giving publicity to High Point which has made it more widely known than any other furniture town in the United States, except Grand Rapids, Mich. AT BOONE There was a very uniipie meet ing at Boone on Thursday, one of the best after meetings we ever 1 attended. It had been advertis ed for two weeks that the editors were coming and there were 1000 people present. The handsome buildings of the Appalachian Training School were thrown open and at 11 o'clock the crowd gathered there for special exer cises. The meeting was called to order bv Capt. Lovell, the fath er of the mountains. Sjieeches of welcome were made by Editor Rivers and Solicitor I.undy. After this Capt. Lovell gave the meeting over to the IVess Asso ciation. J. J. Farriss, on taking the chair, thanked the good peo ple of Boone for such a cordial reception and called on lion. W. C. Dowd to response to the ad dress of welcome by Dr. Few, Dr. Poteat, M. L. Shipman and Dr. Priest. At noon there was an old fashioned country picnic and barbecue on the campus of which over 1000 people partook. It was the most tempting spread we ever saw, a credit to the good ladies of that comunity. Important Clatter Regard ing Taxoo NOTICE TO ALL CITIZENS INTERESTED fi . v. :. r -Notice- My .

TO PUT TAFT IN HOLE Washington, July 3. With a victory for reciprocity assured within the near future the only hitch 111 adjournment plans will come over the question of general tariff revision. The Democrats assert they hae no desire to de bate the wool schedule and the free list lull, and will be satisfied tnerel to have a vote taken on each. There is a disposition among the Republican Insur gents, buweer, to debate these bills and specifically to seek a compromise with the Democrats on slightly increased rates on raw wool and slightly decreased du ties on manufactured products. The thing aimed at is to put President Taft in a hole. If the Senate Democrats consent todeal with the Insurgents and the House wool schedule is amended and passed and sent to confer ence, no one can then tell to what extreme length the session will be draw 11 out THE T0RRENCE Paint & Decorative Co.
