C. Rray. local insurance man. Ii?*? almost at death's I doc.r in the hospital. City Manager lira:* has been directing the activities of the police and was at police head quarters Sunday nU-bt when a call ca:?ie in of a disturbance among ne -irees in the* neighborhood of lit own's eafe oiw Harney street. -J limning into his own automobile, the City Manager, with Chief of Police Gregory. Potlce Officer Twiddy and others, hastened to the scene of the*disturbance where they found about 75 negroes congregated. As Police Officer Twiddy sprang out of the automobile, in ..some way the short barrelled shot gun which had be?*n taken along on the front seat. was knocked down and the weapon was discharged, the load taking effect at close quarters in .Mr. Dray's left breast just above the heart. "I'm shot through the heart." thought the City Manager, and to the onlookers it appeared that 1*.( was so sliot truly, as bis left breast was covered with blood. For tu : ttelv. however, the weapon was tlbc'iarged with the barrel pointing u ward, ami the buckshot with w!?ich it was loaded ranged in the same direction. Apparently, be has sun red nothing more serious than a lh sli wound In the shoulder. At such close range was the shot ffr? Jl, however, that, when Mr. Rray was put upon the operating table at the hospital, his physician, Iir. Claude Williams and Dr. John Saliha. operatinu surgeons, extracted from the wound not only four huck shct. but also the wad from the , cartridge. Possibly the wad saved tlu City Manager's lif. . The X-Kay machine will be i!d to ascertain whether there are ot'jer tin I lets in Mr. llrav's breast. Possibly, in the o]iinion of Pr. Sali ha. other buckshot may have lodued in tlie collar hone or other bones of t-he. shoulder.

"If there had been only one Pul h t." he said. "! think I could have dodged it. but 1 had no chalice a.ainst that load of hucitahot."

THIS STATE HAS REAL COAL FIELD Deep lliver ("oal Fields of Chatham, Lee. and Moore (iountirs Should Become (ircat Source Fuel Supply CbmiPl Hill. Dec. 1".?Th?' lv..|i River coal Hold, embracing portions of Chatham. Lee and Moore coun ties. is much more valuable tlian has been generally believed and should become a source of fuel not only for mills and railroads of Kast ern North Carolina but for domestic use in the form of coke, according t?> a survey of the reulon made public here last nitltt. The survey was made by M. II. Campbell and Kent W. Kimball of the I'nited States I oloKical Survey in co-ojm ration with the North Carolina Geological Sur vey. The investigators describe the coal as occurring in two benches known as the upper and the lower. It is only the upper bench, reads the report, where the coal varies from three to nearly four f??i In thick ness. that is'at present considered comnn rclal coal, although it is be lieved that under certain conditions, the lower bench might be mined and cleaned profitably. The evtent of the workable coal and available tonnaue is estimated by the ueolouists as approximately e.s millions of tons of recov# rahle coal in the district west of tin- Deep lliver faoult: and it is believed that minium ran .he profitably carried on to a depth of two thousand feet. The area, the report continue?, in which' this tonnaue Is included is about 2." square miles, and it Is considered reasonable to assume that the coal bed throughout this area averages at least three feet In thickness of re coverable coal. "The character and quality of the coal." the investigators reported, "have been very carefully studied and physical and chemical analyses are Liven of coal taken from various sections of the area. One interest ini> feature of the chemical composi tion is that the coal contains ap proximate ly two per cent of nitro gen. which could-he obtained in the form or ammonium sulphate as a by product- in cokin:: the coal, which would give approximately 2I? pounds per ton of coal. "The cokinu tost showed that tli< coal would make a coke of very food quality insofar as could be defer mined bv a laboratory test and Is fairly equal to either Free port or I'lttshurgh coke?. It is believ? <1 that one use of the free p. UIvj r coal that should be fclven careful considera fion Is to coke it. uslnu the coke ob tained as a domestic fuel, and the yield of uas for ceneratlng electric power for transmission. "The ammonium sulphate, obtain ed as a by-product, will he of Nrti value for agricultural purposes. There would also be obtained as an other by-product approximately 2 2 gallons of tar (dehydrated! per ton of coal." The Investlcafors in their report give an interesting account of the history of the discovery and devel opment of coal in the ,, uiver field. I? is evident, they state, that the tb-'iosits first v ? :? dlseov- red some Timo prior to 177T. and from that time to the pr?-sont there has hten considerable uncertain!v ns to the quality and quantity of the coal In the area. The geography of the field shows it to extend from a short tlM nee nortlien? t of Cape l-'ear IHver In a southwesterly direction to Carthai: and in the other direction from San-, ford the southwest to a few mile: h? - vond gulf on the northw- f ? nihme I?i*.? portions of Chatham. I.e. . and Moore counties. It Is known and dec lirnated as the I)e? p Hirer Coal l-"l?

Coii'ld erable prospecting and sohie minim, has been done, according to tie re port. but most of the work was a failure, due to several causes, chb f of which jierhap* was lack of capital and having men unfamiliar with coal mining In charae of operations.
