Much Interest In
Probing Murder
Claude Barber and
Golden Parker Still
In Jail; Paul Creech
Is Released But Win.
Benson Held As Ma
terial Witness
That considerable interest
and feeling is being shown con
cerning the murder of J. M.
Royal which took place at his
home near Benson early last
Friday morning, was evidenc
ed by the crowded courthouse
on Wednesday evening at
which time Coroner Kirktnan
^ proceeded with investigations
of the case. For two hours atvd
a half evidence was gone over,
about thirty or forty witnesses
being examined during the
Three persons, Claude Barber,
(golden Parker and Paul Creech,
were being held until the comple
tion of the inquest. After hearing
the evidence Wednesday evening,
Coroner Kirkmun did not ask that
Paul Creech be held any long-e-r.
A warrant had been sworn out
against him, but counsel represent
ing the’state took a nol pros, and
Creech was released Wednesday
night. Parker and Barber are still
confined in jail until further in
vestigation shall be made. The
fact that these men and the mur
dreed man had been seen together
at different times on the night of
the murder, the fact that the au
tomobile tire tracks in the lane at
Royal’s home were identified as
being similar to tracks made by
Barbel’s car, and the fact that
Barber made attempts to borrow a
pistol on the day prior to the mur
der were some of the circum
stances leading to the holding of
these men. Witnesses placed on
the stand testified that about 10:30
on Thursday night a big* car was
heard leaving Barber’s home. Oth
ers saw a large car parked near
Royal’s. Still others heard the dis
charge of a gun about one or 1:30,
and later heard a car engine start
off. Later an (automobile was
heard going toward Four Oaks and
the chief of police of Four Oaks,
about 1:30 or two o’clock, saw an
automobile tuin from the Four
Oaks road toward Benson, in which
the officer recognized Barber, but
did not recognize the man who
was with him.
William Benson was summoned
to appear in the coroner’s hearing
Wednesday night, and when ne
was unable to explain satisfactor
ily the possession of a No. 12
gauge shot-gun, the same type
with which Royal was shot, he was
ordered held as a material wit-«
ness. Yesterday afternoon he was
released from jail under a $2,500
Prosecution of the case is be
ing brought by J. P. Royal, cousin
of the dead man, who has qualified
as administrator. E. J. Wellons
has been retained as prosecuting
counsel. Defendants Golden Park
er and Paul Creech were repre
sented Wednesday night by James
Raynor, while Barber was repre
sented by C. C. Canaday and Abell

It is reported that Mr. Johnson
contemplates erecting two stores
on the lot at an early date one of
which will probably be used by
the Jno. O. Jones Furniture com
pany. The lot, which is located
on the west side of Third street
between Market and Johnston

The town some months ago pur

Kiwanians Hold
Regular Meeting
—•—
Discuss Overture From Sel
ma For Joint Superintend
ent Lights And Water; H.
V. Rose Speaks On Theo
dore Roosevelt.
It was called to the attention of'
the Kiwanis club at its regular
luncheon meeting held yesterday
in the basement of the Methodist J
church that the city commission
ers have under advisement an ov- !
erture from the town of Selma to
employ only one superintendent of
lights and water for the two cit-!
ies, instead of one man for each
town as is now the case. It was
pointed out that this arrangement!
would save each city about a
thousand dollars a year. Discussion
followed in which N. C. Shepard
spoke of the fine service that the
local superintendent gives in emer
gencies and the advisability of
keeping a full time man here be
cause of his availability during
emergencies. No action was taken
concerning the matter.
Kiwanian L. G. Stevens was in
charge of the program yesterday.
He introduced Hon. H. V. Rose
who spoke to the club on the life
of Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. Rose
said that Mr. Roosevelt had dis
tinguished himself as a soldier, a
public official, 1.1 writer, and a
father. During the war Mr. Rose
met two of Roosevelt’s sons who
were fighting* in France, and also
met Mr. Roosevelt’s sister who
went on a pilgrimage to young
Kermit Roosevelt’s grave in France.
KerrrVit was killed while serving
with the Aviation Corps.

