The Vance-Granville Local Chris
tian Endeavor Union held its first
rally for this year at Liberty Chris
tian church. near EPSON. There
was large crowd present all of whom
seemed to enjoy the day. The morn
ing hour was taken up. for the most
part. in the Demorest Contest. The
medal was awarded to Miss Grace
Harris. daughter Of Mr.. Lonnie NJ.
Harris. Mr.. r. s. McCoin made the
presentation speech and it was grace
fully done.
we never saw n more hospitable
people or a more bountiful dinner
Before the morning exercises closed
announcement was made that all
present were invited to all the tables
and ample justice was done to the
dinner, which had been prepared in
the best Southern style, which is the
best compliment that could be paid.
In the afternoon officers were
elected as follows: Mr.. A. J. Harris,
President; Rev. w. D. Howard, Pastor
OF the church at Liberty, Vice-Presi-
dent; Miss Ida Edwards, Secretary
and Treasurer. and Rev. j. S. Will
liams, Chairman of the Lookout COM
mittee. Mr.. S. K. Harris made a
short talk on the Model c. f. Society,
Rev. c. L. Whitaker an excellent
speech on Redemption" and Rev.
j. S. Williams excelled himself on
the subject ..Who is to be redeemed"
All present voted it glad day and
will be sure to go again when the
good people of Liberty shall send an
invitation. All denominations were
present and all felt at home, which is
as it should be. There are MANY
more things that could be said but
space forbids that all the pleasantries
should be mentioned.
We gladly note that they are a pro-
gressive people around Liberty and
that the real Christianity is above
denominationalism, and yet every
man is loyal to his own.

BAdGED THEN ESCAPED.
Bold and Successful Break for Liberty
by a Negro Fugitive From Justice.

About the first of the year a strange
negro came here and engaged in bus
mess, buying out Charley Bridgers.
grocery and confectionery store. He
gave his name as A. Williams. No
one knew where he came from and
about his past history and habitation
he said nothing He increased his
stock and apparently was doing we'll
in business.
Recently Chief Malone received
enquiries from Darlington, S. c.,
about negro named Henry A. Will
liams and from description and in
formation gained the new conner was
readily recognized as the man who
was wanted. He so notified the OAR
lington authorities. Saturday night
three men arrived on the freight
train from Raleigh having wired
Chief Malone to this effect. These
were deputy Marshal, the man who
had become Williams bondsman in
case against him in South Carolina.
and a negro Deceive who had worked
up said case for which he was now
wanted.
1t seems that Williams was con-
nected with a gang of box car thieves
in South Carolina.
He sold the goods after they had
been stolen. He was arrested and
bound over to court in $500 bond.
The trial came on and Williams was
convicted. Between the time of con-
viction and pronouncing of sentence
by the judge the negro ran away.
From that time to this he has been
industriously sought after by his
bondsman and the authorities of OAR
lington.
Saturday night Williams was taken
into custody. He was escorted to the
Mayors Office and there policemen
Malone and Ousby, who had arrested
him, left the man in charge of the
South Carolina officers and a few
others while they went out, one to
send for Mayor Switzerland and the
other to attend to some official duty.
The Mayor soon arrived and as he
appeared in the doorway while the
eyes Of those in the room were turned
toward him the opportunity was i'm
proved by Williams to escape. Sit
ting Immediately under window he
jumped through the upper sash, the
lower inside blinds being closed. He
went out backward, breaking the
glass, and must have fallen on his
head. The boldness of the act and
the suddenness with which the whole
thing was done SO surprised every
body that it was several seconds be-
fore pursuit was given.
Seeing which way he ran several
shots were fired at the negro but he
made good his escape. Williams is
said to be desperate character and
had on him large and dangerous
looking pistol when arrested.

Commotion in Official Circles.

A few days ago as the mail was
being emptied from pouch onto
table in the post office a partridge sud-
denly flew up and struck against the
wirework at the front of the enclOs-
ure. Where the bird came from was
a puzzle at first. Sam Allen said it
came out of the mail bag. Will Gar
rett declared the place had become
"hanted' and Father Prince turned
his trousers pockets inside out to take
the spell off when the back door was
discovered to be open. Then all was
explained, the panic was over and
work went on AS before.
