BOLD ATTEMPT TO HOLD UP Will Abbott l-.n an Unpleasant Expert erce With a Negro. Sunday night about half past six o'clock Mr Will Abbott was going to wards his home on Dunn's Avenue, walking his bicycle, and was at tha cor nrr .of Griffith and Crescent streets, a ben he was approached by a negro who came from the vicinity of the Pine Lum ber company's plant. When the negro got up to Will he he asked lilm If he had a watch, and Ab bott answered him no. Thin the negro asked him how much money he had and he was told that n as none of bis business and was then met with the peremptory proposition that the negro was gol-g to have his money anyway. Tim fellow made a start to grab Ab bott but by a dexterous .move Will pushed bis wheel toward htm and he (the negro) stumbled over the f r jnt wheel and he fell to the ground Abbott gave htm a hard kick and left him lying on the ground ai he mounted his wheel and rode It the rest of the way home. It is reported that the Negroes, Porta gaese and Italians of that m igbborhooi are decidedly dlsagreeoble In their habits and are of a desperate character.

Auto Transit Company Charter. Snow Still on Ground. Books In State Library. Left Wife and Bills Unpaid. Raleigh, December 17 City physician McOehey reports that he today dis charged the last of the small pox pa tients. At one time some persons fesred there would be an outbreak here, but the disease was admirably handled and never spread at all. In fact It was very quickly stamped out. The e are few cases in the southern and southeastern parts of the county, but only one death has been reported there. The Slate grants a charter to the Wil son Auto Transit Company, capital stock $100,000, to build all sorts of ve hicles, and to operate these on highways In the State, as carrier:, both of paaaen gers and freight, W D Young aud oth er local people are the stockholders.

The joint legislative committee tedty concluded the annual examination of the offices of the Treasurer and Auditor finding everything extremely well kept and paid the officials compliments for the excellent clerical work. The com mittee finished late in the afternoon and made up its report to the legislature. The snow in this section seems to be about as deep as it Is anywhere and prob ably it will remain some days. There are two snow belts.as they may be called In North Carolina, one extending from about Littleton beyond Raleigh and then into Chatham county, the other belt lying along near Reldsville. Saow Is generally deeper at these points than elsewhere. J L C Bird of Marlon, who was here today, said only half an inch of snow fell In that section, and added that when it snowed here it was generally too cold to snow there. State Librarian Sherrlll reports 36,- 813 volumes, and increase In five years of over 14,000. There are now almost 1000 copies of bound newspapers in the newspaper rooms The library urges that a fire proof building be constructed The present one is a verry shabby affair and was built by convicts, much wood being used in its construction of tons of paper used for the public printing and tons more of public documents being in the big cellasr. It is certainly a very dangerous place, and a spark would do Irreparable damage. The books have filled all the space. The legislature certainly ought to provide a proper library, and ougnt also to provide a pro per building for the historical collection the Stale arcelves and for public docu ments. Alpheus Vaughn, wli for some months had been the local manager of the Singer Sewing Mrchlne Company here has fied from Haioigh, leaving a note to Ills young wife, whom he mar rled last year, telling her to get along the best she could, a: she would never again see him.

Judge Pnrnell of the Ftderal court holds In the Greensboro Ice and Coal Company case that the traffic, that is the snlpment of coal to Greensboro over the Southern Hallway was lnter-state traffic and that hence the North Oarollna Cor poration Commission cannot regulate it It is for this reason that he makes an injunction perpetual against the Com mission ASKIN December 19.
