The News This Week From Cra
ven's Second Largest Town
Rather Sensational,
Dover, Feb. 14 -There has been sev
eral happenings of a sensational na
ture at and near this place for ihe past
few days, in fact almost enough to fill
a newspaper.
Monday while two negroes were out
hunting near here, one shot another
accidently, and the wounded man is in
a critical condition. The Bhot were
small but they almost tore the negro's
scalp from his head. The man who did
the shooting is named Nathan Jones,
and the one that was shot Bill Green,
The doctor thinks that wi;h 'good at
tention Green may recover.
Two negroes, Haywood Tillman and
Dempsy Perry, employes of the Golds
boro Lumber Compary, while working,
engaged in an unfriendly discussion.
Perry left the mill, returning in a short
while with a billet of wood he struck
Tillman on the head with it causing a
bad fracture of the skull. He may re
cover. Three 3 oung men of this place went
to Caswell one night last week to at
tend an entertainment, and when re
turning were fired upon, near that
place by son e one unknown. No one
was struck, but the horse ran away do
ing some damage to the venicie ami
hurt some of the young men but not
seriously.
Rev Cecil Outlaw, of Barnwell, S
C, and sister Mi98 Mary Outlaw, Dur
ham, were here Monday looking after
the insurance on the life of their fa
ther, the late Louis II. Outlaw.
Work of cleaning out Meseley Creek
and its tributary will commence soon.
Two men from Richmond who are in
terested in the contract for doing the
work are here now looking after their
interests. The work will be done under
the State drainage law, and the imple
ments ucd will be suction dredges and
other machines.
If you don't call for it, its
your fault; if you don't get
it. If you do call for it; its
our fault if you don't get it

Despite the inclement weather which
has prevailed during the past few days
the attendance at the graded school has
been unusually good. A number of the
pupils are detained at home on account
of sickness but every one of them who
cou'd p' ib'y do bo have been at thoir
class rooms every iloy dui ing the present
week. The buildinizs are well heated
and parents are assured that their child
ren will not suffer from Ihe cold in lh
least.
The police yesterday arretted Lavi

ing her with cruelty to her four-year-
old child. It is claimed that the wo
man would leave the child a one in her
home for two days at the time with not
a thing lo eat and with scarcely any
cover, and that she also would beat it
unmercifully a', times. No di 'position
has been made of her ca-e, the police

Kitchin Campaign To Open
Tomorrow Night Heavy
. Snow.
Raleigh, Feb. 14 The Whiting
Manufacturing Company which about
two years ago purchased the greater
part of Kobbinsville, Graham county,
together with other big interests in that
section, is closing a deal for 60,000 acres
of timber land in Graham county at a
cost of $600,000, according to informa
tion. Tbe exact location of the land
cannot be learned, but it is understood
that there are about 100 eontinguous
tracts, making altogether about 50,000
acres. The deed has not yet been filed
in Robinsonvfltf.
There is keen interest here in -the
Kitchin Club meeting that is to be held
here Friday night when Governor Wil
Ham W. Kitchin will deliver his formal
opening speech for the campaign he is
to make for the seat in the Uujted
States senate now held by Senator F.
M. Simmons and for which ex-Governor
Chas. B. Aycock and Chief Justice Wal
er Clark are also candidates. It is con
ceded that in is speech the Governor
will make clear in detail, his own views
as to national issues as they relate to
North Carolina representation in con
gress and that he will also make an as
suit on the congressional record of
United States Senator Simmons. The
Raleigh Kitchin Club js the first formed
in the state and it is the declared policy
of the Kitchin campaign management
to have these clubs formed as rapidly as
possible in every section of the state,
They are to extend invitations to the
governor to visit them and make public
speeches under their auspices. It is in
this way that means will be provided
for the governor to appear before' the
people in every locality in the state in
furtherance of his senatorial candidacy.
The opening gun of the Kitchen cam
paign here Friday night, is sure to strike
fire in bringing repllses and refutations
from Senator Simmons and the other
two candidates and the indications are
that from now on right through the
summer and fall until the senatorial
primaries to be held most probably at
the November elections, there will be
strenuous campaigning by all four can
didates with a good large showing of
real bitter fighting, with the probable
outcome very much of a question at this
time.
Raleigh was considerably, tied up Sun
day with a seven-intm-tnaw fall and
when the m. King begn toward noon
roof troubles developed";; especially on
numbers of the burlfpg in tbe VbuBi
ness section. Ihe street caraua

from Glenwood to the Country Club wal
not opened for operation of the cars

Io Murder Case, Jury Retired
List 'Night at 9 O'clock. Specu
lation Rife,
Ao 9 o'clock last night the jury who
now hold the fate of Baker Bryan verdict
to their rooms at the hotel for the night,
after having fared to agree on a ver
dict up to that hour.
The case was given to them shortly
before 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon and
at 9 o'clock last night they had been
out ior 28 hours. Many thought that
they would not be out more than three
hours at the moat but as it seen, they
Were mistaken. Indications are that
they will not return a verdict before
thia afternoon.
The civil docket was to have been
taken up yesterday, but the law does not
allow the civil docket to be called while
a jury is out on a criminal case. However
a few motions were disposed of. Judge
Foushee stated that unless they reach
d a verdict the jury would not be re
leased until the last of the week.
