FATHER ROGERS AVENGES WRONG Tries to Take Life of the Ye tine Man Who Had Ben Intimate With Hia ltangbttr and Almost Suit-Mdeti. IUIei,'h, X. C, June 24. Jno. t'. Dock cry, son of. .United States Marshal H. C IXxkerv and himself a deputy marshal, whs shot and probably fatally wounded just before noon today by Policeman Isaac V. Rogers. The shooting was on the marble stairway of the Tucker building, the principal ofliee building in the eity, and was ou the ground that Dockery had ruined one of his daughters, Lva Rogers. In fact, the charge was that Dockery and LY M. Bernard, ex-United States Distrift Attorney, had carried the Rogers girl and her friend, Miss Bertha Howell, to an assignation bouse more than a week ago. Dockery and Bernard had been out of the city for some days. .Bernard is now in Wilmington and l)ockery only return ed here this morning when II. C. Howell, father of one of the girls involved, for biipself and Rogers, Berved notice on Dockery- for vivil suit for against the two men. : damages At the time of the shooting, Dockery whs going up the steps with Howell to the ofliee of Jan. II. I'ou. Dockery's at torney with n view to set ling the ease if possible. Suddenly Rogers appealed at the head of the steps, revolver in hiiud. He said. "(Jood morning, Mr. Dockery," and tired twice. Dockerv fell on the lint landing, man aged to get his revolver out and fired at Rogers, the ball striking him in the calf of the leg inflicting merely a flesh wound. - Dockery h s carried to Rex Hospital where plnwicians attended him, his eon tlit ion being found to be so serious that an ante-mortem statement was taken. There seems to le no chance for him to live. Rogers is in the hands of the sheriff awaiting the result of Doekery'g wounds. 1 Raleigh, X. C. June During a lengthy session, of the board, of Liust.eew of Wake Forest College held here last night the resignation of Dr. Chas. E. Taylor as president was accepted and Prof. W. L. Poteat was elected in his stead. The retiring fTom the presidency by Dr. Chas. E. Taylor is in order that he may devote his time to increasing the endowment of the college, which has grown during his presidency since 1884 from $48,000 to nearly $400,000. Dr. W. L. Poteat, the newly elected president of the college, is now in mid-ocean on his way to Europe and will not know of his election until he touches at Gibral tar and receives a cablegram sent him there. . A remarkable coincidence is that the trustees of Mercer College were wait ing last night to. hear from the trustees of Wake Forest and if they had not se lected him as president of Wake Forest College they would have elected him pre sident of Mercer. The salary at Mercer is $4.000 -while that at Wake Forest is only $2,500. Dr. Poteat is a native of Caswell county, is 4(1 years old and grad uated from Wake Forest with the hon ors of his class in 1881 and has pursu ed a wide range of studies in the leading universities of this country and Europe. There is no doubt of his accepting the presidency of Wake Forest. Dr. Taylor, the retiring president, is a Virginian, one of his brothers being pastor of the Suf folk Baptist church and another a mis sionary in Rome, Italy. Work is to begin before July 15th on the new Elks' temple .that is to be erect ed by the Raleigh lodge on Salisbury street opposite the Capital Club build ing. It is to be a four story structure with a roof garden. The close of the school term of the Catholic Orpiianagc here was marked last night by a' remarkably creditable concert in which thirty-five bright boys and girls participated. There are fifty children in the home. It is a notable fact tliat there is one little boy who when brought there little more than a year ago had many of the nil mal instincts of a dog in that 'lie; would if angered or interfcrred with in any way bark like a dog and even .siwn and bite like a canine. He was that way from birth by some - mental deformity' .and they have so trained him in the home that he has well nigh passed into normal condi tion so that he is little different from boys generally. The inquiries sent out recently from the office of the state department of la bor and printing asking for information to be incorporated in the fourtheoming 1!K)5 report of the department are meet ing with very prompt responses, there being already in hand replies from 612 farmers, 130 newspapers, 110 factories, 117 mechanics, 5.'J furniture factories and rtiany others. Only one tobacco factory has responded. More than 60,000 persons are engaged in the Wtchrasking Industry not In- fludltlR twnth'rt ib&AUwnir, Oaly Fair Cases la Two Weeks. The case of E. H. Rainey vs. the Norfolk & Western Railway Co., which trial has been in progress for several days, was given to the jury Saturday, and a mistrial ordered. - After remaining out until Sunday morning without reaching a verdict. his honor, Judge Cook, discharged the jury. The case was hotly contested, Messrs. Scott & Reid and McMichea; appearing for the defendant railway company and Messrs. Man!ey, Jt hnstor. Jonnston & lvie for the plaintiff. Mr, Rainey was injured while a pas senger on a N. & W. freight tiain some time ago and was suing for $10,- 000 damages. During the two weeks' term of court only four cases came up for a hearing The first was that of Capt, J. M. Jones vs. D. E. I'urcell, involving a suit over three acres of land. The jury brought in an especially made up verdict and Judge Cook turned over the land to Capt. Jones and taxed him with the costs of the case as a compromise, Messrs. McMichea- and Glidewell rep resented Mr. Purcell and Messrs, Scott & Reid the plaintiff Jones. Another case of considerable import ance was the Roberts' will case. Many fine points of law were involved in this hearing, and Messrs. A. L. Brooks and Johnston, Johnston & lvie sustained the will. The other side was represent ed abiy by Messrs. Clement Manlev. of i . . Winston-Salem, Scott & Reid and C. O MMichcaI. The case of Price vs. Joyce resulted n a victory for the defendant. As a result of an altercation the plaintiff alleged he was entitled to damages for injury done him. The plaintiff was taxed with the costs. Flocklnf to Vadc'Mccum. Vade atecum Springs, N.

