Mr. White went to the man s house corner , or rouocs ana Jones sh eet, with a search warrant to look for. some fire arms which had been reported stolen, and were stored In in his bouse.' The woman In the house allowed the officer to .make search but nothing was found of in criminating nature.

He had leaped out the second story window to make good his escape. White pursued the man who had considerable of a lead. The negro dodged behind a tree and when Whlto was within a few feet of him, he pulled his gun and shot. . The gun was loaded with bird shot and the officer was bit in three or four places on the head. The wounds made were paluful but not dangerous. , Simmons has not yet. been . found but a charge rests against him now far more serious to anything that had previously been made.

IMPORTANT TEST CASE. of Supreme Court Will Decide Fate Distiller Agents Cases Today. Special to Journal. Raleigh, April 8. A state case of general interest will be argued tomor row in the supreme court. State vs. Hanna, from Davidson. He was con- ket of magnificent glowing jonquils and smilax, which in their fresh fra grance and beauty were typical of life's spring-time, hope. and happiness and were especially appropriate upon this occasion. For each guest there was a buttoniere of jonquils and a souvenir hand-painted Jonquil place- card. A very elaborate course luncheon was served, the color scheme of yel low and green being effectively ex pressed throughout. At the last, the were not women alone. One well known man wore one of his sealed bags around under bis arm pits for three days, supposing his forty dol lars in paper were sewed up or seal ed up in it. Upon the day set for opening the bag, it happening the day with him as with all the others that Vautare had eloped, his two twenty dollar bills were gone and two pieces of newspaper the same size were there. The old fraud was very liberal with tips and presents, and had given the little boy who accompanied bis father on the occasion of having the charm of increasing his pile worked, a half silver dollar as a present for "such a bright sharp looking little fellow," The parents of the youth were equal ly well pleased as the little boy with this evidence of appreciation of talent from a perfect stranger and told the circumstance to the neighbors. After the fellow and the father's forty dol lars were found both to be certtalnly gone, the mother took the little fel lows fifty cents away from him, threw It in the fire, saying she was afraid the keeping of it would bring more bad luck. that REPRODUCED vlcted in the superior court of selling liquor Without llceni and ' appealed 1 engagement WS8 informally announ He represented a Danville distillery and took orders and money for whiskey which was then shipped di rect to buyers.

At the William Jennings- Bryan Anniversary Club's banquet to be given here Wed nesday itts expected that his candi dacy fornomlnation to be president will be announced. The saddest case of all was where a charming young lady, pos; sessed with a consuming desire to know exactly her fate In a certain direction wherein a worthy suitor was interested sought to force the veil of the future by temporarily borrowing her mother's $500 diamond ring. As it would have to be sealed in the Htr tie bag but three days, she did not advise her mother as to taking It, her adventure being of a nature as to be of no prospect according to the plam- Ist if it were made known to a mortal soul, himself not excepted. So the ring was given the fellow, who while praying and looking the young lady iu the eyes, put the box in the little black bag, sealed the bag double, handed it to her, and she wore it next her heart until hearing of his flight she opened it and found a small clear stone In the box Instead of her mother's diamond, The story of the married lady who was buncoed of a S350 ring has al ready been told, but her loss was not a circumstance to that of the young lady. It is all well enough for folks who have not been buncoed to throw off on these good people, and say they are entitled to no sympathy for being so green, superstitious, etc. But this fellow understood human nature, and that through us all runs a streak of superstition of some kind and he worked them according to their bent, as well as his. R. C. Chandly of Haywood county, who has been a very popular office deputy marshal In Marshal MlUIkan's offlec here for several years, has re signed his position and will be suc ceeded by. a young son of Mr. J. J. Britt of Ashevllle. Mr. Chanty's many friends here regret to see him down and out, but recognize the fact there are others to be provided for In such matters, Mr. Britt seeming to be pecu liarly fortunate. Another very Impor tant change In the marshal's office force is rumored but Marshal Millll kan was absent today in Ashevllle and the report could not be verified, hence no names will be mentioned: The Biblical Story Vividly Impressed en the Minds of All. A Splendid Show That All Should Wit '' - ness. . The mind of man is constantly de veloping with some new wonder with : electricity to impress his fellows with the possibilities of the mysterious fluid. While its uses In the mechani cal world cover a great field, when it Is appropriated for scenic phenomena it gives more of a sense of awe than when applied In any other way. Mr. A. L. Pierce whom many people in this city know as a premier amuse- -ment manager has taken up the' idea of Illustrating Creation, and has an equipment similar to that used at the exposition at St. Louis in 1904. Now his exhibition is the only one of the kind outside of "Dreamland" on Coney Island. , In Mr. Pierces show there are 26 people employed and the operation of mechanical effects is as near perfect as well can be. There is no irrev erence or blasphemy in this entertain ment, but every thing is copied as near as the imagination can fancy from the description of the first chap ter of Genesis. The evolution of the absence of matter to the presence of matter is faithfully depicted. The most thrilling being the electrical dis play preceding the appearance of the first light called day. It is a per formance that to be appreciated must be seen, and the public will surely get their money's worth by attending this wonderful show. ; : The people are clever and polite gentlemen and ladies and there need be no tear by the most fastidious of our citizens to attend. True te South Carolina. With the failure of so many "at mosphere" plays in evidence, the suc cess of "The Clansman" becomes the more remarkable. No one gain-says the fact that the author has caught the true spirit of the South Carolina hill country, Its people of mixed Scotch-Irish lineage, its taoin fl ,H sociations.and its period of turmoil and stress immediately following the Civil war. Indeed, "The Clansman" is based on the bedrock of historical conditions as they existed In Pied mont, S. C, in 18C7. In a wider scene, it is typical of the whole South, for the farce of negro domination and the tragedy of racial conflict were simi larly enacted in every hamlet and city. The purpose of "The Clansman" Is not to revive the passions but to show the lessons of that unhappy period. Its sincerity of purpose has been recognized, and it has been re ceived with equal enthusiasm both in the North and the South. The return of this celebrated play to the New Ma sonic opera house Monday April 15, will be a red-letter occasion. Roosevelt Mast Retract. Special to Journal. ' ' New York, April 8.
