Patrolmen Primer and Conard. of I the local police force, got some very beneficial exercise yesterday morn ing about S o'clock in a lengtny chase after an unknown party whose actions seemed to show that he thought the police force wanted him badly.

Coming instantly to the conclusion that the fleeing individu al was evidently wanted for some of fense, Mr. Brimer gave chase, in spito of the long lead the pursued had obtained and followed his quar ry for more than a mile to a point opposite Little's store. Here Police man Conard, who lives in an adjoin ing bouse was standing on his porcn, or came out in time to see what was up. but not until the runner was . hundred yards or more ahead of him. He came to Mr. Brinier.'s re lief, however, and continued tlie chase for a mile or more Sou'h of the Loray Mill, the pursued having left the railroad and turned South .-t SetjUeniver's store. Being a long distance ahead of Ills tuirsuers and evidently an expert sprinter, the uri known partv finally escaped, enter ing a stretch of woods South of town. The police have no Idei who the man wns. but feel sure that he had committed some offense for which he was in great fear of arrest. W. A. DFVIN ATPOIXTKD. Oxford Man Made Judge to Succeed Fonshee.

Expectation is no longer held out that an umicablo adjust ment will bo readied before tne meeting of tlie special session of the General Assembly on the 24th In stant. Adequate relief has not been offered by tho carriers. The belief Is general that measures must he adopted by tho General Assembly to induce an equitable and uniform adjustment. 'I his forum is the proKT one to which the people should resort to seek relief. The members of this body are the duly elected and paid representatives of tho people, acting under solemn oaths to bo faithful to the discharge of their public duties. And to this body tlie grievances should be car ried for relief and relief demanded as of right. "The officers of tlie State Just Freight Rate Association are appeal ing for strong delegations of citi zens from each section to be in Ral eigh on tho l!4th instant. The busi ness men may thus show their inter est and make known to their repre sentatives their will in this matter. If our Immediate section holies to aid the movement and obtain a fair deal it must be well represented. We cannot safely leave our Interests wholly to others. They are busy with their own troubles. "The local organization is anxious to obtain good results but feels that it will be greatly impeded In Its ef forts unless a strong delegation from Gaston Is present In Raleigh. It urges eac h citizen to make this mat ter a personal one and go for the one day. the L'lth, If for no longer. Your influence Is needed." TO MF.KT l GASTONIA.
