COUNTY CONVICT KILLED
HOW A WHITE MAN NAMES PRA-
THEIR LOST HIS LIFE.
The Guard Knocked Down ard
Robbed of His Gun-Two
Negroes Get Away

a white county convict, named
Prather, was killed by one of the
guards near Hausertown Friday.
Several of the convicts, accompa-
MED by the guard, were out in the
woods when Prather, Wilburn Walk
er, John Hill (the two latter colored)
made an attack on the guard. The
latter was knocked down. Hill grab
bed the guards gun, and with Walker
made his escape. AS the men ran the
guard drew his pistol and shot at
them. He is of the opinion that he
hit Walker. Hill was unhurt.
During the sllirmish one or two of
the convicts ran back and informed
the other guards that Walker and
Hill were about to kill the man who
| escorted them to the woods. One of
the guards went to help his brother
out, but upon his arrival he found
that Walker and Hill had skipped.
Prather, the man killed, was shot
in the left shoulder, the ball ranging
| downward.
1t is believed that Walker and Hill
are in or near Winston. Hill is sup
posed to have the guards gun-and

THE HARRELL CASE
PrDf. Blair Thinks it None of the
Assembly's Business.

| In the NeWs-ObSeryer-C Chronicle of
friday we find the following communi-
ation from President Blair, of the n.
d. .. Teachers Assembly, in regard to
referring the Harrell matter to the
Executive committee of the Assembly
for settlement:
WINSTON, n. c., Sept. 20.-Upon
my return to Winston early this week
| found d letter from Col. Harrell, re-
questing me to call Il meeting of the
executive committee of the Teachers
Assembly, to be held in Raleigh Sep
tember %, or soon thereafter.
l have not called the meeting be-
cause, as president, l have no right to
cause the representative body of the
Assembly to become involved in
the settling of differences between
Col. Harrell and the members of the
Worlds Fair excursion party. The
excursion was not gotten up under
the direction of the Assembly, and so
that organization does not expect to
bear any of the responsibility, assume
any of the profits, or share any of the
losses.
Again the committee has no power
to engage in the adjusting of accounts
or the settling of grievances among its
members.
Again, should the Elk. Committee
meet and resolve itself into com
mittee of arbitration and award" the
"oppC sition" not being an organized
body could not be officially represent
ed
In my opinion the matter is one in
which the Teachers Assembly is not
concerned. Very truly,
JNO. J. BLAIR
Pres. n. G. Teachers Assembly.
