Rev. Tucker Was Two “Affection
ate” and Lost His Certificate
Rev, Thomas R. Tucker, colored, who
has been teaching school in this county
and telling of the way of the “meek and
lowly” at odd chances, will teach no
more school in this county. His certi
ficate has been revoked by Rev. G. J.
Dowell, county examiner, for being “too
(affectionate” to his scholars.
The case came up before the county
examiner of school teachers Friday
afternoon and lasted until that night.
It seemes that Rev. Tucker who is
about 34 years of age, was employed last
November as teacher in district No. 11,
Patterson township, andj taught until
who was chosen as a leader yesterday. 1 sch00] wa .. 0ut fa M fol i owing .

A Woman Killed “Down on the Bow
ery” Last Night.
Raleigh. July II.—(9:30 p- m. Spe
cial to Herald.)—Tonight at 8:30
o’clock there was a murder down on the
“Bowery.” A white man shot and killed
a negro woman.
The murderers name is Herbert Wom
ble, son of Rufus Womble, and the dead
woman is Telia Green, daughter of
Logan Green.
She died in a few minutes after being
shot-
The locality is a very disrespectful
one and the officers have a great deal of
trouble in keeping order there.
Womble skipped out as soon as the
deed was committed and has not yet
been captured.
(LaTER.—The police department here
was notified by the Raleigh officials to
be on the lookout for Womble. The
message said Womble left there coming
in this direction. At 2 o’clock this
morning nothing had been heard
seen of him,

they refused him that special privilege.
After hearing all the evidence Rev.
Mr. Dowell .decided that it was his duty
to remove Tucker away where he
would have no “ripe and juicy lips” to
tempt him and so the certificate he held
was revoked.
The defendant was represented by F.

Long then will Durham stand
in regard to what the convention did in Firm in the great Southland,
Chicago. The entire proceedings of the
convention was served fresh and hot to
us here, and when a yell was raised in
toe convention hall before it had died
away the people of Durham were, read
ing it. Several times during the con-
tion there was only two minutes differ
ence in the time given at Chicago and
the time the news was received here
and-handed out to the large crowd who
congregated around the Postal office
and aronnd the store of W. A. Slater

so as to give all a chance to read them.
The entire proceedings of the conven
tion was given. Every demonstration,
every speaker and everything that was
done. Mr. Alston hung on to the wires
from beginning to finish and remained
with the “boys” until the convention
would adjourn—even if it was 2 and 3
o’clock in the morning. The Herald
thanks him. We all thank him.