of ill health, he was forced to .
stop. He has been a force for the
uplift of his race in this commun

Announce Events
For Chautauqua
Six Big Numbers Including
A Play Scheduled For Nov.
21. 22. And 23 At School
Auditorium.
TVfrs. The! Hooks, secretary of
the local Chautauqua organization,
has received the program to be
given here, November 21, 22 and
23, at the school auditorium, and
the six big events promise to v»e
as interesting as anything yet
brought here.
This year’s Chautauqua program
will include two concerts by the
Christine Bingham Recital Com
pany; a full afternoon’s entertain
ment by the Murrel Poor Duo; an
inspiring and convincing lecture,
“The Modern Tale of Two Cities,”
by Charles Howard Plattenburg; a
full evening’s program of magic
and sand painting by the S. S.
Henry Company; an afternoon of
novelty entertainment by Miss
Beatrice Knapp; and last but not
least a three-act modern comedy,
“The Patsy,” by the author of
“Applesauce,” last year’s Chautau
qua success.
The Christine Bingham Recital
Company consists of Christine
Bingham, popular Philadelphia so
prano, and Patrick Henry Lynskey,
of New York City, tenor. Christine
Bingham varies the vocal selec
tions of her program by playing
her own violin oblig-atos.
The Murrell Poor Duo is said
to be “the little ’ company with
thhe big program.” Mr. Poor en
joys (?) the distinction of being
called “the man with the India
rubber face.” They present a pro
gram of impersonation readings,
songs and combination numbers on
the chimes.
S. S. Henry and Company bear
the reputation of being the most
versatile entertainment company on
the Lycdum and Chautauqua plat
form, for not only is Mr. Henry a
magician of note, but an artist of
novelty and skill as Well. His art
novelty, sand paintings, originated
by him, never fails to elicit the
very highest commendation from
every audience.
“The Patsy” is described as a
three-act comedy of American life
with laughter predominating in
every line. A touch of pathos now
and then is said to remind those
who are convulsed by the humor
of the play of the really serious
lesson involved in its production.
The cast to present the play here
is said to be unusually competent
and the p'roduction will probably
exceed even that of “Applesauce”
of last year.
This year’s program will not bo
without the usual special events
for the children under the direc
tion of a trained leader,—games,
songs, stories, and their own Jun
ior Town government will be com
bined on the last afternoon into
a program given by the children
themselves for the delight and
benefit of their parents and others.

COMPULSORY LAW
WILL BE ENFORCED
Notice is hereby given to all
parents and guardians who have
not put their children and wards
in school that the compulsory
attendance law will be strictly
enforced beginning with the 1st
day of November. Most o^ the
cotton is now out and the six
months schools begfin October
31. Therefore there is no reason
why the children should not be
put in school at once. It costs
the county just as much to run
the school with a small attend
ance as it does with a large at
tendance and unless children are
put in school promptly they
are unable to make their grades
in many instances and this en
tails a great loss of time on the
part of the pupil. It is, there
fore, evident that failure to put
children in school brings a big
loss to the county and at the
same time a great loss to the
children and parents. For this
reason the compulsory attend
ance law will be strictly enforc
ed on November 1st.

DOWN IE BROS. WILD
ANIMAL CIRCUS COMING
Visitors to the great Downie
Bros, circus which will exhibit in
Smithfield one day only. November!
b, are always ^delighted with the
courtesy shown them by a!F the',
employees of the show. Visitors!
are made to feel welcome. They
are regarded as patrons who are :
conferring a favor by their pres
ence. In striking* contrast to the !
treatment of the public by the or-;
dinary show, which seems to re- 1
gard their patrons as interlopers, I
this unfailing courtesy adds great- j,
ly to the pleasure of a visit to
these vast exhibitions. Careful at- ,
tention to the comfort and wel-.
fare of ladies and children is made
obligatory upon everyone connect
ed with the shows by the manage
ment, and so it is that ladies and
children may attend these exhibi- j
tions without the slightest discom
fort or danger if they have no male j
escort.
