Late yesterday evening Mr.. B. c.
| Howell, who represents an industrial in
surance company, came into town with
his throat cut, and the blood was flowing
freely. 1t happened in this way: Mr.
Howell makes his rounds on bicycle
and while turning sharp corner some
where in the western suburbs he ran into
a wire fence that did him up pretty bad
ly. His throat and face were cut in
several places and one cut was deep
enough to make the matter serious. A
physician was seen and dressed a, the
wounds. This morning Mr.. Howell was
feeling better, but the wounds have pro
duced much soreness, Il 81 =
Rev. Jacob y. Jones, colored, who had
some unpleasant experience in Oberlin,
village near Raleigh, last Friday night
was on the streets of Durham yesterday.
He walked with a conscious air of i'm
pOrtance, and seemed to be proud of a
black eye he carried around with him.
notwithstanding among most people it is
not regarded as a badge of ministerial
dignity. He talked freely about the I'M
fortunate difficulty, and when once
fairly into a description of the fight his
gyratiOnS and contOrtiOns grew so wild
that great crowd was being attracted
and Policeman Crabtree had to call him
down. Jones says he received a call to
preach the peculiar doctrine of the Holt
ness church in Oberlin, and had been
doing the work to the very best of his
ability; that he is plain, unvarnished
Missionary Baptist himself, but he does
not let his own views about religion in
terfere when he has a call to preach. He
says he will go back to Raleigh in a
few days and fight it out if it takes
all summer"
