Murderer Gt ' Respito
From Govtrner,
Raleigh, Deo,- 19. The revenue cf-N
ficers are very active indeed in this
section and are certainly doing excellent
work in raiding the moonshiners, who
are doing so much mischief and against
whom the county officers in almost
every case are utterly failing to take
any steps, though it is their sworn duty
under the law to be active in this mat
ter. Last night a hundred and ten
gallon still was captured two and a half
miles east of Wake Forest College.
The operators had just quit work. A
thousand gallons of beer were found.
The house of a negro Richard Gulley
nearby was searched and whiskey was
found there. The still belonged to a
Granville county man who had come
over into Wake' to do his work and
chosen a place near the college to do it.
In another raid the officers got a 75
gallon still two miles from Lillington
Sunday night two stills were captured
in Durham county, about eight miles
from Durham. One of the best known
deputy revenue collectors in this dis
trict said something today which ought
to jar the sheriffs, and clrtainly ought
to attract the attention of the law
abiding North Carolina public; these
were his words: "With the solitary ex
ception of sheriff Marsh of Cumberland
I have never known a sheriff to do a
singh thing towards breaking up moon
shiners. Sheriff Marsh sends his depu
ties with me everytime I go into his
county. "It is said that some sheriff
and deputies and constables in various
counties know of the presence of dis
tilleries. In one or two cases this has
been shown to be the fact.
It i3 interesting to know that this
year North Carolina led all the States
in tho manufacture of tobacco and took
rank as the second State in point of
production of leaf.
The Atlantic Fire Insurance Company
organized here and chartered last Fri
day has chosen Charles E. Johnson,
president; Joseph G. Brown, vice-presi
dent; Herbert W. Jackson, treasurer
and Gavin H. Dortch, secretary. The
offices will be over the Mechanics Dime
Savings Bank in the building for years
occupied by the State National Bank.
The directors represent Raleigh, Aber
deen, Tarboro, Clayton, Smithfield,
Wilson, Goldsboro, Durham, Sanford,
Elizabeth City, Washington, High
Point, Charlotte and Rocky Mounts
The company will begin business in two
weeks, capital stock paid up $125,
000.
In the United States District Court
this afternoon Judge Purnell heard an
argument on a motion for confirmation
of the sale of the Carolina & Northern
Railway, lately sold under a decree by
the bond-holders. Among those oppoe
ing the confirmation of the sale are T.
C. McNeeley, who used to be general
manager of the road, the bank of

Astoria Shkn.
New" York, Dec. 19.. Three were

the drill struck a forgotten charge of
dynamite." : Immediately a terrific ex

James Webb, a colored hoy Jiving in
Pavietown was the victim of a serious
accident last evening, i He was with
some companions at his home and was
fooling with a shot .gun. During the
play the firearm went off and he re
ceived the entire charge in his foot.
Fortunately the muzzle being near the
foot the charge did not have the chance
to spread and the shot are located in
the great toe of the right foot and that
part of the anatomy is, of course, bad
ly lacerated.
The boy was taken to Dr. Lassiter's
office and the wpund dressed. The
physician said that he could not tell
whether the foot would have to be
amputated or not but feared thjt at
least a part of it wou'.d have to be
taken off.
Police Court News
Paul Venable was in the police court
yesterday for obtaining money by
trick and fraud. He borrowed five
dollars of B. S. Hardison, a young
white man of Croatan, who loaned
Venable to bet on a game of. cards
with. Venable turned it over to an
old man, apparently a confederate who
took the "hot foot" and has not been
seen since. Venable also ran but his
liberty was short lived. He was caught
on East Front street by deputy sheriff
White after an exciting chase. Vena
ble is the second who has tried this
dangerous game here within a short
time.
Matilda Nyass and Matilda White
were fined four dollars each for disor
derly conduct and cursing each other.
Hodell Wiggins was taxed the costs
for allowing his horse to go along the
street without & driver.
Washington, Dec. 18. The Supreme

of a number of judgments upon con
tracts for life insurance, adding 10 perl
ont, for damages, as well as interest
and cost, to the verdict against the

Fine Imposed on Brick Trust
Chicago, III, Lec. 18. The so-called
'brick trust" of Chicago made a com
plete surrender to State's Attorney
Healy in court to lay, and a number of
its officials and several labor union of
ficials were fined an aggregate ot
$18,000.
The company .and some of its officers
together with two labor leaders, were
indicted for conspiracy to do an illegal
act, to prevent competition, and to re
strict the production and sale of brick
in the Chicago market.
The charge against the labor leaders
was that they called strikes on build

purchased from others than those in
the combination.
