g( August 30; Assessments on County
Property Are Decided
Meeting in special session here last
night, the board of town commission

> orders, leaving several matters open
for discussion at a later date. The
commissioners are meeting again this
afternoon to dispose of certain mat
ters connected with the widening of
Main Street, including removal of the
Britt Hotel ?>orch and gasoline tanks.
A schedule of assessments was or
dered prepared for the county that the
paving costs in front of the courthouse
and the county's home on lower Main
Street might be paid. Through an er
ror or misunderstanding, the assess
ments supposed to have been charged
to the county were never placed on the
books. The matter has been consid
ered by the present board for a num
ber of months, but not until recently
were they assured by county officials
, that the assessments would be cared
for.
W. B. Watts was granted permis
sion to hold a dance here the 30th of
this month, with the understanding
that the rules and regulations govern
ing dances held here be complied with.
W. K. Parker, petitioning the board
for the paving of the sidewalk on the
west side of Watts Street from the
corner of Main to the Smith property,
was told that the program had been
temporarily brought to an end, but
that his request would be considered
before the contractor withdraws his
equipment. U
E. P. Cunningham asked that his
water meter be tested, adding that
something was wrong, as his water
meter regiatered 15,000 gallons last
month.
Mayor Coburn was appointed to in
vestigate the possible removal of the
/niddle support to the railroad under
pass at the end of West Main Street.
It was pointed out at the meeting that
>ome action for the removal of the
pillar should be taken.

HALED TO COURT
I •
Charged With Failing to
Remove Trash From
t Back Door
The local Pender store will be
, closed or the manager locked up if
. trash is allowed to accumulate again
, in the rear of the store, was th« warn
. | mg given E. T. Coley, the store's rcp-
H rc-sentative, by town officials yesterday
. 1 morning.
Allowing trash to accumulate in the
. back lot, the manager «f the «torj here,
. I,was carried before Mayor R. L. Co-J
. i burn yesterday, judgment in the case
II being suspended, however, upon the t
. | defendant paying the cost. ThV man
. ] ager of the store, Mr. Coley, had been
I I warned of the vialtion several times by ■
. I Chief of Police W. B. Daniel and Mr.
. H. D. Harrison, fire chiif, and while
. feeble attempts were made follow, ing
. each warning, to dispose of the trash, j
i the store's operator would, within a
[ short time, allow rubbish to pile up
" again. Yesterday morning the war
. rant was served by Officer Daniel.
At the trial, the mayor found it
r necessary to call down the store man
! ager, who apparently became indignant
when the officials pointed out the ne
| ctssity of keeping the lot clean. Coley
slated that the Pender stores were re
i sponsible for the removal of the trash
and asked the town officials why they
i pulled hint into /court. The mayor
t asked the representative if he managed
I the store, and if he did why wasn't
i the removal of the trash considered as
out of the store's regular duties. It
i is understood that the manager will be
t locked up or the store ordered closed
if trash is allowed to accumulate in
; the future.
During the latter part of May a fire
started in the store's back lot, making
i it necessary to call out the fire com
pany. Since that time, the store rep
resentative had been warned on sever
: al different occasions, and the warrant
i. yesterday was issued as a last resort
to have the store comply with the law.
The arrest yesterday marks a more
strict enforcement of fire regulations,
and similar action will result in other
case, where the requirements are not
met, it was stated-by a town official
tint morning.

tBODY FOUND ON
TRACK IN UPPER
PART OF COUNTY■
No One Saw Train Strike
Him; Find Blood on Pilot
Of Engine at Weldon
LIVED IN* HOBGOOD 
■ ♦ i
Coroner S. R. Biggs Makes Investiga- t
tion and Jury Finds That Victim
Was Killed By Train
Believed to have been hit by an At
, lantic Coast Line train bound for Wel-
J don, the lifeless body of Kai'ly Ed
mondson, young white man of Hob
' good, was found a few feet from the
'tracks about ISO yards on the Martin
' County side last Saturday atfernoou.
I The man's head was split open, but
' no other cuts or bruises were found
! about the body. Two colored men re
turning to their homes via the railroad
| discovered the body and reported it to
officials at Hobgood.
Dr. Leggett, of Hobgood, examined
the body, and learning that it was ii*
this county he notified Coroner S. R.
Biggs. A jury was collected and the
officer made a thorough investigation
that afternoon. Train Dispatcher
Fountain, at Norfolk, was notified of
the discovery of the body, and he or
dered the train examined at Weldon.
Conductor Hawks and his crew, e*-
attuning the train, found blood stains
.on a step near the "cowcatcher." Ac
cording to reports, the members-of the
train crew knew nothing about the
man's death until notified by the Nor
folk dispatcher.
The step where the blood was found
is only 6 or 8 inches from the rail,
and the height puzzled the 'coroner in
determining how the man was hit.
Mr. Biggs stated that one or two peo
ple viewing the body were of hte opin- ]
ion that Mr. Edmondson attempted
to hop the train Ail, failing to do so,
was killed Other opinions were of- .
fered, but the jury in its report only '
stated that the man was killed by A.
C. L. passenger train No, 62.
According to statements made, Mr.
Edmondson left his farm in the upper
part of this county for Hobgood, rid
ing in a wagon with one of his col
ored tenants. When they crossed the
railroad near the county line, 'lie in
structed the wagon driver to continue
to Hobgood, that he was going to walk
down the railroad. Nothing was heard
of him untiL hi* i»a,dy was discovered
by two cojored men walking the
tracks. t
Mr. Edmondson was 26 years old, ■
the son of John Buck Edmolldson, of
Hobgood. While he made his home
in Halifax, Mr. Edmondson fanned in
this county. He leaves a widow and
three children.