My Build a New Mill. The Edna Cotton Mills people have under consideration the building of a new mill near their present plant, and The Review hopes to be able to note the completion of the arrangements within a few days. In the event the new mill is not built it is generally understood that an addi tion of 10,000 spindles will be added to the present building. It is the opinion of some of the mill people that new mill of this capicity should te built with one end left open for an addition in about two years. One of them as seated that Reidsville ought to have about 50,000 spindles; that there was enough labor to be obtained here and trained for the work and that within two years things would permit of an other enlargement with this end in Yiew,The mill at present employs about 400 people, and that wouIda3eT about this many more. $uieHh forTH Rvmw, B HOT MATTER FOR WARN WEATHER The Ki m l-i-iaiiti. al Hobo Bark ajl Bark fur a Kirk From Kilitr Caldwell and H iet it Hard and Hravf , For twenty-eight years I have been writing newspaper editorials and it has been my fortune within that time that many curs have barked at my heels. Some of these have left the State be tween suns and others have dropped into obscurity. Others still remain. The most malignant and indecent of all these dogs is A. J. McKel way, preacher, reformer, editor of a so-called religious paper and common liar. The most careful reader of this paper will requisi tion his or her memory in vain for his causa of offence against me, for I have made no war on him nor given him oc casion for any grievance. On the other hand, the readers of the papers he has edited will bear witness to the steadiness and malignancy of his un provoked war on me and The Observer. Lately he has given a new turn to this a personal turn of the form of sneak ing innuendo, with open throats of ex posure to be made unless I shape my editorial policy to square with his opinions, lnis innuendo ana inreat, which have been gradually increasing in directness, were more marked than heretofore in his Presbyterian Standard last week, I shall indulge in no debate with the dog, for he is beyond the pale, but for the sake of this editorial of his last week, I step aside for the moment to bestow the kick for which he has so long uefgea ana so ricniy earneu. Newspaper discussion is frequently in teresting and frequently enlightening when conducted by gentlemen who re spect the rules of propriety, as all gen tlemen do, but there can be no debate with this creature which he does not sooner or later drag down to a per sonal level, impugning the motives of the antagonist, though that antagonist be a Presbyterian minister, or assailing the personal character of the opposing writer. I engage in controversy with no such cattle, but this fellow has evi dently mistaken contempt for timidity and has over-stepped the bounds once too often. To say that he is a liar is to convey no news t him he has heard it before and knew it before he was ever told soH On one occasion while he lived in Fay- etteville and while a liquor agitation was in progress, he went to Capt. J. D, McNeill, the Democratic leader in the eniintv. to arranire a cnmnromise. He wanted a dispensary and Capt. McNeill j , a- 1 , rfJ high license. They . agreed that he should not press for a dispensary by egislative enactment and that Capt. McNeill would consent to the submis sion oi me issue to a vote or tne peo ple of the county. The "ecclesiastical hobo," as he has been so appropriately called, went straightway to Raleigh, the Legislature being then in session, and helped to engineer a dispensary bill through that body. When he returned and was taxed with hia bad faith by Capt. McNeill, he grinned like a 'pos sum, as if he had done a smart thing, and answered that "all's fair in lova, war and politics." McNeill (the son of a Presbyterian preacher) thereupon de nounced him as a "damned liar and damned scoundrel." Ha replied, "O, that's just one man's opinion," and walked off, still grinning like a 'pos-' SUm. ------ - .:-:... ..-,!...; : 1 Two winters ago he made a wholesale assault upon the North Carolina dele-. gation in Congress, and while members of the delegation were discussing it in- j dignantly, one of them remarked that he ought to be run out of the State. ! Mr. Hildebrand, the Washington cor respondent of The Observer, transmit ted this remark to this paper. This sniveling hypocrite secured denials from one after another of the North Carolina Congressmen and denounced Hildebrand, day after day, as a liar. With a high sense of the sancity of newspaper confidence this was confi dential in the sense that the Congress man diJ not expect to be quoted -Mr Hildebrand stoutly refused to tell who made the remark. One of the delega tion, resenting the wrong being done Hildebrand, telegraphed McKelway that the remark was made, as quoted, ' by one of the delegation, and suggested that he hold up in his denunciation of the cerrespondent or there might Jbe disclosures which would not be agree able. Did he then correct himself and apologize to Mr. Hilbebrand as any honorable man would have done? No, sirs! IVitK thia telegram" 'InTua pos Contlnntd on Bcond pwr Hot Weather Bar gains for Cash.
