V-i" After dinner-Colonel Roosevelt went to his room on the second floor of the hotel, and shortly before 8 o'clock he started for the Auditorium.

Bryce, Sentenced to Two Years on Chain Gang, Es . capes From Craven Jail USES SHOVEL AND CASE KNIFE Improvised a Rope Made of Blank : ets and Sheets From His' Bed and Let Himself Down Using a shovel "and -a-broken case knife which had been ' given him by Frank Oglesby, a half-witted inmate of that institution, R. H.Bryce, a young white man convicted at the last term of Craven Superior Court of larency and sentenced to a term of two years on the chain gang, picked a hole in the wall of his cell on the second floor of the county jail and made his escape early Sunday morning by climbing and improvised rope made of blankets and sheets from his bed. It is the custom of the jailer to make a tour of the cells just prior to turning out the lights at 9 o'clock every night and on Saturday night Jailer Riggs, who has recently taken charge of the jail, made his usual rounds. At that time everything was in order and he is-sure that the wall in the cell occupied by , Bryce was intact. Shortly after 6 p'clock Sunday morning a colored woman confined in the jail called Mr. Riggs and told him that one of the prisoners had escaped. He rushed into the cell in which Bryce had been con fined and found that he had departed. In the cell with Bryce were three other white men among whom was Harry Huff, serving a four months sentence for an assault. It is the opinion of Jailer Riggs that Bryce had made his escape only a shorttime previous and but for his timely arrival the other men in the eell would have followed him. A search was made for the escaped prisoner but up to the present time he has not been apprehended. Before his arrest he was employed in the local shops of the Norfolk-Southern Railway Company and claimed to have come here from Hamlet, N. C. TEMPORARILY DERANGED, IK- JURES HIMSELF. Capt. George Wallace, who resides on Metcalf street, painfully injured him self by striking his head against a wall and throwing himself down a flight of steps yesterday morning while tem porarily demented. Captain Wallace was injured by a fall several years ago and since that time has not been en tirely himself. He was rational at intervals yesterday afternoon and it is believed that with treatment at a sanitarium in the Western part of the State where he has been taken accom panied by physicians and relatives, his condition will speedily improve. Much sympathy is felt for him and his family because of his affliction. He is abrother of Mayor C. S. Wallace of MoreheadCity. HARD TO GET NEGRO HELP, . According to a statement of various contractors' in the city,1 the question of getting a sufficient supply of negro labor is becoming a serious one. With in the past few months there has been so much building going on in the city that with the advent of many of the negroes to the cotton fields all over the county the supply of help has been nearly exhausted. .The contractors are now paying" $1.25 and $1,50 a day for any class of ldbor able to wield a pick and shovel. It is often the case that the scarcity of labor is caused by the negroes refusing to work, preferring rather to lie around some public place and take life eatsy. - . : Mr. Robert Woodward of Pamlico was in the city Monday.

Prof, Craven has" written to the prin cipals ,of these institutions, explaining - the matter fully and asking them to make an exhibit. Each of the schools would have a seperate exhibit although " all in one department and would each - be under the supervision of one or more teachers from their own schools. At the Fairs held in the western part of the State, particularly that at Greens boro and at Winston-Salem, the ex hibit made by the public schools of the city has proven to be not only interest ing but very instructive and there is no cause why the exhibit made by the local schools should not equal these. The teachers and their pupils are now at work on the articles that will be used in the exhibit and are doing all in their power to make it a success. ORGANIZE DEMOCRATIC CLUB. .