the two quarreled over the thickly
applied rouge. It ia said that Gainer
demanded the woman to remove the
paint, and when she stated Bhe had
nothing to remove it with, he offered
his assistance, using the weapon to
clear her face. The woman moved her
head and threw her handß about her •
face, the ball barely touching the
fingers. Babe Briley's head was two
inches out of the ball's path, and a

ers rolled from tilted beds while
earlier risers leaped from the break

Whan tha laat tremor died away

CHANGE IN DATE
FOR OPENING OF
MARKET TALKED
Association Suggests Open
ing Bright Belt on
August 27
PLAN NOT FAVORED
a
'.Local Board of Trade Believes It Is
Too Late Now To Make Any
Change in Date
a
A change in the date for opening the
Eastern Carolina tobacco markets is
being considered by warehousemen in
the belt, according to a wire received
here yesterday from the secretary of
th East Carolina Tobacco Association,'
asking the local tobacco board of trades
opinion as to chauging the date from ,
September to August 27. While the
proposed change carries several ad-'
vantages, the local tobacco board of 1
tiadc wired that all their advertising
matter had been prepared and that the
date of September 3 appeared on it,
that a change would result in a great
loss to all warehousemen.
It is not known just where the move- 1
mcnt for changing the opening date t
originated, but it is believed that this j
belt is losing much tobacco to the bor
(iei markets and that an effort is be- |
ii'g made to check the tobacco going |
from the belt to the other markets.
According to reports, much tobacco
i-. lieing offered for sale on the border
markets by fa£tset>w this belt. It is
understood that several farmers in this
vicinity have placed small amounts of
tobacco on the border warehouse
floors, but the amounts have been neg
ligible so far. One farmer as far away
from the markets as Hertford County
is said to have tried out the markets
near the border. Another is said to
have gone down to sell from Halifax
and one or two went from this county
to sell, but the prices paid to one were
very low, and the tobacco was re
turned. The Halifax farmer is said
to have received a 15-cent average for
his offerings.

NEGRO IS BOUND !
OVER TO COURT
Philip Escoffery,*- Durham
Lawyer, Tried in Bertie
Saturday
One of the most sensational cases
to come before a Liertie County court
was heard in Windsor last Saturday!
morning by Justice of the Peace P. T.
Perry.
The caie was against I'bjlip Es
coffery, a colored lawyerjjrof Durham,
and charged him with procuring false
affidavits from Lem Pritchard, color
ed. Escoffery is said to have induced
Pritcliard to repudiate and deny the
testimony given by him in the trial
of State against Percy Miller, in'
which Miller was found guilty of
murdering Chief White of Windsor. I
The affidavit also charged Solicitor!
I Attorneys J. H. Matthews, J. i
i H. Pritchett, J. W. Davenport, Moses
Oil lam and E. K. Tyler, prosecuting
' attorney, Sheriff Cooper and Deputy
Sheriff Askew with coercing and in- [
tiinidating the witness, Pritch
j ard, barely sparing the court in the
J charge of high crime and misdentean
I 0r ",
Escoffery was represented by L. P.
McLendon, of the firm of McLendon
.and Hedrick, of Durham, and H. Clay
I Carter, of Washington. The State's
| charges were handled by Judge F. 1).
Winston alone as all the attorneys
who had represented the State in the
case against Miller at the trial in May
were charged with/fraud and were
witnesses in this case.
The courtroom was packed with
spectators, equally divided between
the whites aiAl coloreds and all were
apparently anxious to hear every
word said.
Pritchard, held on a perjury charge,
was the first witnesse placed on the
stand against Escoffery. His testimony
offered at the trial is practically all
repudiated in the affidavit written by
Escoery and subscribed before C. IV
Carstarphen, of Williamston.
Pritchard was questioned at great
length by both the State and de-l
fense. His testimony fully substan '
tiated that given at the Miller trial
and repudiated the affidavit. He'
claims that Escoffery sent for him
early in June to come to the home
(of Rachel I.uten, that Escoffery tele-1
phoned for him three times and that I
he went about 4:30' one afternoon to|
see the colored lawyer. Escoffery took!
him into a room and. asked him if he!
did not know it was a penitentiary
crime to swear to a lie anil send a
man to the electric chair. He stated
that he told Escoffery he "had not
lied. Escoffery, according to the evi
dence, also asked him if the sheriff,
deputies, solicitor and lawyers had
forced him to swear falsely in the
Miller case. He told Escoffery they
did not and that he had told the
truth) at the trial.
Escoffery later got Pritchard to
come to Williamston and sign the
paper, Pritchard stating that he could |
not read and that he did not know j
what,was in the paper. Escoffery, he;
claimed, did not read the paper to'
him, that the lawyer had misinformed .
him as to the contents of the paper. |
A number of other witnesses in-1
eluding court officers, lawyers were!
examined, all -denying the statmentsj
relating to them as pointed out in the!
affidavit procured by Escoffery.
The defense offered no testimony.
The court held that there was
probable cause and Escoffery -was re
quired to give a $2,500 bond for his
appearance in the liertie Superior
court the last week in August.
It has been stated that the defense
will move to quash the indictment on
account of want of jurisdiction in
Bertie county as the signing of the
. affidavit was done in this county and
also upon the ground that the affi
davit was not actually used and on ac
count of other technical errors claim
ed to have been d in connec
tion with the csa.ft
