The incident, which looked as if it would result in a killing, was brought about by the Governor's reply to a question which Norwood asked had question which Norwood had asked him regarding a statement by a Co lumbia physician printed in a Colum bia newspaper relative' to a convict paroled by the Governor about two unfinished sentence nas been completed. 0f Columbia, and out of this entire ag years ago.

Connor is well known in New Bern being an erstwhile citizen and during his stay here is it said that he violated the law by handling a little too much of the spiritus tfrumenti. Anyway, Connor was arrested on such a charge, tried and convicted and sentenced to serve six months in jail and he would have been placed on the roads but for the fact that inCraven county whitemen are not put to work on the county roa'ds However, Connor did not like the con finement and at the first opportunity he made his escape and went to Pamli co county where he has resided since that time.

Be The first Regiment of the Nort'i ( r olina National Guard passed tlii" New Bern early this mornin' route to Camp Glenn, near Mon City, where they will spend several in their annual encampment. I he Third Regiment w a- the first to go in en campment, going to Camp Glenn on July 6th, and spending ten days there, dunng which time the eight hundred men were put through the various drills and engaged in considerable target practice. The First Regiment changed thecamp greatly damaged from that which greet ed them last year. Ten thousand dol lars have been spent 111 making improve ments there during the past vear, and instead of the old canvass mess tents, and canvass kitchens, commodious wooden structures have been erected, and these are filling a long felt want. The rifle range also has been improved, and is in fact one of the best to be fou nd any where in the south. Comprising the First Regiment are the companies from Hickory, Gastonia, Winston-Salem, Charlotte, Statesville, Asheville, Shelby, Waynesville, Mount Airy, Concord, and High Point. In command is Colonel J. T. Gardner and immediately after the arrival of the troop train he will pjt the men at work getting the camp in "war like' shape and before night the last detail had been accomplished. In addition to the regular drilling and target practice the men will find much to take up their time during the ten days which they are to spend there. They are allowed nrtch liberty, and as the fishing around Morchcad City is exceptionally good just at this tinii the "land lubbers" will have nnny stories of remarkable catches to return when they return to their homs in the West ern part of the State. A number of social events have also been prepared for them by the cituens of M irehead Citv, and these are expected to prove of real in terest to the soldier boys.

Man Having Occult Power Enters Into The Case. Now ATLANTA, Ga., July 20. The in vestigation into the Nelnis death note mystery took a new turn tonight when efforts were begun to trace a strange re semblance reported bv Mrs. J. W. Nelms mother of the missing Eloise Nelms Dennis and Beatrice Nelms, to exist be- iwcen Victor h. Innis. the Portland law yer and Professor Laoux, clairvoyant ind hynotist, who was in Atlanta from rebruary 21 to May 18. of this year The mother and liroiher ol the two missing young women were forced to admit that they were without any more substantial idea .f where the listers were than more than a week ai?o when he nation-wide searcn surte.'l Lvery 1 te had led to a blind trail. The last move followed the state ment by Mrs. Nelms that Miss Bea trice had been forcibly struck with the likeness between Innt's and Professor LaVouz at the time she boarded a South ern Railway tram to go to Birmingham to meet Innes. She went to talk over the business relations between him and her sister, and found Innes already on the train with the woman supposed to be his aunt and known as "Margaret Mims. Miss Beatrice, according to Mrs. Nelms has seen Professor Laoux a n imVr of times, and on her return to Atlanta re marked to her mother. "The man on the train looked just like the fortune teller, Professor La Vouz, but he su l his name was Innes." With the vi'v of thoroughly tracing this resemblance. Marshall Nelms, bro ther of t ne missing girls, had a confer erne with Police Cinef Beavers to ob tain his assistance. Mr . Nelms also aided in the probe and visited the Childs Hotel, in South Broad street, wherj Professor LaVo.iz stooped while in At lanta. He registered there as ' 1. i. BischolT and -wife. Kansas Citv, Mo." His wife was described bv hotel attaches as being "good-looking and nicely dressed , with dark hair and iroiva eves. ' She was of medium heigh;. As to whether Mrs. Dennis knew Professor LaVoux is problematical. Mrs. Nelms said that the clairvoyant : had his si.idio in Last Point, near the poslolfice, wn le Mrs. Dennis acted as a clerk in theiut;r office, and that he re ceived his 111 11 there. Ihe professor also had operated 111 Decatur and at l.akewood Heights, being forced into the suburbs because ol the city law against fort line telling. According to information from Car son Citv, Nev., Innes was an adept in the art of hypnotism and the occult sciences, but there is no information that he ever made a regular business of either. Mrs. Nelms had seen Professor La Voux, and gave it as her opinion that there are strong mirks of resemblance between him and the pictures of Innes. . Pete Basil, nianiger of the Childs Hotel, said that when LaVoux left on May 18 he was asked where he was go- : ing, and replied that he would leave no address. His whereabouts now are un known in Atlanta. . . , Professor LaVoux was arrested here ; by Plainclothes Officer T. D. Shaw on March 23 on a warrant from the Muni- . cipal Court. According to reports, his ,: arrest was instigated by an Atlanta wo man seeking to recover a diamond ring from the professor. r , : . POLICEMAN A. A. IPOCK IS OUT AGAIN. The friends of A. A.
