V., i. i Holly Spring ' May 25. We are having dry weather now. At the ball gamo yesterday a colored of the court on the road - have escaped, man was making himself disagreeable. They were located oh Trent road and He had put several drinks inside and de were under the "charge of County Com- veloped into the kind of being that most miesioner W R Bwrington.

Venable, Joe Higgins and finding the driver of the transfer but Lee Trino. Two are from Craven and he turned up after a while and instead of taking the straight road down unr fith street, beat out across lots to National Avenue. Mr. Styron thinking perhaps the driver was going don National Avenue did not become alarm ed until upon reaching the road the driver hesitated and pretended to turn toward the city but whirled fiio horse and went northward an unexpected move.- . . .t.ui.-.-.. - At that juncture the driver turned in his seat and pushed a pistol right under the Constable's nose and the prisoner taking advantage of the ait- uation grappled with him. It was the probable intention of the men to over power the officer but be fought so strenuously, that they were foiled in their purpose whatever it was. Seeirg that Mr Styron was nearly out of the buggj they gave him a shove and sent him clear o( the wheels onto the ground. The officer was stunned for the in stant but arose within a minute and shot after the men who were rapidly disappearing in the direction of Jack Smith bridge. Both negroes are New Bern men and it is only a question of time before they are caught Their case will not be sub ject to leniency and it is nafe to say they will get all that's coming. Mr. Styron'a conduct was nothing less than a faithful officer's could be and his escape from serious injury and perhaps murder is a very fortunate circumstance.

Reunion and Recep tion Follow (Special Correspondence) Greensboro, N. C , May 31. Chief of police Neely has received a letter from lady in Raleigh in which she says, that from published reports of what John B. McMillan said about himself before he died, that he spent some time in Ral eigh last fall. He gave his name there as John Southall, saying his mother was dead and he had two sisters, living. He tried to induce her son, she says, to travel with him, offering him good pay, but never told his business. In McMil lan's effects, has been found a most friendly and affectionate letter written he day after the story of his exploits and arrest in Greensboro was printed last fall. This letter is from a promi nent young lawyer of Raleigh. The writer was evidently well acquainted with McMillan, and had confidence in him, since he offered to come to Greens boro and conduct the defence if desired. It is not thoroughly well established that the unfortunate young man, as his dying declaration, gave only one of half dozen aliases he had used in his check ered career, the name Brett Morey be ing as apochrypal as that of McMillan. fhe proprietor of a hotel here had Mc Millan's trunk which he turned over to them for an unpaid board bill. The trunk and its contents have never been examined, or if papers found there have repealed the secret of his identity those learning it have very properly re peated the dead man's secret. Editor Joe Reese of the Record, re ceived today an interesting letter from an old Guilford resident, who is now a United States offrer at Borneo. The writer says that in his travels about the antipodes, he frequently meets people, who on account of his name, who ask him if he is from North Carolina. Re cently he says, such an enquirer find ing he was from North Carolini asked at once if Jimmie Morehead was still living. The man's name was Walker, and said he went to school with Jimmie Morehead, and that he was one of the most fluent and brightest young men he had ever known, He was much grati fied to learn that Jimmie Morehead was not onlv living, but had developed into a tried and brave soldier, a distinguish ed statesman and lawyer. Col. James T. Morehead. The writer also says, that once du ring his career, on false charges, he was tried before a court martial. That Col. Calvin J. Cowles, attracted by his name, asked if he was from North Car olina, and finding that he was, volun teered to conduct his defence, and he was easily acquitted of all charges. The writer is a negro, Col E. L. Gijmer, of Greensboro. That name Gilmer does the work. Mr. T. A. Gillard, of Siler City died yesterday at St Leo's hospital, where he was under treatment. His remains were shipped to Siler City for inter ment. He was 35 years old. Heart disease was the cause of his death. The deceased was a prominent citizen Chatham and his community will suffer a distinct loss in his death. Capt. J. II Gillard, of this city, a cousin of the de ceased, accompanied the body to Siler City. At a meeting of the Alumnae Assc ciation of the State Normal and Indus trial College Tuesday night, the follow ing officer were elected: President, Miss Etta Spier, of Golds- boro; Vice President, Miss Sarah Kelley, of Charlotte; Secretary-Treas urer, Miss Annie Melver, of Greensbo ro. A new member of the executive committee is elected every year, and MUs Bertha Lee, former President, was elected as a member of 1906 at the meeting last night. Later the reunion took place in the dining room of the Spencer building, where a delightful reception was given.
