half, Charley Barber. negro, cut Tim
mons, also colored, so seriously that he
will die The quarrel took place at an
early hour this morning in one of the
saloon districts of the town. From all
the evidence the affair seems to have
been brutal murder. Timmons tried
to avoid any trouble with Barber, hav-
ing walked away from him on two oc-
casions previous to the cutting. Bar
Der was taken into custody Immediately
after the deed The wounded man was
carried to the city hall where his
wounds were dressed by Drs. Moore
and Anderson The wound is near the
pit of the stomach and the doctors say
there is little chance for his recovery.
Timmons has many friends among the
white people of the town
Work is progressing very rapidly on
the two large tobacco houses now in
course of erection here. The storage
warehouse which is being built by
Contractor Kellett will be nearly COM
pleted during August. This house will
add much to the facilities of handling

Mcssrs. Anderson and Jones' who
have run the Planters Warehouse since
Wilson became a tobacco market, have
formed a partnership with the propri-
etors of the Woodwtrd House. and in
consequence the Planters will not be
open for sales during this year.
The outlook for good crops in Will

Mr.. Hugh G.. Chatham, the new presi-
dent of the North Carolina railroad, is
native of Surry county, and is the son of
Mr.. "a. Chatham. Long before any rail-
road had penetrated Surry county, Mr..
A. Chatham, in addition to his large
farming interests, had flourishing WOOL
en- mill at The site of the present grow
Gs town. OF Elkin. Mr.. Hugh Chatham,
after preparation in the home schools,
was educated at Vanderbilt University,
spending the years of 1SS2'S3-' "a at that
great seat of learning. Upon leaving coll
lege he entered upon his active bust
ness career in the Elkin Wooden Mills
with his father. Shortly afterwards the
new and larger mill was erected and Mr..
Chatham became manager of the bust
ness in 1890, and has since been in charge.
In 1890 he decided to go into cotton manu-
featuring also and built 1000 spindle
mill. In the same year with other lead
ing business men of Elllin be organized
the EllSin National Bank. He is vice.
president OF that benk and is its actual
head He was director of the North
western North Carolina railroad from its
erection until the directorate was abol-
ished by merger. He has been q director
of the State Normal and Industrial col
lege since it was organized, and his asso-
ciates on that board have recognized in
him one of the wisest and most useful
directors of that institution.
Mr.. Chatham has business ability of a
high order as his success demonstrates,
is a patriotic citizen, deeply interested
in its educational and industrial advance
ment; is a Democrat of lifelong stand
ing, and always votes and works for the
success of the Democratic ticket, State
and National He enjoys the confidence
and esteem of the business world in the
highest degree, and his appointment will
give general satisfaction. Hon. Rufus A.

DIspENsARY AT LITTLET0N
President Rhodes Opposes it on Account Of its
influence on His School.

To the Editor: Now since the Board OF
Commissioners of Halifax county have re-
fused to issue license to sell liquor In the
town of Littleton within mile of Little
ton Female College, it is proposed to esS
tablish a dispensary here as branch of
the Warrenton dispensary. The town is in
both counties, Warren and Halifax. This
is nothing more nor less than contin-
uation of the Halifax county fight and an
effort in disguise to re-establish the Sa-
loon in Littleton, because the sentiment
is that If we are going to have liquor at
all we would prefer to have 1t in the
hands of private persons and receive the
revenues arising therefrom, than to have
a dispensary operated under an act which
provides that the profits shall go into the
treasury of the Warrenton dispensary 1t
is not believed however. that the good
men who compose the county board of
control would ignore the act of 1897 pass
ed by the Legislature in its wisdom to
protect the young ladies that are being
educated at the Methodist college here
and establish a dispensary within q
stones throw of the campus. To estab-
fish one here at all would mean that, be-
cause the college is on the Warren side.
Our people with very few exceptions are
overwhelmingly opposed to such propo-
