DOWN AND UP
* '
Form Association at Meet
ing Held In Citizen
Shop Last Night
♦
Local barber prices dropped and then
went up again this week when the hu
morously . called barber's trust met
competition recently introduced here.
Shaves dropped from 20 to IS cents and
hair cuts from 35 to 25 cents. Other
prices were also reduced. But the re
duction was too great and the associa
tion ordered a to old prices,
many customers not even getting a
shave or hair cuit during the short sea
son of low prices.
The general conversational topics so
common in a barber shop have suffer
ed since the competition was introduced
here a few days ago. Even "hard
times" and low tobacco' prices were sel
dom mentioned, so important was tire
barber's own business. Now that the
"trust" has its business settled, a re
turn to the general conversational
topics is expected.

HENRY DANIEL
ADMITS KILLING
WILLIAM ANGE
Trapped By Sheriffs Roe
buck and Reid In Lower
Part of This County
CARRIED TO RALEIGH
Alleged' Murder Makes Statement To
Officers While In Green Jail
»Early This f.icrning
Henry Dave Daniel, alleged murderer
of William Wrigliteu Ange, 84-year-old
white man at Camp Point last Sunday,
was captured by Sheriffs Roebuck and
Reid near the Washington county line
late last night.
Immediately following the killing,
and almost constantly since that time,
officers have carried on an extensive
search for the man. No chances were
taken and deputies watched night and
day Daniel's hiding places until they
trapi>ed him in a woods in the lower
part of the county.
I The two sheriffs effected the cap
ture when they blocked a path that had
J only one outlet and held up car and
arrested the driver. \ search was made,
ptesumably for whiskey, but when the
officers opened the lid to the rear com
partnient they found Daniel hidden
I there. Taking their man, the sheriffs
walked him through the woods to their
jcar, Daniel showing great fear of be
j ing lynched as the officers walked him
| through the swamps. Fearing violence,
the officers carried Daniel to Green
ville where he admitted the killing. It
was then decided to carry the prison-,
er on to Raleigh, Sheriff Whitehurst
taking him in his care at that point.
Daniel, at first, vigorously denied
| any knowledge of the killing, and stat
■ ed that he spent Sunday night with an
aunt in Washington. The sheriff had
planned the capture too well and es
tablished too many facts for Daniel to
continue with his story. Sheriff Roe
buck told Daniel where he spent Sun
day night and where he had
since that time.
Daniel continued to deny his connec
j tion with the killing until he was plac-
Jed in the Greenville jail. He called
Sheriff fcoehuck and told him he had
I something to tell hint and then made
and signed the following/statement:
"I left Janic»vi|le Sunday afternoon
with a gallon of whiskey by myself and
paddled boat to Camp Point fishery.
Mr. Ange and I drank some whiskey.
He then went to his room and got
his shot gun and said let's go and kill
some hull frogs. We went and return- j
ed to the fish house. Mr. Ange got up
on scaffold and f asked him for the
gun. I did not know it was loaded. I
pulled the trigger back and the gun ,
fired and the load hit him in the head.
"Then I got scared, took him from ,
the scaffold and pushed him into the
river. I then threw the gun overboard.
I got in the boat and paddled back to
a landing near the Ball Gray iarm and
went across, the field to town.
"HFNRY DAVE DANIEL."
The .statement was witnessed by
Sheriff J. K. Keid, of Washington
county; Sheriff C. B. Roebuck, of this
county, and Sheriff S. A. Whitehurst, of
Pitt county.
After Daniel made his confession, he
was removed to the State prison in
Raleigh. This precaution was taken on
account of the tense feeling against
ihim in the Jamesville section.
| The case will be turned over to the
authorities of Bertie county where it
is understood that the charge of first
degree murder will be made against
him. The motive for the killing, ac
cording ttfj information given, was rob
bery.
The sheriff found a purse on him ex
actly, like that of Mr_Auge aDd which
had been described by Dr. Smithwick
and several othe?s~who had frequently
seen it in the hands of Mr. Ange. Only
7.1 cents were found on hirm when Dan
iel was captured. Mr. was known
tr> have had money, but none was found
on Daniel other than the 73 cents.
[ Searching the property at the fish
house, a party found $75. sewed up in
the inside of Mr. Ange's pillow. It is
believed that l-the. money had been
there for sohie :ime. The sheriff also had
information in Jicatiug that Daniel had
passed some money to a relative for
lafe keeping.
Sheriff Roebuck stated upon his re
turn this morning that he had never
had any better support in apprehend
ing a criminal than that given in this
case. Both white and colored offered
information and their services in ef
fecting Daniel's capture, it was stated.
The case will, in all probability, be
called at the next term of Bertie coun
ty superior court convening in Windsor
next month.

The Most Complete In County
In Several Year*
Facing destitute circumstances al
most. many Martin County children
are remaining out of school this year
because their parents are unable to sup

number of children unable to enter the
classroom there are others, many oth
ers, who are attending by practicing
the strictest economy ever practiced.
Their lots are described as very un
favorable by teachers in the various
schools. I'he purchase of second-hand
books in practically every community
in, the county has been the most com
plete in years, it was stated by several
[of the principals. New book sales have

made by several of the merchants car
rying school supplies'in their stocks.
Comparatively few parents were ex
'cused under the pauper's" oath from
' sending their children to school last
viar, and no large number is expected
this year. The situation as reported by
various people in the several communi
ties will call for a series of concentrated
visits by teachers and welfare workers,

by welfare workers in several of the
