At the Christian Endeavor, Sunday evening the program was given by the young men of the church with Mrs. Dan Hall as leader. On Sunday evening, December 2, the program will be under the direction of Mrs. Sledge and Miss Elinor Cason. The first of a series of Silver Teas, given at Mrs. Thompson’s, Thursday was quite a success both socially and financially. About 60 ladies called for tea. Rev. and Mrs. Wilson, of Hemp, and Rev. George Hanna and family, were the honor guests. Twenty-six dollars was the offering which goes to Elise high school. Polo is the center of the stage at Pinehurst all this week, the tourna ment having begun on the 23rd and last through to the 30th.

He immediately went out, and heard screams issuing from the house of some colored women, one of whom was the wife of the negro Mclver, but whom he had been separated for the past two or three years. Deputy Munns deputized J. A. McPherson, Jack Phillips, and the three started in the direction from which came the cries. They met a negro coming and reeling from side to side, who met Munns and told him to get out of his way, that he was going to kill Peter McMillan, another negro. He then pushed Deputy Munns aside, threw his gun against him, a 45 Colt auto matic U. S. A. model, one of the most dangerous guns manufactured, stuck it to the breast of Deputy Munns, pull ed the trigger, but the gun snapped. In the meantime while working the magazine of his gun, gave the Depu ty a chance to defend himself, and he caught the arm of the negro and raising it above his head when a shot rang out. Simultaneously did the shots of Deputy Munns and J. A. McPher son ring out. The first shot took effect below and back of the heart, the second in the left side of the neck ranging upwards, and coming out back of the head. When the smoke cleared away, Mclver was lying at the feet of the Deputy, flat on his back, and still waving his gun. Dur ing the scrupple, J. L. Thomas lost the bowl of his pipe, but the pipe stem remained in his mouth. Mr. Thomas thinks the bowl was shot out. DO WE WANT THESE ATTRACTIONS? Mr. Picquet tells The Pilot that the engagement of Hackett at the Carolina Theatre next week is purely an experiment. If the folks want entertainment of this character and will patronize the theatre when such things are se cured they will be engaged. But it is impossible for the theatre to make any money in an event of this character as the price for the artist is too high to leave a margin. It is wholly a matter with the people. If they will back the man agement Mr. Picquet will get these excellent musicians. It is hoped that the people will stand by and in that way encourage Mr. Picquet to get others of the Hackett class. man, spent Sunday with Dr. C. D.

In preparing the negro for burial, it was found he had twice been previously shot. The only re deeming quality we have heard about him, was that he was good to work. Now as to the women in the case. Sandy Mclver, the negro killed, had gone to the house where his wife, f i om whom he had been separated, lived. With his gun in his hand, he began cursing her, and told her ho was going to kill her. The old moth er ran between her daughter and former husband when he struck the old woman on the head with the butt of his gun and knocked her down and began beating her unmercifully on the head and shoulders. The daughte began to scream when he pointed his gun at her and told her if she open ed her mouth again he wculd kill her. Then he left to return no more.
