FORMER CLERK KING
IS NOW IN THE TOILS
Mr, W. P. King, formerly a clerk in
Collector E. C. Duncan’s office here,
has had presentments returned against
him by the Federal grand July in
Charlotte. Mr. King is charged with
failure to perform his duties, and a
capeas was issued by District Attorney
A. E. Holton, and the marshall will
arrest King and have him before Judge
James E. Boyd at the October term of
the Federal court of Greensboro.
it was shown at a trial in Greens
boro some time ago that the govern
ment was being defrauded out of about
$3,000 a day, or a total up to that time
of fully $100,000, by means of stamps
issued in Indiana and other States,
and that the returns to Raleigh were
fraudulently made to show that the
proof of certain spirits was 190, while
the stamps themselves, issued in
Northern States, showed only 10 proof.
In this manner the credit of the recti
fier on the books at Collector Duncan’s
office at Raleigh was increased 12
times as much as the actual figures
were. W. B. King had charge of these
records at Raleigh, and had only to
look them over, as- the law required, to
see that fraud had been committed.
For failure to do this he has been in
dicted.

APPEAL FROM STATE
CHILDREN’S HOME
SOCIETY
To All Those Interested in Saving Lit
tle Children from Destitution and
Crime.
The North Carolina Children’s Home
Society (Incorporated), is receiving
requests from every section of the
State to assume responsibility for the
care of children that cannot be admit
ted to the orphanages, and wishes to
be in position to take charge of every
worthy case that is offered. We are
limited in our usefulness solely by the
amount of funds placed at our disposal
for the work. Only our executive offi
cer, the State superintendent, and his
assistants, who give their entire time
to the business of the society, receive
any compensation for their services,
the rest of us giving freely of our time
and our means in furtherance of the
cause of rescuing these little ones and
providing for theiff care in good Chris
tian families; We feel sure that every
reader of this appeal is interested in
the success of this society. It helps
the delinquent white child as well as
the destitute or orphaned, but is not in
any sense in conflict with or hostile to
any of the splendid orphanages of our
State; its aim being to supplement
their work by caring for the large
number of children who stand in need
of physical or moral help, but who are
not within the various classes received
by the orphanages.
Already, at our request, three boys
have been pardoned from jail and
chain gang by Governor Aycock and
are under our supervision in whole-
some environment; four little ones
have been taken from the debasing
surroundings of county poor-houses; a
baby has been taken from the slums.
In all thirty-five children have been
provided for during our first eight
months of work.
Governor Aycock has investigated
our objects and methods and made the
following statement:
“To Whom it May Concern.
“The North Carolina Children’s
Home Society, of Greensboro, North
Carolina, under the superintendency of
Mr. Wm. U- Streeter, is doing most ex
cellent work. I had occasion recently
to use this society in securing work
and training for youthful criminals. I
find Mr. Streeter a most intelligent,
conservative and valuable worker in
the cause of saving the young from
crime and thriftlessness and giving
them an opportunity to become useful
citizens. I most cordially commend
him and his work to the consideration
of all good people.
“CHARLES B. AYCOCK.”
Will you not each join with us in this
work and send a subscription to our
treasurer, Capt. J. W. Fry, president
of Greensboro Loan and Trust Com
pany, Greensboro. N. C.; or to our
State superintendent, Wm. B. Streeter,
Greensboro.

Hoga, of the United States marine
corps, on the charge of “scandalous

Hogan was appointed about three
weeks ago.

RUMOKOGIANffi
AMONG THE M
Offiah
OF SOUTHERN RAILWAY
SAID TO BE IMPENDING
The Birmingham, Ala., Ledger, says
there are rumors of great changes in
the personnel of the high officials of
the Southern Railway. These alleged
impending changes are being dis
cussed in a quiet way by the em-
ploye'es of the system.
According to the present rumor,
which may or may not have founda
tion, the following changes will be
come effective some time alter July
1st:
C. H. Ackert, preset general man
ager, will become third ^ a '^-president,
the position formerly held Dy Mr. Gan
non, with the higher problems of the
operating department as his special
charge.
C. S. McManus, general superintend
ent, is scheduled for the general man
agement of the active operation of the
road, the duties of which he is said to
practically perform at present.
M. M. Richey, assistant general su
perintendent in charge of the Western
division is mention as the new gen
eral superintendent in place of Mr. Me
Manus, whom he succeeded here as as
sistant general superintendent.
J. J. Cotter, superintendent of the
Birmingham division of the system, is
given as the most likely successor to
Mr. Richey as assistant general su-
printendent. Mr. Cotter succeeded Mr
Richey as superintendent of the Bir
mingham division of the system on the
first of the year.
Frank Egan, superintendent of the
Mobile division, with headquarters at
Selma, is mentioned as Mr. Cotter’s
successor. .
In support of this rumor it is said
that a conclave is scheduled for Wash
ington in the very near future .that
will see the changes inaugurated. Ev
ery move is a distinct promotion for
the gentleman mentioned in each con
nection, and all of them have proven
worthy of the confidence and esteem
of the board of directors. In all this
discussion, however, never .a word is
being mentioned of the fo-merly ru
mored retirement of President Spen
cer, to become chairman of the board,
and the elevation of W. V. Finley,
second vice-president, to tie post of
president. This was the original ru
mor many months ago.

PLAN FOR SETTLING
SOME EASTERN
COUNTIES
Mr. J. W. White, of Portsmouth, Va.,
the general industrial agent for the
Seaboard, is an enthusiastic advocate
[of immigration to the South, is influ-
jential, in this section of the United
[.States.
Mr. White in a recent interview tells
of a new scheme he has for populating
some of the rich, though thinly set
tled, eastern counties. Humphrey &
Gibson, of Goldsboro, own 5,000 acres
of land in Bladen county. At present
very little of this land is tilled. The
land is fertile and capable of produc
ing good crops of any kind of truck
if it were properly drained and cared
for. By. an agreement the owners are
now ditching the tract and laying it off
into small truck farms containing from
10 to 40 acres. Mr. White’s side of the
agreement is to populate the tract with
people who will be able to make good
livings and small fortunes on it. The
[tract will support 200 families and,
counting five members to each family,
will add 1,000 people to the population
of the State.
Mr. White says that he can, and will,
populate the land. He does not be
lieve in foreign immigrants, and will
A, -aw upon the North and West for the
peo;/ to take up the lands. These
people .-ill be farmers and will be able
to make gpod profits from the begin
ning.

Ohio, Penitentiary, Columbus, June
18.—Mose Johnson, colored, was exe
cuted at 12:30 o’clock this morning
for the murder of. Edward Test, an in
surance man, in October last. The vic
tim was in the chair 18 minutes, and
during that time the current was
turned into him four times. While the
electric apparatus did not cause death
instantly the scenes exacted at the
unsuccessful execution of Schiller

be compelled to place the prisoner
back in the chair after he was declared
dead, they waited a sufficient time to
assure themselves that he was dead.

of every State system he inspects.
Captain Tucker says he is interested
in the way Wake county is building
roads with convict labor, and spoke
well of the’work on the farms. He was
impressed with the fact that this State
is the only place he knows where there
is not a display of force on the part
of the management and wearing of
shackles by the criminals in dealing by
a State with convicts.
